*Inside Justin's apartment*
“You did what?” Nina asked incredulously.
“Nina… Listen to me… I didn't know anything. I can swear it on my life”, Justin said as he tried to hug her.
“Don't touch me! Take your dirty hands off me! It disgusts me just to think that these same hands touched another woman intimately,” She angrily threw his hands off.
“Nina…”, Justin called, sounding pained.
Nina then stood up from the sofa, calmly turning back to look down at Justin. She had reverted to the Ice queen everyone was familiar with. He instantly had a bad premonition about whatever she was going to say.
“Jay, I think we need a break.” She dropped the bombshell and even though he had expected her to say something he wouldn't like but still… Not this!
“…Wait… What???.. A break?!.. More like a break-up!”, He blanked out for a minute on hearing her words and stood up in anger as he stammered out.
“I said I know absolutely nothing! I just had a few drinks with my business partners at a bar and the next day I woke up with a strange woman by my side. I am not even sure if anything happened! Why can't you for God's sake understand that, huh?”
“You don't understand, do you?” Nina asked softly as she stared at him directly in the eyes and said word for word.
“I can't accept that MY man slept with another woman, even if he knew nothing! It makes me feel dirty and I definitely can't take that!”
“Nina, you don't mean it, right?” Justin still asked as he looked pleadingly at her though when he had heard her say the word 'dirty', a flash of hurt appeared in his eyes.
One wouldn't know how his subordinates and business partners would feel when they see this proud and arrogant man on usual days begging a woman humbly. But how could they understand the depth of his love for the woman in front of him, not to talk of begging, he would do so much more, after all, he was the one in the wrong here. He didn't care about his pride if it could make her stay, but from the looks of it, he didn't think it could make any difference...
"You know me, Jay. I am a clean and possessive freak. So I can only breakup with you and after today we would no longer be related in any way." She replied with chilliness in her tone trying hard to hide the quiver in her voice when she mentioned breaking up with him.
"No! You can't do this, Nina, I love you and cannot live without you, and you know it!" He panicked and grabbed Nina's arms tightly making her wince in pain which made him hurriedly let go of her and looked at her nervously and hurriedly apologized.
"I am sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you, baby."
"But you must be joking right, Nina? We can't break up not when there is just less than a year before our big day! We had plans, baby! Our honeymoon, the children names and I even bought our house already, Nina. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you, only you!" He continued saying with deep emotion as he lightly held her hand hoping he could move her heart even just a little bit.
Indeed, Nina's expression wavered a little but before he could fully rejoice, her face turned cold again and she unceremoniously threw off his hand and looked at him indifferently.
"You should have thought about that before you got drunk and left yourself at the mercy of others."
Justin knew right then and there that there was no longer a turning back. He and Nina would never go back to how they were even if they got back together. He had ruined it all for them even though to be honest, he wasn't exactly sure how he had done that.
"Nina!"
“Stop it, Justin! You knew me better than anyone. You should have guessed the result when you decided to hide it from me. Three months! YOU lied to me for three frigging' good months! And I had to find out only when that little bi*ch decided to come to look for me!”
Nina inhaled deeply to stop herself from getting agitated and completely losing control of her emotions.
"WE ARE OVER! We were from the moment you slept with that woman so you can forget about whatever wedding you have in mind or maybe not, I forgot you still have a ready substitute you can hold a wedding with!"
“Nina… How could you say that I should hold a wedding with that woman?!! Can't you give me another chance? Give US another chance. I need you, baby, I do.”
"Another chance?!"
Nina asked with incredulity written all over her face like she heard something very ridiculous.
"You want another chance?! But I think you forgot one thing... That b*tch is pregnant... by you," She stated calmly while pointing indifferently at his chest to make sure she got her point across properly.
"So there is no second chance. There was never one from the minute you slept with her to when you hid it from me and to the moment I found out."
Justin: ".I.."
He became speechless because he knew she was saying the truth after all he was most familiar with the kind of person she was exactly which was the reason why he hid it from her in the first place and not because he had been guilty. If he had known earlier that hiding it from her would have led into a much bigger problem, he would have come clean to her right in the beginning.
But could he have predicted that an incident he had thought nothing of would have separated him from his beloved? He just didn't know who it was that scheming against him. If anyone tells him that nobody was messing with him, he really wouldn't believe it because why else would that stupid model who he had already warned suddenly go to meet Nina and talk nonsense?
His eyes narrowed as a cold glint flashed in them thinking to himself, "You better not let me find out whoever you are or else…"
The thoughts in his head seemed to have taken a long time but in reality, it happened in seconds. After which he gave Nina his full attention and opened his mouth to say something.
However, Nina gave him no chance to say anything as she already turned towards the door and walked out right out leaving behind her faint words.
"Goodbye, Jay."
