Beth's point of view.
it didn't take long for Ezra to find me and i just broke down the moment i spotted him approaching me. i couldn't keep it in anymore.i felt so horrible and frustrated. he held me down until i stopped crying and he took me into his car. "what happened?did he do something bad to you? oh my God of course he did, am so sorry that was so dumb of me.did he kick you out or something?" i look outside the mirror trying to hold it in. he takes that a s signal to shut up and i remember he has to help and get me out of this foreign country.so i turn facing him "i want you to help and book me the earliest flight that can take me back home" he looks at me like he is debating on it "don't you think it will be wise to talk to Eric over this? he might panic or worry once he doesn't find you" panic my ass "look i know about your concerns but trust me if i spend one more day here i will go behind bars for what i might do to him and his friends "i yell" "wait did you just say his friends?"he looks at me like he cant believe what i just told him." Ezra, they all went savage on me and started bullying me,i overheard their plot in the morning on the couch and they said leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere was just the start,i am even supposed to swim the whole ocean according to Eric yet i can't even swim to save my life" i start sobbing again.
after reaching Eric's apartment, i pastered him to find me a flight right away so i can be able to leave by the following day but he kept insisting that he wants to first confront his brother and thank God when Peruth his girlfriend learnt of what they took me through ,she did it herself.and i give credit to the pregnant women for their temper. she covered all costs and got me a cab by morning to drop me off at the airport.i call Kyle before entering the plane to let her know that i was already on my way and she was supposed to pick me up from the airport.and believe me when i say that the flight to this place was frightening because i was with Eric and now it still horrifies me but there is no one to add fuel in the engine.
i crushed in to Kyle in to a hug once i reached the airport sobbing like crazy. i really missed her so much and it killed me not to be with her and teach those goons a lesson.she drove me to her apartment and rested for the rest of the evening.

in the night after our dinner,we settled for a movie but that was what i thought at first. instead, Kyle was curious on what went down which i narrated in details and now i had to find a way to fend for myself, it would be heartbreaking for a newly wed to return home in less than a week, especially for a mother. so i settled for finding a job that fits in my criteria and start my own journey of life. "but you just have a high school degree, how are you going to deal with that?" kyle questions "ahhh" i look up at the ceiling like it the most intetresting thing to look at" how about i work for my tution that can push me to compass? and after compas i will be able to get a more reliable income?" it came,as more of a question. Kyle's face brightens up" wow that's a great idea and how about you work with my brother? he has a car bond and he wants more labour for book keeping and i think it's just a junior?plus you were good with maths" i send a wide smile her way "i think that's even great because it would be better as i want to proceed with my accounting studies" wow, now i like how its ending nicely for me "so let me give him a call and see what he says before we all get too excited"she excuses herself and i am left praying.
what can i say,the job hunt went all good for me and i promise to treat Kyle out for dinner and she is now the one praying. i had all my paperwork saved on my email so that i can access it whenever i need it so i didn't have to go home as i am still under cover until the douchebag comes and i would know the way forward with the so called marriage. i arrive at the bond offices and submit the paperwork. good thing about connections is that the boss is aware of your coming so the recruiters will be more focussed on you as they need to impress their bosses. so in this situation,the boss is actually expecting me so when i explain to the receptionist about my mission, i am immediately escorted to the boss himself. (wish me luck). "good morning sir? you must mr. Jacob Morgan?" i say approaching his desk and mahn is his office a fancy one? "good morning and you must be Elizabeth Richards,have a seat please" he motions for me to seat down which am thankful for because my legs are starting to feel like jelly."sooo Kyle told me about you and everything so you will leave me with your documents and a set of guidelines will be sent to you via email and so i hope that you will be able to work in a fortnight because its when your desk will be ready with everything okay" i nod thankful that didn't have to go through a lot of processes "okay sir,and thanks alot,i will do better than my best to fulfill your expectations."i stand up to shake his hand but instead, he comes out of his desk " its okay,i am also thankful because in business,it good for a person you kind of know or trust handles the finances" he crushes me in to a hug and i am startled by his gesture. does he know me already to even trust me,i have a lot running through my mind but all i say is thanks.i pull out and see myself out speechless. what matters is that i landed myself a good job. who am i kidding,even better than what i had anticipated.
i head to the cafeteria i asked Kyle to meet me at and found her already yawning. this girl will eat a cow one day. i tiptoe behind her and hold her eyes closed. "guess who" i smile already knowing that she guessed already "eric's soon to be ex wife" i grabbed everyone's attention getting in and now i regret that. i walk past her and send her a glare "really b***h" she sends me a wide smile "aren't you going to divorce him?" i roll my eyes "not in this lifetime" we both instantly turn our heads to the entrance only to see a smirking eric looking like he's about to get his seasonal championship."asshole". i matter.
