Chapter 3 I loved you

"what do you have to say? I don't have the whole time to waste" She said and folded her hands in her chest waiting for his response.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you and making you feel awful"

"I'm sorry for cheating on you with my so-called Bestie"

"I'm sorry for not believing you when you told me that she had feelings for me"

"I'm sorry for..."

"For what else? " Her words interrupted him leaving him speechless to continue.

Bella looked at him now and he saw the tears in her eyes struggling not to fall.

" I loved you with my spirit and soul but you betrayed me for a woman whom I warned you about severally about"

Bella's tears gave way and it felt like he finally broke her heart.

" but you know what, I have learnt to forgive you for what happened but I will never forget how you betrayed me" Her words were strong and firm. It simply meant that she was not in love with him anymore.

" Henry , please I have moved on and I advise you to do the same or else you will only hurt yourself the more" Bella said her final words to him and stood up to open the door for him signalling him that it was time to leave.

" I'm sorry once again for hurting you and wish you best of luck from now on " Henry said and with a heavy heart stood up and walked out of her apartment.

Immediately she closed the door, he covered his face with his palm and cried at how stupid he was to lose such a wonderful woman like Bella.

As soon as Henry left, she sighed in relief for the second time.

" Finally, I'm free" She said to herself and went inside the bathroom to shower .

All through the time she was in the bathroom, she thought about the Old man and what business he wants to discuss with her.

"oh how I wish to be a billionaire?"

She suddenly remembered her younger brother Peter and her plans to call him after she has gotten home

She took her phone from the bed post and dialed Peter's number. It rang for a while before he finally answered the phone.

"Hello sister" His gentle voice was heard . Bella smiled at how her brother's voice could put a smile on her face almost immediately .

" Hi handsome, how are you doing?" she asked him as she balanced well on the bed and faced the ceiling.

" I'm fine sister, I should be the one asking about you especially since You just broke up with that Jerk Henry last week " Peter was obviously worried about how she was handling the break-up.

Peter was never in support of her relationship with Henry and was furious when he found out that Henry had cheated on her but he was glad that the whole relationship didn't work out.

In their previous calls, Peter could not stop cursing Henry and how much he wanted to punch him on the face.

Peter was only two years younger than her but he loved his sister very much and respected her especially if it concerns her personal matters.

" Forget him, let's talk about you and how school is. I know that you may be far away but I want you to know that I will always be here for you and keep in touch " Bella said.

Bella was not happy that she could not see

Peter always but it was all for the betterment of both of them especially Peter.

Peter is studying medicine in New York City. Well that was the university that was very famous for producing the best of medical students. While she studies Accounting in California where she worked to fed for both of them.

"I know you care a lot about me and my school but don't you think that you are starting to forget to care for yourself and happiness? Sister please, I want you to worry about yourself more from now " Peter's heart was tearing at how much his sister worked and also go to college at the same time in other to cater for both of them.

"Don't worry about me Peter, I just want to focus on our studies and continue to be the best medical student in your school. And please don't keep any girlfriend for now" Bella advised him.

Peter laughed until eyes were in his eyes. His sister was indeed protective of him.

" I don't have a girlfriend sister so calm down for now" Peter said in-between his laughter.

Bella smiled and said" bye for now, I need to go to bed already "

" ok sister, Take care okay?" Peter said and the call went off.

Bella sighed I'm relief and turned off the light of the room only leaving a small space for the reflection of the moon to lighten the room up.

"Tomorrow is another day" she thought and dozed off.

--------By morning 🌞 🌞🌞------

Her alarm rang like it was possessed waking her up from her sleep. She weakly switched it off and her eyes gradually adjusted to the light in the room.

She yawned a d walked into the toilet to handle her business. She came out minutes later and saw her phone ringing out loudly.

" who could be calling her so early? definitely not het boss because she was off today"

It was a new number so there was no name attached to it.

She answered it and the person's voice was recognized immediately.

" Old man Perry"

" good morning sir" She greeted him respectfully.

" good morning Bella" she heard his excited voice over the phone .

" I want to tell that my driver will be coming over to pick you up from your place at 7:30 this morning, so please get ready" The man truly called like he said he was going to. That business he wanted to discuss most be very important then.

"Ok sir, I will ready by then. Thank you sir" She replied with a smile.

" Bye for now" The old man's voice came again and he finally terminated the call.

She screamed for joy and came down from the bed.
