《Deal》Lost everything
Advertisement
After like forever, I got up and packed my bag and got ready to leave but something came to my mind and I went to that room I thought was a lab. I found a syringe. I drew my blood using it and filled it in a tube. I don't know if he had already taken my blood but I wanted this deal to be over forever. By doing this maybe it will end here. I don't know if this blood would be enough for him cause I don't even know why he needs my blood. I had heard her say magic blood so I guess this must be enough.
I went back to the room, picked up my bag, and for the last time looked at it. Everything came at once. Our laugh, our fights, him teasing me, how I felt safe around him, and how in years I slept without waking up at night cause he was beside me. I gave him my everything, my body, my soul, and above all my heart that I had kept protecting from everyone else and today I lost everything. I lost him and while I lost him, I lost myself too. I always kept my heart protected from attachment, from love but while I was with him these months, I couldn't keep it safe. He took everything from me and left me with nothing.
I was about to leave when I heard the door open. It was his mother. She had a file in her hand. She stood there staring at my hand. I had my bag in one hand and a blood-filled tube in the other.
She hesitated then came to me. "Here.... take it," she said forwarding her hand to give me the file. I just stared at it wondering what it was.
"Your....freedom," she said and I looked at her. I slowly let go of my bag and took that file. I opened it and there were divorce papers and a ticket.

"I .... I know sorry is not enough but I am so sorry. And.... thanks...thanks for everything," she said in a hesitant tone.
"Yeah for the blood," I murmured not looking at her.
"No," she almost yelled.
"There is a car waiting for you. I won't ask if you want to stay 'cause I know you won't," she said and was about to leave but I stopped her.
"Wait, "
She looked at me with slight confusion on her face. I took the pen from the drawer and signed the papers. I handed it to her with the blood-filled tube I had with me.
"I guess now it's over for...ever,"
She hesitated to take the tube "He married me for this," I said and she looked at me, sympathy in her eyes. I didn't need her sympathy. The last thing I wanted was someone to show me sympathy and how they feel sorry for me. I ignored her and then walked out of the room.
The whole house was filled with silence and slowly with my heavy heart, I stepped out of the house. I looked back at the house for one last time. All the memories came at once. The first time I woke up in this house and saw him in the garden. The day he made a deal with me. The day I married him. The day I stepped into this house as his wife.
On our marriage day, when everyone told me to bow on his feet cause it was a tradition but he didn't let me. He shut everyone out and now I know why didn't they dare to speak a word in front of him. He was a prince. My parents would show me eyes and tell me to bow and even if I didn't like it, I tried but he didn't let me.

My eyes went towards the window of our room and he was there standing. As soon as I looked at him, he closed the curtains. When did he go inside the room? Maybe after I came out? He must be happy that he got my blood. I don't know why I was so cursed in love. Why life always cursed me and why I always was the one to suffer.
Driver asked me if I was ready to go. I got inside the car and looked at the window where I could see him standing through the curtain, his back facing me. Slowly tears fell down my cheeks and a sob escaped from my mouth. I covered my mouth and silently cried. The whole ride driver asked me what was wrong but I couldn't even speak a word.
He didn't even bother to stop me. He just let me go without even a fight. I was not worth even a single fight? I guess he never felt anything for me. I was foolish to give him everything, my heart, my body. How did I dare to forget that it was just a deal? He kept me there for my blood and foolish me fell for him. He never told me anything about the blood. Did he keep everything secret for just blood? He could have asked me or even taken my blood using his vampire tricks. Why ruin my life?
The car stopped and I realized, we had arrived at the airport. I looked at the ticket to find that I was going to the USA. Why the USA? We lived there before coming back here. I knew people there but why there? I thanked the driver. I thought of my parents and what would they do when they will find out about my divorce. They will hate me even more. I didn't want to leave but their place would be the last place I would like to go.
They say, even if everyone leaves you in your worst time, you can always count on your parents but in my case, they were the first people to taunt me or who would leave me. They never loved me. First thing was that they expected a son instead of me and unfortunately, I was born. They always told me, I was a mistake. For the first time in my life, they were happy because of me when I married him. They would tell me for the first time I did something right and that's why I deserve to be called their daughter. They always wanted a son cause he would send them to heaven after death but not a daughter would. They loved my sister. I don't understand why they hated me. Maybe I was ugly and I had no talent in me?
At this time, I really needed a shoulder to lean on and cry but as I looked around there was no one. I was all alone. I always longed for love. My whole life, I waited for my parents to love me. I thought maybe someday my parents would love me but they didn't and when I married him and he made me feel that maybe, just maybe he will love me a little bit. I slowly fell for him and now I realized it was all fake. I totally forgot about deal seeing his behavior. I was foolish, stupid to even think that a girl like me with no beauty nor any specialty would be loved and with so much pain in my heart and tears in my eyes, I left the country.
