(Ceasar's P.O.V.)

I know what I said earlier was fucked up but I couldn't tell Lyssa the truth and I know she wouldn't have wanted me to say anything either. I just had to say something to make Lyssa think it was nothing going on in my life. I wish I could've just explained that to her but she's not here.

It's been six hours since Lyssa and I got home from the therapist. When we arrived, I noticed her car wasn't there which meant she wasn't here. I tried calling her but it's either she just declines it or just plain out ignores it. After 3 hours I asked Lyssa where she was and she told me that she messaged her saying she was shopping for stuff for the house.

But honestly what the fuck do we need in this house that she has to take six hours to get. Nothing. Absolutely nothing!!. 

Currently, I am sitting in my office just staring at my phone and computer, my legs were shaking like crazy. Checking the time it was around 7 in the night. Outside was pouring like fucking crazy, I am honestly scared. I really can't take this anymore.

"Ocean call her again," I said.

The phone rang through the speaker but on the fifth ring, she declined the call... again.

"Fuck, call Dani," I said stroking my beard in frustration.

Picking up immediately, he said, "What ?!! I'm busy right now."

"Dani! Fuck ...you gotta help me. It's raining and she doesn't want to take any of my calls, Can you call her or track her for fuck sake. Something, anything man... I can't take this anymore" I said getting up from my chair.

"Ceasar, calm down she's probably out with Lyssa and-"

"Lyssa is home Danielius, she's been out for 6 hours. She said she was getting shit for the house but oh fuck we all know that was a lie. Look something happened and she got upset... just help me fucking find her." I said pacing the floor.

"Okay okay, I'll track her just chill dude. We'll find her," he said hanging up.

I really couldn't take it anymore, knowing she was somewhere out there in all this rain. Getting my keys from my desk I walked out of the office and heading straight to the main entrance. Grabbing my jacket from the closet, I started fixing myself when the door opened. There she was drenched. Everything was soaking wet on her.

"Jul," I said walking up to her, gently grabbing her hand. Immediately she pulled away from me.

"Let's stop," she said softly looking up at me.

"What?.. Why? Look, I know I messed up but we have something." I said

Laughing she turned her head and started walking up the stairs. I grabbed her arm again stopping her.

"Juliana... I'm serious. Just ...tell me where you were. Why didn't you answer my calls I was-"

"Shut up! Just shut the fuck up Ceasar!" she yelled at me with tears streaming down her face.

Letting go of her arm, I stood there, stunned by her outburst. She turned her head away from me, trying to catch herself.

"What-what happened?" I asked

"You fucking happened..." she said before she began walking up to her room.

Passing my hand on my beard, I followed her but when I reached her door it was locked. Punching in the master password, I opened the door to find her standing in the middle of her room staring into space.

"Get out," she said

"No," I said closing the door, "We're gonna talk about this and solve it right now."

Closing her eyes, she raised her head to the ceiling and said, "Ceasar... please just leave me. I don't want to be around you, I don't want anything to do with you. Im only staying here because of her and because I can't break that stupid fucking contract."

"Can you hear me out at least, listen to hear why I did it or why I even said it in the first place," I said getting a little closer to her.

"No," she said looking directly at me, "You don't have to explain the truth. You were right, whatever this is... was ...nothing serious. I don't mean anything to you and I was just there for us to have fun for a while. And now I don't want to do that anymore."

"Jul...that's not true. You do mean something to me, I swear baby. You have no idea the things I have done for you, I-"

"What you have done for me? Ha, what gave me shelter? Food? The job? Or the car ?... the clothes? Because that's all you've done for me Ceasar and I don't need it. Do you want it back?" She said throwing the car keys at me.

"What?- No, FUCK, just listen to me. What do you want me to do huh? Cause I will go out there and tell her everything. I'll tell her how much I believe I fucking love you. This is not about the fucking material things, that is shit I can always replace... But you and Lyssa I can't replace. You two are only things I  actually fucking care about, so I will go tell her if that's what you need!" I yelled back

"No, you don't... don't get to pretend that you care just to keep me here, don't do that shit! And you will not tell her anything because the last thing I need is to lose her from my life. So just please leave and let's stop. I wouldn't create a scene around her and when she is not around, just don't talk to me. I don't have money to pay you back so I'll leave after a year. You can keep my pay so I could pay off the breach of contract-"

"Jul plea-"

"Im not done. I will be civil with you Ceasar but do not take it as an-okay to talk to me or touch me if we are ever alone... it was nothing serious so ... I can't hate you for saying the truth." She said walking off to her bathroom.

Following her there, as soon I was about to enter, she closed the door in my face.

"Leave Mr. Ivanov," she said

"Juli-"

"Mr. Ivanov please leave," she repeated

Slamming my fist against the wall, I walked out of the room and headed straight to the garden to clear my head. Looking up at her room I saw that she turned all her lights off.

"The truth she says... how can she say it was the truth when I was lying to protect her friendship with my daughter. HOW CAN IT BE THE TRUTH IF IT HURTS US BOTH!!" I screamed.
