Desire

18 - Betrayed

VALERIO´S POV:

It was almost eight o'clock Olivia should be there soon, I was on the balcony.

A cold breeze flew past me.
It was dark and the sky was filled with stars. I looked at the forest that lay ahead of me. It was dark yet mysterious, The moon shone and clouds passed by. I could hear people laughing and talking from downstairs, the balcony was big and nicely decorated.

Footsteps grew heavier behind me step by step, a hand caressed my back. ''Hey''

Wait this isn't Olivia's voice.
I turned around and made eye contact with Jane who still had her hand on my back.

" Jane what the hell are you doing ? " My face turned into an angry expression and I felt my fists tighten .
What the hell does she want from me?

She licked her lips stained by her red lipstick, she wore a dress that was short and just fell over her ass.
''I just wanted to talk to you'' She stared at my lips and ran her hand over my chest. ''About us.....''

I took her hand and took it off my chest, what is she talking about?
''You cheated on me jane, there's nothing to talk about''
My voice was loud but she didn't react in shock, it's like everything I say doesn't get through to her.

¨Baby come on it was a mistake you and I both know we belong together ¨Her soft hand slid down my cheek and I didn't know what to do

she was my first love and hurt me and I hate her for that but seeing her now after these years does something to me.
"That's bullshit you hurt me and I'm never going to forgive you why don't you understand?"
My anger kept bubbling up and the thought of her hand on my cheek only made me angrier.

"Baby just give us one more chance." Her eyes shone and before I could say or do anything she pressed her lips into mine.

I went along with it and realized what I was doing was very wrong.
The kiss lasted quite a while but I didn't feel anything, no spark, no goosebumps over me. Nothing at all.

I quickly pulled away and glared at her.
"Jane what the fuck?! Why can't you understand that I don't want you?!''
'I'm done with you and don't want anything to do with you''

I grabbed her throat tight and she gasped for air. "Touch me one more time or look at me one more time and I'll cut your throat open without a doubt."

My anger took over and my words touched her deeply. A tear slipped down her cheek and I let go of her throat, she coughed hard and my handprint was visible around her neck.

OLIVIA´S POV:

It was eight o'clock. I had agreed to go to the balcony with Valerio to discuss things, deep down I hope more happens.
Since the kiss I just got more attracted to him , and yes he is still a dick but something is pulling me towards him .
Maybe it's the sexual frustration between us? god it kills me.

I fixed my hair and the clothes I was wearing.
Why was I nervous?

"Nina?"

"Yes?" She replied.

I stepped closer to her and she was curling her hair.
"I'll go downstairs to make a phone call okay?"

She nodded quickly and I left the room. I didn't want to tell her that I was actually going to Valerio, that would only make her more confused.
I walked down the hallway to the end. I wasn't sure I was going in the right direction.

I heard two voices arguing with each other.
Who were they?

Wait...this sounds like Valerio's voice? I didn't recognize the women's voice, but I approached the voices silently.

I was now very close because I heard the voices very close by .

¨Baby come on it was a mistake you and I both know we belong together¨

And now I knew who it was , it was Jane .
Why were they on the balcony together?

I stayed behind the wall so I wouldn't be seen.
Is it bad that I overhear their conversation? I focused my ears to hear what they were saying.

"That's bullshit you hurt me and I'm never going to forgive you why don't you understand?" Valerio's voice sounded very angry and it almost scared me.

"Baby just give us one more chance." Jane's voice was urgent and almost pleading.

I decided to take a look to make sure it was Jane. I moved my heels a few steps closer to the balcony, moving as quietly as possible and I could now see Valerio and Jane.

oh my god .

He stood strong and looked furiously at Jane, almost as if there was fire in his eyes.
Jane on the other hand ran her hand gently over his face.

And suddenly my heart stopped at what I saw now.

They kissed each other.

What the fuck? My breath quickened and I saw that Valerio wasn't pulling away.
Sudden sadness and anger gripped my heart.

I can't stand this anymore. I quickly ran away before I was seen.

I felt betrayed and held up. Tears filled my eyes but I didn't let them fall.
I hid in the nearest bathroom. I closed the door and stood by the sink with a mirror hanging above it.
Looking at myself I wondered things.
Why did they kiss each other? Why does he say he wants me but kiss her? how can i be so stupid?

Believe me I'm not in love with him but this touched me deep inside. It mainly reminds me of my previous relationship. there was also another girl.
I am not a second choice, what did I expect? It is Valerio Rodríguez the biggest mafia - player.

I couldn't hold back the tears and they slid down my cheek into my mouth, I could taste the salty taste.
I deserve better than this, why does this bother me so much? We're not even together.

I just wanted to get away with Carla back to the time before this started. Away from him .

God pull yourself together Olivia.
I quickly wiped away the tears and walked back to the room where Nina was.

I took a deep breath and smiled and walked inside.

'' Hey liv ''
She looked at herself in the mirror , still curling her hair.

I sat down next to her. "Hey, you look beautiful." I gave her a soft smile.

She pouted and made eye contact with me. '' Aww you're so sweet thank you ''

She pulled the plug of the curling iron and put it away '' Are you okay ?''

I was shocked by her question, shit is there mascara under my eyes or something?
'' What? What do you mean?” I looked at her convincingly that I was okay.

She sighed softly and took my hand. "Listen I know it hasn't been easy with your father, you don't have to tell me what he's done to you but know that I'm going to help you through this whole thing okay?" Her lips formed into a smile.

I gave her a hug, which I needed.
'' Thank you Nina , I love you and appreciate you being there for me '' .

My skirt climbed up a bit and nina gave my leg a shocking look and stroked it.
''Oh my god is that a.....a scar?'' .

She rubbed a large cut that ran down my leg. I took a deep breath and felt the memory rise.
I nodded.
''Yeah, I think I was 12 at the time ''

I pointed to my neck, arm, leg, ankle, and other arm and pointed out several scars.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Her eyes widened and filled with pity.

''The thing is the scars hurt but healed, but the mental scars never healed''.

'' I completely understand why you want your father dead and can not imagine how you feel , but we will do everything we can to help you I promise you''

Nina spoke with pain and pity for me but I could not wish a better friend than her..........

The questions about Valerio still ran trough my head.
