Chapter 131: Break-up


    “Bill, it’s the opening of my new restaurant today. Have you forgotten it?” With nerves trembling with


    anger, Trishia cooed. Today, she went there with a very vibrant vibe. She wore all red colors for good


    luck in her new venture though she’s really not into business. For her, the only thing she likes the most


    is exposing her timeless beauty to the world and Bill of course.


    “Oh.” Bill stopped signing. His expression was very obvious. He forgot the event. “I will drop by after my


    work is done.” He dered.


    “Oh, no! Bill my dad is waiting for us.” Trishia refuted immediately. She had prepared all the media in


    Capital Z to cover the opening ceremony of her newly opened restaurant just across the Sky


    Corporation building. The main purpose is to show the world that she’s not just a beauty but also a


    business-minded one just like her fiancé, Bill Sky. She even bought the former coffee bar at a triple


    price for her restaurant just to be in that area.


    Trishia walked beside him with a coquettish pleading expression. She should need to bring Bill or her


    preparations will be ruined. She could not attain to be theughing stock of the town when she would


    appear there without him. If she needs to kneel to him, she would do it just to achieve her goal.


    “Bill, please. Just this one.” With her sweetest flirtatious voice, she pleaded. Reaching his shoulder to


    give him a massage but Bill quickly stood up. “Okay. 5 minutes. Let’s go.” He walked past her with big


    strides. Trishia quickly ran to catch him and hooked her arm to his.


    Inside the bus, Arabe let out her cries. The doctor had already called her that her mom was


    sessfully transferred to the VIP room of Sky Medical Group. He was even shocked at how powerful


    is Arabe’s connection inside that her mother had given a VIP room and a VIP doctor. He couldn’t


    believe that Sky Medical Group went to the center and made the necessary procedure.


    Arabe just listened to him while her tears flowing uncontrobly. If only he knew what she had to do


    just to get that transfer done. She had to deal with the monster and sold her soul to him.


    After hearing that her mother was already transferred, she opted to travel by bus. She didn’t want to go


    back home. She’s not prepared to face Damien. She felt very disgusted with herself and she had lots of


    questions in her mind.


    6 years with Adam and Damien, she had a peaceful life back in country Y. She never thought that


    peace would be over so soon from the time she stepped in Capital Z.


    How could she face Damien now?


    Is she going to act in front of him like nothing had happened?


    She’s a dirty woman and she didn’t deserve him.


    Because of that psycho, she betrayed her boyfriend. The person who never left her for 6 years.


    In the middle of the road, the traffic light made the bus stopped.


    “Wow! Such a perfect match made in heaven!”


    “Yeah! I wished them to get married right away and make many lovely babies.”


    While Arabe was crying silently, she heard mor by passengers inside the bus. She didn’t mind


    them as her swollen eyes were fixated outside until theynded on the big LED screen hanging on a


    huge building.


    She saw Bill and Trishia together. Trishia was glued to Bill waving and smiling proudly at the camera.


    “Wow! Such a perfect couple!”


    Someone sounded again with a voice full of excitement.


    Arabe suppressed herself from shouting at everyone how evil the couple is.


    The man is a jerk, a scumbag, a killer, a monster, disgusting, and the king of all evils!


    The woman is a fake, a vicious envious trying hard bitch!


    Getting a hold of herself, Arabe closed her eyes. She didn’t want to see them again as they are the


    reason for her sufferings and aside from her mother fighting her life every day, she still had to settle the


    matter with Damien.


    Thinking of Damien, her heart was clenched hard.


    When she came home, it was alreadyte. It’s her only way of avoiding Damien but just when she


    reached the floor of their apartment, he was patiently waiting for her outside standing and leaning on


    the wall.


    Arabe was stunned by his presence outside. He seemed to wait there for a very long time. Dispirited,


    she quickly lowered her head and strode towards him.


    “You’re here.” She said inly but deep inside her guilt was killing her softly.


    “I am worried about you.” Damien answered and weed her to his embrace.


    Feeling his warmth, Arabe sobbed. She wanted to control it but it all rushed out in his embrace.


    “Hey! What happened? Are you all right? Is your mom, okay? Hearing Arabe’s crying, Damien was


    alerted. There must be something displeasing that happened along the way.


    “I am sorry, Damien.” Arabe had said the words that her heart had been longing to say to him. She


    thought she can just act in front of him like nothing happened but she just couldn’t.


    She’s not a good liar and never a good pretender.

    “Why? Why are you saying that?” Damien frowned and his expression became puzzled and worried.


    “I…I wronged you.” Arabe started to confess.


    “Hey,e on! Whatever it is, forget about it. I can forgive you.” He had already something in his mind


    of what happened to her and he didn’t want to hear it. He felt intense anger but he could not show it in


    front of Arabe.


    “Damien, don’t do this. I don’t deserve your love. I am not a clean woman. I betrayed you and you


    deserve someone better.” Arabe broke the hug and got something in her pocket. Quickly, she held


    Damien’s hand and put the ring on his palm.


    “No. No. Arabe, you can’t do this. You can’t do this!” Damien opposed hard. He hugged her again


    and not wanting to let her go.


    “Please don’t do this. Let’s talk about this. Don’t give up on us. Please.” Damien’s begging voice got


    hoarse and his hug got tighter.


