Nicolette trudged down the road, her body weak and frail. She was broke, tired, ashamed and literally had nowhere else to go.
After so much contemplation, she decided to return to her apartment.
When she arrived, her heart shattered at the sight of the empty room. The fatigue, the numbness, the pain—all added her heartbreak.
She dragged herself to the bathroom. Thankfully, the water was still running. She took off her sweat and blood-stained clothes, then soaked herself into the tub, the warm water embracing her aching body.
She lay still, staring at her ceiling, Robert's betrayal hitting harder than before. She couldn't believe after everything she had done for him, he still had the audacity to take her father's money and ditch her.
She clenched her fist, anger surging through her veins as she remembered everything she had been through.
They will all pay.
One way or another, they would regret hurting her.
