"What did I do Ally? What did I do for him to hate me so much?"
"You did nothing wrong Cam. It's all him. Don't cry again for a man like him" Ally cupped my face in her small hands and her nose reddened as she sniffled softly.
"Listen to me Cam. He shoved you away like you were nothing. It's time you stand up to him and show him that you don't care. It's time we show him that his words don't affect us"
I nodded my head.
"I'll forget him Ally. We'll only meet during business meetings for the next year. After that I never want to see him ever again" I promised myself to get away from him as fast as possible. I wouldn't cling on to him again. I wouldn't care if he was alright or not. I would do anything to forget him.
"Okay that's my girl. Now let's go to his house and pack your things. Where are you staying? You can stay with me as long as you want"
"Thank you but I have a penthouse near my company. I'll be staying there for a while"
"Are you going to tell your parents?"
Her words dawned upon me as if I had been struck by lightning. What do I tell my parents? They would feel horrible about this whole affair.
"No, they don't need to know "
"You know your parents are shit. They forced you in to this. They sold you " Ally spat angrily.
"Hey don't scold them. I know they did it but they did what they thought was best for me"
"Sometimes I really don't understand you Rowan. You're a hardworking, strong woman on the outside but on the inside you have a soft, fragile heart that warms up to everyone around you" She shook her head avoiding my eyes.
"I pity Marcus. He let go of the most precious thing he could ever have" Ally looked into my eyes trying to comfort me. I knew that she was sad of how Marcus treated me and I felt blessed to have a friend like her.
We drove off quietly to his house. I took some suitcases out and packed my bags with Ally helping me.
It was already evening and as I walked down the stairs with a suit case behind me I saw the front door opening and the man that I hoped to never see again came inside.
He looked at me with an unreadable emotion. Ally walked behind me dragging another suitcase but as soon as she saw Marcus her face darkened. She tugged at my arm and dragged me out of the door quickly.
I turned my head to look at Marcus only for Ally to pinch my arm and whisper into my ear.
"Don't you dare"
"Damn" Ally gasped as we both dragged my suitcases to the reception. I handed my luggage to a bell boy as we walked to the elevator. My penthouse was on the 15th floor and I could see the city lights through the huge glass windows. It was beautiful but not as comfy as Marcus's house.
The glass wall suddenly reminded me of Marcus but I shoved it aside. This is a new beginning and I don't want to hang on to my past.
Ally sprinted to the balcony, opening a door in the glass wall. She jumped up and down in happiness earning a chuckle from me. We both unpacked my things and kept them in the cupboards neatly
"You know about the party right? "
"Which one?" I remembered that Sarah talked of some party but I don't usually pay attention to that stuff.
"Mr. Holland is holding a party for his daughter's engagement and all the business tycoons and politicians are invited. "
"Oh yeah Sarah talked to me about it a while ago"
"You know that you have to show up with Marcus right? "
My body went rigid as she said that. I knew that I had to meet him for business matters but I didn't think it would be this soon. I had hoped to avoid him a little longer but now it doesn't seem to be working out.
"When is the party?"
"In three days." I inhaled loudly in frustration. I didn't know if I could handle my emotions if I see him this soon.
"Ma'am here's your dress " Sarah came running towards me holding the dress my company designed recently.
It was an off shoulder floor length dark blue dress with a slit all the way up my thigh. It was elegant, yet simple
I changed into my gorgeous dress and wore some light makeup. I let my hair fan around me in soft waves as I loosened it from the bun on the top of my head.
"Beautiful" Sarah clapped her hands in joy as soon as she saw me. She was already dressed in a dark purple floor length dress to accompany me. This was not just an engagement party, it was an opportunity for business, so everyone dragged their secretaries with them.
As I went down, I saw a black limousine parked at the front of the building, ready to escort us. I already knew Marcus and his secretary would be there. Sarah told me beforehand that we would need to go with them and therefore he would be picking me up.
