Two days passed, during which Waylen immersed himself in his work at the law office, celebrating a triumphant victory in an international case.

He was at the peak of his professional career.

Jazlyn knocked on his office door and entered.

She approached him and discreetly handed him an envelope, explaining,

“Miss Gordon visited yesterday and requested that I give this to you."

Waylen accepted the envelope and extracted a key from its contents.

It was the key to his own apartment.

As he silently examined the key, he inquired, “Did you happen to visit there? Were Rena's belongings, the clothes and jewelry, taken by her?

If not, kindly arrange for their return to her. I have no use for those things anyway."

Jazlyn's expression turned stiff, catching Waylen's attention. He raised his gaze to meet hers and asked, “What's the matter?”

Jazlyn responded enigmatically, "You'll discover it when you return home tonight. Nonetheless, Miss Gordon has indeed moved out."

Although an uneasy feeling gnawed at Waylen, he dismissed it without giving it much thought.

He continued working until ten o'clock in the evening before finally heading home.

However, upon contemplating the dimness and emptiness of his apartment, he felt an unwelcome hesitation before ascending the stairs. No Longer would anyone eagerly await his arrival or prepare a meal for him in the place he once called his sanctuary.

As he sat in his car, he lit a cigarette, momentarily delaying his ascent.

Eventually, Waylen summoned the courage to enter his apartment and switched on the lights. As he surveyed his surroundings, an indescribable sensation coursed through him, causing his scalp to tingle and his pores to inexplicably dilate.

He had grown accustomed to the apartment's adornments, which were meticulously arranged by Rena.

However, now everything had returned to its previous state.

The apartment resembled a showroom, impeccably cold and perfectly aligned with Waylen's aesthetic preferences but devoid of any human touch.

Waylen tossed his coat aside and embarked on a quest to find traces of Rena's presence.

He scoured the bedroom, the kitchen, the living room and even the bathroom.

Yet, no item belonged to Rena, and none that had been touched by her was left behind. She had taken everything that was once here with her.
