After sitting on the bench for a while, she decided to go to the apartment to get her things. She had to find a place to spend the night, she couldn't waste too much time. Nor did she want, for anything in the world, to run into Cristian, she couldn't face him yet, although she sensed that at some point she would have to.
She walked to the bus stop. She only waited a few minutes and it arrived, she was lucky not to have to wait so long. In 30 minutes she arrived home, well, the one she considered her home for a while, today she understood that it had never been.
Upon entering and looking around, a wave of memories invaded her. In every corner was the presence of who, until that morning, she had believed was the man with whom she was going to share her life. She smiled mockingly to herself.
The apartment had only one bedroom, it was large and comfortable; a small kitchen-dining room and a beautiful living room. It was painted in pastel shades, light blue, yellow and white. Everything was beautiful, with exquisite taste. The furniture was fine and delicate, the sofa cost a year of her salary, she could never have afforded it. Not to mention the rest of the furniture. Of course, he had bought and chosen everything, he never even let her give her opinion on the decoration or the furniture. Now she understood why, he was afraid that she would choose things that were not up to his standard.
She felt overwhelmed and suffocated by the place, his scent was still impregnated everywhere. She was an intruder, she had remained stuck in the entrance as if her presence was not welcome. And she thought that was her home. She sat on the comfortable sofa and allowed herself to cry, she was torn by pain and burst into tears. She could form a lagoon of so many tears that she shed, she thought with amusement.
After crying for hours, she remembered that she had to find a place to sleep. She looked at her cell phone, she had the hope, foolish hope, that he had sent her a message... but there was nothing, he had not tried to communicate with her. She didn't even understand why she held foolish hopes. To hell with everything, we must move on. Better that he didn't speak to her, since she already knew who he really was.
She got up, went to the bedside table and took out the box where she keeps her cash savings. The rest she has in the bank. She manages herself very well, and he took care of the household expenses and also the market. Idiot, she was a kept mistress and hadn't realized it. It seems that she was much more naive than she had imagined. So many years alone, so many years longing to be loved that she confused, perhaps, love with desire. She no longer knew what to think, the only thing that was clear to her is that he did not love her, he only wanted her in his bed. She regretted having given herself to him, and not because she was prudish, of course not, after all this is the 21st century, but for giving him the pleasure and thus allowing him to humiliate her more.
She took her documents, a small bag with the few clothes she had, the ones that were hers, the money and calmly went out in search of a hotel, something cheap. She had to go further towards the central area, so she had to look for a bus again, she was not going to waste money on taxis, she did not know how long it would take to get a new job.
Upon arriving at the place, she walked a few blocks and found a picturesque hotel, nothing luxurious, just the right size for her pocket. The place was very clean and the room very comfortable. She only wanted to sleep and that is what she was about to do when a message arrived on her phone. Cristian was talking to her.
"Honey, I'm sorry I couldn't see you today, some problems have arisen in the company, nothing serious don't worry, but I have to travel early tomorrow and I'll be away for a few weeks, if everything goes well we'll be able to expand, we'll be the biggest company worldwide. You're going to be very proud of me. I love you, wish me luck"
"I miss you my love, please take care of yourself in my absence, and when I come back we'll talk about work, I don't like to see you cleaning up other people's dirt"
"Again I tell you I LOVE YOU"
She read the message a thousand times, she didn't plan to answer but she was afraid that if she didn't, he would keep insisting or call her, it was better to answer. Damned hypocrite, but she had already seen his true colors, he was just an empty vessel. Now she finally understood that metaphor, he is beautiful on the outside, but there is nothing inside him, like a beautiful empty vase.
"I wish you all the best on your trip"
It was clear the double meaning in which she said it, she wished him, despite everything, the best... or maybe not, let him rot she thought, let him screw himself and... that's it, it's all over, she didn't want to think anymore. She turned off her phone and fell asleep.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cristian was very pleased with himself, lunch had been very productive, although Camila's cousin turned out to be a damn conceited guy, he was confident that he would be able to get a few million out of him. He still smiled remembering the scene.
Hello cousin! I am very happy that you can be with us on this special occasion. It wouldn't be the same if I missed you Camila's shrill voice flooded the place. If they were dogs they would be howling in pain.
Hello Camila, I had some business to attend to in the city, that's why I'm here For some reason that Cristian did not understand but his fiancee knew perfectly well, the young man who had just arrived was not very kind. This is why Cristian considered him conceited.
Vito, let me introduce you to my fiance, Cristian Miller
Pleasure Cristian Vito Lombardi at your service Vito's gaze was cold and scrutinizing, as if he wanted to know what others think, or worse, as if they knew.
Camila went out of her way to attend to her cousin, and give him a thousand compliments. For his part Cristian did the same, as expected they talked about business, each was an expert in their fields, although while one only attended to matters relating to transport, the other developed in many categories.
Vito was the owner of a transnational company, the largest company in South City, with ramifications all over the world. He did not have a single line of business but diversified from food, clothing, security, technology, to name a few. Now he was investing in real estate. That is precisely why he is in Blue City, he wanted to buy a hotel by the sea and turn it into a great resort, the best of all.
The man looked mockingly at his "cousin" and the idiot who is going to marry her, he realized immediately that the poor unfortunate wants his money, but he is not naive and only invests if it is something really good. While he is in this country he is going to take the time to review a proposal, if it suits him of course he intends to put money in. It would be a good thing for him, perhaps, to also have a transport company among his, both passenger and cargo.
The meal went smoothly, all the women stopped to look at the handsome men who were there, and hated Camila because she could be in the company of such specimens, they were men as beautiful as they were powerful, they attracted the attention of everyone there. Many women seemed to eat them with their eyes. Their elegant bearing and dominant aura took the breath away from the women in the place.
Cristian was a little anxious, he had not been able to talk to his Luna, he was afraid that she had heard something unpleasant, or that she would realize that Camila was dating him. Definitely when he returned from his honeymoon he had to talk to her, clarify everything and assure her that the only one he loved was her. No one else was going to be in his heart, but he had to make sure that his marriage was a commercial agreement even if it wasn't in reality.
Finally that lunch was over and he managed to get rid of Camila for a few minutes, enough to send a message to his love. Anything so she wouldn't worry, or worse look for him, Camila couldn't, for anything in the world, know about Luna, that would be his ruin.
The messages he sent were concise, but he was able to say everything he wanted. That she knew that he would not be there for a few days, and of course that she got the idea that she would not work anymore, and reaffirm that he loved her. Everything necessary for her to continue as always ready and willing for him. Her answer was brief, luckily, because his fiancee was approaching. He put away his phone and with a smile gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.
They got into the car and headed to a small gathering that his friends had made in his honor, it was like a joint bachelor party.
What Cristian did not know is that he was not only saying goodbye to his singleness, what was at stake was much bigger and more important than all his millions. He felt on top of the world without knowing that, in reality, he was beginning to fall.
