Tangled in Love

Chapter 75: Farewell or Love?

I gently laid her down on the bed in her room. She moves and holds my hand - with swallowing the lump in my throat I carefully pulled my hand from her hold and covered her under the soft duvet. I was about to leave when she murmured my name making me turn - I looked at her, she tried to sit but I stopped her and sat down on the bed on the bed next to her;

"Are you leaving?"

She said sadly with sleepy eyes as she holds my hands.

I shook my head and kissed her forehead;

"No, honey I was about to join you in the bed after making an important call"

I tried to assure her but she surprised me when she sat up and rested her head on my chest as she wrapped her arms around my waist;

"Having you in my life is like living a dream and it feels to good to be true"

She said slowly as she buried her face in the crook of my neck and left a soft kiss on my jaw.

I felt my stomach in knots whenever she showed affection towards me during these few days and somewhere deep down in my heart I prayed for her to remember everything that has happened between and I hope she won't regret any of this moment. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Mayaan purring in sleep - she had fallen asleep on my shoulder while hugging me. I pulled her closer as I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and kissed the top of her head;

Its time for me to leave and walk away from your life like I never belonged with you, I have to stay away from you just the way you wanted but no matter how far you go, you will always be in my heart and I will keep loving you till my last breath...

I thought as I gently pulled back and laid her down on the bed. I leaned in and kissed her forehead;

"Bye... my... princess"

I whispered as I tenderly caressed her jaw with the back of my thumb. I blinked away the tears and stood up from the bed after covering her in the duvet.

I carefully closed the door of her room as I step out of the room;

"Why are you doing this to yourself?"

Asim said aggressively as he walked towards me and shrugs my shoulder but I stayed quiet and grabbed the cardboard box which was filled with magazines that had me on the cover including a scrapbook of my articles and my sketches. I found these things from Mayaan's nightstand drawer. I couldn't believe after all these years she bought the magazine, tabloids with me on the cover and drawing my sketches but not anymore because everything related to me should be vanished out of her life and it is for her own good and well-being. I was about to walk away but Awadh stops me as he stood in front of me while Tim, Asim, and Jadlaan were behind him;

"Are you really going to let her go just because all of a sudden you think you are cursed?"

Awadh said heatedly;

"Yes, I will and I have to because if I don't then tomorrow one of my enemies would come and hurt her again which I can't bear it anymore. She was living a good life when I was nowhere around her but the moment I stepped in her life she had to go through the pain and misery which were destined for me but she was the one who faced it, she always got in trouble because of me but not anymore because she deserves to live without having a fear of someone who would come and take revenge from her because of me"

I said firmly as I looked in the eyes of the men in front of me.

They were shocked but none of them spoke. I took the box and left the penthouse with an aching heart because leaving her was worse than any pain I ever felt before.
