Aspen Anderson, the heir of Anderson Enterprises Holdings Inc., had everything he wanted in just a snap of his fingers, including women. However, he just wanted her, Carolina, despite the fact she was a married woman and fourteen years older than hi...
I decided to go to my room as I could not eat my breakfast. The smell of the food made me feel nauseated. I didn't feel well today. I had been throwing up since I woke up. I also felt tired; I barely got up from the bed this morning.
As soon as I closed the door behind me, the wave of nausea flooded over me. I covered my mouth with my hand and rushed towards the bathroom. After vomiting, I washed my face. When I looked at myself in the mirror, my face was pale. I placed my hand on my stomach and went back to my room.
I decided to lie down. I didn't feel well.
I heard a knock on the door.
I leaned against the headboard as I said. "Come in."
The door opened and Elva walked in, giving me a warm smile. I gave her a lazy smile.
"How are you?" She asked as she sat down beside me on the bed.
"So so." I muttered.
She bit her lower lip, staring into space. She was preoccupied. There was something.
"Are you fine, Elva?" I asked, giving her a questioning look.
"...I am sorry, Serena." I gave her a questioning look. "But I did it for your sake." She said, giving me an apologetic look.
I sat up on the bed as I looked at her, puzzled. Why did she apologize?
"I talked to Aspen... I asked him to stay away from you." She said.
I looked at her speechless. What? I opened my mouth and closed it as I didn't manage to say anything. My mind got blank.
Aspen broke up with me, because Elva asked him?! His sister's one word was enough for him to break up with me?! How could he do it to us, to give up on us easily? I felt offended and heartbroken more than before. Didn't he feel anything for me? Did I mean nothing for him that he gave up on me without thinking what I would feel? Just his sister's request. And he ended everything.
I pulled myself together and looked at Elva who was waiting for me to tell something. Now she had to give me an explanation as to why she was cruel to me. She knew I loved Aspen like crazy. But why did she ruin my relationship with him?
"What?! Why did you tell him that?" I snapped at her as I got up.
I was pacing back and forth in the bedroom, ruffling my hair angrily while trying to understand why Elva did it.
"I didn't want you to be heartbroken." She bit her lower lip. "You know Aspen. He...just spent his time with you. Nothing more. It is obvious from his decision. If he loved you, he would not give up on you easily. And when I told him to stay away from you, I added if he didn't feel anything, then he should stay away from you." She said, giving me an apologetic look, making my heart break again and again. "Believe me. I did it for you." She added.
"Thanks! Look, how happy I am." I snapped at her, giving her a mocking smirk.
"Serena..." She gave me a sad look.
"Could you leave? I want to be alone. I need time to digest that my best friend went behind my back." I said bitterly, emphasizing the words best friend.
"Serena..." She gave me a begging look.
"Please." I added firmly. She nodded and left.
I grabbed my phone and sent a message to Aspen, asking him to meet up with me in Central Park.
After getting ready, I grabbed my bag and left. When I arrived, Aspen was here waiting for me.

"Are you fine? What happened?" He asked, worried as I approached him.
I breathed deeply as I said. "I know what you are hiding from me."
His eyes widened as his face got pale. He gulped.
"You....know?" He muttered.
I breathed deeply as I asked. "Why didn't you tell me that Elva asked you to break up with me?"
He raised his eyebrow, puzzled. He breathed deeply. "Oh... yeah, about that."
I raised my eyebrow at him in a questioning expression. "Is there something else I should know?" I asked.
"No. No, nothing else." He shook his head."Yeah, we talked about it." He admitted. "But I didn't break up with you, because she asked." He breathed deeply. "She was right. I don't like you...we had to stop it. So I ended our relationship." He said.
I felt dizzy. He talked like he gave up buying some clothes or going somewhere. He didn't see how bad I felt, nor he didn't even care how I felt. He just used me and threw me away like he did with other girls. All his words, all our moments, his affectionate touches, kisses, all of these were a big lie. My eyes welled up. I pursed my lips, trying not to cry.
"I am sorry." He said, giving me an apologetic look and left.
I watched his leave as tears ran down my cheeks. I didn't feel well. Suddenly, my head spun. I placed my hand against the tree for support.
He doesn't love me. He doesn't even care about me. I was nothing to him. Just some stupid girl who has entertained him. How could I be so blind that I didn't understand it? He must have been thinking what an easy catch I was for him. Some stupid naive girl who he got into his bed easily. Dammit! I gave him my virginity. I was keeping it to a special someone. I thought that man was Aspen for me. But I was a real fool.
I wiped my tears off my cheeks and walked towards my car in slow steps. As I arrived at the mansion, I went upstairs. Suddenly, I felt dizzy. So I sat down on the stairs.
A few minutes later, my dizziness passed. I took all my strength and stood up, placing my hand against the wall for support.
