Chapter 5 The photo

Chapter 5

"I will wash." I got up after eating, I was going to the kitchen but Laurence immediately stopped me.

"I'm Jade, since I'm the one who came to you here. Just relax." He said before grabbing the plate from me, I didn't answer.

I went around his unit, it was clean. There are two rooms and one is probably the bedroom, I turned my gaze to a room.

I slowly walked towards it, I even glanced at Laurence before I finally went inside.

I think this is a library, it's all books and there are also long shelves in the middle.

Since he's a doctor, this book is all about Med.

I went straight to an office table, based on what I could see it was his working place. He probably reads and works here.

I saw a photo on his desk, I was about to go to it but I was immediately stopped when he called me.

"Wait a minute." I shouted before rushing out.

"Where have you been?" He asked while wiping his hands, he had finished washing.

"I just restroom" When I lie, he just nods before entering his room. I looked at the top of the door of the room I entered, I fell asleep after seeing a cctv don. Not a good liar Jade.

I approached the cctv before giving the peace sign as an apology for entering without notice.

I remembered the photo earlier, all I saw was hair and I'm sure it was Azi and I's hair, but why would he take our picture?

I shook my head before returning to the couch, why am I overthinking?

I stayed there for a few hours, I waited until the rain stopped. Laurence also drove me as it seemed.

I turned to my cellphone when a notification suddenly came in.

I was currently lying on my bed, I reached for my cellphone to see what it was.

'Azriel posted a new photo.'

I pressed it and a picture of him with his parents appeared, I think it was in Paris.

I zoomed the photo, I touch his mom's face.

I'm so lucky because I got to experience his mom being his mother-in-law, she's so sweet a good hearted woman, well his dad is a good hearted too but we're not that close because he's busy and only once in a while we'll see you

Cutting connection with him doesn't mean that I need to cut my connection with his parents.

a|n: good morning! don't forget to eat your breakfast.

I was about to put down my cellphone when it suddenly rang, it was Azriel's number.

"Hello?" I answered the call.

"Jade, thank you for answering my call." It's open.

"You have something to say?" I said straight to the point, it's almost 12, why would he call at this time?

"How's our-"

"My, baby." I cut him off. "If you call to ask how my son is doing, don't worry. I can take care of it." I was about to end the call but he still spoke.

"Let's meet, tomorrow at our condo, I'll wait. Good night." He said before hanging up.

I looked at my cell phone wondering, is he going to ask for closure? Is he going to tell me why he was able to leave me and replace me with something like that? Will he tell me the reason why he divorced me?

I laughed softly before wiping away the tears that started to fall down my cheeks.

I have told myself many times that I will not cry anymore but it is still difficult, it is still painful.

Even though sometimes I didn't think that our simple fight before would end in divorce because we were still able to fix it, then I woke up one day and it was gone, that he was ending it, that he was asking me to let him go.

We used to be so happy that I couldn't even prepare for the day when we parted, I couldn't imagine waking up without him, to live again without him but look at me now, alone and constantly preparing myself for the next few days.

I took a deep breath before wiping my tears, I rubbed my stomach while my tears didn't stop coming out, I want to cry all now just for one pain, just for one cry, my tears will also get tired but for now let it please make me taste the pain until I'm the only one tired.

Azriel for the hundredth time, I want to ask you again.

Where did we go wrong?

a|n: I'll update later, I'll sleep first I haven't slept yet.

I woke up early because of the sound of my alarm clock, I set up last night and I don't know why, I went straight to the mirror to look at myself.

My eyes are swollen from crying non-stop last night.

I took a deep breath before going to the bathroom, this is it Jade.

After I finished fixing, I immediately got into my car, it took me a few minutes before I started the car.

I just put on simple make up to hide my dark eyes, because until now it's still obvious. How many hours did I cry last night?

I watched the trees dance with the strong wind.

What can I ask him later?

I just want to know one thing.

I slowly parked the car in the Parking Area of ​​the condo where Azriel was.

I took a few more deep breaths before finally going inside.

I was about to knock but my body doesn't seem to want it, it's like something else.

I was about to knock but when it opened on its own, I stopped after seeing Monica and Azriel.

Azi didn't have anything to wear, neither did Monica, only a sports bra was on her body.

My eyes widened after they kissed in front of me, I couldn't help but gasp.

I was about to turn around but Azriel immediately grabbed my shoulder.

"Is this why you met me?" I asked trying to hold my tears.

I immediately hit him before slapping him not only on the face, I slap him not just once but the pain I feel still doesn't go away, I just said that last night was the last time I cried but was this new?

"Azriel, yes! It's clear to me that you love Monica more, but I also feel something! I'm also hurt, what's not clear to you? If you sent me here to hurt me again, come on." I immediately pulled them into the room.

"Jade.." He tried to stop me but I didn't stop.

