Amyra's POV
My gut wrenched as the reality of the statement sunk in...

I wish I had never climbed so high, the drop felt profoundly bottomless...

"Since we are friends, I realized I should tell you...."

Friends???Why does that word hurt???

"Thanks for sharing...." I just wish my tone matches the look on my face because I can feel tears prick my eyes...

"It was all my fault she left...I was so busy with work that I neglected her. If I would go back in time, I would do things differently...." He stated sadly...

I was on my fourth drink now...

"How old is your son????" I asked in a verge of tears still in disbelief...

"He is three years old...He is such an adorable boy...." Just mentioning his son brought out this glow on his face...

"You must be a very good father Adam...."

"I try once in a while but I know making things right with Penelope will make him happier...I also want to try and work things out with her...I love her so much and I would do anything to make my family complete..."

A tear escaped from my eye and dripped on my chin . If I don't get out of there fast, I will end up embarrassing myself...

"Excuse me!!!!" I said in barely than a whisper and rushed to the washroom...Thanks heavens I had asked where the washroom was earlier...

I didn't understand the stabbing pain in my chest

. I was already in one hella complicated relationship and here I was crying over Adam being married.

Why were my emotions whirled and skidded???

I tried to talk myself into stop crying but my tears wouldn't stop falling no matter what I did...

They were tears of a Heart breaking once again. A heart that never learns. A heart that is so gullible....

After I was done feeling stupid and sorry for myself, I walked back to the table...

"Have you been crying????" Great, my swollen puffy eyes just sold me out...

"My emotions are over the roof lately...." A mere look on Adam and my tears were almost falling again...

"Do you wanna talk about it???" He asked in a concerned tone...

"Is that married man mishandling you????"

"No, I am just having those moments...."

"I know Amyra.

. I might be a billionaire and can afford almost everything in life but I am not happy...Once upon a time I thought money was everything until I lost Penelope...i am in that place in my life where I would trade my wealth for her..."

Jacob has a lot to learn from you Adam..

"You are an amazing man Adam, I am sure she will take you back...." 

On my sixth drink....I had now began feeling lighter...

"I hope so too...This trip was her idea for us to start things afresh only for her to call me and tell me she doesn't think she is ready..." He heaved a frustrated sigh...

How would any woman want to throw away this perfect masterpiece??Some of us here are dating men that aren't even close to sh*t while other are not grateful for their amazing gifts...Life just sucks...

"Maybe she is still hurting. Give her some little bit of time..." I placed my hand on his and squeezed it.

"Thanks Amyra...."

I called the waitress again to order another drink when Adam butted in,"I think she will have a glass of water now..."

"Adam, I handle my alcohol just fine...."

"Amyra we are not discussing this. You have already drank six glasses of margarita...."

"Okay...."

"Will that be all sir???" The waitress asked, looking at Adam like he was the rarest creature...
But how can I blame her when I am with him in a room, it always feels like it's just the two of us...

"Before I forget Amyra, I am going back home tomorrow...My son had a high fever this afternoon and It scares me that he might get sick and I am not there with him..."

If been married wasn't enough, now he is leaving...

"Do you have to leave tomorrow???" I felt like something squeezed my windpipe as tears blinded my eyes...

"My son needs me Amyra...And there is nothing here to make me stay...."

'I am here' I wanted to shout on his face...

I gave him a small nod and downed the glass of water Infront of me...

"Am...." He was cut off by the vibration of his phone...

"Hey Penelope????"
"What do you mean I don't care about my son???Nobody told me he had gotten worse. Mom just told me he had a high fever...." He said between closed teeth....

"I am not working, I am out having a drink with a friend..."

"Why would I lie to you???" He had his fists clenched so hard that I was afraid his palms would bleed...

"I am flying back home tomorrow morning...."

"There is nothing keeping me here, I just wanted some time away everything to think..." The painful expression on his face broke me.

"I promise I will be there by tomorrow evening Penelope..."

"You too...."

"You women are so complicated!!!" Adam cussed out after hanging up...
"Tell me about it...."

"Shall we go now????"
"Sure..."

I didn't realize how drunk I was until I stood from the chair and fell back...
I wish I had eaten first before deciding to drown myself in alcohol...

"I think it will be better to get a ride back..." Adam suggested reaching for his phone.

When we reached the hotel, Adam helped me into the elevator and walked me into the suite...

The moment his hand left my body, I felt a ton of emptiness and loneliness..

I didn't want thins ending like this...I didn't want him to go back to Rwanda. I wanted to bumped into him everyday..

At this point I was okay with seeing him at a distance as long as he was close to me...

I know having him close was impossible but I should Atleast try and make a memory that would stick with me forever...

I stood from the sofa, staggered out of my suite and Infront of his..
I held tight to the recent captured courage and knocked...

When he opened he seemed surprised and worried to see me,"Is everything okay???

