Chapter 30

Calvino rubbed his face roughly. "You keep talking about that. Can't you think a little positive, huh? Your excessive suspicion has made the Kafeel family have to swallow the shame of your impudence, Miss Lenata."

"It was your attitude that forced me to think negatively about you and take such actions. So, don't ever blame me."

"The reason you do this is not based on my attitude, but your selfishness!" Calvino snapped with emphasis on every word.

"It's not me who is selfish, but you are the one who is selfish. Look, because of another woman, you turned out to be very rude to me and blamed me for everything."

"You!" Calvino growled until one hand was swinging in the air.

"Why did you stop, huh? Slap me, Vin! Slap!"

Calvino's sturdy lips traced a smirk while simultaneously squatting down on one leg. An outstretched hand gripped her jaw.

"Listen to me, Lena. I never wanted to be rude, but it was your impertinence that forced…"

"All because you treated me with disrespect. In front of your own parents, you acted like I was a foreigner."

"That's all I did because I wasn't ready to introduce you as my lover."

"Then, when will you be ready, huh? We've been in a relationship for years. Isn't all that convincing enough?"

Calvin didn't answer. He was stunned to see Lenata's face, which showed a wound wrapped in deep sadness.

Right now, Calvino was standing near the window with his chest crossed. Nothing was interesting up ahead, but his gaze looked straight ahead.

Meanwhile, Lenata continued to shower him with hateful looks.

"How long are we going to keep quiet like this, huh?"

Calvino immediately turned his face, showering Lenata with a cold stare. "What do we need to talk about, huh? There's nothing more to talk about. I know this will sound very painful, but I have to say I'm tired. I'm sick of our relationship."

"If you're tired, then what about me, huh? I'm exhausted."

Calvino approached and then grabbed Lenata's slender shoulders bringing her to stand at the same level. He kissed her cheeks and then her forehead with a deep and long kiss.

After that, he looked at her with an unusual look. "Listen to me, Lena. Now is the time for us to reflect on each other, to make things up for each other so that no one hurts each other."

"What do you mean?" She asked in a trembling voice mixed with sobs.

"We're both adults. Of course, things don't need to be explained in detail."

"No, I don't want our relationship to end! Don't think you can just leave me after enjoying me."

"Enjoying what, huh? Don't you forget that I've never touched you other than kisses and hugs. Listen to me, Lena. I'm not saying that our relationship is over. It's just that we need some alone time to fix ourselves."

"If we continue like this, we will continue to feel hurt, hurting each other. And I don't want to be a man like that. You certainly understand what I mean, right?" Calvino added.

Lena didn't answer. She remained silent by closing her lips tightly.

Exhalation of tired breath accompanied the roar of Calvino's breath. Even so, he never showed it in front of Lenata. He rubbed the top of Lenata's head while leaving his apartment. He left Lenata, who still rained on him with a look full of wounds.

The night fight had made Calvino and Lenata no longer talk to each other. Even so, Calvino was still kind enough and willing to take Lenata to the airport for her return to London.

"Be careful and take good care of yourself." Said Calvino while rubbing the top of Lenata's head gently.

"Come in!" He asked Lenata to immediately get into the jet that had been waiting for her. Unfortunately, Lenata didn't budge, so she stood still.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Come in!" Calvino's tone was cold as the gaze he gave her.

Sad? Of course!

The brown beads had never showered her with such a cold gaze so far.

"Lena, didn't you hear what I said? Come in!" Calvino was furious.

Lenata looked down by squeezing her fingers. Couldn't bear to be pampered with sadness covering a beautiful face has forced Calvino to embrace her slender body in a hug.

He kissed the top of Lenata's head tenderly. "Come in! Take good care of yourself." He whispered while still hugging tightly as if this was the last hug he was giving Lenata.

"Will we still be able to send messages and call each other after this?"

The question Lenata had just asked had made the hug break. Calvino glanced at the clock on his wrist.

"I have a meeting with Mr. Emran in a moment. I don't have much time. I have to go soon." At the same time, he turned to go to his favorite car.

However, before he stepped, he was stopped by a warm feeling wrapped around his stocky back. Lenata hugged him very possessively.

"I will definitely miss you very much."

"Hhmm," was the only grunt that accompanied the movement of Calvino's firm lips before releasing the slender arms that wrapped around his waist possessively.

Even though Calvino couldn't bear to see a beautiful woman willing to accompany him for years, Lenata's arrogance, who had deliberately humiliated the Kafeel family, couldn't be taken for granted.

The decisive step was getting wider towards his favorite car. Without turning his face to Lenata first, he immediately hid himself inside the car. A second later, the new car was driving at high speed.

Meanwhile, Lenata still locked her gaze in the same direction even though Calvino's car was no longer visible. She was long enough in that position. Somehow, a baritone voice had brought her back to her senses.

"Please come in, Ms. Lenata. Sorry, we can't wait any longer, and this is all according to Mr. Calvin's orders."

There wasn't a single word at all that accompanied Lenata's lips. Her steps seemed unsteady towards the fuselage. Sadness still covered her face.

There was no passion other than the blank stare she threw at the window. And without holding back, the tears faithfully flowed down on her smooth white cheeks.

Then, how would Lenata live her life after this? What was clear was that she didn't want to live again without the billionaire's presence by her side.
