The billionaire's decision

Chapter 21

"Alaya dear what's wrong?" Mr. Bruce said when he noticed me rushing out the doors. "I'm....fine....but can you please tell Mrs. Smith I won't be able to work for her again, it was nice meeting you guys, Take care of yourself okay." I said quickly as I turned to hugged him and then I immediately ran out before he can question me further.

I knew from the time I heard Ethan's dad call me a whore I could never come back here again. Maybe I am a whore. I let Ethan do what he wants with me whenever I'm around him and I knew he had someone, well I didn't know they were actually together but I guessed it.

I mean a fricking Engagement party! Geez that must mean that there're really serious. I'm a home wrecker I'm so stupid. As I walked out the gate I broke down in tears again.

How could I actually think that he actually likes me. I'm just a nobody compared to that girl. I'm so stupid.

I pulled out my phone to call Arya but I remembered that she went to the beach with Mason.

I decided to walk home and just clear my head. I was ashamed of myself and most of all I was hurt.

When I reached home I saw that Aunt Carla had guest over so I just ran to my room and spent the rest of the evening crying and reflecting back on all my impulsive decisions I've made in my entire life especially since I've met Ethan.

*Ding*

"Hey can we talk?" I ignored his message.

*ding*

"You don't understand, please let me explain."

*ding*

"Please message me back*

I switched off my phone and spent the rest of the day drowning in my own sorrows. 

I deserve this, I knew better but still allowed him to play me like that. ______________________

I woke up the next morning feeling like I've been hit by a bus. My eyes swollen and red and my face was fluffy. I switched on my phone to realize that I slept late. I saw 12 unread messages and 9 miss calls. I switch it off again and organised for work.

"Hey- wait are you okay?"Chase asked as I walked into the restaurant. "Yeah I'm fine."

"You know you can't lie to me right, I see right through that." He threw his arms around me and squeezed me tight.

I felt like breaking down in tears right there. "Whatever it is, you'd be okay, I'm here-

He was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. I looked straight at his baby blue eyes. He looked like he haven't slept and his fist that was now clenched tightly was bruised up. His eyes were cold and he looked at Chase like he would kill him.

Chase released me from the hug and stood in front me like he was protecting me.

"You're not suppose to be in here." Chase said sternly.

Ethan was about to answer him when I stood in front Chase. Ethan's eyes met mine and it instantly softened. "Alaya- he started but I didn't let him finish.

"Chase don't worry he's not going to be a problem, I no longer work for him and he has no right to be in here so I'd just escort him back out and this would be over with" I turned towards Ethan.

"Can you just drop it, whatever you have to say to me I don't want to hear." I said not making eye contact with him.

"What you don't want your boyfriend over here to hear our conversation?" He ignorantly said.

A wave of anger came over me that I didn't know I had.

"Why are you even here, shouldn't you be planning your own wedding." I shouted at him.

"I didn't mean to say that, jealousy got the best of me, you wouldn't even give me a chance to explain anything to you." He said softly.

"Jealous of what!!!, you're fucking engaged!! I don't want to hear it, I was just your silly maid or would you rather me say whore.. who you could've just use when you were stressed, that's over now, it's time to find a new one." I said as I grabbed chase hand and walked out the changing room.

Chase laid his hand on my back and guided me outside. I could tell he had many questions but he just remained silent and as we reached outside he pulled me into a hug 

"Hey, I don't know what happened just now, but I want you to know I'm here."

Before I could respond Chase was pulled away from me and fell on the floor and Ethan threw me over his shoulders and pushed me in his car before Chase can even stand back up or before I could even say anything.

When I had time to process what was happening he already started the car and locked the doors.

"WHATTT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU, LET ME GO YOU ASSHOLE!" I shouted as I slapped him on his hand.

I could hear Chase pounding the doors, "LET HER OUT"

Ethan ignored the both of us and drove off.
