Cutting him off
Veronica's POV
I was livid with anger, my heart heaving as I tried to throw on a few clothes. He couldn't do this. He wouldn't do this, not after taking away everything I had. He wouldn't take away the money I had too.
The whole house was silent as I went down stairs in an attempt to not wake anyone up. I wondered if perhaps I would get in trouble with alpha Lloyd for leaving the house so late.
My hands shook as I waited for the taxi I had called earlier. He knew this would get to me, he knew this would make me want to see him. That is why he had texted me the address of a cheap restaurant to meet him immediately
I felt the urge to throw up again but I resisted, managing to sit through the car ride until I eventually arrived at the spot he asked to meet.
" You look good. I see the alpha is taking care of his new slut very well" a voice said from behind me as I sat there, impatiently drumming my hands on the table.
I turned quickly to face his scowling face.
" Is that what that loose mouthed woman told you? That I'm now with an alpha?" I asked him.
I was not surprised. I had expected her to anyway.
He took a seat at the other end of the table, looking at me, the smell of the taco driving my stomach into a churning mess.
" Was she wrong? You know I had thought it would take you a while to date someone else. But it took you just four days.
What? Does he give you a lot of money? Is that why you are with him?" He asked.
I wanted to defend myself, to yell at him and tell him how little he knew about me, but I refrained myself.
That was not why I was here. I was not here to complain. Not now.
" I'm not here to sit and listen to your judgements. Unfreeze my account. You and I both know that you have no access to the money I have in there" I said.
He gave a small chuckle as though I just cracked a joke.
" No it's not. Every single penny you have in that bank belongs to me, because you earned it from the company. And the company belongs to me.
In fact you are owing me almost three hundred dollars now, because you used my money to pay for your hotel room. But don't worry, I'm lenient enough to leave that for you." He said.
" You won't do that. You and I know that money was all mine! What is your problem!" I yelled now, my manners going through the roof as I looked at his unsympathetic face.
He got up slowly, looking at me with a menacing glare.
The whole restaurant was empty and even the workers seemed to be no where to be found. I had sat at a dark corner and I knew then that he could easily kill me and get away with it.
I began to regret my actions slowly, wondering if it would just been best to let it all go.
He drew closer until my back hit the wall with a low thud, making me gulp.
" My problem, is the fact that you are such a whore, and I regret every single penny I have spent on you, every single thought I have had about you, and I wish I could take it all back" he said.
My eyes were beginning to water with each vile word he said. To think that a tiny part of me still saw a future with him, that small part that still hoped that we could somehow sort out differences and get back together.
But that look in his eyes was all I need to let me know that the man I knew was gone, and I could never get him back.
My lips quivered as I picked up my bags to leave, my whole body still solemn with the shock of the man he had turned out to be.
" I'm not done talking to you!" He said, his voice gruff and the anger radiating off him in waves.
I turned back to face him, my face now still
" But I am done. I should have never come here, all you wanted to do was humiliate me and you never had any plans of giving me back what belongs to me" I said to him.
" So what? You think you can just walk out of this door? I will make your life a living hell in this country. I would make sure everyone knows how filthy you are." He said.
I was done listening to him at the detriment of my health, so I turned around to leave, but I looked back again, giving him a final once over before saying
" This would be the last time I ever see you again. I would never meet you and I hope you never look for me. That card you took from me? Keep it. Have a good life with my best friend" I said and with that, I turned around, walking out of the door with the remnants of my heart shattered.
Even though I knew it was getting later and it was dangerous outside, I was not in a hurry to go back into the house.
I sat outside, and on the curb with the darkness as my only audience, I cried. I cried for the love I have lost and for the pain I knew would follow me for the rest of my life If I had his baby.
I felt light headed as I walked into the house, my feet wobbly.
The lights were still turned out and just as I turned to leave, I heard a voice call from the darkness.
" Where did you go?" And I jumped, my bag falling to the floor.
