Heartache and anger

" you look out of it" Olivia commented seeing Tika so pale and probably lost in her thoughts

"Why... I keep asking myself why…. Olivia" Tika cried as she ran into Olivia's arms, her tears which she had held back all this while fell uncontrollably "you need to let go Tika that's just the best thing you can do for yourself" Olivia sighed as she rubbed Tika's back

"I can't just let go just like that! We've been together that long!" Tika argued with tears streaming down her cheeks

"And you think he'd take you back?" Olivia asked directly " He agreed to meet up at the cafe today….. I….I… need to look my best" Tika let go off Olivia as she shakily rummaged through her clothes

"Do you really wanna go?" Olivia asked a bit skeptical of the whole thing "He has to say everything to my face… who knows it might just be a misunderstanding" Tika said through tears as she hurriedly picked out a three piece outfit

Which was her favorite fit

She quickly took a shower and hurriedly got dressed "you need to make me look so good Olivia" Tika said anxiously and Olivia sighed

"Love don't work this way Tika" Olivia commented as she picked up the makeup brush "I have to speak to him, we have to sort it out he promised" Tika tried to fight back her tears as Olivia began to do her make up

"Men are the worst Tika, everyone knows that. Their lies are top tier, they should exist in another planet not earth" Olivia laughed to lighten the atmosphere "he's different…. He's always been" Tika defended him with all her heart, to this Olivia could only sigh

She finished the makeup quickly which transformed Tika 180 degrees

"You look beautiful" Olivia grinned feeling proud at the outcome "he'd fall in love with me again once he sees me" Tika twirled around in the dress feeling better looking at herself

She looked beautiful

And that was all that mattered

And without waiting for any more words from Olivia, she ran out of the apartment as fast as her legs could carry her "she couldn't even wait for a few words" Olivia sighed as she strode into the kitchen to grab hereself a drink after which she fished out her phone to order food

"There's nothing to eat no more! Damn you Hades" Olivia scoffed in disdain as she browsed through the online menu's. She could only blame it all on that bastard for hurting Tika

Now Tika wouldn't cook ever which meant more spending

Today could only determine whether or not Tika's relationship with Hades would be revived or end hence she had to eat all she could to have enough energy for Tika's excitement or sadness

Though she really hoped for the latter

Tika was such a sweet girl though bitchy sometimes. No one deserved to be treated in that manner

Tika arrived the restaurant earlier than the scheduled time, her hands trembled as her anxiety began to set in

She could feel the gazes of other's on her, though unfamiliar

Her relationship with Hades was no secret hence she was a mini celebrity in school. In short a lot of people knew her face even if she didn't know them

"What would you like to order" the waiter walked over with a sunny smile on his lips "I'll just have expresso" she replied lightly "anything else you might wanna add?" The waiter asked "nothing for now maybe a cookie would suffice" Tika smiled and the waiter nodded before walking away

The gazes from all sides bore heavily on her yet she gritted her teeth and endured it all while fiddling with her phone

She had to be strong for their relationship

Soon her order arrived and the expresso and cookie did well in calming her nerves while she got lost in the internet

Hades was trending again…..

He had been recommended for something big

Something national

"You're here" Hades finally sat his eyes didn't hold the warmth it once had for her but contempt "Babe….." Tika froze slightly, searching those for something if not anything

But they were as bland as frost

Cold as ice

" we're over Tika….. what else do you want from me?" He asked jolting Tika out of her fantasies "what do you mean we are over? you..... promised!" Tika trembled as she tried to hold his hand but he pulled back in disgust

"I don't need any scandals to my name now do I? Now do well to support me just like everyone else….. or aren't you happy about my success?" Hades frowned even more as he stared at her "or did you think changing your appearance would change the fact that you're an ugly woman? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? What makes you think you're worthy of me" Hades chuckled mockingly, his every word jarring "what did you say?" Tika trembled in both heartache and anger

Heartache for wasting her time loving a jerk

And anger for not realizing how much of a jerk this bastard was sooner

"I said you're ugly! You've always been and nothing you can do can change your appearance, fact still remains you're an ugly woman" Hades snorted in disdain and Tika splashed the content of her cup on him, earning a mocking chuckle from him

"Is that all you've got?" He wasn't amused or flustered

Why? Why would he hurt her so much?

"After all we've been through!" Tika broke down in tears as she stared at the man she had loved, even going against her family for

But the bastard wasn't even worth it

Yet she had stupidly argued with everyone

And had now been kicked out

Who was she to cry to?

"What have we been through Tika?" He asked with a hint of provocation "all you give me is encouragements not resources and you know why I dated you? It was solely to make everyone want me even more and look….. now I don't have to do anything and I get everything! The one I've always wanted was never you... you were all but s substitute! Not even sex would make me want you. You're that disgusting" he chuckled as he slowly stood up using his towel to wipe himself a little

"I do hope you find someone who loves you….. you were foolish enough to choose me over someone who genuinely loved you.....I hope you've learnt your lesson and won't be foolish anymore" with that said he walked out to his car parked outside

"Baby you took so long!" Isabel pouted as she threw herself into his arms

A sight Tika found so unbearable she almost suffocated

She had been so stupid and now the one who had loved her with everything he had

Was now happily together with someone else

How could she have been so dumb

She cried

The students around her didn't spare her either, the whole video was posted without her consent and she was still abused

How she left the cafe

She had no idea

But she found herself wandering the streets like a lost soul

Maybe possessed

Maybe she could end it all

Maybe she could die?

Her thoughts were mangled

It hurt.....

Oceana stared at the two storey modern villa in shock, it was beyond her expectations

"Is this where we'd live nor big sis?" Leo giggled and Yuna nodded "we'll live here henceforth so you have to be obedient and listen alright" Yuna commented and Leo nodded "will we have pork knuckles" he asked

"You've turned him into a big foodie already" Yuna sighed "you cook the best little aunt" Leo pouted as he nestled in Yuna's arms

"He's officially switched sides" Oceana sighed
