Aron POV
Upon witnessing her with his ex-boyfriend, my heart broke. I never imagined that she would brutally make fun of my emotions. Though I'm making an effort to better myself for her, she never stops stabbing me in the back with her lover.
The moment he took her hand, that scene was still playing out in front of my eyes.
How dare he touch my woman?
She brought my deepest fears to life. I never wanted to share her with anyone, but he stole Sara from me.
While I was driving, tears started to fill up in my eyes. Moisture in my eyes made it difficult for me to see the cars. Why did she treat me like this? Why did she reject my love for him? What he has is so unique that it makes her fall in love with him. Her calls were ringing on my phone, but I wasn't in the mood to speak with her.
I wanted to ask her why she had betrayed me, but I wasn't sure how to do so while my heart was in such deep pain. It dawned on me that I had neglected to pay the lunch bill when I was returning to my office. Sara went to the restaurant with me, so she must have been waiting for me.
What would I do if she ran into my dad again and found herself in the same situation? How could I be so careless? Before I leave the restaurant, I should pay the restaurant bill and also give Sara some money so she can return to the studio. I turn around and head back to the restaurant.
My blood boiled upon seeing her sit with that jerk at the same table that I had arranged for us. How could she do this to me? Seeing her having lunch with her boyfriend, which I made just for us, makes me feel devastated.
I turn back to leave the restaurant in silence. I wanted to approach her and ask her what she was doing with him at this table, but when I saw my surroundings, I decided to leave the restaurant quietly.
"Aron, where are you going? Don't you like the food?" Laura's voice caused me to halt.
"I... I .. have some urgent work to do." It was becoming more difficult for me to contain my anguish, but I did my best to keep my tears hidden from her.
"What happened to you, Aron?" She looked at me in confusion. She directed her gaze towards Sara. When her gaze settled on Sara and Neil, she grasped the full extent of the situation.
"Aron, please don't be sad. It's ok; maybe you deserve a better woman than her." She comforted me by patting my shoulder.
"Laura, I fell in love for the first time, and she cheated on me." I feel the same pain in my chest that I felt years ago when I saw my mom cheat on me.
"I am always here for you. I love you." She attempted to kiss me, sensing my weakness.
"Laura, behave yourself. I have made it clear that I have no feelings for you." I jerked her hand off my shoulder.
"Did she deserve this level of loyalty?" She looked at me angrily.
"I don't know what she did to me, but I still love her and can't replace her in my life." Even though I'm already damaged, I don't want to cheat on her because I don't want to force her to feel the same suffering that she did for me.
"But, Aron, you do need a friend at this time." She trailed behind me to prevent me from moving.
"No, I don't need anyone now."
She not only played with my emotions but also betrayed me by pretending to be my friend. She was both my first friend and my first love. She was the first person who made me feel anything, but I could have never dreamed that she would make fun of me in this manner.
I had a difficult time getting to my car on my own. Laura wanted to support me by consoling me, but I was afraid that in my fit of rage with Sara, I might end up fucking her, so I left the restaurant.
I started the car and drove in the direction of my office. While I was driving recklessly on the highway, my phone buzzed with the detective's number. He informed me that she transferred all her money into Neil's account. He created fake accounts and used them to hold all of her money.
Not only did she send all her money to him, but he also facilitated the sale of her first published book. I initially believed that she sold her book due to pressure from the publishing house, but in reality, she sold her book—or perhaps more accurately - her secret—for Neil.
She had been betraying me from the very beginning, and I was unaware of her evil intentions. She never loved me; she always wanted to get free from my prison. It's entirely my fault that I made her a prisoner in my house. It's my fault that I fell in love with her and changed myself for her.
My mind is flooded with all the moments where I feel that she loves me. I keep asking myself the same question: Did she ever love me? It got worse for me with the sudden heavy rain. I feel as though God is crying, too, seeing how broken my heart is. Even in this intense downpour, I didn't slow down my car.
Driving irrationally, I pass cars, buses, and trucks while trying to clear my mind. When I saw a big truck approaching from the front, I changed lanes and got into an accident with the car that was approaching from the front. My forehead smacked the steering wheel, and my mind went blank. My car's horn was the only sound I heard before everything became quiet.
I saw Sara's face before it vanished into the darkness. She was walking with her boyfriend, leaving me behind. She ignored me when I tried to stop her. My eyes closed on the last two tears, and I lost consciousness.
