As soon as Kiara opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Heather staring down at her eagerly."What do you want now, Heather? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Heather grinned."How did the date go last night? Levi thought he was slick but I saw him carrying you up to your lastnight but I just didn't want to say anything" Kiara furrowed her eyebrows then glanced around. Shereally was in her room.

“I didn't even know when I fell asleep, I must have been too tired" Heather suddenly frowned thengrabbed onto Kiara's face.

"What is it?" Kiara questioned with furrowed eyebrows.

“Did you cry last night? What did Zane do this time?" Heather questioned through clenched teethand Kiara sighed before pushing her hand away.

“It's nothing, I was just reminded of Nikolas" Heather sighed as she sat down on the bed.

“What happened?” Kiara sighed.

“Can we not talk about that? Just know that the date with Levi went well and I enjoyed my time withhim" Heather smiled.

“Even with Zane there?"

"He left shortly after" Heather's eyes widened slightly.

“Really? I didn't expect that. I thought he was going to breath down you and Levi's neck for the restof the night. That explains why Levi was the one who brought you home" Heather muttered andKiara couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, her phone dinged. She picked it up and was surprised to see about five messages fromZane.

“You still have his number?" Kiara turned to Heather as soon as she asked that.

“I saved it last night after the message he sent me. We might not get back together but must we beenemies?" Heather rolled her eyes.

“Can you hear yourself, Kiara? There's no way you and Zane can just be friends and if you don't cuthim off now, you'll not be able to cut him off later. You know what,give me your phone” Heathertried reaching out for the phone but Kiara moved her hand away.

“Wait, let me read what he has to say first" Heather sighed.

"Kiara..."

"Please, let me just read it, okay?" Heather stared at her for a while then sighed before nodding."Okay but after that, we'll delete and block his number, okay?" Kiara nodded slowly then sat up withthe phone in hand. She took a deep breath before opening his message.

“Good morning, my love. I hope you slept well because I did"

“My dreams were filled with you and I honestly never wanted to wake up because of that. I miss youso much, my love’ She only noticed she was crying when Heather wiped away her tears with herthumb.

She took a deep breath before Reading on.

“I'm replaceing it so hard to get up from bed because there's nothing I look forward to anymore. I knowI sound stupid since I was the one that pushed you away and destroyed what we had and that guiltand regret is going to haunt me forever

Just know that I love you and I'll never stop begging you for a chance, a second chance is all I askfor'

“And please don't delete or block my number. Even if you don't reply to me, I'm happy with the factthat you at least read my messages because I'll never stop sending them’ She sniffled after readingall his messages because she could feel the emotions in them

“Are you okay?" She turned to Heather and saw the sad look on her face. Kiara shook her head.

“I'm not okay, Heather. Why is this happening to us? We used to be so happy. We were so happy inParis but then... everything fell apart so easily" Heather immediately wrapped her arms around herwith a sigh.

"Sometimes, things like this just happen for no reason” Kiara shook her head.

“I love him so much. Heather. You don't understand how much it hurts" Heather frowned.

“I was abandoned by the man I loved too, Kiara. Yes it does hurt but all we have to do is move on.Even if you decide to forgive Zane now, who's to say he won't be manipulated again and turn onyou? Don't take chances with him, Kiara when they're thousands of men out there that would loveto have you as theirs and treat you like a queen just the way you deserve. Yes, it's hard to move on,I've not totally moved on from Daniel but it's a slow process and no one is rushing us. I'm not goingto interfere anymore because I can't control your heart but until Zane begins to trust you, yourrelationship with him can never work out" Kiara cried on Heather's shoulder for almost an hour. Shewas just overwhelmed by all the emotions but one thing was for sure, she had to think of herself.What would benefit her? What would make her happy?

Yes, Zane did make her happy and did make her feel like a queen.... Literally but could he keep herfeeling that way forever or was something else going to push them away again?

After what felt like hours, Kiara pulled back from the hug, squeezed her phone in her, then just likethat, she deleted Zane's number and blocked it so he could never reach out to her again.

He had hurt her and ruined her life. As much as she loved him to death, she needed to rearrangeher life again before getting into a relationship. She wasn't going to lead Levi on as well becauseshe knew she would never love him as much as she loved Zane so why use him when he was a goodperson?

“Let's start over, Heather. I'm done with relationships for now. I just want to get back on my feet anddo the one thing I love the most, interior designing” Heather nodded slowly at her.

“If that's what you want then I'll always be here for you and I'll always be with you every step of theway" Kiara smiled. Heather would always be her pillar, a pillar that could never be broken...
