"You must be kidding me, how exactly do you plan to throw away 10 important years?" I yelled to the person at the end of the line.
"It's no longer important, can't you see, It's all in the past now. I'm done, it's over. I'm starting a new life. I quit my job and I still have a few things left but I can easily pick up the important ones later" she answered
"You were never going to come back to New York, were you?" I asked
"No, I'm sorry Jeremy but that's just how it is. Goodbye ...." she said before hanging up.
I stared at my phone screen for a few minutes before throwing it across the room. She moved on, just like that.
I guess I was never really important. I sacrificed a lot for our relationship, my family, my friends and now she moves on.
I slowly drifted myself from everyone, just to satisfy her to show my commitment, only to be treated like this.
She didn't even have the decency to tell me in person, how dare she.
Running my hand through my long hair, I scoffed. I never really liked my long hair but she did, so I left it.
I remembered the day I told my mother I was going to marry her someday. My mum who happened to be very religious was upset, she told me Hannah was raised by gay parents, hence, she kicked again it, not just that, she claimed she was rude, proud, and self-centered. It made no sense.
I haven't spoken to her since then, she didn't accept me so I felt there was no need to continue to talk to her.
After all, I'm an adult who can make decisions without needing anyone's help.
Now it feels really stupid, I shouldn't have thrown everything away.
I stopped talking to my friends too, I quit college and I joined a modeling company along with Hannah.
"This feels like the best time to get drunk," I told myself. Unfortunately, I don't drink alcohol.
I stared at the walls for a long time, why do I always have to lose the ones I love?
It's just not fair, absolutely unfair.
I should probably call my agent to tell him I wouldn't be able to make it to the shoot today, but I don't even have a phone anymore.
I have nothing, no friends, no family, no girlfriend, absolutely nothing.
'I don't drink alcohol but ice cream should work' I told myself as I opened the refrigerator and brought out a pint of ice cream intending to drown in my sorrows.
Unfortunately, there was nothing good showing on TV so the ice cream which was quickly melting was my only company.
This day wasn't what I expected it to be, at all.
I walked into my bedroom and shut the door behind me where I expected to forget all about the events of the day.
The next day I woke up early and glanced around my living room and realized what a mess I created the previous day.
The leftover melted ice cream was on the couch, my broken phone with the broken glass was littered on the floor, the wall was slightly dented because I threw my phone into it.
I tried to put everything back into its place, cleaning the house, and arranging everything properly. Taking as much time as possible I had a shower and looked for my car keys before heading out.
I pulled over when I arrived at the building. Strolling into Sam's office, I was disappointed when he wasn't in so I decided to check the cyc studio.
He was there finishing up with some clients, I called his name to get his attention
"Hey" he replied
"So, what am I doing today?" I asked him quickly
"Where were you yesterday? I tried calling you but it wasn't going through, you were supposed to finalize the deal with those German promoters and you had a photo shoot yesterday for that shampoo ad, and all that aside, a new job came up and we need to discuss other things" he said rather irritably
"I wasn't in the mood to work yesterday, but I'm here now so we can as well do what I was supposed to do" I know I sounded arrogant but I wasn't in the mood for one of Sam's lectures I just wanted to do this and get it over with, maybe I will even go to a bar and spend some time there.
"The promoters were very upset that you stood them up for no reason and you didn't even have the decency to call and try to reschedule, luckily for you I came up with an excuse because they were no longer interested in doing business with you," he said
"Thanks, so what do we do next?" I asked feeling grateful
"We need to discuss first before going into further details. Let's go to my office"
We both walked out and headed to his office without saying anything until we got there.
I sat down and waited for him to speak.
"You'll be getting a new housemate, probably next week" he stated.
This was the part I wasn't interested in talking about, I knew I was getting another roommate because Hannah quit and so she doesn't get to live with me anymore, the company provided our accommodation, a house with two bedrooms, it's pretty cozy so we didn't move out even when we got the money to do so, we just remained there as it was okay for both of us.
"Ok" was all I said
"I was informed that Hannah quit. Sincerely, I'm very disappointed. She should have said something, at least, a goodbye" I saw the sincere hurt in his eyes and shifted in my seat suddenly feeling uneasy.
"En" I couldn't say anything else because my throat suddenly became dry and I ran out of words.
"Anyways, just thought to give you a heads up so you wouldn't be surprised when a random stranger shows up at your house"
"Thanks" I muttered
"So, the promoters will be here by 12 and then you finalize the deal before we go for the shoot," he concluded

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
