Chapter 8: BEGINNING OF THE END 2
Harlow returned to the Hamilton Villa after the cremation process. She had returned to the same mansion she'd shared with Alanis for years now even if she had been the only one living in here with Alex. Alanis never returned home and avoided her throughout their marriage together.
He provided for her and made sure she never lacked anything, but there was just so much his money could do. Money was pointless when it came to love. Heaven knows how hard she tried to win him over. How many people slut shamed and mocked her because of him, even when she got married to him.
Ten years is indeed a long time to be foolish now she thought about it. Every day she woke up to the empty mansion, cooking and cleaning for herself alone because she had no one else to speak to. Alex's birth had been a mistake, she would never have had Alex if Alanis didn't return home drunk that night. Just like he did two months ago.
Harlow reminisced about the past as she packed the remains of herself and Alex out of the mansion. She wanted to be out of there before Alanis received the news of Alex's death. The divorce papers and Alex's ashes have been sent to him. It's only a matter of time before he returns.
She would have loved to see his reaction and mock him for being a bad father.
Harlow had no money with her. Without the Hamilton, she was nothing but a street beggar. Her family had disowned her long ago, there is no family to go back to, Claudia's mother will never accept her back.
But she would rather live on the streets than stay here.
She's Harlow Blackwood, she would live off the skills she has. She would make a comeback and make everyone pay for ever hurting her.
"What do you think you're doing you imbecile?" The sudden scream at the door startled Harlow and as she raised her head to see who it was, she sighed. She hadn't expected to see her today, but what could she do, she was in the Hamilton Villa.
