Kevin's POV

I opened the door only to see the most unexpected person standing outside my house in this dark and quiet night.

"What the hell are you doing here" I snapped at her because I really didn't want to see her face after whatever she said and did today and also I didn't expect her to come at my place as I made myself quite clear this morning that I don't want to see her face again but yet here she is, standing in front of me.

I don't know what the fuck she wants now.

"Kevin, will you please invite me in because it's pretty cold out here" Kelly said.

I looked at her suspiciously.

"Look whatever act you are trying to..." I spoke but was interrupted by her.

"Please. I promise I just want to talk and nothing else. I won't create a scene this time" She said as I sighed before inviting her in reluctantly.

"So tell me what is it that you want to talk about at this hour of night" I asked sitting across her on the couch.

"Look I want you to listen to me with patients, just don't get mad okay" She said hesitantly as I nodded my head in agreement wondering what she has got to say now.

"I'm sorry for whatever I did and said this afternoon. I just want you to know that whatever I did, I did it for a good reason. I also consider you as my brother...I always have. I never looked at you in any other way and also I don't hate Ashley. I can never..." She continued but I interrupted her as I was just getting more and more confused as she talked further.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean. I don't understand and why should I believe you now after what you did" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I was just testing you and yes you were right I was talking to Ashley that night, I have been in touch with her since she left" She replied making me even more confused.

"You knew from the start where she is, you saw how miserable I'm without her yet you didn't even bother telling me her whereabouts. And why the hell were you testing me and what were you even testing that I'm still faithful to her or not" I yelled at her because I have had it enough now, the people I used to trust...the people I used to call my friends and family, are the same ones who left me to feel the pain and agony of being away from the one I love even when they knew very well where she was all the damn time.

"Look Kevin, when she left she told me that you were cheating on her..." She replied softly as if talking to a child.

"What" I whispered almost to myself, interrupting her once again.

"Yes that was exactly my reaction, she said that you were cheating on her. You were away on your business trip when she came to know about it and she was so broken that she couldn't even sleep at nights. She just couldn't bear the thought that you betrayed her...that you broke her trust...her heart. She was so stressed and restless that one night she had lots of sleeping pills just to escape everything...just to sleep for a while hoping that it would all turn out to be a dream and when she wakes up she would find you right beside her. But the reality was totally different when she woke up...she woke up in a pool of her own blood. She rushed to the hospital but deep down she also knew that the damage was already done and nothing could be done to save her baby. The doctor confirmed that she had a miscarriage due to overdose of sleeping pills and too much stress" She said as tears slide down her eyes by the time she finished saying all this.

I just couldn't bring myself to say anything because I was feeling it all over again, the pain of losing my child...and hearing how Ashley had this miscarriage brought me even more pain because I just don't understand whom should I blame for all this. Ashley? For being so irresponsible and careless that without even confronting me she took such a step that killed our baby. Or myself? For not being able to be a good husband whom she could trust no matter what the world said. I don't even understand what did I do to make her think that I was cheating on her because as much as I remember everything was going great between us before I left for that damn business trip, than what happened suddenly that made her believe that I cheated on her.

"She blames herself for losing her baby...she is punishing herself. I wish she had immediately informed me about what she was going through so at least I would have been there for her and not let her do anything stupid that could harm her or the baby. She called me and asked to meet me the day she was leaving and that's when she told me everything. I tried to stop her from leaving because I didn't think it was good for her to be alone after everything she has been through, but she was adamant about leaving" Kelly spoke snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Does anyone else from my family knows about this" I asked as I tried to hold back the tears my eyes held, from slipping down.

"No, just me. She told me not to tell anyone, especially you" She replied.

"Than why now, why did you tell me everything now" I asked.

"Because of this" She replied grabbing a piece of paper out of her jacket's pocket.

"It's the letter you wrote to her" She said with a sad smile.

"The day after the dinner at Ashley's parents place I came to meet you at your place to talk because after the conversation we had that night, I somehow felt like whatever happened...it might not be your fault after all. Your maid informed me that you were in your room but you weren't. Than I found this letter on your nightstand and I'm sorry to invade your privacy but I read it and realized how much you love Ashley and you could never cheat on her" She added as I stared at the letter in her hand and recalled that I wrote this letter the night I came back from her parents place.

It felt good to meet my family after so long but still there is one person missing from my family and nobody can fill the void in my heart, no matter how much they try to cheer me up or try to make me forget her by not mentioning her.

And after a while I did something that I never thought I would do because I always found it very childish...I took a paper and pen from the drawer beside my bed and as I was about to write something on the blank paper in my hand, I stopped for a second as I chuckled at myself.

Am I really doing this, I thought to myself before shaking my head and pouring my heart out because I just needed to let out the anger...the pain. I know it won't do anything to help my situation but maybe I'll at least feel light for a while.

And as funny or childish as it may sound but yes, I wrote a letter to Ashley that night just to feel connected to her somehow.

I just needed to feel connected to her.

And I did.

"I promised my friend and sister that I won't tell you anything but yet after reading this letter I felt like you didn't cheat on her and it might just be a misunderstanding but I just needed to confirm it before telling you where she is because if you really did cheat on her than you don't deserve her and when you came at my place last night I decided to do what I did today because I wanted to see it in your eyes. I wanted to see the love for her in your eyes...the rage when I talked shit about her. I wanted to see that if what she said was true or what I saw in you in these four months is true" I snapped out of the little memory fogging in my head as I heard Kelly speaking to me.

"I get it, you were just looking out for your friend" I replied before a thick silence took place between us.

"It's funny how I wanted to know the truth so badly a while ago but now that I know it I wish you hadn't told me anything...because after knowing everything I don't even know if I'm mad at her for not trusting me enough and for doing something so stupid that cost the both of us something really precious...our baby" I spoke after a moment breaking the silence.

"It's quite late, I think you should leave now" I said politely.

"But Kevin at least let me tell you where she is. Just go to her and make things right before it's too late" She replied confused.

"Right? What right...I don't think there's anything left to make right between us anymore" I said laughing.

"It's over...it's all over...I guess we both were just too wrong for each other" I whispered to myself.

Hey guys,

Sorry for stopping this chapter here.

I wanted to bring Ashley back in this chapter only but it would have gotten too lengthy.

But don't worry I'll be updating the next chapter in a day or two.

Oh and it's my birthday today.

Anyways,

Please vote, comment and share.

Until next time.

Love,

Crystal ❤️
