*Part two*

Ria didn't know if she had a fetish for men in a suit or is it because she also wanted to wear one that is for a woman in an interior designer's team.

Micheal, with his innocent smile and gentlemanly gesture, approached her, they became friends at first but as days and months went by, that friendship became deeper. She felt that she's falling in love with him. He proposed to her, not as his girlfriend but his fiancée. She was overwhelmed by her feelings. When Micheal offered her help to be in a company that might be her stepping stone to showcase her talent and asked her to live with him she didn't hesitate anymore.

At that time she thought she's the happiest and luckiest woman in the world. Finally, she found a person she could lean on in good or bad times. For her Michela is not only her boyfriend but her fiancée too. Having him in her life, what else a country bumpkin like her can ask for?

Although she was a bit disappointed when she entered the company Micheal recruited to her because she couldn't be a part of the interior designer's team, Ria still stayed positive. She is already content to see it from afar while doing all the chores they asked her to do in the company.

Who knows, maybe one day she will be noticed with all her hard work and might get an offer to be a part of that team.

But everything crumbled down when Mr. Charles offered the proposal and exposed what Micheal said about her to her boss. It only means that he thinks less of her, providing her with her current job is like a donation. The main reason why she's working there like an all-around worker is all because of him not because she's incapable of pursuing her dream.This left a very bad impression on her and the truth always hurts. She never thought Micheal was the kind of person who would look down to others or belittle them. That's not what she saw in the beginning that she met him and she felt betrayed by his word. Now, not only that she was also abused by him. The last person that she would never think will ever hurt and make her feel worthless, the one she relied so much on with her life is just an imaginary person he created to hook her up. That's the truth.

What he said last night in his drunken stupor reminded her that not only Micheal looked down on her capabilities as an amateur interior designer but he also looked down on her in bed. She never thought that she would one day wake up with a realization that the person she thinks who would stand beside her proud and happy of who she is was actually the one looking down on her.

All her plans for the future together with Micheal were scattered just like that.

It hurts to know that Micheal was just using her to release the tension in his body.

There was no love that she thought there was before when she was still blinded by his sugar-coated mouth and all of his undying promises.

She's the only one who thought they love each other.

She didn't know that her eyes were brimming with tears.

Tears that break her heart into pieces.

She bit her inside cheeks and wiped it away with the back of her hand. She wouldn't let this jerk see how deeply the damage he created..

Swallowing the lump in her throat so she can finally breathe and think clearly again.

Her blood boiled and wanted to vent her anger and frustration to him. She wanted to ask him for the last time.

Why her?

She was too naive to believe that this man lying in the bed is a good man but in the end, Michael just proved to her that he is a stupid junk.

For a few seconds, She stared at him like it would be her last.

The hurt, betrayal, disgusting feeling enveloped her mind.

Snapping out of it, she reminds herself that she still needs to go back to the office and tell her boss that she's accepting his offer.

She needed it now, especially with what happened last night.

She will never ever sleep again in the same bed with him!

Her heart was aching but at the same time, she was furious too.

She decided to take a shower to wash away the dirty feeling that she felt when memories of last night flashback again in her mind.

The way Micheal disgustingly talks about her and how boring she is in bed keeps echoing in her mind.

When the flashback came to that part when he forced her to do 'that thing' all the hair in her body started to rise up.

She silently cried, wishing there's someone who could hear her out and ease the heavy feeling in her heart.

She scrubs her body, brushes her teeth repeatedly.

She washed and re-rinse a few times before she felt satisfied that she's now thoroughly clean.

Heading outside she quickly took her office uniform hanging just behind the door of their room, she wore it on in a rush and snatched her bag.

She proceeded to the door making sure she didn't forget anything before heading out of the condo unit.

Stepping outside, She was surprised to see a woman standing next to their door.

By the way, she looked at her, Ria felt something is odd about the woman.

"Hi, can I help you?" she asked, very intrigued.

She can see the woman looking afraid of her but at the same time, there's this hint of determination brimming in the woman's eyes.

"I.ahh.I'm sorry to bother you but may I know if there's a certain name Micheal Cruz living in this unit?" The woman's stuttering voice heightens her curiosity.

She can't explain why but her heart starts to beat faster and she feels her adrenaline rush to every fiber of her body. Her intuition is telling her not to answer the lady in front of her but staring on those deep brown eyes she saw as a reflection of a broken woman. how can she have the heart to decline her question when she looks so pitiful in front of her.

"Yes, he lives here, may I know who I am speaking with? My name is Ria, and you are?" Although the feeling is quite awkward she still decided to be polite.

" Oh? Hi, My name is Daisy, nice to meet you Miss. Ria." She offered her hand and I accepted it.

" So, Ms. Daisy, may I know why you are asking about Micheal?" She could see the crease forming in Daisy's forehead when I didn't claim Micheal as my boyfriend and instead just call him by his first name.

" Aren't you Micheal's girlfriend?" The woman asked, probably testing the water.

"Was, but now not anymore Ms.Daisy, i hate circling around would you mind telling me who you are?" I asked while biting my inside cheeks. She was feeling uneasy from this situation but she thought it's better to know what's happening than leave and think about what if, what might be her reason for being here looking for her now ex-boyfriend.

Yes, after what Michael did to her last night she decided to break up with him.

She believed that 'A man who loves his woman will never make her feel ashamed of herself, will never do things to hurt them nor belittle them because a man that truly loves his woman will always find a way to make their woman feel happy and secured.

In her mind, there's a pure eagerness to end things between her and Michael. She knows deep inside she will never forgive him from what he did to her.
