Chapter 31 WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Dave doesn't work here. He has his own company. He also doesn't visit me if he doesn't have an important need or else he just wants to annoy me.

"Visiting you. I came here last week. They said you weren't here and you were in Bulacan. Any news about Hailey?" He was also one of Ley's fans when Ley was a teenager. That was what he said. I grew up in America and I didn't know Ley. I only hear so many bad stories about her from Kyla.

"Nah, Clueless. Why, did you still like her?" He laughed then sat down in front of the table I was sitting at.

"Mister is jealous. That was before when you weren't married to her. Don't you miss her?" I look at him straight and he doesn't look like he's joking now.

"Nah, never," I replied then checked the files.

"You won't find someone like her who's willing to be a fool when it comes to you. She sacrificed everything for the sake of love. She's different from Hailey that everyone knows. No one can do the same, not even Kyla."

"Don't compare the two of them. Ley is different, Kyla is different." I insist.

"Yeah! I know. That's why you're unlucky because you can't see which of the two is better." I looked up at him to ask a question but he immediately spoke to me first. "Anyway, I came here to invite you to hang out with the team later," Did he just come here to annoy me?

My friends were also blinded by Ley's sanctity. Now Kyla and I are bad in the eyes of those who know her.

"I can't come, Kyla is waiting," I declined his offer.

"When Ley was still with you, even if you catch up at dawn there's no problem. She's taking care of you even if we took you home unconscious because you were too much. All right, it looks like you're married now to your real wife so for sure you are not free at all. Enjoy your fake married life and enjoy being a prisoner."

"Ley and I are done. We have already annulled." He smiled at me like a fool.

"Really, I can date her now?" I stared at him as I shook.

"It's up to you if you want to pick up someone else's leftovers." He laughed out loud.

"It's ok, you just took the soup without the meat." Then he signed peace. "Kidding aside, I know I don't have anything against you so I won't waste my time. Anyway, I'll go, if you want to go to the bar just go just and find us there, if you don't want to we won't force you."

He got up and went to the door. I thought he was leaving but he came back and only his head entered. "From being a free husband to a prisoner lover. The fuck Hunter. Great stupid and brainless." Then closed the door again.

I clenched my fist not because I hated him but because I hated what he said. We're friends and I'm used to listening to what he says. We talk with a real feeling of not getting frustrated and not getting angry.

But why am I now embarrassed by what he said?

I did not have the strength to answer because everything he said was true. But I still believe that Kyla will change. She will also get used to it eventually and she will learn everything. Ley was even worse than her but she changed.

Yeah.

She changed but I didn't see or she just pretended that she changed.

I CAME home early because I was too excited to come home from work. Even though a bit tired because of the amount I had left I was still excited to go home because I knew Kyla was the one waiting for me. Unlike when Ley was still with me, I didn't feel like going home.

But, a little bit disappointed when I opened the door of the condo. A lot of clutter immediately opened up to me. What it looked like when I left was still the same as when I came. Even the kitchen is still the same. Nothing has been fixed in the slightest.

"Kyla?" I call Ky's name. But no one's answered me so I entered the room.

I saw Kyla sitting on the floor while watching the show. Her clothes were different and her hair color changed.

"Hi, babe." She stood up when She saw me and then approached me and kissed me.

"Like my new hair? I saw it on the internet earlier. So I went to the nearest salon to have it done. Beautiful right? And see my new color nails. This is the new trend. When it's hot, it's just plain white. But when it gets cold, it changes the color to blue."

She smiles while showing me the changes she made for herself. I smile at her then pulled her closer to me.

"Did you eat already?" I simply asked to find out if she cooked or even tried to cook because I knew she didn't know how to cook.

"Ah yeah! I bought lasagna and I bought it for you also. Just heat it so you can eat." I just nodded then went to the drawer to get some clothes and get dressed.

I simply watched Kyla go back to watching. When I opened the drawer, the unfolded clothes fell out. Underwear, household, and walkers came together. Even Kyla's clothes are in my drawer.

"Babe," I called.

"Hmph?" She turned around while smiling.

"I'm going out to buy some personal stuff. I'll add the basic kitchen necessities to the purchase. I'd like you to come with me in case you need something for cooking." She turned to face me with a frown.

"What? I don't like it. It's too boring to do grocery stuff babe. Besides, I have no interest in cooking," she complained while frowning.

"But we need to eat. We need to act to clean, cook, grocery, and all. We need to move on our own." I said calmly and still smiling at her so she won't get disappointed.

"We can hire a maid for that. I don't want to act like that. I never did that in my entire life." She insisted then turned away from me.

"We can hire, but the maids won't come right away tomorrow."

"Whatever! I don't want to, period." I sighed for her answer and did not argue with her.

"Fine. No worries, there's a company cleaner that can do that. Anyway, Dave invited me to hang out with the team. I might be too late. Are you okay here?" I had no plans to go with them but it looks like I need something fun now.

"I'm leaving too. I'll go with Samantha." She said and get up.

"Okay."

It did not take long and I left her first. It's also useless even if I stay at home.
