CELESTINA'S POV
I go to the house around 10 PM. I was really late and tomorrow the plane leaves around 5:30 PM 5:30 AM and I wasn't done packing. I open the door and noticed the lights were out so I just turned it on. Fuck I saw Zavid coming right at me.
" where were you since noon?"
He asked me in a hoarse voice.
" that's none of your business. Do you tell me everything you do and everywhere you go. No right and that's how I won't tell you anything we might be married but just on paper."
" what the fuck did you just say repeat it for me"
" if you are deaf please I'm not the right person to help you why was there something in my mouth or are you really deaf."
" you went to visit your ex-boyfriend right?"
I raise my head to look at him his eyes were like an empty abyss and I had no intention of lying to him.
" yes I did go."
" for what reason."
"Do I need a reason to go where I want to go and with the tone your asking it's like you declared me guilty of cheating on you if that's what you think then I did after all it'll be useless justify myself."
" so you're not gonna tell me the reason?"
I could see he was close to losing his anger but I didn't really care I've had enough with his shenanigans.
" look I have my important things to do and you are...…."
Before I could complete my sentence he slapped me. I looked at him as I felt a bloody taste in my mouth I swallowed it back my eyes turned watery but I wouldn't let it slip down.
I raise my hand and give him a repeating slap both on his right and left cheek two can play the game.
" how dare you?"
He yelled out his eyes terrifyingly cold.
" you know since I enter this house, cage of prison. You've always hits me but I never said anything. Do you just want to show your strength or your might when you fell asleep drunk in the club I came to get you I never ask anything but the next morning you were angry at me for what reason I don't know neither do I give a fuck."
When I noticed he wanted to stop me from continuing what I wanted to say but I didn't because I needed to let everything out what was in my heart out else it was gonna suffocate me one day. I wiped my tears as I continued.
"If you hate me that much then say it and I'll disappear from your life and you'll never see me again. Should I tell you something I did go to my ex but I went there as a friend.do you know you are the reason we are no longer together he said I was in the marriage marriage in a loveless one at that so we could run away without turning back. I could've said yes but you know what I said no but here you are judging myself respect and principles just who do you think you are my husband I don't think you're worthy to be one."
He looked at me like he wanted to apologize but I wasn't going to forgive him I didn't want to give him that chance. I needed to let you know how I felt.
" when you had gone clubbing you got so drunk I was the one there. I took you from there and do you know how embarrassing it was for me but I did it and I didn't ask you what you were doing but what do you always do you always physically mentally emotionally hurt me so so much."
I wipe the tears that kept falling.
" you know my grandma told me that you might me different from my family especially my father but I guess you're just like him abusive one more different."
With that I took my purse that fell on the floor and left the room.
This marriage was never planned it was Jess and will always be a business to one more year then it will be over. Soon I'll be free from what we called this so-called marriage.
I'm sure you're absent why are you being so annoying. Well I tried but my grandma's life was placed on the line she took care of me since I was a kid she was my nanny but as time went on I saw her as my only family. I guess she was the only one who liked me.
ZAVID'S POV
I sat in my chair with the lights on feeling that I should wait for her I didn't know why I had that feeling.
" Sir we've tracked her."
" where is she?"
" Sir she's with her ex-boyfriend as well as his best friend."
" names."
" Maxwell Cooper and Adrian Miller."
I didn't pay attention to what he was saying and just hung up. After some time I had an engine I walked towards the window and saw her get some down from the carats waited for the car to drive away before she turned to walk towards the house.
I didn't even know why I was watching here because our marriage is just a business contract nothing else and nothing more.
She opened the door and I confronted her and one thing led to another, a fight ensued. I don't why when I'm always with her my emotions always go haywire. I know I shouldn't of hit her but I wanted to apologize and she just walked away leaving me to dwell on her words.
CELESTINA'S POV
I don't know how exactly I fell asleep I did by 3:30 AM I was awake because o supposed to be at the airport by 5:30 AM as the flight six off at six.
I washed up and packed my credit cards and other things into the suitcase and by 4:30am. I went down prepared some breakfast from Max, Adrian, Zavid and I. And I placed Zavid's food in the microwave but the packed the rest for I and the gang.
I took the time and I noticed it was almost time for Adrian to come and pick me up. my phone ping and I noticed a message from him I guess he's here I just walked downstairs took one last look at the mansion and walked out.
I took one last look at the mirror to make sure I applied my constant level to hide a bruise from the slap as I forgot to apply ice on it yesterday.
I smiled at myself in the mirror, grandma always said I look like a weeping willow with my watery eyes that glittered whenever I was happy and my structure invoked protection in other people but I didn't see any of that. All I saw was a broken girl who wanted freedom and most of all love.
I was broken out of my thoughts by a car honk. I looked at my head to see Adrian and Max. I guess they are always right on time.
They got out of the car and help me with my luggage and we got into the car to set off.
In the car.
"So Celeste how do you see me and Max your life."
Adrian asked.
"We'll I see you and Max as big brothers."
When I said that I saw his veins bulged out and he was squeezing the car wheel. I checked the car slot mirror and saw hurt flash through his eyes, was it my imagination I checked once more and everything was like a dream Adrian showed no signs of what I saw before and his eyes held joy or so I thought.
" you are also the little sister that I never had."
When Adrian said that I felt he said it rather forcefully or am I just imagining everything.
" We are here guys."
Max said and we all got off.
"Celestina Celestina."
I turned my head and saw Kiara calling and waving at me. Well she's one of my friends in University she's half Indian half Korean.
"Hey there."
When we got to know each other we practically hit off she wants to be a head surgeon because her dad died from whole in heart when she was 10 so she's doing it in remembrance of him and his name.
And with me it's always been my dream and also grandma has a problem with her heart but the only difference is that she specializes in has surgery while I specialize in heart brain bones and the muscles.
We kept talking on conversing going to get on the plane I checked my phone and switched it got on the plane after my plane tickets was checked.
I said together with Kiara while the guys that's behind us we had a lot of things in common from foods movies she's quite fun. I had this gut feeling that this trip is going to be a life-changing one.
