Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Ivan waited for Lucy outside her door step with the hope that she might listen to his plea. He wants her to believe him, he didn't do anything. He kept banging and shouting out her name but Lucy didn't open the door. He doesn't know that Linda was Lucy's cousin. He was shocked at seeing her that he didn't know when she moved forward and kissed him. He was about to push her that was when Lucy saw them and thought of the worst.

" Lucy please listen to me. I promise I didn't do anything wrong. She came at me " he shouted from outside but Lucy doesn't even wanna hear him out she felt heart broken seeing her cousin and Ivan kissing.

" please sweetheart, open the door let's settle this. I love you" she still didn't open the door for him.

" just leave her alone Ivan . She isn't for you, I'm the only one you need.  Don't forget what we shared, I love you ivan" Linda finally talked,ivan had even forgotten that she was still there with him. Ivan turn to give her a death glare and that did nothing to Linda, instead she gave him her killer smile. He wish he can drag her hair down the road. The nerves she has to show herself before him after what she did to him in the past and now she wants to end his relationship with Lucy. I won't let her-he internally said to himself.

" you're the cause of all this, you bitch. You've done enough already. What more do you want from me?"

Linda sarcastically laughed at him. She clapped her hands and move forward to him.

" you deserve all that happened, you're the cause of it all. You brought this to your self and I'm so happy that I decided to stay with my aunt. Who would have thought that you are dating my cousin, in fact my worst enemy . This is just the beginning Ivan. " she smirked at him as she finished talking. He look at her in wonder. The nerve of this girl. Shouldn't he be the one doing the talking after what she did to him?  And now she is even threatened him. She must be crazy.

He angrily held her elbow in a strong hold. He held it tighter, when he saw that she winced, he internally smirked to himself. Good for her-He thought.

" what do you think you'd achieve from all these? Lucy is far better than you. Just because we were lovers then doesn't mean that I wouldn't do something you'd regret. Don't taste my patience Linda." Linda look more angrier. She hates it when she is been compared to Lucy, she hate her so much.

All her family love Lucy more. What does lucy has that she doesn't? I'm more prettier than her-she thought.

" Don't ever say that to my face again. Don't ever mention that stupid girl's name to me again. I'm more better and prettier than her. You know that ivan" Linda said through gritted teeth.

Ivan release his hold on her hand, he rub his face in frustration " you see, that is one thing I don't like about you. You always look down on people, you always think that you are more prettier and best in everything. That is where you're wrong coz  my Lucy is good and beautiful in and out. She isn't as sneaky as you. You're the last person I want to see, I hate you with everything in me" he angrily shouted at her. Linda began to shed tears, she move forward to hold his hand but Ivan pushed her hands away.

" let me be"

"please Ivan, I'm sorry for everything that had happened between us before. I still love you. Please believe me, remember the moments we shared together. I still love you ivan" she sound so sincere, I'm never going to fall for her lies again.  He decided to just avoid Linda and went back to banging the door for Lucy to open up

Ivan wants to explain everything to her, he wants her to hear him out. He tried and tried calling her phone, sending text messages but still all was in vain. The last text he sent to Lucy was

Always remember that I love you, you are and will always be it for me. I LOVE YOU LUCY, ONLY YOU ALONE.

With that he left with heavy heart with the hope that maybe she might change her mind when she sees the text.

*

Unknown to Lucy that Linda was Ivan's ex, she kept thinking of ways to harm Linda and that stupid Ivan. He cheated on me, she silently muttered . The worst part is that he cheated with my cousin in my house, she muttered again to herself. She already end her tears few seconds ago, she isn't going to shed more tears ever again. To hell with the two.

Abby sat at the far end of the bed looking at how her friend was in thought. She wish she can slap the hell out of Linda right now. That bitch need to be thought a lesson.

Abby felt pity for Lucy, she had never seen Lucy looking so heart broken like this . Even when she broke up with Thomas , she had never cried like this. She just hope that her friend wouldn't turn bitter coz of all these.

Lucy turn deaf ears to the noise outside, she knew it was Ivan banging the door. She don't want to see him right now. Her phone buzz beside her, she picked it up and saw a text from Ivan.

Always remember that I love you, you are and will always be it for me. I LOVE YOU LUCY, ONLY YOU ALONE.

She brought her phone close to her chest, I love you too, she muttered to herself.

" I think I need to talk to ivan" Lucy said out of the blue. Abby turn to her in surprise

" really? " Abby asked, Lucy nod her head at Abby in reply .

" I want some explanation, I want to know what really happened. I don't want to give up so soon just like what happened with Thomas. Abby I love ivan" Lucy said.

At this confession , Abby was happy that at least her friend isn't going to be turn bitter as she had thought. Abby gave Lucy an encouraging smile.

" when will that be?" she asked

" I don't know when yet. All I know is that I want to make Ivan suffer a little bit before knowing what really happened " Lucy replied
