Invited For Revenge

Raina Cole

“Uhhh yessss!! Fuck this pussy” I cried out as Mr. Stranger rammed his thick cock in and out of me

His left hand was on my left boob, caressing my rock-solid nipples while his right hand was rubbing on my swollen clit

He was about to grab his cock and withdraw out of me, but I found myself grabbing his hips. “In me. Come in me, please.”

“Miss Cole?”

“Miss Cole.” Someone touched my shoulder and I jerked, my eyes flinging open

Oh fuck.

I looked at the investors, looking right at me with questionable expressions.

My assistant, Darcy, leaned in from behind me, “Are you alright? Should I cancel and reschedule?”

Of all places to have a fucking daydream, it had to be in the middle of a meeting.

I cleared my throat, forcing composure into my voice. “I’m fine. Gentlemen, my apologies. Darcy will finish the presentation. I’ll email updates later.”

Darcy helped me pack up my MacBook and iPad into my bag. I stood up, hoping that my dress didn’t have a wet patch behind and my knees wouldn’t wobble.

I gave the men on the board a firm smile and walked out of the conference room. I exhaled as soon as I was out of sight and walked faster to my office, picked up my car keys and headed to the parking lot

This was the first time that I had ever been distracted in a business meeting, and it was because of a man??

Three years of iron self-control, and one nameless man had me daydreaming like a teenager.

I needed to go home and cool off

I couldn’t even blame Katrina and Cassie. I blame myself for not immediately snapping out of whatever feeling of infatuation this was

My phone vibrating dragged me out of my thoughts.

It was my mom calling. A smile curved on my lips as I connected my AirPods, picking up and keeping my eyes on the road.

“Hi mom, how are you?” My voice bubbled

“Oh my princess, I’m doing okay. Except your father keeps making me raise my voice all the time.”

I chuckled, relaxing into my chair. I had gotten used to her always reporting my dad to me

“Enough about us, darling. How’s our little CEO doing? How’s work?” My mom asked

Work was fine. My sanity wasn’t. But I wasn’t about to tell her that.

“Everything‘s fine mom,” I responded simply, sparing her the details

“Raina,” my dad spoke this time, his time suddenly turning serious. “Your sister is getting married.”

My smile froze on my face. I hadn’t heard her name in a while, I wasn’t sure how I felt about hearing her name even though I had forgiven her.

“That’s wonderful,” I said, trying to disregard my feelings and be genuinely happy for her.

“She’s getting married to Shawn.” My mom dropped the bomb quickly

I instantly slammed on the breaks.

She was getting married to my ex?

Of all the men in the world, it had to be Shawn? Wasn’t it enough that she went behind my back to fuck him—on the day I was supposed to marry him?

“Raina?” Mom’s voice softened, nervous. “Sweetheart, are you still there?”

I forced a laugh. “Yeah. Just… surprised, that’s all.”

“Honey, are you okay?”

I inhaled before I spoke up. “Of course, dad. Why wouldn’t I be? I’m happy that she’s happy. I wish her a happy married life”

I resumed driving.

“We wanted you to hear from us before you saw it on the internet. The wedding procedures are starting next week. Will you come home and celebrate with the family?” My mom sounded like she was pleading rather than asking

“We know work keeps you busy,” my dad went on. “So, your mother and I set up a few dates—nice men, all professionals. You can pick who you like best.”

“We’d hate for people to….well, you know, assume you’re still…” his voice drifted off

Still single?

Still the woman who got left on the altar?

I was about to give them an excuse and save myself the torture but my phone binged. Someone texted me

Shawn?

I eagerly opened the message, expecting… I don’t even know what. Maybe an apology. Maybe closure.

Instead, it was a photo. He and my sister, smiling like they owned the world. Her hand on his chest. His arm around her waist.

For a second, I didn’t feel anything.

I read the text attached: Save the date: June 12. We’d love you there. It wouldn't feel the same without you. Hope there’s no bad blood

Hope there’s no bad blood??

After sleeping with my sister on our wedding day, he hoped there was no bad blood?

I couldn’t continue driving anymore, I pulled over.

The numbness cracked replaced by anger

My chest clenched so hard I thought I’d stop breathing. Three years later and he still knew how to aim for the soft spot.

Fuck him.

I wanted to scream, the anger finally finding its way out.

Fine. If he really wanted me at the wedding. I’ll be there. I wasn’t going there to make peace.

I was going there to make him look at what he lost

I was going there to make him choke on regret.

“Raina??” My mom called. “Are you there?”

“Yeah,” I whispered, trying not to seethe

“We understand how you might be feeling, but it’s your sister’s day, and it would mean the world to us if you could show up.”

They didn’t know what really happened that day.

I, the guests, the priest, all waited until I went looking for him.

And found him fucking their youngest daughter while our vows waited downstairs

Only Cassie and Katrina knew the truth.

I let them keep their version; their eldest daughter developed cold feet before her wedding and called it off

They never knew what it cost me to smile after that. But now I was going to show the world who Shawn was at his wedding.

“There’ll be no need to set up dates. I’ll attend and I’m bringing someone.”

There was a pause — then Mom gasped, thrilled. “Oh my God, Raina! You’re dating someone?”

I swallowed, too deep in to take it back now. “Yeah. I am.”

I heard some background noise before my mom spoke up. “Honey, we’re so happy for you and we can’t wait to see both of you. We’ll tell everyone you’re bringing your boyfriend. They’ll be so happy to see you’ve moved on! We have to go now, preparations for the wedding are ongoing and we have to oversee. We’ll talk later, okay? We love you”

“Love you too” I said back before she hung up

The last thing I wanted was to show up without a date and get sympathetic looks from everyone.

I looked around my car helplessly. I didn’t know any man I could bring. Hell, I barely talked to men outside of work.

Where was I going to find someone that would agree to go to the wedding and fake date me?

Or could I just step out and start talking to a man and hope he asks me out within three days?

As I was struggling with my thoughts, I caught the card, Mr. Stranger gave me out of the corner of my eye

I reached out and picked it up. It had just his number written on it.

If Ethan wanted to see me at that wedding, then he’d see me glowing. Smiling.

And standing next to a man who made him look like a joke.

So I dialed the number.
