Elizabeth

I'm breaking up with him.

He was on his knees about to propose to me but I plan on ending it here and humiliating him in public because I'm done with using him.

I'm fed up with his whole existence.

I'm fed up with his broken account plus he has a small dick.

I sipped on my drink trying to suppress the urge to throw up on his face.

“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 caught my attention but I could feel his immense aura in my bones. Just the movement of his chest as he breathed gave me goosebumps.

Now, this I like.

He looked like a city thug, a gang leader or maybe a mafia lord, and I'm into that kind of man. He had tattoos peeking out from his button-up.

I bite my lips as I trailed my eyes on those veins on his arm. He had long fingers and I couldn't help but imagine how they would feel curled up inside me or maybe wrapped around my neck.

Yeah, I'm that crazy.

He has nails, too, not fingers but long nails, and I found them insanely sexy and attractive.

He had glanced at me once; the look he gave me was so nonchalant like I was but another irrelevant human.

His eyes, I want them on me.

I watched as he sipped from his mug and ate the toast.

His tongue! I want them on my clit.

Fucking hell, I think I'm wet!

I'll probably fantasise about him fucking me tonight while I touch myself. I took in his facial features; I could only see half of his face, but that was enough for me. I'll create the other half of the picture with my head later.

Don't judge me! I'm not just a regular city girl, I'm partially insane.

“Will you be my wife ?” Felix snapped me out of my lust-filled reverie.

He was supposed to put the ring on my ring finger, but I beat him to it and picked up the ring. I brought it close to my eyes, scrutinizing it to see if the diamond on top was fake.

I've owned enough jewellery to differentiate fake diamonds from real ones, this here was fake.

He was as broke as shit!

I scoffed. “Eww … No!” Tossing the ring on the table, I walked out on him.

The restaurant turned quiet and only the sound of my heels could be heard.

I threw one glance back before pushing the door open, but I didn't see the tattooed man.

That restaurant was the same restaurant where my high school friend got her heart broken and tell you what…he was the same guy.

I just returned the favour.

My phone rang and kept ringing even as I made my way outside. I bumped into someone while trying to put my phone on DND and I almost dropped my purse.

I looked up to find a set of irritated eyes, that of the man who had given me that nasty look inside the restaurant.

For a few seconds, we just stood there with him glaring at me, his teeth grinding against each other.

The next second, he shoved me aside.

Yes, he placed his wide palm on my shoulder and shoved me roughly out of his way, then stepped past me like I was a pest.

I staggered, almost falling to my feet.

I scoffed loudly." What a piece of arrogant Jerk!"

He didn't respond or even turn around but I knew he heard me.

What should I expect from men who have tattoos and are dressed in all black?

I huffed out an angry breath and proceeded to flag down a cab while my phone kept ringing.

My supposed boyfriend or rather ex was calling, I wasn't going to answer, not yet.

I stalled for like 15 minutes before finally answering.

“ Yes?”

“ Lizzy, please, where are you? Please let's talk, I can't lose you. Is there anything I did wrong ?”

I sighed. “ I was never yours to begin with, Felix. I just used you, and now you've been dumped just like you dumped Avery.”

His voice cracked.“ That was years ago! You can't do this to me, Liz.”

“You disgust me, Felix; and you have a small dick.” And then I ended the call.

The taxi driver gave me an amused look.“ You still haven't told me where you're going.”He said grumpily.

“To Luciano Hotel.”Cold wine and a nice bath would do me some good.

“ Are you married ?”

“Nope ”

“Engaged?”

“Nope?”

“Relationship?”

“Nope”

“Then what was that about? ”

The taxi driver was nosy, but I didn't mind; this might be the last time I would see him, so there was no big deal.

“I hate good men.”

He raised a brow glancing at me through the rearview mirror.“But surely, you would get married someday right?”

“Nah …. I just told you. I hate the male species.”

“Whatever your reasons are, I know you can't keep it up forever. My wife used to hate men, too, but look at us now. You'll find someone who will change your heart someday.”

I looked out the window, I didn't think any man would be able to break through the wall I had around my heart. I had been too bad to let it happen again. I'm the way I am now because of them.

He continued. “ Not all men are trash, you know.”

I laughed.“I don't think so.”

“You just haven't come across the good ones yet.”

Good men? I'm changing my taste and going for the bad ones.

“ Well, the only good man I know is my dad.”

He took a left turn, and the hotel came into view; I had arrived at my destination.

“Don't worry, you'll meet someone who'll change your view on the male species.”

I only smiled at him.

I intend to stay for a month at least because Felix would come looking for me at my house. He would lose his mind and act rashly; he has anger issues, so for my safety, I'll be staying here.

Did I mention that this was a five-star hotel that belonged to my parents?

Happily, I walked in and was directed to my room on the top floor. The first thing I did when I got in was quickly take off my clothes and hop into the jacuzzi.

A few minutes later, the sound of my phone ringing woke me up. Sloppily, I got out of the tub and grabbed my phone.

“Yes, Dad?”

“ Where the hell are you?” He yelled.

I contemplated for a moment then replied. “Umm…in my room?”

