Chapter 23; I don’t expect love from you

Romeo took Trina to their room once again.

As soon as they entered the room, Romeo turned to Trina and demanded, "Why are you telling lies about our honeymoon?"

Trina looked taken aback by his directness. "I...I just didn't want to tell them the truth," she stammered.

Romeo's eyes flashed with anger. "What truth? That our marriage is a sham? That we're only together because of my mother's manipulations?"

Trina looked down, her face flushing with embarrassment. "Romeo, please..."

" I can't believe that you are making the world think that I am really in love with you. Anyway, You know. That will never happen." Romeo snarled.

Trina's face went white, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut.

Romeo shrugged. "I'm just being honest. You deserve to know the truth about our marriage."

Trina's eyes filled with tears, and she turned away from Romeo not to show her tears.

" Of course I don't expect love from you. I am doing this for my mother." Trina answered, her voice cracking.

" Your Mom, That's great then, I will make sure that she heals and once she is concious I will divorce whether her my Mom wants or not." Romeo spoke.

" Alright then ! We shall do that." Trina finally turned to face him with tears in her face.

That's when Romeo realized that he was going to far.

She dried her tears with her fingers and said. " It's just been hours of our marriage, But it already feels like years in hell. I don't know how I will go through this.." Trina sat on the bed and burst into tears that she had been trying to hold.

Romeo thought of sitting besides and comfort her but his brain refused.

" I want to be alone.." Trina begged.

Canary now realized how much he had hurt her.

' Did I push her too much ? But I can't lie that I love her when I dont. It's better for both of us,'

He walked out of the room give her space.

Romeo entered the room, expecting to see Trina sitting on the bed or pacing back and forth. But to his surprise, the room was empty.

He looked around, thinking that maybe Trina had just stepped out for a moment.

But then he saw that her bags were gone, and a piece of paper was left on the bedside table.

Romeo's heart sank as he walked over to the table and picked up the paper. It was a note from Trina.

"I've gone home," the note read. "I'll see you at the Walter's mansion after our three-day honeymoon is over. "

Romeo felt a mix of emotions: relief, guilt, and frustration. He realized that he had pushed Trina too far, and now she was gone.

Romeo smirked after reading the note. At least in her absence she wouldn't feel guilty.

He decided to put his worries about Trina aside and focus on enjoying the rest of his honeymoon.

He spent the next two days indulging in all the luxuries the hotel had to offer.

He started his days with a rigorous sports session, playing tennis and basketball with some of the other hotel guests. After working up a sweat, he would cool off with a refreshing swim in the hotel pool.

In the evenings, Romeo would head to the hotel bar, where he would meet up with some of the other guests and enjoy a few drinks. He even managed to convince some of the hotel staff to join him for a game of pool or two.

As the days passed, Romeo found himself feeling more and more carefree. He was determined to make the most of his honeymoon, even if Trina wasn't there to share it with him.

But as the second day drew to a close, Romeo couldn't shake the feeling that he was just avoiding his problems. He knew that he would have to face Trina eventually, and he wasn't sure if he was ready.

Trina arrived at her mother's friend's house, feeling a mix of emotions. She was relieved to be away from Romeo and the drama of their honeymoon, but she was also anxious about what the future held.

Her mother's friend, Aunt Clara, answered the door and was surprised to see Trina standing there with her bags. "Trina, what are you doing here?" Aunt Clara asked, looking concerned. "You're supposed to be on your honeymoon."

Trina sighed and walked into the house, feeling a lump form in her throat. "It didn't work out," she said, trying to hold back tears.

Aunt Clara's expression softened, and she put a comforting arm around Trina's shoulders. "Come on, dear, tell me what happened."

Trina took a deep breath and began to explain the events of the past few days, from Romeo's infidelity to his cruel words. Aunt Clara listened attentively, her expression growing more and more outraged.

When Trina finished talking, Aunt Clara pulled her into a warm hug. "You deserve so much better than that, Trina," she said. "You're strong and beautiful, and you don't need someone like Romeo to make you happy."

Trina felt a surge of gratitude towards Aunt Clara, who had always been like a second mother to her. She knew that she could count on Aunt Clara to support her, no matter what.

Trina was happy for the three days she spent with Clara. She completely forgot about Romeo's cruelness and enjoyed Clara's company.

It was on the evening of the third day when she had to go back to the Walter's mansion.
