Chapter 9 .
Chapter 9 The decision was made .
Whether theyd regret it or not couldnt change her mind to leave .
Ive arranged for Ken to take you to the pick up point the day after tomorrow , Uncle Johnson finally said .
Calista nodded , knowing there was meaningless in arguing .
As she left the study , she found Ken waiting by the door , his face troubled .
Why did you throw away everything I ever gave you? Calistas heart skipped a beat .
Hed found the letters and gifts at the dump .
Once , shed treasured every moment of their relationship .
Whether it was a doodled note or an expensive watch , shed preserved them all carefully .
She remembered when their housekeeper had thrown away her collection of letters without asking .
That night , shed rushed out in tears , searching frantically until shed recovered every discarded piece .
Ken had been so angry hed fired the housekeeper on the spot .
Now , Calistas voice was empty .
They were taking up space .
I needed to clear them out .
She paused .
Theyre useless now anyway .
Ken searched her face intently , desperate to catch any flicker of emotion .
But her expression remained perfectly blank .
What shed once treated as precious treasures , she now dismissed as worthless .
The realization made his chest tighten inexplicably .
He wanted to say something anything but the words wouldnt come .
Then Viola appeared .
Ken , dont be so harsh with her .
Shes just trying to get your attention again .
Kens tension eased at Violas words , his expression hardening into disapproval .
Calista , youre only making me more disgusted with this behavior .
You misunderstand , Calista replied calmly .
She walked to the kitchen , retrieved a match , and set the box of memories ablaze .
Eight years of shared memory turned to ash in an instant .
Calista , what are you doing ? Ken instinctively moved to extinguish the flames , but Viola held him 18-39 Backup Girl No More : Adios To My V Card and My First Love 76.69 % Chapter 9 .
back .
Calista met his panicked gaze with her cold ones .
What you dont want to sea bra , and s done .
As the box crumbled to ashes in the yard , Ken felt as if something was being torn from his heart Perhaps out of spite , Ken spent the next few days flaunting his affection for Viola in front of Calisa But she remained silent , barely gave them any expression .
When Viola asked for her opinion on their new houses design , she offered practical anggestions without hesitation .
Her indifference frustrated Ken more than any reaction could have .
He could feel she was leaving his world , becoming a stranger .
The night before the satellite base transfer , Ken knocked on her door something hed never done before .
Im driving the new researchers to the base tomorrow .
Ill bring you back something interesting .
Calista smiled faintly .
Okay .
Early the next morning , she loaded her bags into the car , ready to leave everything behind .
