He used to hate her

Chapter 18

" He's your fiancé? He doesn't even know about that,"

" Yeah, how would he know? He lost his memory. We have been preparing for it all this time. You just trying to sabotage it by taking advantage of him. That must be your purpose, right? That's why you saved him. Or maybe you must be the reason for this accident..."

" Stop it, Veronica. You don't know what you are talking about. I'm did nothing to him. Are you there for him? Nobody's here. I'm the only one who's there for him. You have no rights to talk at all." I yelled at her while I tried to look at Xander. I don't know what he's thinking from this conversation. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

" You are right. You are the only one taking care of him. But you don't have to do that. I appointed two bodyguards for Xander. They are on their way to the hospital. They will take care of him until I'm coming back for him. Get your things and leave Xander. If I don't, I will make you leave. I already told the bodyguards to get rid of you. I'm ready to take down anyone standing in my way." She screamed and made her point loud and clear. She will make me leave.

Sofia already told me that I should leave once someone's here to take care of Xander. Now, it's time. I don't want to leave Xander. It's just been three days and everything's falling apart in my life again.

Suddenly, a hand snatched my phone out of my hand. " Xander? What are you doing?" I whispered. He's already on his feet, standing next to me.

" I don't know who you are and who you have been to me. But this is not a way to treat someone. Especially someone I care about, someone who saved me. You are not bringing any bodyguards for me and I'm defiently not going to see you when you visit me. Do you understand?" He shouted at her. He shouted at Veronica. This is something that Xander never did in his life. Atleast I believe he never did that.

What the hell is happening here?

" You don't remember me. That's why you are talking like this, Xander. We are engaged. You love me. I love you. All this time. Please, accept it and let the bodyguards take care of you. I will make it up to you. I will make you recall your memories. We have the greatest connection." Her voice softened like Xander is her whole life. She pleaded him with a manipulative voice.

" I don't remember loving you. I'm not going to ask sorry for that. Ask sorry to Madison or cut the call." He demanded.

" I'm never asking sorry to her. She's parting us apart using this accident as an advantage."

" She isn't. I can't understand that I loved someone like you. That old Xander isn't me. The word Xander doesn't make sense to me. You have to try harder to make it up with me. And I don't think you will succeed in it."

" Why are you being rude to me, Xander? The way you talk now, make me feel like that our marriage isn't gonna work." She sobbed on the other side of the phone.

"Yeah, it's not. I can't marry a stranger. I don't even know myself. I'm calling off the marriage." He told firmly without a second thought. No, I never thought this would happen. What if he regrets this later? Will he?

Before she could reply, he hangs up on her.

" You can't cancel the marriage. You would have wanted that before the accident, Xander. You don't need to do that. Think and decide." I said those words even I'm not okay with this. I don't want to a reason for any problem in Xander's life.

From what I know, Xander never hated Veronica until now.

" I already thought and decided. When I don't even know myself, how can I marry some unknown stranger. I know I saw Veronica and my pictures in my account. But that's not going to change anything. After hearing what she said to you, I can't marry her. According to me, this is my first impression of her and it's the worst among all." He replied, taking a key from his pant pocket. I got distracted by the key.

" Is it...What's this key?" I stammered.

" It's my key to my house. Henry told me where I'm living. I want to go there now." Xander stubbornly said, opening the door. It's already 10 pm and he wants to leave the hospital. Sneak out of here without getting discharged.

" You are insane. You still need a lot of rest and some tablets. You still have your head bandage now. You are not leaving in this stage." I blocked the door entrance.

" I can't stay here, Madison. It's freaking out. I want to know about myself. I want to see the house I'm living in. I could find something about myself. We don't need to stay at my house. Two hours is enough. Then we can leave." Xander told me like I'm coming with him.

" We? What do you mean by we? "

" You are coming with me. Everything's going to be fine. Just two hours. Plus, I'm not leaving you after hearing what Veronica said. She's going to get rid of you by appointing some bodyguards. Come with me," He looked straight into my eyes. His lips are close to mine. I'm realizing that I'm standing close to him. My eyes shifted to his lips. This closeness is distracting me. The only time I kissed him was years ago. It wasn't a good memory but it was my first kiss. His first kiss too.

" You are coming right? Don't say no, Madison." He whispered as he tucked some of my hair behind my ear. Okay, I can't control myself if this moment continues.

" I'm coming. Lead the way. But you are going to keep up with the time. Only two hours." I reminded, opening the door wide.

" Thank you so much," he responded by hugging me once and we sneaked out of my hospital and booked a taxi. Once we settled in the taxi, we got all the time for ourselves again.

" What else did you talked with Henry? Anything important?"

" Nothing much. He told me that I owe a company somewhere in new york. It's too hard to remember all the jobs I'm multitasking. It's going to take me days to know all about it. Right now, someone's being a substitute for my job. That's a relief."

" Wow, the only good thing I heard today," I replied and looked at the dark sky. I haven't really travelled by taxi. Even it seems new to me.

Finally, we arrived at his house. It wasn't a small house or an apartment but almost looks like a mansion. From outside, I could see the glass balcony railing. Who knows, the house might have a swimming pool.

" Come on," He motioned his hands as we reached the entrance door. At that time, my phone buzzing inside my pocket. I took it to find a message from Henry.

Henry: I'm sorry for telling Veronica about Xander. She appointed a bodyguard to take care of Xander and they ordered them to get rid of you in a possible way. They found that you and Xander aren't in the hospital. They are searching for you now. Where are you? Please, reply.
