LOVE LIKE NO OTHER

broken heart & guilty eyes

ELIZA'S POV:

I woke up, feeling everything so peaceful. I struggle to open my eyes, sleep still driving me crazy. I see Eric sleeping like a baby. His calmness was so serene to watch as his eyelashes made him look so beautiful.

I wanted to feel fresh, I laid a kiss on his forehead and rushed to take a bath. I picked a normal dress to wear. I was making breakfast in the kitchen and I see Eric walking down the stairs, he was so in sleep yet he managed to look so cute.

I wish him a good morning, he replies 'likewise', I giggle and ask him to join for breakfast. I made some toasts & pancakes.

ERIC'S POV:

I see her in a very simple dress but damn, she is gorgeous. She placed a plate before me which was full. "You really want me to eat all this?!" I questioned she just nodded her head in yes. I started eating, it was not bad. I finished eating it and went back to my study room to do some business.

I get a call from my secretary and he informs me that my men are still looking for the culprit. I was so annoyed that my men were fit for nothing "I pay you for the work you guys do, not for this bullshit" I was angry now. It was getting in my nerves that my men are not capable of protecting me and I'm not capable of protecting Eliza atleast we can't even find the traitor.

I hear a knock on my door and Eliza walks in as I'm in call shouting at my men. I see fear in her eyes and she tries to walk away, I stop her and she stops at the doorway. I approach her slowly my face still cold and numb. I say "Never ever come into this office, don't bother me while I'm at work, I can be a worse person and a devil you have never seen, it will further damage your emotions" she looked at me like a lost puppy and her eyes glistening with tears. I shout out of nowhere "Understand? Me?" She was so shocked that she didn't believe what I just said, I scream now making her jump "DID YOU UNDERSTAND?" She said 'yes' in a very low tone. "Now get out of here and do not disturb me" I said in disgust she didn't wait for anything else and rushed out of the office.

I was annoyed by my men that the rage was uncontrollable on any person. I hate what I did to her but it was necessary for her, to keep her away from my little secret but I was feeling guilty.

Eliza's POV:

I was so happy that he liked my cooking. I went to my room and tried sleeping on bed but I was bored to death. I thought of asking Eric if he is free to watch a movie, I was now heading to his office.

I open the door and hear Eric spitting fire through phone at someone, Wrong timing that's what I thought in my mind and was to return back but Eric stops me and asks me to come back. "Never ever come into this office, don't bother me while I'm at work, I can be a worse person and a devil you have never seen, it will further damage your emotions". I was on the verge of crying, his eyes so red and in anger like he hated my existence. I was so miserable at that point I didn't understand the sudden change in him but I kept myself steady and didn't shed a tear. "Understand? Me?" he said but I was in lost of words cause it was so unbelievable to me, he was so bad to me. "DID YOU UNDERSTAND?" he screamed through his lungs making me jump and little, I felt a shiver run through my spine. I reply him 'yes' in very low tone.
"Now get out of here and do not disturb me" I didn't wait for anything else. I followed his words like a robot and practically ran to my room.

Was he hating me? Am I disgusting to him?
What did I even do to make him angry? Shall I leave?

So many questions running inside my mind as I ran to my room and shut the door and remembered to lock it. I slid into the bed and starting weeping so badly. His words went through my heart hurting it so badly like knives piercing through my heart, his words were bleeding hatred, was it towards me?

I didn't know when I fell asleep crying all night. I had no dinner and I was having no strength to make any food.

It was a sunny morning but gloomy one to my heart. I drank some water from the glass near to my bed and stayed in the bed thoughtless till I hear a knock on my door.

I didn't open it, the voice came from the other side "Miss. Eliza you're asked to come down for the dinner as guests are gonna arrive soon" I wondered who was she, from her voice I figured out that she was old. "I AM FEELING PRETTY NOT WELL, I WILL REMAIN IN MY ROOM SO PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB ME, I WOULD LIKE TO REST" I shouted so that she can hear. "Sure ma'am, please have some good rest. Please do let me know if you need something" she said and I can hear her footsteps fade away.

It doesn't matter if I'm at the dinner or no as I'm not close to Eric or his family. I wondered what is this party all about all of a sudden. I went back to sleep in curiosity after having water. I think I heard knocks on my door but I was unable to really pay attention to it in my sleep, maybe it was for my dinner.

I woke up and didn't pay attention to the weather today and rushed to washroom to clean myself up as I was on bed the whole previous day.

Eric didn't even pay attention to my presence and asked me about my health as I didn't show up anywhere in the house.

I wondered about where my life is heading towards and I fill the tub with water and lay in it thoughtless and slowly I feel my muscles loosing strength and blackness owning my mind space. It was cold and I felt finally at peace, the dark and cold feeling made my mind & body go numb.
