Erica walked out through the door and Liam's life forever.
"Get your stupid self out of here and don't ever come back here crazy woman, boyfriends snatched!" The lady screamed.
Liam shut the door behind Erica.
More tears crawled out of her eyes.
She could feel her heart splitting into two as she stood motionless at the hallway.
Her heart was heavy and bleeding with sadness and regret.
Erica found it very difficult to comprehend all that had just happened to her just in one day.
She turned around, her legs were shaking.
Erica couldn't believe nor digest the fact that Liam who she believed was real with her have been playing her all these while and she never knew it.
"I trusted him too much and believed everything he said, I really need to wakeup from this nightmare" she mumbled tapping her cheeks which have turned puce.
She walked over to the elevator and got in.
Erica squat to the ground and burst into tears "why me....??"
She cried her heart out hitting her hands continously behind the elevator.
She could feel her face heating up so badly but does she really care? She was totally broken.
At this point Erica only thought about death, thoughts of committing suicide started creeping into her mind, she just wanted to die, she wanted to end her life and all the pains she have lived with over the years.
"I have been hurt a lot of times by people I love and none of them ever seems to feel remorseful for what they have done" she muttered sobbing.
She nodded her head trying to console her self.
"Perhaps I am truly cursed" she thought aloud allowing her numerous tears find it's way down her jaw.
The elevator opened, she was finally down stairs.
All eyes were on me her, she was just squatting right there in the elevator with her face red as pepper.
People were standing in front of her, they needed to use the elevator.
She couldn't move, her legs seemed to have gone stiff.
The security guard walked up to the elevator at once staring surprisingly at her
"Are you okay ma'am?" He asked looking very worried.
She looked up at his face.
Tears clogged her eyes and she could barely see clearly.
"Can you please help me up?" She asked shaking.
He nodded "sure..."
He helped her up and led her out of the elevator.
All eyes seemed to her, it was totally obvious that she have been crying.
The concerned stares of people was the least of Erica's worries, she didn't seem to care neither did she try to hide the fact that she has been crying.
"What's the problem ma'am?" The security guard asked peering at her face.
She was speechless and cold as ice.
"What am I supposed to say to him?" She thought.
Erica felt it would be so shameless of her to tell the security guard what boyfriend have done to her.
She winced hitting her palm on her forehead "Like seriously? Am I still calling that asshole my boyfriend? I should give myself a bitter knock right now" she mumbled.
She twisted her mouth to the left wishing she never came to visit him, perhaps the breakup wouldn't hurt as much as it was hurting right now if he had just sent a break up text.
Seeing him kissing another woman when he knew she was in his house was the height of disrespect and she couldn't stop cursing herself for permitting him to fool her.
She scoffed in pain, wondering what wondering why how she built up the crazy mentality that she could still find true love after all that happened to her in the past.
It has always been from one heartbreak to another, she wished she had given up the on love the last time she had a heart break.
It was a tough period for her after her lady breakup, she almost jumped off the bridge because she was heartbroken, all thanks to the good Samaritans around who stopped her before she even jumped.
She crossed her hand on her chest with her eyes tightly shut wishing she had truly killed herself when she had the chance to do so.
Erica guessed that security guard noticed sge was lost cause she was yet to answer his question.
She had completely forgotten that he was still standing there.
He tapped her"ma'am are you sure you are okay?"
She was startled, turning to him with her bogging tears leaking constantly out of her eyes.
She wiped them at once staring at him.
"It's nothing, I am fine" she answered shurrging the security guard's hand off her as she walked faster than her legs could carry me.
She could feel her heart bleeding red blood, the pain was too much for her to bear alone.
Her whole body was shaking again, vibrating under the pain of the bruises that have left her heart bleeding loudly, yearning for peace.
She moved quickly to my car, her hand was on her mouth as she choked on her tears.
Erica entered into her car and shut the door.
Finally she was alone, she wanted to scream so loud and empty this heaviness that was killing her right in her chest.
Heavier than anything she have ever felt in a long time.
She could feel her emotions getting buried into anger and grief with each second that swept by.
She wanted everything to go away, she wanted to end this anguish consuming me.
Erica placed her hands on the steering and burst into tears whimpering nonstop like a child.
She shook her head in bitterness "no...no...why me? Why always me?"
