Chapter 26 Time to say goodbye

I've waited enough time until I hear that someone open door next to my room. I'm sure it was Conrad.
I quickly walk towards the door and open it. When I saw nobody is around, I open the door where he came in.
I saw him already sitting on the swivel chair behind his desk.
Mixed with sadness and anger, I walk towards him. I pressed my palms on his desk while looking at him straight in the eye.
"What do you want?" His cold voice makes me feel like crying right now.
"How can you do that to me, Conrad?" I swallowed hard to stopped the tears from falling.
"I am the one who supposed to ask you. How can you do that to my aunt and fiancee?" Even his eyes were full of coldness as he stare back at me.
"They first insulted me. I had no choice but to defend myself."
"They do what? Insulted you?" He scoffed. "On what part did they insult you? For being a gold digger? Is that even an insult?"
His words slowly weaken my walls. I can't believe what I'm hearing right now. Even the way he looks at me was totally different.
"Aren't you believing me?" My throat itches as I said those words. I feel like I'm going to explode anytime.
"Tell me why should I believe you?" He smirked. "I've seen you with my two eyes, roaming around with a guy who carries all the shopping bags for you." His eyes were full of disgust.
"And now you think I'm a gold digger just because of what you saw?" I can't believe he can be so unreasonable right now. "Am I like that to you?" My heart felt a huge blow inside. Making my tears to burst out.
"Isn't it your true self?" He smirk. "Displaying yourself around with men who are obviously giving you all your wishes. Now you want me to believe that you are not doing things like that?"
"I can't believe it. You are already having assumptions about me. Hah!" I scoffed.
"So it means that you are thinking about me that way all along?"
"What else would I be thinking? Thinking that you are innocent when you are acting the other way? You think you can lure me just because we slept together? Sorry, but I'm done with you. I'm done wasting my time playing with you. Better luck next time. I wish you can find someone you can fool with next time."
"Hah! You think highly of yourself, Conrad! You are not living in a mansion or even driving a top car, your clothes were not fancy and you are working hard to make a living. Did I ever told you how frugal you are when you are kissing me? Did I ever ask you for a single penny after you slept with me?"
I can see how he became speechless with what I've said. It's obviously an insult on his pride. But I won't hold myself back anymore. He's been stomping his feet over my pride without mercy.
"Why do you think I'm still staying here? For a few hundred dollars? Don't you think I can still earn that without working as a maid for your mom? Why do you think I let you slept with me anytime you want? Don't you think there are so many random guys out there to sleep with and ask for money later?" I wiped my tears when my eyes starts to blurr. "It's because out of them all, I choose an idiot like you! An ambitious frugal man who treats me like a damp after using me!" I could not hold myself anymore and slapped him hard. "And now what? You are going to marry that woman whom I don't even know where the hell came from!"
"Enough!" He forcefully shook my shoulders. "Don't you ever insult her like that! Compare to her, you are just nothing but a trash!" His eyes were filled with hatred.
And that was what I needed him to say before my head explode. His words cut me into pieces.
"Am I like a trash to you?" I asked with a faint laugh. "Did you even love me even just a little?"
"I could never love a woman like you. And if you are going to talk ill with my fiancee again, don't think that I'll be good enough to forgive you." With that he turned his back and left me.
I felt my knees loses its strength that I fell down. I can only let my tears stream down to my face as I feel an excruciating pain inside my chest.
---------
You know those days
Those days where you're sad for no reason.
Those days where your body is heavy
And it looks like everyone else except you is busy and fierce.
My feet won't set off, though it seems like I'm already too late.
I'm hateful of the whole world...
Yeah, here and there are click-clacking speed bumps
My heart grows crumpled and my words lessen
Why the hell? I ran so hard
Oh why to me
Come home and lie in bed
Thinking if it was my fault?
Dizzy night, looking at the clock
Soon it will be midnight
Will something be different?
It won't be something like that
But this day will be over
When the minute and second hands overlap
The world holds its breath for a little while
Zero O'Clock...
Siren feels like the whole world stop spinning. And there, she could only look at how everything seems to crash.
Her eyes were like clouds that never stop pouring its rain.
She couldn't help but think of how Conrad had put her aside so easily.
'I could never love a woman like you.' How could he say that so easily?
It's already five oclock in the morning when she decided to get up from sitting down on the floor. She wiped her tears and walk to her closet. She took out all of her things and put it on the bed.
After thinking the whole night. She finally decided to leave the place that had served as her home for six months.
There's no more reason for her to stay where Conrad is around.
It's just so funny to realize how she adored and cherished him for quite a long time. In fact, he was her ideal man. And she even tried to move the heaven for him. She had wanted to give him all the things she could.  He became her everything. But he just took her for granted.
----------
Harry introduces himself while standing in front of Mrs. Younas. He slightly bows his head as a sign of respect.
"I'm Harry Spencers."
The madam frowned and her face was really puzzled with what is going on.
It was merely seven o'clock and she had just gotten off her bed when Reena ask her to spare her time for a talk.
She discovered that a guy was already standing outside their door, waiting for Reena.
"I don't understand what's going on." She said.
"I'm leaving." Reena's face is like a calm sea after the storm. She noticed her eyes were red and swollen but didn't want to ask why.
"Leaving? Why?"
"I guess it's time for me go home, Madam."
Harry's face turn so confused when she called the woman 'madam'.
When Siren called him to fetch her that morning, he wasn't informed about the things going on. Siren never told him anything. He had a conclusion that the woman was her aunt and she's just living there for a vacation.
"Is there something wrong that happen? Did I say something wrong to you? Or my family? Say it and let's settle this down. You don't have to leave anyway. " The woman's face was encouraging her to drop off the idea with her alluring smile. But it was nothing for Siren.
"To be honest, you and your family treats me well. But things didn't get too well for me and I'm sorry. I just have to go." She smiled warmly at her.
The woman became her mother since she starts living with them. But she has to say goodbye to her.
"Hey... Is that sports car owner here? He parked his car at --" Claudia stop talking when she noticed a familiar figure facing her sister. It was Reena.
Her blood boils as she saw the cocky woman. She haven't settled her scores with her yet. Claudia smiled wickedly. Since her sister is around, she can do things now to get even with her.
"Claudia, thank goodness you came." Mrs. Younas looks so relieved when she saw her sister. "Reena said she's leaving now."
"Leaving?" She walked passed Reena. She noticed her suitcase as she faced them. She also noticed the man standing beside Reena.
She smirks when she remember him as the one who's with Reena yesterday.
"Yeah. I'm leaving." Reena's face was having that cold expression when she looked at Claudia.
"Why so sudden? Is there something wrong?" Claudia gave her a malicious glance.
"You don't have to know the reason." The latter said impatiently.
"Oh... Look how impertinent you are!"
"Please don't say those words to her, madam." Harry tries to meddle.
"Who do you think you are to speak to me?" She glared at Harry.
"Will you please stop this nonsense?" Mrs. Younas decided to meddle too. The look on her face was indicating that she's getting annoyed with them.
"Well then. If she wants to leave, let her leave." Claudia look at Reena with an indifferent look. "But shouldn't we check her belongings first? We might not know that she's stealing from us."
Reena slightly frowned. "What?"
"You heard it right. You can only leave if you will let us check your things first." Claudia was smiling wickedly. Almost taking her victorious claim of pressing that witch Reena down.
But even before any of then could say anything, Harry stood in front of Reena. Covering her from these two women's eyes.
"You don't have to do that with the Young lady's belongings."
