Alpha's Lost Luna Returns With His Twins-Chapter 203-My Side Of Story

Kash:

I did not know what was worse, the fact that she was hurting or the fact that I could not explain why I had cheated on her.

Part of me wanted to yell at her and tell her to trust me, to close her eyes to everything. But that was not possible.

I was not the only one who had been betrayed in life or who had things weighing on him. She was suffering deeply. So demanding that she close her eyes was truly unfair.

Still, it caused a lot of strain between us. When I stepped out of the bathroom, I heard her cry.

I was that unlucky and exposed man who could not even go back inside to comfort his crying mate. If I did, the questions would be raised again.

There was only one way to comfort her, and that was to tell her the truth she wanted, the truth I could not give.

Once I left the room, I was already too tired to see Lara in the living room. It felt as if she had been waiting for a chance to be alone with me. She rushed to her feet and moved toward me, clearly upset.

"Where are you going?" she asked, placing her hands on her waist.

"Are you finally coming to my room?" she demanded, tears forming in her eyes.

"Not tonight, Lara. I have to go outside," I told her, trying to move past her, but she kept stepping in my way.

"From spending time with her family to staying in her room ever since you returned, do you think I am a fool, Kash?" she remarked. Her harsh tone made me slowly lower my head and look her in the eye.

"I am noticing everything, every fucking thing, and I am starting to wonder if you truly expect me to believe you ever loved me."

She paused, as if trying to hold back her tears.

"Because if you had, you would not be leaving me like this. We got married, Kash, and you left to look for her. Do you not see how she ruined everything? She is making you do this. She has you wrapped around her finger, and you dance to her cries. But enough is enough. I am not going to sit here and let you two treat me like shit."

She grunted and gently touched her cheek, wiping away the lone tear slipping from her eye. I stood there, watching her in silence. After a few seconds, she chuckled and shook her head.

"Wow. And you cannot even comfort me," she shouted, her voice rising.

"You know what? This is it. I am done. I am leaving," she declared.

For some reason, I could not stop her. I was already overwhelmed. My mind felt blocked, empty of any thought. I silently watched her cry in front of me.

"Seriously? Nothing? You are not going to say anything?" she complained, pressing a hand to her chest as she cried.

"I do not know what to say," I replied. "All I know is that I have nothing to say that will comfort your heart. So if you want to leave, fine."

I did not know what came over me, but I asked her to leave. Her eyes widened, and her hands flew up to cover her mouth before she quickly wiped away her tears.

"Good. I am leaving," she said. She turned and walked away, and once again, I did not stop her.

Even though I knew that to be with Iris again, I needed Lara for my plan. Still, I could not stop her because, in that moment, it felt like we had both ruined my relationship.

I walked out of the mansion to take a stroll in the garden. Part of me wanted to smoke, but I knew that if Iris saw me from the window, it would turn into another argument.

Then I heard someone else step outside the guest house. I turned slightly and saw Iris’s father coming out, his hands clasped behind his back. He moved toward me and glanced at the mansion.

"Looks like you two had an argument," he commented.

I smiled and shook my head.

"Yeah, well, it is about what happened earlier," I replied bluntly.

"No, it will always be about why you cheated on her," he corrected calmly.

As soon as he said that, tears formed in my eyes.

"Why will you not tell her why you did it?" he asked gently.

"Are you going to ask me why I did it?" I asked instead.

"Well, I would like to know why a man who loves my daughter so much took a step he knew would scar their relationship," he replied.

His words hit me hard. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back before opening them to stare at the sky.

"Iris needs the blue water pearl as well," I admitted.

The moment I said that, her father tilted his head slightly.

"It started a few years ago when I noticed she began to pass out often. I grew worried and started looking for answers. I ran all her tests, and there was nothing wrong until someone approached me and told me exactly what I needed to do to save Iris."

As I spoke quietly, her father listened without interrupting.

"They told me she needed the blue water pearl, and for it to work, you can never tell the patient they are sick or that the water they are drinking is a cure. I cannot tell her that.. I married Lara so I could get the cure for Iris."

When I finished, I felt lighter for the first time in a long while. I had finally explained my innocence to someone.

"I had a feeling that you—that there was something you were hiding. I wish I had known it was this," he added softly.

"You should get the water quickly before it is too late. And once my daughter finds out, she–she will accept you with open arms."

Hearing him say that gave me confidence and relief. I needed it for the night. Without it, I would not have been able to sleep peacefully. However, as I focused on his words, something else came to mind.

"Shit," I muttered.

"I asked Lara to leave."

I sighed, throwing my head back before slapping my forehead.
