Chapter 189
- KATE -
I zip the last bag I’m taking with me to travel. I take a few steps back and place my hands on both sides of my hips as I stare at my luggage before me. I’m just spending a few weeks in school yet I’ve packed so much. I’ll need them all though, one can never be too prepared, staying at home and experiencing the ruckus first hand made me realise that in a brutal way. I sigh, totally and completely exhausted in every way possible. No one really talks about how draining yet exciting packing to travel is. Not to talk of having to unload when I arrive at my destination. Thinking about it is draining already.
I groan, rolling my eyes along. I make my way forward, shifting my luggage to a corner in my room before walking to my bed.
I raise my hand up to the back of my head to free my hair of the ponytail and let my hair dangle freely on my back. I packed it up prior so it doesn’t cause me to sweat while packing my things.
I’m travelling tomorrow. I’ll finally have some time to breathe in a different kind of non toxic fresh air. I never thought I’d say it, but I miss school. I missed it every day since I got here. I also missed not being able to interact with my best friend and everyone else. My phone was seized. The family war dragged on longer than I expected it to but thankfully, it’s over. All thanks to Killian though.
He pulled some strings that I’m not fully aware of and made this thing escalate way less than it was supposed to. Isn’t he the perfect fiancé? The other half people dream of having.
I fall on my bed, leaving my legs out with my feet touching the ground while my torso rests on my mattress. My head is to the ceiling.
Yet despite every good trait he possesses, he never touches me or shows me any hint of a deeper connection, I’m reminded. This makes me huff.
He doesn’t show me his love. Often times, he expresses it more like a duty than something he’s willing to do. I should expect this due to our initial agreement but it’s hard to when I’ve completely fallen for everything that he is. Even though I shouldn’t. Even though our contract forbids me from doing so.
