Back to when Cadence was Seventeen

Cadence's POV

Yesterday had too much happened to me, I didn't even have time to tell Rachel about everything that had happened. I should tell her when we met, especially Sabrina. I couldn't believe she had done this to me.

She's such a snake.

I was rage whenever thought about that snake and her mum. I wish they would disappear from my sight forever. I winced in pain when I felt my face ached, and I just remembered that my biological father had slapped me more than twice!

That bastard! What had that lady done to him? He believed her over me. He was such a Pathetic man!

I felt something warm snuggled closer to the crook of my neck. I smiled when I opened my eyes, Danielle still sleeping peacefully next to me. Her tiny arm still wrapping around my neck, and I gently caressed her head.

I gingerly removed her arm from me and settled her in a comfortable position for her to continue to sleep. She stirred a little and continue to sleep.

I left the bed and took out my phone from my bag. I frowned when I saw my phone no message or a phone call from Rachel.

What happened? She normally would call or text me.

I sighed as I check the time on my phone, it was written 6 am. Then, I took out the purse from my bag and checked for money. I sighed in relief under my breath after I check my purse. I still have the remaining pocket money for at least a week.

For saving my money, I had to walk to school. Fortunately, it is only 20 minutes away from here by walking distance. I still have time to get ready before school. With that, I hastily took my stuff and get ready.

I was leaving after I have done. While I was walking in the hallway, I was engulfed by the aroma of brew coffee and cooked pancakes. I just realized I didn't eat anything since was kicked out by that bastard.

Ignore the good smell, I briskly walked and left as soon as I could. But, I was stopped by Dana before I walked past the kitchen.

"Good morning, sweetie. I just cooked breakfast for us. Come to have a seat." Dana smiled warmly as she indicated the empty seat.

I returned a smile at her and said in genuine, "It's fine, Dana. I'm grateful you and Duncan let me stay over here. I'm not that hungry and I-" before I could finish my stomach betrayed me. It growled out loud enough for us to hear.

I was dying in embarrassment.

I faced down in blushing as I heard Dana chuckled as she gently tugged my elbow to pull me to the seat. "Come on, just eat, sweetie."I nodded my head in obedience as I slipped into the seat.

I took the breakfast already served nicely on a plate. I grabbed the silverware and took the food. Once the delicious pancake reached my tastebud, I started attacking the food like there had no tomorrow.

Dana was pouring the dark coffee into a cup and served in front of me. I quickly thanked her with my mouthful of food.

"Take your time, sweetie. I'll drop you off at school after you have finished." she offered as I tried to swallow the mouthful of food to respond to her.

Somehow, I have overly swallowed the food cause my chest was tightened a little. I swiftly took the coffee to drink, but the cup was too hot and burnt my lips. I gave up and hit my chest lightly for letting the food swallowed down my throat.

"Take it easy, sweetie. I already decided. So," she trailed off and put another slice of pancake on my plate which was having my remaining half-eaten slice of pancake.

"If you don't allow me to fetch you to school, I'd add one more slice on your plate again," she said sternly and I knew she was joking.

I smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Dana."

She smiled warmly, "I told you, once you're staying at my place. We are family."

I nodded my head again "Thank you."

She chuckled with shook her head "Don't mention. Take it slow, now it's still early, Sweetie. I'll wake Elle up." she said with a full of gentle and motherly tone. Then, she stood up and gently patted my shoulder before she left the kitchen.

I took the hot cup of coffee to blew it before I took a sip.

***

I was in a hurry to brush past the people in the school hallway. I was heading to our favorite locker spot to meet Rachel. She had been quiet since yesterday until now. I froze when I finally reached our spot.

I couldn't believe what was happening right in my eyes.

Rachel was talking with Sabrina, but they acted in affection. Rachel gently brushed Sabrina's hair and slipped behind her ear. My tears were brewing in the rims of my eyes when I saw their linked hands.

It can't be...

What was happening? Why everything was changing fast? Since yesterday, everything was turning upside down. I couldn't believe it! I stayed calm and took a deep breath.

Rachel won't do this to me, she won't.

