Tangled Hearts

Chapter Two

Anabelle Acosta's Pov

Early the next morning, I woke up to an empty house, and when I touched the space beside me on the bed, it felt cold which told me that he hadn't been there.

I sat up slowly and face palmed my head as a high intensity of head pain rushed through me but quickly passed; leaving me feeling as good as new as though it was never even there.

I left the bed and begin for the bathroom where I did my morning routine and during this process, I got a fantastic idea.

I knew I must have done something wrong to Silvio for him to be this cold to me and i thought of placating him with a meal he liked.

With this idea in mind, I quickly breezed through all I was doing before running down the stairs and entering the kitchen.

I took out my phone and played Dusk Till Dawn by Bruno mars and with that set, I was running around the kitchen preparing chiken soup and some baked cookies I knew he loved back then; I smiled wistfully at the memories but couldn't let it get to me.

As soon as I was done I packed the meal I prepared into a flask and cleaned up the Kitchen before going to get ready.

I stepped into a blue Jeans and a white shirt, tying my up in a ponytail but suddenly remembered he prefers my hair down. So I quickly took off the hair band letting my hair fall on my shoulders.

I was soon leaving the house with the flask, and going to the bus stop to take a bus down to His office.

While in the bus, I imagined how happy he would be to see me, but before I could let my imagination run wild, the driver called out my bus stop, I jolted out of my day dreaming and got down from the bus.

As I strolled down the short distance to His company I found a quaint coffee shop some feet before his company and suddenly thought of the fact that he would be so stressed out at this time of the day with work.

So I walked into the coffee shop, as the ding at the door alerted the cute guy at the coffee machine and he glanced at me gesturing me over to him with a smile that I unconsciously reciprocated.

"a cup of black coffee please, two spoons of chamomile, one spoon of milk and a cube of sugar"

"Are you getting this for some one else Seniorita?"

He asked grinning knowingly at me as his hands worked on my order and I smiled at how he performed his Job perfectly.

"something like that" I replied with my smile still intact.

"That would be on the house"

"Really!"

"Yeah, anything for a pretty lady"

I blushed at his attempt to hit on me.

"I have a boyfriend" I said, trying to make him back out.

"and am gay" He replied with a grin and I felt my whole face reddened to the tips of my ears as I realised how stupid I looked.

I quickly turned around, "see you again next time Seniorita" I heard him say as I left through the door without looking back.

I finally got my blushing under control by the time I got to Silvio's company, while the staffs looked weirdly at me, a look i couldn't read a meaning to.

I didn't have it in me to spoil my mood, because I was feeling to optimistic about meeting with Silvio.

So I took an empty elevator up to his office located in the first floor where as soon as I got out , I found his secretary fuming at her desk.

I reluctantly approached her, my feet barely making a sound.

"do you have an appointment with the CEO? "

She asked while she typed furiously at her keyboard, like they were the source of her problems.

"erm........m I........"

"get out! or i'll call the security on you"

She said raising up her head and staring me down through her nose as though I was small compared to her.

"I won't take long, I only need a min....."

"Vicenzo, stop being too hard on me, I know you like it" I heard as I trailed off and i felt my brows furrow in confusion but one look at the secretary and I knew something was up.

I did not waste any more time with her as I quickly walked up to the door and pushed it open without a knock at all as I was supposed to.

"Silvio....." I staggered back at the shocking sight before me as my heart felt constricted way too tight to breathe at the time.

What I was always afraid would happen when it came to Silvio .

Stood there with his arms around the waist of a woman was Silvio, with his lips locked to that of the woman. Every nerve in my body vibrated at the sight.

The flask I was holding fell from my hands with a thud to the ground.

"how dare you barge into this office unannounced" the unknown woman spoke up, looking at me like I was a piece of unwanted clothing, I clenched my fist in anger, as my gaze shifted from Silvio who was so shocked to see me, that he couldn't say anything to the woman with him.

She looked really beautiful, tall, fair skin, perfect straight blond hair and had the curves of a model.

She dressed so hot, probably that was why Silvio choose her over me.

But that wasn't an excuse, he should have left me, If he didn't like me, or told me he prefers model-like ladies, I didn't mind going as far as training my body and dressing to please him.

But cheating? spitting right into my face, I can't stand that.

He shamelessly walked towards me with guilt written over his face, probably to explain God knows what, but unfortunately I wasn't in the mood to listen to any of that at the moment, I've had enough.

"f**k!" he yelped as he felt the burning sensation of the coffee I was holding all over his face.

Yes! it is what you think, I poured a hot cup of coffee all over his face, but that wasn't enough to quench the fiery anger within me.

"You animal!" I yelled at him in anger while he tried wiping off the coffee on his face. Tears welled up in my eyes no matter how hard I tried to fight it back.

"You're so cruel Silvio, how could you?" I heard a light chuckle.

"And what makes you so special that you think he would really want you. You look so pathetic, he's not your class, go back to the slum where you came from b***h!"

I don't know why but those words really hurt, so bad that the tears I was holding back gushed out down my cheeks leaving a hot trail behind.

"Gina stop" Silvio trailed off, burning with guilt and coffee.

I couldn't take it any more, I had to leave.

"Anna! Anna!" Silvio yelled trying to run after me when the strange lady held him back.

I was really mad at him, but it hurt more when he didn't follow me, and choose to stay back with the Gina.

The Secretary gave me a knowing look, I guess this has been going on longer than I thought.

I kept walking without looking back, heading for the elevator and when it opened my worst nightmare walked out of it staring at me in the face.

"Oh my God, can this day get any worse?"
