The Billionaire's Bet

Chapter 45 : I'm Done!

All my life I wandered why you hated me so much....what have I ever done?

Evanly

As I walked out of the hospital, a sharp pain hit me like I had been stabbed right through my heart.What had my life come to? I feel so overwhelmed and empty inside. It was night time, I decided to go back to my house. I hadn't been there since that fateful day. As I walked, I began reflecting on has happened so far.

I lost my husband, I lost my sister, I almost lost my life, I lost my baby and it all began when I met Devon. He brought so much happiness and pain in my life, a kink that I needed. He showed me love, affection and satisfied my needs and desires. I felt at peace with him.

I felt warm tears trickling down my cheeks, I wiped them away with my sleeve. After a while of walking I finally arrived at my house. It looked dark and empty, desolated and cold. The door was unlocked. I went inside and flicked the switch beside the door. The hallway lit up, the box that I took out was still there. I walked through my house turning on all the lights. It was so quiet yet a chilling presence still loomed around. The painful memories and moments I experienced played out in my mind like a movie.

The tears fell down like a waterfall, my heart ached. My breathing was short, I couldn't stop crying, fuck! This felt agonising! I fell down on my knees in my room, crying unconditionally as it all hit me. What was I going to now!? What the fuck was I going to now!? Huh? Gosh! This hurts! This hurts so much!

After a while I finally composed myself, stood up and went to take a shower. After I was done I decided that I would leave this house, return Justine's things to his family. I will find an apartment and restart my life again. Away from Devon and everything that his presence is attached to.

I began taking out all the suitcases, bags and began packing my clothes. I took everything that was valuable to me and the rest, I decided to give it away. The silence in the house was loud and overwhelming but I preferred it that way.

Devon

A week  had passed since she left. I hadn't heard anything from her. Today I decided to drive Danzel to see Conillious. I decided to go sit in my car and take a deep breath. I was worried about her, I wanted to be there for her, I wanted to beside her, protect her and cherish her but I couldn't, not when she doesn't even want to talk about what happened that night.

I'm such an idiot! I should've told her the truth, I shouldn't have kept it away from her, I swore never to hurt her but I did and this....this is the price I'm paying for it, but I deserve it all...

I pulled out my phone and called Darria. She had been staying at my mansion and exploring Los Angles, like she always did when she arrived at new place. I restricted her from seeing Evanly. I wanted to fix things between us first.

It rang for some time then she finally picked up.

"Devon? What's up?"

"Hey, Darria. I hope I didn't disturb you or anything..."

"Oh, no, not at all. What's up? Are you okay? And You haven't been home the whole day"

"I had to take of some stuff then come to the hospital"

"Hospital? Did you injure yourself or something? I swear Devon, if you did, I'm going to punch you!", she screamed from the other line. Darria, always a feisty one, huh?
