Her Quiet Revenge

Rose Alexander

I stood by the doorway with a shocked expression. My brain was trying to comprehend what my eyes were seeing in front of me.

My mind and heart were both arguing as I couldn’t believe that my best friend, someone who was the most precious person to me, someone I treated like family was in bed naked with my beloved fiance. The only man I loved so much in my whole entire life.

But then my heart kept arguing with my brain trying to tell me it was only someone that resembled him. But seeing the look on the two faces said otherwise. They looked like they couldn’t believe I was standing before them.

“ What’s this?” I asked, my voice barely audible.

Blinking a couple times, it seems the two realized they weren’t imagining stuff and I was right in front of them. Quickly gathering the sheets as they struggled, covering themselves up.

Looking up at me with a pleading expression.

“Rose” my fiance called jumping out of the bed desperately trying to get his trouser that was lying on the floor. “ please I can explain my love “

Closing my eyes I took a deep breath, trying my best not to cry as I realized my hope for the man not being my fiance was shattered.

I was driving home from work when I felt my cramps becoming unbearable, that’s why I decided to go to Selena’s house hoping she had gotten some medicine, not expecting to find them both in bed.

“What?” I asked, “ what do you want to explain?" How you lied about having a business meeting while you were in bed enjoying yourself with my best friend,? Even though I told you I was in serious pain, is that it? “

“Rose please.”

My best friend spoke for the first time trying to join the conversation. Turning I looked at her blinking my eyes trying so hard not to cry in front of both of them.

Looking at her I couldn’t help but think why. I treated her like my sister, we did literally everything together, went everywhere together. I thought as I shook my head, closing my ears to block the voice of Selena moaning Ryan’s name from earlier.

Looking up at them I chuckled darkly like one who had lost her mind. I still couldn’t believe this was happening to me right now, it must be a dream right, I thought looking at them I couldn’t help but think about how much they deserved each other.

Ryan has always been the famous, popular and eligible bachelor of Canada, Canada most wanted bachelor, while Selena was Canada beauty queen, the woman who everyone desired to have, she was on every man’s mind and heart.

While I was just there, someone who always excluded myself from others, someone who people don’t know much about.

I was just a Shrinking Violet.

It made sense now that I thought of it as I felt stupid for believing a guy like Ryan would be interested in me, for believing in his lies. But I couldn’t blame myself, when Ryan approached me and told me he was interested in me I felt happy, I felt like I was as lucky as Cinderella and as strong as queen Elsa. But those were just my fantasies I thought as I turned to look at them again. It made sense I thought once more

.

“ Please let me explain Rose, “ Ryan said in a hurry.

Chuckling I looked at him “ Don’t bother “ I smiled as I continued “ Just save me the stress and lies you are about to fill my head with. “

Removing the engagement ring I threw it on the floor towards him not caring if it got damaged or not.

Turning to my ex best friend I smiled “ I wish you both a happy life since our engagement is off now. “

Turning around I left the room with every ounce of strength I had left in me, willing myself not to shed tears until I had left the premises. I am a queen and I refuse to let my enemies see me in tears. That’s right from this moment those two were now my enemies.

Walking out of the house in a fiery state, I walked towards my car, opening the door, which was later closed shut, turning around to look at him, anger in my eyes.

“ Rose please let me explain my love “Ryan said panting.

“ There’s nothing to explain here Ryan, get your hands off my car before I do something we both will regret. “ I tried to open the car once more, but it was shut again.

Taking a deep breath I pushed a button on my keys. Turning around I looked at Selena who was standing a little bit far behind Ryan.

“ Keep my car safe, I will send someone to come take it tomorrow “ I said before making my way out of the premises which disgusted me right now.

Opening my phone to try and book a cab.

“ Rose “ Ryan called, running towards me grabbing my arm.

Jerking my arm out of his hold as I felt disgusted by the touch that I once yearned for.

“ Get away from me while I am being nice Ryan.”

“Don’t worry I will make sure to announce that our engagement is off to the entire Canada first thing tomorrow morning.”I said walking off once more.

“ Rose please “he kept begging, holding my hands in a firm grip, not willing to let me go.

Struggling to free myself from his grip I decided to kick him where the sun does not shine.

Releasing my hands he quickly caught my leg before it could come in contact with his balls, looking at me with horror in his eyes.

Seeing I was free I pushed him away as hard as I could, releasing myself from his grip completely before taking off, running towards the gate of the compound while he chased after me.

Opening the gate of the compound I ran out, trying my best to get away from here as fast as I could, I could feel my strength slowly fading away as tears started pouring down my face.

Taking a sharp corner I ran into the street in the middle of the night without looking.

Hearing the horn of a truck I turned to my left, horror struck me as I saw the light of the vehicle which drove fast towards me hitting me before I could think of moving.

Stopping the car the old man got down to check what just happened. Seeing what he did, he quickly got back into his car and drove away leaving me on the street.

“ Rose “ Ryan shouted looking at me in the middle of the street, running towards me.

“ Don’t! let’s go “ Selena said, dragging him away" " Look Ryan this is an opportunity for both of us, we can finally get rid of her. “ She said cupping his cheeks.

“ But Rose. “He said, bending down to carry me.

“ No! Ryan you just need her for money after all right? And now she’s gone you can have all the Alexander shares. “

Looking at them with tears in my eyes and blood rushing out of my mouth, I was slowly losing my strength, my eyes were slowly closing.

Mustering all the strength I had left in me, I raised my hands putting them on Ryan’s shoes, hoping he would see how desperate I was and not listen to my ex best friend.

“ Let’s go Ryan by tomorrow everything will be over and we will get everything “ Selena said tugging his arms.

Turning around he held Selena’s hands and left.

Looking at them I couldn’t believe that someone I considered my best friend and the man I loved would do this to me.

Tears came down my eyes as I couldn’t believe I was going to die like this while they were going to enjoy their lives.

No, I screamed inside my head, it is not over yet, I must avenge myself, I refuse to be played like a fool and die like this, I will definitely be back to get back at them.

It’s not over until I say it is, I thought before slowly letting darkness take over me.
