One More Chance novel Chapter 169

"And when are you going to stop chasing someone who's already taken? When are you going to wake up and stop believing that Luke is my boyfriend, that he will never love you no matter what you do, and that he is mine?"

But to my surprise, she suddenly burst out laughing in front of us.

"Whew! That's kinda funny, I swear!" She even wiped her fake tears much to my annoyance. "My dear Sam, I'm not here for Luke, I'm here for you because like I said, I'm concerned with you. When are you going to believe me that your beloved boyfriend cheated on you? He's now left you, I mean dumped you because he's now married to someone else!"

"What the hell on earth that this bitch is talking about?" Dana turned to me, frowning.

"Don't mind her, she's just lying!"

"Oh, how I wish I am just lying,"

"Get out!" I just said nicely instead of yelling at her.

The word 'cheated' left an impact on my now confused and aching heart.

"Get out, Lucy," I don't know what I can do to her when the anger I've been holding already bursts out of my chest.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him the truth? Or... why don't you investigate so you will know that what I'm saying is true? Oh, wait, I have some proof here," She smirked as she pulled a brown envelope from her bag. "Here, you can---"

But she was stopped from speaking as Martha quickly snatched it from her.

"Jesus Christ!"

My eyes followed Martha's movements when she opened the envelope and the photo of Luke kissing that same woman in the newspaper in public made me gasp in shock. A sharp shooting pain crept into my chest that I almost lost my balance if it wasn't for Dana who grabbed my elbow and supported me right away.

"See? I told you, didn't I?"

"Get out," I tried to swallow back the lump that had formed in my throat and immediately blinked away the tears as I don't want her to think she's won to insinuate pain in me and ruin our relationship.

"Now, you believe me that Luke is not meant for you---"

"Didn't you hear me? I said get out, didn't I?" I threw her a death glare this time.

"Whoa! You're not going to kill me, are you?"

"She already said get out so, get the fuck out, bitch, or I swear to rip your body here right now! And yes, if she couldn't kill you, then I will, so get out!" I guess Dana couldn't hold it back any longer.

"Fine! I'm going out now," But she didn't leave without giving me a wink and a demonic laugh.

*******************

"Argh!" I screamed right after I entered the office and slumped on the couch while crying.

It was only then that I let out the sobs I had been holding back earlier.

It was only then that I screamed the pain out of my chest.

It was only then that I realized why he stayed there and hasn't called me these past few days.

And it was only then that the word 'cheated' rang in my ears... again.

"Sam..." Dana and Martha came running to my side and held my shaking hands and shoulders.

"H - He did it again... he did it ... again!" I choked on the last word. I really don't know how to explain the pain I was feeling right at that moment. It seemed like millions of needles were simultaneously piercing my heart and sanity at the same time. It's so hard to breathe, it's so hard to think straight.

"Sam, let's wait for him, so we can ask him if those pictures were true," Dana said tucking my loose strands behind my ear.
