Daphne's POV
“No” I shook my head as I tried pleading with Jaden, this couldn't be happening to me, not now, not today of all days.
“ You told me that you wouldn't break my heart, remember…we had memories together, Jaden, so please....”I shut my eyes, before flicking them open, my hands around his wrist.
“It is over, Daphne!” I stood transfixed to the spot as he shoved me aside before walking past me.
For the first time, since he had walked away from me, shoving me to the side just so he could walk through, my tears refused to drop and when they did, they came first in little lines, flowing down my face ceaselessly. I shut my eyes trying as hard as I could to blink them back but no matter how hard I tried to, I just couldn't stop it.
I leaned against the wall, my back hitting the rough wall before breaking down in tears. I let them all out, all the tears that I have held in after Jaden had called it quit a moment ago, when he had looked me in the eyes and muttered to my face that I was the bane of his life and he had someone else who he loved even though we have been dating for years. Five years to be precise.
I let out a muffled sound, that sounded like I was being choked, and not wanting anyone to call the cops on me. I stood up walking down the vast hallway.
“Jaden” I whimpered as I saw him at the far end,, his lips were locked on another's woman's lips, one that wasn't mine.
My heart shattered into tiny bits which I knew wouldn't be recoverable, not when I loved him so much, even more than I had loved myself.
I clenched my fist tightly, wiping the tears on my hands away before storming toward him. If I wasn't going to have him, no one else would, no one else who wasn't me would have the man I had groomed up.
I had barely moved an inch when a hand wrapped itself around my waist. “Let me go" I screamed out loud.
“Baby, aren't we supposed to have a swell time together? Just us? Why then are you staring at another man who isn't me?'' the stranger who had his hands around my waist asked.
His scent drifted into my nostrils, numbing my senses for a minute, his eyes the same shade of blue as the ocean, and they seemed to call me in the longer I stared into them, my heart flustered when his lips turned into a lopsided grin and adrenaline coursed through my veins, the same time in-between my legs pooled with heat.
“Daphne,” Jaden mumbled,
“You know her?” His partner asked, yanking his arms, until he was staring at her. I scoffed gently, not wanting to pay any attention to them because I was sure that I was going to end up crying. Yet again.
I jolted when I felt a finger run through my skin, and it felt just right because something warm pooled in between my legs, gulping in my spittle,
I was mesmerized when his eyes glanced at me, the way his eyes lit up when it came in contact with mine caused a knot in my tummy and the way I felt was different, different from how I had felt when I was with Jaden. Could it be lust?
My body seemed to have a mind of its own and a gasp escaped from my lips when he gripped my thighs, before smacking his lower lips with his tongue.
“You should be ready for the punishment I have for you, mama” he leaned against my ears, causing shivers to run down my spine with the way he had muttered out the last word. Seductively.
I was lost to him, not minding the fact that we were standing in the hallway, not minding the fact that Jaden was standing just a few steps away from us, boiling in jealousy which I could smell from here.
