Chapter 9 I sat in the waiting lounge , holding a wooden box in my arms .
It contained my mothers ashes .
Going home to visit her grave was true , but it also meant moving her tomb .

I had received an offer from a foreign pharmaceutical company and was preparing to leave for work .
I didnt want to leave my mother in that filthy place anymore .
As for the old house , I had sold it at a low price .
A lively jazz tune rang , Homers exclusive ringtone .
Where are you ? Homers voice was as irritable as ever , tinged with a hint of anxiety .
1/7 Chapter 9 + 5 Points Did you get the package ? Before I left , I had sent the ring Homer gave me back to him through a local courier .
Judging by the time , he should have received it by now .
Whats the meaning of this , Wynette ? Are you trying to piss me off ? Im giving you 30 minutes .
If youre not here by then , dont bother graduating .
I wont go .
Homer , you ruined my hand back then and destroyed my future .
Why would I stay by your side ? Today , I wasnt wearing a wrist brace , and the scar on my wrist was clearly visible .
It was from the time Homer slashed my wrist with a knife when he found out I wanted to apply to medical school .
He said it was the price I had to pay for disobedience , that I 2/7 Chapter 9 + 5 Points could only stay by his side .
I wanted to call the police , but I was threatened .
At the time , I really wanted to end it all with him , but I promised my mother I would live a good life , so with a teachers help , I managed to escape .
How could I ever fall for such a scum ? I never liked you , I said , each word deliberate .
Homer roared , Impossible .
I have money , power , and Ive been so good to you .
How could you not like me ? You even went with me to try on wedding dresses .
I laughed , Homer , when you treated me like a toy , when you made me beg for death yet couldnt die , did you ever think that one day you would fall in love with me ? No.
With someone like you , to talk about love is an 3/7 Chapter 9 + 5 Points insult to the word itself .
How come Isana didnt kill you ? Do you know how much I wished for your death ? Surprisingly , Homer wasnt angry .
Instead , he begged me .
I was wrong , okay ? I noticed you in high school .
I just went about it the wrong way .
You see , even if we cant have kids , I dont mind .
I just want you .
His words came so easily , so casually , that they made me sick .
I cant have kids because of you , right ? If you hadnt made me have an ectopic pregnancy , I wouldnt have had to have fallopian tubes removed .
my Homer fell silent .
After a long pause , he smiled and threatened , Wynette , do you 4/7 Chapter 9 + 5 Points think you can really get rid of me ? Do you think I didnt know where you went to college back then ? Of course , I knew .
I hadnt really escaped from him back then .
I also knew that if he wanted to , he could find me in a heartbeat .
Thats why Ive worked hard for four years and landed an offer from a foreign pharmaceutical company ! You dare … Ignoring Homers shouting , I threw away the SIM card and strode toward the boarding gate , ready to embrace my new future .
The End .
