Lottie’s POV This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

My mind is currently a whirlwind of emotions and confusion as I sit alone in the hotel room – crying on the floor.

I’ve been going through the events of today over and over again, trying to make sense of everything. Seeing Alex with that girl, even though he had pushed her away, completely shattered me.

I mean, of course he would push her away after being caught with her! That minor detail doesn’t change anything!

1 had to get out of there, away

y from them all. I left town simply because I couldn’t bear the pain and betrayal that I saw with my very own eyes….

Things couldn’t have happened on a worse day too!

The pregnancy result showing as positive the same day that I find my man with someone else in his work place? It was a dramatic movie plot if I’ve ever seen one! But what next? What happens to me now?

How did he even manage this? He had quite literally called me himself at the mall shortly before Anna and I had left and headed over there… how did he seriously manage to squeeze cheating in amongst that?!

Perhaps he was calling to ensure that he had enough time to fool around first before we arrived… which clearly he didn’t time very well at all!

The sound of my phone ringing interrupts my thoughts, as I glance at the screen to see Alex’s name flashing up again,

Speak of the devil…

I take note that I am only on ten percent charge now… with no charger… perfect!

Ignoring the call, I watch as Del’s name appears on the screen next… which I also choose to ignore. No doubt Alex had spoken with him by non, so they could be together.

Five minutes later, the phone rings out again as I groan loudly–feeling bombarded with sudden calls and texts at this point – before I look down to see Anna’s name this time.

I ignore all of them, not feeling at all ready to talk to anyone just yet.

I watch on as Anna’s name finally vanishes, before guilt begins to grow away at me for not answering Anna’s call of all people…

I just know how much she cares for me and how worried she must be… it wasn’t her fault this had happened…..

After a moment of thought, I decide to at least read Anna’s texts to see where her

er head is at with everything.

I click on the messages and see a string of worried and apologetic texts from her. In them, she’s blaming herself for not stopping me from leaving and expressing how much she wants to find me and make things right.

She then explains that she had kicked Sofia (which I’m now guessing is the girls name) out of Alex’s office after I had left – telling her to leave and not come back.

Now that I know the girls name, only added to my

my pain, making the event feel all the more real…

it’s best for me and that Alex is a total dick.

Anna then begs for me to pick up the phone in the next texts, claiming that she only wants what’s

Her words warm my heart, and I feel a surge of guilt for shutting her out like I had – especially since she had been so supportive with the whole pregnancy dilemma today too.

I decide to stop being a bitch to my friend, and to buck up the courage to at least reply to her with a text.

“Hey Anna, sorry for shutting you out like I have, I just needed some space to think and process everything. Don’t worry about me, I’m somewhere safe. I’ll be in touch again when I’m ready to talk this whole situation is just so hard. I love you – Lottie x

I send the text, letting her know that I’m safe and that I need some time alone just to process everything. The guilt don’t completely fade. Ive peached out to her in sim

With a deep breath, I decide to gather myself up and try to regain some sense of normalcy at least before I get into bed and attempt to sleep tonight which I doubt I will be able to.

I make my way to the bathroom, checking out my disheveled appearance in the mirror… my eyes held heavy bags, as though I hadn’t slept for a decade.

sigh loudly, rubbing my hands down my lace, before I strip out of my clothes and decide to take a long, soothing shower, letting the water wash away my tran.

I am thankful to the hotel for providing shampoo, conditioner and body wash, comidering I had no spending a night alone at a hotel anytime soon pregnant and cheated on!

I close my eyes tightly, frustrated by the thought, before I scrub my scalp and body clean…

not thinking that I would be

As I step out of the shower, I realize that I don’t have any clothes of my own in this hotel room either. What was I thinking going for a shower with nothing to change into?!

All I have to wear, which I should probably be grateful to at least have something fresh to change into, is the soft white robe that the hotel had provided. It’s not exactly suitable for going out in public hut it will do me for tonight at least until I

more clothes.

1 pat myself dry, brush my teeth with one of the packaged hotel brushes, before I wrap myself up in the robe – heading back out into the room.

