Chapter 53 - He's In The Past Now



She stared at the post for so long that she lost count of time when she regained herself; her bed was already soaked with her tears;

He had moved on already, so fast?

Tiana mumbled to herself. She had not yet gotten over him and he had moved on as though she didn\'t even matter? Did he ever love her at all?

Tiana wondered as she stared at her phone; her eyes still leaking tears;

The sight was so painful that she quickly tossed her phone aside and buried her face on the bed, crying out her lungs. Just that moment, there was a knock on her door.

Tiana froze and instantly turned to the door;

\'\'The food you ordered is here. \'\'

She heard Nicklaus say, and her heart reeked of disgust for him. She hated him! God, she hated him to her bones. If it wasn\'t for him, she would have been the one in Adrian\'s arms now!

She couldn\'t even bring herself to reply; she just turned around and continued crying. After some time she wiped her eyes and stood up from the bed; she didn\'t have an appetite anymore, but she didn\'t want to waste the food.

So walking to the bathroom, she washed her face with water before leaving the room.

She walked a few steps and stopped;

Her meal was kept on the dining table, but that was not what made her stop, it was the fact that Nicklaus was sitting on the table too, and eating.

Her chest squeezed tightly, and she clenched her fists; she didn\'t want to stay anywhere close to him now, but just when she wanted to turn around and head back to her room, Nicklaus turned to her;

She immediately eased the frown on her face and released her fists; he had already seen her, she could not go back to her room anymore.

Forcing a faint smile to her lips; Tiana walked to the dining table.

Her food was placed next to Nicklaus, but she didn\'t sit there, rather she carried her tray to the farthest end of the dining table and sat down. The last thing she wanted now was to be anywhere close to him.

She just wished the five months was already over because she was tired of pretending that everything was okay when it was not. She was boiling inside and soon she would explode. She just prayed it wouldn\'t be now.

Nicklaus watched her carry her tray to the farthest chair and sit down; his cutlery becoming stiff in his hands.

She was really avoiding him like a plague. He raised his eyes briefly to her, and he saw that her eyes were swollen and her face was all red and his face paled instantly.

Did she cry?

Nicklaus felt a tug on his chest and he felt like asking her what was wrong but he quickly stopped himself; the last time he checked, he caused most of her troubles, he was in no position to ask anything, and besides, she would never answer.

But that didn\'t stop him from being worried.

He ransacked his head, checking if he had wronged her recently but he could not think of anything, so why was she crying?

He wondered in his mind, but he didn\'t speak.

Tiana dug some spoons into the plate and when she couldn\'t eat anymore, she stood up and carried the plates to take them to the kitchen but Nicklaus stopped her;

\'\'You can leave them there. \'\'

Tiana stared at her hands that were on the plate for a moment and then she let it go.

She walked back to her room, her head hung low.

Nicklaus watched her enter her room and his eyes darted back to her plates, and he saw that she had eaten nothing and he got more worried.

He wished he could ask her what was wrong with her but he couldn\'t, he had messed things up from the beginning and he had to live with the consequences.

When Tiana retired to her room, she slept off immediately. By the time she woke up, it was a few minutes past three. Remembering that they were going out; she jumped out of her bed and hurried out to wash her face. After washing her face, she applied some makeup to conceal her swollen eyes.

Maybe if she left the house and saw the city again, she would feel better.

Tiana thought as she dressed up in a red shirt and trousers and wore flat shoes. Since it was an evening meeting, it would be less formal. When she stepped out, Nicklaus was sitting on the couch, he was dressed in a blue shirt and black trousers, the shirt had two buttons unhooked; showing the outline of his tattoo and the sleeves were rolled up a little. When he heard some footsteps; he raised his eyes to her.

Their eyes met, but Tiana looked away immediately.

He saw that she was not looking as moody as she was earlier, she looked brighter.

\'\'Are you ready to go? \'\'

He asked when she walked towards the living room;

Tiana nodded faintly, avoiding his gaze. Nicklaus stood up and dropped the tablet on the table, picking his phone; he walked towards the front door.

\'\'Let\'s go. \'\'

He said, and she followed him quietly.

When they got downstairs; there was a car already waiting for them, when the driver saw them, he walked over to the other side and pulled open the car door for them.

Tiana recognized him as she stepped closer. He was the same driver from yesterday.

\'\'Good evening, Boss \'\'

He said, but Nicklaus did not reply. Before Tiana could walk to the other side like before, Nicklaus shifted a little, making way for her to enter the car.

Tiana was stunned, but she didn\'t say a word, she just stiffly entered the car and sat on the other side, almost kissing the window.

There was a lot on her mind now, but she didn\'t want to keep killing herself over things she could not change. Adrian was in the past now, and he had moved on. She had to move on too.

But most importantly; she had to concentrate on London. She shouldn\'t let her sadness intrude on such a beautiful trip she might not experience again.

With that, she heaved a deep sigh as she forced a smile to her cheeks; watching the beautiful houses sweep by.
