Quiet now, my dear."
"I don't know what to do. My whole life is stolen from me in a day. Where do I even start from?"
"Don't cry, Bonnie. You're tougher than you think, I promise you."
Ca….can you please talk with J'onn for me? At least listen to me!"
There was a few seconds of silence between us.
"I'm sorry, Bonnie, but I don't think I'd be any assistance."
"Don't turn your back on me, Zina. You're literally my last hope."
I heard Zina sigh.
"You haven't done anything to irk me, my child, and I don't think you did anything to irk J'onn either. It's a pity that all of these had to take place."
"I need answers, Zina. Where did I go wrong? We used to be cool. Literally, we can't live without each other, and now he wants me out of his life?!"
"Calm down, my child, and hear all that I have to say."
I sniffled.
"You're a great woman and God knows I've been wishing so desperately that you and J'onn would be together. I love you for him and I'm so sorry it had to end like this."
"I'm as shocked as you are regarding everything."
I would have come to greet you or open for you, but I was instructed not to do so. J'onn changed the passcode, and it was obvious that he doesn't need to see you in his premises. I was also surprised by the news about him marrying Ingrid.
As I was aware that he was in love with you, he had never ever invited any other lady to his house. I thought at a certain point that maybe you broke him, but after talking to you, I think that all of this was J'onn's option.
"That suggests that he never loved me. He was just in my life to play games with my heart and to destroy me.".
"Honestly, Bonnie, I never once witnessed J'onn fall in love with anyone as much as he fell for you. He was really obsessed with you and his motives were not with an evil intent. I really wish I could give answers for this transition, but I cannot."
"He has seemingly moved on, and I want you to move on as well. It might not be simple, but I want you to realize that you're stronger than
When I believed my life could not get any worse, there was a knock on the window of my vehicle. I looked to my left and my phone almost slipped from my ear when I realized who it was. My heart began racing and I was forced to end the call when another set of knocks rang out on my glass door. These were rougher knocks.
I did not know if I should call this a dream come true or not. I had never seen Mrs. Condex in the flesh other than on TV and in newspapers. And now that she was standing right outside my car, I did not actually know how to react or if I was even able to discuss my problems with her.
With shaking hands, I set my phone aside, wiped tears from my face with the back of my hand, opened the door, and stepped down from the car.
I was just steady on my feet when a hand came crashing onto my face. Blazing tears forthwith streamed down my cheeks.
Before even I could question what I had done to warrant such a treatment or justify myself, Colna, J'onn's mother, was on me first.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
With lips shaking and hands on my cheek where Colna slapped me, I tried to utter what I'm feeling, but nothing came out from my lips.
"You b**tch, why can't you stay the hell away from my son?"
"You think we're gonna let a gold digger such as yourself come into his life and exploit him? What the hell are you doing in his house?"
I was going to speak or say something—most probably defend myself—when Colna cut me short by raising her hand.
"You, piece of s**t!!! You don't say anything when I'm talking."
I tried to swallow my tears.
"Wait, isn't this the company car?"
"Yona!!!"
She called one of her guards.
With the knowledge of what I was doing, I disobeyed the rule and went ahead to beg.
"Please don't take the car from me. This is literally the only haven that I have. Please, Ma."
Colna ignored.
"Get her things out and drive the car in."
"Please ma, don't do this to me." I pleaded, sobbing.
"Don't even get your dirty hands on me!" Colna sneered at me.
Yona obeyed his Boss's command. He went into what used to be my costly car, opened my handbag, and actually threw it outside the street, my phone hitting hard on the ground.
"Don't you ever come near me, my Son, or my family anymore, do you hear?!?" Colna pushed me aside. I lost balance steps and fell onto the ground on my stomach, experiencing a sudden piercing pain through my abdomen.
I cried out in anguish as I wrapped my hand around my stomach.
