chapter 27

Lucy's eyes were red by the time she reached her college. Tears refused to stop flowing out of her eyes.Godly handsome Eric Willson, weren't you supposed to be kind and gentle? Then why did you say those things?"Lucy!"Molly greeted her but Lucy didn't wave back."Hey, what's wrong? You look so pale."From beside her, Laura snickered, "What's wrong? Did the man yesterday dump you? You were looking so much in love. Did you confess and got your heart broken?"Molly narrowed her eyes."Nobody asked your opinion, Laura. So get going with your sidekicks."Laura flared.She was really mad at Lucy.Last night, when she had returned home, she found her house all messed up and all the little valuable things she had disappeared. There was a sudden robbery and when she had asked around, she came to know that it was only her house that was broken in.She only blamed Lucy for her bad luck.This bitch must have cursed me!Lucy's gaze dimmed.Heartbroken...Even if it wasn't the hurt of rejection, nevertheless she felt as if her heart really broke to hear those words coming out of Eric's mouth.Molly said, "Ignore her. Let's go inside."Laura smirked as they went away.After what I went through yesterday, there is no way I would let you go unharmed.In the washroom, Molly asked, "Lucy. Tell me. What happened? Something is wrong," she paused, "did what Laura say is really true?"Luct shook her head.She wiped her tears and explained what happened.Molly was in utter shock to know that Eric shifted to live at her apartment."What!? That CEO is your neighbor now?""But I don't care anymore," she sniffled. "He said those horrible things about sis Luca. How can he be so cruel and say that she would never return?"Molly sighed. "It is indeed a hurtful thing to say..."She patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, Lucy. He might realize his mistake and apologize. Give him one chance."Lucy turned her head. "I don't know about that. You didn't see how he spoke to me. He talked about it so plainly and emotionlessly as if sis Luca's life meant nothing to him. I will not forgive him for this!"---
