Love, Over and Out

"I, Daphne Thorn, am an impoverished woman from the slums. William Blackburn, on the other hand, is the son of the richest man in Wylland.Unexpectedly, the two of us who share such vastly different identities end up being together. So far, we've tried out various difficult positions in our bouts of passion during our secret rendezvouses in secluded areas.Like the madman he is, William often torments me in every session.I'm so exhausted that I'm about to fall asleep. That's when a notification pops up on William's phone, which is sitting next to me. So, I take a peek at it."William, my stomach hurts a lot! I'm suffering so much right now!"It's a text from someone named "Ellie".All the exhaustion in me disappears. I can feel my chest tightening up in discomfort.Once William is done with his shower, he leaves the bathroom and picks up his phone. "You should sleep first. I'm heading out," he says.When I see William turning his back on me, I blurt out, "Are you going to meet that childhood sweetheart of yours?"William wheels around to look at me. Suddenly, he moves to lift my chin. There is a trace of wariness in his eyes."Don't go around sticking your nose in my business, Daphne. I like my woman docile and obedient."But I end up stalking William all the way to Royale Hotel, where I witness him visiting Elaine Moore, his childhood sweetheart. He coaxes her as though she's the most precious treasure in the world.I don't have the courage to question William in person. But still, I want to know who he thinks is more important to him—me or Elaine?So, I give him a call."William, my gastritis is acting up again! It hurts so much! Can you drive me to the hospital?" I said. I use the same tactic that Elaine had used earlier.That night, I keep waiting for William, and yet he never returns to me. That's when I decide to not love him anymore."
