💗ONLY MINE 💗

Episode 100

                     LEONA

"Dave." I called once the door clicked open and he stepped in. I shuffled to my feet and adjusted my eyes to the darkness.

"Why are you avoiding me?"
He came late and I had stayed up all night just to talk to him.

He found the switch and turned the lights on.

"And who said I am?" I watched him hang his suit jacket.

"Then what? Why are you doing this? This is not you." I complained.

"What am I doing? We talk, don't we?" His brows furrowed as he took off his cufflinks leisurely.

"You know what I'm talking about. Stop being nonchalant."

"Fine. I'm only giving you space because anytime I try to get close you tell me you want to leave. To leave me. I didn't want to hear that...

"Dave I ..."

"No Leona. Please don't say anything." He cuts me off and walked out.

So this is it. He thinks I will leave? Well, that was my initial plan but I aborted it long ago.

I tried starting a conversation with him to try and clear his misconception but he wouldn't give me a chance.

I regret so much for instilling the fear of losing me in him. We don't deserve this.

I tried to give us a break but his cold and distant attitude continued for three weeks. Three weeks of awkwardness and sorrow. Our conversations were always light and my questions got answered with straight answers.

In those three weeks, the second week was when we went to the morgue to take Raymond's body but we were directed to his tomb instead. Yes, they buried him without our consent.

We didn't believe it until we saw the death certificate and the tomb. Dave didn't waste time suing the big hospital and it was closed down for good after court trials in the third week.

So it's almost been a month and Dave still wasn't behaving towards me like he used to. He goes to work every day and barely sleeps at night. I don't blame him for that because his work got piled up. It was all because of me.

Kim barely stays at home and anytime she's around, I'd hear her quarreling with Charles. Dave doesn't talk to her either and I wonder what went on between them.

My family is alright and I'm planning to start work soon so we can move to our own house even though no one complained about their stay.

Lando has recovered a bit and was undergoing court trials and today is in fact the final proceeding and a final verdict will be passed.  He's a criminal and I wonder why they needed to take him to court instead of passing instant judgment.

And as for Katherine, she was found lying unconscious in front of her house and tests proved that she was gang-raped. I don't know if she has recovered yet but I pray she recovers. No woman, good or bad deserves that and it's been three weeks already.

Life has been so boring and I'm really in need of work. I will talk to Dave when he comes. No. I can't stay at his house again. I will go to him and tell him that it is enough now. I want us back and I've even gained weight and added enough flesh. Not fat and not slim either, just how he wants me.

I wore a simple cocktail dress and stepped out of the house. I hailed a taxi to the tall glass building I haven't been in months.

I avoided the front desk and everyone before taking the lift to the top floor where his office is.