Those were friendly gestures, nothing much. I started walking towards them, and every step approaching them was getting heavy for me. I should at least give Rachel a chance for an explanation.

"Hey," I smiled but my voice contains with a hint of sadness. Rachel's smile disappeared when she heard my voice. She turned to me and gave me a cold look like a stranger. I still force a smile and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Rachel shot me a fake smile, "Nothing wrong. Yes, what are you looking for, Cadence?"

"What the hell is wrong with you, Rachel? We don't know each other anymore?" I scoffed in disbelief as I glared at her.

She remained her cold face "We're just an acquaintance friend. Nothing more right?"

She was getting ridiculous, and my patience was running thin. I shook my head in disbelief and said, "What do you mean by an acquaintance? Are you having amnesia?"

Rachel fakely chuckled, "Look, we're over, since yesterday you never call or text me."

That was such a bullshit!

"What?! It was just because I didn't call or text you, you're breaking up with me?!" I spat at her in anger.

Rachel laughed at me like I was a fool making fun of her. She raised one of her hands to stop me, "Let me rephrase it. We were never a couple before. We were just a pair of hook-up partners. We have agreed not to expose our relationship here, remember?" she said in bitchy tone.

Right, don't ever date a cheerleader in school.

"You're unbelievable! We have agreed not to expose our relationship here because we don't want to expose our sexuality!" I yelled by knowing our attention was alert the others, but I don't care anymore.

She chuckled as she clicked her tongue, "You're so naïve, Cadence. I was only with you because you were rich. Unfortunately, you're nothing now."

I flared my nose in furious as she staring at me slyly and added, "That was you care about people know that you're a lesbian. For me, I don't even care."

This girl stood in front of me become one of the bitches in my eyes. I hate her and wanted to punch her face right now! She's such a pathetic bitch!

I felt blood boil my vein when I watched her pulled Sabrina closer and kissed her cheek. She held Sabrina's hand and stared at me and mocked, "Well, Sabrina doesn't even care about her sexuality to be exposed. She's not a coward like you. You know what, we're into each other, and she is my life now."

That's all about money. That's not about love. Such a pair of gold digger bitches!

I clenched my jaws with my nails dug into my palm's skin. They have to stop that before they regret it!

They laughed together like a pair of pathetic bitches as Sabrina side seeing me and gave me a sly look. My eyes daggered at hers with flared my nose.

They finally stopped their filthy laughter as Sabrina said with a hint of sarcasm, "Did you know where is your dad when the day your mum was dying?"

My eyes widened as my breath ragged and she chuckled, "That day, your dad was with my mum. I felt bad for you and your mum. Both of you were crying in each other's arms why your dad was having fun with my mum." Rachel joined to laugh at me with Sabrina.

They're seeking to die in misery.

At this moment, I was not myself anymore. I felt I was stuck in my shell watching my own hands and body took over the action.

I grabbed a handful of Sabrina's hair to yank her away from Rachel and let her to fall on the floor by force. That whore I would deal with her later.

When there left only Rachel in front of me, I swung my fist and aimed at her face. But, she was too fast in action and caught my fist. She smirked smugly at me as I tilted my head aside and fake a smile at her.

That was a trap, bitch.

I used one of my feet to tilt both of her feet apart and I kneed up to her center. She whimpered and let go of my hand.

Serve your right! This was what you get!

I pulled her hair forced her closer to me, and whispered, "My knee not only knows how to fuck, but also knows how to hurt you like a bitch!" with that, I yanked her away and let her fell on the floor to join the bitch.

I slowly walked toward them as Sabrina was staring at me in horror. The color of her face was drain and looks paler than her skin tone. Her face was already covered with a streak of tears as she shook her head, and pleaded for mercy.

I gripped her hair as I hauled her to the nearest bathroom. While we were walking to the bathroom, she was holding my grip to stop me. But, I tightened the grip cause she winced in pain.

We eventually stopped in the bathroom, as I pulled her hair to force her to face me. I used all my willpower to slap her face with my free hand. The sound of the slap echoed in the bathroom as I heard her started crying.