"All I ever wanted was happiness, was to love and be loved, all I desired was peace, why is all that too hard for me to get?" She said.
Her phone was ringing nonstop in her bag, she ignored it at first but on a second thought, she wondered if it was Liam, perhaps he has realized his mistakes and wanted to apologize.
She quickly grabbed her phone out of her bag, her shoulders sagged with disappointment on seeing who the caller was.
She felt stupid for thinking that Liam would have a change of heart and realize that she does not deserve any of that and she truly loved him.
She scoffed picking it.
"You aren't taking my calls..." Sarah yelled.
Erica was silent.
She was afraid of speaking, she didn't want her to know she was crying.
"Why are you silent Erica?" She cried out.
"Nothing..." she mumbled beneath her breath sniffing.
She sighed "are you still hanging out with me, I am at the bar."
Erica shook her head as if Sarah was present, she forgot she was talking to her over the phone.
"You are silent again!" Sarah yelled.
"Sarah I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to be left alone" she cried out.
Erica couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Oh! My God! Erica what happened to you?" She asked.
"Sarah I am heartbroken, my heart is splitting into two" she said hanging up before she said another word.
She hit the steering over and over again until her hands were hurting.
She could feel it's itchy pain burning her hands up.
She glared at my palms, it had turned so red.
She bit hard on her lower lip, more tears swept down to her jaw as she hit the steering one more time.
"Ouch!" She cried out holding up her palm with her other hand.
Maybe she could get this pain off her chest by transferring her aggression to the steering, it seemed to be the only way but unfortunately nothing was working.
She sniffled wiping the mucus bogging down her nostrils.
Her phone started ringing again.
She picked it up taking a deep breath.
"Tell me where you are Erica or I will call your father" Sarah threatened.
Erica shut her eyes.
She didn't want her to call her father so he doesn't get worried about her, he was too old for that and Sarah knew how much Erica hated it when her father gets involved in her affairs.
She was silent.
"Are you talking or not?" Sarah asked in a kind tone.
"I'm in front of Liam's house" Erica finally said.
"Fine! I'm coming with a cab, don't drive Erica, I will meet you there " she said hanging up.
"Thank you...." Erica mumbled.
She was so sure Sarah didn't hear it but she just said it after all.
Sarah have been more than a sister, always there when she needed her or don't need her despite her busy schedule as a banker.
Erica putted the key in the ignition but on a second thought, Sarah asked that she doesn't drive.
She gently placed her head on the steering sobbing her heart out.
The clouds have gotten dark and Erica could feel cold chills on her arms and shoulder.It was in the middle of a summer season but she wondered why she was feeling like it was winter."Did I actually sleep off in my car?" She thought.She was still lost in her little though when she was distracted by a slight sound.Her eyes fluttered, they felt so heavy and weak.The tap on her glass window came again.She looked up, the fair face of her friend Sarah was looking down at her.She unlocked the car at once and stepped down.Sarah stared at her face looking dumbfounded."Erica you are a complete mess" she said on noticing that she have been crying for long.Erica leaned on her shoulder and burst into uncontrollable tears."I feel stupid Sarah..." she cried out.Sarah rubbed her back slowly making her feel like a child."Don't say that girlfriend, you aren't stupid, what ha
Sarah got very more uncomfortable with the way Erica was drinking non stop and she wouldn't stop even though she wanted her to."Allow me drink my sorrows away Sarah, my heart is hurting badly" she said in tears.Sarah snatched the last glass of wine from her table."You have had enough Erica, I didn't bring you here to get drunk, I just wanted to make you happy" she said.Erica was already tipsy.She chuckled."And you succeeded Sarah, I am happy now" she said grinning."Erica???" A lady called out walking closer to their table.Erica's eyes widened on seeing her."Joan....???" She mumbled.Sarah took a glance at Joan."Who is she?" Sarah asked.Sarah is naturally always too protective of Erica, she was always conscious of anyone who comes around her just like a mother takes care of her child and is always watchful of her.Sometimes Erica teased Sarah by calling her mother."She is my sister Sarah" Erica answered
