I sighed and glanced up at the staircase leading to the upper floor. There were expensive furnitures and some of the portrays hanging on the wall. There were pictures of Mr Gonzalez with his wife. They looked happy and so much in love. Another picture was of them with a little kid with familiar green eyes. I immediately recognised him as Arthur. He was little but still handsome for a kid.

I observed the pictures as every portrays speaking different emotions. I leaned forward smiling at picture of Mr Gonzalez who's smiling down at his wife.

Throughout the dinner Mr Gonzalez was very attentive to his wife. He'd wipe her lips or compliment her every once in a while. I caught them holding hand under the table and when I caught Cara she was blushing like a teenager.

I sighed wishing one day I could get to have the same love as them. Mahir and I have still a very long way to go but I have full trust that we'll have a beautiful future together.

"No matter how hard you try to make a place in his heart, he's never gonna love you back."

My head snapped at the voice and I groaned loudly seeing the person standing behind me. I rolled my eyes watching Veronica walk towards me swaying her hips. She was wearing a sexy long sleeve crisscross bandage dress that complimented her supple curves perfectly well.

I scoffed under my breath, "I don't try. I just walk in and that place will belong to me because unlike you I don't hurt the people I love."

I heard her chuckle amused causing me to arch my brow at her.

"You're so confident, aren't you? What did he promised, hmm? She asked folding her arms against her chest. Her cleavage pop out at the action.

"He doesn't need to make promises for me to love him." I said honestly and definitely heard her mutter 'bullshit'.

"Blah blah blah.." she trailed dramatically. "When are you going to realise that you're just being delusional. There's a lot of attractive men out there who's much richer. Why him?" She asked curiosity filled her eyes. Is she really asking me?

I chuckled. " My husband is the man who makes all the other men unattractive. I don't need another man, darling."

I shook my head in disappointment and walk past her but she grabbed my arm forcing me to look at her.

"You still have time. Leave him and you might save your poor heart." She said staring right into my eye.

"You don't need to worry about my heart, Ms Oberoi. I'm very much capable of protecting it as I'm certain my husband would never do anything to break it." I retorted.

"You'll regret ever messing with me." She hissed, glaring at me.

I smacked my teeth. "Such a pity. When he loved you, you hurt him and now when he's finally moving on, you want him back?" I said, displeased.
