Chapter 83: A loser as a lover.
Laura sat in the garage, waiting for Alfred. Her pink nightdress wasn’t enough to shield her from the wind but still, she sat - waiting.
Alfred has the habit of coming back home late but today was extreme. It was past 3:am and still, there was no sight of her husband.
Could he have left me already? She asked herself and her hand on her tight shivered. He had always promised to leave her one day to a younger person if she doesn’t take care of her body and for that, she had always taken extra care of her body. Could it be that he wasn’t seeing her efforts?
From the start of their marriage, there was no love, and till the end of time, love would never blossom between them but still, she begged him to stay whenever he threatens to leave.
She wasn’t fat and for that, she doesn’t need to know that he was just waiting for weight as an excuse. The weight she doesn’t possess but still, she wants to forever please him so, even if it means for her to starve with only water, she does it.
Adams also hasn’t returned and this made her more scared. It was a win-win situation for either he had finally left her for a younger chick or something bad had happened to him.
Over the years, Alfred had only grown enemies and dumped allies - she can’t help but admire the man’s bravery or should we say stupidity.
One lonely regretful tear dropped from her eyes. She had made a lot of mistakes but she regrets only one which drops her mental state to the dust level from time to time.
Unlike Arissa, she had the choice to get married to any man of her choice. She was the only child but with the privilege of not being born into a money-minded family, she lived a normal life, without disturbance or manipulation from her parents.
