From hot to cold hearted

Chapter 3 the long wait

Lily went to the office her anger burning. Was she sad yes but fortunately anger was all she felt this made her mind sharper.

Maryrose was his secretary, she got the job because Maryrose’s mother was best friends with her own mother n law who happened to HATE her with a passion.

“Some simple designer isn’t good enough for my son” she would say all the time to her. She wouldn’t DARE say it in-front of Owen he caught her speaking that way the first time they met and he tore her a new one saying

“If you ever speak to her that way again i will not be your son, can you not just love her because she makes me happy?” After that she shut up but always insulted her when he wasn’t around. She wanted him to be with Maryrose. And he never pushed her away so it could have happened.

Lily stomped into her office hearing the clack of her heels on the floor, she was burning with rage.

“Ash, i will be gone for the next 48hours i have flys to swat.”

Ashleigh was Lily secretary and she knew not to speak, she been with lily since college. Although she was her secretary she was also a designer and Lily gave her the freedom and Lily had someone she could trust.

“Yes of course if you want any updates let me know, i hope your swatting goes well.

With that Lily came and gave her a wee hug and breathed a deep breath she needed comfort from someone, the person who that would normally be was Owen but she doesnt want to touch him.

Lily got back in her car and noticed she had a missed call from Owen. She didn’t bother ringing back or she would scream at him, so she just sent a text saying

“What”

Owen rang her but she didnt answer.

“Driving, what?” She text again getting more impatient as the seconds ticked by.

“Sorry love, i just miss you, thank you so much for leaving my lunch with my sister it was my favourite thing i had today” he even sent some hearts n kisses.

Normally her heart would melt with that this was a rarity for her he was normally alot more cold and aloof.

“No problem.” Was the only thing she replied with.

She was home in no time with Robbie and a man standing by the door.

“Heres your new set of keys, and i dont have all the information yet.” Robbie said, Robbie was 6.1 and was build like a brick house. He was the bodyguard her father picked for her when she was 12.

“Mm, i want it by 9am at the lastest can you do that?” She was on a quest now.

“Yes Lily i can do that no problem ill come right here, is that all” he asked

“Get me divorce papers ready, he cheated as the reason. I want nothing but this is my house so he must move out. I might not need it but id rather be looking at it than for it.” She was calm but she was close to her comfort she could feel herself cracking.

Before she could go into the comfort of her house she had another phone call to make.

The call didnt go through, so she tried again.

“Yes, what do you want?” Owens voice rang through. That was just like him. Warm via text but cold on the phone she never knew which was the real him.

“Someone tried to break into the house, you need to stay at your mothers tonight. You been coming home late alot lately so its easier to go to your mums its closer.” She said calmly

The line went very quiet he probably didnt hear her. So she went to repeat herself.

“Ook, someone tried to break into the house…”

“I heard you. Thats fine” he was tight in his voice like she was just annoying him.

“Thats good ill see you later ok?”she was about to hang up but was cut off again.

“Tomorrow is family dinner of the month and my Grandparents will be there, make sure you are there at 6pm” and with that last order he hung up.

Lily finally finished she put the key in the door, and once she closed the door she broke. The wave of pain pushed her to the floor. The tears just kept streaming.

Why am i not good enough, i love him. Why her. The questions tearing at her heart making her question everything from the past few years together, was it all a lie?

An hour later she was still sitting there with her back against the front door. The sobbs and pain just relentless, she loved him, with every fibre of her being. She wanted to have their baby she wanted a family, with him. She felt hopeless crawled into a ball and cried until she fell asleep on the floor.
