Chereads / FORCED TO FLEE: Love on her own terms / Chapter 8 - heartbreak of a life time

Chapter 8 - heartbreak of a life time

Avril's pov

I'm laying on my bed still processing what happened last night. Thoughts like why was I my father's daughter going through my mind. Why does everyone I set eyes on have know to me? Why was I born a golden spoon?

I'm somehow really tired of people knowing me even when I don't know them. I'm tired of people seeing me as a threat just because of my father.

Honestly speaking Derrick's mother really hit a soft spot of my heart last night. I really got hurt by her words that I cried myself to sleep.

I'm so lost in thought that I don't even know what's happening around me. I suddenly feel someone sit beside me on my bed and I look to see who it is only to find it's Mary looking so worried.

"Hi," she says "are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I answer sitting up "when did you get in?"

"Just now," she says voice soft "you know you worried all us?"

"How?" I ask

"Well young master Derrick is outside your door and he's wanting to speak to you. He'd been knocking on your door for quite a long time and when he saw that you weren't answering he told to enter to check on you and to ask you if he'd enter." She tells me

"Oh I must have been so lost in thought that everything around me seemed not to exist,"

"Are you okay though?"

"Somehow,"

"Oh okay, your know if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm right here for you?"

"I know Mary, you've been such a good listener and an advisor for these days I've stayed here,"

"So can he come in?" She asks

"Yeah sure,"

She leaves then a few seconds later Derrick comes in walking cautiously as if the place where he is stepping is filled with booby traps.

He stands a few inches away from the bed and says "morning."

"Morning," I say "you wanted to speak to me?"

"Yes," he says nervously "I just wanted to apologize to you on behalf of my mom. She had no right to treat you like that. So I'm sorry for how she treated you."

"Oh no it's fine," I say trying to sound as convincing as possible "she's only trying to protect you."

"All the same she shouldn't have said what she said so I'm sorry." He insists

"Really sir it's fine besides I'm used to such kind of treatment. So really it's cool." I say hoping he'll just let it slide because talking about it only makes me feel upset.

"Alright, thank you."

"Cool. Sir, I was asking if I could go to see my boyfriend today."

"Yeah sure, you don't even to ask me for permission."

"Thanks," I say as he leaves my room.

I leave Derrick's mansion in like thirty minutes and I head for Jonathan's apartment.

I reach there in thirty minutes because I'm walking slowly.

I thought of coming to see him because apart from my younger sister he's the only one who understands me and my pain.

So when I reach at the door I open it because and enter. Don't judge me like I said before do I really need to knock before entering my boyfriend's house.

I enter the living room but I don't find him there so I assume his in the bedroom so I go there but I still don't find him.

I decide to go and check the kitchen and just as I open the door to the kitchen my eyes can't believe what they are seeing.

There standing by the kitchen counter I see Jonathan holding a girl in his arms kissing her as passionately as he kisses me.

I rub my eyes just to make sure I'm not making things up. Oh no this can't be happening

"Jonathan," I find myself gasping out "what's going on?"

"Lusubilo," he calls my name. What where's the mon amour. He never calls me by my name

"Lusubilo? Oh so today it's Lusubilo?" I ask bitterly

"What are you doing here?" He asks shamelessly

"What am I doing here?" I scoff "last time I checked this was my boyfriend's house and I was allowed to come and visit anytime I wanted."

"Well you checked wrong dear," the rat in his arms squeaks "coz last time I checked this was my boyfriend's house."

"Bitch shut it I'm not talking to you!" I yell and I turn to Jonathan and ask him "Jonathan do you care to explain what's happening here?"

"What do you want me to tell you?" He asks nonchalantly "are you sure you can handle the truth?"

"Bro stop beating around the bush and tell me what's going on!" I yell at him

"Well sorry you had to find out this way but I never liked you. You were only a source of income for me. I can't believe you seriously thought I could like a chick like you.

I was only after your money? Do you seriously think I'll continue dating you even after your father froze your accounts?" He says his tone as cold as ice.

"You're seriously fucked up." I say disgusted at the fact that he plainly said that without any remorse "I guess people are right when they say an apple doesn't fall far from its tree. You're no different from you father who left you and your mother for another woman."

"Oh no bitch don't push it too far. I will not let you bring my family into this. Just leave already before I end up calling your psychopath of a father and telling him that you are here." He says like he owns this world.

"You know what there's no need for me to even stay here," I say my voice filled with rage "clearly I was stupid to fall for you. I hope you and your rat will be happy in this so called life of yours and I wish I never see your stupid face anywhere."

With that I run out of the house my eyes full of tears. I was strong enough not to cry in front of that fucked up guy. I couldn't let him see my tears.

This world is full of idiots. I clearly thought dating a silver spoon was the best decision I made. I guess I was wrong. It seems like he was just a stupid gold digger.
