Sia's pov

*One year later*

I'm running late, way too late. Today's very important meeting of mine.

No, I'm not any company's CEO or earning way too much, I'm still freelancing.

I'm a full time freelancer now and there is this company who hired me for one project where I have to present the design which I've been working on from a while.

Sia's outfit

Today's Thursday, and thats why I am running late. Every Thursday and Monday I visit Aiden's Grave . Talking with him makes me feel good. I spent hours sitting there, staring at his grave.

The meeting is scheduled at 2 pm, its 1:40 and I'm still here looking for a bus or cab.

Finally, taking the cab I went to the company where I am going to present. It took me around 30 minutes to reach.

The exterior as well as interior of the office was amazing, I went inside, one of the employee came to take me to the conference room.

'' it was written in big bold letters, checking the important things I went inside to see the room was way bigger than a normal conference room, and it was filled with many people.

Looking at them seems like they were actually waiting for someone, more specifically me.

I took the seat beside Mr. Winston, who have hired me for this project

One old man around 60-65 stood up and said "lets see all the designs"

All?? I looked beside me and gave a questioning look, I got to know that this is some kind of competition that who's going to grab the deal.

I then turned to hear what the old man is saying, when I felt someone's eye on me

I looked around and saw diagonally opposite of me was sitting the man, whom I never wanted to see, Not in my dreams, not in real, Nowhere but here HE was glaring me viciously

He was giving me deadly looks, while I stare at him without any expression.

After few second, I break the eye contact and looked at other side

Xander's outfit

Apparently there are total 6 delegates, and I had to present at the last. Everyone presented and finally my turn came

I stood up and came at the front just then HE stood up and said " gentlemen, excuse me for a second. I need to ask something first. Who hired this girl? He said with an authorative tone

" Ou- Our Company, Mr. X " Mr. Winston who hired me stated

"Didn't you received my notice?" he was fully threatening and no one in the room said a thing, there faces were hung low even the old man who was speaking a moment before

"Sir, She's isn't permanent employee, we are working with her just for this project" Mr. Winston somehow replied

I was a mere spectator there, standing at the front. If it would've been the old Sia, she would've cried but the new me don't feel anything.

HE again turned towards me with a smirk " Well Miss Whoever you are, just start the presentation and make sure you don't end up giving presentation on how to make porn video"

People started whispering, and HE sat on his seat with his evil smirk. I looked at him for a second and took a deep breathe

"Thank You for your concern Mr. Black. Now, if you people are done whispering about me, Can we please start the Presentation?" I asked with a straight face

The room become pin drop silent, and I started the presentation

" That is it. If you have any questions please ask" I said at the end

The lights turned on and without wasting a second I came to my seat.

After few minutes the old man again stood up

" The product which I was looking for was efficient, cost effective, easy to handle and most importantly unique. None of the presentation which I saw has all the qualities. However, I do like Miss Evans presentation the most than others " he said and looked at my direction

" Her design were exceptionally creative and efficient. So the deal is yours Mr. Winston" he smiled towards me

Mr. Winston thanked me for a million times, and I gave him my practised fake smile

All this while, I could feel someone's burning gaze on me but I didn't looked at HIS direction, not once.

I was about to go but Mr. Winston stopped and told me about some party in which my presence is mandatory. I denied him so many times but he was persistent.

I avoid parties as it brings back memories, bad memories

Guess, I have no choice today.

Finally after saying goodbye I went to the elevator, the door was about to close just then a foot stopped it.

I looked up and saw HIM glaring me, I ignored and looked at the other side

" Look who we have here?? The bitch or should I say the burden?" He asked

I chose to ignore and switched on my phone, Aiden's picture came up, I stared at my baby but suddenly my phone was snatched from me

Before I could react, he pinned me to the wall and said " From where did you got all this guts? Huh??" His face was so close to mine

He was gripping my waist tightly, digging his nails on my waist and I just stood there looking away

" Ignore, Ignore all you want but I will never let you forget how much of a disappointment you are! " He said in my ears and then bite my ear lobe as hard as he can

He have no idea that I'm already broken and whatever he do or say won't affect me.

I looked up straight in his eyes, his eyes still hold hatred for me. He was getting pissed off by my ignorance, I could tell that by looking at him.

