A novel of passion's flame chapter 32
NORA'S POV
I shouldn't have been eavesdropping, but I couldn't help myself. As I listened to Alexander's conversation, his words cut through me like a knife.
"I don't," he said, his tone firm. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I had been fooling myself, hoping against hope that he felt the same way. But now I knew the truth, Alexander didn't have feelings for me. He didn't love me.
Was i even expecting him to love someone like me? I'm a nobody, A poor, unknown girl. What could I possibly offer someone like Alexander knights when he had someone like Tricia?.
Tears streamed down my face as reality hit me hard. I turned to leave unnoticed but I almost flinched when I saw Tricia in front of me.
She stood before me, Her arms crossed and a smug smirk on her face,Her eyes seemed to mock me filled with happiness.
She took a step closer to me. "I told you"A mocking smile, spread across her face. "He's mine and mine Alone, You're nothing. Don't ever forget that"She whispered closely to my face.
I tried to push past her but she stepped in front of me, blocking my way.
She took another step closer to me. "You're so naive, Nora," she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "You think you're worthy of someone like Alexander? You're not even in the same league as him." Her words cut deep, and I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes as tears welled up.
"Even if you were somehow worthy of him, which you're not, you could never give him what I can," she sneered, her voice cold. "I have everything he needs, Wealth,Power, Beauty. You have nothing but your desperation to have a wealthy husband and your pathetic little crush."
A tear slipped out of my eyes before I could stop it and Tricia's smile grew wider like she had won.
I felt humiliated, Ashamed,Hurt...So badly hurt. All I wanted right now was to get away from her and cry in peace. I tried to brush past her again, but she caught my arm,her grip very tight.
Her stupid manicured long nails digging into my skin.
"Let me go!"I hissed, trying to get away from her.
She mockingly smiled again. "Not until you understand one thing"She said lowly. "My Alexander will never love you, He'll never choose you over me, You're just a temporary thing in his life and soon you'll be nothing but a forgotten memory"
Her words hurt a lot but I knew she was right. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧. Alexander was a wealthy, powerful man. We were from different worlds and I would never be good enough for him.... He'll never settle for someone like me, He'll never call off his engagement with Tricia for me, He'll never love me.
I tried to pull my arm free again and this time Tricia let me go,I stumbled backwards,More tears falling from my eyes. I turned and ran into my room, locking the door behind me.
I collapsed on the bed, burying my face in the pillow as I sobbed uncontrollably. His words hurt and I couldn't escape the pain of knowing that Alexander would never love me.
I couldn't help but wonder why I let myself fall for him. I knew it was impossible,That we were from different worlds but I foolishly started Falling for him. It all started from the very first day we met though I never wanted to admit it but I started to like him since that day we met.
I should have stayed away...Tried to control myself but No! I never listened to my head and now I was here heartbroken.

All the words he had said to me rang in my head and I couldn't help but cry even more.
