1522 Words
** DAN'S POV ** 'I looked down at myself and found that I had wine splashed all over me and stinging pain in my cheek made me realize that she had slapped me, SHE SLAPPED ME HARD in front of the whole damn restaurant. I know it was my fault and I know I took it too far by insulting her when it was clearly my fault but my pride would not allow me to accept it.' I glared at the manager and spit the words "I WANT HER OUT OF HERE." The manager looked down and nodded as he knew what defying me would cost him. I looked at this woman in front of me whose eyes were filled with disgust and scoffed at her, it was then that I decided to make her life a living hell. I looked back at Irina who was still feeling uneasy so I ordered my driver Tom to drive us down to the nearby hospital and accompanied Irina. I let Irina go back in her car while I had my driver drive me down to my mansion, where I knew Max my son would again be waiting for me. I reached the living room to find Max sleeping on the couch I picked him up in my arms and took him to his room and tucked him in his bed and kissed him goodnight. Looking at Max reminded me of Lana, he has her eyes, a beautiful shade of blue which haunts me till day. This is why I don't spend much of my time with him coz every time I look into his eyes, I am reminded of the hurt she caused me with the way she ripped my heart out and stomped on it and destroyed it making me the man I am now. I dragged my feet to my room to take a shower and changed into my track pants and a t-shirt. The moment I hit the bed that women's (the one that dared to insult me) face made its way to my mind. All I wanted to do was to see her in pain, see her break, and beg me for forgiveness, to see those eyes which were filled with disgust cry with pain and shame. I wanted nothing more than making her hate the day she was born. I couldn't sleep that night so I ordered my men to have her looked into and to have all the information on her on my desk within 48 hrs. I woke up a bit later than usual got freshened up and came out of my room to find Max still sleeping peacefully in his room. I cringed in irritation when I saw Leo in my office, he looked ready to do my head in "What?" I asked with irritation Leo - "Irina told me what happened." Me - "And?" Leo - "Don't you think you took it too far this time?" Me - "Do you think, a nobody like her, can do what she did and escape without any consequences? What I did to her yesterday was just the start of a very long and very painful life ahead." Leo - "Dan don't do anything stupid. You have your business to take care of and an image to keep up. You said she is a NOBODY so let her be a nobody." Me - "Oh I will let her be a NOBODY you don't worry about it. Now can I get back to work I have a company to run and a new project that needs my attention." what Leo doesn't know is my new project is to destroy her. Leo sighs with disappointment and goes back to his cabin. I spend my morning going through all the files. I receive a call from my men who are gathering information on that woman. They tell me where she lives and that she has an interview to attend today they also inform me of the name of the restaurant. I call the restaurant owner and ordered him to reject her also I had my men threaten the apartment owner to give her 15 days to vacate and find a new place.   **EVA'S POV**  I looked at the retreating back of the man who ordered my manager to fire me without there being any mistake of mine. My manager came up to me and looked at me apologetically I knew that instant that I will not be coming back here ever again. I got my stuff from the locker and left for my apartment. I took a much needed hot shower to relax my mind but it doesn't seem to be working. My day had already been bad and the incident at the restaurant just made it worst. I slept thinking I will have to start looking for a new job. I woke up thinking I will not let anything affect me at least for today and went through the paper to find a few restaurants having open positions for a dessert chef. I called them and they asked me to come by noon for an interview. I psyched myself up while the doorbell rang. I was not expecting my visitors this early in the morning. Someone was being impatient as they kept on ringing the bell annoying me. I opened the door only to find me ex-colleague and my best friend Joan who barged inside and hugged me tightly in her embrace. Joan - "I missed you, Eva" Me - "I was only fired yesterday and you saw me literally like 10 hours back" Joan - "Hey is that any way to talk to your best friend? It was not the same without you in the kitchen for most the night yesterday. Now lift your ass and get ready let’s go shopping and you are helping me pick out a gift for my nephew's birthday." Me - "OK. But I need to be at Rev's I got an interview with them at 3 PM." Joan - "I will drop you thereafter shopping don't worry." I got ready and Joan drove us down to the mall. We went to the kid's store, while we were going through the clothes there was a little boy who was shopping with a lonely look on his face and eyes filled with longing to be loved there was something sad about him but that changed when a woman asked him what he liked and the kid snapped at her insulting her, the scene unraveling in front of my eyes was very much similar to what happened to me yesterday. The boy again had a sad look once the lady left him alone. I walked up to him saying that I needed his help to buy a nice gift for my friends’ nephew. The boy looked at me annoyingly Boy - "Why do you need a kid’s help to shop? And why should I help you when you are a stranger? And what do I have to gain by helping you?" he bombarded me with so many questions. I kneel down to his level and introduced myself and told him "Well now you know me so can we be friends?" Boy - "OK. We can be friends." Me - "Thank you." Boy - " I will help you but on one condition." Me - "Ok what is your condition?" Boy - "you have to promise me that you will stay with me till I finish my shopping and spend time with me at the kid’s games section" Me - "Sure, done. So, what’s your name?" Boy - "My name is Max." We finish shopping with Max. The little boy was brimming with joy and happiness was visible in his smile as we made our way to the games section. He made us play every game jumping with so much enthusiasm. When the time came for us to part ways his smile immediately was replaced with hurt and sadness. He hugged me tightly before letting go of me. I went to my interview at Rev's and started receiving a cold shoulder from the moment I entered. Rev's owner came up to me and said that they had just filled the position. I put a fake smile on my face and walked out making my way to my apartment. My apartment owner stopped me as soon as I reached the entrance and informed me to vacate in 15 days as the apartment is being sold to someone else and that they wanted to move in within 20 days. I was shocked and all I could do was curse my luck for the way things were turning out. My legs were as heavy as lead and were rooted to the spot I never thought that my life was going to a plunge into an endless pit filled with darkness.  What I did not realize was this was only the beginning of a storm that was brewing waiting to hit my life shattering me breaking me to the point of no return.
