Loving Diane

2

The hall was now empty as most of the people left.

Some were going to get ready for the evening party while I still sat in the same place

Not sure if I was invited to at the party or not. I wasn't going to either way. My presence made things awkward already I didn't want to make things even worse.

I saw someone sit besides me from my peripheral vision.

But I didn't turn my head to see who it was

"You came" a deep husky voice asked

I didn't need to turn to see who it was

Lucas

"I received an invite" I replied

There was a moment of silence before he spoke again

"Still after all that happened we thought you wouldn't come" he tried to make a conversation

This time I decided to look at him, "Wouldn't come or you didn't want me to come?"

He looked away

"I get it" I replied, picking up my purse and getting up to leave

But as soon as I stood he stood up too

"I didn't want to see you again, but Ella really needed her best friend. She couldn't do it without you" he said making me stop in my place

"It really didn't seem that way" I mumbled

I wasn't sure if I should be happy or sad hearing what Lucas had to say.

Should I be happy because Ella needed me on her big day

Or would I be sad because Lucas didn't want to see me ever again

Though it hurt my heart I was good as concealing it.

"She cried a day before the wedding and also on in the brides room. The only reason she came out was because we told her you came" he said curtly "Though you shouldn't have come. She still has a hope in her heart that things could get better when we both know that there isn't any good after all that's happened. It was best you left her on her big day so she could finally come out of that cocoon of hers"

For some reason at this moment I lashed out at Lucas, "You think you know everything! You think your decisions are wise but you don't know anything at all. You know I thought it's me you don't care about but the reality is you never cared about anyone! The only one you ever care about is yourself." 

I pointed my finger at him, "You think I cheated on my best friend with your best friend then think whatever the hell you want to. I'm fucking tired of defending myself! And why did you send me the invitation in the first place if you didn't want me to come because if I'm not wrong you're so 'strong and powerful' one word and I would've never received the invite"

Lucas is Michigan's top ten male bachelors and the CEO of the famous "Sullivan & Cromwell" law firm.

His father was initially the founder but when he retired as a judge it was passed to Lucas.
Everyone in Michigan fears him because until now his firm has not lost a single case.

His entire presence screams dominance.

I turned on my heels and almost walked away when a tight iron like hand gripped my arm twirling me around.

I was trapped between the two rows of the seats with Lucas right at front of me. Both his hands on with side of the seat

"Don't you dare to talk to me like that! And you're right I could've stopped the invitation from being sent but I didn't because I didn't think you'd fall so low to actually show up since you cheated on my sister. But I guess I was wrong you're even worse than a whore-"

"If I'm worse than a whore then why did you think I wouldn't come? I mean a whore can stoop to any level right?" I tried pushing him away but he was so strong he didn't even buff

"You believed that asshole of your friend over me. Hell you actually invited him to come and then you tell me I'm the whore? You've got a fucked up mind because you don't even know yourself if I'm the wrong one or not" I continued

Lucas was so close to me that if I moved any closer we would actually kiss.

I could feel his warm breath fanning my face as my body was pressed against his

"You're right! I do have a fucked up mind and it's all because of you. I trusted the wrong person" he replied, letting me go

I laughed bitterly, "it's funny how I think the other way round about you"

"Now there's finally a common ground between us" I said

Lucas and I never had the same interests, we were two completely different people yet very similar in the same way.

"You can leave now I've had enough of you" he said, not even looking my way

I nodded, "This was the last time you'll ever see me. I really pray to God that we never cross each other's paths again because I'd rather be called a whore than fall for a man who hardly ever trusted me" My eyes began tearing up "I hope you have a wonderful life with that wonderful friend of yours. And I hope he doesn't break your trust by revealing his true colours since you trust him so blindly and if he does then I wish to be the witness"

Yes it's true

Lucas was the man I loved

The man I alway fancied to be with

But it's right, the person you care for the most is the person who hurts your the most

Lucas Elliot Sullivan was the man who broke my heart

The man who made me stop believing in love

The man who showed me the real nature of all the men in the world

This was the end of Lucas and Diane
