Selfish bastards

I had more than enough time to jump out of the way and save myself but it wasn’t important, what was the essence of saving myself when my life was literally over?

I stayed rooted to the spot, waiting for the car to crush my weak legs. My eyes were wide open while Cora was too dull to push me into doing anything.

The car came to a halt just a few inches away and I growled, furious that it wasn’t going to smash me. Someone bolted out of the car.

“Are you okay? What the hell was that!” I heard a masculine and thick tone and I began sobbing afresh.

Men are evil creatures, they don’t deserve to be alive. Men are scum, they deserve nothing but the worst things in life.

“Are you okay?” His voice softened and I fell down, reality dawning on me that tomorrow I’ll wake up as Dave’s ex, the lady he cheated on, the one he didn’t care about and the omega of the pack, people would rub it in my face that I was his toy.

“Are you okay?” The voice was oddly family and I rushed my head, everything stopping for a moment as I locked gaze with a pair of dark eyes.

I was drawn in instantly as the darkness glistened and seemed to be sucking in my soul. I felt warmth for a moment and for a minute, I saw life in another dimension of life.

“Are you okay?” I snapped my head and took notice of his whole body and face. He was Dave’s uncle! The stinking rich bastard whom Dave hated a lot.

“Scum” I snarled under my breath, knowing they had the same blood and were literally the same people. I forced myself up and hissed, staring at him with fury.

“I asked you a question, are you okay?” He grabbed my arm and his firm grip made something awaken inside Cora but it disappeared even before I could fathom what it was.

“Why do you care! What!” I thundered fiercely and he was taken aback! I know his type, all they do is pretend to care and make girls fall in love with them then break their hearts in the most brutal way.

“Are you okay?” His question became annoying and all my sadness turned into anger, I channeled all my anger at him. If I can’t do anything to Dave, insulting him would be much better, same blood and behavior after all.

“Do I look okay? Get your hands off me! Is this how you go around acting nice and helping girls with broken hearts!” I snapped and much to my surprise I heard a chuckle.

“No, it’s not everyday a lady tries to kill herself… Most girls use drastic methods to get my attention but none has been desperate enough to use death” He replied and I scoffed, seizing him up and noticing his egoistic aura before any other thing.

“You wish” I retorted and was about to walk out when his words stopped me.

“Aren’t you Dave’s girlfriend? Why are you outside at this time of the day?” He demanded and I gawked.

“And so what if I was his girlfriend? Why do you care! Aren’t you all the same! Bunch of hypocrites and heart wreckers!” I retorted as I broke into tears, my wound opening afresh at the mention of Dave’s name.

“Wanna talk about it over alcohol?” He suggested and only the goddess knows what prompted me to nod my head.

He stretched his hand but I didn’t take it, he was still the same with Dave and I know he was being nice probably to spite Dave later or use it against him.

I got into the back seat of his car and continued sobbing throughout the journey. He kept glancing at me like he had never seen a lady cry before.

“What?” I barked, he was staring too much and it made me uncomfortable.

“I’ve never seen a grown woman cry this much because of a guy” He replied and I scoffed.

“Well you have now! Happy?” I retorted and he shook his head.

We got to the most expensive bar in the pack and my mouth dropped. This bar was meant for those who could spend millions without bulging because I heard the cheapest drink was more than half a million.

We stepped inside and a waiter jumped to our side immediately and I saw people stare at Dave’s uncle with respect but the shocking thing was that people were staring at me too.

Ladies had envious glances and a few were slowly killing me with their eyes, their jealousy was evidence and I wondered if having alcohol was something to be jealous about.

I hope they experience the same thing I experienced today. “Wow… Is she his girlfriend…”

“He has never brought any lady here before, she must be special…” I could hear whispers and this made me stare at him with shock. He knew I was his nephew’s girlfriend and he was bringing me here for no reason?

I began to think things through, wondering what had prompted me into asking and why he asked in the first place. Yes I was sad and devastated but he could’ve offered to drop me home or anything.

“Let’s go” He muttered as he strutted inside and I bowed my head, trying to avoid the deadly glares. We got to a private room and while I was still admiring the room, several bottles of wine were brought in which made me gasp.

“You needed alcohol, I don’t know the type you take so I got everything I can think of” He muttered making me furrow my brows because I remembered I’ve never taken alcohol before and I went calm instantly, fondling my fingers as I wondered how I’d get myself out of this mess.

“What? You don’t like them? What do you want exactly?” He asked and I scratched my neck slightly.

“I… I… I don’t drink…” I stuttered.

“For a feisty person like you, that’s a shocker. You should have this then, take it slowly, it’s sweet so don’t think it’s juice okay” He warned and I nodded, accepting it shyly.

I took a sip and it went straight into my bloodstream, round my body and finally settled in my brain, sending cool energy down my body.

It tasted great and it lifted my spirits drastically, I must be missing out a lot. “You do know too much is bad right?” He suggested and I scoffed because the alcohol was touching the right spot.

I began to think about Dave and our years together, life didn’t seem so bad anymore and I felt I’d be great to live without him and focus on myself.

I’d do everything for myself now and damn all the consequences, I wouldn’t give a fuck about him or anyone anymore, I would be selfish.

“You shouldn’t take…”

“Just zip it! I know you’re doing this to spite your nephew but I don’t care. Don’t pretend like you care about me when I know you guys are just a bunch of selfish, evil and cheating bastards” I snarled angrily and he chuckled, watching me with an amused smile as I vented out my anger.