I smiled in satisfaction of her pain and I said, "This is for my mum. Your mum stole my biological dad away from my mum when she needed him that time."

Her face was full of the streaks of tears as I backhanded another side of her face, "This is for you to set me up with your whore mum!" I spat at her.

She held my hands to plead with me, "Please, don't do that to me. Everything was my mum asked me to do."

I slapped her cause her face snapped aside with no mercy. I smirked at the masterpiece of my art on her face. I said in sarcasm, "Your mum asked you to steal Rachel away from me too huh!"

She sobbed "Rachel is the girl I told you I like."

I laughed in mocking her "So, you and your mum enjoy taking their 'Best friends' lover huh!" I spat "Like mother like daughter. Both of you are such a pair of pathetic whores!"

I let go of my hand from her hair. I used both of my hands to shove her falls on the floor by force.

"Fuck you!" I yelled as I stormed out of the bathroom. I decided to find that bastard to talk to.

***

"Miss, you can't barge in to interrupt Mr. Anderson's meeting." the receptionist said in a panicked voice as I ignored her and continued stormed to the meeting room.

The receptionist did not even dare to pull me aside or blocked my way. Perhaps my face looks like a maniac killer for her. She only could verbally stop me instead of touched me.

All her words were being left out from my ears and I didn't listen to anything from her. Finally, I reached the glass door and pushed it with full of my strength. The door swung opened and stopped perfectly in place without hit the wall.

I wished it would hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

Everyone's eyes were on me in horror. When I turned to see that bastard, he frowned at me in displease and announce in annoyance to the people, "Come back after 10 minutes."

They rushed out of the room in no time, and finally only left the two of us. He exhaled as he stared at me straight and said sternly, "You only have 9 minutes left to talk to me."

I chuckled sarcastically at him, "Where the hell were you when mum passed away that day?"

He frowned "Stop talking to me like that."

I shook my head and said coldly, "I'm not your daughter anymore."

"You're disrespectful!"

"So what! Tell me where had you been that day?" I spat as he remains still with folded his arms.

I yelled, "Answer me!"

"If you keep yelling at me like that again, I'd call the security escort you to leave this building," he warned.

"So, that whore was right. That day you with her mum, right?" I gritted my teeth and glared at him full of hatred.

"That's none of your business." he flared his nose.

"You didn't answer my question yet, Mr. Anderson," I said to him coldly as he glared at me.

"Yes," he eventually admitted after a few beats. I chuckled with my tears streamed out from my eyes.

"You're unbelievable," I muttered in dismay. I hate him so much. I wasn't even able to say 'I hate you' to him. I was despair over him.

I was expecting he would say something to me, but nothing. His face remains cold, and I knew he was not initiated to reason or made things right. I turned and left this room, and giving up this man in my life.

Today would be the last day for me to see this man. I would never see him again because he didn't deserve to be respected by me.

***

"You are the school president and top student in the school. You shouldn't do this to any students. That's wrong, Cadence." Mr. Johnny, the headmaster of the school said in disappointment.

He was a mid 40 man with dark hair and dressed in a suit. Right now, I was in his office. He pressed his lips a while and said, "I knew your situation, but you have to be rational."

He was right. But, at that moment I really couldn't control my anger.

"You could expel me for not ruin the reputation of the school," I suggested even though I was pretty worried about my scholarship.

He sighed with his hand scrubbed his chin, "It's not about the reputation of the school. It's about your scholarship."

He furrowed his eyebrows in concentration and exhaled in worry, "I knew you're expecting to get the scholarship. I'm expecting it too. I feel sad that you will waste all of your efforts. If I expelled or suspended you. That might affect the qualification of scholarship." I remained silent and let him continue.

"I have decided. You'll get detention for two weeks. That will be the punishment for fighting in school." I was surprised by his decision. Because I was thinking that I might be get suspended or expelled.

"Look Cadence, this would be my final chance for you. Please, don't disappoint me. I really put high hope on you." he smiled in genuine at me.

I nodded my head, "Yes, thank you, Mr. Johnny. I will not let this happen again. I'm sorry to make trouble in school."

