Your love is killing me

Moving back into my high-end apartment, everything remained the way I left. Not a single thing was out of place.Everything in the living room was the same. I checked the room, everything saying it all. It was an abandoned room. I could see his face, his laughter, him throwing me cushions, us cuddling, watching movies on the 65inch TV. Tears welled up my eyes, but I could not bring my eyes to drop them. Sniffing and wiping my eyes, I moved from the living room towards the bedroom. I opened the bedroom door.The shoe rack at the wall behind the main door. The classy handbags are on the rack at the corner of the room. My books were on the shelves, the tissue where I left them crying. Everything was exactly where I left it. I moved to the wardrobe to check, and the only thing missing was his clothes. He didn’t leave even a single sock. It was clean. My heart shudder

That's how it all started.In the next few weeks, he was on my heels, trying to get me to have dinner with him. At first, I was skeptical about going in too deep into something that had doubts from the start. My new friends told me grew a seed of doubt in my heart.They say love is blind, and I can attest to that. James wooing me was amazing. It felt heavenly. My heart could skip each time he came to pick me up at the dormitories gate. I was the envy of most girls in college. Those that knew him saw me as another project on his list. That didn't bother me at all.All I wanted was to be in love and enjoy my life. I don't know what he thought about me at first, but I knew for sure he also felt something for me. I could tell from the way he looked at me. He was always glued to me each time he saw me.During the few times we went out to dinner, he would hug me when he took me back to the dormitories. I could always feel his fast-beating heart hugging him. It

Things were back to normal between James and me in the next few weeks. We went on dates and enjoyed our time together as always. I knew I could not trust him to be all mine, and I had to accept that. Though that was the case, I could not ultimately come to terms with it. The number of women fighting for him was ever-increasing. Some of them even had the guts to threaten me to leave him. All these hurt me, but I stood my ground. My man is mine alone.For the next three years, things were good between us, and we planned to go to the next step. But first, we agreed for me to finish college first. James had taken his family business seriously. Things were moving smoothly, but I got a few calls from people I didn’t know. I didn’t pay much attention to the threats I got from the calls. At first, I did not tell James about them, but it became too much when someone stopped the Uber I was riding on to college one day. A you

“Was there a business trip at all?” I asked the first thing that came to my mind“Yes, Hun. I was on a business trip. I didn’t know it was all arranged,” he explained to me, but my mind was on the pictures I received“So. Indeed, your family doesn’t want me due to my social class?” I said more of a statement“Where did you hear that from?” he asked me in a worried expression“I knew the day that lady stopped me. I waited for you to open up to me about the issue, but you never did. The photos today confirmed you really don’t love me as much as I thought,” I sobbed even more. I had cried till there were no more tears. My voice was hoarse.James ignored my struggles and hugged me from the ground to the couch. He placed me down on the sofa and hugged me. I let him do so“You should have told me about her. Why did you cheat on me again?” I asked him. He seem

The next day, hunger woke me up. I kept on tossing and turning throughout the night. I took a quick shower and called for a taxi. I went foodstuff shopping, but first, I had to grab breakfast at a restaurant around the city.Sitting at a window, I remembered how I met James Watson. Shaking my head, I looked outside the window. I felt lonely and empty. I could see couples passing by the huge clear glass window laughing, smiling, and looking lovely at each other. The scene made me miss him even more.I know it was an impromptu decision, but I could not handle the pressure. I thought James would’ve fought harder for the relationship, but that was just my expectation. I expected him to change and be someone I dreamt of. Someone that fit my prince charming, but it was not the caseI knew he would not change no matter what I did. It was for the best to let it go. His family didn’t want me. They didn’t even get the chance to see me, and they already b
