THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

As Edward drove with no destination in mind, he kept on thinking about what had happened that night. His heart was heavy and the pains he was feeling that night was quite familiar as it was the same pain he had felt the day his mother died and the night he found out Sophia was cheating on him. But the pain he was feeling that night was different; it hurts different. The pain was more than the ones he had felt before and he felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He tried taking the scene off his head but he just couldn’t. He tried focusing on the road ahead but he just couldn’t. He also tried to brace himself up not to cry but he didn’t know when tears started to roll down his eyes, making his vision blurred.

“Why did she do this to me? Despite the love I have for. How could she deceive me and hid such a thing from me when I was so transparent and opened with her? Why do I get hurt every time I try to fall in love? Why can’t I ever be happy? Just why?”, Edward yelled, hitting his hands on the steering wheel. After driving for some time at a high speed and with no destination in mind, he decided to park by the road side. On parking, he reached out for his diary which he had written all the special memories he had with Ellie and began to read it amidst tears. As he read each page, he felt like each memory was being played right in front of him. He remembered how they laughed together and how she mended his broken heart. His mind went back to how she had struggled so hard to convince Collins in having a collaboration with his father’s company just to keep their love and it was at that moment he realized that, she truly was in love with him.

“Her love is real. I could see it in her eyes and amidst her struggles that she truly cares for me and she wants to build a future with me. What then changed? Why did she do that to me? I need to know the reason. I need her to tell me why she has decided to hurt me so badly”, Edward thought aloud, reaching out for his phone. It was at the point of reaching out for his phone that he realized what he had done some minutes ago. He had told her to get down from his car in an enclosed place and he had left her there standing and watching him as he drove off.

“What the hell have I done? Why did I leave her there? What if something happens to her and my baby?”, Edward thought, dialing Ellie’s number and upon mentioning the baby, he remembered what he had said out of annoyance to her.

“How could I have told her the baby isn’t mine? Why did I hurt her feelings? What if she hurts herself? She is not even picking my calls”, Edward said in frustration, blaming himself for all he had said to Ellie. Although he was hurting himself, he still cared for Ellie. He hated seeing Ellie cried or getting hurt. After calling her line few more times with her not picking, he decided to go back to where he had dropped her, hoping to meet her there in good condition. And so, he turned his car around, heading to the destination he had in mind.

Upon getting there, Ellie was nowhere to be found. He called her several times again but she still didn’t pick up. He searched every corner he could, hoping to see her there but he didn’t.

“If anything should happen to her and my baby, I will never forgive myself”, Edward said with grief, looking worried and disorganized. Since he didn’t see her there, he decided to go home, hoping to see her. He hurriedly rushed back to his car and sat at the driver’s seat, holding onto the diary and he said:

“I promise to find you”.

He started the car and zoomed off, on his way to Ellie’s place which he had seen as his home. But what he didn’t know was that, he would never see Ellie again neither would he gets to Ellie’s place that night. Halfway to Ellie’s place, a truck driving in full speed crashed into Edward’s car. His car strayed off course and swerved wildly. He tried to regain control of his car, to steer back onto the road but he didn’t have a chance. The car skidded with his tires screeching, and then tumbled.

In no time, Edward hit his head on the ground and was covered in blood. He was lying lifeless on the floor, holding onto his diary in his hand. Even in such a devastating state, the only thing he could think of was to see Ellie. When a passerby tried to help him by rushing him to the hospital, he kept on muttering:

“I need to see her. I need to make sure she and my baby are safe. I need to tell her I didn’t mean what I said to her earlier. I really need to see her”, he muttered slowly, amidst his pains before everything went blank.

Ellie on the other hand, had boarded a taxi after she was dropped by Edward. She didn’t blame him for all he had said as he knew he had spoken out of anger and annoyance. As she headed home in the taxi, she kept on thinking about her life. She blamed herself for not telling Edward about her past as soon as possible.

“If I had told him, this wouldn’t have happened. I was trying to avoid him cutting off ties with me but now, I have finally lose him. How could I have been so stupid? Why did I allow Kevin to deceive me that day? What will happen to my child now? Will he grow up without knowing his father? It is clearly evident that I have betrayed Edward’s trust and that he doesn’t want me anymore. I wonder if he is safe where he is? I wonder what he is doing right now? I hope he isn’t drinking himself to stupor just to ease his pains? I wish I can comfort him but how can I when I am his source of sadness? How am I going to live my life without him now?”, Ellie had silently thought, while on her way home, shedding tears. She never knew her phone was ringing as it was on silent. She had thought Edward had forsaken her not knowing that he was thinking about her and their child and also looking out for them.

On getting to her house, she had alighted from the taxi. Just as she got to her doorstep and was trying to open the door, she felt a sharp pain in her heart; as if a part of her heart was being ripped off. She yelled in pain, slowing sitting down by her doorstep and she wondered what could be happening to her. What she didn’t know was that, she felt that pain because Edward had gotten into an accident and he was in pain. Neither of them knew that their hearts had been connected.
