Love Scatters, Hearts Break

Chapter 9

Jessica sucked , but she stopped talking . Sooner or later , both Samael's money and the title of his wife were going to be hers . Nevertheless , she knew she could rush the matter , so she had to put up with it for now It had been a while since Samuel last came home during the day. As he stood outside the familiar villa , he felt a long - unfelt sense of novelty and unfamiliarity Perhaps this was why people often said absence made the heart grow fonder." Emmy , l'in back , " Samuel called out as he stepped briskly past the garden and into the living room . The garden was neat and well - kept . Everything inside the house remained the same as well , with not a speck of dust to be found anywhere . All of these things reflected on the owner's taste and personality And these were all attributed to Emily's efforts . Samuel wanted to hold her and acknowledge her hard work , but there was no sight of her anywhere .

At last , he asked the household staff , " Where's Emily ? Has she gone out ? " She was usually home at this hour of the day . The household staff exchanged glances , but no one knew where she was . " We don't know . We haven't seen her since this morning . " Samuel was a little displeased . " Do you not even know if she had breakfast yet ? " No one could answer his question . Deep down inside , they were all scoffing at him as well .

Shouldn't he , her husband , be the one who knew best where she was ? Why was he asking them ? Sensing the awkwardness in the air , Samuel extracted himself from the situation by saying , " Oh , forget it . It's pointless to ask you guys . I'll look for her myself . " He assumed she was sleeping in out of boredom , the way she used to back when they were still studying . Thus , he padded lightly up to the bedroom , but it was empty as well . The curtains were drawn , and the windows were open .

The sunlight filled the room , making it warm and cozy , but Emily , who was supposed to be here , was missing . Emily was nowhere to be found . Samuel instinctively looked around the room . Eventually , he spotted a sealed envelope beneath a box on the dressing table . The envelope contained Emily's last words to him . " I know all about you and Jessica . I'm leaving . Don't bother looking for me . " Emily didn't even bother signing off on the letter .

With just a few short sentences , she put an end to their relationship that had begun over a decade ago . Samuel had no clue that she had long since lost the urge to say anything to him . Almost instantly , Samuel called Emily , but she didn't take the call . He clutched the letter she wrote , not noticing he'd crushed the edge so hard that it was fully crumpled . He kept calling her , repeatedly pressing the call button as he continued to search every corner of the house .

Alas , there was no sign of her anywhere , not even among her favorite flowerbeds or at the swing they'd installed on the rooftop to use when stargazing . Emily had truly left . " Sorry . The number you have dialed is currently unavailable … " After hearing that recorded message for the umpteenth time , Samuel finally accepted reality . Emily wasn't going to take his call . Still , there had to be a way to get in touch with her . He reminded himself to stay calm .

He slapped himself in the face a few times . Once he finally came back to his senses , he pulled up his contacts and looked up all of his and Emily's mutual friends . They had known each other since their schooling days and were the fairytale couple who married their high school sweethearts . Therefore , they knew a great deal about each other's lives and friends . The first person Samuel called was Grace , Emily's closest friend . Grace didn't take the call at first .

It was only after his third time calling that she begrudgingly answered . Upon hearing why he was calling , she scoffed and shot back , " You're married to her . How am I supposed to know where she is if you don't ? " Once she finished speaking , she dropped the call . Now wasn't the time for Samuel to get offended by her attitude , however . He quickly called up the others as well , only to end up with similar results .

They all seemed to be displeased with him , though they chose not to confront him out of consideration for their past friendship . Having known the couple for years , they could also sense the recent change in the relationship . Samuel refused to give up . When talking to Tanya Scott , the last of their classmates that he called , he asked , " Did she not get in touch with anyone at all ? If she really wanted to leave , wouldn't she have at least discussed it with someone first?" Tanya laughed as it she had just heard a joke . " You're Emily's husband . If you didn't even notice anything amiss with her , what's the point of asking if she got in touch with any of us ? Instead of asking us , you should think about whether you two have argued about anything recently . " Samuel fell silent . It had been ages since he and Emily last had a proper conversation . She probably wouldn't have left without a word if she were still willing to argue with him instead .

After ending the call with Tanya , Samuel began feeling , even more panicked . Everything in the bedroom was still in the same place - save for Emily's things . All of her possessions were gone.
