CHAPTER 1; BETRAYAL

I'm here inside my fiancee's apartment hiding behind the curtains, I'm waiting for him to return so I could surprise him. I've not seen him for a week because he's so busy and I don't want to disturb him. But I missed him so much so I sneaked out to see him.

Clack!''

'Oh his here! I'll make you jump today baby.. hehe' I said in my head as I get out of the curtain.

"Ughhh.... slowly Tyler~" I heard a woman said.

" What can I do? You're just so sexy, so bear with me baby..." A man's voice replied.

I recognized the man's voice and it's none other than Tyler's, the guy I dated for three years and my soon-to-be husband.

"You're such a bad guy Tyler~ ... How could you play with me your fiancee's best friend?..." The woman said.

'Wait! Don't tell me, Shane?' I said in my head as tears rolled down my cheeks...

'How could they do this to me?' I said clutching my fist.

The sounds are getting louder and I can tell they're about to take off their clothes by the sounds they are making. I couldn't take it anymore so I went out and confronted them.

"ENOUGH!!!!!!" I shouted. They both looked so startled by the sudden sound.

"A-Aubrey? W-what are you doing here?" Shane said.

" Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? How could you Shane? How could you!!!" Shane fidgeted, she looks so embarrassed she couldn't meet my eyes.

Shane and I have been best friends since senior high. Whenever she's in trouble I'd always be there to lend her a hand and a shoulder to lean on. I've always been there for her whenever she's down and feeling worthless. I treated her like a family, not because I pity her but because I did love her. It has always been me who's there for her. So I've never once doubted her, she's the last person I've ever thought would betray me.

"Shane... I love you so much... How could you betray me like this? I supported you in everything and anything you wanted in every way I could.!!" I said as I took a step closer to them.

"A-Aubrey... I'm so sorry... I-I didn't mean to!" She said and I slapped her.

"How dare you say you didn't mean it? I heard everything you said the moment you both entered the apartment!!! Stop acting innocent you're just a whore!!!" I said in anger and Shane ran out of the apartment crying. I've never once judged her for having sex with just anyone when she feels like it, I know what I said hurt her, but I'm hurting more I could care less.

"Come back here!!!" I said trying to chase her but Tyler grabbed my hand.

"That's enough Aubrey!" He said calmly.

I turned to face him and my palm landed on his cheek. I slapped him.

"How could you? Why? Just why?!!"

"I trusted you! I loved you with all my heart, how could you do this to me? Am I not enough? Where am I lacking? I gave you everything I could give because I love you and I thought you were the same. " I said grabbing his collar crying because of the pain and anger in my heart.

" I-I'm so sorry... Please give me another chance..." He said kneeling slowly. I cried so much that I'm choking. I took a deep breath to say something but he interrupted me with his deadly glare.

" Do you think I'd say that? HAHAHAHA" Tyler said laughing like a madman.

"W-what do you mean?" I took a step back, scared of his sudden change in attitude and facial expression. We've been together for three years but I've never once seen him like this.

Tyler stood up straight he straightened his tie and walked slowly towards me.

" You're right!" He said staring at me.

"W-what?" I said taking a step back.

"You heard me! You're right! You've never been enough!" He said and went to grab a chair, he then sat down and crossed his legs.

The way he looks at me was so different than how he usually looks at me, he would look at me so gently like I'm some kind of fragile glass before, but now, he glares at me like how a predator towards its prey. I'm so shocked I can no longer feel my legs. The strength in my body dissipating, I slumped down on the floor crying.

"H-have you ever loved me?" I asked nervously. I don't want to know but I need to for my sake. I clutched my fist as I await his answer hoping he'd say he did love me. But the reality's always been so cruel.

"Ha!! Love you, you say? HAHAHAHA" he laughed like that was the most ridiculous question he'd ever heard.

"NO! I've never once loved you. Not now, not before, NEVER!! He said heartlessly. His words cutting deep into my heart making the pain more unbearable than it is.

"I-I don't believe you! Why would you propose to me if you don't even love me? You're lying!" I said lying to myself. I can tell by the look in his eyes, that he doesn't care.

The three years Tyler and I spent together were perfect, we're happy every single day. Everyone envied us for being such a loving couple. So how did things turn out like this? Where did I go wrong?

"You want to know if I'm lying or not right? Then why don't I confirm it for ya!" Tyler said as he stood up and walked closer to me.

"W-". I said but before I could finish a single word he grabbed my hair and dragged me to his room.

"Ahhhh!! Tyler let go! It hurts.." I cried holding his hand that's grabbing my hair.

"Like hell, I care!" He spat on me.

" Tyler, please... Ahhh!!" I shouted as he throw me on the bed. I feel like my hair's gonna fall off it hurts so much.

"You want to know right? Then I'll show you!" Tyler said with an evil smirk.

I felt shivers down my spine when he said that. I know something bad's gonna happen from the way he smirked.

He went to open his drawer and took out a handcuff, my eyes went wide the moment I saw it. I tried to run away but he caught me and cuffed my hands on the bed. after he cuffed my hands he took out his phone and called someone to come.

" Hey, buddy! I have a surprise for you... Come to my apartment!" He said and hang up. He turned to look at me and smirked.

" You're in big trouble now Aubrey... You shouldn't have come here, now look at what happened. This is all your fault, you only have yourself to blame."
