Chapter 1

The breeze blew and brought chills. A dark skinned woman walk through the streets with a lot of expressions on her face. Her eyes were down, her curly reddish brown hair covered her face. She walk step by step like a person that could collapse at any time. Her spirits were down,she could feel nothing. All that clouded her thoughts were the images she saw in her bedroom when she got home from work. She couldn't believe her eyes. The images were disturbing and she couldn't imagine that would happen to her.

They were the closest thing she had to a family and they treated her like garbage. She could still remember what they said to each other. The words danced in her mind over and over and over again.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ",she let out an ear piercing scream in frustration. People around her were immediately alerted,but just ignored her after saying few insults.

She had done nothing wrong to hurt them. How dare they make mockery of her by rolling under the streets together. In anger,she pulled out her wedding ring and toss it away. She didn't care where it flew to,she just wanted to get rid of it. She couldn't believe it. If someone had told her that they saw her husband and best friend sleeping with each other in her bedroom,she would have pounced on the person and beat them up.

But no one told her anything. She saw it with her own eyes. The words they spoke to each other kept ringing in her head

' I love you ' her husband said to her best friend,kissing her face like a love struck idiot. Her bestie giggled and pushed his face away,and said folding her arms like a little kid

'No you don't. You like Matilda, because of her dark skin and curves.'

' What?? No no no no, darling. You know I don't like that dark skinned she-goat and her fat body. I love you and your little features." her husband said lovely, tickling her bestie.

Her bestie laughed out loud, covering her red face with her palms ' Liar! If you love me so much, Richard,why are you still with her? '

' Oh my dear Nika,I'm only with that dirty pig for her money. After I've drained all her money from our joint account,into my private account,I'll divorce her and marry you.' Richard said pouncing on her.

Their giggles echoed in Matilda's ear over and over again. She stood lost in thoughts in the middle of the street. Her fingers were in her hair as she slowly remembered their relationship in the past.

Richard and her met in college. Back then she was full of spirit and was the belle of the school. Every guy wanted to be her boyfriend ,but she only had eyes for Richard. She had always had feelings for him,but she never mustered up the courage to confess. The only person she told about her feelings for Richard back then was her bestie, Nika. She and Nika had been friends since when they were five. They met at the play ground where some kids were trying to bully Nika. Being a confident little girl, Matilda stood up for her and since then,they've been in separable. That's why Matilda told her about her crush. Nika was the only person she trusted.

Back then, Nika encourage her to tell him her feelings. They both planned the time Matilda will confess her feelings to Richard. She planned to confess at the party they were having that week,but as she remembered, Richard beat her to it. That week,she found a love poem in the middle of her text book. The poem struck her heart like a cupid arrow,and right then and there,in the middle of the hallway,she yelled ' Who wrote this?? ' holding up the poem.

Her voice caught the attention of everyone and they all waited patiently for the lucky boy to claim it.

' It was me ' upon hearing his voice, Matilda turned around and saw him standing there, with a goofy smile on his lips. She squealed like a little girl and was about running towards him, when he suddenly went down on his knees. He brought out flowers from behind him and said

' Matilda Sarah Robinson,will you be my girlfriend? '

Students around roar with cheers, including Nika,and they all chanted ' Say yes! Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!'

Matilda covered her face with her palms and screamed ' YES! '. He stood up and they both ran towards each other. They embraced each other,and the students around roared more,they started chanting again

' Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!'

Richard and Matilda didn't disappoint the crowed and kissed each other.

Looking back, Matilda was a bit confused,she didn't understand why he will cheated on her. He has always shown love to her. Taking care of her, telling her he love her.

Rain drops from the sky brought her back to reality. She lifted her face and closed her eyes, feeling every single drop on her face. She slowly parted her black pink lips and let out a tired sigh.

For some weird reason,she didn't cry. She only felt heavily in her heart. She couldn't go back to her apartment, if she did,she might go crazy. Looking around,she spotted a hotel across the street. She crossed the street and spent the night in the hotel.
