Their love story wasn’t perfect, at least for the world-renowned Hollywood actor and a lawyer, it was somewhat exciting.

That night, she had a meeting with the senator, it took much of her time and taking its toll on their relationship. She trusted him more than anyone else. She loved him more than anyone could ever imagine. It was indeed her perfect true love.

That night, he was with his friends, celebrating a birthday of a co-star in a first-class night club. He was drunk and the lights were tricking his eyes.

That night wasn’t ordinary, it’ll shake their world, and it’ll shake their love.

Upon entering the door, showing the invitation she received, she was directed to go over the corner where Joreen was hanging out with his co-stars. She got used to it, seeing movie and TV stars surrounding them. But tonight, it was heartbreaking. Upon approaching the corner, she saw Joreen kissing another woman. She can’t see her face, the lights we’re a pain to her eyes as the tears fell down to her cheeks.

“Joreen,” she claimed. There was a hint of pain on her voice and her knees were weakened by the sight.

And immediately, Joreen departed his lips on Anya’s. He was shocked, it wasn’t his Leila. He thought it was Leila. He was deceived by Anya’s playful act, she’s his leading-lady on his new project who announced that she has a little crush on him.

Leila run far away from him, far away from the shining world of stars, they’re stunning that’s so close to deceit.

She immediately moved out of Joreen’s flat. She shared a room with her lawyer-friend and decided to forget everything that had happened. As days passed by, she avoided talking to Joreen. It was painful as she was so used of waking up in Joreen’s voice calling her for breakfast. Or waking up at the middle of her sleep when Joreen arrived after late night shoots. She changed her number, too. Only colleagues and clients have her new number.

Their break up was all over the news. The fierce action star cried on national television, narrating the story of that horrible night. He was so broken, and said he was so sorry. But Leila, didn’t saw the interview. She was so busy on the upcoming trial, she was the lead counsel, and it was such a big break on her career as a lawyer.

There were social media floods about their break-up and how sorry Joreen was on what happened, but it never reached Leila’s knowledge. She forbids her colleagues on talking about Joreen.
