Possession

10

Her throat got choked with unshed tears of pain and shock.

The man, who was offering an engagement ring to her less than an hour ago, was already going to marry someone else?

Was he making a fool of her?

Were they both just playing with her heart?

Unknown horrifying assumptions were taking a toll on her head.

As her mind spun, her heart thudded hard inside her chest, she restrained herself from spilling even one tear from her eyes in front of the ladies standing in front of her. She gave a shaking smile to them.

She could not let herself appear so much weak in front of these people. She could not cry in front of them.

Being an orphan since birth, she knew how to do just that. How to control her emotions in front of strange people.

There were many people in the world who would not think even once before taking advantage of a weakling.

But she could get the hell out of there.

Out of this hell house and far, far away from those lying, fucking bastards.

"I.. uh.. Actually, I need to go." She said while looking towards the main door to avoid eye contact with them.

Her eyes were hurting. She wanted to cry. Desperately.

And before they could answer her or say anything else, she dashed out of there. She heard Aster calling out from behind her,

"Our driver is standing outside. He will drop you where's you want to go."

"Thanks." She forced the words out of her mouth and increased her pace and did not stop until she was sitting in the car.

The whole ride till her home was a pure torture. The words that woman had said kept spinning inside her head like a tornado, tormenting the hell out of her.

When the car reached its destination, she got out and ran straight towards her flat. Her fingers were fumbling while trying to open the door.

She cursed under her shaking breath and finally managed to opened the door and slam it close again.

Her back was glued to the door as she took deep, shuddering breaths.

Finally, in the safety of her home where nobody could see her or hurt her anymore, she let the dam break.

She had not have anything or anyone special in her life. Ever. And she never needed anything until they came and shook her world.

Couldn't God see her happy?

Her pain came crashing in form of anger. She turned back and her fist slammed straight in the wall just as the first tear dropped on her cheek.

Once. Twice. And then on the third pound, her fist was dripping in blood.

But it still was not enough to make the pain in her chest go away.

For the first time in all her life, she had someone to love and treasure but her fate was too dark and foul to take even that away from her.

Just as she lifted her second hand to pound it against the wall, to feel more pain than she was feeling in her heart, the door started pounding and frantic voices of Rush and Liam started coming.

So bastards got to know that their secret is out?

"Get the fuck out of this building." She screamed at them without opening the door.

She swiped the tears that had slipped down her cheek harshly with her good hand but new ones took their place.

"Let me explain at least, Eva!" Liam growled out loudly. "Please let us in, baby."

But she could not let herself open the door. She could not let them in because she knew that whatever she heard, about that engagement and Liam's fiancée was not a lie.

There was no point in explaining, he would still be the groom or maybe they both would. Gods knew what more big secrets they were hiding. Maybe Rush was even married to some bitch.

The thought pained her so much that her boiling anger once again came to surface and her fist collided once again with the wall while she cried out

"Get the hell away from me!"

"That's it." She heard Rush's strained voice and in the next moment the lock of the door was broken and both of them stormed right inside the flat.

"Goddammit!" Liam cursed and both of them immediately headed to her.

But before they could reach within touching distance of her she snapped angrily,

"Do not fucking come near me."

"Baby." Rush's breath was ragged.

Both of them were looking at the wound on her hand. The wound had now started to make a puddle of blood on the ground.

"Let's get your hand bandaged first and then talk about it, okay." Liam said in a shakily calm tone.

The bloodied hand was her's but the expressions on their faces screamed that it was paining them more.

"I do not want to talk to liars like you." She whimpered.

"Just. Let us. Take. Care. Of you!" Liam said through clenched teeth.

"Are you engaged to Aster or not." Eva asked.

"Hear me o..."

Liam started saying but before he could finish she asked in an enraged tone once again,

"Are you or are you not?"

He started into her eyes for so long that she started thinking he was not going to answer her. But then he said,

"I am."

This time the target of her bloodied fist was Liam's face instead of the wall.
