CHAPTER TWO

Mia stood there with her mouth aghast, stunned at the words of Liam. “ Did she just hear him refer to her as his house help” she wondered. Liam saw that she was not following and came back to drag her out while the people looked at them, mocking her.

“I guessed she wanted to have an experience of how people in our class party.” She heard someone say, while the crowd laughed at her as Liam dragged her out like a disobedient child who needed to be punished for a crime.

“What are you doing here Mia?” Who gave you this address? Why are you here to embarrass me? Liam shouted at her. He had dragged her to a corner of the hall, far from the people at the party, so they wouldn't hear what they were saying.

Just take a look inside, Mia; He said, pointing to the hall full of people dancing and chattering. “What do you see? Do you see anyone in the hall dressed cheaply like you? Even the hotel waiters and waitresses looked more classy than you.

Mia looked at the people dancing: women dressed in beautiful, attractive clothes, men dressed in nice tuxedos, talking to them, and some dancing with them. She looked back at Liam with tears in her eyes.

 She knows what he wants to prove but she just doesn't want to accept it. Liam, please I am sorry for the incident with the waiter. I was looking all over for you to congratulate you and give you the surprise birthday gift I got for you. I saw you and was heading your way without looking and stepped on the waiter.

I know you are angry at the damages I caused, but it hurts to hear you call me your house help among your friends and colleagues. Mia said with tears streaming down her face.

“Today just proves to me that we can't be together again Mia. “Don’t you see what I'm talking about? I belong here with these people but you don't. Just look at yourself, take a look at what you wore to a party.

 “You love this dress, Liam.”This is my best dress and you know it. I will never intentionally humiliate you. She choked on her tears and closed her eyes. You used to like me wearing this dress, you said I looked beautiful in it, that's why I wore it.

Things are no longer the same Mia. I have changed. I am now the CEO of a billion-dollar company. I now drink and dine with celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and tycoons. My life has changed, Mia, and you can't be seen with me anymore. This relationship is over, I will compensate you with a million dollars once I have gotten full access to my wealth. Liam looked at her with pity.

“Why… Liam? Why now? Is it because of these people you barely know?”Mia pointed at the people with tears streaming down her eyes. We’ve been together for three years, where were they before you became the CEO, Liam? Where were they last night when you were troubled and down, afraid of being rejected? Now you have achieved the dream we both looked forward to, instead of celebrating with me, you humiliated me by calling me your help house. Mia was heartbroken and in pain.

  

“ I know you've been there for me when I was down, I will compensate you, I promise. But I am sorry, we can't be together anymore; you are not the woman for me; we are not in the same social circle anymore. Please, stop coming to find me, I don't want my new friends to see you or know that I have ever associated with you. Please leave, he heaved a deep sigh, then turned and walked back into the hall.

Mia watched him go, and she saw him approach a beautiful blonde who looped her hand in his arm, and together, they joined another group of people. Tears trailed down her cheeks. She didn't bother to wipe them anymore as she ran away from the hotel.

She entered the car she bought for him with her last savings and sat down sobbing inside. She couldn't believe Liam would do this to her after three perfect years with him. There was no sign that he never loved her, although he hardly said the Love word to her.

She turned on the car and drove out of the hotel, with tears streaming down her eyes. She needed to go somewhere and do something that would make her forget about Liam's humiliation and betrayal. Seeing the sign of a bar close by, Mia parked the car and went inside the bar to drink.

Hey, get me a bottle of Whiskey .” Mia said to the bartender as she sat down on a stool in the bar. She wiped her tears, sobbing softly and listening to the distinct music, Liam was enjoying himself with another woman, and here she was crying over him.

The bartender brought a bottle of Whiskey with a glass cup for her. Mia drank one glass of whiskey and felt the hot gin burn the back of her throat. It tasted so good, and she took it again until she lost count of the number of bottles she had. 

Her head started tilting like it wanted to fall off; she was tipsy, and her vision was almost blurred.

“Hey darling, you’ve had too much to drink for having a bad day.” A strong, sexy, masculine voice spoke beside her; she turned her head to check out the man who came to sit beside her. 

“Hmm, you're so damn handsome. Mia looked at the handsome man, dressed in an expensive black tuxedo suit, with a shiny and expensive-looking leather shoe. His eyes were so enchanting that she felt drawn to him.

“Can I take you home when you are done staring at me?” This is not a place to leave a drunk beautiful lady like you, trust me. The stranger told her.

Mia looked around and saw the men ogling her body with lust on their faces. She was the only female there and her sexy gown made it worse. 

Mia chuckled at the handsome stranger, feeling bold as a wild thought came to her head. “I will go with you, but only if you promise to fuck me till I forget my sorrow.”
