Anna’s pov

Whole night I was not able to sleep I don’t know why but I was scared what will happen I don’t know but I wasn’t getting good vibes

From morning I am trying to call him but his phone is switched off and this is making me more scare

“Stefan please pick up the phone for god sake” I was trying again and again but no use

At last I thought of visiting his house maybe I will be able to meet him. Thinking all this I left to visit him Not for once I left my phone I kept calling him again and again

“Hi, can I meet Stefan?” I asked from the guard

“Uhm mam I am sorry but sir is not at home he left for Hong Kong last night” as soon as he told me my whole world stopped

“Are you sure he left for Hong Kong?” I Asked

“Yes” he replied

“Ok thanks” I said and left from there

I was right Whatever was going on in my mind was right he...he used me for his need he was with me because he want me he wanted to use me

How can I be so dumb why I believed him Anna you are so stupid how can you believe him after that incident how you trusted him you are fool you don’t have mind

I just hate you Stefan Ellie was right about you I was your next target and after using me you just left because you was not able to give any explanation

His all promises his all care love everything was fake he lied so gently how can someone not fall for him he always use to take care of me he always use to make me feel good I never imaged he can be like this and now when all this happened I am not able to believe why?

I was walking lifeless on this darkest road I don’t know where I am going I am not in a state of mind I have loose all my controls He broke my heart and this time brutally. I was crying and crying nonstop

I was still trying to call him I was hoping that he will pick up my phone and will tell me the whole story but alas my luck is so bad

Suddenly Someone held me and pull me towards himself I was so shocked to react

“Are you mad?” I looked at the voice to see an unknown person “Can’t you see or you was doing it intentionally to die huh?” He asked

“I am sorry” I said and make him leave me

“Listen let me drop you home your condition is not looking good” he said

“No there is no use I will go by myself” I replied back but I was seriously out of mind I don’t know what I was doing and speaking I think I lost myself

“No let me drop you I can’t risk your life like this as I know your are not well” he said

“I said I can go” I said rudely

“Listen I don’t know what happened to you but please try to understand you are not in your senses” he said again

“Who you are to say this huh? Do you know me?” I asked actually I shouted

“Yes I know you off corse many of the peoples here must’ve known you” he said making me confuse

“What how?” I asked not getting him

“Oh god have you forgotten you are a new star yesterday only I saw your movie and trust me it was mind blowing and when I saw you firstly I didn’t believe that it’s you” he said and guess what for sometime I forgot that I am a star

“Hahahaha” I start laughing madly “I...I am a star...Yes right how can I forget that I am a star Anna Johnas you are a star A bloody star” I don’t know what I was saying I was totally out of my mind

“Are you okay?” He asked

“Off corse what can happen to me see I am completely fine” I said opening my hands in air

“No you are not let me drop you home please” he said the same thing again but I still ignored

“No no I don’t want to go anywhere I want to stay here only I want to stay in the darkness” I said looking around

“Come let me drop you” he said and held me

“No leave me I don’t wanna go” I said but he didn’t listened

………………………………

“Huff Finally why are you so stubborn hmm I never thought our first meeting will be like this” he said but I didn’t replied

“I am sorry for bothering you but thank you for helping I was really depressed that time” I said as now I am back to my senses

“I know by the why I am David” he said forwarding his hand which I took as a hand shake

“You know me already so nice meeting you David” I said with a smile

“Now I think I should leave it’s quite late” he said

“At least come inside you have helped let me thank you properly” I said

“Next time hope so but now I have to leave I have a flight in half an hour” he said

“Oh it’s ok I hope you will not get late because of me” I said

“I will not ok bye” saying so he left

I am sitting in my room continuously crying and calling him still with a hope that he will pick up my phone but no I am again wrong

I got a call from dad. Wiping my tears and taking a deep breath I picked up

“Hello” I said

“Hello Anna darling are you okay?” He asked

“Yes why asking?” I asked as I don’t want to make him tensed

“Haven’t you saw the news?” He asked making me confuse

“What news what are you talking about?” I asked being curious

“Anna your video has been leaked” he said and I was all confused

“Dad what are you saying I am not understanding” I said

“Just check the news you will get to know” he said and I went to saw the tv

I got a biggest shock who leaked this? It was a video when Stefan was insulting me on our first met

‘Stefan Thorne the famous actor insulting her girlfriend for wearing old fashion dress Why Anna is with Stefan after this insult? Is this for money and fame?’

