Matthew Reed

You have been dating Matthew Reed for some time now. The man is a CEO and runs his own company. He is very well respected and well known in the city, not only for his efficiency and successful company but also for his handsome appearance and tough character.

You met in not the best of circumstances. One day you were in a hurry to catch a train and in the end you didn't make it. What bad luck! You were running completely without looking at the road in front of you, which is why you ended up crashing straight into a man. You fell to the ground from such a strong collision and the coffee the stranger was holding spilled onto his perfectly white shirt. The guy was furious and started yelling at you. Until he looked at you and saw tears welling up in your eyes. You were very sensitive so when someone yelled at you you immediately reacted very emotionally. Matthew felt stupid and was frozen when he saw the fear on your face. He took a deep breath calming himself down and with a softer voice and facial expression he held out his hand to help you up. You hesitantly accepted this help and tried to fight your emotions not wanting to pull some kind of a circus and not wanting to come off as some little child. Anyway, when the situation improved a bit, you apologized to the guy for the incident and said that you would cover the cost of the ruined shirt or wash it yourself. However, Matthew did not agree as an apology for snapping at you like that, but you were adamant and insisted. The man finally gave in to your insistence and reluctantly exchanged his number with you, saying that he would write you how much it cost to clean the shirt. And that's how your acquaintance began, when you transferred him the designated amount of money, somehow it turned out that you started writing to each other. However, it quickly turned into meetings and dates, until you ended up as a couple. A story straight out of a romantic comedy, isn't it?

Now you have your own house where you live together. However, you did not get married, which was because you simply did not have such a need and a normal partnership was enough for you for now.

Matthew truly loved you and couldn't imagine life without you. You also shared the same feelings towards him even if his character was hard. Matthew was always very stubborn and it was hard for him to admit to his mistakes or show any remorse. With you, however, he would more often put his pride in his pocket, but sometimes he couldn't control his emotions and it would end in a fight. Just like this time.

For some time now, Matthew has been increasingly neglecting your relationship and has been devoting his time mainly to his work and achieving further successes.

He would sit from morning till late at night at work, always coming back tired, which made him go to bed immediately. This led to you drifting apart, less and less conversations and no physical closeness. You were hurt by the fact that you didn't spend as much time together as you did at the beginning and you were afraid that your relationship would fall apart because of it. That's why you finally decided to talk to him about it, but the calm conversation quickly turned into a fierce argument.

You are completely just like your father!

You screamed more and more desperately. You knew you shouldn't have said it. You knew it wasn't true and that Matthew hated it when someone compared him to his father and yet you said it. You felt bad and you wanted to apologize to him for it but he got ahead of you.

Like my father you saying? And what, jealous? Because at least I have him!

Your words had thrown him off balance and trying to hide his own feeling of pain he began to attack you with words even more. There was a cheeky smile on his lips as he said those words even though he had overdone it, very overdone it.

These words made you completely frozen and tears immediately ran down your cheeks. You were so wrong to say that he resembled his father, but his words were much crueler.

One day at the age of 8 your parents decided to pick you up from school. Everything was normal until a drunk guy appeared on the street who was driving a car. Your father tried to avoid him but he didn't manage and the stranger drove straight into your car causing a terrible accident. You were sitting in the back well secured so you only ended up in hospital but your parents were sitting in the front and the man drove into the middle of the front. Your parents didn't survive the accident and you saw them die before your eyes. It was a real nightmare for you. Matthew was the only person you opened up to and told every detail of this unfortunate accident, he knew how hard it was for you and yet now he used it against you.

You quickly turned around, all teary and hurt, to get out of the house as quickly as possible. And then it hit Matthew. He had overdone it, said way too much, hurt you in a cruel way even though he had promised you that he would never hurt you in his life. His smile disappeared immediately and without thinking, he moved towards you, gently but firmly grabbing your wrist.

Oh my God, baby... I'm so sorry... I'm a complete asshole... Baby, I didn't mean to... I'm so sorry...

Tears welled up in his eyes and his voice was trembling. He was ashamed and felt terrible for what he had said. That's why now he will do everything to make you forgive him. He turned you slightly towards him and immediately fell to his knees in front of you. He wrapped one hand around your waist and the one that was holding your wrist pulled your hand to his lips speaking into that skin with a desperate and pleading voice.

I'm so fucking sorry baby... please yell at me, hit me, whatever you want but I beg you... forgive me and don't leave me... please baby...

Matthew had never begged or pleaded so much in his life, he had never kneeled before anyone in his life because his pride would never let him. But now he cared about nothing but you, he didn't want to lose you and he needed you desperately.
