Chapter 3

Alison’s POV

My ex, Cory, lay naked in bed with my mother! In what world do things like this happen? If Cory wanted a woman double my age he could’ve just told me. He rather chose to trample on my self-esteem and hook up with no other woman but my mother.

“If you hadn’t rushed and dated my daughter then we could have been a thing but as it stands now we can’t be together.” She said to him,

“We broke up,” Cory replied.

“What?” Mom said sitting up.

“Yes, I figured it was better to let her go than to keep her around and hate her in my heart. You’re the one I want and I can’t keep up with the lies any longer.”

“No Cory, we can never be together! Poor Alison, she likes you very much. I have to call her, she must be bawling her eyes out right now.”

As she picked up her phone, I flung the door open with rage and stood in the doorway. I can’t describe the horror on their faces,

“Alison?” My mom exclaimed.

I didn’t talk, I was too shocked to say anything, I looked away from her and then at Cory. He was so terrified that even his rod went flaccid at once.

“Who would have thought!” I exclaimed, still too shocked to get my thoughts organized.

They started to scamper around and dress up, “Alison, I can explain.” My mom started to say as she walked up to me,

I started to take some steps back, I wanted her as far away from me as possible. Everything in this world could be explained but what good would explanations do for an aching heart?

“What is there to explain?” I shrieked. “How are you going to explain with words what I just witnessed with my eyes?”

She looked apologetic, while Cory was just being Cory. So unapologetic! I should’ve known he was a dog when I saw him, how did I miss this?

Tears freely streamed down my face, “you taught me to be a good girl just so you could be bad for my boyfriend?”

“Alison, listen to me please!”

“Go to hell,” I screamed and rushed out of the apartment. My world was falling apart, I had been betrayed by people I loved so dearly and it cut me deep. If I thought last night was painful then today was going to be worse.

I cried openly in public with no idea where I was going next or what was going to happen to me. My mother was all I had. She told me stories of how miserable she was to be pregnant and abandoned at 16.

She told me how much she loved me and wanted the best for me.

“Alison, don't let any man touch you till marriage, when you get pregnant they will abandon you.” She would drum in my ears till I had no option but to listen and obey.

She was my best friend, my everything and now I had nothing. I couldn’t go home that day, I didn’t want my mom to come over and try to beg me. I was cutting her off from today, it was over today. I would never forgive her and Cory for what they had done to me. Never!

My next stop was the club. I ordered some alcohol and took some shots, the tipsier I got the hungrier I got for revenge. By the 4th shot, my desire to punish Cory was burning like hell within my heart. I had to punish Cory, I can’t let him go easily after what he had done to me. I placed my index finger on my lips trying to come up with a good revenge plan, surprisingly nothing came to mind.

I drank more alcohol as if it would help me come up with something good. My eyes twinkled with excitement as an idea finally hit me!

Cory was working with one of the most reputable companies in town, Elektro Hardware and Software company. They dealt with anything that had to do with any type of gadget. Cory was very serious about his job and I’m sure he was working hard to win an award or something I had no idea. I began to devise ways I could ruin his life like he ruined mine.

Maybe I could go to his workplace and spread malicious lies that would get him fired. Yes! I could definitely do that. It didn’t matter what I said as long as it is believable they would believe me.

This lightened my mood, as I staggered home that night drunk but aware of my surroundings. Tomorrow I was going to ruin that stupid guy's life. If he thought that I was to be messed with then he was greatly mistaken.
