Chasing Love after Loss; a Billionaire's tale

Natalie's POV

After dealing with the pain of losing my parents, I most definitely don't deserve anymore pain.

"Please don't leave me."I pleaded for the hundredth time today with tears.

"Nat, I'm sorry." He Said. "It's not about you, it's about me and who I want and you're not the one I want anymore."

"Oh wow, you suddenly realized that after 3 years?". I asked, surprised that he could utter a statement like that.

"I found someone else and now I know what it truly means to be in Love".

"Really?... John, what did I ever do wrong? I have loved you right from the very first day until now. I did everything, literally everything to please you John. Do you realize I stopped my siblings from coming over to my place? Like I'd rather send them money because you said they don't like you and you're not always comfortable whenever they're around". Oh my God. "I'm so foolish"

He was going to talk but I raised a finger to stop him.

"Do you know what my sister said the last time we spoke?"

"That money shouldn't take the place of their sister, and she feels like they're gradually losing me".

"Yea that sounds like something they would say because they never liked me, and you didn't do anything bad in choosing me Natalie"

"Ouch, Natalie? Did You just call my full name?" Wow.

"True, I chose you but what did I get in return?

"You know, I shouldn't have to choose between you and my family right? The only ones I have left to call family. And why do you think they don't like you? Because you never even tried to be cordial with them"

He looked away.

"And now, you want to break up with me for real? This is not a prank like last time?"

"I fell in love, Nat. And I don't want anything or anyone to hinder me from experiencing Real Love".

"Hinder you, oh so you see me as a hindrance now? Just wow. Let me ask you, did you ever love me?" I asked, because I don't even know anymore, I'm really having mixed feelings right now.

"You know what, I don't want to hear the answer and I don't care anymore. Get out, just leave my house. You want to break up, no problem. I am so done with you. Fuck you!" I screamed.

Before he got to the door, he said "Yes Natalie, I loved you and we can still be friends if you want."

"Get the Fuck outta my face before I spit on you" I slammed the door on his face.

Wow, I don't why I'm this heartbroken, I saw this coming, I knew he was going to break up sooner or later the moment he kept using break up as a threat with every little argument we had. But deep down I didn't want that day to come.

I met John a year before we graduated from college. We sat beside each other in class one day so we got talking, and we clicked immediately as if we've known each other for a very long time.

Turns out we have taken the same classes since year one and he has always had eyes for me but doesn't know how to reach out because he does not want to be rude. Oh he was so cute and he had almost everything I wanted in my man.

He is tall, handsome (I love me a fine man), speaks smartly and is an intelligent young man. I fell for him real quick because why not? He has it all so there was nothing stopping me from saying YES when he asked me to be his girlfriend a few months later.

After we graduated from school, we decided to rent an apartment together to save cost and because we'll probably be sleeping over at each other's place most times so there was no point renting different apartments and life after school wasn't funny.

Chloe, my best friend never approved it though but she allowed it because she's doing the same with her boyfriend Caleb.

Chloe and my Sisters were never a fan of John. Chloe said he gives off "playboy vibes", my sisters said he was too proud, everyone with different opinions but I never saw all that because I was so in love.

We started having issues one year after living together. At first he wanted his own space, said he wasn't free enough living together with me and that's okay. I even tried helping him to search for a suitable place but he said he doesn't need help, I shouldn't stress myself.

After a few months, he said he wanted us to break up and then busted out laughing after few minutes saying it was a prank.

I was really foolish. Why did I ignore the signs? The late replies, not picking calls or even trying to call me or call back whenever he missed my calls, always trying to avoid conversations about things that had to do with US, making me feel like I wasn't enough and wasn't doing enough.

It was draining and frustrating, but it was still okay with me because I was foolishly in Love.

Now, the John I love from the bottom of my heart just walked out of my life and said he's never coming back and I have to deal with it. Omg, I'm such a fool. I can't even tell Chloe because heaven knows that I'm not in the mood to hear the "I told you so" from either her or my sisters.

Few minutes later, I heard a loud banging on my door.

Who the fuck is that??? I thought, not bothering to stand up to open the door.

As if she knew already, Chloe barged into my apartment and saw me sitting on the floor staring at nothing in particular with dried up tears.

"Babe, I have been calling, why didn't you take my calls? Wait, what's wrong? You're crying because of the Lady that bastard posted?" She asked all at once.

"He posted a lady? After breaking up with me few minutes ago?"

Just wow. I guess we're really done.

"I'm sorry, Babe. I'm so sorry you had to go through heartbreak for the wrong person". Chloe said, patting me on the back.

"Huh? Will it be better to go through it for the right person?"

"Nope, no one deserves to be heartbroken... But Nat? The right one will never cause you to cry, the right one will never give you reasons to doubt yourself or distance yourself from family and the right one is out there waiting." Chloe said, pulling me in for a hug.

"Omg, I'm such a fool" I said crying while hugging my best friend like my life depends on it.

"You'll be fine I promise, and I'll make sure to hunt that bastard down, chop off his tiny dick and donate it to charity". She said reassuringly.

We looked at each other and busted out laughing.

"Omg, Chloe I don't think you chopping off his dick which is not tiny by the way is what I want to imagine right now, but that'll be a fun thing to do." I said smiling.

"The point now is that you're smiling and that's all that matters." she said, looking at me with loving eyes.

"Will I ever get over him? This is my first ever relationship and first heartbreak, I don't think I can ever move on from this."

"Shhhhh, you can and you will get over him. I can't promise to chop off his dick but I promise, you'll come out of this unscathed." Chloe reassured me.

"Or Should we find a fake boyfriend for you to take pictures with, so we can post it with a badass caption?" Chloe asked.
