Chapter 4 Public Disgrace

(Ariel's POV)

After Dave's comment were several other people's comments. Most of them were calling her names, telling her that she just wanted fame.

"You are such a stupid and helpless lady, you probably forced Dave to take a picture with you, because why would he want to take a picture, talk less of a romantic one with a girl like you."

"You are just Jealous. our Dave could never have dated you"

"Brielle is way prettier than you so please stop embarassing Dave"

"You his real woman? Babess you're decieving yourself"

" Are you dumb, he said you were his mistake, i am embarrassed for you"

" If i were you i would not wanna live again"

"You are a really shameless woman to come out like this"

"I do not know why Dave ever talked to you, you're so ugly".

"All this is bullshit, you probably just edited a picture of Dave and Brielle and put your face on it. Your are so hopeless girl, i am glad i do not actually know you"

"Brielle side chick? Babe she is the main girl, you are not even fit to his side chick"

"Girl you just want fame, dave should have never met some one lie you"

The more she read the comment the more the tears streamed from her eyes, she could not hold them back. She began to hear whispers around her. A young lady who had actively been on her phone had just seen the post.

She looked at her phone then at Ariel, then whispered to her group of friends, they looked at Ariel pointed and began to laugh. Ariel cried more seeing their treatment towards her, Dave had humiliated her in the worst way possible. She was at the court in her simple wedding gown and he had proposed to someone else. Her phone rang. It was Mia, just the person she needed right now. Mia was the only person who cared about her now. It had been Mia and Dave that had been her favourite people but now Dave was her worst enemy. She picked the call and Mia's concerned voice filled her ears.

"Ariel, oh my goodness i could never have guessed he would do that to you, after you guys have spent seven years together, seven good years. I guess he had always been a cheating bastard all along. He does not deserve you, he never has, he is a fool for treating you like this, for hurting you, I now how much you love him, You left were you were, you left me, just to start life again with him. He is a fool"

"Oh Mia, i am so heartbroken right now, i do not know what to do, He called me his worst mistake! He said he never loved me, i should have seen the signs, Oh Mia its all my fault i was so stupid"

It is not your fault my love, you have always looked at the best in people, he is a fool for dumping you the way he did, you did nothing wrong, just leave the court and go and cool off, i wish i was there with you".

As the call ended, Ariel's emotion changed from that of pain, hurt, self pity to that of vengance.

" I am going to get my revenge on Dave" Ariel says out loud. Ariel vows to marry the first rich looking guy she would encounter on her way out.

As she stepped further away from the courthouse, she caught sight of a luxury car parked nearby, its polished exterior glimmering in the sunlight. A reckless idea ignited within her a chance to channel her anger. In a moment of defiance, she approached the car, heart racing with adrenaline.

She immediately breaks the wind shield, the sound of shattering glass echoed in the air, a burst of chaos, she felt so much better. She Stepped back, her heart pounding as she reveled in the thrill of her actions. But as the adrenaline faded, the weight of reality settled in. What had she done? Panic seeped into her thoughts, and she glanced around, fear gripping her.

Before she could fully process her actions, a tall figure approached.The man stood there, a mix of amusement and disbelief in his expression. He was strikingly handsome, with dark hair and a confident demeanor that made her pulse quicken.

"What have you done?" he asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

Ariel felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, she composed herself. " Oops! I do not have money to pay, but i can pay back by warming your bed."

"Looks like you're quite the drama queen," he interrupted, lifting her chin with a gentle yet firm touch. His gaze was intense, searching for something beneath her anguish. "But you should know, breaking things doesn't solve anything, it can only serve as an immediate relief from the pain you might be feeling now, but it will never solve anything. In the process of breakings things you could hurt yourself which would result in more harm than you intended."

His words struck a chord within her. Anger bubbled up again, but before she could respond, he handed her a business card, the embossed letters glinting in the sunlight. "Marry me, and we're even."

(Jayden's POV )

Jayden had come to an italian restaurant to eat. He particularly love the restaurant because of how small it was and how homely it always made him feel. He had been going through so much in his personal life from his girlfriend Anna leaving him to the pressures from his parents. Work had also been hectic for him. He had just taken over his Father;s company "Fetcher Group of companies", and he was still adjusting to the management.

The Italian resturant had always served as a place for him to get away from all the stress in his life. He also like the area the resturant was located, he would always seat at the window of the resturant whenever he could escape from his life and watch other people go about theirs. The fact that the restaurant was opposite a court made it very interesting to seat by the window. There was always one drama or another.
