Chapter 127 - A one night stand (1/2)

Tiana stepped out of the car and her eyes glanced at the beautiful bungalow in front of her;

Even if she worked her ass out for twenty years on end, she wouldn't still afford such beauty. But it was hers now, all served on a platter; she was lucky, wasn't she?

Not only did she get a house, she had over five million dollars in her account, wow! How did she become a millionaire overnight?

Tiana forced a smile to her cheeks, but she knew how much it ripped her apart to watch the sight in front of her.

''Ma'am, this is the key to the gates; the other keys are on each door.''

A guard walked to her and handed her a key, and Tiana's lips thinned; her hands fisted for a moment before she lifted it and took the key from him;

''If there's nothing else, we'll be on our way.''

He said and bowed a little before turning around.

Tiana felt a great wave of loneliness wash through her as they drove away. She had never felt this lonely in her life before, not even when her parents died, not even when she was locked up in the dark room. The pain she was feeling at that moment was miserably excruciating.

She had vowed never to cry for him again, but at that moment, she couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes, she blinked severally, biting on her lower lip to hold it in, but it poured out without control and in the next second, she was down, wailing like a baby.

Tiana squatted in front of her gate and cried her eyes out; it hurt so much…

She never believed someone could be able to lie without batting an eyelid, with no atom of remorse. She must give it to him; he was a good actor.

She wanted to meet him and ask him to the face, what she did so wrong; it wasn't for the debt, because Nicklaus was way above it, it could only mean that he truly derived joy from inflicting pain, and her doom began the day she tried to deny him that pleasure.

She wanted to watch him look her in the eyes and tell her it had all been a lie, that she was some delusional woman who thought she could win the heart of a cold-blooded monster;

But of what use was it? If he said that to her, it would hurt more than it did already; and the last thing she wanted now was to watch him laugh at her miserable state again.

Why was her fate this way?

First it was a childhood crush, who left her at the slightest provocation, and without even batting an eyelid, got a new girlfriend in a few weeks, next was a heartless CEO, who swept her off her feet, showered her with love only for her to realize that she had been living a mirage?

Someone would have thought with such a pretty face, she would have a great luck, but was an irony; her luck was such a piece of shit!

Tiana didn't know how long she squatted, but by the time she stood up, her feet had pins and needles all over. She gritted her teeth as she dragged herself to the gate and opened it; pulling herself towards the building.

As the guard had said, there was a key on the front door, Tiana just unlocked and pushed the door open. She stopped by the entrance as her eyes took in the house's beauty.

High vaulted ceiling, sofas, a large television, glass tables, dining and flower vases. She heaved a sigh; everything in here must have cost a fortune, but it was nothing to them.

Her eyes fell to her hands;
