Arielyn
I walked downstairs ready to just take food and water and go back upstairs to my room, I stopped halfway down the stairs when I heard laughter, I listened to make sure my ears were playing tricks on me but they weren't, I heard female laughter and I knew it wasn't from the cook or the cleaners because they don't stay and talk loudly or even laugh so loudly. I knew even before I went down that it was her, He brought her back home, he wasn't even trying to hide anything anymore. I wanted to just go back to my room but I couldn't let myself be thirsty and hungry just because of him or her so I summoned up courage and took the remaining steps, I knew when she saw me because she stopped laughing, I didn't even bother to look her way, I walk towards the kitchen.
"Hi, good morning,"
She greeted me in a cheery voice, I couldn't just ignore her so I turned around to greet her back. As far as I know, I didn't have a problem with her, my issue was with the man who couldn't be faithful and stick to one woman; maybe I shouldn't have looked at her because my breath caught in my throat when I got a look at her face. She was drop-dead gorgeous but that wasn't why I lost my ability to breathe, it was the fact that she wasn't our kind, neither was she a human, she was a vampire, and even when she smiled, her fangs showed. The greeting I wanted to respond to was forgotten as we both went into a staring contest. I couldn't believe the woman Kendrix had been seeing behind my back was a vampire, I hadn't had to deal directly with a vampire until Raul.
"Hi, my name is Veronica, what's your name?"
She asked as if we were friends, I wasn't about to act friendly with her. not when all I could picture when she opened her mouth was the image of Kendrix kissing her, I felt sick with jealousy and it made me so mad. I started walking away. I saw him a little too late and we almost collided with each other.
"Watch where you are going, Arielyn, you might hurt yourself,"
Kendrix warned, he had two glasses in hand, he said what he said and went by me to give one of the glasses to the woman I was trying to escape from. He didn't even bother to check if I was hurt, I swallowed hard and continued on my way to the kitchen.
"Ari, come on, I want to introduce you to someone,"
Kendrix called out, I turned around for a moment and glared at him, it was so hard for me to keep myself from crying again.
"Ari,"
He whispered as if he was concerned, I glared at him again, forgot the thought of going to get the water or found I came for, I ran back upstairs as hot tears fell from my eyes, I hated how jealous I felt, hated that I let Kendrix have so much hold on me. I shut my door close loudly when I walked into my room and went straight to where I kept my box, I dragged it out and went about picking up my personal stuff from the room, I was done with him, done being a crying fool for a man who clearly doesn't want me and was now bold enough to bring his real woman home, I couldn't fight her or anyone else so it was best if I just leave. Best for me. The sooner I get out of here, the sooner I will start getting my life back together.
"Arielyn? Why did you walk off like that? I wanted to introduce you to Veronica, that was so rude of you to walk out the way you did,"
Kendrix said as he walked into my room. I realized I didn't lock the door after he walked in.
"I don't want to be introduced,"
I told him.
"Why? Wait, why are you packing? Where are you going?"
he asked when he realized what I was doing, I ignored him and continued picking up my stuff.
"Stop, Arielyn, come on, why the fuck are you packing?"
He yelled out, I stopped and glared at him.
"I am leaving, I have had enough, I can't stay here anymore especially now that you have someone here, I don't want to interfere,"
I told him and went back to what I was doing, after making sure I got everything, I went to grab my big box where my clothes would enter.
"What? You are leaving because Veronica is here? How does that make sense to you?"
I didn't answer him, why should I? I knew he was just doing what he was doing for formality, deep down, he was happy that I was moving out on my own, saving him from having to ask me to leave.
"Arielyn come on, why are you trying to make an issue out of this too? Come on,"
I couldn't believe he was trying to downplay everything and make it seem as if I was blowing things out of proportion, I let out a sigh and stopped packing for a moment.
"I don't want to talk about anything with you, Kendrix, I overstayed my welcome here and it is time for me to leave, I haven't said anything for you to be saying I am making an issue, I am simply moving out which I should have done a while ago,"
I told him, turned around, and went right back to packing. I got all my clothes out of the wardrobe and started putting all of them in my box without even folding. I didn't have the strength for that.
"Arielyn, stop, stop packing, why are you trying to leave? You can't leave, we have a contract and it hasn't even been a year yet,"
He reminded me of the damn contract.
"Contract? There is no use for that now, is there? You got what you wanted, you don't need me to be here playing your little game anymore, I don't regret helping you the little I could but that's it, the contract is none and void now, I want out,"
I yelled at him.
"What has gotten into you? Is it because of what happened the other day? I am sorry, Okay? I wanted to talk it out with you but you locked yourself away and won't talk to me, we can fix what happened,"
If I hadn't seen video and pictures of him kissing and romancing another woman, if I hadn't seen him hugging the said woman last night, if I hadn't seen the said woman downstairs a little while ago, I would have believed him but I knew all those things, I would have been a fool to believe he wanted to talk things out.
"Talk? Fix? What's there to fix? I got the message loud and clear Kendrix and I am leaving without causing a scene,"
I let out.
"What are you talking about? I didn't send any message, come on, Arielyn, don't do this,"
He let out and tried to walk to me, I held out my hands to warn him not to come near me, I wasn't a fool.
"Kendrix, I can be a lot of things but a fool isn't one of those things, I saw everything, the kiss, the hug from last night, I know everything, I mean Jordan was generous enough to tell me why you were in Dilgem, the real reason, I didn't want to believe him, but he had proof, and you are right, I was wrong about the mate thing, you have your real mate in the house now, you don't need me,"
I let out. I felt choked up but I didn't cry, I was done crying in front of him, he looked shocked, maybe he didn't expect me to know what he did in Dilgem.
"You are letting Jordan fool you? Do you believe what Jordan says now? And you are leaving because of that?"
he asked. I couldn't believe his audacity.
"You gave me all the reasons to believe him, Kendrix, stop acting like you don't know what I am talking about. I saw you two kissing, I saw you two hugging last night, and I woke up to her this morning, that's all the clue that I need, please don't get in my way,"
I told him firmly, he turned around and I thought he was leaving but he locked the door.
