Chapter 1
Elliott Brown (POV)
Hearing the beep sound of Henry's car, beside the garage
I ran down the stairs ready to welcome Henry, stopping by the mirror. I stared at the oversized shirt on my body with nothing inside, it looked sexy and exposed my long, straight, fair legs.
I smiled embarrassed, it was rare for me to take the initiative in our relationship, jogging down slowly with an unbeatable smile on my lips, I approached the garage but nobody has come out, wasn't he supposed to come out after parking his car, looking through the window, I caught sight of him being intimate with his omega secretary.
I halted in my footsteps, feeling so sad and heartbroken. Was I really not enough? We are already engaged, yet his heart wavered.
Not wanting him to see me in this pitiful state, I rushed back inside, rushing to the room and changing that shirt he likes me wearing into a normal pyjamas before coming down and forcing my attention to the TV when it's clearly not there
After what took like an hour he arrived, walking in through the door while shamelessly bringing that secretary with him.
As if the secretary wanted me to misunderstand, If I still had illusions about being with Henry, he deliberately left his clothes messy, his face fully flushed, leaving those hickeys exposed
It wasn't something new, Henry's attitude change towards me over the past two years again making me doubt this five-year relationship of ours
I've cried so much for him, it always hurts but it doesn't affect him, he doesn't even seem bothered by guilt, in his eyes as an alpha, he is right
"Elliott!," he called my attention
" Elliott, no more sugar pie, wifey or cutie," I stared at him, straight to his eyes wanting to know if he'll waver or feel guilty but none
" It's already late, my secretary can't go home alone so he'll spend the night here!" He announced
Wasn't this supposed to be a permission, if I accept then, but if I don't, he'll leave but the way he announced it shows so much that my opinion didn't matter, it never mattered
Forcing a smile, I nodded and faced the television, just wanting to distract myself from whatever.
" Dinner," he asked taking me by surprise,
" I didn't make dinner, you stopped eating my food, so I didn't bother with it," I mumbled, amused that he still has the guts to ask that of me after dumping everything I made in the dustbin every time I delivered food to him, whether it's in his work or in the house.
" Elliott, don't be unreasonable, I brought a guest, so he needs food, can't you see he's tired after working?" Henry voiced out.
I got tired of even hoping our relationship can get back to how it was, it looks like it's all my imagination maybe he didn't truly love me at all, just wanted me when he was at his down and pitiful moments, now he is back on his feet then he clearly is pissed and doesn't want me anymore.
" He is your guest, not mine. Cook for him; I'm sick! I muttered ending the conversation. Seeing him fuel in rage and watching that slut of his rest his hand on him lightly then forcing a fragile voice
" Don't pick a fight with your fiancé, I am not that hungry, I can go through the night," his so-called secretary chipped in, out of anger. Henry approached me, "SPAAA!!" It took me seconds to digest that he slapped me, he slapped me for his mistress, he slapped me for another omega. Staring at his face to see pure disgust written so boldly on his face, it felt funny
My heart ached and broke, I said nothing and just watched him go up
" So all these years, I was the only one truly moved, all those wishes and promises were just mere words. The fact that he approached me, made me fall in love with him, even when I wasn't interested in him. Gradually, he made me like him. Now, I'm so hopelessly in love with him. He is now done with me. Irony of life.
After spending hours staring at the TV with lots on my mind, I cleaned traces of tears away from my face ready to go upstairs and sleep
Turning off everything, I headed to the room only to meet his secretary lying on the bed I share with Charles
I wasn't surprised, what did I expect from a slut, if it was before, I'll start throwing tantrums, trying to remind him that there is a limit to somethings but now, I guess it doesn't matters, none ever mattered to him
Sighing I walked closer to pick up my pillow and blanket only to hear that annoying voice of his
" Elliott, I hope you don't mind, I'm still new here and can't sleep alone in another room, you're an omega so you understand right?" He muttered taking up all the space on the bed with that smug look
" Elliott, don't be …,"
I was done hearing his voice, I could guess what Henry wants to say and I'm not interested in listening as I walked faster out of that room to the guest room
It's time to just let go, it's clear we won't end up together
