Fleeing the Nightmarish Father novel Chapter 78

I never perceived my life would be this incomplete and painful without you, Saafia. A few hours without you in this empty place was too painful for me.

‘Please don’t leave me like this. Come to me, my love, please…’

I wish you could have stopped and listened to my heart’s condition but you didn’t and now how could I possibly tell you that I was not your culprit?

“Dammit…”

Cursing, I was on the ground, resting my back against the bed in the messy room as I gave Ian the job to find out who the hell casted his wrong eyes on my home.

Before reaching out to Saafia, I would deal with that person in the worst way to show him his place.

With tears glistening in my eyes, my phone rang as I hastily picked the call, “Yes, Ian? Did you find out?”

“Uh.. Sir…” He paused worriedly.

“Tell me, dammit.” I growled, not in the mood to hear hesitations.

“It’s Sam.”

He blurted out, boiling me in utter rage to perceive he crossed his limits and went too far in his blind rage to test my last straw.

Why was he doing this!? He was fine two years ago. What happened now!?

Growling, I cut the call and threw my phone away furiously.

“This is all your damn fault. I won’t forgive you for it.”

Scowling, I rose from the ground, wiping my tears to teach him a lesson for forgetting his place day by day, he had gone too far this time.

With a never ending growl, I went to Jacey’s mansion where she was living with this asshole.

“Sam!” Yelling, I had lost my mind in rage.

I didn’t care about anything except for the fact that my beloved was angry with me and left me.

And the one who became the reason behind it better prepared himself.

“Dariel?” Jacey came with Sam and the second my eyes fell on him, everything he had done now, harassing my wife at the engagement, faking allegations on her and now telling her the secret I couldn’t.

He had challenged me too many times and now would pay for it.

“What happened? What are you doing here-”

Not allowing him to act oblivious and test my non-existence patience, I grabbed his collar and began to hit him constantly, throwing him on the stairs and started punching him again.

“How dare you!?”

Shouting, my voice broke, staggering Jacey what he did this time that I started hitting him out of the blue but this time my rage was inexplicable, he had severed a sensitive nerve of mine.

“Why did you do this?! What hostility you had towards me!?”

Yelling from pain, I stood up and kicked him, throwing him down the stairs with blood flowing out of his mouth. Coughing in pain, he was writhing in pain while I was growling.

“Dariel, stop hitting him! What are you doing!? Leave Sam!”

Jacey shouted, grabbing onto my arm when I was about to go down and hit him again but my heart was anguished today.

I won’t stop this time.

“How can I, Jacey!? After he stole her from me!” I shouted, pulling away from him as tears brimmed in my eyes, astonishing Jacey to find me overwhelmed with agony after a devilishly long time.

“What are you saying?” She asked, on the verge of crying, coming before me to not hit that asshole.

“I won’t forgive you! Why did you do this?!” I hissed.

Glaring at Sam who coughed up blood and looked at me with a concealed, dark smirk, flashing all his wrong intentions towards me and my family.

With a tear rolled down, I slammed my hand on the railing breathlessly as I broke into an unwanted sob.

“WHY DID YOU TAKE AWAY THE WOMAN I LOVE!?”

“Dariel…?” Jacey stopped immediately, blinking in disbelief when I screamed my heartache. Panting, tears gleamed, showing that I was in pain.

All because of him.

“Ask him, Jacey… Ask him why he did that?” I cried, turning my head away, wiping my tears with a few deep breaths to not sob.

‘Please pick up the call, please, please.’ I prayed deeply and they listened as her cold resonance came.

“Hmm?”

My heart skipped a beat, placing my hand over my chest, I fell on the bed, curling my lips in a smile that provided me with serenity.

“Talk to me, at least, please.” I whispered desperately, wanting to tell her a million things but it was not the right time.

“Talk to you about what?”

“My night is extremely lonely without you.” I confessed, closing my eyes to focus only on her.

“These are the result of your actions, Dariel. I cannot do anything about it.” She sighed, the hollowness in her cheerful self was stabbing me.

“Sorry, I have nothing to talk to you about for now.” She was about to cut the call and take my emotions along but I didn’t let her.

“Saafia, please don’t cut the call.” I requested, growing hopeless.

“Why not?” She scoffed.

“I just want to hear your voice, let me, please.” I pleaded, pressing my head harder into the sheets to fall into darkness if I couldn’t hear her voice.

She paused for a few seconds and then her hurtful voice came as well, “Don’t hurt both of us by this.”

“Then return to me, please. C-Can’t we sort things out?” My tone broke too, I couldn’t hold that anguish inside me.

There were so many things I must tell her but I was not sure how I could do it. Or, would she believe in me?

“Sort what out? You hit my father, got away with this, never told me about it either and now when I am angry, you are realizing your regret?” She growled in a low tone.

“I am sorry… I am so sorry…”

“Your sorry cannot fix the mess you have created, Dariel.”

Before I could continue my apology, she cut the call angrily, leaving me rejected in this painful night to manage myself but at this point-

Who was I without her? She had become my habit.
