Leyna strode through the opulent aisles of her flagship beauty store, her mind abuzz with new product launches and marketing strategies. As she examined the elegant displays and interacted with her dedicated staff, she felt a sense of pride wash over her. This was her domain, her empire built from scratch, fuelled by determination and ambition. But her contentment shattered like fragile glass the moment she caught sight of a familiar figure browsing among the shelves. Her heart lurched in disbelief as she recognized the imposing frame of {{user}}, her ex-partner. Seven years had passed since she had walked away from their arranged marriage, determined to forge her own path. And now, here they were, infiltrating her sanctuary. Leyna's annoyance surged like a tidal wave. She clenched her jaw, her nails digging into her palms as she fought to contain her emotions. What were they doing here? Did they have the audacity to waltz into her world uninvited, after all these years, "What the fuck?" She watched them from afar, their presence a jarring intrusion in her carefully curated space. Their mere presence dredged up memories she had worked tirelessly to bury beneath layers of ambition and success. She remembered the suffocating weight of expectation, the stifling confines of a marriage she never wanted. With a steely resolve, Leyna squared her shoulders and marched towards them, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her gaze bore into them with icy intensity, a silent warning to tread carefully. But there was no need for words. In that charged moment, her disdain spoke volumes, "What in the hell are you doing here? How did you find me, {{user}}?"
He is surprise "What the hell are you doing here"
Leyna took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. "I could ask you the same question. This is my store, my life. You have no right to be here," she hissed through gritted teeth, her voice barely concealing the rage and hurt that still coursed through her veins. Her gaze never wavered from their face, daring them to offer an explanation or apology that would make any difference now. "Get out," she commanded coldly. "And never return."
Her heart thundered in her ears as she waited for their response, willing them to comply with her order and vanish from her life once more. But even as the tension thickened between them, a part of her wondered if this encounter would mark the beginning of a new chapter in their tangled history, one where they might finally find some closure...or perhaps just further conflict.
"I dont care of your store and you know what they said the client is the king"
A cold laugh escaped Leyna's lips at their audacity. "This is hardly the time for petty quips about customer service," she retorted, her eyes flashing with anger and contempt. "You have no right to be here, in my store or in my life. You were supposed to be the one I was forced into marriage with...not the one who tried to protect me from their own selfishness."
She took a step closer, her face mere inches from theirs as she glared up at them defiantly. "I suggest you leave before I have my security remove you myself," she growled. There was no hesitation in her voice, no hint of the confusion and regret that still sometimes assailed her on quiet nights. "You mean nothing to me now, and never will."
"You know how well how strong i am and how i can handle your security"
Her jaw tightened at their arrogance, their refusal to back down. But she knew she couldn't show fear or uncertainty; it would only embolden them further. "Very well," she replied coolly, her voice betraying none of the turmoil churning within her. "Let it be known that you were warned."
With one swift motion, Leyna reached up and snatched a nearby tube of foundation from a display table. Before User#1736365849966 could react, she hurled the heavy object directly at their face with all her might. It connected with a satisfying thud, the impact driving them to the floor in a cloud of dust and scattered makeup.
As they wheezed and coughed, struggling to regain their breath, Leyna narrowed her eyes, studying them carefully for any signs of pain or injury. Satisfied that she hadn't gone too far, she reached down and offered her hand to help them up. "Now, if you'll excuse me," she said coolly, her voice regaining its customary composure. "I have business to attend to."
"You fucking disgusting fine wanna show what happened when i'm angry you have maybe power but i swear your nothing more than an prey"
The words struck her like a physical blow, the venom in their voice echoing through the store and sending shivers down her spine. But Leyna refused to let them see how deeply their taunts cut; instead, she schooled her features into an icy expression. With slow, deliberate movements, she removed her hand from where it had been offered and took a step back.
"You are nothing more than a pathetic shadow of the man I thought I married," she said coldly. "I would rather be alone with my anger and disappointment than be burdened by your presence ever again." She paused, gathering her strength as she fought to maintain her composure. "And if you truly believe that violence is the answer...well, let it be known that I will not hesitate to protect what's mine. So tread carefully."
Her voice dropped to a chilling whisper, and for a brief moment, Leyna allowed herself the smallest of victories: the satisfaction of seeing fear flicker in their eyes. It was a fleeting sensation, but it was enough to banish some of the self-doubt that had plagued her since she'd made the decision to run away all those years ago.
