Chapter 3- Alina's POV

"Why are you here, Anton?" I asked angrily.

"Ouch, that's not the way to thank someone. " he said sarcastically.

"Just cut the crap already. Why are you back now?" I asked again.

"That's definitely not how my Alina was 4 years ago." He said.

"I'm not yours. And this is how I am now. All thanks to back to back betrayals from people I trusted. " I glared at him.

"I don't understand why you are being cold to me. " He asked. I could see hurt in his eyes.

'Don't melt Alina. Don't forget what he did 4 years ago. He is just like Lucas and Natasha. ' My conscience told me.

"Because I hate you, Anton Rodriguez. I don't need your help. I'll manage on my own. Just get lost." I shouted at him.

I held Natalie's hand and took her with me to the car. We drove home .

My mind is so disturbed after meeting Anton again. In the other future, I never met him again , so why is he here now? Is it because I canceled the wedding and changed the fate?

"What was that for? Why did you talk to him that way? You were so whipped for him, then suddenly you broke all ties with him. I never questioned because I thought you would tell me some day, then Lucas came into your life. Now, will you tell me why you hate him?" Natalie asked.

"I can't tell you much, Natalie. I don't want to remember all that again. But for now, just remember that he is not as simple as he looks. He is a womaniser. I loved him until I knew that he only wanted my body, not my soul. He was sleeping around with different women. " I told her, and she was so shocked.

The memories of that day still hurt me. I was heartbroken to see my first love with someone else. That day when I found Natasha and Lucas cheating on me in another future, it reminded me of that night when my heart was broken for the first time. The same feeling of betrayal.

Flashback - 4 years back

During a camp organised by our college, I decided to propose to Anton.

"Natasha, can you leave for a while. I need to talk to him alone and tell him about my feelings," I whispered to her.

"Not yet, wait till night. It will be more romantic to do it at night. We are at the camping site so the night sky would be so beautiful. You can go on a walk with him later at night and talk things out," she whispered back, and I nodded.

"What is all this whispering about? Are you hiding something from me, Alina?" Anton asked with narrowed eyes.

"Oh! It's nothing Anton, just some girls talk." I said nervously.

Me and Natasha were sharing the same tent, and Anton's tent was next to us.

Later that night, after having dinner me and Natasha were in our tent. I was so nervous about confession.

"Just go for it, Alina. You can do it. Don't be nervous. He is just in the tent next to us. Go and ask him for a walk." Natasha encouraged me.

I was about to reply to her but the loud moans were coming from the tent next to us.

"Isn't it coming from Anton's tent?" Natasha asked.

I was speechless. I moved out of our tent and walked towards Anton's tent before making any assumptions.

I was standing in front of his tant. The lights were on inside his tent, and I could see the shadow of their bodies moving together. I shut my eyes close as tears started rolling down my cheeks, and I fell on my knees. That girl was moaning Anton's name.

I don't know how long I cried there, then I saw that girl coming out of the tent while fixing her clothes. She is our classmate, Maria. She saw me and smirked at me.

"Alina, what are you doing here in front of Anton's tent? Were you expecting to spend the night with him?" she said, mocking me.

"Too bad I stole the spot already. And after getting a taste of me, I don't think he will go back to you or any of his whores ever again." She said while smirking.

"What are you talking about?" I asked with a cracked voice.

"Don't act as if you don't know Alina. Anton has slept with many of our classmates. You are also one of his sluts if I'm not wrong. But no matter if you got his body, I'll be the only one to get his heart." She said looking at me disgusted and walked away.

He had to answer a lot of questions. Before I could enter his tent, a hand held me by my arm.

Natasha was dragging me back to our tent.

"Why did you stop me?"

"I heard everything, Alina. I don't want you to be near that man anymore. He doesn't deserve your love. Not even your friendship. I don't want him to manipulate you anymore." Natasha was burning with anger.

"I need to confront him." I said.

She folded her arms in front of her chest, " Confront him? What would you ask him? Why did he sleep with the other girl when you had a crush on him? You would look like a fool confessing about your feelings after what he did."

'Was it all fake? All the love and care? Was he doing that to get my body? All he wanted was my body, not my soul.'
