CHAPTER 36
GLENNAt that moment I could feel the thudding sound that was beating heavily out of my chest, the dark feeling I had prior to that moment was consuming every part of my soul and at the same moment I felt the shame of being discovered.Diverse thoughts crept through my mind leaving me confused —I was consumed by jealousy, the fact that her body reeked of Santiago. Staring down at her, after what looked to be a collision between us two, after hitting my skull with hers and we both had fallen back a few steps. My gaze went back to her then to the ground that was covered with the edibles I was smuggling.I didn't know what expression would suit me most at that moment, anger that I had been discovered or the shame of being discovered.Confused, I fell to silence as it looked to be the only emotion I could express at that minute.With the room all quiet at the moment, I stared right into her eyes as I was still startled.“What the hell?” a feminine voice muttered—I drifted back to my senses, as Martha's narrowed gaze centered on me as we both stood right there in the middle of the room.I ignored her and went on me knee's as I rubbed my forehead still feeling the agonizing pain, I couldn't help to ignore her scent that was so replica to Santiago even as I packed the packs from the ground.My throat closed up as she continued speaking, the thought that he had another woman over wearing his clothes crossed through my mind and filled it with bitterness.The truth was I hated the woman, I felt ashamed admitting the word hate even if it was a strong word but it was the plain truth.“Hey you! what the hell do you think you are doing with all of that, stealing them?” she snapped, still rubbing her forehead as well.The fact she would call me a thief sparked off something in my soul. My gaze swept upward to look at her only to see that she had eyes all over me already. I watched as our eyes took in the other as it was filled with so much hatred.The best at that moment would be for me to be quiet, I could tell that engaging her would start up something that brings Thiago's attention.At that moment, I was trying so hard to ignore her as by the moment I was placing the packs on the table, still not speaking… My silence provoked something in her."Do you talk?” she bit out. “I know you have mean words and can be vocal, why not act all vocal like the way you did the last time we met?"She said this with her hands on her hips as she wagged her fingers. “Now I can see why no one wants you even my sweet Santi. "I blinked.I was at the brink of getting angry if she pushed on, I tried to weigh her words in my chest and it felt heavy … Too heavy.The thought she had played the no one wants you card on me —In as much as her word's came with a bit of truth I hated the fact that they were coming from her, the only reason why I was standing here still with a sane mind was the fact that I wasn't really in a foul mood.I let her look sink in with the fact that I was still angry, Evil eyes and narrowedgazes and all. I took everything in till it was a painful lump too hard to swallow.I needed no one to tell me, we'd never get along as a matter of fact that it was clear to me that she didn’t like me, but I could easily guess that was because she saw me as a threat to having Thiago or perhaps because Thiago would never want her.Still at that moment I was done respecting her or any other woman in his life. If he had any —I made up my mind that I wouldn't let anyone talk to me that way like I was worth nothing.My sister had done that and while having to deal with her differently, with . Martha my heart chose to deal with her in a different way.My chest tightened and as it did I could feel my heart pounding as it refused to succumb.I stared hard at her and could have sworn to myself that she flinched.I believed to myself that she had to give me respect if she deserves my respect, not able to control my anger my palms grew clammy—I could feel that sensation, as though something dark crept through me. Anger.At that moment I was driven to insanity by that one emotion, I was upset enough that as my gaze found Martha with whatever her name was with indifference, my wild wolf felt like ripping her soul out."Well I don't think what I did is your business, this is not the house the last time I checked." I muttered.Her mouth dropped open. “Well, you got a sharp tongue.. .I see. "“And you’re in my way.” I added. ",You will never get him. "Her eyes narrowed, but she looked down at me, I could see that my last words got to her.I could sense that feeling of frustration that had infiltrated my heart at first and then hers, still I could still feel that burning sensation in my Chest as though a hole was burnt Into it.I ignored her,before I knew what I was doing I was packing the boxes again.She stopped in front of me still . "leave or I'd e forced to —"Martha stepped out of the way as I made my way to the steps.I stopped. "And by the way — " I turned to look at her before going up the steps —“ You don't look good in his .Anger crept into her cheeks just before I ran up the steps."We'd see about that!" She called after me.CHAPTER 37SANTIAGOI tried to stay as calm as I could and answer to every question the cops were asking. We stood just outside the laboratory facility door with three cops each holding a piece of documented papers.The thought of who could have possibly tried to break into the facility really got me occupied at some point and everything the cops were saying just pass by my ears with the wind.I have no idea who the heck could it have been. The thought that someone really tried to break into my workplace and no one have any idea who that person could be really got on my nerves but I tried not to let it get to me.“I believe you are listening to what I am saying?” One of the cops asked and I turned to see three pairs of eyes all looking at me.“Sorry what?” I asked, running my hand through my disheveled hair to get it out of my face. It have been really irritating me lately and I will need a hair cut soon.“You will need to read through this carefully and input your signature in the ne
