Ella's POV"Roy, please stop calling me. As I've previously told you, there is no longer anything between us. So why don't you just stop?" I could hear my deep, frustrated breath as I raised my voice over the phone."Ella, I just need one more chance. After that, I'll take care of everything." His words were filled with guilt, but I couldn't ignore the fact that he had already left me twice before. It made me feel unwanted and unimportant. I had trusted him with my heart twice, only to be left with a broken one every time. It makes me feel like only I'm the one who wanted him.He didn't want to return city, which made me feel more untrusted of him. How could he expect me to give him another chance when he didn't care about how I felt?How could he guarantee that he would not leave me again if I agreed with him? Like before, when I thought he would hold my hand for my whole life, he left me without even saying reason or goodbye. Without caring how I felt at that moment? How I lose my t
Eva’s POV“What? Wedding?” “Are you serious, Eva?” Nish shouted in disbelief as I phoned her after returning to my room. “Yes, and It will be held on the first day of next month.” I could not hold my tears any longer and halted my words.“Eva, are you alright?” her tone turned worried and stressed to hear my sudden sob.“I’m not okay, Nish. I feel like I am left with nothing any longer. It’s hurting badly.” My hand squeezed my dress around my chest like everything was suffocating me. I can not help but feel pain and sorrow for myself.“Eva….” “Pull yourself together. You are doing this for your Mom.” Nish words reminded me of my reality. I’m the third person in their relationship and don’t have the right to cry for Mark. He never belonged to me at first. “Eva, are you hearing me? I apologize for saying that, but I know you are brave.” “No, Nish, you don’t need to apologize. You tell me the truth, which I need to hear now. And I swear I’ll be fine.” I wiped my tears as I blurted o
Eva's POVNEXT MORNINGMom's Bedroom"What? You are selected. It's great news, darling." Mom kissed my cheek and got a little emotional, knowing I selected on my first try. "Mom, are you happy?" "What are you saying? I'm so proud of you, Eva!" she hugged me and chuckled happily, "You are a great daughter and student. I hope you got success, just like this, in your future." 'Thank you, Mom." My eyes got moist to hear that because I no longer feel I deserve the title of a great daughter. The great-daughter never lied to her mom or had an affair with her mom's man.The tear slipped from my eyes, feeling guilty."Eva…." Mom could hear my sob and instantly released from my hug, "What happened, love." she tried to wipe my cheeks, but tears came out nonstop.'Why are you crying, sweetie. This is good news." she tried to encourage me, but I shook, "I know, it's good news. But I need to leave you, my grandparents and all my friends. I'll miss all of you there, Mom." I tried to adjust my bre
Eva’s POVMIDNIGHTI thought I’d fall asleep, but all I was doing was pacing inside my room, feeling stressed over today’s Mark behavior. He was calm in front of Mom. But how long he will, I don’t know. My nervousness gave me more stress every damn second. Until I found a minor knock coming on my door, and I instantly knew who was behind it.“Mark” I slowly walk to open the door for him. My hand reaches to hold the doorknob, but I’m unsure if talking right now will be good or worse. Finally, after giving it a long thought, I turn the doorknob and pull it open.Mark was standing all furious in front of me. “Mark, Let’s talk,” I calmly looked into his eyes, hiding all my anxiety.However, he avoided my words, walked inside, and closed the door behind him in a fast phase. I can clearly hear his heavy breath because of anger.“Mark, I know you are shocked by this news, but….”“Ah!” Before I could end my sentence, he pushed me onto the wall, caged me between his two arms, and placed th
Author's POV"You changed your decision? But why?" Ella stared at her daughter with doubt and a confused look."Mom, I just don't feel like I want to go for now. Let's talk about it after your marriage." Eva explained."Alright, as you want." Ella warmly smiles, and in return, so does Eva. Mark, who was hearing all this conversation from far from his room, silently walked out like he did not hear anything."What are mother and daughter talking about in my absence." Mark approached the seat beside Ella. Eva avoids eye contact with him. "Oh, Mark! Eva wanted more time to consider her decision to go abroad.""Is that so?" He glanced at Eva's side, but all she trying to do was avoid him."What do you think about it?" Ella asked."I think it's her life. She is an adult. Let her choose." His words made Ella nod in agreement, "Yes, you are right." Eva stood from the couch the next moment, "Mom, I need to leave. My friends were waiting for me. We planned to go watch the movie." "Okay, h
Eva's POVI don't remember how I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I found Mom entering my room with lemon water in her hand."Good morning, sweetheart." She warmly greeted me as she placed the lemon water on the table beside the bed."Good morning, Mom." Removing the blanket, I sat back while a headache continued."This is lemon water. It will help you with your headache." "Thanks, Mom, but how do you know? I need that." I doubt Mark told Mom about that, but the next moment, Mom's reply got me wrong, "Mark informed me this morning when I asked when you were back." I see, he told her."Yeah, My evil friends made me drink a little bit." I sarcastically answered, which caught my Mom's laugh, "I guess so.""But I'm glad you're back home rightly." "Yesterday, I wanted to stay awake until you got back, but Mark told me he needed to do some work so he could open the door for you. So, only then, I fall back to sleep." "Yeah, my friends dropped me back, so I got no worry to back." "Alrigh
Eva’s POVThe next day, Mark and Mom went to the court and filled out the form to get registered for next month on the same date. On the other side, I decided to choose the same date to go abroad without telling anyone. I booked my ticket and felt quivering. I know my decision hurt Mark, but I also don’t feel happy about it. I’m also equally hurt here. Whenever I see Mom and him together, I feel betrayed when I know my feelings are the wrong ones here. I’m the third person in their relationship. I don’t have the right to be sad about something like this, and whenever this bitter thought crossed my mind, I could not help but feel heartbreaking about it. I feel I’m not different from my ex. I had done the same thing as them. I betrayed someone whom I see as my world ‘Mom’.Mom is an innocent one here who did not do anything to get hurt by her daughter and her boyfriend. How could I make one more big mistake to hold my love and break her heart in exchange? “Hey, are you okay?” Nish
Eva’s POV“Oh, come on, Eva!""You are leaving the city in the last two days. Still, how could you not discuss these things with your Mom until now?” I could sense the rage below her words when she yelled at me. “I know! I know! you are worried about Mark’s strong warning to tell your Mom everything, but now it has been over a month, and he did not tell anything to your Mom, and most importantly, he did not reach you or try to talk to you again. can't you understand what it could mean?"Her words made me feel lost at this moment."Eva, He is going out with your mother and planning his future in which you do not exist anymore. Do you understand?” " You should also stop caring about your past things and just talk about the real thing with your Mom. "He is moving on from you, as you wish. So, you should also stop dwelling on your past and start talking about the present. You should tell your mother about your leaving. She is your mother and deserves to know what you are up to! " The
