Chapter 3~ Start over

Tessa didn’t know how she got back to her apartment. The moment she opened the door, a gust of cold air hit her and she shivered.

The place she called home now felt like a strange place. It was no longer warm. Perhaps it had never been warm. It was just an illusion.

She had gone deeper into things when Aaron was just having fun with her. The moment the woman he loved showed up, he threw her away like trash.

He didn’t even have the decency to be honest with her. To him, everything can be brushed away with a few dollars. He tr*mpled on her heart and gave her money as if the money would heal her shattered heart.

Looking around the apartment, she was filled with resentment. This place was special to her. Aaron had taken her for the first time in this place. He had asked her to move in so they could spend more time together.

How could she not see it? The signs were there. Usually, if it wasn’t about sex, Aaron wouldn’t even bother with her.

Quite alright, they would order in food but they never went on dates. Thinking about it now, she realised he didn’t want to be seen with her in public for Serena’s sake.

Tessa was foolish enough to believe it was to avoid bad rumours about her that would destroy her reputation. The red flags were there. But she was blinded by love and ignored them.

Perhaps she had hope that things would change once they got married. But boy, was she wrong. Aaron had been playing with her all this while and she was none the wiser.

Anger flared up within her and she rushed to the bedroom and began to pack her clothes. Tears streamed down her face and there was a part of her that still wanted to beg him and ask him to choose her but she pushed it away.

She had already made a fool out of herself. She wouldn’t let him humiliate her twice. When she was done packing, she dropped him another text.

[I’ve left the apartment. It belongs to you and I don’t want anything that belongs to you. I’ve returned the cheques and left them with Nora. I have no use for your money, Mr Wentworth. I’ll leave the keys with the security. I never want to see you again and I wish you happiness in your marriage.]

This time, she didn’t wait for his response and immediately deleted his number.

‘I’m starting over. I may be hurt but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I’ll overcome this. I know I can,’ she said silently and left the house.
