Humiliated

3rd POV:

3 MONTHS LATER:

Humiliated:

It was a beautiful Saturday Afternoon when Terra had decided to cook a recipe she had found online. She had been craving a lot of sweets. She hummed a soft tune playing from her phone dancing around the kitchen with pure excitement and happiness. She had always loved dancing but it was simply a hobby. Evelyn had tried to convince her to do it professionally along with cooking as well because Evelyn swore Terra was better than some many chefs out there.

The past few months had been exceedingly long for Terra and Ross, Terra assumed she was the only one who felt like the days were long because she wasn't doing anything, she was simply cooped up in the house but a few weeks ago when Ross' office was going through a renovation, Terra had overheard him saying the same thing she had been feeling.

She sometimes felt miserable and lonely in the house, Evelyn was out of the country practicing and preparing for her big interview and would most likely settle there, and she had no other friends except Evelyn. Ross was as cold as ice since their wedding night, he never uttered a word to her and ignored her greetings so much that she stopped greeting him. No words were exchanged between the two.

Especially after Terra had noticed a lipstick stain on Ross' white collar, she was so heartbroken and refused to even look him in the eye. Everyday for Terra, was a lonely, miserable day and it was beginning to get frustrating.

As she danced around the large kitchen, she was so into the steps, she failed to see Ross standing there leaning on the door frame watching her body move with intrigue. He was so amazed by her, she was extremely talented, as he had tasted some of the dishes she had made and mentally concluded that she was the best cook. And he had also seen her a few times practicing taekwondo, she was not to be played with.

Terra grinned from ear to ear as she concluded her steps, with her back turned away from Ross, she did a bow like she had just performed, waving to the non-existent crowd and this seemed to have tickled Ross Funny bone as he chuckled softly making Terra turn around looking at him with wide eyes.

"You're back." She pointed out and Ross instantly masked up his amused expression replacing it with his regular blank face. She exhaled when he didn't reply, checking the snacks she was preparing in the oven.

Why do I even try? She thought to herself wearing the cute pink mittens she had purchased.

"The make-up artist and stylist will be here in about thirty minutes." He informed her, grabbing a bottle of water and leaving the kitchen.

She stomped her foot on the ground and huffed, they were headed to her Ross Mum's birthday party that was the talk of the city. Terra did not want to be there as she had figured his mother did not like her in the slightest nor did she. But she had to fulfill her duty as Ross'wife so was going to dress beautifully and do as she was told.

And before I know it, the party will be over and I come back and rest in bliss. She smiled taking a bite out of the cookies moaning at how delicious it is.

*********

Terra and Ross arrived at the event noticing the media outside taking pictures and talking to a few business tycoons and millionaires who gave them the time of the day. 

"Be on a good behavior." She looked at him with a bored expression as he held her hand helping out of the car. The paparazzi instantly began to take pictures of the couple delighted at the beautiful A-line spaghetti straps corset back dress Terra had on and the beautiful red gown had a slit at the side. Her brown hair was curled, making her look like a goddess. Ross was amazed when he saw her but failed to give her a compliment and just gave her a look to hurry up as she elegantly walked down the stairs in the mansion.

"You look amazing."

"Mr and Mrs Anderson, you two are such a beautiful couple." 

Reporters said flashing cameras as they continued walking into the event. Terra was almost smiling but quickly caught herself. 

As soon as they entered into the hall, Terra smiled looking in awe at the beautiful decorations and extravagant attires everyone had on. The Andersons were a wealthy family owning different chains of luxurious hotels, it was no wonder they were only associated with the successful and just being invited into their events was a big honor.

"Good evening." Ross and Terra greeted Ross' aunt who was standing next to his mother and Nina, they were laughing and discussing until the couple arrived. 

"You look so beautiful." His aunt complimented and to Terra's surprise Ross'mum hummed in agreement. 

"So beautiful, I bet the reason you two are late and missed my grand entrance was most likely due to the fact that the stylist couldn't fit Terra into that gown." Mrs Anderson spoke while sipping her wine and Ross who was now looking around for his friends paid no attention to them.

Terra shifted uncomfortably, feeling a pang of hurt at Mrs Anderson hidden meaning.

"Happy Birthday Mrs Anderson. You look gorgeous but If you will excuse me…" Terra stumbled on her words making eye contact with Ross who was now speaking with Nina, then walked away in search of the bathroom but before she could leave the hall, she met Grandpa Philip.
