Chapter 2.

Krystie hurriedly ran down the stairs, trying her best to cover her exposed cleavage with her tattered dress. She was feeling embarrassed. She didn't want to think of what had happened last night and how she had ended up on a stranger's bed, which had resulted in her losing her virginity.

But she didn't regret it. At least she had given her first time to a stranger than that jerk who had betrayed her. He had cheated on her with her, best friend, Cassandra!

Flashback

Krystie was super excited to go and visit her fiancee. It had been a long time since she had seen him. She was always so busy with several shifts at work that she hadn't gotten any time to hang out with him. She had pilled several shifts and overworked herself to create the time.

A full week! That was so much for them!

She wanted to surprise him, but who knew that she would be the one to be surprised instead?

Krystie pulled Alex's spare key card from her handbag, but then she found the door was not locked. Gently, she pushed it open carefully avoiding making any sound. She didn't want to spoil the surprise. There was an unfamiliar scent in the room, one that she was not used to in his house, but it was quite familiar to her.

Krystie walked in excitedly, but there was no one in the living room. She took silent steps upstairs to the bedroom, very eager to see his reaction.

Proceeding on without knocking, Krystie opened the door gently, making sure she was not heard.

"Surprise!"

Krystie had spoken as she walked into the room but the sight before her was more surprising to her than how she had planned her's.

On the bed, there were two people, naked. Her best friend, Cassandra, was on top of Alex, riding him!

Immediately they stopped in action and stared at her with shocked faces. Obviously, they had not expected to see her here, not at such a time.

"Krystie, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be at work? Didn't you say that you were held up for the day and that you won't be home until late at night!" Cassandra spoke in one go as sweat trickled down her face, embarrassed to have been found out.

It then occurred to Krystie that, of late, Cassandra had been asking about her whereabouts daily. She had not given much thought to it, but thinking about it at the moment, everything made sense to her.

Krystie was not sure whether she was supposed to laugh or cry hearing her best friend ask her such a stupid question, wasn't she the one who was supposed to ask her what she was doing in her fiancee's house? Worst of all, why was she sleeping with him when they were already engaged? Even their wedding date had already been announced. In three months!

"Baby, please listen to me. It's not what you think it is. Please let me explain!" Alex had muttered, sweat trickling on his forehead. He pushed Cassandra aside and jumped before Krystie.

Krystie had felt so disgusted when Alex ran to her side and hugged her forcefully. The smell of sex filled the air, making her more disgusted with him. Krystie chuckled at herself. Clearly, Alex was a fool thinking that she was going to listen to his stupid excuses even after what she had just witnessed.

Krystie had immediately pushed Alex away. She was feeling hurt, she had loved him so much for many years. Even after her twin sister had warned her about Alex, she hadn't heeded her at all, but she had gone ahead blindly and got engaged with him.

"Alex, let's break! I no longer want to be with you!"

Breaking up with him, it didn't sit well with him, and Alex had not given up on Krystie yet. Just as she turned around to leave the room, Alex grabbed her hand, holding her back. In a spur of a moment, Krystie had turned around, not even an emotion on her face. She had maintained a straight face as she lifted her palm and landed a hot slap across his face. Without any more words, she turned around and left, running down the stairs.

"Krystie, I..."

Alex had half yelled as he tried to follow Krystie but Cassandra was fast enough to hold him back.

"Let her be. She will calm down and come back to you," Cassandra assured him as she sat at the edge of the bed, a wicked smile crossed her face, not even remorse in her eyes.

Alex was left behind, standing watching her disappearing silhouette. He had mixed emotions after he had been found out. He was not sure whether to follow her or not.

"You told me she would not find out! You lied to me!" Alex barked at Cassandra who was dressing up.

"How was I supposed to know that she was coming over today? She didn't tell me about it. And why are you blaming me for it? Shouldn't you blame yourself instead for betraying your lover," Cassandra interjected scornfully.

Without a thought, Alex slapped her across the face, making her stumble to the ground, his face red in anger. "Get out of my house right now. I never want to see you again."

Cassandra was taken aback by his outburst, that was not part of the plan. Alex had promised to marry her after breaking up with Krystie. Why then did he act violently after Krystie had broken up with him?

"Alex... I'm sorry..."

"I said get out!" Cassandra hurriedly picked up her purse and ran out of the house, her cheeks swollen from the slap.

Krystie had run down the stairs to her parked car. She had initially put a strong face before Alex because she didn't want to show him how hurt she was when she faced his betrayal. Immediately she exited his door, tears streamed down her cheeks. She ignited the engine and sped off home, all the while tears flowing down her eyes unrestrained.

Chloe sat on the sofa of the living room, watching television, when Krystie ran to her and hugged her. Chloe patted her back, consoling her after Krystie had recounted the ordeal.

'Maybe I should teach that douchebag a lesson for you,' Chloe thought with a bitter smile.

They cried together until they both fell asleep next to each other, with tear-stained faces. Seeing her sister crying for the man who had betrayed her broke Chloe's heart. She would make him pay!
