Chapter 48

Jeremiah:

What am I going to do?? Leona doesn't want anything to do with me. She hates me! I lied to her! I lied! I broke her! I broke her! Will she ever trust me again??

How can I explain it to her? That I love her but the deal is more important? That I am a gangster and I made a deal with someone and I need to break things off with her?

I have to choose between her and the deal!!!!

"Hey, brother! Sister-in-law didn't look fine earlier, where is she??" That word touched my heart! But I guess my brother will never get that opportunity to call her like that ever again

"Where is she, Xavier?" He stood in front of me and wiggled his eyebrows

"She left. She is never coming back. There is no wedding so don't call sister-in-law, she will no longer be one", I have to be strong, I can't break down in front of him

"What do you mean man?"

"I mean she saw me fucking Brittney and telling her that I love her. She broke things off! I am the reason", I looked at him and he had that shocked look

"Brittney is back?" I simply nod,

"Well, I guess you try and explain things to Leona. I think it's time to reveal who you really are to Leona. She is a great woman, brother, and I won't like it when you lose her", I laughed and looked at him, he sounds like Jersper, I miss him, I wish he was here

"I don't deserve her, and I think it's for the best", I left him standing there and went to my room.

Brittney was still naked!

"Why aren't you dressed yet?"

"Well, we didn't finish what we were doing. Now tell me who the fuck was that woman??"

I'm sorry Leona.

"She is some bitch I work with at the hospital. She is Xamina's girlfriend and she wanted to talk to me about him", I'm really sorry Leona

She looked at me

"Good because if she was your girlfriend, I would have sent my boys after her!" That's just an empty threat

Brittney will never do something like that. She is a bitch, a bitch that is a coward, she will never hurt anyone physically but she can hurt them emotionally

"Xay, the deal is far more important, so please don't fall in love."

But I'm already deep in love with someone. I love Leona. I love her

"Do you want to carry on with what we were doing or tonight?"

I'm no longer in the mood

"Tonight", she kissed me, her lips are perfect in their way but they will never match my woman's lips.

Leona:

"Lee!!" I lift my head and saw all of them through my teary eyes. I feel light. They say to draw yourself into alcohol if you want to forget all your problems. It doesn't work, I didn't forget about him! I didn't forget about his betrayal! I didn't forget about his lies! His cheating! He is a bastard!

"Alcohol!!"

"Yes!" My breath stinks! This alcohol ruined my breath!

"Leona?? Did you... Drink all this alcohol??" I looked at her with an innocent face, I pouted then shook my head

I didn't drink this. Did I? Oh God, I did?

Look at these empty bottles.

Did I? Oh no! I did

"I don't know whether it's me drunk or V has four heads", she has four heads, that is funny

They all exchanged looks.

"Leona! Alcohol is not the way", Landell scolded, making me stand up and look at them

"B-b-but you said it's h-helps y-you to f-forget y-your problems?" I staggered while stumbling forward

"No, we lied! Alcohol doesn't help, it's bad for you, it destroys you", Jessy scolded

Why are they all scolding me?

"Can I s-say s-something??" I was still holding onto Landell when something was pushing itself up my throat, wanting to come out.

"Lee are you okay?" Landell shakes me lightly which made me puke! I bent down and released everything.

"Fuck Leona, that is my favourite shoe! You gonna pay", said Tristan as he brushed my back gently.

I know he doesn't mean that, I bought him these shoes as a present

"Here drink this", I drank the water that she gave me

I stood up

Why is this room spinning?

My head is also paining

"I'm sorry guys! Sorry, Tristan, I didn't mean to ruin your shoes. I can pay for them", I looked at Violetta she was shaking her head lightly

"Guys, you always said that alcohol helps you to forget your problems... Well, can I tell you something... That's not true... You lied! You lied!! Just like him!!" I started crying and that too out loud.

They all lied! They are bad!

"It's okay Leona, we lied, we're sorry", he hugged me

"Leona you said he lied to you, who is he??" Eric asked

I laughed. I laughed at him. Who is he? Who is he talking about??

"This drink is bad! It made me vomit! It made me vomit! It tastes terrible. Why do you drink it?"

"Leona, who is he? The man you are talking about. Is it Xavier???"

"Don't say his name! I hate that man! I hate him!!" I cried on his shoulder

"Xavier?? What did he do???" Jessy and Violetta asked at the same time

"Is there still gonna be a wedding??" Tristan asked

I laughed and looked at him.

"Do you see a ring on my finger?" I showed them both my hands and smiled. They were shocked

"Don't be too shocked! This was never meant to be. I and he are done!"

"Leona you are drunk!" I saw tears rolling down her face and laughed

"Why are you crying? It's not like you are the one to be blamed for our break-up. Your brother just couldn't keep his dick to himself!"

"Lee I'm sorry", she hugged me

"We broke up Jessy! He broke my heart! He lied to me!!! He lied!!" I shouted

Jeremiah is bad! He's a big bad wolf!

"Don't cry, Leona. He is at fault. Did he apologize??"

"It's been two days, he has not apologized. I don't need his apology. I don't need it!"

He can shove it up his tight ass!

"Aphile did you let him explain??" I looked at Violetta who was talking

Did I? Did I let him explain?? I don't remember!

"I don't know", I shrugged

"Okay. Will you talk to him?" She asked

"Nope! I don't want to talk to him!" I don't want to talk to him, I want to leave and go back to my mum

"Aphile will you give him another chance?" Her voice sounds so down

Chance? That is never going to happen

"Nope! I'm done giving chances."

"Guys I'm leaving today. I'm going back home. I don't think I will come back here", I looked down at my feet.

I know my decision is a haste one, and I should have informed them. I just need my mum and sister. I need to be back home. I want to go away from them, especially him!

"But Lee, why make a hasty decision?" Landell asked

My decision is not hasty! I thought about it today and I'm going back home

"Lee, what you're doing is wrong! Don't punish us for his stupid mistake!" Violetta shouted furiously

"Aphile, you don't have to go. I'll talk to him!"

"I don't want to talk to him!! I'm done with him! I wanna go back home, and I'm leaving! Jeremiah and I are done. I'll be leaving in three hours!"

Did I buy a flight ticket? Did I?

"Aphile you don't have to go because of him!" He sounds like he is about to cry

"I'm not going because of him. I want to go, I miss my family. I need my mum!"

"We'll miss you Aphile", Tristan and Violetta did a side hug with me

"Come on Landell, Eric and Jessy, I promise I'll come back", they joined our hug

"Come on let us help you pack", I cried

"I've done that already. I just need some time alone for now. I promise before I go I will spend some time with you guys", I sniffed

"We gonna miss you. Please take care of yourself"

"We love you"

"I love you to guys"
