Wounded Hearts

Prologue

I quickly ran down the stairs in excitement ready to meet the love of my life, the man who I have waited for all my life. He promised me he will come back for me, he told me to wait for him, which I did for 5 years and finally that day has arrived.

I nearly tripped over the stairs but I didn't care if I hurt myself, I was craving for one look of him, I was in desperation to see his face again after 5 long years.

With a wide smile I walked through the hall way and was ready to greet him but my smile died down at what I saw. I heard my heart shatter to pieces at what I heard next........

"Congratulations on your wedding, son. You and Melissa look absolutely gorgeous together" Mrs Williams said looking at the couple with adorness and love. I leaned next to the wall, feeling weak with fresh tears falling down my red cheeks. 'Married?, he was married?'. I looked at him with immense pain and betrayal. 

Suddenly his eyes locked with mine making my heart freeze. I saw a flash a pain in his eyes but he quickly hid it with a flash as he replaced it with coldness. He looked at me with a blank expression as if he didn't care, he didn't care about how I felt. 

I waited for 5 long years for him. I remained faithful, loyal to be pure for him and here he comes home with a woman, not just any woman but my best friend by his side claiming to be married. I looked at my friend is disgust and betrayal. She looked at me and gave me an evil smirk.

'Why?'

"I'm really upset you didn't tell me. How could you get married without us knowing?. I thought you and Faith had something going on. You have seriously surprised us son" Mr Williams said with a frown. I stood at the back with tears pouring out of my red eyes. My eyes were locked on him and only him. 'Was my love a joke to him?, was my love a game to him?'

'Why would you do this to me Atlas? why?'
