Victoria’s POV
He left me, I should have known this is too good to be true, I trusted him, I let him in, I love him and he did this to me, I know we agreed no feeling, no love but I thought we moved past that a long time ago. I saw the way he looked at me, the way he takes care of me, the way he gets jealous when any man tries to touch me or come close to me, I thought maybe he would fall in love with me but he didn’t.
I never had the chance to tell him how much I love him, I never had the chance to tell him how much he meant to me. All I could feel at this moment is anger and regret, I should have stayed away from me. My eyes were brimming with tears, I choked back a sob before calling a cab.
I got my paycheck for this week yesterday, I can afford to get a hotel for the night, tomorrow morning I will have to think of a way to find a house to live in. I don’t have enough money yet to rent out an apartment.
Throughout the ride, all I could think of is why? Why did he throw me out, maybe he has being pretending to like me, to want to be around me, different thoughts run through my head.
“Two night.” I say to receptionist before paying.
I’m glad I had my phone on me before he came, I would have slept on the streets. I know something happened to Kelvin, the blood on his cloth, his teary eyes, he had the odor of alcohol all over his body, he came in past midnight, if I didn’t speak he won’t have noticed my presence in his room after all the lights were all turned off when he came in.
He never loved you, he threw you out. He left you just like your mom did, my subconscious says.
I promised myself that night I won’t cry. I won’t cry for a man that cares less about me, I won’t cry for a man that may never love me and most importantly I won’t cry for a man because he is not worth it I lied to myself.
Kelvin is worth it, he has shown me more good than Dalton ever did for a year, he treated me the way I am supposed to be treated.
The next morning, I wake up with teary eyes. I take a quick shower and wore my clothes. I have to get something different. I glanced at the time and gasped. I have work.
I know how important work is for him, I figured after work I will visit his home and take my belongings. I still have no idea where I would live. My money won’t be sufficient to continue living in a motel and buying food everyday.
You have to get it right, my subconscious says.
I will.
I got to a store where I got a pair of place pants and a white button up shirt, the lady there was nice enough to borrow me some of her make up to cover my dark circles. I got to the office on time, I had his coffee ready before he came.
I tried to distract myself with some work but I couldn’t. I kept on glancing at the hallway waiting for him to walk in but he never did.
“Mr.Ricci.” I ask Linda.
“He is not here, I don’t think he would be coming today.” She says and I nod.
I got some work done early, since he is not around I didn’t have much to do. I postponed the meetings we had today and left.
Kelvin’s POV
I shouldn’t have asked her to leave, I shouldn’t have treated her this way, she deserves a lot better. I felt like a huge jerk when I woke up. I woke up from a pounding headache and a loud knock coming from my door, when I opened it a hand made contact with my jaw.
“Fuck” I groaned in pain.
“Where is she?.” Dean asks, he comes in with the rest of the guys.
“She left.”
“You fucking kicked her out at middle night, you know she has no place to leave, how could you do that to her?.”
“She is not my mate, what could I have done, I didn’t have much of a choice. I love her, you don’t think it’s hurts me to wake up without the warmth of her body beside me, you don’t think I feel like an asshole for treating her the way I did, you don’t think I regret the moment I asked her to leave, I can still remember the way she looked at me, and I just want a break from this grudging pain of knowing she is never going to be with me.”
“I’m sorry.” He breathed out.
“It’s not your fault, I want her here too but I can’t.” I whisper the last part. “Please just leave.” I whisper.
They gave me a hug before leaving, closing my door I walked into her closet holding one of her dresses. It had her perfume on it.
“I’m sorry love.” I whisper, I wish she was here with me, I don’t know how long I stayed in the closet.
When I opened my eyes, I glanced at the time. It was three in three afternoon. I walked out of my room with my car keys.
“Where are you going?.”
“I’m going to bring her back.” I say to Richard.
“But-“
“I don’t care, I don’t think I will ever fall in love again even if she is not my mate I will work it out. I just want her with me.” I gritted through my teeth.
They can’t stop me from leaving, I know if I find a mate I would never be able to fall in love with her because she is not Victoria.
