Chapter 3: Linda's POV
As he stepped out of the room, my body went numb.
This must have been a joke.
Barney loved me. He wouldn't leave me. He wouldn't say all of those things —he only said them because... A must have been tired.
My brain was having a battle. A part of me knew all what Barney said was true but the other side of me defended it.
Barney was the only man who stood by me when the world rejected me. He loved me when no one else could.
I shook my head and wiped the tears from my eyes. "He was just tired," I whispered to myself.
I sat down by the door, on the floor, and decided to wait for him. My love would bring him back.
I sat here for the rest of the night. Barney didn't return.
The next day I took a shower and dressed up, hoping he would return but he didn't.
This continued for the duration of our honeymoon but I remained optimistic. He would return to me.
On the last day, a knock resonated on the door and I quickly went to check hoping he had returned but it was only the driver.
"Hello, ma'am, I am here to take your bags to the car. Mr. Williams already left," the driver said.
"He left?" I squeaked.
"Yes, ma'am." The driver stepped into the room and took the bag from I had just parked.
I tried to look into his face to see if he was hiding something. Maybe this was a prank. Maybe everything that had happened in the last couple of days was a prank.
"Excuse me," I said walking towards him but he picked up the bags and walked past me.
"Yes ma'am," he replied but he didn't stop.
I was forced to trail after him. "What's going on? What is happening?"
We got to the elevator and I noticed that he was trying to avoid my face. He couldn't look me in the eye.
I took a step closer to him and held him by the collar. "What is fucking going in? Why does my husband keep sending you to me?" I snapped out in frustration.
I have been trying to keep it all in for so long and now I had no patience left. I needed answers.
"I am sorry ma'am, I am only doing my job. I don't know anything," he said with his eyes fixed on the elevator's floor.
I could understand that he was only following instructions but all of these were driving me crazy. Barney shouldn't have been the one to do all of these things to me.
My eyes turned glassy and my throat felt constricted. I had a feeling he wouldn't be in the house either. I would be alone again.
"Where is Barney, please?"
The driver raised his eyes and I saw my pain reflect in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and I felt his muscles tense under my touch.
"He is in his house."
My hands dropped from his collar and my heart stopped beating. The agreement we had was that we were going to live in the new apartment we got.
Not his house.
What was he doing in his house?
"Take me there," I ordered the driver but he quickly raised his eyes to meet mine.
"I am sorry ma'am but the instruction was to take you to the apartment by the seaside and not his apartment." He explained.
I raised my hands and dropped them over my head. I was truly in a mess.
The tears I was trying so hard to stop from falling, spilled down my cheeks.
"Please," I said clutching the driver by the hand. "Please I know this is important for you... It is your job but please if you do this for me, I will never forget, please... Take me there."
The driver stared at me. He didn't say anything he just looked into my eyes as if contemplating if he should help me or not.
The elevator dinged at that moment and my hope cracked.
"I will take you there," came his reply.
"Thank you," I whispered wiping the tears from my eyes.
He picked up the bag and walked out of the elevator. This time, he brought a black Bentley car.
We made our way to the car and after putting the bag in the booth, the driver joined me in the car and we drove out of the hotel parking lot.
"What's your name?" I asked as we got to the road.
"Steve," He said with his focus on the road.
We didn't exchange any other words till he stopped at Barney's house. He parked outside the gates and I stepped out to make my way on foot.
The security at the entrance were surprised to see me but no one stopped me.
I pushed the doors open and the maids froze as they saw me. They couldn't even greet me and I feared something was terribly wrong.
My heart started beating as I hurried through the house to the stairs.
"Miss Linda," the chief maid finally regained her voice as she ran behind me.
I was mid-way through the stairs and I turned to look at her but I didn't stop.
"What?" I didn't mean to sound found but my voice had a mind of its own.
"You can't go in there, ma'am..." She said shaking her head like there was a ghost in the room ahead.
"Why?" I queried as I took the final bend to his room.
