When we finally enter the gate leading to the mansion, I can see my parents waiting for me at the entrance. We get out of the car and I walk towards my parents with my head bowed because in all honesty, I don't know what emotion I'll see in their eyes. "My little dandelion is finally home" my mum walks towards me with tears threatening to spill and pulls me into a hug "I missed you so much mum" "I missed you more darling, look at how pale you are I knew from the beginning that you were too good for that idiot but I'm so glad you saw it too honey" My dad also comes up to me and hugs me and I've never felt more secure "I'm glad you home my sweet little girl" "Come on in we don't want both of you to catch a cold I made both your favorite meals" Jules and I head in and after taking a shower, we head into the dining room where mama had really outdone herself with the cooking. She really did cook all our favorite meals. As soon as we're done eating mama asks me what happened and I narrate the whole incident to her "all in all I'm glad he didn't manage to get me pregnant" everyone at the table laughs. "Do you plan on coming to work at the company now?" "yes dad I was thinking of applying for a job at the company" "That's great news and absolutely impeccable timing since we opened a new branch you'll go there as the new branch manager and as you know the salary is six figures per month" " Oh my God thanks so much dad" I say as I get up and squeeze him in a hug. "you start at the branch in Milan next week so be ready" We talk more about what has been going on in our lives for the past three years and its like I never left. After going to my room I take out my phone and open my social media. James has left numerous messages and calls but I don't bother to open them and immediately block him. The photo of him and Sierra that I posted has garnered a lot of press attention and he's being attacked left right and center. The investors he was trying to get have declined his offers and some of the ones he had have pulled out. By the end of the month, he was going to wish he had remained faithful or at least been discreet. I looked around my room and nothing had changed; the walls are the same color all the paintings I bought at my brother's auction were still on the wall and the photo of me, Jules and the girls was still at my bedside table. Tomorrow was definitely going to be a long day since I had so many things to do but very little time. I talk to the girls in the group chat before I fall asleep once again and for the first time in a long time, I just have myself to think about.
