The Girl Who Broke Me {CULLEN #2}✓

16

I have given up on love. Not because I don't want it. Hell, I want to be in love. But I'm just done getting hurt when people say things they don't mean, when people forget every sweet little thing I did for them, when people change as if it was all joke and when people break my trust, every single time. I'm just done with their cunning love games.

ERIC'S POV (Near Past)

"Did you tell your family about our engagement ?" I held my phone against my ear. I walked to Daniel who was my driver-cum-bodygaurd. He took sleeping Tyler from my arms.

Stay here. I'll be quick. I mouthed and he gave me thumbs up.

"I don't know how to spill the news. I mean they think of me as a person who doesn't do relationships and I'm nervous Eric." She replied. I was pissed. It was really not helping. What was the meaning of staying in a relationship which was kept as a secret for three years now.

Three freaking complete years ! I was raged. Did she even consider me as her man ? She does. She does, there's no doubt. She's just too nervous. But she did say yes when I bought her a ring and it meant commitment then why the effing hell was she afraid of breaking the news ? Why she didn't want us to go public ? I never understand the stupid reason of family.

"Eric ? Are you there ?" Her voice brought me back to reality. I hummed in response.

"I need some time baby. Please." She said in her most needy voice. Time ? Huh ? Even after three years of togetherness ? How much time girl ?

I was not any bad man with bad history. My looks could give some wrong ideas about me but I had to start my career as a model and because of the lethal accident I suffered when I was young left some scars on my body due to which I made friends with ink. But to be honest I had quite clean reputation even cleaner than Roma's. Thinking about her incapablity I was more pissed. I didn't know where was this thing between us going.

"I don't know whether you value me and my love. I guess you don't love me enough or may be you're not sure with me to confront your family. I mean c'mon I too told my family and they were happy. I don't know what's the point in being together when you can't even wear my ring in public." I was fed up of waiting. I was fed up of her excuses. I loved her with everything I had. I tried to give her all of me afterall she was always there in my ups and downs.

"Eric ? Baby what all are you talking. You know I love you so damn much. Baby my granny is not well and everyone is stressed. I can't make myself to bring up the topic." She replied.

Another excuse.

Alright.

"Fine then we'll talk when you are done telling your family about us. Bye" I was about to enter papa's hotel's club. Night was really busy and on top of all he threw a party on my new launch success.

"Eric. Eric. Baby. No ! Listen to me once. I am on my way back to home and baby I promise this weekend we both will announce our relationship public. We'll go to my family and tell them." She said. And I was hearing this for nth time.

"Baby just two days and we'll be telling them." She said. "Fine" I replied pissed.

"Are you again in club ?" She asked and I mentally facepalmed myself.

Fuck the loud music.

"No ! I just wanted to see my father once before I go home." I replied.

"Be sober. I won't say much" She said and I deliberately disconnected the call. As if I'm gonna listen to her.
