Chapter 7

The look in his eyes got deem.

He looked very scared and uncomfortable about the knock.

Erica was thrown into deeper confusion, she could see his hands shaking.

"Are you okay Liam?" She asked staring at him.

Erica was getting tired of the whole situation, her silence was beginning to choke.

Something was definitely going on with her man yet he wanted her to keep mute about it.

He pointed at her "I am okay Erica, just stay right here while I check who is at the door."

The knock came again...

"Did you hear me?" He asked in a hasty voice scaring the living daylight out of her.

She nodded abruptly looking very disturbed as she watched him leave.

Erica quietly sat on the bed looking very confused, she couldn't press a finger on whatever is going on but whatever it was, shw needed to find out and help her man out.

The once sweet Liam she knew have suddenly turned into something else today, something was making him so uneasy and whatever it is, it definitely wasn't good at all.

She reached for her handbag and took out her phone.

Erica started playing a mobile game on it, this was one way she keeps herself and mind busy whenever she feels very worried.

For ten minutes she was been in the bedroom and she was unaware of the whereabout of Liam.

Erica stopped playing the game and threw her phone into her bag.

She yawned stretching her body

She stood up and moved over to where the bottle of champagne was.

Erica opened it and poured in a full glass of champagne into it and gulped it down her dry throat.

She took a deep breath wearing a half smile on her lips "tastes so good..."

She dropped the glass cup moving closer to the door.

Her eyes fluttered when she realized she was hearing voices coming from the living room and not just Liam's voice.

On a second thought she remembered that Liam had asked her not to come out, but she was curious and wanted to know what was going on.

She left her bag in the room and tip toe to the living room and what she saw blew her into the dark giving her no room for an escape.

For a second her heart stopped beating, her hands and feet shook as tears slowly soaked her face.

"Liam!!!" She yelled in tears.

He turned around looking shocked to see her.

Erica couldn't believe her eyes.

Her so called sweet boyfriend who she believed was crazy about her, who she thought loved her as much as she loved him was busy kissing another woman in the living room leaving her in his bedroom.

He was cheating on her, Erica felt her whole body vibrating at that moment.

She wanted someone to wake her up from that bad dream.

She could feel her forehead burning, this was the last thing she could ever imagine or expect from her boyfriend, she couldn't understand any of it.

He stood up at once looking lost.

The lady stared at them, she stood up to her feet adjusting her clothes.

"Liam who is this whore?" The lady asked in the rudest tone Erica have ever heard.

Erica gasped in shock "what???"

Liam was speechless running his hands through his head nervously.

"How dare you call me a whore?" Erica cried out in anger moving forward to attack the dark haired lady.

She was dressed in a black skimpy dress which worked well for her fair skin.

Liam blocked her at once.

"Stop it Erica!" He cried out.

Her eyes widened "Liam what is the meaning of this? Who is she?"

He shurrged "she is my fiancée."

Erica stepped backwards shaking her head.

"You're joking aren't you?" She asked looking confused.

She looked away as her eyes fluttered.

The boldness with which he called the lady his fiancée was what she couldn't fanthom.

It was enough that he was cheating on  her with another woman but telling her that the lady was his fiancée was something she would definitely  not be able to go down with.

"Tell me you're joking Liam!" She yelled.

"I'm not, he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a ring.

It had a diamond stone at the middle as the rest of the body was covered in gold, it looked very beautiful, Erica knew how perfect it would look on her finger.

The lady's eyes widened in amazement as she jumped for joy.

"Really??? You want me to marry you?" She asked happily.

He nodded "yes baby... I want you to marry me."

Erica swallowed hard.

"He just called her baby, the same thing he calls me me, Liam is just a good womanizer, why didn't I see this coming?" She thought.

She shut my eyes.

"I have been played again, I have been taken for a fool again" she muttered.

Erica couldn't believe that after what happened to her in the past, she allowed herself to get played by some silly womanizer who she believed was her ideal man.

"All those decorations in there, it was for her... I want to propose to her today" he said as his hands shook.

Erica was dragged out of my thoughts my his last words.

Her face went completely white and pale.

She broke down in tears.

"What have you been doing with me all these while? Playing me?" She asked in anger.

The lady scoffed turning to Liam "were you cheating on me with this thing?"

The way she kept her finger pointed at Erica got her so irritated.

She gave Erica a murderous glare that made her heart pound with so much anger in her chest.

Liam turned to her "no... no... I'm not, she is the one forcing herself one."

"What a bitch..." the lady hissed.

Erica got even more shocked.

She couldn't believe that all these while she had thought thru shared something unique and beautiful, Liam felt she was forcing herself on him.

"What??? Liam how dare you do this to me?" Erica yelled.

Liam swallowed hard "Erica you and I were never going to be together, you were the one always forcing yourself on me, you're notmy type of woman."

She looked away, she felt so weak and exhausted at that moment.

The whole room turned hot for her.

She took a deep breath trying to understand if Liam was actually telling the truth about their relationship.

"Was I actually the one forcing myself on him all these while without he asking me out?" She thought.

She shook my head at once, none of that was true.

The asshole was only trying to lie his way through.

Liam dragged her by the arm "you need to leave my house this minute."

Erica snatched her hand off his grip at once with that confused look heavy on my her face.

She slapped him.

She couldn't control the rage boiling within her.

"How dare you slap my man?" The girl yelled trying to fight Erica

Liam held her at once.

Erica was ready to fight, she was so sure that she would beat the bitch into a plum.

She shut my eyes for a while then moved away into his room to get her bag and leave his house and life for good.

She threw her bag on her shoulder taking a glance around the room.

This was a place where they made love and had lots of memories, it was a place where they made promises to each other while they slept in each other's arms.

"My life is indeed a complete mess, I guess I am totally unlucky with love, perhaps people like me was never meant to love or be loved by any man or anyone" she said and broke down on tears.

She sniffled.

The only person that had truly loved Erica was he4 father and bestfriend Sarah, though she is yet to know her sister better.

"Get your crazy self out of my house Erica!" She heard his voice yell from the living room.

"That bastard! All along he has just being using me for his own selfish reasons" she said in anger.

She ran her hands through her hair.

"I never realized that I was a side chicK all along and he has someone he has planned to propose to, I feel so stupid" she mumbled.

Erica felt totally miserable at that moment.

Her legs have grown too heavy for her to lift as tears didn't stop finding it's way down her cold face.

"Get out Erica!" She heard his voice yell again.

She scampered out of his room heading for the living room.

"Get your stupid self out of here crazy bitch or I will kick you out myself!" The lady yelled on top of her voice trying to fight her way through Liam, to beat Erica up.

Erica glared at her.

"Like... what do you even think you are!" She screamed at her.

The lady hissed folding her arms.

"It's not your fault anyways, I am the one who foolishly fell in love and allowed my self get used and dumped by this asshole" s

Erica cried out.

"Do I have any words for Liam before I leave?" She thought shutting my eyes.

Of course she does, a million of them were going through her head at that moment, she wanted to tell him how much she hated him and how stupid of an animal he was.

She just wanted to vent her anger on him and curse him all day long but... none of that would change anything.

He is going to propose to the lady after all, that leaves her looking like the fool her exs has always taken her to be.

"Are you deaf or something? Why is she still standing there?" The lady screamed.

She grabbed the throw pillow from the couch and threw it her way.

Erica dodged it at once, her anger increased.

"Have you lost your mind or something?" She cried out.

"Erica just leave already" Liam said.
