Chapter 34

I was very nervous. We arrived after half an hour at the house of Khan's parents, who lived in the most expensive neighborhood in Istanbul.

It was a huge house and all white.

Luiggi parked the car at the entrance of the house and a butler opened the door for us. He told us to follow them and so we did, holding hands.

Khan broke free to go hug his mother and his father.

His mother was a very beautiful woman with copper hair and green eyes, an excellent build and beautiful features. Her father had blue eyes, brown hair and also had an excellent build. First, Khan introduced me to his father Xavier, who gave me a hug, and then to his mother Violet, who looked me up and down.

We were told to go into the living room, we sat on the most expensive couches I had ever seen. The house was all decorated by the best interior designers in the country.

Xavier began to talk to Khan about business and Violet asked me what he worked on, I told her that he was a visual artist and that he exhibited in several galleries. I told him that in August he had an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.

Khan began to talk to his mother about the trip they had taken and that she had liked it. I felt her gaze and I believed that she did not want anyone to take her only son away from her.

Then the butler told us to come to the table and that's what we did. There was plenty of cutlery: spoons, forks, knives. Luckily, I had attended etiquette classes and my family hosted quite a few dinners at home for their friends.

They sat me in front of Violet, Xavier sat at the head and Khan sat next to me. I felt weird, but I accepted it out of love for Khan. The first course was a salad with seafood, then a tomato soup with toasted bread pieces and the third course was grilled salmon with teriyaki sauce.

To drink, there was an exquisite white wine and sparkling water. I ate everything and drank a lot of wine so I could relax.

At one point, I apologized and told Khan that he needed to go to the bathroom. He told me where he had to go, he asked me if he wanted me to accompany him and I told him that it was not necessary. I reached the bathroom with Khan's instructions, went into the bathroom, lowered my panties, took off the cup, peed, washed the cup, put the cup back on, washed my hands and returned to the table.

When I returned to the table, Violet told Khan that I was with him because of the money, that I was not the right one for his son, that he was not going to accept me, and a lot of other atrocities. I told Khan's mother that I was not interested in her son's money, that my parents were billionaires and we had several companies, but I preferred to earn my own money with my work and I assured her that I was with her son because I loved him.

I told Khan that I took me to his house to grab my things and I was going to tell Luiggi that I left myself at my apartment.

Khan didn't know what to say and, then, I told Khan: “Until you solve your shit, don't look for me anymore because I'm not with you to suffer.

I'm with you because I loved you and I'm not interested in your money. Your mother told me a lot of atrocities and I'm not going to allow that to anyone.”

I said goodbye to Xavier and didn't let anyone follow me. I went out the front door and called Luiggi, who opened the car door for me and I got in.

I started to cry, Luiggi handed me a tissue and I told him that I took me to Khan's house because he wanted to grab my things and that he should wait for me and then take me to my apartment.

It took us half an hour to reach Khan's house. Luiggi opened the door for me and Adrian was already waiting for me.

I quickly went up the stairs, entered Khan's room, grabbed my perfumes, my creams, my toothbrush, all my clothes, my flats, my Converse, my laptop, my purse and my backpack and I didn't leave any of my belongings behind. Khan's house.

I went downstairs, but first I wanted to say goodbye to the kittens. I gave them kisses and told them I loved them. Adrian helped me put everything in the car, I summarized the situation and gave him my cell phone number so he could keep up to date with how the kittens were doing.

I took off the necklace and earrings and gave them to him so Adrian handed them to Khan.

I said goodbye to Adrian with a big hug. At that moment, his cell phone started ringing and it was Khan and he told him that I had already left. Then, we went to my apartment and we got there very quickly because there was no traffic.

Luiggi opened the door for me and helped me get everything up in 15 minutes.

Luiggi helped me put everything in the elevator and I thanked him, hugged him and closed the main door of the building. I went up to my apartment, took out the key, opened the door and put all the things in. I turned off my cell phone and left it charging.

I started organizing all my things in my bag, I left my laptop on a table and I left the dirty clothes in the bathroom to wash the next day.

I couldn't believe what had happened. It was clear that this was Khan's dark secret, that his mother always screwed up his courtships.

I thought It's in the dress I was going to wear tomorrow, but I would use it for another occasion.

I wasn't going to let anyone trash me and destroy me inside because I'd already had so many shitty relationships.
