Eight Years Lost A Love Unclaimed (Ariella) novel Chapter 24

BOOK3 Chapter1 

The day I sign the divorce papers, I book a train ticket back to my hometown. 

With just my phone, passport, and a nearly empty bank card, that are all I have left after all these years. 

The butler calls to remind me there are still some of my things left behind. 

“Just throw them away; I don’t want them.” I tell him. 

“But Master Aaron is asking for his mom…” He hesitates. 

“He’ll have a new mom soon, the one he’s been dreaming about.” 

My son looks just like his dad, and of course, he loves the same woman his dad 

loves. 

I used to feel sad, wondering why that person couldn’t be me. 

But now I’ve over it. If there’s no love, then so be it. It’s whatever. 

Before the train leaves, I say one last thing into the phone. 

“Tell Aaron not to worry; I’ll never disturb him again for the rest of my life.” 

After saying that, I hang up and switch my SIM card. 

From this moment on, this city and I are done for good. 

Sitting next to me is a little girl about Aaron’s age, wide–eyed and watching me warily. 

I used to love kids, but now, nothing interests me anymore. 

The girl is quiet throughout the Journey, while her parent blare on the phone, cursing and shouting without a care in the world. 

So, I put on my headphones and close my eyes to take a nap. 

I don’t know how much time has passed when someone gently tugs at my sleeve. 

I open my eyes to see her. 

The little girl presses her lips together: “Miss, my mommy’s gone. Can you help me find her?” 

The aisle seat on the bench is currently vacant. 

I don’t know what happened, so I immediately call for the attendant and the police 

officer on board. 

After a round of questioning, they discover that the girl’s mom has gotten off at the previous stop.
