(At the Los Angeles International Airport)

"I need a ticket to New York."

"Give me a minute, ma'am". The blonde lady says to me politely as she looks at my tear stained face with eyes full of pity.

I had tried not to cry, not to shed a tear for the hurt Tristan caused me, but my emotions got the better of me and I had broken down in tears in the taxi.

"Ma'am, the earliest flight to New York is the Volaris airlines. Will you like to book a flight, ma'am?"

I check my purse, but realized that I had left my card in that damm house in my haste to leave and besides, getting money from my account was impossible because it was a joint account. Things we did for love.

The amount in my purse which I had withdrawn the previous day will not be enough to book a VVIP class ticket.

"A ticket in business class please".

I take my boarding pass from her and rush towards the security check point. All I want is just to get as far away from this hell of a place as soon as possible.

After clearing my immigration, I head towards the nearest information panel for flight information. My teary eyes lit up as soon as they lay on the huge screen flickered with an update, red letters springing up beside the flight details.

VOLARIS AIRLINES

12:00 New York ON 997 11 13:00

Thank goodness.

I have just an hour to get out of this hell of a city. I'm seriously in need of an escape.

I look around and cannot help but notice the way people looked at me.

I need to get away for a while. I turn and see a washroom sign up ahead and move towards it.

Reaching the washroom, I enter the female section and shut the door. I turn around, and gasp as my face stares back at me from the mirror. I groan in frustration.

I look. . . . .horrible. My forehead is bleeding from the fall. My blue eyes are glistening with tears, and my fair cheeks are deeply blushed and red. I groan in frustration and slip out my phone to call Alice.

"Hey babe" I say as soon as she picks up on the other end.

"Vee, have you been crying?" She asks as soon as she hears my voice which is a bit shaky as a result of my crying minutes ago. Is it really that obvious.

"Alice, can I come and crash at your place for a few days before I figure something out?".

"Figure what out? Vee, what's happening?!"

"Please Allie. I'll explain everything to you. Right now I really need a place where I can lay my head and think."

"Alright Vee. Anything for you. But please, whatever it is, just stay calm and breath. Where are you now?"

"I am about to take the next flight to New York."

"Okay. Send me your flight details. Remember, no matter what, don't freak out. You will be fine okay?"

I let out a long breath. "Ok Al. Thank you so much for this."

"Anytime Vee. Anyway, remember to also call me when your flight arrives so I can come pick you up."

"Okay".

As soon as I end the call with Alice, a notification pops up on my phone.

Reservation at L'Cusine at 8.

" Fucking Bastard", I hiss before placing my phone back in my purse.

Looking at the mirror, I hurriedly wash my face with water. Using my handkerchief, I dried my face and applied a little powder and lip gloss, taking notice of my wounded forehead.

Taking one more look at myself in the mirror, I am satisfied with my appearance. I looked more recollected and better than I was before.

Leaving the washroom, I move to Starbucks to grab a cup of ice tea. Having a cup of coffee in my state of mind was a no no.

Taking a few steps towards the seats at the lounge near my boarding gate, someone bumps into me. I fall to the ground due to the impact, spilling the contents of my cup all over me.

"What the fuck!" I curse as I grab a hold of the jackass's Jacket who attempted to walk past me without apologizing for what he did.

Men. They think they can just walk all over a lady.

"Did you lose your manners or you had none to begin with?" I snap at him as soon as I gained my footing.

"What did you just say to me?"

"Exactly what you heard, Mr whoever you are.

The young man yanks himself out of my hold, his gray eyes lingers on me for a while before he turns and walks away.

"Jerk " I yell after him as loud as my tiny broken voice could. Who the hell does he think he is.

I stare at the mess on my clothes. God. Could my day get any worse than it is already?.

Ignoring the audience who witnessed the scene caused by Mr. arrogant and I. I walk towards the restroom to fix myself before boarding the plane.

"Passengers for Flight ON 997 from Los Angeles to New York, please proceed to gate 11 immediately". I hear the flight boarding announcement as I head towards gate 11 to get out of this hell of a place.