“What's this video I'm seeing all over the internet?…do you intend to ruin my reputation ?”

I furrowed my brows, what was he talking about?

“What video are you talking about ?”

He snapped.“I'm allowing you two days to resolve whatever dispute you have with Felix and find a way to get that video down!”

And he ended the call.

I sighed.

My best guess was that the proposal video was all over the net.

Wrapping a towel around my body, I sat on the bed and opened my I*******m account.

I scrolled down the page and saw the video of Felix proposing to me.

They didn't leave out how I threw the ring at him and walked out; it wasn't just one person who posted it. Probably half the people who were at the restaurant did. Of course, there were negative comments; some were saying I was heartless, and some said I was a bitch.

This was Felix Sanchez, the city Prince that I turned down and humiliated publicly.

I scrolled further down and saw more negative comments.

- Why would she date him in the first place if she wouldn't marry him in the end?-

- it's obvious, she's a gold digger -

- I hate women like that, she's a bitch !-

- I heard she's the daughter of the owner of Luciano Hotel; she's a spoiled brat. No wonder she'll never settle down…. she'll die an old hag -

I know I'll get insults, but calling me an old hag?

They thought Felix was the victim but as always, I'm prepared for anything. Let's see what they'll say when I expose Felix.

I searched for the video and uploaded it. It was a video of Felix drinking, smoking, and lapping dancing with countless whores in a bordello.

They all criticized me over some video; let's see what they'll think of their Golden City Prince now!

In the video description, I took my time to formulate a plausible storyline that would be in my favour.

Then my eyes caught a Silhouette in the video, and I scoffed. It's that arrogant Jerk that shoved me roughly.

I hope we meet again so I can put my fork through his eyeballs.

I'll probably let him fuck me too.

Once again, don't judge me; I already choose pleasure over love.

It's safer.

  • Loyalty and Ashes    Chapter 7

    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 to see

  • Loyalty and Ashes    Chapter 06

    Eren I let my hand fall from her neck and then I dropped the gun reluctantly. I really wanted to see her writhe in fear. I wanted her to watch as I turned off the safety of the gun and pulled the trigger. I wanted to see how she'd look with blood slipping down her pretty face with a hole in her head. Fuck! I'm so pissed right now. Pissed at the woman in front of me. I had the urge to snap her neck but stopped myself. I could actually do it and bury her body somewhere no one would be able to find her but I didn't want to cause any trouble till I went back to the States. I'm just here for a temporary job ,so I should ignore any other thing not related to my work. But this woman has been on my toes. I'm not interested in pussy for now,I've got a lot on my plate. She's making things hard for me. Slowly,I turned to face Orion. She probably thinks he's my boss. I scoffed, I wouldn't be wearing this crappy uniform if I had completed the job two years ago ,now I'm back here

  • Loyalty and Ashes    Chapter 05

    Elizabeth I stood two blocks away from the precinct, that's how obsessed I am with stalking my new found toy. 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, 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,Jobless little me has got all the time in the world, so I stood there thinking of a reasonable excuse to enter the precinct. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and started walking towards the massive building. I'm about to lie to the cops. I walked into the precinct ,with drops of tears staining my cheeks. I had to hit my foot on a pav

  • Loyalty and Ashes    Chapter 04

    Elizabeth His eyes found mine, a frown settling between his brows. " You ran into my car.You are the blind one here." His voice was hoarse, so hoarse that I shivered. It was him,I had half his face imprinted in my memory since that day in the restaurant and his long nails and veiny hands confirmed it. It was him ,that cold gaze. It's surely him but why is his skin so clean? There were no tattoos on his neck or even arms. Did he conceal them? " Because I didn't see you coming, you should have hit the brakes."I retorted, still sitting flat on my butt. "Get up, you're not hurt." He then turned and walked towards his cop car. Completely ignoring helpless little me. Gritting my teeth, I yelled ." Where do you think you're going !" He ignored me, got into the car and drove off. I watched as he pulled up into Mrs. Hamilton's garage two blocks from where I was. It suddenly occurred to me that he might be Mrs. Hamilton's usual visitor who always comes three times a we

  • Loyalty and Ashes    Chapter 03

    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 ca

  • Loyalty and Ashes    Chapter 02

    Elizabeth Feeling satisfied, I went on to put on some clothes and relaxed on the bed. Just as I was about to drift off into sleep, I suddenly remembered that I had a pet. I had forgotten all about Pixy, my dear dog. I had left her at my house since the morning, and now it was 4 pm. Quickly, I rushed out of the building to the garage, forgetting that I didn't have a car. "Damn it !" I cursed. Now I had to flag down a taxi on the streets. Half an hour later, I arrived at my house and guess what? My Ex boyfriend was sitting on the stairway with his hands on his head. This was why I didn't want to come home, dealing with him was exhilarating. He raised his head when he heard footsteps approaching. He looked haggard and drunk. "Lizzy! My love."He staggered towards me, and I didn't notice the rope in his hand. Gosh! He stank! I had to cover my nose with the back of my hand."Get out of here! You're polluting the air !" He attempted to grab me, but I dodged jus
