Chapter 28

Chantal’s POV

I was just lying in my bed, with nothing else to do, but I knew I was hungry and didn’t want to go out. When Mateo came out, he didn’t return, or if he did, I hadn’t heard from him because I was in the tub, soaked until my fingers and toes were wrinkled.

I felt lifeless.

I didn’t know why I had reached this point, but I knew it was my choice, to lower myself and not raise myself again.

I just rolled on the bed because I had nothing else to do and planned on staying up until I fell asleep. I sort of felt like crying, but I restrained myself and asked, ‘What’s the use?’

Even if I cried, I wouldn’t have opposed what I had done because the damage had been done long ago, and I knew crying wouldn’t change anything. It wouldn’t make my feelings clear. So, I decided to stay like this.

Staying like this was okay because I chose not to ruin something they treasured.

I messed up my hair.

“ARRRRGHHHH!”

I slapped myself.