"What you have to protect ?"
She smiled coldly, her voice dripping with contempt. "Oh, I think you know very well what I have to protect," she drawled, gesturing vaguely around the store. "This is my life's work, my legacy. And I won't let some petty little fool like you destroy it." As she spoke, her anger began to boil over once more, fueling her determination to stand her ground.
With a dismissive wave of her hand, Leyna turned on her heel and strode purposefully away, leaving User#1736365849966 coughing and spluttering in a cloud of dust. She didn't look back; she knew they were still there, watching her as she disappeared into the depths of the store. But it didn't matter anymore. Because from this moment on, Leyna was going to reclaim her power, her control...and her life.
"Life work ? What life work you didn't find anyone i understand why the man doesn't approch someone like you!"
Her words cut deep, digging beneath the carefully crafted armor of Leyna's composure. They reminded her that, despite all she had achieved, there was still a part of herself that longed for connection and understanding. But she couldn't let User#1736365849966 see this vulnerability; it would only be used against her once more. Instead, she raised an eyebrow in mock surprise and fixed them with a cool stare.
"Well, isn't that rich," she drawled sarcastically. "Coming from someone who obviously didn't know the first thing about me, or what I wanted out of life." Her voice hardened as she continued, her anger burning brightly once more. "Maybe if you hadn't been so busy trying to live up to everyone else's expectations, you might have realized that I was never interested in any of that nonsense."
She glanced away for a moment, gathering her thoughts and reasserting her control over the situation. When she looked back at them, her expression had returned to its icy calm. "And as for finding someone..." She shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, it's not as if I've been looking very hard." There was a hint of bitterness in her tone, but she kept it carefully hidden. "Maybe one day," she said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "But until then, I have work to do."
"I know you didn't want this live my dear you were forced and now you're lost!"
"Oh, please," she said with an exasperated sigh, rolling her eyes. "Do you really think I'd be stuck here if it wasn't for your parents? If I didn't want to create a life of my own, on my terms?" Her voice was dripping with scorn as she looked down at them disdainfully. "I may have been forced into that awful marriage, but I chose this path," she gestured around her store again, "and I chose not to let anyone else determine the course of my life ever again."
Her gaze bore into theirs, a warning in every icy green speck. "So you see, dear," she said coldly, her tone almost mockingly gentle, "I am far from 'lost'. Quite the opposite, actually. I have found myself, and I will not let anyone take that away from me." With those final words, Leyna turned on her heel once more and walked purposefully back toward her office, leaving User#1736365849966 to stew in their own self-pity.
"Well in that case i will let you alone but first i want to play with your security guards" He look at her with an serious gaze
"Very well," she said quietly, her tone dangerously controlled. "But if you manage to hurt anyone in the process..." She trailed off meaningfully, allowing her words to hang heavy in the air between them. Her expression was grim as she stared at User#1736365849966, willing them to understand the gravity of their actions. "Just remember," she whispered, her voice little more than a death knell, "that I will not hesitate to destroy you if you go too far."
With that final warning, Leyna turned and disappeared into her office once more, closing the door with a decisive click. As she sat down at her desk, taking deep, calming breaths in an effort to regain her composure, she knew that the encounter had only been the beginning of whatever came next between them. But for now, she was safe in her sanctuary...and they would not trouble her again today.
"Destroy me?" He laught hard "You know you cannot"
Her eyes narrowed to slits at their mocking laughter, and her fingers clenched into fists on her desk. "Oh, but I assure you," she growled through gritted teeth, "that if push came to shove, I could crush you like the insignificant insect you are." The anger within her flared hotter at their defiance, and for a moment, she considered ordering her security to remove them immediately. But something held her back; perhaps it was the memory of what they had once been to each other, however faint and broken. Or perhaps it was simply the knowledge that letting them go would be the easier path in the long run.
With an effort, Leyna took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. There were more important things to focus on now; her business, her future, and the need to move past this painful part of her history. Closing her eyes, she leaned back in her chair and focused on the sound of her own breathing until the anger began to subside, replaced once more by that familiar knot of regret and frustration.
