Rebecca’s POVI don’t even sleep tonight. My entire mind was on Carlos, and he had switched off his phone after the last time I called him. He had not returned home, and I was worried sick. I know he might do something stupid that he will come to regret later. This was the first time I felt terrified that he might not come back to me. I don’t know how to handle being away from him after we had stayed together for such a long time.I decided to text Veronica, I thought she might help me talk to him. I know she will because I was with her when all this happened. I try to think harder about what happened that day after I had collapsed, but I have no memory of it. My mind is completely blank. I just feel that everything that man said was just lies. Maybe he was paid by someone to do that. “But who would do that kind of thing to me?” I ask myself. As far as I remember, I don’t have enemies. All I have is one friend, and that is Nica. I never had time to make new friends because I was always
Carlos’s POVI wake up, and I see someone besides me. I recognized her immediately. It was Veronica, Rebecca’s friend. I wonder how I got here, and I try to remember. I was willing to come here since I was not so drunk the previous night, but I was not thinking about the consequences of all that happened to her.I admit I have never felt so great like I felt yesterday. She was so good, even though what we did was not fair for Rebecca. I don't regret doing it. I wish for more from her. I have spent years with Rebecca, but I have never felt what I felt with Veronica.I pretended that I was not happy about what happened, but deep down I was so happy. She was beautiful, and I felt somehow lucky I was in her house today. Her house was big and her bed so comfortable. I knew she came from a rich family, that is why her life was so refined. She was a high-class girl. I cannot compare her with Rebecca.We had a little argument and in the process she confessed how she felt about me. “I want you
Nica's POVI heard my doorbell ring and I went to check who it was. It was Carlos on the door, and I was shocked to see him standing right there. I thought he had left me already and gone back to Rebecca. But I guess I was right after all. No one tastes me and just forgets about it so soon. I knew he would come back for me, and I was glad he did that.“Hey handsome, what brings you back here?” I asked him. He looked like he was shocked to see me by the reaction on his face. He said he had come to ask me something, and he had forgotten about it. I wondered what that was, but I decided to just let it be. If he asked me later, I would answer if it was necessary.I was shocked when I noticed he was carrying his suitcase. My heart raced a bit. For once, I thought he had decided to leave me. I could not just bear it, especially after what had happened between us, and I craved more. I could not afford to lose him, not after sacrificing a lot just to win his heart“Why are you carrying your su
Rebecca's POVIt has been a month since Carlos and I broke up. The break-up left me completely broken, and I don’t think I can bear it anymore. Carlos was my soul mate and my source of strength. Being without him completely devastates me. I have been so terrible and in a bad mood. I wish that I could finish the semester, so I can go home and just forget about all this for a while. At least at home I will be with my family, and it will distract me somehow.What hurts me the most is that Carlos left me for my best friend Veronica, and I know they have been living together all this time. I could not believe that Nica would do something like this to me. I had trusted her fully, and I had treated her like my sister. Only to steal my boyfriend right under my nose. I hated her and I deleted her number from my phone. She was the worst and I could never forgive her. I was stupid for trusting someone so deeply. I will not make the same stupid mistake I made. I was done with friends, especially f
Rebecca’s POVIt has been four years now since my break-up with Carlos. I admit it has been tough for me to heal, but after all these years, I think I have healed completely. I don’t love him anymore, and I was glad that the love I had for him went away. I had thought I would not manage, but I am strong. I am not the same Rebecca I was four years ago. I have changed for the better, and I believe in myself now more than ever. I am more refined and strong than ever. The naive part of me is dead and forgotten. I was now a strong, independent woman.In these four years, I was done with university already, and I had graduated. The four years in the University were the worst years of my life. I had to bear seeing Nica almost every day at school and when Carlos came to visit her I had to see both of them together. This was the worst experience of my life. My heart ached each time I saw them together, and I wished something would happen, so they would just disappear from my life for good. I w
Rebecca's POVI hear my phone beep and check it. My heart skips a bit when I noticed that the company I had gone for the interview were the ones who sent me the mail, and I decided to read it.“Hello miss Rebecca, We went through your resume, and we have decided to gladly hire you since you are fit for the job. Please report to work on Monday 15th. We will be waiting for you.With regards.”I felt like screaming with happiness after reading it. Finally, I will be working in a big office, the way I have always wanted. With the salary, I will be getting, I will be able to do my things smoothly without struggling.I feel so exited and alive. Finally, I will get the life I have always wanted, and I will buy anything I want with my money. The only problem was how I will tell my current boss that I will stop working. I guess I will break his heart since he has been so good to me. There is no day he mistreated me. He was always so good and nice to me and I felt so bad. Either way, I had t
Rebecca's POV“Here is where we normally have our lunch, Rebecca. The company always provides us with lunch, but it is allowed if you want to go outside to a nice restaurant to have your lunch. No one will ask you as long as you don't come back late.” Olivia said to me as she showed me a seat.The place was huge and it was self-service. The food was delicious too and since it was for free, there is not a chance I will leave it to go and eat elsewhere. I will not spend my money during lunchtime, and that was a good thing.“This office is good, Olivia, and I love it already.” I say while still enjoying my meal. It seems I was so hungry and I had not noticed it.“I have worked here for over three years now and I love this place. The salary never delays, and we are treated really well. The boss is good, except for his son, who is always moody. The good thing is that he doesn't come here too often.” She said to me,“Ooh! I see. Then it's a good thing if he doesn't come here too often.” I sa
Rebecca's POVOn Saturday, since we were working for half a day, we started the preparations in the afternoon. All the workers participated, and the manager was the one who was supervising. My duty was cleaning the floor, and I noticed that Olivia was given the same task as me. I was glad, I was getting along really well with her and I liked her already. I had studied her and I had seen she was a good person."Hey girl, let us hurry, so we will finish this soon and start heading home.” She said to me, Since the place was being cleaned every day, it was clean. We only had to pass our mopers over it to remove today's dust.At around 4:00 pm the place was clean, and it was already decorated. It looked beautiful, and it was ready for the party. I was glad I had participated. I felt like I fit in this place. It was the same as my previous job. All workers were united, and that is why we did all this work in just a short period of time.“Where do you live.” Olivia asked me when we were abou
