Bella
I looked into her eyes, and they were desperate and filled with lust. His shiny blue eyes glowed in the dark from the little bit of light that peeped into the completely dark room through the window blinds. It was obvious that she knew her way around his body from the way she moved her hands around his muscular chest and arms. I saw his hardness throb from underneath his suit trousers. He wanted her, and he wanted her badly. “You're so beautiful, Beth. You're the only woman I've ever wanted,” he whispered, but loud enough for me to make out the words. “Then why aren't you getting married to me instead?” She asked shamelessly. There was no atom of regret or remorse in them as he tore the zipper of her black bridesmaid dress. When she showed up in a black dress instead of the blue color we agreed on, I should have known that she was up to no good. Wait! He was never this big with me. He's huge! I always thought I could never get everything I ever wanted in a man, physically and in every other area. I always thought the things he didn't have in cock size he made up for in character. He was kind, caring, and thoughtful. That was all I ever wanted. He was never really after the sex, or so I thought. She turned him on in a way I had never seen. I could feel their warmth from where I was hiding in the closet as they went completely naked. “I met her first, but I don't love her. She disgusts me!” The tears that were already blurring my vision rolled effortlessly as soon as I saw him latch on her nipples, flicking them gently with his tongue, and she let out a satisfied moan. “Just shut up and make love to me!” He pressed his body against hers, where he pinned her to the wall and closed her mouth in a long, passionate kiss. I picked up my phone with shaky hands and started to take pictures of them. They'll never be able to deny it. If they were doing this without regret, they must be ready to face the consequences. My mascara ran down with my tears and stained my white ball gown. This was my dream dress, my dream man, and my dream wedding, all messed up! People say you can never find a good man, and I set out to prove them wrong. Here's my proof, with his tongue darting in and out of my sister's mouth! “I know I used to be a playboy, but you changed me, Bella,” he said on our second date. My darling changed husband is right here, pushing his fingers into my sister's clitoral area. I tried to get them from different angles, but the little hole the closet provided me with didn't give me enough room. At least their miserable faces were showing clearly in the few I had gotten. I felt fresh hatred grow as she screamed his name with every touch. “Har—din” She couldn't even say it without moans interrupting her words. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to return to the wedding venue as they slowly worked each other's bodies with their fingers and tongues. She was ready to have him inside of her, but Hardin, as far as I know, didn't like to rush his food. He loved to savor every moment—every lick, every touch, every suck—and here he was, doing it with another woman, even better. I was stuck in the closet, and I couldn't breathe. The air was uncomfortable, and I was tired of the scene playing out in front of me. I didn't even know what hurt more—the way he desired her or the fact that it was my own sister. “Should I come out and stop this?” I thought to myself as I watched. “What if they kill me? They obviously don't need me around.” I clenched my fist tightly, shut my eyes tightly, and let out my screams in my head. I bit my lower lip painfully as I remembered the times when I caught them throwing flirty stares at each other, and I thought I was only being paranoid. I had teased them about liking each other once, and we all had a good laugh. I shared how good Hardin was in bed with Beth. Maybe it was because he was the only one I had ever had sex with, so whatever he did satisfied me. It was never like this. He was never this energetic or excited about me. The slapping sounds their bodies produced as he thrust into her made me want to rip my ears out and made my stomach churn. “Why are they doing this? Why did Hardin agree to marry me if he loved her instead? This is my own sister, for fuck's sake!” “Oh fuck!” I heard Beth scream, and her voice has never been this disgusting. I wanted to break things. I wanted to rip them apart. I was trembling. It came to a sudden stop. All I could hear was slow breaths, followed by total silence. I opened my eyes and peered out of the closet again. They weren't there anymore. I pinched myself to be sure it wasn't all a dream. I realized it wasn't as soon as I picked up my phone and unlocked it. My gallery of pictures of the scene welcomed me. I heard clapping sounds and a voice shouting that the groom had arrived. They'll definitely be looking for the bride. I stood up and walked out of the room with my legs wobbling. I went straight into my dad's office and printed out the pictures. Luckily, the stack of printed wedding programs and events was still in there. I put copies of the pictures in each of them and went back to my room to redo my makeup and get ready to meet my waiting groom. As soon as I finished, my sister walked in.Daniel Scarlet Vine loomed before us as we stepped out of the car, its neon sign pulsing in the night like a heartbeat. A club for the elite, it was said that a night with one of its infamous escorts could cost more than a middle-class man earned in six months. Courtney slipped her arm through mine as we approached the entrance, her touch light but possessive.“Please protect me from the men in there, Tom Cruise,” she teased, her voice laced with irony.I ignored her, keeping my eyes ahead. We navigated through the throngs of dancers on the floor. A tall man in dark glasses materialized without uttering a word. He nodded for us to follow, and we did, threading our way through the maze of bodies until he led us to a secluded game room.The room was empty, save for the remnants of someone else's night—a pool table with a triangle of balls still in place, a table tennis setup with the net discarded, and empty cups scattered across the surface, the aftermath of a game of beer pong. Anoth
