Part 3: Chapter 10

Sylvia's P. O. V

" What did you say?" I asked, but it came as a whisper. He tensed, rubbing his neck.

"I-i'm really sorry Sylvia but I have to do this." He muttered, his eyes pleading. I desperately tried to understand why he was doing it but nothing came.

" Why? What for? " I asked but was met with silence." Answer me!"

When no words came out of his mouth, I turned to Tasha.

" Does this have anything to do with you? Are you behind this?!"

" Oh come on... " She drawled, rolling her eyes. " You heard the guy. He wants to break up with you. Just leave already. " She muttered with disdain.

" Alex..." I called again, my voice breaking and my eyes brimming with tears.

" I'm sorry. I'm very sorry..." He whispered.

Tears slipped out my eyes but I quickly cleaned it off. I can't cry here. Shuddering, I took in a deep breath, running out of the apartment, followed by Alex's calls that I paid no heed to.

I should've known.
