memories

forced to sit with andrew alone salem stared out the window quietly pretending she was some where far away.

seeing her listless face andrew felt his heart tighten.

This was the girl he had loved for a very long time. he had always been a picky person when it came to people but despite their vast differences salem was his favorite.

it pained him greatly to see her act this way towards him. he told himself a thousand times she was just a gold digger. she was just a good lay and that's why he had grown attached to her but the real truth was she held his heart in her hand, crushing it easily each time she showed unwillingness towards him.

scared to lose the chance to tell her, andrew cleared his throat and began voicing his thoughts "salem I know you hate me now, I understand I hate me too but I miss you so much it hurts.

I dont care if you want to hit me, I will even let you kill me for marrying Alanna just promise you will stay with me even for just one day, please".

His usual calm demeanor broke and it took all he had not to cry. salem was silent the whole time trying to stop herself from hugging him.

inside her heart was beating rapidly but she knew she had to stay calm. she can not fall for mens tricks anymore.

after a few minutes she finally looked up with a watery smile. these words were what she had been secretly waiting for in her heart but it was too late....

"Andy, you have always been cruel but this is just too much for me. still I dont hate you. I love you so much I feel like dying but you have a wife and I will not be known as the mistress just to stroke your ego. you dont love me. your feelings are just of lust.you made it clear when you married her. so please. please just stop all this"

salem stood up holding in her sorrow the best she could.

the already cold room grew even chillier as andrew watched her walk out the room. hardening his heart Andrew's eyes darkened as he finally decided. ' if she wants to run away from him then he will make it to where she can never run away."

tomorrow he will file for divorce and if salem liked it or not she will be joining him at his beach house in shenal.

it was a quiet place without many people especially during the winter. if he took her there she would have no way to escape him or receive help. he was sure that after a month at most she would be happy to be with him again and forgive him for the past. he will spend all his time pampering her, forcing her to remember their good days like he did.

As salem walked down the hall corridor she passed matilda who was just returning. in her Gucci silk top and her dark skirt she reminded salem of a model. cool and elegant.

she was beautiful with honey brown hair and amber eyes just like her brother. salem could still remember when matilda was a cute little thing in pigtails that admired her dancing skills, always begging to be taught.

now she was 20 with eyes full of malice towards her.

this saddened her much more than her harsh words "dont come around again slut. I'm tired of you ruining my family's lives." not bothering to reply, salem nodded to show she understood then continued walking down hall. in her heart she could only sigh sadly. the world had never been fair to her so what should she expect?
