Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

He removed my hands from holding the hem of his shirt and continue walking away. He closes the door with a loud bang and I flinched as I cry even more.

He is furious and it's my fault.

When I realized that he might go home without me I panicked.

No, no, no he can't go without me. I need to hurry. I get the bag of food he bought for me and go after him. I didn't even bother to wear my shoes. I look like a mess with my hair flying anywhere and I am crying like crazy. All of the men in suit that I passed are eyeing me with lots of concern in their eyes.

"Where did Deus go?" I choked because of sobbing too much.

"He already went down the yacht." he said and I cry even more.

"Come with me. I need to go out from here. Come on." I hold his wrist and pulled him with me.

"Okay ma'am calm down. I will show you the way. Come" I am glad he is so nice.

He assists me and help me all the way out. The wind is so cold. It is hitting my face and I bet my hair gets more messier this time.

The moment I stepped on the ground I run as fast as I can to find him. I can't see him. Maybe he already left.

The bodyguard who helps me run after me shouting my name.

"Maám Ellie. Calm down. I know where he might be. Come on, don't need to panic we will catch up with him. Let's go this way." he delicately hold my arm and guide me. He even handed me his handkerchief.

"Thank you" I said before wiping my face. I look like a mess and I know that.

After minutes of walking, I finally saw him from a far. He is talking to Tres. Ali is standing few steps away. My tears start falling again. Ahh, I hate this. When did I became such a cry baby? I look like a lunatic right now.

Ali noticed me and run towards me.

"Oh my gosh. Why are you crying? Are you okay? Ellie?" she removes all the hair that is blocking my face she looks into my eyes and I cried harder.

Damn these emotions.

"Hey, where is your shoes? Don't tell me you run here barefooted. Why? What happened?" he pats my back as I cry so hard. She tied my hair in a ponytail and wipe my sweats.

"Shhh calm down. Breathe." she pat my back again and again to calm me down.

When she got no answer from me, she asked the bodyguard instead.

"What happened?"

"She was crying running after Sir Deus. I just helped her out." he explained

"Did you two had a fight? Did he hurt you?" she asked me sweetly. I shake my head

"I hurt him" I said and my tears can't stop from falling. I am already feeling hot because I'm sweating and my head starts spinning.

"Please, tell him not to go without me. Tell him I'm sorry. I really am. Talk to him for me. Ali, please" I pleaded while I sob in her shoulders.

I really don't want to lose him.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry" I sobbed feeling blameworthy of what’s happening.

"Hush now. He will not leave you. I'll talk to him, okay? Calm down. You might have an asthma attack. I will talk to him if that is the way to calm you down." she said and I feel relieved a little.

My eyes are so puffy. My head is heavy. I felt so tired even though I just woke up from long hours of sleep.

I hugged her still and I don't want to let go because I am feeling weak.

"Shhhhhh" she continues rubbing my back comforting me. I am glad she is with me.

"Can you please bring us some chair?" I heard her make some request to the bodyguard who I forgot is still standing behind me. He gave us chairs. Ali stays beside me and I hug her tighter. I should thank her and the bodyguard later for helping me out. I closed my eyes and take deep breaths. I wipe my nose from time to time.

Moments after and I heard footsteps.

"Hey what happened?"

Tres... I look up to him and look at the place where I saw him and Deus talking.

I stand up immediately the moment I didn't see Deus there. I panickily roam my eyes around looking for him. Did he go home? Did he leave already?

"Ali, he left me." I weep and try to wipe my endless tears using the back of my hands. I cried a bucket today. I guess this was what he felt when I left him. This is unbearable.

"Damn your brother. Where did that asshole go?" Ali shouted at Tres. Tres eyes widened because of Ali's sudden outburst. I felt sorry for him.

"Calm Down, he just use the restroom Tiger." Tres smirked at Ali. "Now care to tell me what happened to Ellie?" he asked while sweetly caressing my hair.

"Why are you asking me? Why don't you ask your damn of a brother? Next time I will see my best friend like this I will kick him in the spot where sun doesn't shine." she threatened him but Tres doesn't seem to bother at all. He is even laughing heartily at what she said.
