I never thought that I would spend the last day of the contract packing my things away and clearing thing out from the penthouse. I had always imagined that I would spend the last day with Hayden. Clearly, that was not to be.
By late in the afternoon, I had managed to pack all my stuff and with the mover’s help, I started on my journey back home. Not having a place to stay in the city and no money to rent out a place, I decided to simply go back home. Truthfully, I really missed that place. I left the penthouse keycard on the dining table before leaving and closing the door firmly behind me.
In the end, he didn’t even say goodbye…
He’s such a coward…
…
I arrived back home in the countryside late at night with my life packed up in many boxes. In the end, I had to haul back the expensive jewelry that Hayden left as well. I’ll figure out a way to deal with them later.
It’s only been a month since I left this place but coming back here feels a little strange. To my surprise, the mess that the men in black had made of the place on the day that they took my grandmother and me away was all fixed up. Actually, the place looked restored. The faded paint seemed to have been painted over with new paint. Broken windows and glasses fixed. The smashed-up furniture had been either fixed or replaced. The place was decently clean as well.
I smiled a little to myself. At least, the mafia cleaned up after their own mess. I hated how they smashed up the place but right now I was thankful that they mended everything because that meant that I didn’t have to come home to a mess. That also meant that I could start settling in without having to clean up late in the night.
After pushing the boxes into the house, I locked the door and that was when the reality of what was going on truly hit me. Hayden is gone and I won’t get to see him ever again. I sat down onto the floor, pulled my knees up and hugged them. I curled up into a ball and just started crying my eyes out.
This is the worst.
Why did things have to end this way between us? The pain tore at me from the inside out. I cried so much that I could hardly breathe. I’m going to look like a huge mess tomorrow, but I didn’t care. Right now, I just needed to let it all out.
Once I used to believe that I would return to my normal and happy life when the contract was over. I looked forward to this day when I would get my freedom back. Now that the day was here, I felt more devastated than I had ever felt before in my life. I felt so lost. It was like I had lost a very important part of myself.
