“I had to postpone everything at the hospital for your ceremony being my best friend but it didn't push through and it's not your fault. I will have to go back now and take care of the patients under my care.”
“I hope you do not mind?"
Gemma’s POV
She's a nurse, she has to look after lives. It was even more important.
"Not at all, bestie. Thanks for coming to console me, now I have to be strong. I'll look for him and surely take my revenge on him.” I balled my fist, gnashing my teeth. The tears were slowly drying and the grudge and the spirit of revenge took over.
Lily nodded, supporting this decision of mine.
I then forced a smile to let her know I'll handle everything.
"Very well then, I will take my leave now. I will give you a call later on, please be safe and forget about that scum, let some other girl take him, that shouldn't bother you. He will surely regret it and come back crying, then you will ignore him.”
Exactly what I had in mind to do when that day of our meeting came.
Even more!
Later on, my friend turned sister online placed a call on me. Sienna is a medical doctor working thousand of miles away, due to the nature of her job and the fact that this wasn't her time to be given a leave, she didn't come.
I knew she wanted to hear the details of how the mating ceremony went. I can remember a night before, she bothered me to send lots of pictures and videos, she would print them out and keep safe where she is living.
"Hello sis, how was your ceremony?" Sienna asked her across the phone.
There was a short silence after Sienna’s question, after which I let out a deep sigh.
"What is wrong? Did anything happen? Why don't you sound happy?" Sienna attacked me with loads of questions.
"There was no ceremony," I finally answered.
"What do you mean by that? All your life, you have wished for this, the day you will be joined with your mate, the man you love so much.” She breathed hard, feeling uneasy.
I said nothing.
“So what has gone wrong all of a sudden? Today is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, Gemma, please say something.”
The air was filled with tension as I continued in silence.
“You are making me worried."
"Louis disappeared. I woke up to see that he and his belongings were gone–” do wanted to tell her more of the huge savings of mine which he disappeared with but my voice trailed off.
