The Legendary Jay C. Connor

Chapter 4: First task.

I stared at the screen and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

I know I want Linda to disappear, but I can't kill anyone.

How can I kill Linda?

I might hate her, but was I capable of killing anyone?

I pressed on hints.

(System notification)

(Reward split in half)

(Hint: Get rid of items that reminds you of Linda)

I exhaled sharply.

I knew I had to get rid of items reminding me of Linda and her kids, but I didn't know I had to do it this soon.

I left the hospital to go back to the apartment building.

So David tried to kill me?

I don't even have any evidence about it and it will be best if he thinks I died.

I had a lot of good memories in the apartment. Right now I have a hollow feeling in my heart when I stare at everything in the apartment.

The kitchen where I prepared meals for my family and ate happily with them now feels like it was the saddest place here. I can't believe I endured the insults of Mr Dash , telling me I wasn't doing a good job of feeding his family properly.

I don't know how I could be this old and still be naive and stupid ,I let someone take advantage of me to the point of letting me raise kids that were this ungrateful, when I just tried to help.

I exhaled sharply and decided to get to work.

The faster I get their things out of the apartment, I can get back to my life.

I headed to the room I shared with Linda, I opened the closet, she left most of her clothes here but she took her documents. I guess she won't be needing these cheap clothes I bought for her anymore, because her husband would buy her better ones.

I noticed the box inside the closet and when I opened it it was all the gifts that have gotten her over the years we have been together.

I just shook my head, she isn't worth my love.

Since they left all this behind ,it was easier for me to know that this was what they didn't want and it was many things that I bought for them.

Bit by bit, I took all the items that were left in the closet. I decided to also clean out the rooms of the boys and her parents, so that I won't have to go through this heartache a second time.

It took me a while, but I put all those items in boxes.

I nearly broke down crying ,when I had to take down the pictures hung on the wall, suddenly it dawned on me that they were gone and I could not do anything about it.

Everything in this house reminded me of Linda and her family. I thought I was part of her life and family ,but she deceived me for 10 years.

I used to think that it was Linda's parents that was the reason why we haven't gotten married ,but no I was sure now, she didn't want to marry me because she was waiting for her ex-husband to come and get her,she just needed me to fill the gap of a father for her son's until her ex-husband came for them.

What a selfish and evil woman.

After getting all their stuff into boxes and trash bags I thought for a while if I should throw it out, but then I remembered that I was just recently fired.

 I needed money, so I listed those items and clothes of good value for sale online and tossed the rest into the garbage where it belongs.

I noticed that when I was throwing their things into the garbage my neighbors were staring weirdly at me.

I decided not to approach them, when I walked by my neighbors talking I overheard a conversation.

"Didn't you see that Linda's ex husband came and took her away, he is filthy rich and a lawyer, I think Jay can't dream of having a girl like her." One said.

"Oh I pity him, I heard from Linda that she got married to her sons father and is living with her husband now, so I wonder if he is feeling angry that he had been taking care of another man's kids for all these years?" The second lady asked and I turned to glare at her and they looked away.

Acting as if they weren't just talking about me.

I sighed and stormed off into my apartment and slammed the door shut.

So Linda was now telling her neighbors that she's living with her husband now, she must be bragging , but she doesn't care how I would feel still being here.

Seriously I don't know what I did to that woman and her husband, because when my boss fired me he told me it was because of David.

I think he wants to ruin any opportunity I have, so that I will just be crawling in the mud of poverty,I think he is scared that if I get stable, I will start thinking about how to attack him for what he has done to me.

Afterall only a man that has time to think,would be thinking of revenge.

I will just be thinking about how to get money, offending rich people is not in my agenda.

I know I can't stay in this house alone and the rent was expiring this month, Linda told me to wait before we could renew it, she knew what she was doing.

I was screwed.

I was heartbroken betrayed and I am in debt for taking care of Linda and her family, when I thought they were my family.

I was still thinking about what I was going to do from here ,when I heard a knock on my door.

I opened the door to see my male neighbor.

He said he has something important to talk about.

He walked in and we sat down.

"Did you and Linda break up?" He inquired from me.

"Why you asking me that?" I asked.

"No offense man, but she's been taking my wife to shopping trips then coming back with expensive clothes, that cost up to $10,000 for a dress ,so I wanted to know if she is doing something illegal to get the money?" He asked.

I scoffed.

So Linda left me crawling in the mud of debt and she has been shopping with our neighbors.

I shook my head.

"I don't know, we are not together anymore." I replied.

"So it's true, she went back to her rich ex husband and got married again." He mumbled.

"Well I guess you can't blame her ,she was looking for greener pastures." He said and I glared at her.

"What did you say?" I asked him angrily.
