MARRY ME NOW

"Well, I don't love you. I never loved you, Tessa."

"You don't mean that., I said. It came out as a whisper. "I fucking meant it. Sign the papers and fucking leave my house." He gritted out.

The glare he gave me scared me a lot. With a shaky hand, and took the pen, hoping he would stop me from actually signing the paper.

My hand moved on the paper, creating my signature. That was it? Were we no longer together?

I can't stay here anymore, no. I couldn't, and I rushed upstairs to the room I was sharing with him, packing my stuff together.

More tears flew down my eyes, and soon I was done packing. I went out of the room, and I noticed a smirking Sara behind a door.

I still can't believe she had done this. I looked away from her and walked out.

What was I going to do?

I have no family, yes, my parents are alive, but the last time I saw them was when I was 6-10 years old.

My dad was an abusive man, and he abused my mother and me. After some time, he left, and we never heard from him again, though some of our friends said he was dating a very rich woman.

My dad had left when I was six years old, and my mom left when I was ten, and from what I had heard, she, too, had run to her lover.

The day she left, I was home alone for a day until my aunt came and took me to her house. It turned out my mom had pleaded with her to take care of me. But taking care of me was something far from what she did. I became a slave to my aunt.

I couldn't go to my aunt. She won't accept me back. How could I have been so foolish? So blinded.

I got outside the house, and taking a glance at it, I walked away. I had to look for a place to stay.

Where? I have no clue, and I could book a hotel room... I sighed frustratingly before stopping a cab.

"Nearest hotel, please., I said, entering the cab. After driving for 10 mins, the cab stopped. I got out and gave him his money.

I walked into the hotel. "How much for a night?" I asked the bartender.

"250 dollars, ma'am." She replied. Oh god. Where else could I go this night? It was late, and it looked like it was going to rain. A cold breeze swept through the hotel. I shivered as the cold breeze touched my skin. The amount was much, but hotels around here are pretty expensive.

Suddenly it started raining. Could it get any worst? The place started to get crowded.

I should book a room before all the rooms are taken. "Here., I said, handing over to her my credit card.

After slotting it, I typed my pin, and she gave me back the card. "Sorry, ma'am, it's my job to see you to your room, but there are lots of people here, and they need to be attended to, but here is a map to your room. It's on the 5th floor."

"It's okay, thank you., I said, taking the map from her. I dragged my luggage with me and walked to the elevator.

Entering it, it moved immediately. It moved for five minutes and stopped. Am I on the 5th floor now? It felt like I have been in here forever.

I looked at the little button which said 3rd floor. What the hell?

A man walked in. His heavenly smell filled the elevator. Jesus.

He is sinfully handsome. Don't know if he's even real. Of course, he's real!

I gulped, looking away from him. He didn't even seem to notice me. After 4mins, the elevator stopped. Thank goodness.

When it opened, there were four men in suits bowing down. At who? Me?

Oh, they were bowing at this sinfully- gorgeously- handsome- sexy man. Do you have to the point that out? Who wouldn't? "Boss." One of them said. He walked out, going in the other direction, and the men in suits followed behind him.

I don't know why, but I forgot all my problems for the 5 minutes I took that ride with him.

The elevator moved again. I was on the fifth floor! Oh god. It was moving towards the sixth floor!

How big was this building?!

After 2 minutes, it stopped. I sighed and walked out, and I had to find an elevator ride back to the fifth floor.

"Ha!" Someone shocked me, making me scream. My body shook, and I held my chest before looking at the guy who did it.

He was a handsome guy who wore casual clothing. He smiled, showing his adorable dimples. He was so handsome. Not as handsome as that guy in the elevator, though.

This isn't what I should be thinking, and I just got divorced!

But seriously? Was I comparing strangers now? "Hey, I'm Jake; nice to meet you." He said after I calmed down.

"I'm Tessa... Nice to meet you too." I replied.

"What's a beautiful damsel like you doing here all alone." He said, and I blushed.

"I was going to the fifth floor, and I might have stayed in the elevator a bit longer and..." I said, and he laughed. I don't know why, but I laughed along with him.

"You're so pretty." Oh god. He wasn't helping, and my face was getting redder.

"Thank you, do you know the way back to the fifth floor?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's this way." He said, pointing to an elevator door. "Thank you," I replied.

I walked to the elevator, but there was suddenly red light. "Elevators have been shut down due to the heavy storm; we hop-" a lady's voice said. The other words didn't pass through my ears.
