“You tasted as I imagined you would Lina, I love you”.
It was like she had been drenched with cold water as her eyelids flew open. Recalling what she heard just now, and knowing that she didn’t mistake his words for something else, she felt her throat tightened.”
“Don’t tell me he was thinking of that bitch as he was having sex with me?”. She asked herself. Tears streamed down her face like broken beads as the answer rings a bell in her ears.
Thinking about how gentle he was as they were having sex just now, and remembering that since the day they started engaging in this type of activity, he had never been gentle with her the way he was today.
He always did it with her fast and rough. She felt bad as she thought about who Daniel was thinking about as they were having sex just now.
Thinking that it was the alcohol he drank that made him confused, her restless heart calmed down as her tears ceased from flowing. But after remembering what she heard somewhere, that people always say the truth and what it’s in their mind when they are drunk, she felt even more wrong.
She had not had sex with a drunk Daniel before. When he didn’t say anything as they were having sex, but using his actions to shows he understood what she wants as they had s*x, she thought it was because he was drunk, maybe that’s how he react to s*x when he is drunk.
The Daniel she knew when he was sober is always proactive during sex, saying different types of slutty words, which turned her on even more at that moment. It’s not that she didn’t enjoy the sex they have just now, it’s just that this feeling was new to her.
She didn’t know this gentle side of him. Remembering what he said after the s*x, she knew that this gentle side of him is for someone else, which is none other than her sister. Thinking about this, she felt disgusted.
With all her efforts for all these years, he still fell in love with that bitch. How can this be possible with all the way she had slandered Lina to Daniel, if there is anyone who would hate Lina the way she hated her again, that should be Daniel, but what did she hear from his mouth just now?
He claimed that he loved her sister ( Lina) and she tasted just like he imagined, which meant he had been thinking about doing this with Lina for a long time. What about her then? If he loves her sister like he claimed just now, what did he feel for her then? No matter what she felt for Daniel before, she knew from now on, she had to work harder to destroy that bitch, or else she would snatch Daniel away from her.
Daniel, who is drunk, and doesn’t know what he had done, has fallen asleep on her body. A grown person lying on her, she didn’t feel comfortable. She struggled to move his body that was lying on her, she finally succeeded pulling herself underneath him.
Formulating a plan on how she would destroy Lina, so as to make Daniel hate her and also ruin Lina entirely, her lips curled up. Let’s see how you will raise your head up high after I’m done with you, she smiled devilishly.
Since the sofa is wide enough for both of them to occupy, she didn’t know when she fell asleep beside him.
___
Palm groove district,
At Lina’s apartment,
6:00 am.
A woman could be seen curled up on the bed as she covered herself with a thick duvet. “No Daniel! You can’t do this to me. How dare you scheme against me with my step sister?”
She shivered as she said this. Some beads of sweat could be seen forming on her forehead. Even though the air conditioner was on, she was still drenched in sweat.
“What was my offence that you think the best way to punish me, is to make my life miserable by dating my step sister, and also to take away my mother’s last possession (legacy) away from me.”
She said this with pain in her heart, as she stood in front of him confronting him. Looking at her first love with hatred, even if she already knows the answer to her questions, she still wants to hear it from his mouth.
She shouted as she looked at the man with tears streaming down her face. She looked pathetic and broken. Watching herself cry, she couldn’t help but mock herself for being a fool to cry for someone that is not worth it. But the pain she is feeling at the moment won’t make her tears cease.
Standing up from the one seater sofa he was sitting on, Daniel walks slowly towards her. Any step he takes, she also takes a step back. She didn’t know when her back touched the wall. Fear of him looming over her was so strong that she doesn’t know when she loses her composure.
“Did you want to know the reason I did that to you?” Raising her head and seeing his handsome face up close as he trapped her between himself and the wall, she felt her heart shaken.
Even if she wants to kill the feelings she had for him completely, she knows it can’t be done so quickly. He had been her male god for three years. How could her heart still not flutter seeing that handsome face of his.
“The reason I did that to you was because I just don’t like…”
He hadn’t finished his sentence when she was awakened by a loud noise outside her apartment. Still shivering, she opened her tear filled eyes. Her face was very pale.
Touching her face that was covered in tears and sweat, she asked herself; “what happened, why am i crying?”
Recalling her incomplete dream that was disrupted just now, she cursed the intruder in her heart. Even if it was a dream, it felt so real that she thought she just experienced it.
Remembering Daniel’s cold voice as he speaks to her in her dreams, she clutched her nightgown tightly with her hand on her chest.
Even though it was a dream, and she already knew the reasons why he was pretending to love her, she still wants to hear his reasons on why he did that to her, but remembering his ferocious and I don’t care attitude, she knew anything he would say would be what she already expects.
After getting over her thoughts, she got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. She rinsed her mouth, and also washed her face. She was planning on not bathing that early, but thinking about something important , she decided to take her bath.
As she was taking a shower, her phone was buzzing nonstop.
Her phone was on silent mode, so she didn’t hear the sound coming out of it. Even the tiniest vibration didn’t enter her ears. As she finished taking her shower, she went to her closet to get some comfortable home wear for herself.
Putting on her clothes, she went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for herself. Thank goodness she always stays in this apartment all the time. It can be said that since she got admitted into the university, she stopped going back to her father’s house regularly.
Instead of going home for holidays, she prefers staying here. And since no one cares about her well-being, none of her family members has ever found out she stays here.
She had a caretaker who takes care of everything in this place. Knowing she might come home anytime, the freezer is always filled with fresh foods.
Since she had planned to have a new beginning, and not bother snatching back what had been taken away from her already, she decided to forget all that happened as a bad dream.
It’s not that she forgot everything just like that, it’s just that all her plans won’t be put into action for now. Putting it on hold was the best solution right now. All she wants to deal with now is the contract marriage she accepted on impulse.
Though she didn’t forget about what will be reported on the news today, it’s not that she isn’t scared about people bashing her, it’s just that she had to fill her empty stomach, so she can have strength to deal with all the mental and physical stress that is about to come.
