Luca's POVWe reach the school and the parents have already arrived. It is like we were the ones who came late because some parents were already seated, and we were not entering the school hall.“Please sir, madam, come and sit over here.” I hear one of the teachers saying to us. She showed us where to sit, and we obeyed and followed her. Laura left us to join her friends. She was so happy that I had agreed to be here with her, I could tell from the way she was smiling.“The school is perfect, Ella.” I said to her to break the silence between us since the meeting had not yet started, she was so quiet it was like we were strangers and I really hated this. I could not understand why she was behaving in such a manner with me.“Yeah, I see that, Luca. That is why I chose this school for my daughter, It has good teachers too. They never disappoint when it comes to teaching.” She says, and she looks at me straight into my eyes. Our eyes meet, and I feel her love for me growing even stronge
Sarah's POVFelix is so boring. It has been five years now of us being together, but I feel like I can't continue with this relationship anymore. I don't know what I saw in him that was so good, but now the goodness is no longer there. I just don't know how to tell him that I no longer want him in my life, being with him is so suffocating.Every day, there was nothing new in our relationship. He was the most unromantic person I have ever met in my life. I regret the day I decided to be with him. I just wish he had pushed through that day because I don't think I can continue with him any longer. It is too much for me already, plus my past is haunting me. My sweet past when I was much younger. I want to go back to that life again. I feel like my past is calling me. “Come back Sarah, we miss you” I feel this sound inside of me each time I am alone in the house.Flashback.I remember months back I was at my workstation. I heard an incoming message on my phone.Felix – hey, baby.Me. — hell
Ella's POVI agree to Luca's request to have ice cream with him. I think he just wanted to help he with Laura, since he has been so curious to know about her daddy. The man who has hurt me the most in this life. I never want to meet with him again in this life. I despise him, and there is no way I will let him know we have a daughter together. Never.These past few days, Laura has been pestering me about her dad, and I don't know what to tell her anymore. She is just about to turn five years old. She is still too young for her to ask about her father. I guess I will tell her when she is much older, but not now, She is too young to understand what her dad did to me.“Let's us go Ella” I gear Luca's voice. This whole time I have stood at one point just thinking about Felix. I feel bad that my daughter is being hurt by all these. I know it is hard for her when other students in her class talk about their dads, and she has nothing, not even one memory about her dad.“Let's go.” I say as I
Luca's POVWe are at the ice cream shop and we are already done eating it.“Thank you uncle. This is the best day I have ever had.” Laura says, smiling. I was glad she was happy, that was what I always wanted from her. Her smile was the most valuable thing to me.“You are welcome, my angle. It is time to go home now. It is getting late, and we have to get you to bed early.” I say as we get out of the shop. It seemed like I had managed to make Laura forget about her dad today. I was sure she was not going to ask Ella questions about her dad today.We immediately leave and started heading home. It was a twenty-minute drive back home and I could tell Laura was exhausted because she fell asleep as soon as I started driving. This day had been really long for her.“Luca, thank you for all the things you have done for us today.” I hear Ella saying to me.“Ella, you know I can do anything for you. I love you both so much, and I consider you my family.” I find myself saying.“Luca. We have tal
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
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
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
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
