| CHAPTER SEVENTEEN|
A few months passed, I noticed that Clyde was not so mean to me. In a few months I got used to his behavior. I am also used to having sex with him. Fortunately, I didn’t get pregnant. Clyde is careful so he still visits me every month. I also take pills because I don’t want to get pregnant.
At school, I don’t pay much attention to Spencer anymore. I avoided him as much as I could. I don’t want to repeat the evil that Clyde did to him.
last week, we had a sem break so I’m always at home. I go out when Clyde buys or brings something with me. I’m also used to just staying at home. At first, I was bored but now I am not. I’m just doing my responsibilities. but it’s been a week since I noticed that Clyde often came home very late. At that time it was 8 pm, he was already home. But now he comes home at 11 pm or early in the morning. At first, I thought he was just too busy with work, but he’s been like that for almost a week. at first, we had sex almost every night. Now it’s only twice a week. Not that I’m complaining. Just innovating.
In the evening, I still cooked dinner even though I knew he would be home late again. I prepared what I cooked on the table and arranged the table nicely.
I decided to wait for him. I sat on the sofa and watched TV to entertain myself. At eight o’clock in the evening, he still did not come.
8:30 …
9:00 …
It’s nine o’clock but still nothing.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

10:00 …
at ten o’clock I felt drowsy. Clyde is still not coming. I slowly lay down on the sofa until I realized that I had fallen asleep.
THE NEXT morning I woke up still on the sofa. I looked at the time and it was 7:00 am. Is Clyde home yet?
I stood up and looked in the garage but his car wasn’t there. It just means, he didn’t come home.
I felt heavy and felt a bit of chest pain. I waited for him but he didn’t come home. I just sighed and decided to go to the mall to buy groceries. I don’t have a problem with money because Clyde gave me an ATM.
I was already dressed when I left the house. I want to call the driver but don’t. I can do it alone and commute.
just a few minutes drive I reached the mall just near Clyde’s building. I went in and started shopping. While I was choosing meat, suddenly someone called me.
“Nathania!” It screamed so I turned around. I was just stunned to realize who it was.
“S-Spencer…” I said his name softly.
“Hey, Nathania.” Take it. He is completely fine and looks normal again.
I can see from his smile that he is sad, and I know why he is sad. It’s about our friendship.
“How are you?” He asked.
instead of avoiding him I talked to him. I apologized to him. He understood me but I did not tell him about Clyde and me. We talked. Laughing and talking like it used to be. Friendship is back again. but I knew I had to be careful because Clyde might find out.
“I’m hungry. Shall we eat?” He was the one I regretted.
“Are you free?” I will ask.
He laughed and nodded. “Of course, as always.” I just laughed too and we worked together to put my purchases in his car. He insisted on taking me later so I said yes. The restaurant we went to was only a few minutes’ drive away. Also close to the mall and Clyde’s building. We entered the chosen restaurant. We chose a table far from the door of the restaurant and ordered. when the order came we ate and talked again. Spencer has already paid.
Spencer and I were laughing when my attention was distracted by the two people who entered. His face was serious while his companion smiled as he hooked his hand on her arm.
I lost my joy when I saw them. It’s Clyde. It included the woman hooked on his arm. I think I had seen her before, I just don’t remember.
It was as if something heavy had happened to me. My chest ached and I felt like I wanted to get angry at what I saw. Who is the woman with him? why did the woman hook him? What’s in them?
Spencer seemed to notice my sudden loss of pleasure. He also turned his attention to what I was looking at.
“Is that Clyde Marcus Salvadore? Oh yeah, it’s really him.” Turan is Spencer.
“He’s with Daniella Monroe. Do you know her?” he asked and turned to me.
I shook my head and looked at him as well. “He’s just familiar to me. Why, who is that?”
“She’s Daniella Monroe, a famous model. She’s also the daughter of one of the successful business men. I’m sure, Clyde Salvadore and his dad will meet.” He replied that I was silenced.
i admit, she’s very pretty. Sexy and gorgeous. My chest only hurt more.
Do they have a relationship?
“Let’s sit there, babe!” I heard the woman say to Clyde. But what caught my attention the most was his call to Clyde.
She called him babe! does that mean, her boyfriend is Clyde?
It pulled Clyde to the table not far from our table. But as the woman pulled him away our eyes met.
He was obviously surprised when he saw me. he glanced at my companion, and when he realized who it was. Immediately his face darkened. I knew he was angry. I also want to be angry with him but what worries me more is Spencer. Clyde might rush it so I stood up and avoided looking at him.
“Come on, Spencer.” Turan ko.
“Huh? We haven’t finished eating yet-”
“Let’s go!” I immediately pulled his hand away. Fortunately, Clyde and I were seated so we weren’t blocked and Spencer and I went straight out.
I could feel the evil look Clyde was giving me and I knew I was in danger again. I just want Spencer out of there, and of course. So that I am far away from them. I don’t want to see them together and I don’t want my chest to hurt even more. I don’t like that feeling. like a knife being driven into my heart. I am changing. I change my feelings. I feel like I don’t understand.
