"Yes! I want you! I want more of you!" The sound of the familiar feminine moan caused me to clutch the hem of my shirt tight and bite my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down into tears.
I leaned closer to the door with a hitched breath, my hands reached for the door knob but I struggled to pull it open. Perhaps it was because my hands were shaky or maybe it was because I was afraid to see what was on the inside.
"Oh damn it!" My fiance, Alex moaned in satisfaction. My heart began to race extremely fast as I pondered on what next to do. Even if I did barge in, what was I to say? How was I supposed to confront a man I would be getting married to the next day?
I turned around and shook my head in disagreement, I was not going to confront him. Rather, I was going to pretend like I never even heard them in the first place.
Just as I was about to take a step down the stairs, my ringing tone blared out loud startling me. Alex and Emma had paused whatever they were doing and i could now hear footsteps drawing closer to the door.
I muttered a cuss under my breath, I hastily put my phone on DND and tossed it into my pockets. Just as I was about to rush downstairs, it was too late because the door already flew open wide and Alex was standing by the door, shirtless.
"Hi babe." I forced a smile on my face, pretending like I had not just heard him moaning in satisfaction at my best friend.
"What are you doing here?" Alex snapped at me. I choked out a nervous chuckle before shrugging in response. "I just wanted to hang out with you before our wedding. You know it is going to be quite hectic tomorrow and we will not have time for each other, we will both be busy attending to guests." I said.
Alex scoffed and rolled his eyes at me. "Whatever. As you can see, or as you have heard.." he paused to open the door to his room wide, revealing my supposed best friend, Emma lying naked on Alex's bed.
Our eyes met and Emma hastily covered her face in shame. "Alex, come on! This was supposed to be a secret between the both of us." She whined.
My heart broke. I felt like I had been punched in the guts. I mean I knew it was Emma judging by the sound of her voice but seeing her lying comfortably on my own fiance's bed, it broke my heart into pieces.
I was not even mad at Alex. I mean how could I be?
My relationship with Alex had always been an open relationship, at least so he called it. Alex was a playboy, he loved changing women like they were some kind of item.
The only thing that kept me with Alex was the huge debt that my family owed his family. Alex's grandfather had borrowed my dad a huge amount of money as capital for a business. Long story cut short, dad's business flopped and as the oldest daughter, I was sold to Alexander McCall.
Alex and I only dated for five months and his grandfather's wish was that Alex marries me. I was surprised when his grandfather was able to convince him to get married. I mean Alex was the most famous billionaire playboy in the city.
"Perhaps, would you like to join us? To make it a threesome?" Alex winked at me with a huge grin plastered on his face. I clutched my fist tight and allowed the tears to roll down my cheeks. Emma was supposed to be my bridesmaid for tomorrow's wedding, how could she do this to me?
Without wasting anymore time, I turned to Alex and said. "I will see you tomorrow at the wedding."
With tears in my eyes and a aching heart, I rushed down the stairs and hastily made my way out of the mansion. My heart began to beat rapidly as I boarded a taxi to my home. I could hear my ringing tone blaring out loud but I chose to ignore it because I could already guess who the caller was. It was Emma and i was not ready to hear any stupid excuse from her.
I rubbed my temple in frustration and tried to calm myself down, in less than hour, the taxi driver pulled his cab into my driveway.
I got off the cab and handed the driver a ridiculously high amount of money without caring. All I wanted to do was sleep away my sorrows. Luckily for me, my parents were not home, I was the only one left alone to wallow in my own misery.
I spent the entire day crying my eyes out and trying to reconsider the whole marriage thing with Alexander McCall. I mean it was not like I had a choice, my parents were the one who pushed me into this mess.
The next morning came by so fast. I was woken up by my mother to get prepared for the wedding. Emma, my supposed brides maid had not showed up yet, as a matter of fact, I had a huge feeling that she was not going to show up, the guilt she felt would never let her to.
The preparations were set and just as my father was about to walk me down the aisle, a loud gunshot erupted the air causing a pandemodium to arise.
My heart raced heavily as everyone tried to get themselves to safety, the smoke in the athmosphere blurred my vision and made it difficult for me to run.
All I could hear was shouts and screams of pain accompanied by gunshot noises.
I suddenly felt a tight grip on my wrist. With fear written all over my face, I turned around to gaze at the culprit. It was Alexander dressed handsomely in a tuxedo. I sighed in relief and just as Alexander was about to say something to me, another sound of gunshot cut him halfway his sentence.