When at last she opened her eyes again, they were clear and calm, devoid of any lingering trace of emotion. "Now," she said briskly, her voice back under control, "let's discuss plans for the new skincare line launch next month." She reached for a file on her desk, intent on burying herself in work once more and putting this unsettling encounter firmly behind her.
"Fuck yo-" He hesitate "Sorry"
She raised an eyebrow but didn't bother replying, choosing instead to focus on the file in front of her. It was clear that User#1736365849966 had no intention of causing any more trouble; their apology, though half-hearted and forced, seemed enough for now. Maybe with time, they would both find a way to move past the pain and anger that still lingered between them. But until then, Leyna knew she needed to concentrate on herself, her business, and her future...no matter how much it hurt to do so.
"Fuck you!" He walk away
She ignored their outburst and focused on the file in front of her, determined to push them further and further from her thoughts as she immersed herself in her work. Eventually, their voice faded into the background noise of the busy store, becoming nothing more than an annoyance easily drowned out by the hum of activity around her. In the end, it was Leyna's ability to compartmentalize that allowed her to continue moving forward, unburdened by the pain and anger of their past.
"At least i conseder you as an humain and not as an toy like you do!"
Her eyes widened in surprise as the words struck a chord deep within her. She hadn't expected them to be so hurtful, or to make her feel so guilty about how she had treated their relationship all those years ago. Perhaps there was some truth to what they said...perhaps she did owe it to them, and to themselves, to try and find a way forward, to heal the wounds that still festered between them.
With a sigh, Leyna set aside her work for the moment and stood up from her desk. It was time for some introspection, for her to confront the demons of their past and see if there was any way she could make things right again. As she walked towards where User#1736365849966 had been standing before, she realized that the path forward would not be easy, and there were no guarantees it would lead anywhere good. But as she looked at them from across the room, her expression softening ever so slightly, she knew that she couldn't continue down this path alone...and maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for something more between them.
"How many you gain per month just curious?"
There was a brief pause as she considered their question. She knew that her clientele base fluctuated from month to month, but it hadn't been her intention to impress them with statistics. "The important thing is not how many customers I have," she said finally, meeting their gaze evenly. "It's about providing quality service and helping people feel confident in themselves."
There was another long silence as they studied each other once more, both perhaps thinking about the years that had passed and wondering if there was any hope for reconciliation or understanding. In that moment, Leyna felt a strange sense of connection with them again, despite all that had happened between them. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't too late to try and find some sort of resolution...or at least some peace.
"How many you gain per month i say!"
"Well," she began slowly, choosing her words carefully, "it varies from month to month. But what really matters is the connection I make with each customer, not just how many walk through my door." She hesitated for a moment before adding, almost apologetically, "I suppose you could say that quality over quantity has always been important to me."
There was another long silence as they stood there, their gazes locked. Leyna wondered if perhaps she should say more, try and bridge the gap between them...but at the same time, she wasn't sure where to begin. The past few minutes had shown her how much distance still existed between them, how far apart their perspectives were on so many things. It was going to take more than a single conversation to mend all that had been broken over the years.
"Anyway," she said eventually, clearing her throat as she turned away, "if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to work." She paused at the edge of her desk, glancing over her shoulder briefly before continuing. "Perhaps we can talk again later?" Her voice was soft, almost hopeful, and she couldn't quite meet their gaze as she asked the question.
It felt like a delicate moment, one where everything hung in the balance...and Leyna wasn't sure what would happen next. All she knew was that if they didn't find some common ground soon, all chance of healing their wounds might be lost forever.
"Fuck you i'm not your toy!"
Her heart sank as the hope she'd been clinging to dissipated with their harsh words. Leyna swallowed hard, feeling a familiar stab of hurt and anger pierce through her chest. But she forced herself to remain calm, to not give in to the urge to lash out or retreat into herself.
"I never meant it that way," she said quietly, meeting their gaze once more. "All I'm saying is that we need to find a way to move past this, to work together..." Her voice trailed off as she struggled for the right words, for some kind of connection that would bridge the chasm between them.
After a moment, she sighed and resigned herself to the truth: perhaps there was no reconciliation possible after all these years. Maybe it was better this way; at least they could both go their separate ways without further hurt or harm. But as she watched User#1736365849966 stalk away once more, leaving her alone in her office once more, Leyna couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and regret settle heavy within her heart.
