Nina's POV

2 years later

I smiled at Fabian, we were on our gazillionth date, and had been together for six months. I had finally felt true love for this man I used to hate. Amber kept pushing me to believe he was going to propose soon. I mean, Mick had proposed to her months ago!

I was lost in thoughts, barely noticing his awkward smile, he looked so nervous. I had been letting my thoughts roam, and then he interrupted me, making that date the worst ever.

"Look Nina, I love you, have loved you, and will love you. But, I, I… I'm sorry. I can't keep this going for much longer, and I just think it would be the, um, best, to, you know, um, end this, um, now?" He half smiled.

I had let my tears free fall, and had felt the smeared makeup all over.

He had cupped his hands on my face, and leaned in, for just a final kiss.

I slouched away, and slinked out of the booth, running to my old car.

He was left standing there. That was over a year ago, and also, was the last I saw of him.

Now, I am not going to lie and say I never think of him, but he does not control my life as a memory. I am a successful business women, who now owns Donne's sister magazine- Amato.

Okay, so I admit, maybe the magazine had a little to do with Fabian. Amato means loved. But, would I ever admit that- No!

But, now I see the person that left me crying myself to sleep for WEEKS! The only man who ever made me feel special enough to be loved, and there he is, talking with a girl, who is wearing a WEDDING BAND!

But he seemed to be missing one. Okay, I do admit, my hopes were rising when his finger was missing something, but they fell as soon as he kissed her, and she ran off to an awaiting cab. I straightened up once more, and walked into the store, reeking of self confidence. I walked right up to him, his back turned, then bit my lip. I backed up slowly, and went to the rack next door to him. He began searching through the other side. I almost crouched down, but before I could, he spotted me.

"Nina, Nina Martin?" He stuttered.

"Hi, Fabian. And no, Nina Clarke." I smiled. Did I forget to tell you that I was married to Jerome. No, I didn't do it to be mean to Mara, because she fell on love with a man she met on a cruise, and well, Mrs. Clarke, just, happened.

He gaped, and it looked like he might get teary eyed.

"Nina, I am being completely honest with you. I have been searching for you for years. I called Donne so many times, and no one ever helped me out. I still love you." He looked shamed… good!

"Yes, I am sure you do, Mr. I love you… and my wife who just left." My voice dripping with sarcasm I stormed off and ran home. Jerome was there and held me.

Once again, I had lost Fabian. He was never to be seen again. Jerome alerted me today that he was found dead.

And I am still bawling my eyes out. I don't know what to think of this, but I wipe my eyes. Fabian broke my heart. Jerome got me before he could. But, now, he is dead.

What a coincidence.

Tough love.

Okay, so don't say I didn't warn you. And yes, I know Nina sounds a little evil, but, remember, No happily ever after.

Please review.