The next thing that happened was so fast and the last thing I could remember before succumbing to the darkness was Alexander's body falling flat to the floor, covered in his own pool of blood.
Varda's POV “I honestly do not see anything weird about Gabriel Fernandez having a son around five years old. I mean like I said earlier, Villains are allowed to have children too. Right?” I said. There was nothing suspicious about that to me. I was expecting more, something deeper. “Okay then Varda, if you say so. But either ways, I am going to look into the child too because I found out that Gabriel Fernandez is divorced so that means he probably has no connections with his son.” Davis said. “Well, that probably explains why they have no pictures together or history together.” I paused to release a loud yawn. Talking to Davis made me feel a lot more better, maybe that was what I needed after all, to talk to someone who was on the same page as me. “I think you should focus on digging more about Gabriel. I do not really care about his child. I just want to know what his relationship with Stephen is and why Stephen is so afraid of him.” Davis cleared his throat. “Well, that m
Varda's POV Fransisca was not back yet. I waited all through the evening for her hoping she would get back but she did not. I even went as far as asking Asher if he knew what time his mum would return but the kid had no clue at all. The only person who would probably have an idea would be Stephen but then I could not exactly ask Stephen about it because if I dared to, Stephen would notice that I was up to something fishy so the only thing I could do was sit by the tip of my bed with my door locked and the phone lying carelessly on my laps. I was so carried away with my thoughts that I had not noticed the phone was able to slip from my laps until it rang out loud. I hastily picked up the phone and answered the call. I already knew it was Davis, I did not have to check the caller ID because he was pretty much the only one that had my number. “Hello?” My voice blared through the speakers. “Varda?” Davis replied, he sounded surprised and I could not help but wonder why. “Yeah?”“Why
Varda's POV Elisa led me back into the mansion and once we strode the hallways. She made it clear that she would do the talking instead because I guess she was afraid I would overreact. I agreed because it was not like I could protest or argue, she was the one currently in charge. She led me up the stairs, to the last floor. We halted in front of a small room by the end of the hallways. I had never been here before, I had a lot of questions swirling through my head but I brushed them aside for later. “Remember, I do the talking.” Elisa snapped at me. I nodded my head slowly. “Also, try not to pressure her or anything.” Elisa added and I rolled my eyes at her. “Yes ma'am.”Without wasting another second, Elisa delivered a small knock on the door before pushing it open wide. The room was lit with a bulb hanging carelessly across the roof. There was about five bunk beds all placed by the edge of the room. To be honest, the place was stuffy and standing inside instantly made me feel
Varda's POV Elisa walked towards the empty bench in the middle of the garden and settled on it because it seemed like she was losing balance. She rested her back against the wood and breathed a heavy sigh. “Varda, how did that even get into your possession and what is it for?” Elisa asked, it looked like she was speechless but somehow, words still flowed out of her mouth. I sighed heavily, I really did not want to tell her more. There was absolutely no need to go in full details because it was not really that deep. Plus I still did not trust Elisa to the extent of telling her my plan and all. “Look Elisa, that does not matter.” I said running a hand through my hair in frustration. “Are you going to tell me who the maid is or what?” I was beginning to become impatient. Although I understood that Elisa was still having a hard time processing all of it but regardless of it all, there was no time on my side. The maid could literally snitch on me any moment from now, I had to find out
Varda's POVI stepped out of the hall, fortunately for me, I was able to tiptoe to the back of the building where there was no paparazzi, no music, no Stephen, just me.I sat on a small block and allowed the cool air hit me. The feeling of the breeze on my bare skin sent chills down my spine and ca
Varda's POVI was dumbstruck by the sight in front of me. Stephen actually stole my dress and had the guts to rip it into shreds. I felt this instant anger rise in me and I bit my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down into tears because not only was I angry, I was sad too. I felt so unwanted.
Varda's POV"YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT!" Fransisca yelled at me, her eyes wide open in shock. On a normal day, I would have been surprised by my sudden action but right now, I was barely even thinking. All I could focus on was making sure Fransisca returned my dress back. If Fransisca does not retur
Varda's POVThe dress. It was right there on my bed. How did it disappear all of a sudden? Who took it? My heart began to race extremely fast in fear as I began to pace the room."Varda? Is everything okay? You said you wanted to show me the dress." Elisa said from behind me. I ran a hand through m
