I started to pat his face with the makeup sponge, I wasn’t soft or gentle while doing it. “What the hell, Jennie? You slapped me and now you’re doing this to me?”
I ignored him and continued my work. When I was done, he looked at himself in the mirror and said, “My skin looks so fake!”
“Well, this is how foundation and concealer works.” I explained.
He patted his face a little, brushing off some excess makeup I put on his face, making his skin look a little more natural.
He glared at me, “Well, how was it, slapping the hell out of me when I was asleep and drunk? Hm, feeling any better?”
I wanted to yell, “Better my ass!” but I didn’t.
“I didn’t do it on purpose, the doctor already warned us but you were still getting it on. So I had to.” Lance didn’t seem to agree with me and rolled his eyes. Then he went out for business.
After he left, I had the driver send me to my old condo. I already informed Lance that I wanted to go back to clean it up and pack some stuff.
When we arrived, I went up to my condo while the bodyguards waited for me downstairs. If they wait for me down there, it would be hard for me do carry out my plan.
I sent Niklaus a message, telling him to distract the bodyguards for some time. Then, I texted Leo Mason.
I told him to meet me here, that I needed to pass him some stuff. But Leo replied: Just pass the stuff to brother’s bodyguard, I will get it from him.
I didn’t expect Leo to be avoiding me like this, we used to have feeling for each other, and now he’s treating me this way.
I felt unsatisfied and called him. He didn’t pickup until the fifth call.
“Brother, I don’t mean anything, why are you avoiding me? What can a woman like me do to you? I just want you to come and get some stuff, they are all your stuff that I kept over the years. I just want a closure on our relationship. Just come!” and with that I hung up on him, not giving him a chance to say anything.
I didn’t know if he would come, it was a gamble I made.
He didn’t turn up after a long time. I peeped down through the window and saw that the guards were not there anymore, Niklaus must have distracted them away, but I knew they wouldn’t be gone for too long.
Just when I was about t give up, Leo turned up. He knocked on the door and I let him in quickly.
“Brother, I knew you would come.” I smiled and said softly.
Leo looked nervous and awkward. I knew he didn’t want to come, he was afraid of getting too close with me. He didn’t want to anger his brother anymore.
“Brother, don’t worry I’m not planning to do anything, these are the things that I wanted to give you, I’m marrying your brother soon, I need to bid farewell to our good memories……” I went into the store room and took out a huge box of stuff, they were all his stuff.
I took out a red jacket and asked, “Brother, do you remember this jacket?” I asked. He stared at the jacket, and both of us got lost in our past memories. I reminisced with him, one by
