Denied And Unnoticed

CHAPTER 22

Third POV

Claire Solo was sitting at the far end of the hall away from her ex, she had seen him as he was entering and decided to watch where he would sit so she could sit furthest away from the man

He looked younger than his age, he was looking good generally speaking

His wife is sure taking good care of him alright

She sat on a chair of the many round tables waiting for her daughter to show up, she had convinced her to go to her friends since majority of the students were near their classrooms

Claire sent her away hoping she'd make some friends

She took out her itel A51 phone out, the only expensive thing she has ever bought in her life and only because she was forced to get it by her daughter

She smiled at that thought. Catherine was a good daughter, she was her treasure, her friend, her sister, her best friend and the only family she had

There was absolutely nothing Claire wouldn't do for her daughter, Catherine was her world

She switched the phone on and started playing candy crush to pass time

***

Victor's friend excused himself for a phone call leaving Victor alone in the sea full of people

He felt proud being the reason why some of the kids were getting good education, at least his money was being put to good use in other people's families

Unlike him, who didn't have one. It was sad that Victor couldn't spend his money happily with someone

Life wasn't fair for him

His eyes roamed around the place looking at people chatting and laughing oblivious of his stare

Suddenly his eyes halted when something caught his eye, or rather, someone

His heart skipped a beat when his eyes landed on a familiar person at the far end of the room

Could it be her?

She looked awfully familiar

She totally disappeared after he got married to his ex wife

He regretted not fighting for her, for his love. Instead he married the woman his parents wanted, he was never happy, but he felt he had no choice

The need to make his parents proud and happy was more than following his heart, worst decision he'd made in his life

Later he found out the woman only married him for money and with that reason being found, Victor divorced her after married for a year

He searched for his love right after leaving his traitorous ex-wife, but couldn't find her, he searched for years and years until he lost hope

Eventually Victor stopped looking for her

She completely deleted herself from his world, from his life. Why couldn't she though, what he did was clearly unforgivable

Anyone would likely do the same

Victor became miserable when he realized there was no hope of being with Claire , he drowned himself in alcohol until he got sick and got a good scolding and lecture from his parents

Took him a couple of weeks to get himself together

After he recovered from his illness he drowned himself in work and became a workaholic, he would work for hours and hours and sometimes slept in the office since he had no one at home to go to
