Jennifer felt her world crumbling right before her own eyes. She could not believe what her eyes were seeing. Lucy kept her word. She could see a picture of herself in bed with a stranger lying by her side. Strength left her legs and she fell on the floor. Tears broke free and began to stream down her cheeks. Her world was going in circles. What did she do to deserve a life like this? Lucy was bent on ruining her life. She grabbed her phone and dialed Lucy's line. But all the calls kept on getting declined. The response was never different. She thought of what to do. Yes! She had to go and see Lucy. Even if it meant she would go on her knees and beg Lucy till she changed her mind, she was willing to do it. She shot up to her feet and got dressed again. When she got out of the house, her eyes fell on a card on the floor. Who could have dropped that? She quickly picked it and checked. It was the cab driver. His name was on the card with a phone number attached. That was perfect. "
When Jennifer woke up, she felt a heavy pound in her head. It almost felt as if her head was going to fall off her neck. The ache threatened to split her head into equal segments. As her head kept pounding so heavily, she struggled to make any sense out of her current environment. She was in a room which she could not recognize. Where was she? She was confused. How did she did even got there. She tried to recall but she could not. She struggled and managed to get herself up to a sitting position. With her eyes still scanning the room, she tried to get out of the bed. "Argh," she muttered in pain. The ache in her head would not let her move a muscle. She remained calm for a couple of seconds and tried to process the whole event. Firstly, she went to see that witch. Secondly, she was given another round of those humiliating words from someone she called her best friend for a long time. Somehow, she found herself on the ground before losing consciousness. How did she end up in the
The question resounded through the ear canals of Jennifer. Who the heck did this dude think he was to throw such a shitty question at her? She stopped and turned to him with her eyes furrowed in anger. "What… what did you just say?" She asked. Avalon shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I don't mean to pry. But why are you going after a man that's not yours?" Jennifer felt the prick of a needle directly on her heart. What did he know about her? Absolutely nothing! He had no idea how long she had been with Donald for her to feel this broken. "You know nothing about me," she said in a very stern tone. "Don't get involved with my affairs." "That could be true. But then,this guy who knows nothing about you has saved your ass two freaking times. All I'm saying is that you should stay away from them." Jennifer's heart felt broken again and her tears rolled down her cheeks. She dabbed on it slowly and tried to get a grip of herself. There was no need for her to trade words with a commo
The next morning, Jennifer gathered the remaining pieces of herself and got ready for work. She was lucky enough that the whole hassle took place within the time frame of her leave. Had that not been the case, she would definitely have messed up entirely at work. And who knows, maybe she might have lost her job too. If that were to be the case for her, there would be no redemption at all. She stood in front of her mirror and had a final look at her corporate dress sense. A white shirt that went with a pair black pants. She went with black flat leather shoes. She simply wanted something that would not be an additional stress while she took her steps. "Hmm," she exhaled tiredly and grabbed her handbag. Just before leaving, she recalled what Avalon had said. He promised to help her out with the uploaded pictures. Well, he must have been bluffing. But even at that,a part of her prayed that it should be true. She flipped her phone and went into the online space. To her surprise, ther
Jennifer was in total shock and struggled to make a good meaning out of what her boss said to her. She was always on the good side of Mr Carol. By chance,he was not trying to say that her spot had already been taken away from her, was he? No! That would definitely not be the case here. "Good.. good morning, Sir," she managed to greet him. "I doubt if there is anything good for you this morning," he replied repulsively. Jennifer desperately hoped and prayed in her heart that it was not what she had in mind. If not, what other reason would her boss have to be giving her such a cold treatment on a fresh morning? "Sir, I don't seem to understand what you are trying to say here," she said. "Please, make me understand. What is going on?." He scoffed at her. "What don't you understand? I just said you are not longer a staff here. If you need any of our service, you can tell her and she will handle it.." Jennifer's legs suddenly became weak. She staggered back a bit and stro
A couple of weeks later, Jennifer had already moved on from her past. Not like she had a choice. Even if she didn't want to get over her past, there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. Donald was no longer his. Lucy was equally not someone she could refer to as a friend anymore let alone being called best friend. After getting fired from her place of work, it felt as if the whole world was going to crumble right on top of her. But somehow, she ended up finding her head above the water. And thanks to Avalon, life had not been as lonely as she thought it would be. They had become really good friends and were bonded already. "Jennifer!" Ms Mabel's voice called out loudly. "Yes, ma'am!" Jennifer responded almost immediately. Ms Mabel was her new boss. Owing to the scandalous act by Lucy, it was more than difficult to get any job. But somehow, she landed herself in a small restaurant where she now worked as a waitress. The salary was very meager, almost a quarter of what
"Hey, what are you saying?" Avalon asked her. "Come on, finish it up." He giggled. "You wanted to say it's all thanks to me, right? Finish it. I deserve some credits." He was talking and grinning but the lady he was talking to was completely lost. Her mind had veered off from him entirely to the people that were approaching. Lucy and Donald were holding hands and laughing as they approached the glass door. Her mind was beginning to play different tapes again. She shared many memories with him in the past. She could picture herself holding hands with him in that manner. But this time, she's not the one. Her heart seemed to have been pricked again. The wound that she thought had healed completely was becoming fresh again. Avalon was lost. He looked confused. "Jennifer, are you there? What are you looking at?" He followed her gaze to see the two approaching. They were almost at the entrance of the restaurant. Without being told, he could tell the fool called Donald who hurt so
Avalon felt the urge to interfere but he could not. This was between a boss and her employee. Any spontaneous reaction from him could get Jennifer fired from the place she felt she had started getting used to. "Are you stupid?!" The lady yelled at Jennifer. "How can you insult someone like Donald? Are you not aware he's supposed to be given the treatment of a VIP? Damn you, cheap thing!" Lucy giggled. "Are you just getting to know about this whore?" Ms Mabel looked at her, confused. "Whore? What do you mean? My employee isn't a whore." Lucy grinned. "Hold on a second. You accepted this bitch without really knowing what she's capable of." "Please, make me understand," she said politely. Lucy walked around Jennifer with a taunting chuckle. "This bitch used to be my best friend. But that was until she dared to have my sweetheart in between her legs." Tears rolled down the cheeks of Jennifer. She wanted to scream at them but the voice was gone from her. There was no e
