What's going on? my whole body is in massive pain as if have been running the whole night, scovia slowly opened her eyes, wait a second this isn't my room? where am I? Don’t tell me I ended up spending a night out! , If I remember correctly I was supposed to meet Reynolds last night, then I had a glass of soft drink, and after what happened? How did I end up in this room? As far as remember I didn't take alcohol, phone where is my phone? the moment she turned to her left side, a masculine, man was sleeping soundly, startled scovia she kicked the man away while shouting covering herself with bedcover in a panic, who are you, how did you get in my room, what did you do to me, why is my whole body in pain, please tell me nothing happened between us.

the man was speechless and at a loss for words, he couldn't tell whether the girl in front of him was just naive or stupid, therefore he couldn't bother responding

hey, say something stop looking at me Like that, it's disgusting!

the man gets up and walks away without a word

hey, where are you going? Scovia asked

didn't you have enough of last night, do you want more? the man responded sarcastically

you're shameless, your whole family is shameless, get out! said Scovia throwing a pillow at him.

then the man walked away to the bathroom

then scovia sighed a breath of relief

never mind that he took advantage of me last night but how dare he make fun of me! I hope I never see him again, she put on her clothes faster and left the room before the man in the shower could come out.

A short while he came out of the shower, scovia was long gone, on the bed there was a note left behind," I don't care about whatever might have happened between us last night, so be a good boy and don't cause trouble. I hope to never see you again."

interesting, he scoffs

He then took his mobile phone and Dial a number, find everything about this girl, I will send you her picture. then he hangs up.

on the other side,

Scovia was frustrated, thinking about what had happened the night before, even though she couldn't remember, she was certain that something had happened Between the two for sure.

scovia what did you do, how can you do this to Reynolds, it's over  What am I suppose to do now , Reynolds will never forgive me, I'm the one to be blamed ,my six years love is gone , how can I be so reckless as to get into a stranger's room, oh Scovia you're doomed. i have to come clean with Reynolds , I'll accept the consequences i can't hide it from him , no I can not do that to him .

she then hailed a cab and get in

On her way back she was Lost in thought, she couldn’t stop blaming herself. To her Reynolds was everything, she always regarded Reynolds as her first and last love, and now her love Is nearly to end , no man on earth would tolerate a girl like her, she was condemning herself.

what broke her heart the vastly was that there has never been closer physical intimacy between them for all these years they’d been dating. she had never given herself to him the closer they ever get was holding hands and kissing, and what now!

a stranger has taken everything from her, how could she forgive herself, she deserves whatever consequences she might get. what's worse she can't even seem to remember what has just happened the night before. As she was Lost in her though she didn't even realize that they were there until the driver said miss we've arrived.

Oh, I don't have cash with me, can I pay with credit she asked

sure!

she gets out of the cab

she stood outside the door for a while before she could get in the house, she was so scared and worried, most of all she was so disappointed in herself, she knew what happened wasn't fair to Reynolds, after all which man wouldn't be heartbroken to find out that their girlfriend had spent a night with other men! she sighed and then took a step closer towards the door she had to get in there no matter what to confess before Reynolds could find it out himself, she had a little hope that their relationship would be saved, she had wished that even if they were to break up at least they could still be buddies, hence she opened slowly and get in the house she was uncontrollably trembling, she was sighing evenly with every step she took, her heart was pounding rapidly as if it was going to leap out of her chest, she reached her room door nonetheless before she could Open, she was stupefied.

Betrayal

Familiar voices were coming out of her room

One of the voices was no other than Reynolds, that was normal since this was their mutual house he would come once in a while, and that's one of the reasons she decided to come here instead because she knew he would be here, but for the other voice, it was her cousin, Kallen, I don't care that she is in my house with my boyfriend, But what are they doing in my room though, what's going on here, while she was wondering about it, she heard her younger cousin laughing seductively, as she said Rey how long are we going to keep hiding our relationship? I can't take it any longer, especially whenever I see you with her displaying public affection in front of everyone.