"Can I talk to you inside???"
"Sure!!" He opened the door wider for me to get in...

For a few seconds, we sat opposite each other in an awkward silence as the courage I had bottled up escaped me...

"I am still waiting for you to say something Amyra..."

Here goes nothing...

"I want us to have s*x... You are basically not back  together with Penelope yet and I want to have a memory to remember you with..."

"Do you even hear yourself???" He snapped at me...

I regretted my action instantly with eagerness to get out of there but couldn't bring myself to stand...

"You are practically in a messed up relationship and you want to drag me into it...How selfish can you be Amyra???" He said in disgust...

"I am..."
"Before I come back, I want you out of here before I do something I would regret..." And with that, he left the room...

This was the chance to leave but I just sat there drowning in sadness...This is not how it was supposed to end...

He isn't supposed to leave like that...He can't leave been angry at me, I must apologise...

I rose my the sofa and began walking towards the room I believe was the bedroom when we met midway..

"Adam I....."
He cupped my face in his palms and his lips lowered in the next second pressing hard to mine. His warm, luscious tongue licked between her my lips  sending tendrils of pleasure through me...

I am sure my face had lit up like a ten-thousand watt Christmas bulb..

"I have wanted to do that since the first day I saw you Amyra..." 

"Why didn't you???" I breathed out...

" Because I was sure I would love it and question everything..." His mouth swooped down to capture my lips again in the most excruciatingly lust-driven kiss and she loved...

He carried me bridal style into the bedroom and I could feel a pulse of lust hit me hard in the centre of my chest...

"I am sorry for being rude earlier...I am just a roller coaster of emotions..."

"Okay..." 

He kissed me again like I was the rarest creature before erasing my thoughts with what he did with his tongue, hands and lips..

My mind grew blissfully black as he made love to me and all I could wish for was to live in the moment forever...

" I am gonna miss you Adam Almasi...."

"Me too Amyra but atleast we have a memory that we will hold close to our hearts forever..."

"Yes Adam, every time I miss you I will just remember how beautifully you made love to me...."

The thoughts of never seeing him, touching him again or having him inside me  caused tears to slip out of my eyes...

"I am glad I made love to you, It was more than I ever imagined..." 

"Thank you..." That's all I managed to say...

I got lost in his scent and caress for a while wrapped up in his arms before coming back to reality...The fucked up reality..The horrifying pathetic story of my life..

As I walked out of his suite, my heart sank...
I thought I would come out feeling better but I came out feeling worse..

More empty and lonely...

I threw myself on the bed and lied in a foetal position...I sobbed and tears flooded like the waters rushing down the waterfall...

Sadness was draining through me at an alarming rate...

"What's wrong love????" 
I didn't reply...

"What happened???" Jacob asked, kneeling Infront of me..

"It's all your fault, my life is a mess...."

"Is this because of this morning???I said that I am sorry...."

"Just leave it...."I turned to the other side...

"If it will make you feel better, the investors are pulling out...There are three lawsuits filed against us...I feel so lost right now..."

I felt him lie beside me as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
" I don't know what I am going to do..The investors weren't interested  with our pitch or even our idea of even rebranding since day one and here I had my high hopes...."

"I am sorry Jacob that things didn't work out..."

"We will figure something out, right now I just want us to go out..."

"I  had a lot to drink myself, you can go ahead without me. I will just stay here..." And mourn for the person that wasn't even mine to begin with...

"As you wish. And stop crying now for heavens sake, you have already bought the whole of paris that should make you happy.." He seemed irritated...

"Anyway do you think Adam would join me for a drink???"

"Why don't you ask him???" The thought of Adam brought more tears to my eyes...

"The dude doesn't like me...I think he would agree to go if you ask him...." I can't believe the nerve of this man...

"He is leaving tomorrow morning, I don't think he wasn't to have a boys' night before his flight back home just let it go..."

"We can't allow that Amyra, we need much help we can get...We are losing everything and that means I won't be able to do much for you like I used to. But if you  get Adam to invest in my company, I will forever be grateful..."

I have never seen Jacob been so needy and desperate before...It was a first...

"I don't know anything about your company...."

"S*duction will work just fine..."

My expression hardened and instantly I felt utter contempt...

"How dare you!!!"I abruptly yanked myself away from him and stood from the bed..

"You don't have to sleep with him Love, just seduce...."

"You are despicable....." I slapped sanity back to him so hard that my hand felt pain and stormed out of the room...

I know I just had s*x with Adam but I felt so angry that Jacob would think of even asking me to sleep with Jacob for his own gain...

I am honestly done with him...All the I will leave my wife if you take me back shenanigans were all a lie and I am such a fool to believe him...

I wish I never agreed to meet him after that text. I wish I would have just deleted it and closed that chapter of my life once and for all... 

A/N
The next chapter is something you guys will love or hate...I don't know, it's all upto you...
