How did we go from_ "My life feels empty without you, and I know I'm not perfect, I know you deserve someone better, but I can't see you with anyone else, so I promise you, Dua, I will try to be better, just for you, I would do whatever it takes." His eyes were pleading, while his voice sounded desperate. To "Get lost! You're nothing but a pretty nuisance, you're just an eyesore!" He scowled, the love and warmth his eyes held for me now looks dreadful. *** Out of all my sins and mistakes, Haidar was my favorite and worst. From enemies to lovers our relationship blossomed in secondary school till fate decided to separate and reunite us in the university where our lives took a major turn. Everyone on campus told me to avoid Haidar and that he was bad news, but I didn't believe them, how could I have...?! So I shoo them away calling them liars and enemies of our so-called love. A love that got me destroyed, a love that killed the only person who genuinely love and cared for me, right now, so many evil thoughts crowd my head. With a tear-stained face, I stared at the three most heart-wrenching newsletters in my hands. My hands trembled as I tore one of the letters open, reading its contents, I gasped, imagining his hard gaze and harsh voice. "As usual have an abortion. Don't cross me, I will ruin you with a flick of my finger, I have everything with me." The bastard didn't even spare my reputation, he scandalously ended our 5 years relationship cruelly, making me a laughing stock. But does it end that way? It doesn't coz villains aren't born, they are made. *** Highest Rankings 🏆 #1 in Campus love story on 04-01-25 #1 in Ethiopia on 12-01-25 #2 in Mistreated on 04-01-25 Started on 20/12/04 ©2025
