Prologue

11th February 2022.

Bella's POV:-

Today is Promise Day.

I chuckled humourlessly trying to relieve the tension between both of us as I stood in front of him awkwardly. I lifted my gaze and I saw the same handsome familiar face, the face that I used to touch lovingly when he used to be asleep. His eyes, those were the same amber eyes which once held an intense love for me, and now they were empty. His pink lips, which once used to kiss me passionately and drive me insane, for the first time were in a thin line. A few hairs were falling in the sight of his eyes making him look undeniably unintentionally handsome. It brought back memories of when I used to stroke the same hair.

I looked into his eyes searching for an emotion, but they held none. His jaw was clenched. His fingers balled in a fist. It looked like he would rather be somewhere else than standing in front of me. He looked at anywhere me. I guess now my presence was irritating him.

"Happy Promise Day, Lord of Jealousy" I wished him.

"Bella, I think we need to talk." he said in a serious tone. He never calls me Bella except for the time he was either mad at me or want to talk about something serious. I was scared of what he was going to say. I have never seen him like this before. He was always in a cheerful mood but today, something feels off about him.

"Y-Ya su-sure." I tried to sound normal but my voice betrayed me. It came out weak because I was afraid of what he was gonna say next.

"I think we should end our relationship." he said. I think I heard something wrong.

"You did hear correctly. I said I think we should end our relationship." He repeated himself, clearing my thoughts.

I stood there powerlessly unable to do anything. I was still in shock. His words were ringing in my head on a repeating loop. My heart was shattered into million pieces by his words. A tear rolled down my cheek followed by another one. I was having a panic attack. I was so close to breaking down.

No Bells, not right now. Stay strong. 1.....2,..... 3,....4,....5,....6,.....7...., ....8,....9,...10.

I counted to 10 to get myself relaxed.

As soon as I get myself together, I brought myself to ask him with all the courage I would muster up.

"Wh-Why? I m-mean.....w-why? We both were h-happy .....t-together. H- having fun and en-enjoying our time with each other...I thought everything was fine and going great then Why? Did- did I do something wrong? I- I am so-sorry, I- I won't do an-anything a-again. Please...Pl-please don't leave me like this. Please don't end our relationship like this. What's wrong? Tell me.... I will try to solve the problem but please don't leave me. Give me a chance please." I tried to ask him between the sobs.

"Why? Why you ask? You have made my life so complicated Bella. I want a Simple life. I feel so suffocated because of you. I am not able to breathe freely as I used to. Our relationship, you are feeling an extra burden to me this days. So please leave me alone. And don't contact me again. It's over. I need time to think about all these things." he answered. At this point, I couldn't breathe. I felt betrayed.

"So my Lord of Jealousy will never turn green eye again?" I asked hoping he would say yes.

"It will, I still love you but need time." he answered walking away from me.

In the end, it was me who lost. The game of love I tried so hard to win was now over broken and fell apart into millions of pieces.

His words will always linger in my mind 'I still love you but I need time.'

I shouldn't have made a wrong decision back then. I could have prevented this matchmaking disaster.

I lost him. I lost my first and only love.

I lost Alex.
