If I Never Loved You - Chapter 36 Chapter 36

“Anne? Anne? You get out here! I know you’re in there! “Antoniou now turned around to look at Stacey. He had been so preoccupied with looking for Anne that he hadn’t even given her a moment’s glance.

Stacey felt very insignificant at the moment, but she covered it up by saying, “Don’t worry Antonio, my sister has not returned to this house but I’m sure she is fine”

“What! She is not here, then where could she possibly be?”

Antonio tried to think but realized he couldn’t think of any other place, he really knew nothing about this woman he had been living with for three whole years.

“Call me when your sister returns” he told her as he hurried out of the building.

He didn’t not notice the resentment and despise that was written all over Stacey’s face.

…

Antonio had been busy all day. He returned home to meet a still empty house. A trace of her scent was still evident but the person herself had totally disappeared. Not feeling like staying inside alone, he stepped out to get a drink.

‘The night’ was crowded as usual. Antonio got himself a seat and immediately ordered a drink. He drank glass after glass of alcohol until he was totally wasted. A group of people sitting at a table whispered among themselves, this was the first time they had seen Antonio like this.

Terry, Micky and Sedem joined him at the table. One of them whispered, “He’s like this because of a woman, I heard Anne left him”

Antonio drunkenly shouted “who told you that? I’m drinking because I’m happy. I’m happy that despicable woman has finally left my life. I have been trying to get rid of her for several years now, and finally she is gone. I am extremely overjoyed.”

“Are you sure about that?” Terry asked

“No regrets?”

“Absolutely no regrets!” Antonio answered back

“Let’s drink to that, Cheers!”@@
