99 Can Not Escape
Kalea felt that it was not her right to continue to hear the conversation between the two people. She quietly walked out while calling someone.
[What? Can’t you contact me-]
“Zeline, please pick me up. You’re the only person who can help me.”
[Huh? What do you mean? Where are you?]
“I’ll give you the location, but you have to come here quickly.”
[Fuck, you think I can fly or teleport, huh?!]
“I hope so. I’ll send the location in the chat.”
The phone call was cut off unilaterally by Kalea. After she sent her location to Zeline, she looked for a safe place to wait so Arthur would not find out. Tonight, Kalea was going to let the man finish his relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Either it is really finished, or Arthur still loves the woman named Aurora. One of the reasons why Kalea did not want to hear Arthur’s answer after Aurora confessed her feelings again was because Kalea was afraid that what she was thinking would really happen.
Compared to her, who is only a woman who is only limited to a contract, of course Aurora has space in Arthur’s heart, and they have indeed loved each other. In addition, after watching Arthur during the weddings, her sugar daddy looked uncomfortable and distanced himself as if Arthur hadn’t really forgotten his ex-girlfriend.
.....
“They’re both unmarried, it’s possible that Arthur still loves that woman,” Kalea muttered, her grip on the clutch bag getting tighter.
Her cell phone rang, she took it out of her clutch bag. Look at who is calling her without any intention to pick up the call. Arthur kept texting and calling Kalea, asking where the girl was. However, Kalea instead put her cellphone back in her clutch bag.
A very familiar car stopped right in front of Kalea. The car window was opened, showing who the owner of the car was. “Hey, it turns out you’re here.”
Kalea got into the car and sat in the driver’s seat. “You came fast, Zeline.”
Zeline rolled her eyes lazily, her face showed that she was really annoyed that her activities were interrupted by Kalea. She started to drive her car back away from the wedding building. “You arbitrarily told me to pick you up. You think I’m your slave?!” Her nagging annoyed was like a witch.
“Sorry, I have no other choice,” Kalea said sadly, her condition getting more and more gloomy, making Zeline unable to nag anymore.
“So what exactly happened? Who got married and why are you alone?” Zeline asked repeatedly.
“I was invited by Arthur to accompany him to a friend’s wedding from his college days,” Kalea answered blankly, looking at the quite busy street.
Zeline raised an eyebrow, still a little clueless about what was happening. “Then why aren’t you with Arthur? Don’t tell me you had a fight with him.”
Kalea lowered her head, playing with her slender hands. “I don’t know what to do, I feel like I can’t face him.”
“Huh? Why?”
“There’s her ex. And I overheard her talking a bit, that her beautiful ex still loves Arthur and wants to mend the relationship again,” Kalea explained.
Zeline’s eyes were rounded, she was surprised but she covered all forms of her expression and tried to remain calm. “Then what is Arthur’s answer?” the blonde girl asked.
Kale shook her head slowly. “I don’t know because I left straight away. Zeline, do you know about their relationship? Her ex’s name is Aurora.”
“Th-that ... I don’t know. Besides, I wasn’t that close to him that Arthur could talk to me about something so private,” Zeline lied. Because to be honest, even if only a little, Zeline knew about that woman. However, she is not sure whether to tell Kalea as it is not her right to speak.
The corners of Kalea’s lips curled downward, and neither one wanted to tell about it either Zeline or Daniel. And she was afraid to ask Arthur.
“By the way, where should I drop you off? The apartment?”
“No! Just my house, I don’t want to see him,” Kalea answered quickly.
“Lea, but if Arthur still loves that woman, what will you do?” Zeline was a little curious.
Kalea was silent for a moment, she had been thinking about it all this time and she had not found the answer. “To be sure, Arthur will break the contract with me. So far, I’ve only accepted what he did to me,” Kalea replied with a bitter laugh. It’s sad that she is rarely lucky, apart from her academics.
Wait, what did Kalea expect from Arthur? It should be like this. Kalea would definitely be dumped by Arthur if that man had found his happiness.
“Why are you so pessimistic? He could stay with you and keep in touch with Aurora too. It’s not impossible for Arthur,” Zeline said casually, and then asked where the location of Kalea’s house was. “You’ll be like me, Lea. Became a married man’s mistress.”