"Aah..." I heard the sound and my legs paused as my brain made a flip.
I turned to the maid with raised brows. "What's going on?" My voice had dropped to a whisper.
"Please, you don't want to see what is going on in there..." The maid said but the sound resonated louder in the corridor.
"Barney baby!"
It wasn't even the fact that there were moaning sounds coming from Barney's room that broke me, it was the fact that I recognized the female voice.
"Yes! Ooh fuck yes..."
No, it couldn't be her.
My hands were shaking by the time I got to the room and pushed the door open.
My worst fears came to life.
"Susan!"
My heart exploded and turned cold all at once. I didn't know what to feel.
My half sister was on the bed with my husband, having sex!
Chapter 4: Linda's POV"Oh, yes... Don't stop!" Susan cried out as Barney continued thrusting his cock into her folds.They didn't even stop. It was like my presence meant nothing to them. Was this a dream?"Barney!" I screamed as the tears came streaming down my face like a broken dam."Keep going Barney baby... Ahh..." Susan moaned out as she turned to look at me while my husband, fucked her.I didn't know where the energy came from but I found my legs moving dangerously towards them. I snatched the bedsheet from their bodies and threw it on the floor."Don't you even feel ashamed!? How could you do this to me? Susan!" I screamed like a mad woman.My sanity was out of control and I was blinded by my pain.Barney got off the bed and moved toward me. I thought he was going to apologize but he did the unthinkable.A resounding slap echoed in the room and it took a couple of seconds for the sting on my right cheek to register in my head."You slapped me?" I asked in a voice that was tre
Chapter 5: Alex's POVThe moment I stepped foot in that pub, the sound of her laughter was the first thing I heard despite the music.Even as she pointed her finger at me and told me she wanted me to fuck her, I couldn't bring myself to stop.I got up and started to leave but she grabbed me by the arm."Where do you think you are going without me?" She slurred.The way she pulled her lips up to me made my body feel a warmth I have never felt before.Without a word, I pulled her along with me and took her to my car. My driver was shocked to see me with a woman but he kept to himself."Take us home," I said and the car zoomed off the pub's space."Why aren't you touching me yet?" She mumbled against my neck as we settled in the car."Relax, let's get you home," Came my soft reply.She wasn't in her right senses. She had taken more than twelve glasses of strong gin before I walked up to her."Hmmm, yeah... I can't wait," she mumbled.My body was getting excited the closer we got to the h
Chapter One: Linda's POVBeautiful flowers decorated the walls of the church and the music helped to dull down the hateful murmurs coming from the guests.It was my wedding day. I was supposed to be the happiest girl in the world but staying happy became an hassle.Barney squeezed my hands slightly bringing me back to the moment before us."I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," the priest said and the music increased in tempo as everyone rose to applaud us —or just Barney.Barney leaned closer and placed a soft kiss on my lips. "I love you, Linda" he whispered.I felt warm swim into me and my face broke into a bright smile. Barney's love for me was the only thing keeping me going.Nothing the world said could stand in my way. I wouldn't let it."I love you too Barney," I whispered as we held hands and started walking out of the church with rhythmic steps.As we got outside, the music of the church grew distant and the murmurs from the crowd got louder."She
Chapter 2: Linda's POVMy head started spinning as I tried to understand the underlining message in the note. Was it a joke?What could have come up that was so important that he couldn't tell me before sending me away like that?With shaky hands, I checked the small pocket of my dress and pulled out my phone. It had been on silence throughout the day.I saw a ton of congratulatory messages from my only friend, Hilda but that wasn't why I took the phone. I had to call Barney.I dialed his number and waited for him to pick me up.It rang for a couple of seconds but he didn't pick up.I stared at the phone wondering what was stopping him from picking up. He couldn't just bring me here and expect me to spend the night alone?Surely, there had to be an explanation. That note did nothing but increase my anxiety. It did nothing to calm me down.I tried the number again, but still the same thing, no one answered.Just when depression and negative thoughts almost swept me off my sanity, the p
