11: How Dare Them?

Carla

I felt irritated throughout the rest of the shopping now that I was alone in the store. Perhaps it was because despite Zade not being here, he was still all that I was thinking about. I kept wishing that I had run into Sebastian now that I’m alone and not when I was with Zade, then we’d have actually been able to catch up.

I stared down at the black card he had given me before leaving then turned it around. His company name was printed boldly in the back and I shoved it into my pocket. I want to try running away with the money in this card, not because I’m a thief, but because that’s the only choice I have in my grasp. But I knew better than to fully go ahead with that thought because I just know it would backfire and I don’t wanna imagine what Zade would do to me as punishment for trying to flee again.

For a fleeting moment, I briefly contemplated splurging on the card and squandering most of the money in there on diamonds and luxurious clothes. After all, in my defense, he didn’t give me a limit of what to spend. However, in the next moment, I let out a sigh as I discarded that thought. That would just make me feel more indebted to him and I already feel indebted to him enough. And besides, I wasn’t the materialistic type so that was out of the question.

With that thought in mind, I only picked out important things I’d need in the coming weeks, then I rang up my order and was walking out of the store almost thirty minutes later.

On the way back to Zade’s house, I let out a grimace because I reminded myself to start seeing his house as my new home because it’s where I’d be spending the next one year, whether I liked it or not.

The taxi ride was smooth and after alighting, I paid and walked into the large compound with all that I got. The door was opened by the security and I went in, already imagining taking a hot bath then sleeping for hours. It hit me at that moment that I should have ordered food before arriving here, but it was too late to turn back right now.

I was grumbling underneath my breath as I stepped into the sitting room, and at once, I stumbled to a stop, my things tumbling to the ground, because right in front of me, Zads and Lena were fucking.

My mouth fell open with disbelief and as I blinked fast, I kept expecting the image to change but it didn’t. Zade was sitting in one of the couches, and Lena was riding him and moaning wantonly, her eyes closed and her head thrown back like she was in heaven.

My mouth moved but no sound came out, and that’s the exact moment Zade’s eyes locked with mine from across Lena’s shoulder. His hand was around her waist and the second was gripping her throat, and I blinked, my eyes still locked with his. He was still fuvking into her from underneath her, uncaring that I was standing right here!

If Lena heard when all my clothes fell to the ground, she didn’t indicate because she was still moaning like she was being fucked within an inch of her life.

I felt disgusted. I felt annoyed. I felt irritated.

A child is literally here in this house at this very moment! And they’re out here fucking like rabbits! Have they no shame?

Scratch that. They clearly have no shame… especially Zade whose eyes never left mine as he kept on fucking Lena.

After spluttering for a few minutes with no sound coming out, I ended up averting my gaze and dropping to pick up my things, then I left the sitting room as fast as I could.

In my bedroom, I was irritated to the depth of my soul as I put all my clothes away.

How shameless. I’ve never met people that shameless before. Surely the sex couldn’t be that good that they had to do it right in the sitting room, especially while knowing they’re not alone in the house.

I’ve never been a fan of sex. Sex was just there for me, it was nothing exciting. And after leaving prison, my husband never touched me since he had now been fucking my ex-best friend. So, for over two years now, I’ve not had sex and it’s not like I missed it or anything because my sex life with Dave wasn’t that impressive or exciting.

Lena was definitely exaggerating by how she was moaning like a literal pornstar. Talk about shameless.

Ugh.

I rolled my eyes as I made my way into the bathroom adjoining my room, then I began to run myself a bath.

~~~

After taking a very satisfying bath, my intention was to fall right asleep, but I was too hungry to do that, which is why I’m presently in the kitchen again, trying to put something together before this hunger ends up killing me.

I ended up settling on preparing spaghetti. I was a horrible cook but I hoped that what I’d end up preparing today would be a little edible at least, and poison free.

As I set the water to boil, I decided to go through my phone while waiting, and that’s how I logged into my phone after connecting to the house’s WiFi.

At once, my mouth fell open from disbelief from all that I was seeing online. It was a picture of Zade and myself in the diamond store. So many pictures, and that all looked erotic and sultry.

There’s so much speculation about us. Some wondered if we’ve been together for a while and are about to get married. Some wondered if it was just a fling. Some were criticizing Zade for getting together with a criminal even though it was just a fling and that he should be able to do better than someone like me. The speculation were a lot and my head began to pound the more I kept scrolling.

When I logged into my call log, I saw a lot of missed phone calls.

So many were from Dave, while the rest were from my family members.

My two elder brothers who never contacted me since I got thrown into prison, suddenly called today.

A scoff left my mouth at that very moment.

How dare they? What do they want?

Exra and Ethan were twins, and they’re older than me by about five years. They were best friends with Zade while we were growing up, and that’s how I grew up with Zade always being around me.

They were so protective of me as we grew up, and I loved them so much, which was why I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to get over the way they betrayed me.

There were a few missed calls from my mother. My mother deserted me along with my two elder brothers. Everyone, including my father, turned their back on me when I needed their support the most.

Why they were all calling me today of all days was obvious enough. It’s because of the surfaced pictures of Zade and myself.

They haven’t been well off anymore since Zade’s father took the company away from them.

At that moment, a call came in from Dave. I stared at it unseeing for a bit before accepting it, placing the phone against my ear.

“Those pictures online, have you gotten together with Zade?!” Dave thundered at once, screaming like a maniac.

Before I could respond, he quickly continued. “So he’s the one that bailed you from prison? Huh? Answer me!” He screeched and I could just picture the veins in his forehead popping out right now.

“Stop screaming, you’re giving me a headache.” I told him as I massaged my forehead.

“And for the record, I don’t have to answer any of your questions, so please leave me alone, mind your own business and get lost!” I yelled into the phone this time.

“I’m warning you right now, Carla. Don’t get delusional, this isn’t some fairytale where you’d delude yourself into thinking you can somehow get revenge on me. I have a lot of thinks to use in completely ruining your life, so always have that at the back of your mind.

I let out a laugh this time. “My life is already at rock bottom. How else can my life be ruined? Huh?”

“I have your fingerprints. I can easily have you framed for anything so don’t test me, are we clear?!”

Before I could respond, a hard body was coming to stand behind me, temporarily trapping me against the counter I was standing right in front of, and I gasped in surprise and shock. At the same time, the phone was taken from my hand as well, by none other than Zade.

As my heartbeat instantly picked up and goosebumps scattered over my skin, I glanced up to watch him set the phone to loud speaker.

“Please stop calling her and go fuck yourself.” Zade growled into the phone and my eyes widened, a shiver slithering down my body because I felt the vibrations in his voice from his chest presently pressing into my back.

Dave splutters could be heard through the phone as he struggled to say something in response, but Zade ended the call before he could succeed in doing that.