“A-arthur will marry that woman?!”
“W-why are you surprised like that?” Zeline asked, looking at her friend strangely.
“Sorry, I still can’t imagine it,” Kalea whispered again glumly, for some reason her heart became tight. “But I don’t want to be like that. It’s better if our contract is ended, I don’t want to be an affair,” she continued steadily.
“Huh? You think I didn’t give you a job like this in the first place to be a rich guy’s mistress? It just so happens that your sugar daddy isn’t married! And if I introduced you to a married man, would you reject him?”
“Yeah, I don’t want to be a destroyer of relationships people,” Kalea replied quickly and firmly. “I can’t imagine how his wife and children will feel when they find out the head of the family is cheating with other women. I can’t forgive that,” she continued. Her mind became focused on her broken family because her father preferred the mistress.
Zeline laughed mockingly, and said, “Why are you being such a wise girl? Was it because your father cheated on your mother and ended up traumatizing you?”
“That’s right. I’m a victim of a selfish adult’s actions. That’s why I didn’t want to do it, I know how painful it is.”
Zeline swallowed her saliva roughly, she did not mean to say it seriously. “S-sorry, Lea. At first I was just joking talking like that ....”
“I know, it’s okay. I also won’t judge your current position as a married man’s sugar baby,” Kalea said, hoping Zeline was not offended by her words.
Zeline took a deep breath, her car had stopped right in the alley of Kalea’s house. “Well, you wouldn’t understand if you weren’t in my position. But, I also want to finish everything quickly,” Zeline replied with a bitter smile.
“Then thank you for saving my life tonight.”
“You’re exaggerating.”
Kalea had just removed her seat belt. Zeline’s cell phone rang, indicating that someone had called her.
“This is from Arthur. It seems like he knows if I have anything to do with you,” Zeline said, showing the call to the girl with the brunette hair.
“D-don’t pick it up! Just ignore him, and if you are urged by him, just say you don’t know anything,” Kalea said, a little panicked.
“Yes, yes. Leave it to me, now go.” Zeline waved her hand like she was chasing a dog away.
“Okay, thanks again.”
“Yes.”
“Be careful on the way.”
Four right angles appeared on the blonde girl’s forehead. She looked at Kalea with annoyance then said, “Ugh, I know! So when did you really get out of my car?!”
“Okay, okay. Don’t be angry, Zeline. You’re going to get old,” Kalea said as she got out of her friend’s car. “Thank you-” Kalea blinked in surprise because Zeline immediately drove her car quickly without letting Kalea speak again.
Kalea started to walk towards the house. Trying not to keep thinking about her sugar daddy, who might be having fun with his most beautiful ex. Kalea snorted, how could her feelings be mixed up because of that man? However, their relationship is not a real couple’s.
Kalea entered her lonely house, no one was there because her mother was still recovering. The girl put her clutch bag on the sofa and she took a drink from the fridge.
“Oh, there’s nothing here but cold water. I should have bought groceries, ah, but I’m rarely here either,” Kalea muttered thoughtfully. Luckily, she was not hungry because she had eaten at Arthur’s friend’s wedding. Kalea returned to the television room and turned on the electronics just to make the atmosphere at home less quiet.
And again, Arthur contacted her. Kalea looked at her cell phone until the call ended. However, Arthur still sent many messages and contacted Kalea many times without getting tired.
“He’s crazy!” Kalea shouted, reaching for her cell phone. She wanted to pick up the man’s call, but Kalea was afraid. Her sugar daddy would definitely scold her and ask her why she came home early. Then what should Kalea say if it is like that? Kalea heaved a sigh of relief when Arthur finally stopped bombarding her with messages and calls.
It has been ten minutes, and it seems Arthur was tired because Kalea did not reply.
When the bell rang, Kalea’s body froze for a moment. It felt bad to think that it was Arthur, considering the man was quite stubborn. Kalea was hiding behind the sofa. However, the bell kept ringing many times and it sounded very noisy.
“Argh! Just a minute!” Kalea shouted, she could not make Arthur or anyone else ring the bell continuously and annoy the neighbors around her.
Kalea took a deep breath before opening the door. And it turned out to be true.
“It’s great that you didn’t reply to my messages and calls. Did you lose your phone or did you throw it away, hm?”
