second chance

IMPORTANT PEOPLE

We entered the street where Matt was staying. I thought of something.
"Zack please drop me off three blocks away from that house."
" Do you stay there?"
" Not really, I just want to meet someone."
" Ok."
When he dropped me off. I wanted to say bye.
" Will you give me your number." I was dumbfounded.
" Why do you need my number."
" You said you wanted to build your own company. I will be going to a party this Saturday. I can help you find sponsors." I couldn't believe what I had just heard.
" Ok I will go with you." We then exchanged numbers before he went. I started walking towards Matt's house. I sent him a message if we could go on a date. He replied saying that he was busy at his company. I reached in my handbag to get keys. This house was bought by me. It was a present to Matt for his success so naturally I had the spare key. This would be my first time using it. In my past life I thought it was useless but still kept Incase of any emergencies. I entered the house, switched on the camera then started looking around. I stopped at his bedroom door. I slowly opened it. I could see some movements on the bed, I moved closer and uncovered the blankets. I saw Matt and Riana being intimate with each other.
"Ahhhh, what are you doing here?" Matt screamed shouted. I don't know, my mind was in a mess I wasn't expecting this. I wanted to drop my phone and run but I didn't. I pointed at the phone. They quickly covered themselves.
" I came to surprise you," I smiled.
" It's not what you think let me explain," so cliche. What did I look like, a five year old.
" No need, I just need you to compensate me."
" Riana, you are already dating someone else, but you are still asking for a compensation," Riana sobbed.
" I don't know what you are talking about do you have any proof."
" That man who was at the bar with you. I didn't want to tell Matt so I just wanted to comfort him." Riana sobbed more while looking at Matt.
" By sleeping with him," she was speechless .I knew she was talking about Zack just to cover what she did wrong.
"So you were sleeping with other men but still call me a cheater,"Matt was furious.
" For all the gifts I gave you that will be 80000, for this house let me put it at 25000 then for the emotional damage 60000 cause I don't know when I will get over it. So in total that will be 164000." I completely ignored him and wanted him to pay
" Are you mad?" He shouted.
" I'm being considerate, but since it's nothing to you I will also need you to pay for those times I helped you with sponsors while you were sleeping with this white lotus, so that will 150000. I know your business isn't really doing great so you can pay in Installments,"
" What about me. You were also cheating on me,"
" If you keep falsely accusing me I will add more or else this video will go viral." He looked at Riana.
" Where's is the proof?"
" I don't have any proof," she cried. He looked at her with pity and just hugged her.
" I will find the money," he said.
" If you don't I will post this video. You're company, career even Riana's career will be destroyed."
Matt stood up and tried to slap me and grab my phone. I dodged and he hit himself on the wall.
" Whether you delete it. I have already sent it to someone to make a copy."
" Go to hell, you strong headed which," Matt shouted .

I smiled at them before leaving. Riana picked a glass and threw it . I quickly closed the door before it hit me. I went to a place where the were no people around. I sat down and pulled my legs together to my chest.

Cold and strong headed?

I used to be as gentle as a lamb. It was the harsh reality of the world that compelled me to place an icy sheet on my personality and strengthen myself. Today I realised that I was not as strong as I imagined. I felt hurt and vulnerable. My throat turned dry and tears welled up. This was the most I allowed myself to be weak. I will not cry it was not worth it and immensely cowardly. It was not worth a penny and I would land as a joke to others. I felt a presence drawing near. Not long after a clean handkerchief appeared before me. I redirected my gaze. I was surprised . I released my legs and stood. I looked at the dashing man who was a head taller than me. We had just parted away and now we met again.
" What.... Are you doing here?" I tried to cover my face . After a long time he finally spoke in a deep and elegant voice.
"Normally women will cry at this juncture." I was surprised but immediately understood what he meant. He must have followed me all the way here. Although, he might not have heard anything , someone as intelligent as him would have captured the whole picture.
" Sorry it's not habitual for me to eavesdrop." He said
" It's not worth to cry over that kind of person. What's more my tears are not worth much." I said.
"You are right some people are not worth crying over. It's indeed a worst of emotions. However, I have reservations regarding that latter. The value of tears depends on who you are crying for, some people will think your tears are not worth anything, but some people will regard it as priceless."

Even though this was some heartwarming speech. The meaning rattled in my heart.
" Now let me answer your first question." He paused a bit before looking down at me.
" I want to persuade you to agree to the deal,"
" Has Mr Sullivan always been this direct when persuing someone?"
" I only persue you" this gave me a slight headache. It was the first time I felt it was difficult dealing with someone.
" You heard the conversation between the man and me. We've just met each other. What makes you think that I am the right choice?" I asked. Zack raised an eyebrow.
" You are comparing me to that scum."
"Honestly speaking, I feel we are not compatible. I don't really know you and I can't see beyond your surface level of your appearance let alone the deeper side of you."
" Then I look forward to you knowing the deeper side of me." I was speechless. Did this mean we were now dating?
" Can I now take you home? " He offered. I agreed and he took me home. Before I can e out if the car I heard him say " my assistant will bring for you gowns to choose from," I then remembered the event that he had invited me earlier.
" Oh ok." I came out of the car.
