The Billionaire's Proposal

“Tristan , why?” BANG! A beautiful woman was pushed and thrown onto the floor.Her curled hair was a mess , her makeup was ruined and bruises were on her wrists. Eyes filled with pure hatred and disgust were staring down at her . He was supposed to be her fiancé , the man she would soon wed in a few months , yet here he was humiliating her. If looks could kill ,the look he gave her would have killed her ,he was staring at her like she slaughtered his entire family , was it possible to hate someone so much to the point of where their eyes were sending daggers. Standing next to Tristan was a petite looking woman with her arms around his right one , her face screamed innocence, pure , gentle and everything sweet, Carolina's skin was pale like snow , her face was small and adorable. Carolina , according to Leah, is a white lotus , someone who likes to put on a meek nature, forcing out the protective nature of the men around her and Tristan was no exception to men who feel for her tricks . Leah tried to touch him , but he roughly pushed her hands away “Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands you piece of s**t , you disgust me” he spat out every word prickling Leah's heart. Everyone at the party kept staring at them with kno one offering a helping hand to Leah , some even mocked and laughed at her , because to them seeing one of the top socialite females treated like trash was fun to watch . Leah glanced up at Tristan and her heart ached the more form seeing the horrible stare he was giving her . “ Tris , I'm” “Shut up you stupid w***e , who gave you the right to address me like that” he snarled at her . Leah felt her heart being stabbed by his words , when did it all go wrong ? , For as long as she could remember she had dedicated all her life and soul to him . She was supposed to work in her family's company but she refused just to satisfy him, she helped him pull strings, threatened people, did all the dirty work and pushed herself into the brink of stress , which led to the unfortunate Incident few months back that she hasn't even recovered from and she didn't tell anyone about it . And what did he use to repay her?, Humiliating her In front of a lot of high class people, just for his lover who was his secretary to begin with. Tristan stared down at Leah in her pathetic state He just couldn't believe he almost married this useless woman, he was fine when she displayed sings of jealousy, because as a man it only boosted his ego . But when she started sending out death threats to his lover he couldn't take it anymore , even though his family saw her as the perfect bride for him , he didn't and he would go to any means to prove that to everyone. “ Use my last kindness as a warning Leah, stay away from myself and Carolina or I will make your entire life miserable” his voice was extremely cold . And it sent chills down her back , “Do you understand me Leah, stay away from me” he yelled but like a stubborn child Leah not ready to admit defeat “No I won't say away you are my fiance Tris , not hers”. Before anyone could react , a hand had slapped her face , turning it to the side, everyone gasped in shock because they never expected a man or someone like Tristan to lay his hand on a woman in public. “Oh my gosh! are you okay baby?, Carolina immediately grabbed Tristan's hand blowing air on it not thinking for once about Leah who was the actual victim in all this. “I'm okay sweetheart” Tristan's behaviour changed so quickly, that Leah was extremely shocked , she never knew he could act so lovingly . They have known each other over two decades and he never once cared about her like that, even after they became officially engaged. Leah's hatred grew more , when she saw him , putting his arms around Carolina's waist , drawing her closer to himself like she was the most precious thing he owns. “Baby please let's not pay her any more attention, and don't hit her again I don't want you to get hurt” Carolina whispered with a sweet voice . Surprisingly, Tristan agreed to her “Anything you say sweetheart” he always agreed to everything she said , he believed he was in love with her , even though others saw it only as the honeymoon stage of every relationship. Leah was about to speak again when something hot and bitter trickled down her face. She felt broken , her parents disowned her, and her fiancé just humiliated her in front of everyone. She heard a chuckle and looked up to see Tristan laughing at her , it seems her tears brought him joy, but he seemed to stop after she looked at him , she decided to get up and fight him again. When a voice whispered softly in her head , “stay down , it's useless to fight back” Leah looked around trying to find where the voice was coming from . She then saw a mirror by her side , she was confused as to how it got there , when the voice spoke again “He will only cause you more pain and sorrow, stay down , don't fight for him”. Leah reached out her hand to push the glass away when her hand passed through the glass and she fell through it as well , she kept falling into the abyss for a long time wondering where she went wrong. Leah abruptly sat up in her cold dark room, she had been having this same nightmare for two years now , she wished it would stop , she didn't want to keep remembering about that night . The night she lost everything, soon droplets of tears fell from her eyes , she struggled to breath properly , hiccuping for gasps of air . It took a while for her to calm down, after she did, she touched her phone on the bed side and checked the time ,it was just a few minutes past midnight, she then decided to go back to bed , hoping for a good night's sleep .
