    FLEUR POV


    Immediately I stepped into the room, I jumped on the small bed and groaned.


    Such a long day at work!


    Geez!, I hope I make more deliveries tomorrow so my sry will increase, there are so many debts to settle.


    ” Gosh!, I’m so tired “I grumbled before walking to the small kitchen to prepare something to eat.


    Then, a knock came on my door.


    Who’s that?


    I’m sure Mateo isn’t yet back from work.


    Dragging my legs to the door , I opened it and realized Brady is the one knocking.


    My ex boyfriend, My heart skipped a bit and opened the door wider for him.


    ” Is there a problem? “I asked immediately he entered the room.


    He look so sober and remorseful.


    ” I came here to apologize, I knew how much I’ve hurt you but I want you to forgive me, It was my fault, And I know that, But please, Find a ce in your heart forgive me, I’m ready to make amends ”


    ” And what if there’s no second chance?, What if I don’t want to forgive you, What if I have another person already?, What if…”


    ” That man right?, The one I saw you with yesterday? “He asked and I could sense his mood is changing from remorse to anger.


    ” Yes, And there’s nothing you can do about it ”


    ” How cheap you are!, Offering your body already to a man you met yesterday?, Just like the way you did in our two weeks of rtionship?, Oh really?, I wish you can cheat on me with someone better “He scorned and I pped him immediately.


    A tear slipped down my face and he took a deep breath.


    ” Really?, You had the guts to p me?, Like seriously? “He yelled and grabbed me immediately, He pushed me to the bed roughly, I moved away from him in fear.


    ” Stop this Brady, We are no longer together” I yelled and he scoffed.

    ” Let me go! ”


    ” Not until I’m done with you ”


    “Then you have to be done with me first “A cold angry voice interpted immediately and I heard a loud heavy punch


    I cover my face and sobbed softly.


    After a while, I bring my hands down and it was Mateo.

    ” Are you fine?.”


    ” How did you know?, Howe? “I asked sobbing.


    ” I was in my room when I saw him through the window so I have to tail him here, Hope he hasn’t done anything to you? ”


    ” No, not at all, You saved the day ”