Come on my little Kallen, stop getting jealous, you know well that it's you who I love the most, just be patient until I place my hands on her legacy, she's just dumb she doesn't even realize how much fortune her grandfather left her. Wait until it gets into my hands I will throw her, and then you will be Mrs. Cormen

but how long am I supposed to wait, do you even consider my feelings Kallen asked

the man shushed her affectionately with his finger on her lips

Just be patient she will fall at the mercy of my hands sooner or later, I've prepared her a huge present when she wakes up she will be guilty of betraying me, she will come running to me, pleading, that's when my show will start. As a good boyfriend of course, after that, I will forgive her.

Then she will live her whole life blaming herself, at that moment it won't be hard for me to get my hands on her fortune, then I'll dump her. Said Reynolds sneering

But what if she doesn't sign the papers are you going to rise someone's son until you die? And what about me? Don't underestimate my cousin she isn't as stupid as you think said Kallen

Just quit talking nonsense I know what I'm doing, hurry up and return before she Comes back, I'm sure this is the first place she will come to. Said, Reynolds

Humph, snorted Kallen, your little princess she was probably sent to hospital, speaking of which how can you send four men to rape her? She has been six years together, you're heartless, couldn't you treat her well at least considering the years you have been together? Said Kallen

you better watch your mouth not to spread any unnecessary rumors, otherwise, you know how far I can go, said Reynolds

I know it's none of my business anyway, I Don't care whether she dies or lives. I hate her conceited look as if she's looking down on everyone.

 Scovia was trembling while tears were surging down her face as rain, she didn't know if it was due to bitterness for being deceived or disappointment for trusting the wrong person

She couldn't bother staying any longer, she turned back and left.

 

She was devastated to find out that the man she had trusted and loved her whole life, would be a wolf in sheep’s clothes, it never crossed her mind that this man who has always shown her nothing but empathy and gentleness would be disgustingly brutal, his betrayal and his brutality to not even show remorse for his inhuman action made her heartache, her heart was in pain as if she were being stabbed with millions of needles.

She had blamed herself for what has happened the previous night, she was ready to do anything to make up for her mistake but what now! Furthermore, she cried her tears dry.

Not only that, but she looked lifeless when she got home, she pushed herself to her bed and fell into a slumber.

 

Reynolds was sitting on the couch, somewhat restless. He kept staring at his mobile as if he was waiting for a call

Come on! What’s taking you so long? Why aren’t you calling already crying for forgiveness, you better not run away my little fool girlfriend otherwise I will track you down.

Sure enough, she didn’t die?  No, what am I thinking right now, she couldn’t kill herself after waking up with those men, would she?

He sneered, what am I even thinking? Though she is a fool her mental resolution is strong, she can’t possibly kill herself for such a trivial matter.

Let’s not Keep guessing, I will just give her a call.

He dialed her number “The number you are calling is temporarily unavailable please try again later”

Strange she never turns off her phone, and whenever her battery is about to die she always gives me heads-up, what’s happening, I’m starting to get an uneasy feeling about it, what in the world happened to her?

Why do I even care about her now? Right, I know I haven’t got what I need, so I’ll naturally be worried, that a billion worthy of assets, by the time I lay my fingers on it my life will change drastically, and will quit living this pathetic life, I will just leave the country and go build my business empire abroad, by the time I return I will wipe out the Jones.  He was grinning which made him look even more frightening.

kick out of the last dinner with my ex-to-be.

It had been two days when Scovia finally woke up, she got out of bed, took a long bath, filled her stomach, and then turned on her cell phone.  As soon as she turned it on, it rang, it was Reynolds.  She took a deep breath and answered the call.  Hello!  Scovia, what in the world happened to you? I couldn't reach you for three days, do you know how worried I've been for the last three days, I thought something serious had happened to you. Where in the world are you? I even went to your family's house to look for you, but your family steward said you weren't home, tell me what happened.

 That's right, when Scovia came back that day she had specifically warned her attendance not to disturb her sleep no matter who was looking for her, how could she not have expected Reynolds to look for her if he didn't hear from her since she was still of use to him.

 Reynolds,

In a moment she will burst into tears and beg for forgiveness, do not worry, I will not dismiss you yet, I still need something from you. Of course, I should be a caring and understanding boyfriend, so you will feel guilty, until then I can use your guilty conscience to wrap you around my finger.

