The Billionaire's Unknown Offspring

Chapter No.13

The air felt heavy in the room as I found out some news that broke down the weak world I had made with my friend Joel. A small change in luck, a paper put wrongly - I wasn't sneaking around. Just at the wrong time and place by mistake. I looked at the words on my paper, and they hurt me a lot.

Engagement.

The word rang in my head, a sad song that made all other thoughts disappear. Joel, the person I came to care for deeply, was getting married with someone else. The big truth weighed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. How had I missed this? Was he hiding something on purpose from me, or was I so in love with our relationship that I didn't notice the truth of his promises?

I began to cry as I realized the truth. I felt the room getting smaller, plus walls saw my love story falling apart. I thought this is meant for something better in future. The quiet sound of the city nearby felt far away, like a song playing in another world.

I fell back, holding onto the paper like it had all the answers to my troubling thoughts. Joel's soon to be wedding made his past memories feel not so good - the fun times, dreams we had together and special moments were like a mean fake now.

A noise at the door broke into my messy thoughts. Joel's worry-filled voice called out my name. I got scared and without thinking, I ran away. I couldn't look at him, didn't want to talk about the hurt in his eyes or say things that would make those scars worse.

I raced through the busy city streets, my heart beating fast with every step. My tears made me unable to see, but I did not give up. The city was once a place that people had fun together. But it became like unknown streets - hiding my problems and giving me relief from hard realities I needed to face later on.

The feeling of betrayal stuck to me as I walked around without a goal. Every spot had memories, a bright reminder of love that fell apart because there were truths not talked about. Now, the city seemed like a maze of failed guarantees. It was where we all used to dream together but now it felt different.

Finally, I discovered myself in a peaceful park. It was secret and far from the city's nosy people. I sat down on a seat, the cold metal giving me relief from my inner chaos. The paper in my hand was a real sign of the love I had lost.

I shut my eyes, letting the tears come out freely. My chest hurt so much, a weak thud that went with the broken feeling in my heart. The world near me turned into a mix of colors and sounds, with each feeling showing the love that got away.

In that time alone on the park bench, I faced the hard truth of Joel's decisions. The dreams we made together are now falling apart, the strings of our bond getting worse and can't be fixed.