I check my phone again, seeing another three missed calls from Alex, two from Del, and a text back from Anna

11 immediately o

I am so glad that you texted me back Lottie! I’ve been worried sick about you! Please don’t hate me. I’m team Lottie over Alex any day! I’ve spoke with him though, and he has proof about what really happened at the office too….it would be worth looking at -believe meb

My eyes scan over the message, n

now at eight percent charge, as I tense at the wording

Alex has proof of what really happened? How could he have proof? What does that even mean?

1

I shrug off the curiosity, not wanting to crumble to Alex and his ch

charm.

I saw what I saw, and unless the proof is hard evidence that he hasn’t cheated on me… then I’m not interested)

I decide to lock my phone, saving as much battery as I can in case of emergency, before I pull open the room service booklet–scanning over the food and drinks selection that I can have ordered up to my room,

Maybe some snacks and a Netflix movie is just what I need as a distraction? I smile ever so slightly at the idea, before using the built in touch screen device to order and pay for what I want.

I decide to go for some nachos, popcom, chocolate and a couple bottles of water to last me the night.

This isn’t all bad! I sigh, relaxing back on the bed – or at least trying to relax – as I turn on the smart TV and open up the Netflix tab.

1 scroll through the range of movies, deciding to click on comedies not wanting to worsen my mood with anything sad or soury tonight!

Just as I’m scrolling, there’s a loud knock on the bedroom door…

I

I freeze, my heart pounding slightly, before I figure that it must only be the room service.

Though, it did seem awful fast since I had only just ordered the stuff moments ago… but maybe they just have the stuff pre–made?

1 climb back off from the bed, tying the robe around my naked body tighter in order to fully cover up, before I turn the door handle smiling expectantly at the stranger…

“Lottie?!” I gasp loudly and almost scream when coming face to face with Alex’s face.

How the hell has he found me so fast?! Even when I left town!

I panic, attempting to close over the room door on him, before he jams his foot in the space – pushing himself fully into the room,

My eyes well up with tears, suddenly feeling suffocated and as though I have no escape from him… even when he damn well cheats on me!

My heart races as Alex forces his way into the room closing the door, and I take a step back, my back pressing against the wall.

His unexpected appearance catches me completely off guard, and I feel a mix of anger and vulnerability as he stands there, looking at me with concern In his eves,

What are you doing here. Alex? The least you can do is give me privacy after what you’ve done!” I manage to choke out, my voice trembling with growing emotion.

He takes a deep breath, his eyes searching mine. “I needed to talk to you, Lottie. I couldn’t just let you run off without giving you a chance to hear the

“The truth?!” I scoff bitterly, tears beginning to stream down my cheeks. “I saw everything. Alex. There’s nothing more to say. I don’t need to hear any

excuses

“No, doll, please? You don’t understand,” he pleads, taking a step closer to me. “That girl, Sofia, she was trying to seduce me and I pushed her away and told her I wasn’t interested, I swear!” He rants, as I avoid his eye and glare down at the floor

Sure you did!

I shake my head, not wanting to believe him, however a small part of me desperately clings to any sliver of hope that he’s telling the truth. “I don’t know what to believe anymore, Alex. I saw what I save! You’ve shattered my trust now I state bluntly, wiping furiously at my wet face.

“I know, and I’m so sorry.” He begins, his voice cracking with emotion slightly. “It isn’t as bad as it looked, you have to believe me! At least let me show you the security footage from my office. It will prove that I didn’t cheat on you Lottie!” Alex begins to pull out his phone next, as my eyes widen.

I feel torn, part of me wanting to see the footage and part of me not wanting to be hurt any further. “I don’t know if I can handle watching it,” I admit, my voice barely a whisper.

“I understand what you’re thinking..” He says gently, his expression filled with regret. But I promise you, it will only show the truth. I love you, Lottie. I would never do anything to hurt you intentionally never mind cheat!”

Tears continue to fall down my cheeks as I struggle with my emotions, It’s hard to ignore the love I still feel for him, but I can’t ignore the pain and betrayal I had felt today either.

“Ok fine Alex! Just show me it already… but I can’t promise how I’ll react!” I sigh, closing my eyes briefly, before he nods and looks hopeful opening the file up on his phone..

He turns the screen to give me full access, as I watch him skip past most of the day–seeing nothing as he enters and exits his office alone – before he slows down nearing the time that the incident had occurred…

Here goes nothing…..
