His Scarred Beauty (Complete)

Chapter 32 Unveiled

"Karma has truly been a boomerang in every sense.

I never realised what I gave you.

Untill I got it back in the end."

....................................................

He sits there , surrounded in chaos.
His own breath the only thing , audible to his ears.

With eyes fixed at the letter on the floor ,he was feeling numb to all humanly emotions.

"Why Soph...why..."

A broken cry leaves his lips as he holds his hair in his hands, running them down to look up at the ceiling.

The tears that trail down, don't stop. Instead they re route to come down to wet his ears.l now.

He breathes heavily, still not able to believe it.

Trying to calm himself, considering the possibilities.

Knowing already that the solution was only one.

.
.
.
To see the truth with his own eyes.

To unveil the secrets his wife has been trying to hide.

To look at her like he has never seen before.

To trace her scars below.

With new set of determination in his eyes, he looks up at the clock and exits the room.

It was finally time to unveil the truth.

She walks in late at night, tired of the thoughts and turmoils.

The visit to Delia ,was not as expected. Instead she reached there to only get to know that she never lived there.

Another loops, that land her back to the beginning.

Not even a step closer to the truth.

She was halfway up the stairs,when a voice calls from behind.

Surprising her.

"Where were you?"

The darkness of the interiors and night, making it difficult for her to identify his presence behind.
Turning around,she comes face to face with her husband.

The look on his face, calm and emotionless like always.

"Sh**! You scared me Ethan. What are you doing alone, sitting with the lights off?"

Her question surprises him, but his answer surprised her even more.

"I was waiting for you."

She just stares. Waiting? For her. What was he trying to do.

"Why?"

She asks with a raised eyebrow, to only have him move closer to her.
His eyes gardening, not liking her question.

"Why what? Can't I wait for my wife to return home safely."

Her mouth opens and closes in surprise. And she flutters her eyes, trying to step back from him.

"You...you can...of course you can but it's-"

She forgets what she was going to say when suddenly he grips her wrist and pulls her to him.

A gasp leaves her lips as her front hits his chest and he wraps his arm around her waist.

"Careful"

He whispers,as she stared at his brown orbs. Gulping ,she looks back to see she was at the edge of a step and would have fallen back if he hadn't held her.
