I Want You Back by Meminger

Chapter 0031 

Jason 

Seeing Laura kiss another man was so painful for me that I couldn’t even explain it, it hurt as much as if I had been hit by a train. They were there right in front of me, kissing and destroying me. I felt so much hatred that I didn’t think twice and went after that idiot, really wanting to kill him, but Terence was right; no matter how much he beat that idiot, Richard, I knew that it was all my fault; I had lost Laura, and you didn’t get that chance twice in your life. 

“You have to calm down, Mr. Davies,” said one of my security guards who was close to me, still holding me as I watched desperately as Laura walked away with Richard. 

“Let me go!” 

I let 

go of him and ran towards the elevator. I tried to open it, but the elevator was busy, so I ran to the stairs and rushed down, running as if my life depended on it. If I ran hard enough, maybe I could be in time to catch up with Laura. I just needed to 

tell her one more thing, I needed to try one more time, or I would torture myself 

forever. Laura needed to hear me one more time. 

I didn’t understand how I managed to get down more than twenty flights of stairs to 

the first floor, but when I got down and ran to the parking lot, I could see Laura and 

Richard approaching a car. When I was ready to call for him, that’s when I saw their 

child. 

It was a girl. 

The girl got out of the car and ran to hug Laura and Richard, looking at Richard with 

a worried look because of the bruises on his face. They spoke briefly and got into the 

car like a complete family, then the car drove off, and I could only stand there and 

do nothing, suddenly realizing how crazy I had been this whole time. 

I had lived all this time fixated on the idea of having Laura back; I had done nothing 

else in my life but live for that, but unlike me, Laura had moved on with her life; she 

had a daughter and a man; she had a family, and she wasn’t willing to leave her 

family to come back with me, so I was the man who hurt her so much in the past.

I was being so stupid this whole time, I had done such stupid things since I met Laura again. Furthermore, I had crossed all limits thinking that this would be the way I would get her back, but in reality, I never had any chance with her, not after what I just saw in mine. 

Laura seemed happy with her family, she seemed to be completely in a healthy relationship with Richard and their daughter. It hurt me more to know that I would be Richard now if I hadn’t abandoned her to listen to my senseless desires. I had made the biggest mistake of my life, and I was paying the price for it. 

Laura 

I could see Jason in the rearview mirror as our car pulled out of the parking lot, he had seen Richard and I interacting with my daughter, and it touched him. He looked visibly shaken as he still watched our car drive away. I couldn’t take my eyes off him until the car pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road. I sighed sadly. 

Not only that, but I didn’t want things to get to this point, I just desperately wanted Jason to get away from me because he represented a great danger to my current control. I had a terrible fear of giving in to his charms and falling into his arms again later, so I did everything I could. That was a necessary evil, what happened to Jason was a necessary evil. 

Now I was the one who seemed to be the villain of the story, who had been the victim all this time and was now the bad guy. One thing was true: I could see that Jason regretted leaving me because of a past fling, and I could see that he wanted me back. But had he changed? If I went back to him, would I be happy, or would I go back to living my submissive life like I did when I was married to him? 

I mean, now I felt like a complete woman with goals that weren’t limited to just taking care of a man and satisfying his desires; now I had new goals and responsibilities; I had a daughter to take care of now, a career, and me to look after, take care of myself and love myself, I couldn’t ruin all that by getting back together with Jason just because I still loved him, I would be a million times happier if I stayed with Richard. 

I felt Richard’s affection on my leg and I looked at him, smiling weakly, he could understand what I was going through. 

“Does it hurt a lot, Ricky?” Anne asked, being all worried about Richard’s bruised 

face. We had done our best to clean the blood off his face so that Anne wouldn’t see 

so much blood and be traumatized, she was still too young to see certain things, but even so, you could still see the bruises on Richard’s face. 

Richard was laughing lightly now, trying to hide his pain. “It’s okay, I just hit my 

head against the wall and my face looked like this. Never do that, okay, little girl,” he  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

said to Annie, who nodded. 

“I promise I’ll never hit my face against the wall,” she replied. 

“Very well, my sweetheart. Now please sit back down straight on the bench, okay? 

Don’t be so worried about Ricky. We’re going past the pharmacy so he’ll be fine,” I 

said, reassuring her, and she obeyed promptly and stayed playing on her tablet, 

playing a children’s game. 

“Is he still following us?” Richard asked if Jason was still in second and I looked in 

the rearview mirror again seeing that there were only regular cars behind us. 

“Not, and even if he’s in the second place it won’t do any good,” I replied shortly. He 

nodded, still keeping an eye on the road, and smiled. 

“What a peculiar way to give me my first kiss,” he commented with a goofy smile as 

ag 

he remembered our kiss. It was true that he and I had never kissed until now. “Even 

the pain on my face becomes pleasant to feel, a nice price for the kiss.” He was 

laughing with some excitement, I also smiled, but my smile didn’t reach my eyes, I 

hadn’t found it all that exciting. 

“I’m glad you liked it,” I replied, trying to show interest. 

“You kissed me in front of everyone, Laura. You kissed me in front of him, I sure feel 

accomplished,” he said, still in a frenzy, and then grimaced in pain as he felt his 

bruises complain. 

“Don’t strain your facial muscles too much, otherwise it will only make the situation 

worse, okay?” I told him and he nodded. “And keep quiet too because I don’t want to 

talk about this, I don’t want you to remind me of the horrible thing I did,” I wanted to 

say that too, but I just sighed and stared at the road, wanting to get home soon.
