Cheaper Seven The End of us

Emilia POV 

"Oh I'm sorry he only drinks kale smoothies after matches" I whispered to the bar attendant who lowered his head, passing me a genuine smile before walking away.

That was the rule for Darian Scott,my boyfriend who was the cynosure of all eyes which made every girl's heart leap at the rare mention of his name.

I sat down on one of the chairs which was opposite the crowd with cameras clicking in every angle ensuring I remained the center of attraction.

Goosebumps filled my tummy,my heart raced as I waited for Darian in the conference room.

Tonight was supposed to be a special night for me and Darian,my destined mate who I had been in love with ever since I won my grand slam breaking history and making an undefeatable record in ages to come.

The conference room was buzzing with guests,reporters from all sides gathered in the room who had come to witness the grand occasion of Darian Scott winning his third grand slam,a deserving award many people covet making him an inspiration for many.

‘Oh I don't know if Darian scott is lucky to have won the grand slam or to have such a loving girlfriend to be his coach” one man whispered from the crowd,his eyes filled with admiration praising my skills .

I found myself smiling back ready to share this moment with Darian .

“The world once knew me for my serve” That was the thought in my mind as I leaned against the chair ,my legs crossed eagerly waiting for my fiance.

“Now I serve Darian scott “ I muttered to myself, my heart beating wildly in my chest as cheers erupted from the crowd .

“Coach Emilia, how does it feel to help Darian Scott win his third grand slam? “ a reporter threw the question at me, sending a nervous tremor through me.

‘And Emilia you have been engaged to him for three years ,Is he ever going to seal the deal? Questions flew from every direction taking me in surprise.

I opened my mouth to answer but then I heard a loud commotion near the entrance of the hall cut me off .

“There he is” murmurs erupted from the crowd as he strode in magnificently with an intimidating presence which commanded attention.

He emerged from the shadows like a king ,each step he took was majestic with his scent filling the room which made all heads turn.

A tall blonde woman walked beside Darian ,her hands intertwined with his fingers as they walked to the stage like a loving couple.

The room erupted.

I felt my eyes widen and the air left my lungs.

My wolf,Rhea, let out a furious howl.She was hesitant about Darian in the beginning but was eventually won over.She thought he was our destined mate too.

A stern frown crossed my face,my eyes twinkling as Mila had a smug look on her face like she had been the one awarded the victory.

“Mia sparks, the current number one in women's singles” the crowd exclaimed looking more surprised than ever.

I felt my cheeks heat up with a wounded look flashing across my face.

“What's going on?” The question burned on my lips which felt like a cold dread settling heavily in my tummy.

“He brought his secret lover out in public “ whispers chimed in from the crowd piercing through my soul as I registered those words.

The air felt heavy around me as he glared at me with a thick smirk forming on his face.

“ It's no secret ,everyone knows he has been cheating on Emilia Hale”my face stretched into a scowl and the look on my face hardened.

I rolled my eyes at him as his hands were pressed against the trophy, showcasing his triumph towards the cameras before the crowd.

I sat in silence watching him showering Mila with praises as she flipped her honey colored hair.

I scowled at the two of them ,my eyes darting around them silently fuming.

Her smirk deepened as placed his hand on her waist looking up into her eyes clinging happily to his side.

She playfully smacked his shoulder , giving his shoulder a small squeeze as she glanced down at him with possessive eyes.

I could feel my entire body trembling as my brain fought to process what was happening.

The whispers felt like wildfire , my heart pounded violently against my ribs with color draining from my face.

I watched open mouthed as my entire world crumbled.

Let's just address the elephant in the room “ he blurted out ,his voice vibrating through the air like thunder.

The tone of his voice pissed me off as I raised my dark eyebrow at his words giving him a strange look.

“You all know Mia, she is my date tonight ‘’ he announced to the crowd,which made my heart jump, putting a sour taste in my mouth.

I clenched my teeth,my fists curling into fists as the words rippled through the air.

“The press conference is only for athletes and their coaches “ I reminded him but mila winked giving Darian a sly glance .

“Okay I think you can make an exception for Mia because she is the best and we all know you would do anything for the best player” Darian said and I felt my face scrunch up with disgust at his words .

“Excuse me ?” I snapped at him with disgust in my tone as those despicable words left his lips which struck me like ice slicing through my ribs and tearing my heart apart.

For a moment,I forgot to breathe.

Mila lips curled into a victorious smile as she slowly moved towards my seat.

Something cracked inside of me.

“Just take my seat babe,” Darian said, completely dismissing me.

‘Take my seat “ I gritted my teeth at her ,my voice cracking through the air as I rushed out of the room heading towards the bathroom.

The moment the door shut behind me,tears pooled heavily in my eyes.

“Stupid, you should have known “I choked out blaming myself for being gullible for hanging on to his every word.

I stared at my reflection, my spitting image as tears streamed down my cheeks.

A bitter laugh escaped my lips.

“I should have known that promises expire maybe even sooner than a career in sports “ I thought to myself feeling utterly disappointed sweeping my hands against the counter slamming the items hard onto the marble floor.

The sound echoed painfully in my ears just like my broken heart.