He smiled with shook his head "You have to control your anger, don't let it take over you. Anger would lead people to be reckless and take over everything blindly. Learn to be calm and rational whenever you're angry. That's the way to win over the obstacles."

I was agreed with all his wise words. Mr. Johnny was a wise and prudent man, that's the reason I always respected him.

"Thank you for your wise advice, Mr. Johnson," I said and smiled courteously at him.

He nodded his head. "You're going to be graduate after one month. Put more effort into your study, Cadence. Good luck."

I smiled with nodded my head "Thank you, Mr. Johnson."

One year after

"Are you leaving us?" Danielle hiccupped in her crying as she hugged around my neck tightly as I'd disappeared anytime.

I gently patted her back and assured her, "I'll always come around during my weekend, sem break, and holidays."

She pulled away from me, wiping off her tears with the back of her tiny hands. She grinned as she still sniffing with lift up her pinkie finger, "Promise?"

I used my thumbs to wipe off the tears filling in the rim of my eyes. I linked her pinkie finger and pulled her into a hug. I tightened my embrace on her as I wiped off my tears again.

After I cleaned my tears, I carried Danielle up as Dana stared at me with her teary eyes. I pulled her into an embrace.

I sniffled as I said with my trembling voice "Thank you so much for taking care of me this year. You're the family who collected me from the downhill of the path of my life. I really couldn't appreciate you with words. I'm grateful to have all of you as my family."

I pulled away from her as I was wiping off my tears. Her eyes were teary and bloodshot.

She still manages to smile at me in reassured "You can come back anytime whenever you're having a hard time. You're always welcome for coming back anytime."

I nodded my head "I will take good care of myself, Dana." I used one of my free hands to hold her hand and squeezed it gently "Thank you so much, Dana. I love all of you."

Dana smiled as she used one of her free hands to wipe off her tears and chuckled softly "We love you too, sweetie. Now go, don't miss out on the bus."

I nodded my head as she joked "We'll be glad if you missed the bus too." both of us laughed lightly.

"Now come on, you have to let your sis go, Elle." Dana called as Danielle tightened her arms around my neck and said stubbornly, "No!" Dana and I chuckled.

I smiled and said softly, "Elle, we already pinkie promised. I'll come back to here whenever I'm free, alright." I patted her head lightly.

She sighed dejectedly, "Okay, be sure you back whenever you're free."

I chuckled at her cuteness, "Of course."

Danielle eventually removed her arms away from me as Dana reached to carry her back in her arms. I slowly let go of my hand from Dana's hand and held my luggage.

I waved at them and bid them goodbye before I turned and walked away from them. I stopped when I walked halfway through the hallway of their apartment. I turned to look over my shoulder to see them once again.

Danielle was sobbing and bury her face into Dana's crook of the neck. Dana smiled at me with her hand wiped off her tears.

I was overwhelmed by their emotions. I pressed my lips to hold my tears, nodded my head, and hastily turned away and head to the lift.

Once I stepped into the lift, I saw Danielle remained her face buried in Dana's crook of the neck as Dana waved at me. I forced a smile as I waved her back.

When the door of the lift closed, I started sobbed violently and let my tears rolled down my face like a river.

They already kept me stay at their place for a year. Somehow, I couldn't always be dependent and be their burden. They were already full of plates in their life.

Besides, I already saved enough money to rent a room. I got a barrister job near my college, the pay was enough for me to cover upcoming rent and basic expenses.

Gratefully, I could get the scholarship. If no, I couldn't start college that soon.

6 years after

"That's enough. I'm stuff, Dana." I chuckled when I stared at my plateful meals.

Dana still topping up the food on my plate, and said in a motherly tone, "You lose weight, Cadence. You should eat more."

She added a bowl of salad on the dining table, rested the hands on her waist, studied my face, and said, "Don't forget to eat even though you're busy, sweetie."

She said with pursed her lips, "I know you're working hard and taking your part-time course, but you have to give yourself a break."

I chuckled at her motherly speech as I gently patted her hand, "I'm good, Dana. Don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself."

