Chapter 4 Sweet Seduction:::

Manuel gaze burned into the ground, he stood there with one hand on the door lock and the other holding his suitcase.

Daphne stood there anticipating with bleeding heart, dried tears on her cheek and fresh ones sitting in her eyes.

The anticipation surrounding them was forceful, Daphne needed him to hold her up like he always promise he would.

Manuel rolled his lip together, lifted up his face and skip right over her.

Daphne heart flipped and crashed to the bottom of her chest shattering into a billion shreds as he turned the handle of the door and yanked it open.

"No"

He shut the door with that as his last word kept ringing in her head, " NO"

The moment the door closed, Daphne collapsed onto the couch next to her, crumbling into herself as her heartache ripped down the length of her body.

Her loud cries echoed across the room penetrating every open space of the apartment along with her frantic breathing as the atmosphere became a mixture of grieving moans.

Alone with her sorrow, she crawled like the pathetic animal.

She had turned facing the couch and up against the front window of their apartment, tearing the curtain of the window open she wanted to see the love of her life for the last time.

To see if he was outside feeling remorse about leaving her, having a rethink, running back into the apartment laughing telling her it was all a joke.

She wanted to see him as he drive away from the life they had built together like it was nothing.

As her watery gaze found Manuel, he was throwing his suitcase into the trunk of a red sport car, every sob wracking her body ceased as she saw the car.

She knew the car!

She sees it everyday at Manuel's office.

As the piece of familiarity fell together in Daphne's mind she popped her head outside of the driver side.

Rhemy!

Manuel opened the passenger side door and rhemy flashed him a warm smile that curdled the acid in her stomach.

They both kissed and disappeared into the car together as Daphne wat her them drive away into the sunset as the new romantic character of what was going to be a fairy tale and happily ever after.

In that same minute Daphne realized she had become the vallian, she suddenly felt sick, she was the outcast of her own story.