Daniel I pulled away the moment the car started moving, scrubbing my lips against my sleeve as if it mattered. The woman beside me, who I'd just kissed, was smiling widely, her eyes dancing with amusement."Don't even think about saying anything," I snapped, but I knew she wouldn't care."You really know how to put on a good show," she chuckled, her voice light, teasing."Oh, shut up.""Is that how you treat a woman you just kissed so passionately?" she mocked, her expression exaggerated, almost playful.I didn't respond. Instead, I turned to the window, watching the city blur by in streaks of neon and darkness. It was a Friday night, after all. People were pouring out of office buildings, heading to bars, clubs, wherever they could lose themselves for a few hours.But I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the office. About that text from Bella.Bella had texted me earlier, asking me to come by. I wasn't planning to—there were more urgent things on my mind. The text above h
Bella I spun around just as the door flew open, and the sight before me made my heart drop. There she was—Lilian—bound and gagged, struggling to speak but only managing muffled, frantic noises. A huge man with a buzzcut was dragging her inside, his muscles bulging as if they could snap her in half. He was trailed by a much smaller, wiry man, nervously shifting his weight from one bony arm to the other, his tank top a strange choice for someone so frail. “Here she is,” Buzzcut announced, tying Lilian to a chair with a roughness that made me wince. Xander slipped his phone back into his pocket, nodding in approval like this was the most normal thing in the world. “What’s... what’s the meaning of this?” I stammered, confusion and horror swirling inside me. “Why is she... Oh my God, is that her bone sticking out of her leg?” I gasped, the sight turning my stomach. “She’s the one who sabotaged my dad’s company,” Xander said, his tone cold. I shot him a glare. “You mean my compa
Bella“What are you doing here?” My voice came out in a breathless whisper, shock rendering me immobile.Xander was in my apartment, perched on a chair as if he'd been waiting forever. His disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes told a story of their own. He was still wearing the shirt from earlier, now stained with sweat, as if he’d thrown it on in a rush after our... encounter. But if he was in such a hurry, why hadn't he followed me? Why was he here now, looking like someone I barely recognized?He didn’t answer. Instead, he toyed with a loose thread on his sleeve, eyes cast downward.“Answer me, Xander!” I demanded, my voice rising. I wasn’t in the mood for one of his games, but there was something off about him. Something... different.Finally, he spoke, his voice low. “As you were running after David, I asked you something. You never gave me an answer.”My shoulders relaxed, just a little. “His name is Daniel.”“And I don’t give a fuck what his name is,” Xander snapped, his voice sud
Bella“You pushed me away like you always do, Xander. You make me feel like I’m someone to you, then trash me. I’m a woman and I have needs. I want surprise flowers and a new dress with a note that says, ‘Dinner at nine’. Daniel was there for me. It’s the least I can do.” I said all of that in one breath before dashing out. I made for Daniel’s house, speed walking without taking a single moment to see how Xander reacted. I kept scratching my hair like I had lice. The rain wasn't helping either. I was drenched but it didn’t matter. I didn’t know what I was going to say to him when I found him. I just wanted to look into his eyes and feel them.I didn’t have to walk too far. I stopped at the glass doors to the popular bar. I watched him take a huge gulp of his cheap beer before yelling at the bartender to get him three more. What had I done? I broke him.“Daniel, I didn’t know you drank,” I said in a low voice, standing a little away from where he sat at the bar counter. He didn’t look
Bella“Ma’am?” Rita, Xander’s assistant, called out to me, and it looked like she had been watching me for a while but I was so lost in thought that I didn’t notice. “What are you doing here? You have someone here as well?”Thank goodness she gave me the sweetest lie ever. All I had to do was nod slowly in agreement. Nana was someone to me too so it wasn’t really a lie.I gave off a sigh of relief. I should have known Xander was never one to give away flowers to random women. I gave her a quick smile and turned to leave. I couldn’t face Nana after lying on her grave and I didn’t have any flowers to offer too.“You’re leaving?” Rita called out. She clearly wasn’t someone who knew how to mind the business that paid her and that was to drop off the flowers.“Yeah, I remembered that I left something really important at the office. I’ll need it tomorrow. You know how the boss gets.”I didn’t really forget anything at the office but I wanted space and I didn’t want to go home. Lately, the a
