Chapter 4

• I had trembling lips and tears flowing down my face as I rushed to my office, packed my things, including the sealed envelope that I wanted to give to him, hoping I was going to make the happiest man alive, but the opposite was true.
• I took my handbag and exited my office, and also the office building.
• Upon reaching my car, I threw my handbag to the rear seat, turned on the engine, placed one hand on my stomach, and cried.
• "I made a promise to you today was going to be an extremely special day since I was going to introduce you to someone extremely special. I could not even fulfill my promise. I am really sorry." I broke down in uncontrollable sobs. I did not know what was more hurtful: the fact that I got fired without any reasonable explanation or the fact that J'onn just rejected me when he literally proposed to me a couple of days ago.
• I had never been this lonely in my whole life. I cried and cried until I couldn't cry anymore.
• After what seemed like an eternity, I turned on the car engine and drove out of the office complex. I had no clue what was going to happen, but I knew I needed my bed and, for certain, that I needed to cry some more.
• I drove to my apartment and reached in about twenty minutes.
• "What the heck?!"" I exclaimed with a stuffy nose as I unlocked the car and got out of it. I did not even close my car properly.
• There were some furniture and a few household items outside my apartment building that I identified as mine, like my luggage and my clothes.
• "What the hell is going on? These are mine. What are they doing here? Why are you f*cking touching my stuff?" I asked the first man I saw.
• "Are you Miss Bonnie Shawn?"
• "How the hell did you get into my apartment? What are my things doing here?"
• "We are following Mr. Condex's instructions. He told us to empty the apartment."
• I stared at the man in shock as yet another wave of tears welled up in my eyes. Among everything J'onn had put me through today, I had never imagined he could be cruel enough to make me and precious human being within my womb homeless.
• "Please, you can't do this to me. It's my home, after all." I snuffled, my head already pulsating from the amount of tears that had flowed.
• "I told you already, ma'am. We don't have anything to do with you. We are only just carrying out the Boss's instructions. And from what I know, someone else is moving in tonight."
• "What? My home? Oh, please, I'm sure you all must be mistaking me for another. I'm not a terrible person to warrant J'onn to banish me. It's got to be some sort of misunderstanding."
• "Look, J'onn and I aren't on talking terms right now, but that doesn't mean we won't get back. Now talk to the other men to collect all of my things. Honestly, I don't feel well, and I need my sanity at times like these so badly."
• "If you have some complaint against this, I suggest you contact Mr. Condex. We'll stop only if he asks us to. Excuse me."
• I watched, powerless; a tear dropped down my cheek as I saw him walk up to the other men, telling them to rush and empty the apartment. I used both my hands to cover my mouth as I tried to muffle my sobbing as I watched more of my belongings being carried out.
• Having seen that there was nothing I could do for now, I ran to my car, went in, looked for my handbag at the back seat, fetched my telephone, and dialed J'onn.
• Please pick up your phone, I wept as the telephone kept ringing. Eventually, it went on voicemail. I repeated on my dialing, but he never picked it.
• I cleared the beads streaming down my cheeks with my palm's back. I then started the car and drove out of my estate. To be frank, I didn't have an idea where I was going. The opposite direction of the office came upon me, then reversed my mind because the securities at the entrance would never let me in regardless.
• With swollen eyes, I turned and went towards J'onn's home, even though I knew that I was not going to find him there.
• It took what felt like forever, but I finally reached J'onn's Estate and parked in front of his home.
• I lowered my glass window and punched in what I knew was the code for the gate to open, but it wouldn't.
• I remembered that I got an error when I entered the passcode the first time.
• "Please No…. Don't tell me he changed this." I muttered as I entered the passcode once more.
• New tears form in my eyes knowing what just occurred. I reached for my phone to call Connor, but this time his number wouldn't go through.
• I dialed another number, hoping to get some response.
• "Hi Zina," I sniffled as the person on the other end picked up the call,
• "Zi….Zina, are you there?" I took my phone away from my ear and glanced at it. Hoping that Zina hadn't ended the call.
• Seeing that the call was still going, I put the phone back in my ear,
• "Hi dear, I can hear you."
• "What's going on, Zina? J'onn blocked me!!! " I didn't know when I started crying again.
• "He sacked me; he wouldn't even look at my eyes to hear me out or explain to me what I did. I got to my apartment and he ordered that all my stuff be thrown out. I tried coming in but changed the passcode. Why, Zina?
• "I did nothing to him, yet he has done nothing but shame me. I must have answers, Zina. This hurt is too great for me to handle." I cried.
• "He came to the office with a lady. His assistant said they are getting married this weekend. How is that even possible, Zina? He literally proposed to me just the other day. I didn't do anything wrong to him. I don't know why he's treating me this way." I blurted out all at once as my howling intensified and I entered another fit of sobs.
• "Just relax, Bonnie."
• "I'm trying to. I just need an explanation. I lost my job, my apartment, and my fiancé all in the same day. Today was supposed to be one of the happiest days, Zina. I needed to tell him something, yet he threw me out of the office. He wouldn't even look me in the face."
• "I don't remember doing anything to harm him. I don't know what I did to deserve all this." I cried on the phone.
