CHAPTER 1

Today is Bernard's birthday and I plan to make it very special for him and it also our fifth anniversary .

Bernard and I have been dating for five years now and he has always been there for me , even though I have invested much more than him in this relationship, I understand that he's always busy because he wants a better future for us that's why he works very hard.

So I will really make today a very memorable day for him.After I finish decorating the room, I set the candlelight dinner and turn off the light in the whole house to surprise him.

She lie in the couch and wait for him. 30 minutes later, the door opens and the voices of a man and woman can be heard.

Baby when will you leave that bitch , you know that I feel jealous anytime I see you with her, Kirsten says as she kiss Bernard on the lips. Don't worry I will ditch her as soon as I get the money she promised to give me. You are aware that she disgust me a lot and she's too plain and ugly.

Tears starts to flow down her cheeks as they continue to kiss, she slips out of the house quietly to avoid them from noticing her. She slumps down and cry her eyes out .

Bernard and Kirsten continued to kiss and before they realised they were naked, they move to the bedroom to continue whiles not knowing about the candlelight dinner Cara prepared for him.

Her thoughts were broken by her ringtone. She smiled sadly and picked the call whiles look at the caller id.

Hey babes, how's the dinner going, is he back from work, has he proposed. Why aren't you talking. What happened.

Sob sob, Alice he is a cheat He's a jerk, scoundrel. He betrayed me, he told me that he loved me but it was all a lie. He said am plain and ugly . He called me disgusting. Sob sob sob.....

Hey calm down, don't cry again. He doesn't deserve your tears and pain . Tell me where you are now .

Am at the coffee shop near his apartment. Okay then wait for me, I will be there shortly.

Alice hails a cab and gives the address to the driver urging him to drive quickly. She reaches there by 10 minutes since her apartment is not that far from the Coffee shop.

She hugged her as soon as she entered the shop and started crying. He wasted my time, he broke my heart, he has shattered my heart.What wrong did I do, why me! I really gave him my everything, he was my world and happiness. Why did he have to cheat.

Don't cry over a jerk whose conscience has been swallowed by pigs.He will regret what he has done to you. He will receive retribution very soon.

Let's go back home and get some sleep.I know that he can never break you. The right person who will cherish you will come very soon.

They pick a cab home and she goes to sleep immediately she touches the bed. Sweetdreams bestie, I know tomorrow will be a better day.
