Deluded

Chapter 44

Evangeline's P.O.V

Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours and night was getting colder by passing seconds but I was numb to it.

He's not coming, but why can't I still accept it? I'm only making it harder for myself. The man whom I thought I found my prince charming turned out to be lying to me from the very beginning.

He made a promise that he would never let me cry, he would never leave me but where is he now? Behind the bar, getting punished for his crimes.

How could I not know earlier that he's in the mafia? How did I fell in love with a man that's two-faced?

Standing up, I decided to head back home with a heavy heart and determination.

Reaching the house, I ignored the maids that were staring at me with pity, but I tried my best not to get affected as I head straight to my room towards my closet, where I started to get some of my clothes out of my wardrobe.

Taking my suitcase at the top of the wardrobe, I started to shove my clothes inside as I cried my heart out and as I tried not to back down from what I'm about to do.

I had enough. I'm thankful for this lifestyle that god gave me but I still can't help but wish it was all different.

21 years of enduring everything, bottling up every single anger and pain, but I don't think I would be able to do it anymore. I had enough.

I have to get away from here until I get my sh*t together. I knew, I was being ungrateful but I had to do it for my own sanity. I was slowly losing myself trying to please and make everyone happy that I forgot I have to make myself happy first before spreading it.

After packing up, I wore a jacket and took out my savings that I have been saving up for the last few years, which is enough for me to start a new life in a new country.

Are you sure about this, Eva? A small voice kept on nagging at the back of my head but I was determined to do this even though I don't really have any solid plan.

Opening the door, I stopped to check if my father was around to stop me and when the coast was clear, I stepped out with my suitcase trailing behind me and just when I was about to descend the stairs, a hand stopping by my arm made me halt on my step as my heart stopped beating.

Oh god. Please don't let it be my dad. This is my only chance of getting away and I don't want it to go wasted.

Slowly turning around, I saw my mother with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her, the tears that somehow stopped a while came back again, making me fall into her chest sobbing like a baby.

"Shh, calm down, my baby. It's alright" she whispered against my ears while rubbing my back, but it only made me sob even harder.

"I know that you're going to stop but I won't listen this time, mom. I won't" I mumbled as I pull away from her.

I know running from your problems won't solve anything but sometimes you also got to leave everything behind and let them regret taking you for granted. Let them realize that you won't always be there to tolerate everything because above everything else you also have your limit of tolerance.

"No, I won't stop you baby. I won't" she sobbed as she placed her hand on my cheek as tears fell from her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't even protect you. But be safe, okay?" She added as she placed a wad of cash and my passport on my palm smiling encouragingly at me.

"Don't let them find you until you're ready to come back" she whispered in my ears, making me nod my head at her as I bid my last good-bye.

After finally being able to get out of the gates successfully without anyone seeing me, except for the guards that looked at me so suspicious but stayed silent however.

Releasing a breath, I looked back at our house, wondering to myself why never thought of this idea before when Rico came running to me out of nowhere.

"Where are you going, Eva?" he questioned while I kept my mouth shut not saying anything as I kept my gaze anywhere but to him.

"You're running away?" He asked once again, making me just nod my head.

"Why?" He inquired, making me sigh. "Okay, come on" he added, as I looked at him confused.

" I'm coming with you" he said as I shook my head no.

Hell no, you're not.

" You wanna go alone? Okay go but trust me you'll be back here within 24 hours and I can bet on that but with me, I can help you. I know a place. Trust me." he exclaimed.

He's not lying though. I know, my dumb *ss would get caught easily.

"Okay, fine" I said as I let him take my suitcase as he led me out of our property.

That's it. I'm leaving everything behind, but still, deep down, a part of me was still wishing I could say goodbye to Abram or just see him for the last time, but my ego was smart enough to not do it.

I was just a bait for him for whatever my father did to him. He was just extracting his revenge and he has succeeded.

But, finally I'm leaving with one thing in my mind. I was deluded.

Another update!!!
