Love Found In the Contract

CHAPTER FIFTEEN 🦋

Day 20 of Separation: new life chapter
🍑
Looking up at Donovan, I know that I need to give him an answer to his proposition but I just can't. I know that it's not healthy for me to keep blaming myself for every thing that is wrong with my family nor to keep pressuring myself  to be perfect just for the sake of my family, but that's what I have done for as long as I can remember.

Breaking out of that habit will be hard but not as hard as walking away from the company. Donovan and my therapist believe that it will be a great idea to go vacation and so do I, but when they mean vacation  they mean that I will only focus on having fun and enjoying my time. I can have fun but I have never just gone on vacation and not worry about the company. I'm always on top of everything.

Going on this vacation will mean days filled with laughter and peacefulness. A big part of me yarns for that but their is also a small part of me that questions whether that will be a good idea. But there is also another part of me that wants to say screw this and juts was always from all that unnecessary stress and trouble.

When I originally graduated from college I was going to start my own business but then my father got into a car accident so I decided to cover for him until he got better. I thought it was just a temporary thing, so while handeling his company I stated  my own.  But then he retired and left me incharge of the company. All this year I have done double the work just because I couldn't handle disappointing my father. But in these recent days I have realized that if my father is not happy with my life choices than that's his problem not mine.

I had to endure so much crap just to make him happy while my sister keep screwing up and he says nothing.

Standing up, I smile at Donovan, " Okay, I'll take a vacation but only if you agree to my two terms. One, you go with me and I pay for you, two I take the rest of today to take care of business"

Donovan smiles and nods.

"All me in my room of you need me"

As I take the elevator to the the top floor my head is racing with endless opportunities. I know now what is the best option for me and if I have to be selfish than so be it.

It takes me about six hours to get everything in order. I'm the first two hours I called the HR of the Park offices to submit my resignation letter. I might have been in charge of the company but in the records it showed that I was just on ordinary employee. The HR lady, Rosemary, thanked me for being a good boss and wished me good luck, after she tranfered my last pay check to my account. Another two hours was spend taking to my lawyers, who in fact said that I needed to be with Mark Tuan for two years before I can get a divorce.  The last two hours was spend bucking a flight to Hawaii, because why not start the tour of the US with a bang.

☄☄☄

Landing in Hawaii was amazing and our stay there was just a bliss. We surfed, well more like I surfed and Donovan attempted to. We had amazing food. We went hiking and took several pictures of us next to a water fall, pictures that I posted on my new Instagram account. I never had an interest on having social media but I saw Donovan doing it, and I wanted to try it. Now my phone instead of vibrating with new emails, it's vibrating with notifications of Instagram. Many people like my pictures and I was gaining followers quite fast. Donovan got annoyed because on my first day of having an Instagram account I had more followers than he did, and he has had his account since Instagram first launched.

On our fifth day, and last, we went to a party. Donovan got so drunk that he agreed to get  the phrase 'I'm sexy and I know it' tattooed to his inner thight. His reaction the next day was hallariouse. He also made me get a tattoo of his choosing since I didn't stop him. He ended up choosing a Phoenix, I chose to tattoo it on my wrist. It hurt like a bitch but it was fun to have a very permanent sovenier of being in Hawaii.
After Hawaii we decided to come to New York.
