Lucy’s POV

I find it difficult to sleep after watching that interview. The thought of the fact that there are people out there who hate me this much is deeply unsettling.

So I lay in bed for a few hours, tossing and turning, and fighting the urge to check social media to see if people are vilifying me on account of those two.

I’m just about to finally drift off to sleep when there’s a soft knock on the door of my hotel room. When I open the door, Nathan is standing there with a worried look on his face.

Immediately, I realize that he must have seen the interview that Amy and Austin did, and is here to check up on me.

He's still dressed in the clothes that he wore to the meeting this morning, so I know that he’s just getting back to the hotel since I left the meeting earlier that evening.

“Hey, you’re just getting back? Welcome.” I tell him, smiling to show that I'm okay, but even I know that the smile is very weak.

“Yes, I'm just getting back. I even had to cut the talk short with a

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Unsatisfied

    Diane’s POVAbout an hour or so later, I arrive at the address that my dad texted me, and stare up at the small, modest house that, in my opinion, looks fit for only peasants in total shock.What in God’s name was this man thinking? Did he stop to think about how embarrassing it would be if people in our circle found out that he sold his house and now lived in this sort of hamlet? We can't hide the truth forever, after all.Maybe this is just some elaborate prank that he and his wife are pulling to make me ‘behave,’ as he usually puts it.I'm standing on the well-manicured lawn, still debating whether I want to go in or if I should just turn around and leave, when the door opens, and his wife pokes her head through it.“We heard your car drive up, Diane. Come on in. We’ve been waiting for you.” She tells me, leaving me no choice but to follow her into the house.I step in gingerly, looking around the tiny space, which feels suffocating. I'm sure that my disdain is showing on my face,

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   An actress

    Diane’s POVAfter I manage to get my mouth closed, I unlock my phone and place a call to my dad. He doesn’t answer the call, even though I call three more times. This isn’t surprising, as he has been ignoring my calls lately.I can't believe the audacity. He’s the one who wronged me, for crying out loud, yet he’s the one with an attitude.Since he’s ignoring my call, I have no choice but to call his wife, who takes her sweet time answering the phone.Her tone is so unfriendly when she speaks, and I take a second to feel sorry for myself for the horrid way in which these two are treating me.“Diane … what do you want?” She asks. “Hey, Lauretta. I called my dad, but he didn’t answer his phone.”“What do you expect after you all but put him in the hospital with your behavior and then abandoned him. You couldn’t even be bothered to check up on him? People have cut off children like you for doing less. Pardon my saying so, but you’re a very lousy daughter. You're the only child he’s got f

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   A shocking news

    Diane's POVNathan has made such a fool out of me. He and that stupid Lucy bitch who works for him are busy gallivanting around kissing each other and acting like a couple in love, while supposedly on a business trip.The first time I saw them on television, acting all lovey-dovey, I nearly threw up, but at least I had my answer. My instincts never fail me, and they didn't fail me this time as well.I knew from the very first day I saw her that that lady was going to give me problems with Nathan, and months later, I find out that I’m right, after they both spent the past months vehemently denying that there is anything between them.Nathan is fucking her, and gladly showing her off, while he wants nothing to do with me. I still can't understand what he sees in that woman.While she's pretty enough, I guess, in my opinion, she isn't up to his standards, and I beat her hands down when it comes to beauty, yet he's so fixated on and obsessed with her.The other day, I tried to call him to

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   A weird surprise

    Nathan’s POVI’m not the type to be easily surprised by anything, but today, I am genuinely surprised ... shocked, in fact, and unable to believe my ears or my eyes, for that matter.The past few days have been pure bliss, as Lucy and I discover and rediscover each other’s bodies so many times that I've lost count.I didn’t know that I could be this insatiable sexually, but indeed I am, and I can't get enough of her. It’s great to know that Lucy feels the same way.For the first time in my life, I’m afraid to ask a woman I genuinely like to get into a serious relationship with me, because I already know what her answer is most likely going to be.What’s the point of getting into a relationship, knowing fully well that it isn't headed anywhere serious, anyway?After the discussion that Lucy and I had the other day, when she emphatically told me that she wasn’t ready to trust another man with her heart, the best thing for me to have done would have been to steer clear of her and not hav

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   An unpalatable news

    Lucy’s POV “Little Richie Rich.” He sneers in a way that is unbecoming of a thirty-five-year-old man. It’s obvious that he’s jealous of the other man, as he should be.Nathan Adams has his life together and is a thousand times more successful than Austin can ever hope to be, despite the fact that he is a good three years younger than Austin at thirty-two years old.“Yeah, the little Richie Rich, who is filthy rich and has several successful companies that are raking in even more money for him on an hourly basis. What about him?” I point out, and Austin’s scowl grows deeper, until his eyebrows are all but touching each other.“Oh, please. It wouldn’t have been possible with his daddy’s money.”I burst out laughing at this because it’s a clear-cut case of the pot calling the kettle black, and it isn’t even true, anyway.Just this afternoon, I did my research on Nathan Adams and found out that he had built his company all by himself, even though his parents are rich.He didn’t inherit h

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Reminiscing

    Amy’s POVMy mood is sour today, because I’m well and rightfully pissed. I did not fight tooth and nail for the opportunity to be interviewed, only to get the spotlight stolen from me in just a day.I had hoped that my name would be flying over all the gossip channels in the country for at least a week, so that the chances of Lucy seeing the interview would increase, and her mood would be ruined.It would serve her right for always thinking that she's superior to me, just because she's more popular among the guys. I don't think I'll ever stop resenting her. I know she didn't really want me as a friend. She would have preferred her other friend, a bitch called Amanda, whom I hated at first sight and every other time I met her.Unfortunately for her, Amanda had to travel out of the country for several years, which meant that she had to 'make do' with me.'At some point, especially after Nathan began to follow her around like a dog in heat, it even felt like I was forcing myself on her,
