Prologue
Nik stared at Eva feeling his throat tighten with pain as the words remained stuck in it. He had promised himself years ago that he would never beg anyone again to choose him since he watched his mother leave but it didn't matter. This was Eva, he would beg, even grovel at her feet.
This was his Eva.
"Please stay," he begged, letting her see through him. He didn't need to be on his knees now, they both knew how much it took to have Nik Stavros begging.
Nik chose to be cut out from his family business and build his from scratch.
She bent her head low, her waist-length brown hair that fell like a halo around her veiled her face. He didn't need to see her face, to hear her answer. It was a low whisper but he heard it loud and clear, "I'm sorry, Nik. I can't. I just can't."
“Why can't you?” he yelled and pinched the bridge of his nose to get his emotions under control. From the corner of his eyes, he watched her toy with her fingers, and the diamond band on her right hand caught his eye. That ring was new, it was not the copper-gold one he gave her as a promise ring two years ago while having sex.
“So it's true?” He whispered slowly.
He had started hearing the rumors that Eva was seeing someone else recently, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he had been putting in long hours at the company, and they were almost going public.
“Is what true?” She asked, her doe eyes shining her bow lips jutting forward in a semi-pout and looking far ahead to the bridge.
“Don't fucking play games with me Eva, is this real?” This time he grabbed her wrist, brandishing the ring between them.
She winced from his tight grasp, and he let go of his hold, never wanting to hurt her.
This time around, he followed her gaze and noticed the car parked not too far from where he stood. He saw the man standing in front of it in his trench coat. He knew who that was. It was his arch-rival; Dominic Torreti.
“Why?” He asked again.
She shrugged, “he can take of me, Nik. He takes care of me better than you do.”
Nick shuffled back a little, feeling the weight of her rejection hit him like a ton of bricks.
She had chosen another man over him.
She chose a wealthy man over him.
He had loved her and given her his entire heart yet she chose someone else. Nik turned around wordlessly.
This is going to be the last time he will ever let a woman toy with his heart this way. With every step away from her, he felt his heart break into more pieces.
Love doesn't exist, it's a mere lie people believe in to make themselves feel good while giving the other party power over them to hurt and break them. Never again.

For Better or Buisness Chapter 147: Make up
Words are like barbs. Sometimes you don't know when they sink in and stick. The moment the ladies left the room I got out from where I was hiding and finally let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding. The secrecy from earlier between Nik and Serena and the way they were discussing them gave me an inkling that something was up. The thin lady must be an ex, or someone who was once interested in Nik, in whatever capacity I don't know. I managed to rub my wet hand over my straight hair to make sure that there was no fly always and finally stumbled out of the toilet. Just outside Serena had come to the lounge also, probably looking for me and we almost bumped into each other on my way out. “Babe,” she called out in her soft voice and I managed to croak out a smile. “You look like you have seen a ghost, are you sure you're fine?” She followed her initial question. “Hmn hmm” I nodded rapidly, and made to leave when I noticed that the men had moved to the lounge too. Serena grunted

We were seated in the car alone and the smell of alcohol and cigar coming from him just made me even more irritated. If the smell of the vices he engaged in earlier weren't any clear confirmation that he was in a foul mood, the angry set line of his mouth, and the hard way he gripped the steering was another indicator. I debated with myself for a while if going down the route of arguing with him was going to yield anything, but I couldn't shake this feeling off. “She is an old acquaintance..” He looked towards me as if trying to gauge my reaction.“I did not ask,” I fired. “But it's here isn't it, it is right here in the room with us. It is the reason you have not spoken one word to me all night.” I closed my eyes, trying to tamp down all the feelings that were raging inside me. “You know what, this shouldn’t matter, ours is a marriage of convenience anyway. You don’t have to act like you owe me certain information about the people you fraternize with” “What the fuck?” he curse

Sister?” I am sure that my confusion and irritation was obvious on my face because I don't know where this is coming from. “Yes. Sister” She smiled again, like a cheeky cat, who was just caught doing something they shouldn't be doing. “I thought you have always known?” The. Flipped her silky straight hair backwards in a smooth toss. “I mean, I know that your family left Greece when you were very young, but I'm surprised that in all our meetings so far, you don't remember me.”I quizzed my brain, trying to remember any other place I've seen her apart from the time she was with Nik's sister, and at the very first family dinner when Nik and I first went to Greece as a couple. “Do you not remember your god parents at all?” She had a sneer on her face now, probably irritated that she kept having to explain herself to me. I know I shouldn't feel this way but having her tower over me like this especially with the way Nik left with her earlier just made me feel very small. “I remember v

Nik“Eva.” The name rolled off my tongue with so much disgust and I hope she could tell how much it was that I hated her, that I still hate her. It’s a present continuous forever tense. She smiled, her bloody red lips parting to reveal pearly white teeth that could have been fangs for all I care. Because she might look the same as years ago, barely aging on the surface but she was a blood sucking demon underneath. I took great care to school my expression into a mask so that she couldn’t tell how much she affected me. “It’s been ages.” She drawled. “You have less than a minute to say what it is you want to say. Once the Valet gets here and my car is outside, best believe I’m done with this conversation.” She sighed and dropped the mask and for a split second, I could see the woman I loved underneath the Botox and layers of makeup. The woman I gave my heart to for the first time. “Nik, I’m sorry.” Her eyes watered and I’m not sure if it was to trap me again. “Me too.” I whispe

Elaine Nik stiffened beside me the moment he saw her and so did I. She had a small duffel bag at her feet, and when she got to where I was standing she made to hug me and I hugged her back loosely. “I know you haven't gotten back to me regarding what we discussed but I just couldn't stay in that