"S*x in front of me just to make you sick! It's Azriel for sure because it never ends! What did I do to make you want me!" I sat on the floor because I was in so much pain right now.

I can see that Azriel has pulled himself together but I don't see any guilt in Monica's eyes.

I immediately stood up after I finished my massage.

All the questions I asked earlier seemed to recede, not a single question wanted to come out of my mouth now.

"Nice Monica, you won." I tap her shoulder before I completely left, I saw Azriel coming after me but I didn't pay attention to him.

I felt that Azriel was following me that's why I accelerated even more while driving.

I quickly locked the gate when I got home.

"Jade, what happened? Why are you crying?" Mommy asked, I tried to stop myself from crying before speaking.

"Ma, when Azi rings the doorbell, please tell the servants not to open it, I'm going to rest." I said very hard.

"What are you talking about Jade?" He asked with tears in his eyes.

"I don't want to, it's hard for me, how can I continue tomorrow without him? It's not that I'm becoming fragile, but it's just really hard to move on without knowing the real reason why this happened?" I cried hard in front of her, I noticed that she was sending away the helpers who would pass by.

"Just go to your room, Jade. Rest, just rest." He took me inside my room, I don't know how many hours I was dumbfounded and couldn't think straight.

"Hi there little angel.." I cried while talking to my child in my womb.

"I'm so sorry but I think you will never see the beauty of the world." I don't know why Am I saying this.

"I'm so sorry if your daddy and I still feel sorry for you." I turned to my mini table before taking the cutter.

"I'm so sorry baby." I was about to cut my wrist but suddenly the door opened causing me to return to my trance, I looked at the cutter in my hand and immediately let go.

What are you planning Jade?

"Please Jade, don't do that." When mom begs while hugging me, I close my eyes tightly before nodding.

"Mama I'm losing myself, I don't know how." I answered, she kissed my hair, I could feel the helping liquid from her.

"Jade, don't leave me okay? Don't leave me and your uncle Fred." She cried, I hugged her tight before nodding.

"Mom, I can't stand being near Azriel anymore, it's like I'm being killed little by little every time I see him and Monica together, I want to get away first."

"Where? Who will be with you?" He asked.

"I have a friend and he's a Doctor too, he can take care of me." I said without saying Laurence's name.

"I talked to your wife." I stopped because of what mom said.

"Don't you want to sue them?" He asked.

"Mom don't, for what else? Let him live the best life we ​​dreamed of."

"How are you?"

"Isn't it what the song says, Acceptance is the key to be, to be truly free. I will be okay not now but I know I will be okay and when that time comes, I can on my own dream too, he's gone, I can do it alone." She hugged me again before she finally left my room.

I want to start a new chapter without him, without crying, with pain.

I'm currently packing my suitcase, why did I think that Azriel and I would get married in another country? The processing of our divorce papers has been faster, well if we got married here in the Philippines, only Annul will happen, but we will still get divorced.

"Son are you ready?" Uncle Fred asked, he will be with us on the trip but he will immediately return to the Philippines to accompany Mama btw he's my stepfather.

"Your friend is already downstairs, take your time Jade, it's still early." He said before closing the door again, I've mastered the look of my room, we'll be back but I don't know when.

Well, it was even forced when I asked Laurence to accompany me to another country, he was the only one I could trust to come with me.

He didn't even want to at first because he said he had a job but I still insisted, he said he would go back to his job in the country we were going to.

I took a deep breath before putting my and Azi's wedding and engagement ring in the locked cabinet, I can't throw it away because I still cherish the memories hidden there.

Yesterday when Monica came here to cause trouble, she and Laurence even caught up with each other, I also noticed that they were surprised to see each other but I didn't pay attention to that, well Laurence helped me send Monica away but there was I noticed a USB scattered on the floor with Monica's name on it, I immediately took it and hid it because the helpers might throw it away.

"Let's go?" Laurence asked, he helped me carry my stuff to the car, the flight was quiet, no one said a word and only news kept the noise alive around.

I laid down on the bed after we arrived at our house in Mexico this is my childhood home, here my mother raised me alone without my father, this is also where she met uncle Fred who became my stepfather.

"Jade, I can explain to the assistant what they have to do, how about that? I'm leaving and maybe your mom will miss me." When he joked, I laughed softly before nodding in response.

I didn't notice that I had fallen asleep, probably because I was tired, I woke up because of the non-stop ringing of my cellphone.

"Hello, this is Monica." He said calmly, wait, it's refreshing.

"Why?" I will ask.

"Have you seen the USB?" When he asked, I put the cellphone away before laughing softly.

"No."

I immediately hung up, what exactly is on the USB that he left behind? I looked at my bag where the USB was.

"How important are you to Monica?" I asked about the USB before plugging it into the laptop.
