Chapter 74: Is my loneliness turning into an obsession with him?
Ash’s pov ;
The servants came to inform me that dinner was ready, but I felt a wave of frustration wash over me as I couldn’t bring myself to eat without Elijah by my side.
"Sir, dinner is served," one of the servants said politely, bowing slightly.
"I’m not eating until Elijah is back," I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. The servants exchanged uneasy glances but said nothing, retreating quietly to give me space.
We got back from our vacation and Elijah went to his business as usual. But I didn’t, I dropped out of the drama since the bullying there was too much and my mental health was going downhill.
So after Elijah leaves for work, I’m practically alone at home.
And the loneliness was overwhelming.
It was worse than anything I had ever experienced. I had thought that I had known what loneliness was, but I was wrong.
This loneliness was different. This loneliness was deeper, darker, and more consuming. It was a loneliness that went beyond the physical absence of another person; it was a loneliness that dug deep into the soul, that left an aching void that could never be filled.
I was truly alone, without anyone to talk to or confide in. And it was a loneliness that ate away at me, leaving me empty and broken inside.
Ever since we returned from that vacation, Elijah has been busy with work and hasn’t paid any attention to me. He only comes home late at night and leaves early in the morning, so we rarely see each other.
