The package
1004 Words
Amaya’s POV……
Everyone stared at me as I walked out of the office, they all knew, they didn’t stare at me because I came late and Adam was waiting for me; they stared at me because someone took a video of me begging Harry, and it was placed online, someone did this to me, someone that lived in his building.
I headed out of the office, I could not speak; I would rather not talk anymore, I did not want to anyone to confront me about it, my eyes were brimming with tears and my chest tightened with pain.
I headed into my car and I drove away, I never wanted anyone to find about yesterday, I didn’t know anyone would; no one knew I was dating Harry, I always kept my private life away from my personal life, and he always did the same too, but now everyone knows, and they think otherwise of me.
My life is ruined, I walked out on a meeting with Adam, my boss will be the death of me and I may end up losing everything including my apartment, I could feel my heart racing rapidly and a wave of adrenaline washed over me.
I had a frown on my face when I walked out of my car and I headed into my apartment, I closed the door from behind, and before I could do anything, I was pulled out of my thoughts because of the constant ringing of my phone, I snatched my phone away from my pocket and I glanced at the caller.
It was my boss Jonah, he never really liked me, he always hated the fact that I didn’t kiss his ass like every other staff, and he hated the fact that the CEO wanted me to work there himself; I am good at what I do.
I turned off my phone quickly, I would rather not speak to her, I rested on my couch and my mind wandered off to Harry, is he aware of this, I know his father is going to see this, and I know that he would make it look like I came on to him, after all he is wealthy, he would never want anyone know that he left a girl on the day he was going to marry her.
I knew I needed to fix this situation and I knew that I have to find a way to keep my job, I won’t have even been at this apartment if not for Harry, he made me move out of my old apartment; a place I could afford, and he thought it would be better if I stayed at this apartment; he did help pay the rent once, but I knew I had to take care of my rent, living at an apartment that is twice my salary.
This deal is the only thing that was going to save me, that was going to help me get money, I should have stayed away from that bastard, I should have stayed with Adam and I should have not walked away.
It’s just the moment I saw it, I could not handle my emotions, I could barely apprehend what was happening, and I knew I had to leave.
I snuggled into my blanket and a breath escaped my lips, I need to wake up from this nightmare, I need my life to be back on track and most importantly, I needed to be away from all of this madness, I need to be happy, and I wish this were all a nightmare.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a knock coming from the door; I pretend as though no one were in the house so that the person would leave, until I heard another knock and soon another one followed.
A breath escaped my lips, I wiped my tears and I headed toward the door, I glanced through the peephole and I saw an unfamiliar face, that was what made me open the door.
“Can I help you?” I asked, the man glanced at me before he pulled out a package from his hand, it was covered in black, and it had any name written all over it, not my first name but my real name.
“You have to sign this.” He said, I glanced at the gift, fully knowing where it was coming from, my breath hitches as I stared longer at the package, it was the same label as it did five years ago, I had forgotten today is the day.
I should have remembered.
I was so wrapped up in Harry, in my work and stupid Adam, I didn’t even realize today was the day, I could feel my heart feeling like a heavy weight crushed it.
“Ma’am you need to sign.” The man said, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts and I nodded, I pushed back the thought that I had before I collected the pen, my fingers were shaky against the pen as I signed on the paper.
“I’m sorry.” I whispered; I closed my eyes for a minute and I inhaled the air in and out, before I signed, the papers, and he handed me over the package.
I closed my door from behind and I laid the package on my center table, my heart was beating rapidly against my chest, how could I forget about it, what did I think was going to happen after I marry Harry and I receive this package, he would have known everything I have been hiding from him.
I moved closer to gift, my hand shook as I laid my fingers on the package.
“You know what it is Maya, it’s the same as it's always being.” I muttered against my breath.
I didn’t expect it to come so soon, and it scared me, it didn’t matter if I change my address a thousand times, he would still find me.
