Chapter 1 Break-Up
Tomorrow is my boyfriend Leo‘s birthday. I flew all the way to surprise him, but ended up surprising myself instead.
Getting off from the plane, i hopped on to the cab I rented. Unfortunately, the cab got into an accident and I ended up having some minor scratches on my arm. The police helped send me to the hospital to get my injuries cleaned and treated. I was about to call my boyfriend when I saw a man and a pregnant lady walking towards my direction.
The lady was obviously 4 to 5 months pregnant.
However, it wasn‘t the lady who caught my attention.
The man beside the pregnant lady, who is now looking at her with care and love, is my boyfriend Leo.
Seeing how Leo is taking care of her carefully, I‘m pretty sure they are in some sort of close relationship
I walked towards Leo and calmed myself, asking: “What are you doing?”
Leo looked surprised, he must be thinking why I would be here.
The lady looked at me with a smirk, then I suddenly understood what is happening.
“Leo, answer me.” My tone was getting harder.
Leo didn‘t answer me immediately. Instead, he glanced at the woman beside him and pulled me to a side where there‘s nobody around. I pulled my hand away and screamed: “What is your relationship with that lady? Is it your child inside her?”
His furrowed his brows, eyes filled wit guilt. I have known him for 18 years, I know what he‘s thinking with just one look.
“Kinsey, I‘m sorry.”
Leo said these 3 words. These 3 words were like knives cutting my heart.
He felt as if he hasn‘t hurt me enough and added: “Kinsey, let‘s break up.”
I stepped back a few steps, I couldn‘t believe what he just said.
Then, I gave him a hard slap across his face. He didn‘t dodge and instead accepted the slap.
“You......you!” I couldn‘t take it anymore and my tears started rushing out my eyes.
We started officially dating 3 months ago, yet the lady is already 5 months pregnant. This means that he confessed to me 3 months ago at the same time knowing he made another woman pregnant 2 months earlier.
It‘s my fault, I was the foolish one.
He’s someone that I love so much. He treated me the best in the 18 years that we know each other, but yet he lied to me, played with my feelings. I couldn’t describe the anger that i‘m feeling right at this moment. I raised my hand and slapped him again.
Like just now, he didn’t dodge.
Instead, that lady walked towards us and slapped me hard.
“Me and Leo were together before you, who gave you the right to slap him? You’re the third wheeler.”
Is that woman telling me that I‘m the relationship wrecker instead?
I covered my face with my hands, Leo was also shocked that this lady slapped me.
“Lia, what are you doing? This is between me and her, go back first!” Leo shouted at the woman.
Lia noticed Leo getting angry and tried to leave, but I pulled her arms, not letting her go and said: “Nobody leaves until this is settled.”
“Alright, I have no problem telling Ms Jennie Gomez who‘s the third wheel here.
Seems like Lia is not an easy woman too.
“Enough! Shut up, Lia.” Leo growled at the lady.
“Jennie, I‘m sorry, I‘ll explain everything to you slowly. Which hotel are you staying at, let me send you back.”
“I want you to explain now.”
Leo didn‘t move away but Lia stepped in front of him to protect him.
I looked at him. He was very worried about Lia. He carried her up and rushed towards the emergency room with his hands full of blood.
