Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 53

After a long walk, Leanna felt a chill run down her spine. She never noticed that Aidan had so much free time on his hands. He actually went out of his way to ask if she had her dinner, if she had bathed, and even if she was dating someone. His behaviour was getting more confusing.

She got a taxi and went to Zoe's place. The front door was ajar when she came, and she heard sounds of quiet sobbing coming from inside. She waited for a few minutes and left silently. Leanna could understand because she would love to be alone too if she was in the same place.

She came back home and sat behind her desk, spacing out at a blank piece of paper. A feeling she never had before started bubbling within her. Zoe had dated Anthony for five years, so she probably never thought he would cheat on her.

Leanna herself was the same. For three years, she acted as a good wife for Aidan in their marriage. She knew he despised her, so she knew what she should and should never do. She never did ask for anything else. However, she was not an emotionless robot. She had lived with him for three years, and she might have done it for the rest of her life, until Mia showed up.

Aidan was never hers. No matter how badly or nicely he treated Leanna, he was never hers. Looking back, she actually cared about the marriage, but she knew it was useless to care about it. She thought the divorce and new life would make things better, but Aidan had no plans on letting her go though with it. He was like a thorn inside her heart, but she could not remove it even though she knew it was there.

…

The next day, she came to Castor Villa while Aidan was working.

The maid was terrified when she saw Leanna coming in with some movers and gave an excuse. "Madam, we can't let any unauthorised personnel in. It's the master's orders."

Leanna understood his temper and said, "They're not coming in. I'm taking my stuff down." She went upstairs with her empty luggage.

The maid followed her, trying to calm her down. She thought they were just having a lover's quarrel. "Why don't you move after the Master comes back, Madam? We don't want him to be angry."

"Is there ever a time when he isn't angry? He simply feels like my things are taking up his space and getting in his way, so I'm moving everything away to see what else he can say."
