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
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
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. That was how he talked to me. I felt so happy, and I just could not stop talking. My day was so beautiful. And with no time, I told him about the party and to my surprise, he ac
Susan Mark POV (Ella's mother)Even though my marriage is not a bed of roses, I made sure it will not affect my daughter Ella. She had struggled so much already. 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. “
Lucas POVSpending time with Juliet was fun but at the same time so irritating. She was talking too much, and I was starting to hate it. It was time to leave for work, and I was fearing that she will refuse to leave my house. I was planning that if she refused, then I will chase her instead. I don't want her in my home. I think she is a bad company for me. The thing that irritated me the most is when she asked about my live life. She made me start thinking about Ella and how she betrayed my love for her. It still hurts so much. I feel like running away from myself right now so that I could evade feeling the hurt I was feeling right now.“Are you done already. I am going to close my house now.” I said while getting outside my bedroom. She was there staring at me like someone who had seen a ghost. She was so pretty but very talkative. I didn't know what had happened to her now until she was so quiet.“What?” I said to her. “Nothing. I am ready. You don't have to chase me out of your
Ella's POVI felt like my mind was exploding when mother called me and informed me that Laura was nowhere to be seen. We search everywhere for her, and I am about to give up when mother comes up with an idea about Luca and I decide to call him. My mind relaxes when Luca informs that she was with my daughter at the restaurant. I quickly rushed to the restaurant and I allowed my mother to go home. She was already stressed out about this, and it was better for her to get some rest. I reach the hotel and I spot my daughter. She was there eating peacefully as if nothing had happened to her. I rush to her and hug her so tightly. The thought of me losing her had hit me so hard. I will now be extra careful with her.“Baby, why did you leave home without anyone's concert?” I asked her after I had released her from my chest.“I am sorry, mother. I had come here to look for Uncle Luca. He has not come to see me and I miss him.” She says, and I feel so sorry for her. She saw Luca as her dad and
Luca's POVI get home feeling exhausted but happy. Today I saw Ella and my precious Laura. I will never forget this moment. I know now Ella will give me permission to spend time with Laura. I hope it happens that way. I was in a good mood today. So, I decided to treat myself by cooking a good meal since it was still early. After I am done, I sit at my dining table and I start enjoying my meal. The heartbreak I was feeling has subsided a bit. I had accepted my fate that Ella and I will never be together, but the good part is that my bond with Laura will never break.I am about to take a bite of my food when my phone starts ringing. My heart hoped that it was Ella that was calling but when I checked my phone it wasn't her but Juliet. I wonder why she was calling at this hour. It was so late already for her to be calling me.Me – Juliet. Why are you calling me at this hour?Juliet – just relax, handsome. There is no need to get angry over a silly matter. Anyway, how are you?Me – I am o
Juliet's POVEver since I spent the night at Lucas house, I really cannot get him out of my mind. He meant the world to me, and I really can't wait for the day when he finally notices me. I feel like I don't want to spend any minute away from him. I love him, and I will do anything for him to start feeling the same way I do.This morning I had called him like three times, but he did not pick up my calls. This left me so heartbroken. But I don't give up. I decided to call one more time, and I was lucky that he picked it at last. I begged him until he decided to allow me to go over to his house. That was all I wanted and whatever I wanted I must get it. He was the one I badly wanted, and I will make sure to have him anytime from now.* * * * * * * * * * *I start preparing myself to go over to his house. I am so excited that I will see him today. Finally, I will be at his house again. The last time I went there, I had so much fun. I miss spending time with him. I just hope he will feel