Andrew stood outside the building, his eyes were all over the place as he anticipated the return of his daughter.He took a deep breath when he saw Erica's car drive into the compound.He ran to the car at once.Erica was staggering here and there.He gasped holding her.He glared at Joan who only smirked.Andrew led his daughter into her room and shut the door behind her.He walked into the living room and met Joan sitting down."Why do you always act like you saw a ghost each time you see me?" Joan arched her brow.He scoffed "do I?""I am your daughter, I hope you know that?" She asked."Since your mother is so good at talking, she should have told you every other thing" he said.Joan stood up "it doesn't matter if I am not biologically yours buy I grew up knowing you as my father."Andrew looked around the house hoping that Erica wasn't hearing what they were saying."You are shouti
Joan led Erica back into the room and helped her sit on her bedErica looked up at Joan's face and scoffed."You brought me home?" Erica asked sounding a little tipsy and suprised.Joan nodded sitting beside her "I did..."Erica nodded "what about Sarah?"Joan shurgged "from the look of things, Sarah seemed to be very busy with somethings at the bar, so since I am your sister.... I was in a better position to get you out of there...."Erica nodded slightly with her mind engaged in deep thoughts "I see...."Joan cleared her throat."You really want to know the truth Erica? I really don't get it" Joan saidErica still felt very weak.She rubbed her hand on her forehead "what is it that you don't get?""Why would a beautiful lady like you get drunk in a bar?" Joan asked.Erica sighed "I really don't want to discuss this Joan."Joan reached out for Erica's hand, she held it rubbing her
Joan giggled."I just wanted her to feel half of the pain she made me feel years back" she said.Liam scoffed."Really? Is she that bad?" He asked.Joan shurrged "you really don't want to know do you? Meanwhile thanks a lot for a job well done.He nodded "you're welcome, I should be on my way now."Liam stands on his feet.Sarah walked into the restaurant looking around.It was a beautiful saturday morning.She gasped on seeing Joan and Liam together."What are my eyes seeing?" She arched her brow walking closer to them.Joan gaped on seeing her, she sighed."Sarah... how are you doing?" She asked feeling a little nervous.Liam looked away."You!!!" Sarah yelled pointing at Liam.Liam looked up at her, his eyes widened."What have I done?" He asked."Did you just ask me what you have done?" She screamed walking even more closer to him.People around turned to
Joan hired Liam months back to make Erica fall in love with her, date her and break her heart after wards.Everything was completely staged including the proposal, Joan did this just to make Erica feel bad.For years she have been in town monitoring her father and sister just to know what their life have been like and she decided to strike just to make Erica feel terrible.Joan went back striaght to her Andrew's house.She parked the car with alot of thoughts running through her mind.She took a deep breath before switching off the engine of the car.Joan stepped out of the car looking a little lost from her environment.She walked into the living room and met Andrew sitting on the couch with a magazine covering his face.Joan stiffed a bit thinking of what his reaction might be seeing her again today.She knew that he didn't want her any where around Erica because he believed that she would be a total bad influence on Erica.Andrew
Joan shut her eyes."Have you seen what you have caused?" Sarah screamed."No you started it!" Joan screamed.Sarah felt pissed off "why am I even arguing with you? I don't know who you are, what if I tell Erica I saw you with Liam?"Joan laughed "you wouldn't dare do that.""Then watch me looser..." she turns to leave."And I would tell her how you have been dating our father" Joan threatened.Sarah was shocked.She turned around at once glaring at Joan.Joan grinned wickedly "are you surprised that I know your little dirty secret?""Who... who told you that crab?" Sarah asked."Are you calling your relationship with my father crab? Well if you must know, my father told me everything, you know why? He trusts me with secrets like this, unfortunately you are so cruel to keep such information away from Erica" Joan made faces at her.Sarah couldn't believe her ears.She moved cl
Erica and his friends had lunch at the restaurant, after wards they drove straight to the cinema to see a movie as they munched on their popcorns.They were all smiled, having long discussions as Joan and Sarah tried getting to know each other better.Sarah was still very worried.She walked into her apartment and closed the door behind.She sat on the couch with her head raised, her mind was clouded with thoughts.Suddenly her phone rang.She sighed picking up her bag from the floor.She picked her phone out and hissed on seeing who the caller was."What do you want Andrew?" She asked on picking the call.Andrew gasped on hearing her speak in such manner "are you okay Stella?"She chortled "really? are you asking me that?"Andrew rolled his eyes in amazement "Stella what is the problem?
