If only he loved me too novel Chapter 16

I don't remember getting in the car, nor do I remember walking down at the airport as if in a daze I found myself sitting on the flight way back home.

My world seems to be crashing down on me with a single piece of paper, I always thought God was punishing me for something I had done when I lost Dimitri that night at the accident but the bigger punishment was to face the person I thought I had lost forever only to lose him differently, again.

Engrossed in my thoughts I didn't see the flight attendant trying to get my attention, "huh?" I ask trying to regain complete consciousness 

"Ma'am, we have landed, " She said with a forced smile, I nod my head and get up carrying my handbag because that's the only luggage they found on me when they caught us.

"Thanks," I say before departing, I walk out of the airport after all the checking done and hail a cab, going straight to my house the one I shared with Dimitri/Massimo.

On unlocking the door, a wave of loneliness washes down to me but I have run out of tears. I sat down on the couch and just stay like that for a couple of hours, no movement, nothing. finally, after gathering up some courage, I go to my room and start packing. I know it might seem different from an outsider's point of view but I'm no longer a part of the Price family so, no reason for me to be here. as I reached a certain box behind the shoe compartment it spiked my curiosity. I pulled a large size wooden box and dragged it a bit on the marble floor. 

When I opened the box tears blurred my vision, It's my wedding dress along with everything I wore on that day, I pulled it out and the beautiful white floor-length dress was as same as the day I wore it five years ago.

With a heavy heart, I packed everything I owned and left the rest, I was conflicted with what to do with the wedding dress, and an idea popped in my head. I placed as many boxes as I could fit in my car apart from the wooden box which sat on my passenger seat and drove off to the last place I wanted to be.

The Price Mansion.

After completing all the security clearance at the gate, I drove towards the entrance to the Mansion. I sat in my car holding the wheel and contemplating whether to do what I was to do or not.

Sighing heavily I got out and stopped the Valet before he reached for my keys. "Thanks, but I'm not staying for long," I say and opened the passenger side door. He rushed to me when he saw the size of the wooden box and I smiled at him gratefully.

A maid opened the door and smiled at me welcomingly, I nodded at her "Who's at the door, Stella?" Mrs. Price asked loudly when I walked towards where she was sitting she almost ran to me and engulfed me in a warm hug, a hug I have been craving all along. unknown to me a few tears slipped away and soon it got too intense.

She consoled me and some of her tears shed as well, we sat down after an emotional moment and settled down.

"How was your trip, honey," she asked pouring me some tea, as they were not a part of my scheme so they did not know my little stunt.

"It was eye-opening, I guess," I said with hidden meaning which she didn't push for more information

"Good, good, I liked the idea of a little fresh air for you, " she smiled sadly at me and continued sipping her calming tea.
