I get out of bed, stifling the urge to throw the sheet over my head and go
back to sleep. I know that I’m not a morning person, so when it comes to
waking up early, I try to rip off the band-aid quickly, or else I’ll spend half
my morning in bed.
The oh-so-pleasant chime of my alarm keeps playing until I am standing.
It’s a setting my secretary put in when she was overseeing the customization
of my smart home. It irritates me every morning, but it also gets the job
done.
Once I am out of bed, I freshen up in the bathroom before going out for a
jog. I don’t bother with music or anything; I appreciate the silence.
As I jog, I feel my heartbeat and breathing accelerate, and my watch beeps,
noting the change. I continue to run, slowly increasing my pace as I take the
familiar turns and bends of my estate. I keep my face impassive despite
being aware of my surroundings. I see the maids and gardeners going about
their business, but I don’t bother to acknowledge any of them.
Not like they expect me to anyway.
Being the CEO of one of the biggest oil companies in the United States, I’ve
learned earlier that familiarity breeds contempt, and because of that, I’ve
kept my interactions with the staff to a minimum. It’s not that I don’t
appreciate their hard work; it’s just easier this way. The less they know
about me, the better.
I used to enjoy the solitude that I’ve wrapped around myself like an armor
but these days I find myself craving for something I can’t even
conceptualize. I enjoy success in my work so much that it seems like I am
infallible, but lately, it just doesn’t satisfy me.
It feels like a complaint that would get me stoned if I ever dared to voice it,
because many would kill for the life I have. But even now, I can feel
loneliness creeping in, growing thicker like a suffocating fog. I carefully
crafted a routine for myself – and that routine has turned into a prison.
Something has to change, I think to myself, and the thought sticks with me.
I refuse to die alone in this ridiculous mansion, surrounded by employees
that barely know me. That would certainly make headlines; I can imagine
the media frenzy. Even when I stay away, the tabloids find a way to concoct
increasingly wild stories about me. Luckily, I have a law firm on retainer.
Thinking about those tabloids makes me feel even worse, so I try my best to
clear those thoughts out of my head and finish my run. Once I get home and
freshen up, I go down to the dining area to find my meal has been prepared
and served.
As I sit down to eat on the long table with rows of empty chairs, I feel a
familiar hollowness crawling up my chest threatening to swallow me up.