What the fuck is this?

“Dad” I said

“Anna where is Stefan?” He asked

“He...Dad he is missing he left me” Finally I told him I broke down

“What what are you talking why he left?” He asked and I told him Everything

“Dad I don’t know what to do His phone is switched off from yesterday night after he left and now he is not here I don’t know why he did this with me dad I loved him so much and he just broke my heart” I said crying

“Dear you please come back We will see what to do I will try to find him but first you come back” he said

“Ok dad I am coming as soon as possible” I said and hung up

I don’t know what is going to happen in my life now every problem is coming on my way only Why I can’t get happiness in my life

I hate myself so much why, why I trusted him Why I believed his words he ruined me he broke me

……………………………

I am sitting in room Yes I came back to USA today only my dad is finding him but still there is no clue

“Anna” I listened my mom’s voice and wiping my tears I turned around

“Yes mom” She hugged me

“I am so sorry I was not there for you when you needed me. Dear I am really sorry” she said hugging me

“Mom it’s not your fault you were busy in work and work is also important you don’t have to worry about me I am ok” I said

“Anna I am ur mom don’t lie to me” she said and it was end for me I cried hard

“Mom it’s hurting alot why he did this with me what I will do now” I asked

“Anna you have to be strong for me for your dad think about us try to forget him” she said and I nodded

“Mom did you find him?” I asked

“I don’t know your dad is trying hope we will find him soon” she said

I hugged her more tightly while she was patting my back I closed my eyes and tears were continuously falling down from my eyes

“Anna” I listened dad’s voice I turned to see him while he sat beside me

“Dad Did you find him?” I asked

“No dear he is no where to be find I don’t know where he left there is no person with Stefan’s name in Hong Kong I searched him in different countries but no clue I think he has changed his identity” he told

“That means I can never meet him?” I asked as my last hope also broke

“Dear leave him try to forget him you know you have really disappointed me how can leave your dream because of him you know I was waiting for you to get degree It was my wish to see you in that black suit having a degree in your hands but...” she said

“Mom I am really sorry for hurting you but now it’s too late” I said

“No it’s not late yet you are going to university tomorrow you got admission in university nearby and you are going I don’t want to listen any no” she said

“But how?” I asked

“You dad convinced them” she said

“Really dad when you did this?” I asked

“Today only I request them and they accepted but you can’t get scholarship as you are late admission” he said and I hugged him

“Thankyou dad it will really help me divert my mind” I said hugging him

………………………………

I am sitting in class huh today is my first day in university and I am having no interest in it I am trying to divert my mind but there is no use he is echoing in my mind like I don’t have any other thing to do

“Hi, new admission right?” I looked at the place from where the voice came

“Yes” I replied it was a girl she was looking nice

“Hi, I am Alice” She said forwarding her hand

“Hi it’s Anna” I said taking her hand as a handshake

“I don’t know why but I think I have saw you somewhere I am not able to remember” she said

Thanks to my mind that I changed myself I mean I just changed my avatar I am the old Anna now who used to wear old fashioned clothes and also this time I wore glasses so no one can recognise me easily

“Hi, I am David” I turned on other side to see a boy wait do I know him?

“And I am...”

“I know I listened your conversation you are Anna right?” He asked and I nodded “Anna Johnas?” He asked and again I nodded

“Wait do you know her David?” Alice asked

“Why don’t you know her she is A new star Her movie just released” he said oh god can’t he just shut his mouth

“Wait is she the one who recently did a movie with Stefan?” She asked

“Yes she is the one” he said

“Oh god I can’t believe my eyes I am sitting beside a new star” she said

“Can you both please keep it as a secret?” I asked

“Why?” Alice asked

“Idiot because if people will get to know they will not let her do study” David said

“Oh I didn’t thought about it” Alice said

“By the why I think you haven’t yet recognised me?” He asked

“Ya I was just thinking about this only I have saw you somewhere” I replied

“I am the one you met that day when you was just going to die” he told oh yes how can I forget him?

