its Zeon, its him, its really him, I wiped my tears...
I sat there completely stoned out in my office, my mind reeling from the revelation that my new client is , my ex-boyfriend, Zeon nelson. I never thought I'd see him again after My heartbreaking breakup several years ago. As I tried to regain my composure, memories of my relationship came flooding back.
Years before, I was stuck in an abusive relationship that had left me emotionally scared and deeply wounded. When I finally got the strength to break free from that toxic relationship, I met Zeon, a charming and seemingly caring man who had swept me off my feet. Zeon has helped me rebuild my shattered heart, convincing me that I was worthy of love and respect. He had stood by my side as I worked through my trauma, I felt safe with him
But as time passed, I couldn't help but notice changes in Our relationship. My past trauma had left but I began to doubt Zeon motives, suspecting that his affection and love was fake and was for some other intentions, I didn't feel comfortable-
As I was zoned out with my own thoughts , I heard a slight bang in my desk when he calls my name.
"Verene ,are you there ? hello" , he asks me looking into my eyes
The man that used me, the man that lied to me in the past, the main reason why I swore not to be in a relationship again. My eyes welled with tears, My voice wavering as I struggled to maintain my composure.
"Zeon, I can't believe you, you have the audacity to come back into my life," I began, my tone a mix of anger and hurtfulness. "After everything we went through, the way you used me for your reputation , and now you want me to handle your case,?"
Zeon leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips. "Verene, my dear, I never used you for my reputation or money. You always had a way of jumping to conclusions."
He smirks, "But you know as well as I do that refusing this case would be a grave mistake."
I clenched my fists, my patience level right now . I knew I had to remain professional, but the memories of our past were an open wound. "You're not addressing the issue, Zeon." I felt frustration building. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was playing with my feelings, just as he had in the past. "I won't be manipulated by you again, Zeon. don't expect me to handle this case, not even in my dreams I will, I've had enough "
Zeon leaned in closer, his tone dropping to a low, teasing murmur. "Verene, you've always been so fierce when you're angry. It's ... cute and attractive, I like it ."
My face flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment. I couldn't believe he was making light of the situation, like how could he. "This is not a game, Zeon. It's my career, my reputation, and my firm's success on the line. I am dead serious. I won't let you play games with me, Zeon. I want to know how you found me, and why you thought you could just walk back into my life."
Zeon's expression shifted slightly, as if he hadn't expected that question. "Verene, we have mutual contacts. he smirks, " well I have my sources Mon Amour"
My eyes narrowed as I realized that he had been keeping tabs on me . "You've been watching me? Is this all some sick game to you? and you have the audacity to call me love?"
Zeon sighed dramatically, as if my concerns was some sort of chore. "Very well, Verene, I'll have my team provide you with the explanations you seek. But remember, time and trust is of the essence in this matter. Don't let our history cloud your judgment. and remember verene your always my Sunflower, how can I give up on you? "
I had heard enough, I couldn't bear another word from him. I stood up as anger floods through me . "I won't have anything to do with this, Zeon. You've crossed a line by bringing your manipulative tactics into my life again. Leave."
Thanks to Kate she came in to give me some paper works " how's it going Ms. Verene?"
"well, I like her , I-I mean she's obviously a talented women and I trust her", he says to Kate as he winks at me.
"oh, im not surprised, Verene's the best in town", Kate replies as she turns to leave, closing the door behind.
and as she leaves, he stands up and makes his way to the door, Zeon pauses for a moment, his eyes locking onto mine . "Think it over, Verene. The consequences of your decision could be far-reaching, very beneficial. I know you would change your mind and if you don't, I have my ways Mon A- , I-I mean verene, "
I watched him leave, my heart pounding with anger and confusion. I knew I needed to protect myself from that heartless man and my career, no matter what he threatened me of. With trembling hands, I reached for my phone and dialed Sabrina's number. My voice cracked as I spoke, "Sabrina, please cancel the reservation. I won't be able to make it tonight."
Sabrina's concern was evident in My response. "Verene, are you okay? What happened?"
I fought back tears as I explained, "It's complicated, Sabrina. Something I never wanted to happen ,happened , and I just need some time alone right now, I hope you understand."
Sabrina's soothing words offered comfort. "Of course, Verene. Take all the time you need. I'm here if you want to talk, ill be back home soon, don't worry ."
I hung up the phone, feeling drained. I had a million thoughts racing through my mind, and I couldn't find clarity among the chaos. With a heavy heart, I decided to head home, the weight of my emotions pulling and draining me down.
Upon reaching My apartment, I sank into my room. The dim light filtered through the curtains, casting a somber mood over the space. I felt like the walls were closing in on me , and my emotions began to spill over.
I curled up on my bed, alone with my thoughts and my pain. I had always been a fighter, a Strong woman who faced challenges head-on, but today , sighs, it left me hanging and emotionally wounded.
Hours passed as I feel asleep, Suddenly, the sound of my bedroom door creaking open roused from my restless sleep. my eyes fluttered open, and I saw someone entering my room. It was Sabrina, the only person I have right now, since my parents and brother is not in town.
Sabrina approached the bed with a gentle concern. "Verene, it's me, Sabrina. I couldn't bear to leave you alone like this."
my eyes welled with tears as , I sat up and threw my arms around Sab, pulling her into a tight embrace. The sobs that had been suppressed for so long finally poured out as I cried on Sabrina's shoulder.
"It's okay, Verene," Sabrina whispered softly, rubbing my back soothingly. "Let it all out. I'm here for you."
" He's back", I tell her with a sad look on my face.
Who is back?, she asked me with a concerned look
its Zeon, I met him today!
