CHAPTER 8
I clutched my dress in fear thinking he was going to come for me but he just ignored me. I couldn't help but heave a long breath, I was grateful for the kind of man Damian was.
If it were to be another man, he might have raised his hands on me. I had even expected it but was shocked he didn't do that. I wanted to use it against him but I was glad he didn't do such.
I brought out my phone and texted Ethan, appreciating him for the gifts. Last night was a heated moment for us, though we didn’t have s*x we cuddled all night. I avoided having s*x, I couldn't handle it. I wasn't ready to have s*x with him yet.
I felt like I was betraying Damian but my mother made me understand that I wasn't. She said I was only doing this for myself.
I felt like Damian didn't deserve this at all.
He treated me like a real princess and I couldn’t help but be awed. I needed someone like Ethan in my life, I couldn’t continue living a boring life with Damian.
Just before I left, Ethan took me to a Gucci store and got me whatever I wanted. I even bought stuff for my mom and sent it to her.
I took off my dress and headed into the shower. I didn’t like Ethan but I had to do this for my family, I wanted to be able to take care of my mother and Damian wasn’t helping at all.
To be sincere, I really love Damian. He was a good man and didn’t deserve any of this but he also didn’t deserve me. I was worth more than he was doing to me, Ethan had made me realize that.
I deserved to be taken all over the world for a vacation but Damian couldn’t afford it. I wanted all the materialistic things of life but he couldn’t afford it.
I felt bad for leaving him like this but he can never satisfy me.
I picked a bag and shoved important things into my bag. I had to leave here before Damian got back. I wouldn’t be able to go if he was around, I could see the hurt in his face earlier today and it almost made me crumble.
I packed my things with tear-stained cheeks, looking at the bed, I could remember all the memories we had made here. I could remember Damian serving me breakfast, he was a very caring man.
He was willing to do anything for me but he couldn’t satisfy my wants. Ethan could satisfy my wants and that was all I needed.
I wanted to enjoy materialistic things. I took a quick glance at the whole house before walking out. My heart felt shattered, I wanted to turn back and stop all of this but I remembered my mother's words.
Justin also deserves to live a good life, I flagged a cab and got into it.
“Are you okay ma'am?” the cab driver asked. I hadn't stopped crying since I got into the cab. I didn't want to do this but something kept pushing me.
My phone buzzed repeatedly, shaking me out of my thoughts. I picked up the call after finding out that it was my mother calling.
“How are you doing dear?” she asked, her voice sounding very excited.
“I received the package, I am so proud of you baby!”
My mother said excitedly over the phone.
“The bags scream luxury! Do you see what I have been telling you? Leave Damian.” she said.
For the first time in years, my mother said she was proud of me, I wanted to hear my mom say these words. I had to do whatever I had to do, my feelings didn't have to matter.
“I know Mom, expect more,” I told her, feigning excitedness.
She laughed and praised me for a while before Justin collected the phone from her.
“Thank you so much sis, I saw everything you got for me,” Justin said.
I was happy that they were happy, after so many praises and prayers my mom finally ended the call. By that time, I had gotten to Ethan’s villa.
He had asked me to come over to his place, he said he didn't want to see me with Damian again and I agreed. I got down from the cab and headed inside. Ethan had given me the password and I punched it in before walking inside.
It was just like his mansion but bigger, so I settled down and poured a bottle of expensive wine into my glass cup while imagining how I would look in the house.
I wanted to show my mom the place so I called her on a video call and showed her around. She couldn't help but gasp while shrieking excitedly.
At times I felt like the mother, my mom was just too childish. She said she could wait to come over but I had to ask Ethan first.
A few minutes later, Ethan walked in looking glamorous. There was this aura around him that screams power. At times I wondered how he got such money, the company wasn't that big.
I shrugged off those thoughts, I didn't care where he got his money from, as long as I enjoyed his money I was fine.
“How are you doing baby,” I welcomed him with a kiss. We talked for a while before he shoved some letters into my hands.
“Sign it and give it to me,” he ordered. I looked at the paper and my eyes widened in shock.
“So so..on?” I stuttered.
“Yes, don't worry. I will sort everything,” he assured me and squeezed my hands.
I signed the papers with a shaky hand, I wasn't prepared for this. I didn't expect it to be this fast.
I signed the papers and gave them to him before sinking into the couch. I prayed he could handle this news well.