Looking in his eyes, I spoke calmly " Don't worry I'll never forget. Now, Please give me my phone, Mr. Black"

He looked beyond shocked with my reply and his grip on my waist loosened, which gave me an opportunity to take my phone back

The elevator has reached ground floor, so I took my phone back quickly and looked at him in his eyes for a minute, and with this I leave the elevator.

-----------------

I saw him after one and half years, and all the good and bad memories came flashing in my mind but the good thing is Now I'm void of giving any kind of emotion.

HE don't know that I'm not the old Sia, who could do anything to see him happy. He's the one who changed me, and made me like this.

No, I don't hate him, hate is an emotion and I don't have any emotion left. I'm not going to take any revenge, I don't believe in revenge, I believe in Karma

I could see that he still loathe me to the core

I don't feel anything after Aiden, not happiness nor sadness. Its like all my tears have dried. I don't stutter anymore.

People think that I've become a very confident person but the truth is I'm BROKEN beyond Anything.

---------------------

I decided to wear a casual yet formal look for the party, now I wear all kind of clothes. The old me have never wore short clothes but now its different

I did minimal makeup hiding my dark circles and made a pony tail as it looks casual as well as formals.

I got the notification that the cab is already here, locking the apartment I left for the party

----------------

The venue was at some hotel. reaching the address, I went inside and looked for Mr. Winston, my plan was to just show him that I came and then leave

But before I could find him, a voice behind me commented on my clothes and I knew exactly who it was

" The Nun is wearing a dress, a freaking dress" Kyle Stauffer laughingly commented

I turned around to see the three devils near the counter drinking while smirking except Cole Miller and I wonder why?

I was about to walk away but they were faster than me. The three of them came infront of me, Kyle was giving me his evil smirk, Cole was staring me plainly while Xander Black was busy eyeing my outfit from top to bottom.

" No hello nothing? Bad manners Dumbo" Kyle said mockingly

" Did you Miss me?? " Mr. Black suddenly asked and without waiting for my reply he spoke again

" I mean I missed you so much, really Sia. I missed how amazingly good fuck you're, I'm sure you also missed me so lets go to MY PENTHOUSE where I will fuck you like anything " he added smirking

I looked at all three of them, and then spoke looking straight in Xander Black's eyes

Xander's outfit

" I'm honoured that you missed me but I'm sorry to break your heart that the feeling isn't mutual, Now if you people will Excuse me?? I need to go see Mr. Winston. Thank for the offer though" I gave them my perfect fake smile and left from there

To say they were shocked would be an understatement, Kyle almost choked his drink, while Xander Black was looking at me like he will kill me with his eyes.

----------------------

Finally after meeting Mr. Winston, I leave the party. I was about to go outside the hotel just then a hand pulled me and pinned me to the wall.

I tried to struggle to get out from the tight grip, but it only became more tight.

"What is this Mr. Black?" I asked

" Oh please Bitch Shut up!! You will regret insulting me infront of my friends." he threatened me

" I'm sorry but I don't believe in the idea of insulting anyone. Now, Can you please leave me?" I spoke calmly

" Yeah you didn't insulted me, right? You are so naive and pure right? And you've got the guts to ignore The Xander Black" He spoke with a venomous tone

"I never said that I'm naive or pure, and if I ignore you or not I don't think your life revolves around my ignorance" I looked straight in his eyes

" Oh Fuck off Bitch, Anyway tell me about your trashy baby, did you aborted or what?? " He spoke

"You don't need to worry about my trashy baby, it will be better that you focus on your life seeing that your revenge has been successful" I said to him

He was pissed off by my reply, I could tell because his grip on my waist became tighter than ever

" Remember, you're responsible for all this" he said in a threatening tone and looked around.

Before I could realise he started kissing me more like biting my lips. He bite my lips so hard that blood started oozing out. After what felt like hours he left me but not before whispering " Ignore me now if you can and wait for tomorrow, bitch "

" Don't take pictures, she is my personal Escort, I don't want to be seen with her" he said loudly to the people

They started taking pictures, and I got to know that why he specifically mentioned to not click pictures

With his famous smirk, he left and I also left with the straight face

Knowing him, I'm sure he will do something nasty, but I don't care

Finally I came back to my apartment, changing my clothes, I took my anti- depressant pills and started doing another project of mine because sleep is something I'm not able to get properly since one and half years.
