His Despair by S. N. Nina Arthur (e textbook reader txt) 📕

“You! Ms. Ellis… is a disgrace,” he said, disgust was evident in his eyes. I was shocked and humiliated. I didn’t know what to do and what to say, he was lying and farming me as a whore and everyone was believing him. 

How should I prove myself? I cried and when I glanced at Conan and Arthur, I stopped crying, I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. I glimpsed at both and walked towards the main door with my head high. 

Such a bitch, 

Sluts like her don’t belong here!

Whore!

I could hear people whispering things about me but I chose to ignore and walked out of there. While walking out of the mansion I saw Coop standing near the water fountain, his head was lowered and when he saw me, he stepped ahead with guilt in his eyes, “I’m sorry,” he said, I ignored his apology and walked out of there. 

I hailed a cab and went back to my home. As I reached my flat, I paid the driver and walked inside the apartment. I opened the main door and walked straight to my bedroom. I noticed the confused and worried look on Bella’s face but I ignored. I pushed my bedroom door and closed it behind. I slipped down to the floor with my back to the door and pulled my legs to my chest. I broke down, my life is a failure. 

I cried and cried, Why? Why me? I know Arthur planned this! He broke my dignity and made me a whore in front of everyone! He wanted this! He wants to see me break and he succeeded in his plan. 

I hate my life! I cried myself to sleep with this throbbing pain in my chest. I just wish all this is a nightmare and it would go away when I wake up.

I woke up feeling sun rays falling on my face, I tried to block it with my hand and sat up. I blinked my eyes trying to adjust to the sunlight and looked down at myself. I was on the floor, I got confused and suddenly last night’s events rushed to my mind making tears fill my eyes. I deeply sighed and got up from the floor and walked towards my bathroom and did my morning duties. 

I dressed up and got ready for my office, I love to work even though I had reasons not to go there but I chose my work over everything. It makes me forget everything and makes me feel light. 

I had a silent breakfast with Bella and Dulo, after that I drove to the restaurant. As I walked through the lobby everything felt different for me. Those looks and whispers made me feel broken inside and no matter how much I tried to put a straight face I couldn’t. 

I got inside the elevator and pressed the button, As soon as the doors closed tears ran down my eyes. I wiped them and didn’t allow myself to let out any sound from my lips. I gripped my handbag and took a deep breath, 

“You can do this, Davina!” I said to myself. 

I walked out of the elevator and noticed Jeena and Darcy staring at the phone with a serious expression, hearing my footsteps as they both looked up at me. 

“Good morning, Miss. Ellis,” both said at a time hurriedly hiding the phone, 

“Good morning,” I replied, ignoring that action and walking to my office. 

“Ah! Miss. Ellis,” Called Darcy making me stop and turn back, she walked towards me with a sad expression on her face. 

“Mr. Spencer asked you to meet him,” She said standing in front of me. I nodded my head and gave her my bag. She took it and walked back to her desk. 

I took a deep breath and made myself ready to face him, I can’t ignore him after all. As I knocked on the door, he immediately asked to come in. I pushed the door in and stepped in, I saw him smiling while looking at his phone. He looked so happy and satisfied. 

“Mr. Spencer,” hearing my voice he looked up from his phone. 

“Oh! Miss. Davina…” he said while putting his phone down on the desk and leaning his hands on his desk.  

“Congratulations, You are all over the internet!” he said, and a smirk was forming on his lips slowly. I refused to react, but I was shocked inside. 

“See!” he said, showing me the video of yesterday's events, everything played through the phone. The allegations, my sobs and they put my name as a golddigger, whore, Slut and what not. Tears rolled in my eyes looking at the video but I didn’t let them fall down. I stood still, blank face, emotionless eyes. 

He moved his phone away and stared at me with a cunning smirk on his lips, “I told you…. That I would destroy you!” he said leaning back on his chair. 

He pulled a drawer and took a paper from it and stood up from his chair. He moved in front his desk and placed the paper on it while motioning to come over to his desk, he leaned his back to his desk while I walked towards him and pulled the paper up, “You’re fired, I don’t want someone like you here,” he said with a big victory smile on his face. 

I know he would do this eventually and I know what he was expecting me to do. I will never do that Arthur! I will not make myself so low to beg you... for my job. I would choose death over doing that. 

I took the pen and signed the paper without waiting a second. I noticed his shocked and confused expression, I gave the paper to him, without looking at him. He took it and stared at me, surprised at my action. I turned around and began walking towards the door but something stopped me, I turned back and without meeting his gaze I raised my hand high and slapped his cheek hard. His face jerked sideways from the impact. 

I walked out with a proud smile.
