“What do you mean by she’s gone, did she go shopping?”
Regalia chuckled as if I said something funny and Jeandre glared at her.
“No, she left. She said she’d going back home” Jeandre replied.
“How long have she been gone?” Jenna asked.
“Two days”
“Two days, isn’t she coming back?” Regalia asked feigning confusion and Jeandre glared at her again, this time it was a silent warning.
She stuck out her tongue at him and she left.
“So, she just left without saying anything?” Jenna asked Jeandre.
He shook his head.
“No, she was pretty upset and sad about what happened in the hospital ” Jeandre explained and I remembered that she cried as I left.
I should have called her.
“What happened in the hospital?” Jenna asked Jeandre who turned to look at me.
“I don’t know, ask Christian”
“What happened in the hospital Christian” Jenna asked me with a raised brow.
“Nothing, I just asked her why she left you alone and she said you were safe with Jeandre” I turned to Jeandre and I didn’t try to hide my anger. “Jeandre suddenly appeared at the exit, leaving you all by yourself in a hospital where…”
“Christian, it’s fine, I’m fine… ” Jenna said holding my shoulders, I released my fingers that had balled in a fist.
“We have to find Kylee though, she was pretty sad and she said something about resigning”
Jeandre was worried, I could tell but he was trying to keep his voice stable so he would look unbothered.
He had always had a thing for Kylee, he was just too much of a paranoid mother fucker to man up and talk to her.
“You can find her, right? You can find anybody” Jenna said.
“Baby, I don’t know if you realize but Kylee is good hiding. If she doesn’t want to be found, she won’t be found”
“You can literally find anyone, you have the resources” Jeandre said.
He was right, I could find Kylee but I knew Kylee more than any of them, if I go looking for her she enters her shell mode, she forgets everything and she hides. If I leave her, she would come out in her own.
“Please find Kylee” Jenna said holding my arm.
And there it was, my weakness. No matter the consequences I would always do as she tells me.
“Fine, I’ll find her” I told Jenna and she smiled.
“There’s a package for Mr Christian” Merritt said walking into the living room.
The package was a big, red envelope, I wasn’t expecting anything.
“Thank you” I told Merritt and I took the red envelope from her.
I opened it and inside was a file, I flipped through the pages and I instantly knew what it was.
Divorce papers, from Elisa.
And, her signature were on the pages, she had signed the papers. This was something that had been bothering me for months and it was in the palms of my hands.
“Who delivered this?” I asked Merritt.
“Sir, I don’t know. It was just lying outside and I found it, on the envelope it says a package for Mr Christian and I brought it in”
It was impossible for Elisa to sneak into the house without anyone sighting her, I had tripled the guards in the area. No one could go in and go out without being seen it heard or even interrogated.
“Thank you, you can leave now” I told her.
The only conclusion was that there was a mole in the house, Elissa’s little spy.
“What happened?” Jenna asked me.
“Your mum brought the divorce papers herself, she has signed it already ”
Jenna took the file from my hand and ran through it.
“These are her signatures” Jenna confirmed.
“Yes, I know”
“Why would she do it?”
I remembered what happened in the gift shop, between Elisa and I. And the letter in my room, it was hours later that it struck me that the perfume was oddly familiar, it belonged to Elisa. Why she did it, I did not know yet but what I knew was that it had to do with me.
“I don’t know but I’m not letting this opportunity go to waste”
“This can wait, what about Kylee?” Jenna asked.
“Kylee is a grown woman with an armour of steel, she will be fine ”
Jeandre scoffed.
“I knew you would say this” Jeandre said.
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“You’re selfish ”
“Unapologetically, yes, I am selfish ”
“No, no… You want to make Marcellino sign this?” Jenna asked.
“Yes, for us. For our future, this is very important..”
“More important than Kylee, you can make him sign this later. Kylee is somewhere out here thinking you’re angry at her”
“I am angry at her”
Jeandre’s jaw tightened and he opened his mouth to say something.
“I’m angry at you too Jeandre and for the love of God, do not say anything that would make me hurt you because I won’t pull back. You watched her leave didn’t you?”
“I did, but I couldn’t stop her”
“Why?” I asked him and he shook his head.
“Because you were a bloody weakling, that’s why. Next time, hopefully you would grow some balls.
Jenna’s lips went downwards.
“If you cry I’m not going to go after Kylee ” I told her.
“You’re so mean” she cried and she started walking up the stairs angrily.
“Be careful ” I called after her.
She whirled around and put her fingers in the air.
“Fuck you!” She yelled and she continued upwards.
“I had your room cleared out, you’re sleeping in my bedroom, go and have a nice hot shower ” I told her.
“I hate you!” She yelled again.
Jeandre smirked at me knowing that Jenna’s last word punched me cold in my chest and he left.
I had two options, go to Jenna beg for her mercy, kneel before her, kiss her feet and find Kylee and the second option was to go to Marcellino, make him sign the divorce papers so that Jenna and I would finally be free to get married.