It was a Christmas eve night, Duncan was already back at his bar to work earlier an hour after the dinner. Now only left the three of us having dinner and chatted. I always came back during any festival or my day off.

"How do you maintain your body, Cadence," Danielle asked with pouted her lips. She pinched her thin skin so call 'fats'

"Mum, stop adding the food for me. I need to diet," she complained

Dana rolled her eyes, "Stop the nonsense. Finish them. You will regret if your height didn't grow."

Danielle groaned "I don't want to be fat like you, mum."

I burst out laughing as Dana gasped like she gets offended "How dare you." with that she added a scoop of mashed potato to Danielle's plate.

Danielle's eyes widened in horror and exclaimed, "Mum!" she gasped as I laughed again.

Danielle and I were chatting in the room I was staying in last time. We still feel full after more than hours of dinner and decided to stay up late. We were laying on the bed relaxing.

"Do you have any crushes or dates?" Danielle asked as I bit my lower lips. "I can tell you have someone right now. Who is the lucky girl?" she beamed.

I was grinning like an idiot and said, "We didn't together yet. We're just friends. I only could tell you I like this woman."

I smiled as I tried to tell her about the woman I like. "She's my manager. I just joined this place about 2 months ago. She's beautiful with light brown hair, fair skin, slender body. She's a caring and lovely lady. Sometimes she would buy me a dinner whenever I stayed up late in the office."

"Awwww that's sweet." Danielle gushed

I giggled "She would occasionally talk to me and asked about my things."

Danielle asked excitedly "Did you share with her?"

I nodded my head "I did, but not as much as you and your parents."

Danielle nodded her head "Hmmm she seems like a cool lady. You should try on her. It's been two years since you didn't date. You need to have someone with you, Cadence."

I chuckled "I'll take my time. Only if she like me too, Elle. There's no point if she didn't like me as I do."

She nodded her head "You're right. I hope this ship is sailing." both of us giggled.

3 months after

"What about we have dinner at my place? I want you to try my new recipe." Patricia, the gorgeous brunette who was my manager asked me.

I grinned, "Yes, I'd like to." I paused and hummed, "Hmmm just the two of us?"

She rolled her eyes playfully, "Is that a problem?"

I shook my head "No. Of course not, that will be much better." I was too late to hold my tongue as I swiftly face down my table in embarrassment.

I felt she was propping her arms onto my cubicle. A hitched escape from my lips when I felt her fingers tipped my chin to tilted up my head.

My heartbeat started fluttering when I looked into her green eyes. Her eyes gleaming as she smiled at me sweetly, "Why are you being shy, gorgeous?" she chuckled lightly

I stammered "N-nothing."

"You're blushing. That's cute." she beamed as she used one of her hands cradled on my cheek and gently caressed it. My heartbeat started hammering when she leaned in closer to my face.

My eyes widened as my hands tightened on my armrest when her lips claimed mine. I was surprised she kissed me. We eventually parted our lips as our tongues flipping smoothly.

I was enthusiastic we were sharing this kiss but I was worried at the same time. What if the security watched the CCTV and found out. I moaned when she started nibbling my neck with her hands held on my breasts.

I was getting turn on with her gesture, I hitched in my throat when she squeezed my breasts sensually. I felt my body was getting a heat, but I hastily held her hands to stop her. She pulled away and asked me gently "What's wrong, my dear?"

"I enjoy doing this with you and I'd love to continue this with you. But," I trailed off and pointed up the ceiling which was clear enough for her to know that there have CCTV.

She laughed lightly as she stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I was carried away. How could I resist when I'm facing a stunning lady." She studies my face with a smile.

She used one of her hands to stroke my face lightly. She leaned in and plant a light kiss on my lips. "I'll see you tomorrow night." she winked and left me behind. I used my fingertips to trail my lips as I was grinning from ear to ear.

I had dated a few girls after Rachel cheated and broke up with me. My exes after Rachel couldn't last long with me. They had made excuses such as too boring or they back to 'straight.'

Surprisingly I was fine with that because we were spending more time in bed instead of having real dates.

