Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

As they continued chatting, they inadvertently left Collen on the sidelines.
Upon arriving at the apartment, Sabrina’s thoughts finally wandered to Collen’s presence.
The trio had inspected three apartments in total, all conveniently not far from the studio where Sabrina worked. Sabrina
eventually settled on one.
The apartment boasted a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Sabrina was particularly pleased with the spacious
balcony.
The furnishings, which consisted of tables, chairs, a sofa, air conditioning, a washing machine, and more, were all in place and
fully equipped. While the rent was slightly higher, Collen managed to negotiate a lower price with the landlord.
Sabrina made it official and signed a contract with the landlord, paying an advance on the rent for three months.
Collen drove Sabrina and Bella straight to the shopping mall for daily necessities. Laden with shopping bags, the car was almost
bursting upon their return.
When they were back at Sabrina’s apartment, the trio unloaded the car and collectively stocked the purchased items into the
apartment, making it less empty and more homely.
Sabrina, expressing gratitude, invited them for afternoon tea.
Once Bella and Collen departed, Sabrina threw the newly bought sheets into the washing machine. The newly acquired quilts
were set aside to bask in the sunlight. Then, she neatly organized the necessities and cooking tools.

The following day, Sabrina checked out and officially moved into her new apartment. She meticulously arranged the space
according to her preferences and stocked up on essentials like noodles, seasoning, vegetables, fruit, and milk.
Finally, she settled down.
After finishing her work, Sabrina sprawled on the sofa, allowing herself a moment of relaxation.
In the past few days in Philade, every moment had been occupied with activity, leaving her with a full and bustling life devoid of
any spare moments for thinking of anything else.
Even if a thought about Tyrone crossed her mind, she would quickly dismiss it.
It proved she could live well without Tyrone.
If she had realized it earlier, she might not have put herself through so much suffering.
In the evening, Sabrina selected a formal dress and adorned herself with delicate makeup. She then got into a car that took her
to Bella’s house.
Knowing that Sabrina didn’t own a car, Bella had thoughtfully arranged for someone to pick Sabrina up.
Bella’s family resided in Rockefeller Manor in the suburbs.
Having been to Dracwynne and visited the mansions of the wealthy before, Sabrina was familiar with opulent décor. The
mansion she once visited was decorated magnificently with beautiful carvings and furnishings, but nobody inhabited the place. It
had become a scenic spot, even accompanied by guided tours for visitors.

Thus, this marked Sabrina’s first experience seeing a private manor.
As the car journeyed to the suburbs, the driver perked up and enthusiastically pointed at the looming stone wall in the distance.
“That’s Rockefeller Manor, one of the largest manors in Philade.”