CHAPTER 38GLENNUnder the heavy downpour I strolled the almost discarded road, the road was bare, my heart heavy as I listened to the sound of the water as it trickled down Into the drain.At this point, it was starting to look glaring that Martha has an upper hand when it came to Santiago—No matter how hard I thought about it, the whole situation with him seemed like a puzzle that would never be fixed .A couple of hours ago, I had felt that the whole situation would be easy to comprehend but the more I thought about the situation, the more I saw the entire it was harder than I thought, still I couldn't get him out of my mind.One part of me wanted to disappear from his life and never return yet I held on to him by a tiny string, not wanting to let go.My heart pumped harder and harder as I walked through the bridge, toward the way back home.My mind were filled with the memories of good times we shared, And most of all the the agony as well.The closer I got to the home we shared
CHAPTER 39 SANTIAGO. "Glenn!" I called out as I stormed into the room, the room was filled with silence and I could feel it radiate in every bit of its crook. Diverse thoughts crept through my mind at that moment, and I could feel my heart confiscated by how dark the atmosphere was. Where was she? It was one question my mind was finding difficult to answer at the moment, right there in the middle of the room I stood there confused. The events of the past one hour filled my mind vividly as it was quite picturesque. "Glenn?" I called out when I thought I heard the sound of the door. The wind moved swiftly as I made my way up the stairs, taking in every bit of the view that was screaming at the fact that she wasn't by anyway around— Sighing to myself, or perhaps too scared to find out the truth I moved quite slowly. My phone buzzed and I turned the caller ID
CHAPTER 40GLENNThe door closed and a man walked in, he had the color of his hair —Santiago.For a long moment, I watched the couples as they walked past where I was holding hands, deep in my heart I felt that thud birthed by the loneliness I was succumbing to on a daily basis.Closing my eyes I sighed deeply, it had been one month since I left the city and While I had thought that it would help me get over whatever feeling I had for him, it made it worse.It seemed to me as though I had gone against the will of the universe and all it was doing was making sure I faced a hell of a time for my mistake .I still thought about him, the best times we had. The worst. The—"Can you make it snappy?"I drifted back to reality, apologizing to the woman right in front of where I was.Recently, I just got the job as a storekeeper to keep the bills running, most times I had thought about going back home but at the moment, home seemed like something that was nonexistent.Where would I call home a
ÇHAPTER 41SANTIAGOFunny how one month could seem like eternity. One month had passed since she left and her disappearance left a blank space in my soul that couldn't be filled up.While I tried every bit of my best not to think about her, the very thought of this woman filled my mind day and night not departing.Glenn took a lot with her when she had left, while my money had been the most minimal, she went away with my Sanity as well.There was hardly a way I could think without having her in my every thought, despite this time all I wanted to do was feel her presence all around me one more time.I gasped as I woke up suddenly, I took in air in quick succession as I turned off the alarm.To think that my dreams weren't free from her torment?I stood there awakened, I could feel my soul overwhelmed with both anxiety and animosity as I dragged my feet to the bathroom.Turning on the faucet warm, I stood underneath in silence as the warm water drizzled down, sluicing my skin as though
CHAPTER 42GLENNI turned to the direction of the door as I could feel my heart thudding heavily in my chest—Something didn't feel right, the scent, the atmosphere, all of it. I swallowed the heavy lump that was forming in my throat.As I stood there with my bag hanging from my shoulder, soon a shadow emerged at the doorway and the doorbell jingled.A strange feeling filled my soul and instinctively I turned to the direction of the door.Anxiety zipped through me, at that moment it looked like I was in a kind of dream and must definitely be having an illusion.Blinking my eyes, I was staring right at him as he stood there at the door, flesh and blood, looking around and lifting a pack off the shelf."Fuck."I ducked behind the counter soon as his gaze was directed toward where I was. My heart was beating heavily as I rested my back against the wooden frames.My colleague looked shocked and perplexed—What was he doing here ?What were the odds?Different thoughts fleeted through my
CHAPTER 43SANTIAGO.Was it just my mind playing tricks?For just a minute while standing at the doorway I could have sworn that she was standing right there.At the moment, I was walking back to the motel with two bags dangling, all I could think about was her ."Right in time." Martha muttered soon as I walked in .I was a bit startled. How in the hell did she get in?"What are—""Get dressed, I just got a call we would be meeting with the Investor's in..." She glanced down at her watch. " One hour. "" How did you get into my room? " I questioned.A smile formed on her face as she held her fingers to her lips. "Not saying a word." She walks out gingerly.She stops at the door. " One hour."As the door closes, I sighed deeply to myself . It was one thing dealing with her and with the fact that she was sneaking into my room now—"How did she get into my room?" I thought.I groaned rather loudly as I dropped the bags.I walked briskly and took my shirt off rather than looking around
CHAPTER 44SANTIAGO.Ever felt like doing something bad yet having that feeling it was the right thing to do, at this moment I felt exactly that way.From the hallway, soon as the lift stopped I couldn't keep my lips from her as I kissed her recklessly.I felt like a hypocrite, one minute I was preaching against why being with her was unethical but the next moment it was giving in to my lust, my lips were no stranger to her lips seeing that we once had a fling.Yet at this moment, there looked to be a whole different energy intertwined into us kissing. It came with twice the fire but without passion.Martha was standing right there but faraway, looking at her I couldn't see her face but instead a certain woman that appeared in my mind as the sole purpose of my anger —Glenn."What did you say?" Glenn moaned.It was only then I realized that I must have spoken loudly.I didn't give her answers to her questions instead kissed her again, I lifted her clearly off the ground as the door op
