It was almost night when Bella arrived at her house—Tristan's house.
Actually, Bella didn't want to return to this house anymore. But she needed to take out all her belongings, and most importantly, she needed to erase all traces of her in the house.
She didn't want to leave anything for Tristan to remember her. She wanted that man to forget her because she would do the same.
...
When Bella was done parking her rental car in the front yard, she saw Noora appear from the main entrance. Only saw Noora's worried expression, enough to make Bella know something was happening inside.
Bella silently sighed deeply before exiting the car, "Aunty, why do you look so annoyed?"
"Young Miss, someone is waiting for you," Noora said with a worried tone. Bella could guess the person she is referring to.
"Snake Queen?" Bella casually said while walking toward the door. She prepared herself to face her mother-in-law for the last time before she left this house.
Noora didn't utter anything but nodded. She took Bella's bag and walked to follow her inside.
"Aunty, have you finished packing everything I told you?"
"Yes. I finished packing all your belongings and removed all your pictures in this house. But—" Noora paused while stopping her step.
Bella also stops while turning to look at Noora.
"Miss, I didn't enter young Mas... I mean Tristan's bedroom. You know, his maid always guards that room and never lets anyone except him enter, right!?" She said hushedly, afraid someone would hear what they were talking about.
Bella slightly frowned, but a second later, she smiled while tapping Noora's shoulder gently.
"Aunty, don't worry. Tristan will never keep a picture of me inside his bedroom and study room..." Her lips revealed a barely noticeable smile when she remembered how cold Tristan was toward her during their four years of marriage.
Only a few people know that they don't share the same bedroom. They have their own room. Tristan only visits her room when he wants to make love to her. Her life in this house is like a palace woman in the Eastern historical drama, as a concubine.
All this time, she was delusional to think Tristan had a feeling toward her, even just a little; that's why she was okay with this arrangement.
Noora was at a loss for words and felt sorry for her young miss. She knows how miserable Bella's life is in this house, but she can't change Bella's mind about leaving because she knows that Bella truly loves Tristan. She could only guard Bella if someone tried to hurt her physically.
Bella gave her car key to Noora, "Aunty, bring all my belongings and yours to the car. We will leave the house tonight after I settle my matter here," She smiles to reassure Noora that they will be fine.
After she saw Noora leave, her smile gradually vanished. Her lovely expression slowly turns cold, ready to face the snake queen.
