A week later
Francesca admitted everything.
How she lied about being abused, asked Savannah to flirt with Lando, lied about that night.
Jordan did caught her having sex with Chase, but she wasn't drugged, wasn't being assaulted.
She was having sex with Chase because she wanted to.
Lied about it because she wanted an excuse why Elena wasn't Lando's.
Lied about being abused because she wanted Lando to feel bad for her, so he would fight for her again.
The thing that she didn't see was that Lando would've fought for her no matter what.
I genuinely think that she actually liked him though. I saw them together on vacation, like I said, you can't fake how they looked at each other.
Maybe she liked him a little bit too much.
She told Chase she only wanted his money, that's why she wanted to get married fast.
But I truly believe that she also wanted to marry him so he couldn't run away.
Which he never did though, he never ran.
Lando kicked her out, wanted nothing to do with her anymore.
But he was completely heartbroken, devastated once again.
Max stayed with him every day, to make sure he was okay. Which he wasn't, but he would get over it.
I didn't go to his place, until today.
We were laying on the couch together, he threw all her stuff in the trash, most of it was paid by him either way.
But he kept one picture of them together.
Just like Jordan did.
Why do they all keep one picture of her? I didn't really get that.
"I wish I never met her" he mumbled, looked at her picture and shook his head.
Max looked at me, shrugged a little. I bet he was like this all week.
He was worse than the first time I met him, he was pretty heartbroken over her back then too.
But this was different. He always had a little hope she would come back, that she would tell him it was all a mistake.
But that wasn't the case anymore.
He didn't want her to come back, didn't want her to tell it was all a mistake.
He had no hope anymore.
Max and Lando were watching golf together and honestly I couldn't care less about that.
I got up, walked to his balcony and laid down on one of his loungers, looking up at the stars.
"Hey you" Lando smiled as he laid on the lounger next to me. "Hi" I mumbled.
"They were nicer in Italy, weren't they?" He said as he pointed at the stars.
I chuckled. "Yes they were"
Silence fell over us after that. We enjoyed it, the wind on our skin, just laying next each other.
"Thank you" he mumbled. "What for?"
He shrugged. "All of it, saving me"
I said nothing for a while. I guess I was wondering why I did it. Why I kept pausing my life for him.
Or to figure his business out.
"You remember that day on the yacht? When you told me you would save me if I drowned?"
He turned his face to me and nodded. "Yes I do"
"I guess it was my time to save you from drowning"
"Well thank you for not letting me drown" He chuckled a little. "I guess I was right to hire you after all"
"You never paid me though" I chuckled. "What a scam"
He knew I didn't want his money. Well, at first I did, but at least I was honest about it.
"I paid for your ice creams" he raised his eyebrow with a smile.
"Fair enough, but learn how to swim now please" I nudged him a little. "You're not staying?"
I shook my head. "Not in Monaco at least, I will go to London with Max"
It was time I lived my life. It wasn't fair that I had to put my life on hold.
Now Francesca and Chase were gone, I could go too.
I could start my story.
After all, this was never really my story anyways.
