Chapter 4 Tony Lopez

Tony's pov

He is sitting in his car rubbing his thumb against the other fingers and the palm trying to recollect the softness of the hands they had touched. It has been 10 years since his hands had last felt hers.

'I saw her this close 10 years back. If there was any change in her, its her external beauty, her skin is more radiant than before and her body has better curves.

When I looked into her emerald orbs they showed the same tenderness and innocence that captivated me 10 years back. Her deceitful eyes can mould any person and make him dance according to her whims and fancies. That enchantress rode on my coattails 10 years back, ruined me completely for a mere trophy; but now its my turn for revenge...

I was deeply satisfied to see fear in her eyes, fear of loosing money, something that never bothered that bitch when she was wealthy.

I was a pauper then; but now I am the wealthiest in the city. The tables have turned and now she is in the same position that I was 10 years back; poor and miserable. She thanked God today for her destiny, little does she know that each and every part of her life has been planned by the devil himself; by me.

I have ensured that she gets a taste of my life before we had met and she will suffer the same way I suffered after meeting her. I planned it all that she works as a waitress and a cleaner that the way my life was before meeting her. People bully her and coerce her to do their work the way her friends bullied me then. I ensured she gets minimal work for a year and other than my company no one accepts her. Her precious friends often laughed at my ragged clothes the way her colleagues laugh. She may consider this as misery but what she doesn't know that this is just a start. More horrifying days will be endured. Its not just humiliation but I will rip her off her dignity the way that bitch did to me.

My dear mother always wanted me to become doctor. We worked hard for daily meals and the fees. This bitch not only snatched my mother from me but also her hopes she had placed on me. I wanted to become a DOC and I became a DON.

Both see blood, both make people bleed but unlike a doc, I take away their lives. Does it give me pleasure. No, but destiny has been cruel with me. I was a scholar ship student: only if I had not fallen for her, my life would have been so different.

She ruined my fate but forgot my face. When she was rich she never cared about poor souls like us, but I am now going to teach her a lesson. I will make her remember everything; how an ignorant fool like me gave her attention believing in her fakeness. I will show her a mirror for her to see how ugly she is from within. As for her external beauty, its my right to play with. She will curse God for giving her this beauty and fakeness she when will be writhing under me in pain. I will ensure that the world see her true self. I will make her my whore.'

*************

Amelia returned home after the heavily exhaustive day to be greeted by her roommate Sandra who had surprisingly reached the apartment before her.

"What happened. Your mood looks different."

Amelia narrated the unfortunate events that occurred earlier during the day how she lost her bag and Tony Lopez returning it.

"Oh My God! Amy you lost 2000$ in a single day and don't tell me you got it back. Am I hearing it right?". Amelia nodded

"I don't think this is mere coincidence. It seems your knight in shinning armour was destined to meet you. Your beloved God must have planned him for you. Lucky you." Sandra winked at Amelia.

She didn't like the remark Sandra made as she wasn't excited to meet the man in riches. She was happy the man helped her return her bag but his intimidating dark aura was a definite repellent. Her beloved God would definitely not plan her for someone like. She was too simple and completely miniscule in front for him. Not only in terms of height and strength but also his attitude and authority. The way the officers completely ignored a common person like her in front of him just showed the magnificent power he exuded. Additionally he accused her of flirting. So apart from getting her bag back there was no excitement in meeting someone of his status.

She was lost in her thoughts when Sandra snapped fingers in front of her. "Dream girl, already dreaming about prince charming. He really seems to have an impact on you"

"That's not true Sandra". Amelia tried explaining her that Tony wasn't of her type. There was a lot of discomfort she had faced right since he entered the station.

"you said it yourself that he is rich and handsome. C'mon don't tell me you wont fall for him." Amelia wasn't the type who would be lured by riches and looks. She wasn't very successful in her past relationships but she always gave importance to the inner beauty of a person and not the external beauty and assets accompanying them.

"Believe me Sandra I will never fall for someone like Tony in my entire life" Amelia gave a thought further. "By the way why are we even having such a useless discussion. Why are you pushing me towards a man I may never even meet?"

Sandra raised her eyebrows. "You are beautiful and single and its high time you understand you need to get hooked. You are too engrossed in trusting your instincts to find the inner beauty and see how your past relationships ended. Michael disappeared like a ghost and Rafael was found in bed with someone. They were the ones you tried to connect with." Sandra laid special importance on the word 'connect with' while performing a gesture kiss using her hands.

"All I can say is My Bad. I am still surprised why Mike left. He was the only friend I had after my destiny's stop from riches to rags. He supported me so well when I was in need of a shoulder to cry. I never thought Mike would abandon me leaving just a note behind especially when he was so close to me all the time since my father died, never left me even for a second absorbing all the negativities in my life. I expected him to at least come and tell me in person what went wrong"

Amelia was sipping her coffee looking outside the window analysing her past while discussing with Sandra. " I went and knocked at his door so many times but he simply refused to even show his face. Messages unanswered, never returned my calls as if I was a horror show in his life."

Sandra put her hand on Amy's shoulder to comfort her only to see her moist eyes back.

"Thank your God Amy, your second douchebag of a boyfriend Rafael was seen naked with another girl while you two were dating."

"I realised that all men want sex and abstaining from that during your relationship can make it difficult for the relationship to work at times."

Her reply totally puzzled Sandra. "Your boyfriend cheated on you and you are blaming yourself for the break-up. How will a saint like you survive this cruel world" Sandra was shaking her head side to side in disbelief.

"I am not blaming myself. I am just trying to reason out things. Probably my refusal to have sex with him until our wedding night proved costly for me."

"So how about Tony, in case you meet him again and develop a connection , will you go ahead." Sandra was picking her chin, a habit she had formed while solving puzzles.

"I don't understand why are you so obsessed in linking me with him? Guys with immense wealth often find someone of their status for themselves. I don't even stand a chance to be his maid" Amelia and Sandra both laughed at her exaggeration of words.

"Plus, I got aa negatives vibes while talking to him. So there is no chance for your so called connection with him. I really would like to stay away from such kind of people as much as possible." She phewed to express the state of relief.

Unbeknownst to them someone was watching and hearing her entire conversation while laughing out loudly.
