THE REJECTION Where is Uncle Luca?
Ella's POV,Maybe I have chased him away from our lives forever this time. I wiped away a tear that was coming out of my eyes as I watched him walk away. I just stood there until he had vanished from my eyes. I cannot believe I was so cold to him. So heartless. But I just could not continue doing that to him. Him being here by my side always, and yet, I felt nothing for him was just not right. It was better when I told him the truth. It is better for him to go and start his new life away from us. I will be fine without him. “Laura, let's go inside my baby.” I say as I wake her up. This whole time she had been sleeping, and it was a good thing because she did not hear us arguing with each other. “Has uncle Luca left already.” She asks me.“Yes baby. It is late, so let's go inside now.” I say as I direct her inside the house. I hated when she asked me so many questions. She was always a curious little girl and she just needed me to answer all of them, but today. I just hoped she had n
THE REJECTION The sadness
Ella's POVI open my eyes, and it is morning already, and I admit it has been a hell of a night for me. I don't want to think about Luca right now because I know I have hurt him a great deal, but I cannot also deny that I terribly miss him right now. He has been my pillar of strength these five years, and I was really used to him. The problem started when he started developing feelings for me. I did not believe when someone told me he loved me, as I had lost all hope in love. It irritated me so much, and hated the word 'love'. But all in all, I miss him terribly. I want to see him, but I just control myself. I am in bed and I check my phone. Usually, Luca would always send me a good morning text each morning. But today there was no text from him, I can't help but feel so sad and lonely. I don't know how I will cope without him by my side. All I needed from him was his friendship and support, but he wanted more, and I just could not give that to him.I really didn't want to wake up
THE REJECTION Noticing Juliet
Luca POV.I wake up feeling so exhausted. I don't feel like going to work today. Likewise, I looked at my cell phone and only one hour remained to prepare myself. I feel so weak and dull. The heartbreak that Ella gave me was so terrible. I miss her and I want to text her so badly. These five years that I have spent with her. I texted her every single morning. Today, I struggle not to text her, since we don't have anything going on between us anymore. She had made it so clear to me that she no longer needs me in her life and that is what I am going to do, to stay as far away from her. I prepare myself in a very slow manner. I decided to eat at the restaurant since time was not on my side anymore. I check myself in the mirror before leaving. My eyes were swollen. Clearly someone could notice I had a terrible night. “Good morning, Luca. What is that look? It looks like you haven't slept at all.” I hear Juliet saying to me. She was very talkative here at work and made the place very li
THE REJECTION Missing the past
Sarah's POV“She is a whore, that is why she decided to dirty the office with her lover. Shameless woman.” I hear women at the office discussing me. I just needed to be firm and simply stay quiet. There was no need to reply to their words because what they were saying was true and there was evidence for that.It seems like someone was spying on me. I guess the moment Felix had texted me and when I left, the person followed me from behind and that is where he started recording what was happening between me and Felix. I must find out who did this to me. The person who recorded the video has spoiled my life completely.I go over to my workstation and I start parking my things. I could not hold the tears in my eyes anymore. I let them flow out of my eyes like a flooded stream. I never thought that this day would ever come. I was so much in love with my work, and it was really hard for me to just leave like that.“Sorry girlfriend.” I hear some of the people who sincerely loved me say to m
THE REJECTION After the party
Luca POVJuliet was on her way here. It is funny because in these five years that I have known Ella. There is no day she came to my place. So, it felt awkward that a girl was coming to my house today. I got ready and waited for her to come. Even though I did not feel like going anywhere, but I think it will be good for me. I needed some fresh air and Juliet will help me get it. I waited for some minutes before hearing a knock on my door. I went and opened it and there she was, looking beautiful as ever. How come I never noticed her?“Come in.” I say to her as I allow her inside the house. “Thank you. Your house is so pretty.” She says.“Really. I think it's the worst. But anyway, thank you.” I say to her.“Yeah, I mean that. What are we waiting for. Let's go.” She says, and I agree. Time was not our side anymore.The club was not very far from where I lived, so we decided to walk instead of wasting money on transport. We were both low-class people, and we knew the value of money any
THE REJECTION Awful thought
Ella's POVThe day was so dull for me today. I felt I was suffocating from within me and I hated this feeling. I am at work, though I feel like not being here right now. I check my phone, and it's almost time for Laura to get out of school. I decide to go pick her up instead of being dropped at the house by the school bus.I reach the school and I start waiting in my car. In a few minutes, I saw children coming out, and I got out of my car, so Laura could easily see me.“Mommy. You came for me.” She says as she came rushing towards me. I open my arms so I can hug her. She looked so happy, and I was glad I came for her. A smile on her face was something so precious to me.“Yes baby. I miss my sweet baby so much.” I say to her.“I miss you too, mummy.” She says.“Let's go then. Do you want ice cream? We can pass over the ice cream shop before heading home.” I say to her.“Yes mummy. I want ice cream. But uncle Luca is not here. He has not come right?" She asks.“He called me earlier, ba
THE REJECTION At Luca's house
Juliet's POVI cannot forget the day I got a job at this restaurant here. That was the same day I met Luca. The man of my dreams. He was handsome, and had all the features I desired in a man. The only problem is that he never noticed me. Not even once. It broke my heart. I tried so many times, so he could notice me, but all my efforts failed because he never even looked at me.* * * * * * * * * * * * Today I don't know what happened to him because he decided to talk to me. I remember back then when I tried talking to him, he would normally ignore me or tell me 'it's work time'. This word he said so many times until I was used to it. Anyway, I had to respect myself am I stopped talking to him. But today I just could not control myself when I saw him walk inside the restaurant looking so dull and swollen face.

And there was no way I will tell her about my struggles.Even though she had asked so much about the reason for my sadness, I told her only the shallow part of the story. I could not tell him that the man she knew as her dad had become a drunkard. And that everyday he comes home very late being so intoxicated. I don't know what was the problem with him. It was so hard to believe that the man I loved with all my heart had changed so much. Not so long ago, we were so happy with each other, but not anymore. I was so sad because of all this. I prayed that he would change soon, and it looks like my prayers were answered because he stopped coming home drunk, but the issue was he was still coming home late. This behavior was really getting into my nerves and I could not stop myself anymore from questioning his latest character. “
