Evil plan

iselle’s pov

I heard the sound again, it was a moan.

I covered my mouth with my hand in shock. I softly opened the door only to see my husband nrolling in the sheets with Zara.

A self depreciating smile graced my lips, I shouldn't be surprised but why am I surprised, I knew he was cheating on me but I didn’t know who he was cheating on me with till tonight.

To think she wasn’t even going to be the surrogate mother of my child or rather the mother of Cyrus child.      

“I can’t wait for her to leave you,” Zara said as she stared at Cyrus with a seductive smile.

“You really think she’s going to leave,” Cyrus said with a smirk, he hugged Zara, “she doesn’t have the guts to.”

Zara frowned, she looked offended that I won’t be leaving anytime soon, “then will we continue to hide our relationship! I can’t continue to live like this besides, I’m pregnant with your child.”

A sharp pain seared through my chest at her revelation, she was fucking pregnant for him. I held my chest in pain as tears began to leak from my eyes.

“why are you so worried, don’t worry, the doctor told me she doesn’t have much time to live, when she dies, I’ll take her inheritance and marry you,” Cyrus declared with a smile.

An even sharper pain seared through my chest and a gasp escaped my lips, is shouldn’t be surprised by his train of thought but yet again I was surprised.

The innocent image of Cyrus when I met him and the image of him presently began to overlap in my mind. When did he change so much or was he always like this?

“Did you hear that?” Zara asked Cyrus to which he nodded.

“Who is there?” Cyrus said as he took a towel and tied it around his waist. I panicked, I needed to leave.

Only God knows what they would do to me if they found out I listened to their conversation, I might actually be announced dead in the news tomorrow. I didn’t trust my husband anymore, if he could discuss about me dying so easily then surely that he would have the guts to kill me.

I turned around to run only to collide to a hard chest, I raised my head only to see Ivan staring at me with those cold eyes of his. 

I momentarily forgot all about my sorrow, what was he doing here?

Ivan stared at me for a minute before pushing me to a corner then he opened the door wide. I stared at him in thought, how long was he standing behind me?

“it’s me brother,” Ivan said with a smile. I couldn’t see cryus expression but I could hear him sighing in relief.

“it’s just you, I thought it was my wife,” he replied in relief.

Ivan clicked his tongue, “the wife whose inheritance  you are plan to sntach, that’s so evil of you Cyrus,”

“between you and I, we both know you are the most evil one,” Cryus replied with a grunt. He began to whisper something to Zara but I couldn’t hear their conversation.

“You wouldn’t be offended if I actually stole your wife from you would you?” Ivan said with a smile, he glanced at me with a playful look in his eyes.

I stared at him in frustration, what exactly was he up too?

Cyrus kept was quiet, it was like he didn’t expect his brother to say such,

“Stop joking brother, it's not funny,”

“What if I'm not joking,” Ivan said with a playful smile. His smile might seem playful but I saw that dangerous glint in his eyes.

Everywhere turned silent.

“Even if you were, Giselle will never fall for the likes of you…we both know how she is,” Cyrus replied.

“Hmm,” Ivan hummed, he glanced at me with an emotion I couldn’t quite identify.

“I’ll be on my way then, enjoy your night,” Ivan stated, his eyes not leaving me for a second.

He didn’t wait for his brother to reply before he closed the door.

After he closed the door, I walked away immediately.

As I walked towards my room, I couldn’t help but notice that he had been following me.

I stopped walking walking then turned around to face him, “why are you following me?”

“I’m just making sure you don’t faint from shock?”

I frowned, if I didn’t see his expression I would have thought he was mocking me but he was not.

Surprisingly, he looked serious.

“I’m stronger than you think,” I replied with a huff.

He rolled his eyes, “you heard what my brother said, if you plan on staying then I must say you are stupid,”

“Calling me an stupid now,” I said as I tilted my head.

He clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, “I said you would be an idiot if you stayed, are you planning on staying with him…if yes then you are stupid,”

I huffed in disbelief, the audacity of this man was astounding.

I didn’t say anything rather I glared at him. I hadn’t even process the fact that my husband might be planning to kill me yet his elder brother was here annoying the hell out of me.

Ivan simply put his hands in his pocket then he smirked,

“Good night and make sure you don’t die from thinking too much, it’ll be an hassle to watch my brother fake cry,” Ivan stated then he walked away.

I released a a breath full of disbelief, shaking my head I walked to my room with a heavy heart.

I grabbed my phone from my nightstand then layed on my bed. I unlocked my phone then I started to look at pictures of my husband and I.

When exactly had he started to hate me so much that he only wanted my inheritance or had he never liked me enough from the beginning.

Tears began to fall from my eyes. It was good that I discovered his intentions or what would have become of me.

I had to leave here somehow but how.

I sighed. After thinking hard, I instantly texted my cousin, if something happened to me then at least someone had to know whatever happened tonight.
