Davina’s Pov:-
The words he said to me were running in my head over and over again, I couldn’t stop my tears and the pain his words erupted inside me was unbearable. I pushed the door and stepped inside. As soon as I closed the door, I burst into loud sobs while leaning my back to the door I slipped down and pulled my knees over to my chest. I sobbed while wrapping my hands around my knees and laying my forehead on them.
You ruined my life, Allen. One thing you did ended up ruining my entire life, proving how dumb and weak I am.
Why Allen? Why did I choose someone else over me? What did I do to deserve this?
I cried and cried remembering those words Arthur said, “I’m sure he might have seen you with some other man and decided to leave you!”
I loved you with all my heart, Allen, and still, you chose her and cheated on me! I have never shown any interest in men other than you. I have been loyal to you from the very start of our relationship.
Why Allen?
I sobbed and sobbed remembering our happy movements from the past. I was so blindly in love with him, I always loved to make him happy and devoted most of the time to him.
What went wrong? You were my first priority and I left my parents and family behind, just for you, Allen and yet you decided to cheat on me? WHY? Just why?
No Davina, don’t waste your tears on a loser like him! He doesn’t deserve you nor your tears! Stop crying, you are stronger than this. My subconscious said inside my head.
Yes, I have to stop crying for him. I thought and took a deep breath while wiping my tears.
“I have to leave this place right now,” I mumbled while getting up and walking towards my closet. I pulled the luggage bag out and began loading it with my clothes.
***
I walked out of my room with April’s and my luggage. I made my way to the living room with a determined look on my face. I will take her to my apartment, it will be the best place for both of us to live.
Arthur’s behaviour has proved how wrong I was about him, I actually began to think he has changed. The way he helped me in April’s matter and the change in his behaviour made me think that finally, he could see that treating me bad for what Allen did is wrong but no, he didn’t change at all.
It was my mistake to think that he could change, what was I thinking.
I walked to April and stopped in my tracks when I saw Arthur sitting beside her. His head down with his elbows on his knees and hands together. I took a deep breath and walked towards them, hearing my footsteps he raised his head and looked at me.
The look he had on his face awoke something inside me, my heart softened with his one look.
No, Davina, don’t let his looks affect you. My subconscious yelled inside my head.
I covered my face with a blank look and walked towards April, “Come on April” I said and she immediately stood up from the couch.
I took her small hand in mine and turned around, “Stop!” He said, I stopped in my tracks without turning to him.

Arthur’s Pov:-
Say something, stop her Arthur! My subconscious began yelling in my head.
But what? I asked,
Apologize! This time you fucked up real bad! Apologize to her and ask her not to leave.
Okay, I replied and took a deep breath while composing myself.
Say sorry Arthur, just one word, it’s not a big deal.
“Davina…” I opened my mouth but words weren’t coming out, I cleared my throat and tried to say sorry but the guilt inside me wasn’t allowing those words to come out.
“I-I” I stuttered while clearing my throat again,
“Fuck! What’s wrong with you? Sorry, is just a word, Why the hell are you stuttering like a kid, Arthur.” I mumbled while running my finger through my hair.
I released a breath while closing my eyes, “Don’t leave, Davina,” I said in an authoritative tone without my knowledge.
“Fuck!” I cursed under my breath.
You are supposed to ask her not to order her, Arthur! My subconscious scolded,
Yeah… Actually no, she works for me, why should I ask her, she’s mine and I’m her boss for god’s sake.
“No,” she said pulling me back to reality,
“What?” I asked in surprise,
“I said, No,” she said while turning back to face me. She had an angry look on her face but she looked very attractive when she was angry and it made it impossible for me to say something.
“Davina…” I said while tilting my head to my right side and gazing at her with a sad look, I don’t know what to say to stop her from leaving.
There was this unknown pain in my chest as if someone was squeezing it hard and the pain made my throat dry. I don’t know what’s happening to me.
She stared at me with tears rolling in her eyes, “You can’t leave like this,” I said in a weak voice. She didn’t say anything and just stared at me,
“Not until the contract ends,” I added,
Oh god! My subconscious mumbled inside my head. Her expression immediately changed into a pissed-off one and she turned around,
“Let’s go, April,” she said while walking towards the door.
I just stood there and stared at her walking out of the mansion with April, “Davina…” I whispered with a defeated look on my face.
***
It has been an hour since she left the mansion with April. I was still standing where I was when she left and kept staring at the door. I kept feeling she would come back although, in the back of my head I know she wouldn’t, my heart was not letting me believe that.
Why does it hurt so much? Why? Someday she has to leave me? We were bound by the contract for just 365 days and after that, she has to leave me.
Instead, she left now. Why do I feel this bad? Why do I feel like bringing her back? Apologize to her and request her to come back? What the fuck is wrong with me?
I sighed and sat down on the couch,
“Why Davina?” I whispered while throwing my head back and staring at the ceiling.
All of a sudden, her shy face and her beautiful smile flashed in front of my eyes. Automatically my lips moved upwards and a small smile appeared on my face.
There was innocence in her eyes, as I looked at her and it would always calm me whenever I was angry or pissed off. She would control me without my knowledge and no one, I repeat no one ever tried to calm me when I was angry but she would do it with just a look and it would always make me question my actions.
What I’m doing is right?
When she walked out of the door, I felt like someone just ripped the life out of me and it hurt me. I feel guilty and angry at myself, why did I say that to her? Why couldn’t I just ask her what they talked about? Why couldn’t I ask her, Why did she laugh with him? I should’ve asked instead of saying those stupid things to her.
I facepalmed while the things I said to her ran in my ear, “No wonder she left you,” I mumbled while staring at the floor.
“Mr. Spencer,” I heard Coop’s panicked voice and his rushed footsteps.
I looked at him with a confused expression, “What happened?” I asked, looking at his panicked expression and hurried walk.
“Miss. Ellis…” he said stopping in front of me and breathing hard, “Miss. Ellis and April-” I cut him off while standing up and grabbing his collar,
“What happened to them?” I asked in a panicked voice,
“They meet with an accident,” he said in one breath,
“What!” I yelled in shock,