 

Yes, Scovia, tell me if something is bothering you, I will do everything I can to help you overcome it, tell me no matter what it is, I am here for you.

Scovia was taken aback by this man's pretense, yet she said in a soft and calm voice, "Reynolds, I have something to tell you, let us meet at seven in the evening, the same place we always meet."

 

Sure, I will be there at seven, do not worry Scovia, I will support you no matter what.

 

Scovia hangs up without wasting a second with his babbling.

 

 How blind I was not to see his insolence! She was Disgusted by his hypocrisy.

Claire, please pack everything but everything that belongs to Mr. Cormen I must send it back to him, I don’t want to owe him anything, it’s not appropriate to keep your ex’s gifts.

Ok miss, I will get to it right now, There isn’t much anyway give me just 10 minutes I will clear everything out.

Thanks, Claire, and also tell Zed to prepare the car I will go get a kick out of the last dinner with my ex-to-be.

Ok miss, if there’s nothing else then I will take my leave.

Ok, you can go.

Reynolds, let’s end this for once and all.

I would better get ready as well

At the restaurant, Reynolds was waiting, his imagination running wild through his head, thinking how he will manipulate scovia and make her surrender to him, he couldn’t help but grin

At that moment a fair slender tall girl entered the restaurant, she was about 5 feet and 8in

In her long tight dress, She was simply captivating.

Reynolds couldn’t help but admire her beauty, and he gradually smiled.

Scovia, you are finally here, I was afraid that you would stand me like three Days ago, speaking of which what happened that night, I am sure I saw you but when I came where you were sitting, you were long gone I even asked the bartenders, they said you left with four men, seriously the guy must have mistaken you with someone else certainly that’s not something you would do, anyway, I couldn’t help but worry.

How cunning, you deliberately brought up the last three days so that you can get the upper hand dealing with me, are you that keen to make me surrender to you? You’re practically forcing me to confess, you’re so despicable, Reynolds. She thought to herself then she smirked

Reynold didn't notice her mocking face.

By the way, what are these boxes for? It isn’t any special day, is it? And if it is I am sorry scovia I didn’t get you any present, by the way, what’s wrong with you scovia, you aren’t yourself tonight?

He was all talk as if the whole place were the property of his family, but the next moment he was thunderstruck when he heard Scovia saying

Reynolds, let’s break up!

Tell me W-wha-what did you say? Stammering

I said let’s end this relationship, to be honest, I don’t love you now nor did I in the past, I kept you because I didn't want to get lonely, so, for now, I don’t see any meaning of Keep going on to this, it’s sickening me to keep on and on lying to you, so we should better stop and go our separate ways, by the way, these boxes are all the gifts you’ve given me over the past years, I don’t think It would be appropriate to keep them with me, on contrary everything I’ve given to you, considering our six years of relationship, except for the house, you can have them or throw them away.

Scovia you are kidding, right?

No?  You aren’t? Scovia do not test my patience, say you don’t mean what you just said now.

Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done that night, do you think I am a fool? I know everything.

I know you’re scared to tell me the truth but don’t worry I will never leave you, I know you’re acting now right?

Scovia glanced at him in amusement, she sneered

Scovia, you’re a ****, you fool around with other men, and I don’t even make a fuse about it yet here you are saying that were are over? Who said I will come to terms with that, I won’t. Never, you’re my girlfriend until I get tired of you, hence before then you won’t go anywhere.

 

Scovia smirked, well said I’m your girlfriend, not your wife, second do you even have any evidence about that night, if not then stop blabbing nonsense, or else I will Sue you for slander if you have nothing else to say I’m done here, I will take my leave.

Scovia stood up take a step and leave

Reynolds was in a rage, he shouted Scovia we’re not done yet, get back here right now, while I'm still being nice to you, or else you will regret it later.

Has he gone crazy or what? How dare he talk to me like that does he thinks he is my father or what? I must have been blinded by love However she didn’t even spare him a glance she kept walking elegantly with her head up as if the man yelling behind her had nothing to do with her.

 

Reynolds picked up her mobile and dialed the number, “Our plan has failed. Change to plan b” Then he hung up.

Scovia don’t think you can get away from me that easily, I will surely make you suffer, I will do anything to get what that old man left in your hands.