In the plane, I sent my flight details to Alice before switching off my phone and placing it into my bag before takeoff.

    Today is a shitty day for me. After gulping down gallons of tea, listening to bored talks and the pain of long flights, I failed to secure the kH deal simply because the finance team failed to submit an accurate budget for the project. It happened that there was a last minute addition to the budget which somehow managed not to be present in the budget that was submitted to me and not only did I utterly humiliate myself and lost the deal, I am on my way to the airport to board a plane back to New York to receive a lecture on responsibilities from my father and demeaning remarks from my brother, who had been after my position since day one."I want a meeting with the head of the finance department first thing tomorrow morning." I instruct my Sarah, secretary who has been trembling since the meeting and despite the fact that she was seating in the front seat very close to the car's cooling system, she is still sweating, despite the cool temperature of the car.I let out a frustrated sign

    New York City. I am finally in New York City.At the exit, I search for Alice in the crowd. I see her by the exit door, with wandering eyes searching for me. She waves towards me as soon as her eyes fall upon me.It's been months since I had seen my best friend Alice, although we call each other on a daily basis."Oh my God, Vee! What the hell happened to you?" Alice asks as soon as I walk over to her. Her shoulders slumps and her eyes beams with so much concern as she see me. "What on earth happened to your forehead?" "Alice, not here please."She keeps quiets and carries my suitcase when she notices the pain in my voice. I knew she had a thousand and one question to ask due to her inquisitive nature , but I was grateful for her understanding.We walk side by side towards the exit, and the world around us faded into the background. The air was thick with unspoken emotions, but we didn't need words to understand each other. Our connection had always been deeper than any conversation w

    "Do you have any idea of the problem what your irresponsibility have cost the company?". My father's voice thunders throughout the enter house.After arriving home from the airport, I have been sitting on one of the cushions in the sitting room for the past one hour listening to my father's words as he paces round the place and going on with his lecture as he always does. He and Alex were already present in my house when I returned. I make a mental note to change my passcode as soon as they leave.I keep my mouth shut because one of the things Mr Gideon hates is excuses. I couldn't even defend myself. What happened was not my fault but saying that now will be adding more fuel to the fire and I will be grateful if someone can ask my father to keep his mouth shut."He is just a child, and the load on his shoulders are much for him to handle". I turn to the direction of the voice. I know that voice very well. It belongs to my elder brother, Alex, who has made it his utmost goal to make me

    "What the hell, Vee?" Alice shrieks as she closes the laptop in front of me. "Watching your wedding videos is not healthy and you know that. Besides, why the hell do you still have those videos?"Alice's voice is loud, reprimanding me like a child. I say nothing. I feel weak. Tired. Fed up. I know Alice loves me, and I know I vowed two nights ago not to think about Tristan again.But matters of the heart is a damn bitch.I couldn't sleep for the past two night. I kept on having nightmares of Tristan and Trisha taunting me for being so stupid and blind that I had to wake up many times just to relieve my head.And now, I am bundled here on this couch. Slipping into the depression of love sickness."Vee?" Her soft voice calls."Alice," My mouth finally opens. "I. . . .I don't know, maybe watching it reminds me of how much of a failure I am when it comes to love." I say."Vee, listen to me, Tristan is a moron for leaving you for his crazy ex and honestly, you need to get your ass off that

    The words pierce my heart, scattering it into a thousand pieces. I could not breathe properly. It was just as if all the air in my lungs evaporated as those words fell out of his lips. Those lips, the same red rosy lips I love to bite and claim with mine. The lips that know exactly how to pleasure me in the right way and places.Those same lips are the same ones that have been pleasuring another body that is not mine and is spewing out these heart wrenching words.I don't understand, my brain, unable to comprehend all that was happening.I look up and stare at the eyes that once held so much love for me. The same emerald green eyes that lit up every single time it saw me, were filled with mockery. It is mocking me. Mocking my love for him."Why, Tristan?, you should be apologizing, trying to fix our marriage not end it" My hands were holding the collar of his shirt. I was shaking him and yelling like a banshee hoping that by doing so he would wake up from whatever he was in. If there
