CHAPTER 6

"I finally found you Trisha Drake." I muttered locked up in her gaze. My voice was full of regrets and guilt.

Now more than ever I felt so much remorse for what I did a few years back, i could only imagine how cruel my actions were.

I was only trying to keep my reputation and image clean, oblivious of the fact that I was just making one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

At the verge of trying to keep it clean on my side I was actually causing her more harm.

I was barely done judging by past actions, when she abruptly pulled her hands off my grip.

"don't you dare touch me." she muttered more like a groan. 

She had all the liberty in the world to get mad at me, even if it means hitting on me, I really don't care, cause I knew I deserved something even worse than what I had done to her.

"please trisha hear me out." I implored with a really sympathetic tune. I made it so obvious that I was actually remorseful for what I did in the past

I attempted to reach out to her hands again but she immediately pulled out.

"What do you want from me huh?" She asked in an upset tune. For a while I was speechless, I had no words to form as an excuse whatsoever.

"I am..."

"Do you realize this is harassment?" She asked in a stern tune. I lowered my head In silence.

"Please sir, you need rest, so why not go in and have some rest, I mean all this drama you're pulling is actually not necessary sir " She let out, making me turn my gaze back to her in a confused expression.

"Sir?." I thought within me, how come she behaves as though we had never for once crosspath?

Why is she acting as if this is the first time we're seeing each other?

"Trisha?." I called, as she turned away from me.

For the first time I felt something like a fluid drop down my eyes. The way she acted as if she couldn't remember a thing that happened in the past really hurt her.

Although I expected her to get all emotional and probably yank at me or something, but trying to pretend as if nothing happened between us was something I couldn't take.

She took her gaze back to me. "I don't know why you keep calling me Trisha In that tune, I mean this is the first time we're seeing each other and the only relationship we both have is that, I am your doctor and you are my patient." 

"So please sir go back inside and relax, you still need some rest, till you fully recover." She spoke at once, not even sparing a glance to my eyes even though she faced me.

"Thank you." I muttered. "Thank you for saving my life even when realizing that I was the same man that left you shattered and broken." 

My words made her take her gaze to meet my eyes finally, and for a split moment I could see the unhidden beauty in her. Her eyes were a replica of red roses. They were honestly pleasant to behold.

But amidst the beauty, and the charming looks, I could also see sadness, pains and dejection in them.

No matter how much she tried to hide it from me, I was just too smart to be fooled.

I knew she could still remember the pains of the past, the depression I made her go through, everything was as fresh as i felt it.

She was actually trying to condole the pains so it won't look that obvious.

But then my wolf kept whispering to me that she was really hurt.

"Mr Oscar Atlas." She called in a formal tune staring straight to my eyes, at this point she was concealing her emotions.

"You're my patient and I literally just did what any doctor will do to a patient in a critical condition" she responded in a stern tune.

"You owe me nothing for saving your life ,I literally did my job sir." She added and made a turn to leave when I clutched her wrist once more.

"Please Trisha." I muttered as she halted not turning her face in my direction. "I was drunk that night."

I moved a step closer to her. "I was so helpless in that bar, and for the first time, I felt so lonely and worthless, I was still grieving her death." The thought of my late wife brought back the pains I was fighting hard with in the past. 

She was the only woman that had sparked up light in my dark world.

I could feel my eyes getting heavy again. "C'mon Oscar, she's gone, she's of the past, Trisha is your present now." My wolf initially whispered.

I braised up as I took my gaze back to Trisha. She was already staring at me.

Her eyes glassy as the fluid in her eyes fought so hard to be released. "Y...you were there in my dark moments, I was drunk, and you helped me go home just to make sure I was safe." I uttered.

She was silent as she stared at me with teary eyes. "And out of your kindness and innocence, I took advantage of you, and we had a one night stand." I muttered in guilt. 

"I... I was a monster, only concerned about my feelings." I added as I took my gaze to her.

"I seek for my own satisfaction, not caring a damn about how you feel.." I said it straight to her eyes, as the tears she's been holding up for long finally slipped off her eyes.

I moved closer to her. She appeared to be so vulnerable. Staring at her eyes I could no longer see that hardened and angry Trisha no more.

Rather I saw an emotional, and broken Trisha. I couldn't help it anymore as I wrapped her around my arms.

"I'm so sorry for abandoning you after I had taken advantage of you Trisha." I said in a guilty conscience.

I was hoping she'd forgive me. I can't loose her, ever since she left me for years, I felt as though a part of me had gone with her.

I was barely done with my thoughts when she pushed me off.