“Oh Ya now I remember David” I replied

“Yes I am that David only”

“But what are you doing here I mean you were in London then?” I asked

“Actually he lives here only but because of some issues he went to London” Alice told

“Oh I see but seriously guys I felt very comfortable on my first day just because of you both and David I can’t thankyou enough for that day you really helped me alot” I said

“It’s my pleasure I can’t see anyone in pain or problem” he said

“The class is over can we go to eat something?” Alice asked

“Of corse how can you even ask this question from me I am always ready to eat” David said and I chuckled

“Oh thank god you at least laughed” Alice said

“Ok ok now let’s go You made me hungry” he said

“Fine” she said and we both went towards canteen

……………………………

We trio are sitting in canteen we became friends in this little time only they both are in a relationship they are so cute they made me remind about him David is same like Stefan but He is not a cheater like him they both are in a relationship from past 3 years

I told them everything about me and Stefan and also how he left me taking advantage of my love they were shocked to hear this

“I can’t believe he is a player a bloody bastard” Alice said

“Ya man I mean I never imagined he can do this he look so innocent and also you both look so cute with each other how can he do this?” David asked

“He did but please I don’t want to talk about this” I said and Alice patted my back

“It’s ok you don’t have to cry for him he is a looser and don’t worry we both are with you everything will be fine” she said and I smiled slightly

“I hope” I said lightly taking a deep breath

I came back home directly went in my room locking the door I start crying loudly this pain is so much to handle I am not habitual of this please god help me forget him Otherwise I will die

“Anna” I wiped my tears immediately listening mom’s voice I opened the door with a light smile

“Yes” I asked

“You didn’t told me you are back” she said

“Ya actually I was feeling tired that’s why I just directly came in my room” I lied

“It’s see I have cooked for you today with my own hands come have you lunch” she said and I nodded

“You go I just come after a shower” I said

“Ok but come fast” she said and I nodded and she left

Oh god please give me some strength to to bear all this otherwise my mind and heart will burst

……………………………

I was not feeling like to eat anything I was just quietly sitting thinking about that person only

“Anna...Anna dear” I looked at dad ad he called me

“Yes?” I asked

“Why aren’t you eating anything are you fine?” He asked and I nodded

“Yes dad everything is fine it’s just I am so tired today” I again lied

Look what things I am doing just because of that bastard I never lied to my dad never but today he made me do this I don’t know when I will forget him

“Anna didn’t you like the food?” Mom asked

“No no it’s not like this it’s really yummy” I said

“Are you sure listen if you don’t like it then you can tell I will make something else for you” oh god why she thinks like this

“Mom I said I don’t want to why are you thinking this the food is very tasty believe me you can ask from dad” I said

“Yes she is right why you always overthink Stela?” He said

“No I was just asking leave it” she said

I came back to my room took out my phone and called him yes I am still hoping that he will come back soon it was still switched off I sighed and lay down to take a small nap but whenever I close my eyes his beautiful smile comes in front of me

I don’t know when I am going to forgive her I took out his photo from a nearby drawer A smile came on my face looking at his photo

“You look more handsome when you smile like this Once I was the reason behind it but not anymore I just hope you will never get hurt by someone like you hurt me I will forgive you and soon forget you because I can’t see you in pain and I wish happiness for you I wish you get all the things you want in your life Stefan I miss you I miss you so much” I was caressing his picture with my fingers lightly suddenly I listened his voice

Firstly I ignored but again there was his voice he called me

“Anna” I went near window to see but there was no one I came back at my place thinking it as my imagination is he really here?

I went back towards window and saw everywhere but there was no clue of him taking a deep breath I went back to my place I have to control myself I can’t do this I will get mad I even starts imagining him like seriously how can I imagine him the one who broke my heart no no I will sleep

I lay down on my place and taking out all his memories form my mind I slept and thankfully I was able to this time

Chapter ended! 🦋
