Chapter 131 - She would come back, right? (1/2)

She bit her lower lip as the pain she felt within turned to anger and resentment; at that moment, her whole body coursed with resentment and fury.

How could God let her meet such a wicked soul?

She grieved as she dialed her sister's number; her head was still banging, so she sat down on the couch and shut her eyes;

''Tiana, how are you? Sorry I wasn't able to check up since I've been busy…''

''Gwen… ''

Gwen's words cut off when she heard her sister call her weakly; her brows creased;

''Tiana, what's wrong? Are you okay? ''

''No, Gwen, I'm not okay, I want you to come over. ''Tiana spoke slowly. Her breath hitched.

Gwen was stunned;

Fine, she was not feeling well, but wasn't Nicklaus there, he should be able to take care of her. Why was she calling her, was there a problem?

Gwen thought, but even though she was having a bad feeling she decided not to ask, she was coming back from her workplace when Tiana called; so she just turned around;

''Okay, I'll just get a taxi; I'll be there in a bit… ''

''No… '' Tiana cut her off and breathed out;

''no, not there… I'll text you an address. ''

Gwen was too stunned to ask any question. The phone was still on her ear even when Tiana disconnected.

Okay, it was past 7pm and Tiana was calling to tell her she was sick and she wasn't at Nicklaus's?

Did something happen?

Did… did they break up?

Her eyes widened as the thought dawned on her. She blinked her eyes severally as she tried to understand what was going on.

But why would they break up so soon? According to Tiana, they were very close, and he doted on her, so why would he leave her?

She felt her phone beep on her palm and she lifted it up to her eyes and she saw there was a message from Tiana. Clicking on it, she saw it was an address.

She frowned.

A part of her wanted them to break up, but a part of her didn't. For the first, she was glad because if they did, then they would both be on the same level, no-one dating some multi-billionaire, and maybe she wouldn't hate her so much again. But the other part didn't, because if they did, then she wouldn't even get a chance with him.

But then, either way, she had nothing to lose, but she was eager to hear the reason for their separation.

Smiling, she turned towards the road and waved a taxi.

Gwen stood in front of the beautiful bungalow with a garden and a gate.

She turned to the sign post to be sure she was at the right place.

What was Tiana doing in this beautiful house?

Did Nicklaus bring her here? She wondered as she pressed the doorbell, but before she could press it, the gate pulled open on its own;

She did not lock the gate.

Gwen thought as she stepped in and walked towards the house.

Tiana slept off after she had called Gwen; her eyes fluttered when she heard a voice call her name.

''Gwen…'' She whimpered, pulling herself up from the couch;

Gwen walked to her and sat beside her, her hand feeling her forehead;

''Oh my God, Tiana, you're running a fever! ''
