บท 1: Heartbroken
Eva's POV
I walked out of the grocery store carrying three bags in my hands as I walked towards the car .
I sniffed in the fresh air of Brooklyn and I thought aloud
Oh what a wonderful day with a wonderful weather
The sun is smiling
The clouds are gently moving by
I twirled around and smiled .
The driver opened the car door and I entered , he drove at lightening speed and I loved it . I looked out the window and watched as my car zoomed past the streets of Brooklyn.
Soon, the car drove into a residential and expensive looking estate , I sighed proudly.
This is where the Billionaires of New York resided .
Each mansion covered 2000-square-feet
and had expensive looks on them and my were they expensive . Every mansion in this estate costs 5.2 million dollars and there were about 50 mansions in it .
The first five houses were surely exquisite and classy
To the right was the Stansons Mansion owned by Mr Mark Stanson the number one Billionaire in the whole of New York he owned a variety of companies which I wouldn't want to list .
Then the house after it belongs to the Cliffords they were known for thier Charity Foundation which was the number one in New York .
After thiers , the next house belonged to the Sanders's the third richest family , people usually rumoured about the owner's son Miguel Sanders being in scandals with lots of popular American and European actresses, but our families who were closer knew that it was all lies.
Mrs Sanders had jokingly revealed that Miguel had never even dated any lady before .
The driver drove past the fourth and fifth mansions belonging to the Belowe's and the Levin's and stopped at the sixth house he honked and the electronic sound-activated gates opened , he drove into the mansion and parked in the spacious parking lot .
I stepped out of the car and the driver handed me the grocery bags he already retrieved from the car boot . I looked around and noticed a silver dubbed Porsche at the end of the parking lot amongst other model cars .
It's been three days and Donald already bought another one I chuckled .
He promised me Dinner tonight at his place ,I know it was just 4:34pm but I wanted to be here early. It was my first time preparing food for Donald, we always ate out but today he decided that I'd make dinner for him. When he told me that over the phone yesterday I got nervous ,not because I couldn't cook but because i was worried whether he would love my food .
Mom made me study culinary arts as she said
" It's not always servants that'd cook you know?"
She had always been on my neck anytime i tell her that Donald and I were eating out , she'd go ballistic and yell
" Gosh Eva , some one might steal your man with food !"
She hated the fact that we were eating out when I was a great cook , Donald on the other hand was a really picky eater so I decided to prepare his favorite food,
Prawn fried rice, fried chicken and omelette with Apple caramel as dessert
And that's why I went shopping, I strode to the front door with smiles on my face . I pushed open the door and in the blink of an eye my smile faded .
On the couch in the spacious living room ,lay a couple making out , the make out was heated and they were both ignorant of thier surroundings .
The bags I was carrying fell to the floor and that distracted them .
Donald turned his head towards me and a look of disbelief and shock covered his face .
I stood there as if my feet were frozen to the floor , to be honest they had and believe me I tried to move my legs I really did try but they refused to move .
Donald sprang up immediately and I saw the girl's face , I think her name was Kim? Or something , she worked at his company .
" Eva darling,it's not what you think , I can explain !"
Explain? Explain? Donald? Oh you don't need to explain anything
I said with an ugly smile on my face
I get it , sorry for disturbing you both though
I turned around and left .
It's not as if hadn't been expecting it , right from when I met Donald I didn't trust him , I may have fallen for him but I didn't trust him .
I walked home dejectedly , I was heartbroken for sure but that was something I had to put at the back of my mind , I lived alone and so I walked out of the estate , towards my own home.
I fought back the tears trying to pour out of my eyes , I wasn't gonna cry because of Donald, I haven't had anything to cry about in years so I didn't want to cry right now , I must'nt cry I swallowed .
I was still walking home when suddenly it started to rain , I smiled as I realized that I really needed to cry out my emotions and I was being given the chance , I let the tears flow , I didn't mind catching a cold. Afterall, I wouldn't die , other people were running helter skelter looking for shelter but I didn't give a dam* I would walk till I get home .
When I reached home I unlocked the door and dryly went upstairs , I had a bath , while bathing I started crying again
Donald and I had been courting for over three years and yet that was nothing?
Our families paired us together after seeing the diffrences and similarities between us
In terms of behavior we were the complete opposite of each other I was the nice one who every body liked and he was the opposite although noone hated him , they were just scared of him .
Donald had once asked me if I loved him , that was in our second year of courtship , I hadn't answered him so he told me
" Eva I love you , I'll always love you and I hope that one day you'll love me too, I'll do anything to make you happy ,I have everything and I'll give you everything just name it , I know you are yet to trust me but I'll fight for your trust and I'll win it all in a matter of time."
Jerk , Fool , Bast**d I cursed quietly, where is the love then? You were just fooling me and I kept falling for it , you took my first kiss and I'll hate you for that no scratch that I already hate you for that.
I stayed in the shower about an hour more before coming out , I felt much better after letting go of my emotions I dressed up and decided to pay Bethel my baby a visit
She was my bestie since middle school and we sure were inseparable .
