Nicole's pov

After Xavier left I sent him a message

--fine by me , don't say there was no warning bye scum!

What else did he expect from me to run after him and beg him to marry me. I don't want to see him again and won't let him just get away with what he did to me.

people might say move on but how could I when they planned to have me dealt with and take what belongs to me.

It hurts but pain is just a momentary thing. I don't plan to wait to get my revenge. I have a special surprise stored. since you like money

"honey are you okay" Beatrice said pulling me out of my thoughts

"yeah I'm fine I just need to be alone you guys go enjoy the gathering" I said

"Sam is really sorry for what she did, please forgive her so you can both heal now alright" dad said.

"Father Sam isn't a child anymore and doesn't need to be coddled. I don't want her sorry it's useless and as far as forgiveness not happening she laid her path now she needs to lie on it."

"Why are you like this? Just forget the whole thing already I will find you a better match" dad said.

"I don't need a new match and why forget when it caused me pain and I will not forgive that now please go."

"Go go why so you can plot a way to get back at your sister how ridiculous you think getting back is going to give you peace in the long run".dad said.

"No, she betrayed me and tried to make it better when she saw I was going to get hurt but did she say anything no because she wanted the man. well she can have him maybe that will be her suffering. now I'm done talking to you" I said.

"Fine but I'm not going to let anything happen to her because of you.. let's go Beatrice" dad said.

Am I the villain in this story as if I'm going to harm her? Why can't he see my pain? Why doesn't he hug me? protect me but no I have to be the bigger person as always and let everything slide. ha when he protects is because his daughter's life is on the line.

I feel weak right now as if something has taken a piece of me and stopped on it. I want to slap her,give her a piece of my mind but that all is pointless.

***5 days later

breaking news

Nicole night announced her engagement with Xavier Patel has been called off due to his indiscretions!

I woke up to the news being spread on all platforms.

For the past few days he has been spreading rumors about me having multiple partners and he caught me with Adrian in a hotel. That's why he decided to break off the engagement.

Can you believe the nerve of this stupid man? So I made the news official and posted receipts of his indiscretions. turns out he's had multiple partners and my sister wasn't the only one he was seeing. My sister was devastated. He promised her lots of things but one of those was she was the only one.

suddenly my phone rings

"hello who is this"

"you have some nerve Nicole how dare you publicly announce our engagement is over without my permission.

"I don't need your permission to announce anything. plus all I said was the truth unlike you. Please don't contact this number any more".

"don't hang up on me. look I admit I made a mistake but I wouldn't hurt you I love you it's always been you. Please retract your statements".

"no I won't"

'Nicole, this is hurting my business. Please do it for our friendship".

"that friendship ended the day we broke off our engagement"

"I know you don't want this scandal to get out of hand this should be resolved between us and our two families"

"Then contact my family.See what they have to say".

I hung up and blocked his number.
