Chasing the rejected luna’s heart - Chapter 185: Chapter 185

~DELILAH ~
"That bastard!" I screamed then grabbed a pillow and hauled it at the wall.
"Delilah, you need to calm down" Clara murmured softly and I turned to her with a glare.
"My husband is with those witches all alone and hasn't even thought to call me or even send a message? How am I supposed to calm down?" I asked and she sighed.
"Why don't you just call him? You know the way he felt before he left" She uttered and I glared at her.
"You're supposed to be on my side, you're supposed to support me" I told her and she nodded.
"I am on your side but right now isn't the time to be so difficult, Delilah. Luca not only walked away from you but from Mia as well because he wanted to be better for both of you. I'm sure that has to be the toughest decision he has ever made" She said to me and I frowned.
"He should have stayed, we would have found a way..."
"You know we won't have, Delilah..."
"I can't live without him, Clara. I've built my whole life around him and now, I feel so fucking useless, lonely, empty. This is hard on me too" I muttered softly and she immediately wrapped her arms around me.
"I know sweetheart but I'm always going to be here for you. Your brothers and parents are going to be here for you. I believe Luca is going to do everything he can to conquer the voices quickly so he can get back to you and Mia. This is the time you both need to contact each other the most, he needs you as much as you need him" She murmured then pulled away with a soft smile.
"But why isn't he calling me first? Does he really think I don't have the balls to divorce him or cut him off?" I muttered to myself and she rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Stop being stubborn and call him already so you can talk to him before Mia wakes up" She said and I sighed and was about to reach for my phone when "Husband" popped up on my phone screen.
"He's calling" I screeched then grabbed onto the phone.
"What are you waiting for? pick up," Clara uttered and I pursed my lips.
"I'm just waiting for a few seconds. He doesn't need to know that I was waiting for him..." Before I could complete my sentence, she reached forward and picked the call for me.
Immediately, Luca's deep voice came through.
"Delilah?" He called out softly and I had to stop myself from crying for the hundredth time.
"What is it?" I asked a little harsher than I intended but I needed him to know that I was mad at him.
"Are you still mad at me?" He asked softly and before I could reply, Clara spoke up.
"She's not mad, she's just stubborn and misses You like crazy" She quickly said and I slapped my hand over her mouth and glared at her before she could say anything more.
"Don't listen to her, I am mad at you and you chose to leave so why would I miss you?" I asked and I heard him sigh.
"Well I miss you so much, Delilah. It hurts to know that I won't get to wake up and see you next to me now. I should have held you tighter, hugged you tighter and kissed you as many times as I could before I left because I miss you terribly" He replied and the sincerity in his voice made a tear slip down my cheeks.
"If you missed me that much, why didn't you call sooner?" I asked and he sighed.
"I thought giving you space was what was best for us right now. We both need to come to terms with the whole situation. Plus, I didn't know if you were really serious about cutting me off so I didn't want to bother You and give you more reason to be mad" He uttered and I frowned.
"And if I was serious about cutting you off? What if I file for a divorce right now?" I asked.
"Filing for a divorce won't stop you from being my wife, Delilah. Plus, I'd never sign it" He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Well I know how to fake your signature. After I'm done signing it and finalising the divorce, I'll run away with Mia" I threatened him.
"No matter where you are in this world, I'll find you and drag your ass back to the altar and marry you over again" He replied with playfulness in his tone because he knew I'd never divorce him.
"I want you here, Luca. Are you sure you can't just come back?" I asked and he sighed.
"If I could, I fucking would but I can't right now but I assure you that I will work hard so I can get back to you. Once I get a little better, I'll come visit" He stated and I sighed.
"Pleass Delilah, I need you more than ever right now. This isn't easy for me as well. It will take everything In me not to run to you every passing day but I need to be strong and so do you" He murmured and I sighed. So this was our life now?
"You have to call me everyday and update me on how things are going. If you don't call me for one day..."
"I will, of course I will and you also have to update me about your day and about Mia as well. I don't want to miss out on anything" He uttered and I nodded.
"You won't, I'll make sure you don't" I told him and we both went silent for a while.
"I love you, I love you so fucking much" He said softly.
"I love you and I need you to be safe. If it's too hard and you cannot handle it on your own then share your pain with me, I'll help you out. I want to help you too, Luca" I said to him.
"By talking to me, you're helping me. By being my wife, you're helping me. By being you, you're helping me. I won't be anything without you Delilah so don't for a second think that you're not helping me because you're the one helping me the most because you're my strength"...
