Before I could even say a word, an unknown car stopped right beside Vampire. He quickly turned off the phone and flashed a grin before entering the car.
I stood on the footpath like a fool staring at the luxurious car as it was ignited and went away. Before it could go away, I saw a girl wearing sparkling pink colored clothes and a goggle that looked more like it cost thousands of dollars with diamonds studded on the frame.
I was stunned seeing that and millions of images flash in my eyes. Vampire would have perhaps approached someone else beside me! I turned to look at the cheap bracelet in my hand, and I had the urge to throw it away in anger. But I held back. I turned back, and started walking back home with a dark expression on my face.
My heart was filled with jealousy as I couldn’t help but imagine how Vampire must have found another author. After all, he had approached me even though both of us were married. And I believed that his actions meant that he loved me!
But what if I wasn’t the only one he approached? What if someone else was also there whom he approached for romantic and intimate purposes?
The realization made my heart sink. I stood frozen in the middle of the footpath, staring at the place where that car was there a while ago. Perhaps I wasn’t the only one whom he had stayed with that hotel in another city.
Maybe he had taken other girls to that beach too.
For some reason, my heart was filled with traces of sadness, spreading across my body. The pain in my chest increased as I started having difficult breathing. Tears poured down my cheeks, but I didn’t bother wiping them away.
What was the point of wiping them? The person who was supposed to wipe them for me never really loved me. What was the point of living now that the only warmth in my life was stolen by some rich girl with a luxurious car?
I sobbed on the spot, not moving from my place until late evening.
When I went home, it was already night. Was Lewis home yet? I felt complicated when I thought of him. I gave him divorce papers recently, and now I would see him again after that.
Did he also feel rejected like that?
But as soon as I got this thought in my head, I shrugged it off. There was in no way he would feel like I did. After all, the possibility of Lewis loving me was negative.
So I stepped inside the house after opening the door to my apartment. It was empty as usual, which means my husband wasn’t home yet.
I sighed and freshened up before sitting before the computer. Now because of what happened with Vampire, I really wasn’t hungry anymore. So I just opened the doc and started typing.
But it was more like venting out my feelings. Somehow, the female character also suffered from a heartbreak. So I didn’t have to think more about it before writing down the feelings that I felt for Vampire.
After finishing up the Chapter, I felt tears trickling down my cheeks. I wiped them as a sob escaped my throat.
Why?
Why did Vampire do that to me?! Was it fun to play with the hearts of millions of girls across the city?!
At this time, I couldn’t help but think of the time we had spent together at the beach. I remembered him smiling at me widely before offering me a bunch of flowers with a smile on his face. The smile of his was similar to the one he flashed at the girl in the luxurious car.
I couldn’t help but feel pain in my heart at this thought. Back then, he had modestly said while walking beside me on the beach, “You know, I hate rich girls.”
“Why?” I tilted my head at the sudden change of topic. I glanced at him only to find him staring at the couple on the beach far away who were arguing. I suddenly understood why he wanted to speak on this topic. I smiled at that and said, “Rich people aren’t bad. They are just too accustomed to luxury.”
“This is why I don’t like them!” Vampire sighed and turned toward me. “Promise me you will never become a rich spoiled brat after getting famous.”
I had laughed at his words back then, naively thinking that he really meant those words.
But now when I thought about this scene, I couldn’t help but have an urge to cry all over again. Were those words false? Was he just saying that to impress me at that time?
I pursed my lips and closed the file before laying back on my chair. Just when I thought of drowning myself in my sorrows, I heard the sound of lock clicking and the door suddenly opened, but I didn’t turn back.
My mood was down, and I couldn’t help but stare at the computer screen blankly.
But before I could even react, a diamond bracelet appeared before my eyes in a familiar hand. My eyes widened before 8 rubbed them constantly.
Was I imagining this in my sorrows? Why did it feel like I was suddenly seeing a diamond bracelet before my eyes?!
I instantly got up and looked at my husband who was standing awkwardly before my eyes. He scratched his head and said, “I bought this for you in the passing.”
I was still emotional due to Vampire’s behavior today, and I couldn’t help but feel touched at this action of my husband. Tears appeared in my eyes, but I didn’t blink for the fear of crying right before Lewis. That would be very embarrassing. So I pursed my lips and continued to stand there in an awkward manner.
I heard my husband sigh all of a sudden before he took my hand. I squealed. “What are you doing?”
“Shh…” Vampire said and instantly removed Vampire’s bracelet, throwing it in the dustbin. After that, he carefully clasped the diamond bracelet around my wrist and let go of me. “This looks better.”
I was stunned the entire time. I stared at the diamond bracelet for a long time before I dared to move my hands.
The bracelet earlier was given by Vampire, and at first, I had thought that he had given it to me out of love. But after seeing how he went inside with another rich girl just like that, I couldn’t help but glare at the bracelet thrown in the dustbin. I didn’t even bother picking it up because of anger.
But when I compared it with what Lewis gave me, I felt somehow relieved.
Earlier, I was determined to get divorce from my husband because of Vampire. But now when things turned around, it was Lewis who relieved my heart when my editor ended up breaking my heart. I really didn’t know what I should do about this.
I stared at Lewis for a long time before choking out a word from my mouth. “Thank you.”
Suddenly, Lewis’s shoulders relaxed as if he was also relieved seeing my reaction.
