Loyalty and Ashes

Elizabeth I lost my job. I've lost everything I worked hard for and why? Because I was trying to please him. My parents don't care as long as I marry into a wealthy family. It's always been me trying to please everyone. I can't take it anymore. I'm breaking up with him. He was on his knees about proposing to me but I plan on ending it here and humiliating him in public because I'm done putting myself at a disadvantage. I'm fed up with his whole existence. I'm fed up with being used as a tool and looked down on. I sipped on my drink trying to suppress the urge to throw up on his face.I hate him. “Elizabeth, I don't know what I'll do without you.” He said. I rolled my eyes internally. He continued.“ You've improved my life, and without you, I would fall apart.” He reached for his suit pocket. I looked around the restaurant; it was pretty crowded, and people were already peeking at us except for one man sitting at the far end of the building. I don't know why he had c

Elizabeth Her house was nice and a bit too colourful for an old lady; the bright green rug, coupled with the peach painting on the wall, gave the living room a characteristic childish look. There were so many paintings on the wall which I think her granddaughter made. I had seen the young girl and her mum a few times when she came to visit, and she brought new paintings each time she came. I stepped in as she led me to the sofa. I placed the little gift I came with on the side table while pixie rolled up on the rug close to my feet. Plastering a fake smile on my face, I reached for the box of cookies and handed it to her. " I made this as an appreciation for helping me earlier." She took it, opened it and sniffed it. She snapped it closed and adjusted her glasses."Then you should join us, your friend and Alma are making pancakes.” Alma was her house help, and why did I suddenly have an idea that she was referring to Dwain? Besides, I knew he hadn't left because his

Elizabeth I stood two blocks away from the precinct, that's how obsessed I am with stalking my new found toy. He stalked me first. I couldn't sleep last night because I saw a shadow standing not too far from my front door. I knew it was him. I was scared,I won't lie. I don't know him so my fear is justified but I won't back down. I'll face him head on. How did I get the information that he works here? Well, I've got my ways. I went through my back door yesterday to eavesdrop on their conversation. That's how I found out he was Mrs. Hamilton's grandson and that he worked at a precinct just two streets away from where I lived. But some of their conversations didn't add up. I heard a lot of weird stuff like guns ,blood, kidnapping, drugs , organs , killings , clan and some other gory things. Cops deal with that kind of shit right? so there's no big deal right ? Right ? Anyways,I've got all the time in the world, so I stood there thinking of a reasonable e

Elizabeth The only thought that ran through my head as I jogged down my street in the early hours of the morning was how to ruin Dwain's life. He called and texted me yesterday,apologizing for what he did but I didn't respond to any of it. After I left the precinct yesterday he came over to my place but I shut the doors on him. He finally left after waiting for hours and begging me to open the door. I expected to see Eren because the officer had promised to make him my bodyguard but there was no sign of him. I plan to place a call today to inquire about it. I need him around me if I'm to make him interested in me and partly because I don't feel safe around Dwain. I breathed heavily as I stopped to rest, not because I had been running for a while now but because of anger. I don't even know what I'm angry at anymore. My life? It's messed up. I continued jogging; it was still pretty dark; the only reason I started this early was because I didn't want my neighbours

Elizabeth Before I left ,I inquired about when Eren would resume his duty of guarding my house as my bodyguard and I was told to wait a few days. At least they didn't give me any negative answers. Sally was waiting for me in her car, I saw the suspicious look she gave me and braced myself for a whole round of questioning.“Soo...what's up with you and that officer?”She asked, looking at me like she wanted to see the depth of my soul.I gave her a cool look.“I don't know what you are talking about.”She laughed, not taken by my curt explanation.“Then what was that all about? The eye contest, the glare and tension between you too?” She asked, still eyeing me.“Stop getting wrong ideas; that was all nothing,” I said, looking out the window, trying my best to keep a straight face."Gosh, Liz! I know what you are doing and you better stop.”She scolded.” And what the fuck happened to your leg.” “ I fell.” I told her. She sighed and opened her mouth to speak.She would soon start ranti