Somehow, Patricia was different from them. I could tell she would be good to me. The way she smiled, caring for me I was touched by that. Besides, she could make my heartbeat fluttered whenever I saw her. She was the person I would look forward to.

***

"You distracted me. You're fucking stunning! The way you dress is teasing me." Patricia growled with nibbled my lips. She was busy undressing me as I did the same to her.

Suppose we were having dinner at her place just now. I dressed in a red dress which looks a little sexy. The moment when she saw me entered the house, her eyes darkened with her mouth slacked ajar.

I chuckled when I saw her hastily placed her baked food on the counter, ripped off her apron, and rushed toward to crash me with her hungry and desperate kiss.

My back was laying flat on her comfy and soft kingsize bed, and our clothes were already discarded on the wooden floor. She teasingly nibbles my lips, her hands and knees were busy doing their jobs to pleasure me.

We moaned, panted, and scratching each other's backs. I bite her shoulder when I was cum as she groaned in pleasure of my bit. She lay flat next to me and said breathlessly, "You're fucking amazing."

I propped up my elbow and reached my hand to caress her now sweaty face. "So, are you." she smiled as I brushed her hair aside. I leaned closer to her and planted a kiss on her lips.

I pulled away from her and gently caressed her face, "I like you so much, Patricia." she lifted her body a little to pull me into a kiss. We deepened our kiss as she smiled in between our lips, "I like you more, my dear."

I gasped when my back hit on a mattress again, and she was hovering over me. She said to me in sultry, "I can't get enough from you." With that, she groped my breasts made me giggled as she buried her face on my breasts.

Two years after

"Stop that, honey. You're distracting me." I giggled as Patricia was busy teasing my body. I was revising my paper for tomorrow. I turned to cupped her face and planted my lips to hers, "I'll let you do whatever you want on me after I finished my paper, alright."

She stared at me with her puppy looks, but didn't stop to grope my breasts I giggled "Stop it, honey! I can't do my revision. I have to pass this paper please." I shrieked as she ticklish my waist and pulling up my shirt. She showered her kissed over my exposed body.

I tried to pull her away lightly as she groaned "Oh come on! We didn't have sex for about a week. I can't help when I see your seductive looks, please." I giggled and gave in to her. She wasted no time peeling off every single layer of my clothes till I was bare. I gave in and let her enjoy her pleasure with me.

Perhaps she was stress and she deserves a break.

Three years after

"Do you miss me, Honey?" I teased with bit my lips

She groaned, "Of course! When will you get back in my arms, darling?"

I chuckled "Are you forgetful, Honey? It's tomorrow."

She whined, "I thought you're giving me a surprise. I'm expecting that you are giving me good news. I thought you're coming back today." she sighed dejectedly.

I chuckled "Be patience, I'll snuggle in your arms tomorrow."

She laughed and said excitedly, "I can't wait for it, darling. Oh, I gotta go, I need to work. Take care of yourself, okay."

I giggled when I heard her back to her caring tone, "Will do. I love you."

"I love you more."

We ended the call as I smiled. I lied to her that I'll be back tomorrow. I just came back from the outstation by flight and waiting for a cab to go home from the airport.

I was getting excited when I was thinking about going home. I couldn't wait to propose to her and get married to her. I really love this woman. She was patient and a caring woman. She does respect me and being thoughtful of me.

Last few months I was stressed and fighting for my last two papers. She gave me space, and let me study alone to focus my papers. I do appreciate that. She always reassured me that she would take care of me if I couldn't make it. She didn't want me to stress over my studies.

Now I could proudly tell her that I made it. I rushed to take a cab and back home to do light decoration and dinner for us. My heartbeat was leaping in glee when I was picturing the event between us.

She would be tears of joy and embrace me in her arms tenderly. I bit my lips and held my excitement. I should get hurry before she back from work.

Somehow, the thing wasn't what I had planned. When I reach her house, I furrowed my eyebrows because her car was parked in her garage.

She didn't work today? My plan might be failing. I had to prepare my plan B.

I smiled as I pulled the luggage with me and walked into her house. I used my key to penetrate the doorknob. To my surprised it didn't lock, I shrugged as I gently pushed the door open.

