Chapter 1

Vanessa's POV

That morning was not as usual, the sky looked cloudy, and not many birds were singing. The sun seemed to be hiding behind the gray clouds. I, who was still sitting on the bed in my favorite pink pajamas, was still very sleepy. I rubbed my eyes and yawned occasionally, my hair was probably still a mess by then, I tucked my feet in my furry slippers to keep warm, and right in front of me was a window that let me know what was going on out there.

I woke up when my alarm went off, I'm Vanessa, I'm the only child of George and Marie, yes, they're my parents. My father is a CEO and my mother is a housewife, they were born into a wealthy family. In my father's family, daughters like me are not allowed to work, they regard daughters as queens and they are not allowed to make money. That's why at the age of 26, I was only at home.

To be honest, even though I don't work like the others, I still have a few friends and a boyfriend. My little best friend Irene and my boyfriend Noah, are always there for me and make my life less sad. I envy them, Irene and Noah work in the same company, Noah helps Irene to work there and since then they spend a lot of time together. I'm jealous because I can't work, not because of the time they spend together.

But I'm lying, I sometimes envy their closeness which I feel is a bit excessive. We often go out together on the weekends, and a few times Irene comes with me and Noah when we want to spend some time together. At first, I didn't mind, because she's my best friend but after a while I became uncomfortable. She doesn't give me one-on-one time with Noah and it's been 3 days since Noah hasn't contacted me.

I don't want to be suspicious of them because I don't have any proof, but my heart says what I think is true. I took my phone which I put next to the pillow. I saw no incoming calls or messages from him. This is strange because no matter how busy he is, he must contact me.

I called Irene to ask if Noah was coming to the office that day, I had nothing else to ask about Noah other than her.

"Hello?" Irene said.

"Oh hi, it's me, am I bothering you?" I said.

"No, why are you calling so early?" Irene said.

"Are you at the office?" I said.

"Yes, I just arrived, what's wrong?" Irene said.

"Is Noah there? I mean, can you get him to call me?" I said.

"Why? Didn't he contact you?" Irene said.

"Yes, maybe he was exhausted and forgot to contact me, I'm just worried for him, can you convey my message to him?" I said.

"Yeah of course, and I have to get to work soon, I'll hang up, bye Vanessa," Irene said and she immediately hung up the phone.

Strangely, Irene is my best friend, but contacting her makes me uncomfortable. She didn't even like me calling hed. Maybe I should go to Noah's apartment, I should check on him myself, I just want to make sure he's okay.

***

All day it feels like my head is only filled with Noah and Irene. I don't know why but it feels so sickening. It sucks when I suspect them and it turns out what I thought was right. Although I hope it's never true.

"I know you're thinking about something, is it about Noah?" My mom said she seemed to read my mind.

"Yes, how do you know Mom?" I said.

"Because you wouldn't think about anything but that guy," my mom said.

"Mom, I know this sounds weird, but why do I feel uneasy thinking about Noah and Irene? I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable right now" I say.

"Noah and Irene? what do you mean?" my mother said.

"You know, Irene works in the same company as Noah, they often spend time together because of their jobs, and it's been 3 days that Noah hasn't contacted me, am I wrong if I'm suspicious of them?" I said.

"Wait, what do you mean, Noah cheated on you?" my mother said.

"I hope not," I said.

"Did you two fight before?" my mother said.

"No, ah I mean yes, but it's not a big problem, it's just a small problem and.. mom, I've been dating Noah for 5 years, he never asks anything else from me, and the last time we met he asked me to do that, you know what that, and of course I don't want to, I just want to do it with my husband," I say. Yes, I may be too open to my mother but only she can keep my secret and be a good listener to me.

"Have you tried contacting him?" my mother said.

"Yeah, many times, but he's not picking up my calls," I say.

"Then meet him and talk things over. It's a choice for both of you, not just his" My mom said.

"I know, I'm going to his apartment tonight, I don't know what time he'll be home today but I'll be going after dinner," I said, I hope everything I'm thinking isn't true, I hope all my fears and worries are wrong.

***

I drove my car to Noah's apartment, it was 9 pm, and there was no way he was not there right? He rarely stays late, and he can't be home too late, after all, I can get into his apartment if he's not home. The distance from my house to the apartment is not far, it only takes 20 minutes to drive.

When I arrived at the parking lot, I saw his car parked there, a smile appeared on my face, I'm happy because I didn't come in vain. I immediately went up to the unit and after arriving at the door, I immediately entered the access code, but it was strange because the code I entered was wrong. Then I rang the bell and wished he was home.

Not long after the door opened and he appeared there, after 3 days I didn't see him and now he was in front of me, his clothes looked messy and I just looked at him.

"Vanessa, what are you doing here? It's late" Noah said.

"What do you mean? I'm your girlfriend, and I came as I usually do, it's still 9 pm. Aren't I allowed to come here?" I said.

"No, that--"

"Noah, who are you talking to?" Hearing that voice broke my heart. I know whose voice it is, I know that voice is well.

"Who's that?" I said.

"Vanessa you better go, I'll call you," Noah said.

"Are you cheating on me?" I said with my voice cracking, my eyes started to tear up.

"Vanessa--" I slapped him, I slapped him and my tears flowed, not long after that the woman appeared from behind Noah and was surprised to see me, she was only wearing a shirt on her body, that's all.

"Vanessa, this--" Irene said.

"No! I don't want to hear anything from you two, this is why you haven't contacted me for 3 days? You were busy making out with my own best friend?" I said.

"Vanessa I can explain to you," Noah says.

"No, this is clear enough for me, why? Why are you doing this to me?" I left there, my legs felt weak and everything was spinning in my head, Noah chased me to the parking lot and grabbed my hand before I managed to open my car.

"Vanessa wait, listen to me first, this--"

"Enough Noah! I love you, I love you so much, 5 years we were together, and I can't believe this, you betrayed me, you cheated on me, with my best friend, why? is this because I don't want to do it with you? hm? And she wants to do it with you? why are you so mean to me? you hurt me,” I said.

"I love you Vanessa but, with her, I feel comfortable and with her I get what I can not get from you," Noah said.

"What thing do you mean? sex? what is it that you didn't find in me and you got from her?" I said.

"I know I'm stupid, I'm sorry Vanessa, please forgive me," Noah says and I just pull my hand away from him.

"I was worried about you Noah, I thought you were busy at work and tired but what did I see? You were busy making out with another woman, you even changed your access code, would if I forgive you this would be worth the pain? I don't think so, we over Noah, I'm done," I quickly got into my car and left, I saw Noah chasing my car but I ignored him, it hurts so much, it was like a nightmare. Am I still asleep? anyone, please wake me up.
