Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

ANASTASIA

My chest heaved up and down as I watched Dennis grip his hair, his eyes squeezed shut.

He finally turned to face me. He exhaled loudly. "I am sorry."

He shook his head and repeated, "I am really sorry, babe. I'm sorry for driving off that night."

My heart squeezed in my chest as I saw his eyes water. I could tell that he felt bad; that he didn't do all that he did intentionally. Or simply because he was mad at me or the situation we were in.

I wanted to go to him and wrap my arms around him but I remained seated on the bed and just watched him.

"I'm sorry for not picking up your calls or returning them when I later saw them."

He took a step closer and I didn't stop him like I would have a couple of minutes ago.

He hesitated for a while, seeming to guage my reaction while he said, "There's no excuse for me to be such a jerk to you, especially with everything going on."

He closed the space between us. He lowered himself into a squat and took my hands in his. "I'm sorry, Ana. I swear, I didn't mean to behave the way I did."

I sighed and closed my fingers around his hands.

I noticed the fall of his shoulders as he seemed to to relax. "Thank you so much for not giving up on me," he said but I said nothing in return.

I knew I couldn't leave things just like that.

"I can tell that you're sorry, Dennis but this isn't really you. What is really going on?"

He rubbed his hand over his face.
