The Billionaire's Assistant

Chapter 40- Alone

After so much struggle I was finally able to push past Eddy with tears. I felt so hurt and belittled, why are the men coming into my life jerks? Maybe I wasn't enough.

Even when I got into my car he was desperately begging me not to go, but I couldn't stay, I just couldn't look at him.

I was in my car driving without direction, the tears just won't stop falling.

I parked by the side of the road as I rested my head on the steering wheel.

I had to go away from everyone for some days, I just had to clear my head so I wouldn't go crazy but there was just one person I needed to speak to, the only man who would always be there for me no matter what.

I wiped my tears as I cleared my throat so I wouldn't give away the fact that I was crying but I had a feeling he'd still be able to tell, but I had to try.

“ Hi Jordan," I said as I wiped the stupid tears that rolled down my eyes again. I had to remove the phone from my ear and took deep breaths before putting it back to my ear.

“ See who missed me," He said and I managed a small smile.

“ How are you?” I asked him.

“ Wait, you're not telling me I'm crazy for saying you missed me, are you okay?" He asked and I took deep breaths. He knows me too well.

“ I'm good just feeling a little sick," I said.

" Sick? Are you sure? You sound, I don't know, weird,” He said and I couldn't help but laugh.

" I just wanted to let you know I'll be away for some days, I'm going for a solo vacation, so don't worry about me when you can't reach me,” I said.

" Solo vacation? Where? Why aren't you going with Eddy?" At the mention of that name I felt my heart tug in pain.

" And by the way I thought you were supposed to be in New Jersey?”

" Gosh you ask so many questions, just don't miss me too much, bye, bye,” I ended the call before he could question me further.

I knew him and I knew that by the time he continued prying for answers I'm going to be opening up to him, I didn't want to think about what he would do to Eddy.

I wasn't going for any vacation, that was a lie, I'll just be in a hotel for some days, nobody will be able to find me there.

I started the car as I drove off, I wanted to go to a hotel that was far off, where nobody would be able to find me. I had already stopped crying, I had to stop myself because I couldn't risk getting into an accident because of my blurry tears filled eyes.

If I die, he'll go to his ex.

I parked my car and grudgingly got out as I handed the keys to the valet and walked inside the hotel.

I booked a room for a week as I took the key card and walked to the elevator.

When I reached the door with my number, I used the key card and opened the door, then I entered the room, closing the door behind me.

I knew I said I wasn't going to cry, I knew I said he wasn't worth my tears but being all alone here made me feel all the emotions at once and I found myself sliding down the door to the floor and I became a sobbing mess.

I'm so stupid, I trust too easily now see what I get. Maybe I didn't carry myself with high esteem, that's why a man could easily go to another in my absence.

I don't deserve such treatment but what did I do wrong?

( Third Person's POV )

“ Did you see her?" I asked from where I was seated on the couch as I slowly sipped on my coffee.

“ Yeah I did, she ran out of the house looking all devastated, poor soul, you should have seen her, you know I actually already kept a suit for their wedding, I'm wondering what happened," My spy said.

“ Well that's none of my business, all I care about right now is that she's in pain and that's just the beginning,"

“ Did you have something to do with why she was crying?"

" Doesn't matter if I'm the cause or not but when I start with her she'd wonder why she was born,” I said as I dropped the cup and got up then walked to the window looking down at the busy city.

This city where I had just one enemy and until I bring that person down I'll not rest, I've been watching from the shadows waiting and planning for the right time to strike and the right time is now.

" But hold up, I'm confused here, why are you so mad at her? Why do you hate her so much?”

“ You'll find out soon,"
