Chapter 2

Chantal POV

I'm currently attending an event that my dear cousin hosted, this is just a celebration of his accomplishment

I stared at him as he gave his speech on the stage, I then roamed my eyes all over the room and spotted my girl talking to some guy I don't know

I furrowed my brows and walked toward them

"Ah, I'm sorry I can't do that"

My girlfriend laughed awkwardly but to my surprise, he pulled her closer by the waist

"Let her go asshole"

I pushed him roughly and pulled my girlfriend towards me, she then gave me a reassuring smile and gripped my hand

"Chantal that's enough, let's go"

She whispered and I only glared at the guy and walked away like what she said, when we arrived at our table I sighed and scanned what she was wearing

"This is why you were hit on, your back is exposed and you have a fucking slit on your dress, why are you dressed like a-"

"Like what? Like a slut?"

She cut me off and gripped her wrist underneath the table making her wince, she began to tear up but I ignored that

"Don't start here Y/n, don't embarrass me! If someone asks who you are just tell them were business partners"

I whispered and I let her wrist go when I felt someone tapping my shoulder

"Hey, ladies! Y/n, can I borrow her for a moment? I'm just gonna introduce her to my guest"

It was my cousin, Y/n only smiled gently and nodded her head

"Sure, have fun"

She replied and my cousin dragged me to another table leaving my girlfriend alone

"This is Chantal Monserriti, my cousin that I was talking about"

My cousin introduced me and I just shook their hands and gave them a small smile

"Nice to meet you"

-

I walked back to my table smiling because I gained another good business partner, I sighed in relief but when I arrived at my table she was nowhere to be seen

I checked my phone and there were no messages

"Where the hell is she?"

I mumbled and just sighed in defeat then went home, after I took a warm shower I heard my phone ring

"Hello?"

"Chantal, where are you?"

It was Y/n and her voice was shaking

"Home" I replied plainly

"Pick me up please, you left me at the party"

She said and I sighed in frustration

"I'm tired Y/n, just take a taxi or anything... I'll send you money if that's what you want-"

"I think someone's following me,  please Chantal, I'm scared"

She sobbed and here we are, I know she does that when she wants to spend time with me, she always does this... what a nuisance

I ended the call and turned my phone off, she won't stop pestering me until I give up, I lay on the bed and closed my eyes, and let the darkness engulf me

-

I furrowed my brows when I heard knocking on the door, I sat up and walked towards the door with my brows furrowing

"Fuck, what is it?!"

I asked and when I opened the door it was the police

"Are you Miss Monserriti?" They asked

"Yes, what's wrong?" I asked confused

"I think you need to visit the hospital"
