Luca’s Inferno by Karima Sa’ad Usman

Chapter 2

 

 

 

Emma. 

Still going through the motions, I stayed fixed, staring at the invite. This was cruelty. Why would Tomas do this to me? I did not deserve this kind of treatment. I had been nothing but kind to him. I never asked for much. I gave him his respect regardless, and I never cheated. My dreams had nothing to do with my reality. Tomas had my heart, and he broke it. Did he not value my love? Did he not think of me? Why would he do such a thing? I stared at the invite; angry and confused tears streamed down my face. I contemplated going to his house and confronting him. I was an Omega, which gave me limits, but I needed to know. Was his family forcing him to do this, or was it all him? I knew getting back with him would be impossible; the Alpha’s daughter was premium compared to me. Veronica was a beauty, an alpha breed and had the family name to back her up. I was pretty but an omega and my father had gambled us into the gutters. 

I looked at Tevin, and his eyes were filled with emotions. He felt sorry, but just like me, he was helpless. None of my family members could stand up for me even if they wanted to. We were omegas. I dried my tears and returned to my bedroom. There was no way I could make it to the interview now. I should have left home, but my heart was broken. How could I get through an interview with a broken heart? 

I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Lifting my phone, I checked the call log to be sure I hadn’t dreamt about calling Tomas. There his number was, and the call duration was registered on the phone. Then why did he not tell me what was going on? Why did he not come clean? Why make me find out like this? Looking at the invitation’s envelope, I noticed Veronica was the sender. She wanted me to know. Normally Omegas were never invited to things like this. Maybe the bachelor’s party but never the wedding. Veronica wanted me to stop communicating with Tomas, so she sent it. The invite stated that everyone that receives it must attend. There was no RSVP on it. It was a bully’s note. I was mad about it, but I couldn’t do anything. 

I got off the bed and paced about the room, wondering what might be really happening. I knew locking myself up in my room won’t solve my problem or give me closure. I decided to damn the consequences and go to Tomas. I need him to explain it to me. I knew the relationship was over, but I deserved an explanation. 

I wore my flat slippers and rushed out. I left the house with my brothers yelling at me to come back inside. They knew where I was going, and they knew what could happen. 

 

Four years of my life had to amount to something. I gave it all to him. My heart and body. I was glad I never

He did not have the decency to break up with me in person. Was it cruelty or cowardice? Whatever it was, it was wrong. I braced myself and opened the door. I walked past the anteroom to the parlour, where he was with his friends, Raymond, Grover and Tim. They were from Delta and Gamma families and seemed to be in a celebratory mood until I walked in. The room went quiet.