Once the view of the living room appears in my sight, my body turns cold. The clothes were scattered on the floor. I shook my head and trying to brush off any possible thoughts from my mind.

It can't be. Please, don't do this to me. Perhaps those were Patricia's clothes. Not the other girl.

I took a deep breath and shut my eyes.

Be brave, I have to trust Patricia. She won't do that to me. We love each other.

I stepped into the house and walked further to look for Patricia. The further I walked, my heart gets wrenched. I saw a piece of undergarment that was not Patricia or mine. It was someone else.

My hands flew to my mouth when I stepped on the flight of stairs. The shirt was her assistant's working shirt. My footsteps were getting heavy to climb up further to our room. The belongings were scattered up to the staircase.

I had no idea why they could have so many things. Could be from the living room up to the staircase.

When I reached the doorstep of our master bedroom, I shut my eyes tightly. The door open ajar with a fainted voice panting and giggling. Those voices, exactly when Patricia was having sex with me.

The only difference is there have another voice of moan and giggle from another person, but me.

When my eyes opened, I saw the door blurry. My tears were brewing around my eyes. I let my eyes closed and let the tears droplet. I opened my eyes again to wipe off my tears.

I inhaled and finally pushed the door wide open. Both of them looked at me in horror. I was right, Patricia was fucking with her assistant on the bed that we used to fuck!

"When did it happen?" I yelled and that was all I wanted to know.

"D-darling, I thought you'll come back tomorrow." she stammered with her teary eyes.

"So, you guys can fuck with each other when I'm not around, huh." I said in venom "When did you start to fuck her?" I asked with gritted my teeth.

"No, that's not what you think like that darling."

"When?!" I yelled as the assistant flinched. She was fully clothed, she quickly rushed and disappear in my sight.

The most gorgeous lady I'm deeply in love with was cheating on me. She ripped my heart into pieces and let it shattered on the ground.

Finally, she was decent with her baggy shirt and sweatpants. She pulled out her now messy hair and sobbed. "Please, she and I were nothing. I don't love her. The only person I love is you." she turned her watery and bloodshot green eyes to me in regret.

I shook my head in emotionless. "You don't love me like I do, Patricia." she sobbed when she heard I call her name instead of her pet name. She knew that I totally gave up on her.

"If you love me, you will never do this to me, Patricia." I said with my shaky voice "That's killing me." I sobbed as she quickly reached toward me and pulled me into a kiss.

I pushed her away gently before she could reach me, "Everything is too late for us now, Patricia. I really love you. But, I can't accept this. That's really hurt."

She sobbed with rested her hands which were cupping my face "I swear this will never happen again." she whispered "Please."

I took her hands and pulled away from my face "In the future, my job will be busy. I might be outstation a lot too. Once you have this habit, you'll never change. You'll repeat again and again. I can't trust you anymore, Patricia." I said with my hoarse voice.

I stared up at the ceiling and sighed, "I have given you a chance, Patricia." I tilted down my head, stared at her, and scoffed "But, what happened? Same. You told the same thing to me last time too, Patricia."

She remained still as I smiled bitterly at her. I pulled her into a kiss and this would be our last kiss before I left her. I really love her so much. But, that was too hurtful for me.

She had broken our trust twice. Don't matter how much I love her, our relationship was broken. I knew that's no point for us to stay together. I pulled away and whispered in between our lips, "Goodbye, Patricia."

She sobbed and pleaded with me not to go. I ignored her and collected the rest of my belongings in her room.

I packed all my stuff and pulled out the luggage. My heart was getting heavy when I was ready to leave her house. She sat in the corner of her room helplessly. She knew that I won't get back to her anymore.

Suppose today was the most memorable day for our happiness. Somehow, this day became our heartbreaking goodbye for us.

I was weary to trust and be in love with someone anymore.

Besides Danielle, her family, and Brendon, I trust no one. They were only the people who sincerely love me like my family.

End of Cadence's past tense.

A/N: Hi mates, games of Cadence's time travel have ended. We'll continue her new journey.

Happy reading.
