Chapter 229 He Finally Met Her



Bleugh!

Remembering the the earlier scenario and the sound of skin slapping echoing from Peter\'s office, Shauna felt her guts churn and she threw up everything she ate that morning.

She coughed when she felt her throat burn. All her strength had disappeared along with her sanity when she heard those things. She flashed the toilet and went to the sink to rinse her mouth and wash her hands.

A Greco employee walked in and frowned when she saw Shauna\'s dishelved appearance. "Who are you?"

Shauna didn\'t care as she left for home. She just needed to get out of that nightmare of a place..

She didn\'t know how she drove home. She felt numb and was like a robot automatically doing things that she had grown accustomed to. She went to the dining room where the dirty plates still awaited her and she sat down staring into space.

She remained like that unmoving, still not accepting what she had witnessed was her reality. Her brain still could not process that horid scene. Though she didn\'t see anything, her mind had already painted a picture from what she heard.

This was supposed to be the same boss he was complaining about the day before. Could it actually have been a lover\'s quarrel? Did he turn her down the other day becauseof her? What about the other times? How long had this been going on for?

So all those times he had missed his time with their boys, the times she embarrassed herself by trying to spice things up in bed, he used work and fatigue as an excuse because of her? She should have known! How else was he relieving himself when she relied on a vibrator? It was Gwen! All along it was her.....

Her phone started to ring. Her numb face gave a slightly surprised reaction before she answered.

"Hey, I got my tablet thank you. Why did you leave it at the reception instead of coming up?"

She fell silent, unable to speak because of the tears that had started rolling down her face.

"Shauna?"

"I\'m here", her tone was quiet and he didn\'t detect anything wrong with her.

"Okay! I won\'t be able to come home tonight. The trip has suddenly been moved to today. I\'ll be leaving with my boss this afternoon. I\'m sorry, I know it\'s short notice."

"Okay."

"I\'ll call you when I get there. Tell the boys sorry for me. I love you, bye!"

She didn\'t respond and simply ended the call. She folded her arms on the table and buried her head in them. Her shoulders shook as her silent sobs became louder.

The pent up emotions she had suppressed spilled out through her hot tears. How could Peter do this to her? To their family? She slammed the table with a fist as she cried her heart out.

Meanwhile, Xavier, who was no longer suffering a heartbreak was enjoying the beautiful green scenery that was Albany. He had remembered to take his camera and took beautiful shots of Hudson River.

"Hmmm", he hummed in approval as he appreciated the shot he took. He walked with his camera in one hand and the other hand stuffed into his pocket enjoying his self directed tour.

He reached a bridge that crossed over the river. He kept to the pedestrian side as he slowly walked. He stopped when he saw ducks swimming in the river. He took a couple of pictures of them since they were moving.

He checked the shots that looked good and deleted the ones he was not pleased with.

Ring!

"Look out!" A man on a bicycle from in front of him shouted.

Xavier quickly moved to the side to avoid the man who had lost control of his brakes. He watched as the man dragged his feet on the ground to stop his bike on the slopey bridge.

"Sorry man!" The man shouted over the sound of his dragging shoes.

"It\'s okay!" Xavier shook his head and was about to leave when tripped over himself and lost control of his camera that was falling into the river. "Oh! Shit!"

Without a second thought, he climbed over the rail and jumped in to save his camera. He was so quick with his actions that he didn\'t hear anyone behind him shout after him.

"No! Don\'t!"

Splash! Xavier disappeared under the water. Another splash was soon heard but Xavier didn\'t hear anything as he swam to save his camera. He smiled to himself when he found it. He was about to swim up when something hit his head rendering him unconscious.

His hazel brown eyes flattered open after ten minutes of being unconscious. His vision was a blur and he could hear a sound but it was distant. A face came into view as his senses started to clear.

Chocolate brown hair that was wet, big and beautiful green eyes with specs of blue and yellow in them, naturally thick brown brows but with a beautifully shaped, rosy cheeks, pink plump lips and a fare skin. This person.... seemed familiar! But from where? And what happened?

"Hey! Can you hear me?" Her voice was now clear. He now noticed that when she spoke, her dimples would show.

Dimples. She\'s that girl he had been seeing around town! Never in a million years did he ever think they would meet like this. Seeing her from up close, his heart could not help but misbehave.

"Are you alright? I think we should go to the hospital!" She was about to get up when he held her down with a clasp of his hand around her wrist. Her brows went up in question.

"What\'s your name?" He managed to say quietly.

She was taken aback by the sexy rumble of his deep voice but maintained an impassive expression. Why is he asking her name? "Lorraine.... Lorraine May."

What Xavier did next caught her off guard too. He laughed as he stared at the sky, revealing his beautiful smile in the process. While she wondered what was wrong with him, he had one thought.

\'Shit!\'