    Arabe felt Damien’s pain but she knew she’s doing the right thing and that is letting him go.


    “Then tell me, can you ept that your woman went to another man’s room, knelt at him, and y…”


    Arabe was shocked by her words. She was driven by her surging emotions. The intense hatred she


    felt for Bill, her guilt, and her decision were all mixed up that triggered her to speak harshly.


    “Stop!” Damien cut her words shouting. The thing in his mind was right and he didn’t want to hear


    anything about it.


    Feeling his anger was about to explode, Damien punched the wall then quickly strode out but stopped


    in the middle, turned around, and asked, “Did you ever love me?”


    His eyes turned a bit reddish and gloominess mixed with anger was seen directly in there.


    Hearing Damien’s question, Arabe was taken aback.


    It’s just a matter of yes or no but she could not decipher the correct answer to his question.


    Yes! She loved him as a friend but she knew it’s what Damien wanted to hear.


    The clock was ticking but still, she was lost for words. With tearful eyes, she looked at Damien sending


    him the message that she could not utter, ‘I am sorry.’


    Meeting Arabe’s eyes, the little hope in Damien’s eyes had switched off. Then, he ran away swiftly


    with a bleeding fist.


    “Damien! Damien!” She never wanted to hurt him but the situation had gotten its way and out of her


    hand. “Damien…” She cried calling his name as she felt the loss of a friend. Sitting on the floor while


    her back was leaning on the wall, she let go of all of her tears then memories of them came rushing in.


    ‘You are so heartless, Arabe! You should have handled it painlessly!’ She regretted and hated herself


    but it was toote.


    The damage had been done.


    Damien was hurt.


    But on a side note, there’s no painless way of letting a person go. It’s always been painful especially


    when you had her or him for a very long time.


    Meanwhile, At the bar,


    “Hey, girl! Look that good-looking man, OMG! He’s exactly my type!” A brte skinny girl giggled


    watching at the man from another table.


    “Oh, shut up and drink. He’s too good-looking for you.” The girl with a big mole on the cheek eximed.


    “Waiter! Waiter! Some more here!” The man they were talking about shouted.


    “OMG! He’s so drunk.” The brte girl was babbling with dismay.


    “Why’s everyone not hearing me? Are you all people deaf in here?” He raged at the futility of the


    people around him.


    “Sir, please go home. You are very drunk.” The manager of the bar followed by his two bouncers


    convinced the man politely.


    “I am not drunk! Who are you? You are useless!” The man’s voice resonated the bar making the people


    caught their attention.


    “Sir, if you will not listen, I am sorry but we have to drag you out.” The manager was obviously holding


    his temper.


    “Stop talking nonsense and serve me more drink! Now!” The man pushed the manager roughly but


    good thing the bouncer had caught him before he stumbled.


    The scene was palpable to everyone as the bouncers started to drag him out forcefully.


    “Excuse me, my apology Mr., he’s with me.” Lira came to the rescue after seeing Damien being


    dragged by two big muscled men.


    She was with John and some clients in the bar. At first, she thought it was not Damien as he can’t be in


    Capital Z.


    Probably, he’s on a vacation?


    But she quickly got rid of it. Capital Z is a ce for booming businesses not for tourist vacation.


    When he stood up, Lira had a clearer vision of him. She’s not wrong.


    It’s Damien Lewis.


    The man she left in Country Y is now in Capital Z.


    He’s here!


    Seeing him again, made her caught in the middle of joy and sadness. She tried her best to erase him in


    her life and she thought she had gotten over him but she was wrong. Seeing him again made her


    longings for him surged up.


    “Hey, you! Who are you?” Damien was wasted. His eyes were glossy and drifted around her.


    “Damien, It’s me, Lira. Let’s go!” She said while putting his arm on her shoulder. He was heavy as he


    could not walk properly.


    Seeing a familiar face, Damien didn’t argue and let Lira assist him.


    “What happened? Why are you here and why you are so drunk?” Lira had many questions in her mind


    but seeing the man who couldn’t carry himself properly she stopped asking.


    Inside the cab, “Damien, where’s your ce?” Lira asked but no answer. Damien seemed already


    sleeping.


    Lira had no choice so she brought him to her rented apartment. She had a very hard time moving him


    as he was very heavy. Then she heaved a sigh of relief when she finally seeded in putting Damien


    on the sofa.


    “Ara… Be…” In his sleep, Damien sounded.


    “Ara… Be…” He muttered again with his eyes closed.


    Lira came closer to him and put her hand to his forehead. She was right, Damien had a high fever.


    rmed, Lira quickly went to her bathroom and got some water to clean his body. She closed her eyes


    when she opened his pants but to her surprise, something fell on the floor from his pocket.


    Lira opened her eyes and looked for the ring that rolled over under the sofa. Stretching her hand, she


    reached for it with all her reflex. When she got it, she already realized that it was the ring he gave to


    Arabe.


    It’s beautiful!


    Realizing that’s it’s not hers, she quickly returned it back to Damien’s pocket but something had caught


    her eyes.


    There were small letters engraved on the ring. She didn’t want to read it as she knew it’s a love


    message of Damien to Arabe but her curiosity had gotten the way. You have to look at the ring up


    close to read the message so she slowly raised it to her eye level and squinted to see it closer.


    When she got to read the letters clearly, Lira suddenly dropped the ring on the floor again.
