I felt used and mocked by two of the most important people in my life. I was so foolish!

I thought I was going to marry Bastian, I thought my little sister loved me, but it was all just in my imagination. I was a complete naive and felt frustrated and disgusted with myself.

And then, this whole story about Sophie not being my sister... Is it true?

I walked into the first bar I found. I hardly ever drink alcohol, but this time, I really wanted to drink and forget everything.

I headed to an empty seat next to a man who was quite handsome but with a dark and sad look. I think we both had a bad day.

"A double whiskey, please."

"Right away, miss."

I started silently crying while drinking without restraint, then I noticed the look from this man. It didn't bother me, and I kept drinking all the alcohol I could.

"I don't know what happened to you, miss, but I think you've had enough to drink."

"It's none of your business, idiot," I replied, ignoring the man's words.

I was lost in my thoughts, regretting being so blind.

Now, I would undoubtedly be a different girl. Apparently, men like women who are more decisive and outgoing, not as boring as me.

I sighed, picking up my glass of spirits.

Some handsome boys approached me, and one of them pulled me towards him. I was already quite drunk, so it didn't bother me.

"Are you alone, darling? Tell me you want to have fun with us."

"Yes, let 's go."

Suddenly, this man stood up.

"She's with me, you'd better leave if you don't want any trouble.”

His gaze was intimidating at that moment; strangely, those men feared him and left.

"What cowards," I mocked.

"Give me your address, I'll call someone to take you home."

"I don't want to, I'm going to have fun tonight like never before. I'm going to another place where the atmosphere is better."

He grabbed my arm to hold me back.

"Don't be foolish, something bad could happen to you, and you'll regret it."

"You're a very handsome guy, do you want to spend the night with me?"

I laughed at his reaction. Isn't that what men want?

He was surprised by my words but managed to smile and asked me.

"Are you this easy with all men?"

"No, but today is different."

"Why do you want to spend the night with me?" he asked, curious.

Suddenly, I started crying like a little girl. I explained to him how unhappy I was and how disappointed I was by the man I loved.

"I just want to get back at him, if he can be with another woman, I can be with another."

"Poor girl, this isn't a game."

"I'm not a girl, I'm a woman, and I can prove it to you."

I approached him, wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him. What was surprising is that he kissed me back, and then we engaged in a passionate kiss...

"Are you sure you want to spend the night with me?" he asked me again, almost out of breath.

"Yes, let's go to a room."

"Once we're upstairs, there's no turning back. I don't really think you want to be with me."

"Tell me, am I not beautiful? That's why you don't want to be with me. She's right, maybe I don't attract any man."

"Nonsense, you're very beautiful, your skin is soft and fair, your eyes fascinate me, and that blonde hair I want to touch, I just want you not to regret this night."

"I won't," I said confidently.

We arrived in the room, he threw me onto the bed and got on top of me, he started kissing me and caressing my body.

Gradually, our clothes fell to the floor, my breathing was very heavy, and I felt his warmth running through my entire body. Every touch from him made every part of my body tingle.

It was a very passionate night, but he was very gentle upon realizing it was my first time. Strangely, I felt desired and loved by this man.

***

I gradually woke up, feeling the sunlight on my face.

I had a terrible headache and my whole body was sore. I was so dizzy that I hadn't realized I was in the luxurious hotel room.

I began to remember what had happened the night before.

"Damn Bastian! I loved you so much. Why did you cheat on me with my own sister?"

Then I realized where I was.

"Wait, where am I? This isn't my home. It can't be."

The images in my mind were present; I had spent the night with a complete stranger.

"I guess I shouldn't have drunk so much alcohol. How did I become so bold last night?"

I felt my face flushing with shame.

I looked around, and that man was no longer there. He was undoubtedly a very attractive man, tall, with porcelain-like fair skin, black hair, and impressive green eyes.

Certainly much more handsome than Bastian...

"I better get dressed and go home, I can't stay here, I don't even know if I could look this man in the eyes sober," I thought in a confused manner.

I was lucky, my parents had gone on a trip that weekend to visit my paternal grandmother, so they couldn't scold me for not coming home last night, they're very protective of us.

I checked the whole house, and Sophie wasn't there, so maybe she was with Bastian.

Just thinking about it made my stomach ache.

I took a bath, had breakfast, and went back to bed. I was feeling really bad, Sophie even showed up on Sunday just before my parents came home.

"Sister, tell me, haven't mom and dad come back yet?"

I didn't answer her, I was very angry with her, so I ignored her and went to my room.

"You're very angry with me."

"What do you want, Sophie? You and Javier took me for a fool. Did you really think I was going to welcome you with open arms?"

A mocking smile appeared on Sophie's face.

"You really thought you could become his wife? You're really stupid, someone like Bastian deserves a woman worthy of him."

"What are you talking about?"

"He's from the Martin family, he needs a beautiful and elegant woman who won't embarrass him in society."

"That's absurd, I'm just as beautiful and very intelligent, our parents raised us the same way, I'm at his level too."

"Don't delude yourself, look at me, I'm a very beautiful woman, much more than you, he loves me and you have to accept that you lost to me."

"Keep him, Sophie. I don't want that kind of man in my life."

I turned around and left crying to my room.

I can't believe I wasted two years of my life with such a despicable and petty man.
