Chereads / Bound by vengeance / Chapter 5 - Hurt

Chapter 5 - Hurt

The car stopped in front of a cafe and she stepped out of it. It was a small cafe with beautiful vintage antiques. Surrounding by a calming atmosphere. She came here first with Ryan who introduced this place to her on one of their date. It was his favourite and soon became hers as they both started coming here together.

The cafe had a peaceful atmosphere compared to others as there were never much people. The only who comes here were always with a membership card of this place. At first it seems weird to her hearing that only limited people are allowed here. As it was an amazing place. The staff was polite and friendly too. Everyone minded their own business not disturbing others and talking in little voices. It made her think that maybe it was right to create the membership thing to not let anyone ruin the peace. Ryan bought the membership card for her too and she started visiting more often. She got familiar with the staff and owner itself who was a sweet old lady.

Standing near the counter she smiled at the man. "Hey Sebastian I want a cake." The man turned towards her and smiled. "Oh Mia, long time no see. Where were you the whole time?" he asked ignoring her question.

"Don't be a dramatic ass, it's only been a week." Mia scoffed.

"Oh Whatever." Sebastian dismissed it with his hand. "By the way where is your golden boy?"

"Sebastian I asked you something!" Mia rolled her eyes as she ignored his question too.

"You are mean Mia." Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "OK tell me which one do you want?"

"The one Ryan likes." Mia said winking.

"I get it he's your boyfriend, but you are being extra nice to that man cara." Sebastian said. "I keep telling you he's not your type but you always ignore my words. You need someone hot and hard with a big bad body." he added. "Or you can just choose me." he winked at her.

"Honestly you are not making any sense." She made a face. "And if you think I would ever choose you then you're mistaken honey. Als shut up Ryan is hot." She faked glared at him.

"For not choosing me you are only going to lose a gem mia cara." he smirked.

"You are annoying Sebastian you know that? Please I'm running out of time. We can continue this some other time just give my order and let me leave." She pleaded.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes before nodding at the staff girl to bring her order who stood near them. After some seconds the waitress came back as she put it on the counter and left. Sebastian asked someone to pack it when Mia cutted him off. "Can we write something on it?" Sebastian huffed in annoyance as he asked her what she wants to write. Mia began to think and smiled when she came up with something.

She went out of the cafe after bidding her bye to Sebastian. Mia sat in the car. She placed the cake on the passenger seat and started driving. It was a red velvet cake with custom sorry message.

'Let's eat this cake and make up.'

She smiled knowing he would be happy with all of this. She reached his house in 20 mins. As it was not far from the cafรฉ. Taking the bag out of the car. She went towards the door. Her hand raised ready to rang the bell. But stopped mid way as if she remembered something. 'It's a surprise so why not?'

She smiled and took out a key from her handbag. Ryan gave an extra key of his apartment to her so she could come anytime.

Opening the door with the key she went in.

The lights were on indicateing that he was indeed at home. Throwing her purse on the couch in the living room. She went upstairs knowing he would be there. She climbed on the stairs with a big smile and a sorry cake.

She reached on the upper floor and head straight towards his room. As she neared his room she heard faint voices. 'Probably watching something' she thought to herself. Taking out her phone she checked herself once again in the phone camera satisfied with herself. She opened the door with a smile excited to meet him after a whole week.

"Heyโ€”" her words halted and the smile dropped from her face after witnessing the scene infront of her. The cake too fell from her hand without her knowing. There was a half naked woman on top of Ryan kissing him.

Upon hearing her voice their eyes turned towards her direction. Ryan stood up quickly his face was void of any kind of emotion. She saw his eyes looking on the paper bag that fell and then at her. There was a moment of silence. It was like her feet froze too she couldn't move. Mia's eyes were stuck on him searching for a hint of guilt or regret in them. But she couldn't find anything. He didn't even tried to explain himself. Her eyes move to the blonde woman now sitting on the bad. The woman smirked at her clearly mocking her vulnerable state. She couldn't take it anymore. Tears gathered in the back of her eyes and she blinked in order to not let them out. She couldn't give these people the satisfaction.

She smiled looking at Ryan. Then she saw his face turning into a confused one and then slightly a hurt look appeared. 'Good' she thought. Guess he wasn't expecting this reaction from her. She step forward until there was just a little distance between her and Ryan. "Fuck you!" She threw the apartment keys on him which were clutched in her hand. "It's over Ryan smith." She turned back heading out of the door when his voice stopped her.

"Listen Miaโ€”" he went towards Mia. Whose back was still facing him. He put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't you dare Ryan! Took your filthy hands away from me." She snapped glaring at him. He backed off instantly. Giving him and the blonde a last look who was looking at the whole scene with a bored expression. She went out of the room. As she climbed off the stairs there was a little hope that maybe he'll try to stop her, maybe he'll come and ask to forgive him. Maybe he'll come and tell her how stupid he was to cheat on her. A tear fell from her eye when she turned back and look up to saw that he didn't even come out of his room. Probably they were continuing from where she disturbed them.

Turning back she stormed out of the house.

' I fucking hate you Ryan smith for this. I'm thankful that you show your true colours earlier.' Saying this to herself she went towards her car with a sour expression on her face and a ache in her chest. All she wanted was a way to bleach that scene out of her brain. God she wanted to forget that vile image that was coming in front of her eyes again and again.

It wasn't like she loved him or anything else but she liked him and had good feelings for him. It's just that he was the last person she expected would hurt her. That's why she wanted to cry but she's not that weak. She's stronger than this to cry over a barely three months relation. She remember all the moments they spent together. They felt so real she was happy. But of course men will be men, manipulative bastards. Saying some more colourful words.

She opened her car door. Only to be stopped once again. There was a box on the driver seat. On top of the box was a small folded paper. Picking the box of the seat. She sat in the car. She recognized the box immediately it was from the cafรฉ to which she went half an hour ago. Opening it she found her favorite brownies in it. She frowned she clearly doesn't remember buying anything except the cake who was now wasted. Then who put that in the car. She picked the paper, unfolding it she began to read the words written on it.

"๐™ƒ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™จ๐™ฃ'๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช."

She rolled her eyes it must be Sebastian only he says this type of things and is aware of brownies being her favorite. But it wasn't in anywhere in the car when she left the cafรฉ. Not stressing herself more she shrugged it and placed the note in her handbag. She would ask him later. Taking a huge bite from a brownie. She placed it back in the box and put it on the passenger seat. Starting the car she sped of. She couldn't wait to get home and forget this dreadful day. And on top of it she's single now. ๐˜‘๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ.. Life is surely turning into a freaking episode of a tragic show.
