Chapter 29
Tessy’s POV
I can’t believe this, no!!! this is not happening at all, I must be hallucinating. I cleaned my eyes but it’s real. I couldn’t move or say a word, I felt frozen, and the girls’ giggles and whispers grew louder.
One of them, a blonde with piercing green eyes, leaned in to kiss the others.
“We’re going to make him feel like a king,” she purred.
“No, more like a man,” another corrected, smiling seductively.
“As long as he spoils us rotten,” the third chimed in.
Their words cut through me like a knife.
My heart ached. Anthony’s involvement with these girls hit me hard.
Why did I think I was special?
The image of him showering me with gifts and affection now seemed tainted. I felt used and tears left my eyes.
Their laughter echoed through the room.
I couldn’t bear it anymore. Silently, I backed away because there was no need to remain there, I just knew it was my cue to leave and I wasn’t welcome there.
I didn’t know how to explain what I was feeling at that moment, I felt so betrayed and used.
I still couldn’t understand why he would cheat on me, with not just one but three ladies!! What on earth did I do to deserve such treatment?
I was a good girl to him and I was also faithful, no matter his excuses I don’t deserve such a treatment from him. I hate him so much and I hate everything about today. Thinking today would turn out into something I would love, I got upset by my father and now the man I thought was also in love with him is having someone else apart from me, it’s just too much to handle.
I didn’t know how I walked out from the Villa and entered a taxi back to my apartment with so much confusion.
I looked at the food I prepared with my heart, the joy, the happiness, the love like I made use of my heart to make sure I cooked his meal as a means to tell him thank you for always being there for me. Thinking I was going to surprise him, imagining how happy he would be to get it and kiss me, turning me to the bed to have sex, it turned out that I was the one that got surprised.
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes and the worst happened, we were stuck in traffic, it seems nothing was working in my favor today. My heart shattered into a million pieces thinking about the incident over and over again. I didn’t know the time I ended up crying inside the taxi.
“Are you okay, ma’am?” The taxi driver inquired and I nodded my head saying, “Yes, I am okay.”
“You don’t look okay to me ma’am, I have no idea what took place that made you sad but you need to find a reason to be happy, don’t ever let anything steal your joy, I always tell my kids that, and looking at you, you are just like my daughter.”
“I have heard you already thank you,” I replied and luckily the traffic cleared off and he headed in my apartment direction.
I looked at my phone expecting a call from Anthony but there was no sign of him trying to call, not even a text from him at all. Have I been chasing shadows thinking I was running after my lover? This is terrible.
We got to my apartment and the driver announced we were at my location but I thought about the whole thing, I can’t go home!! I will end up crying and what if Sophia tries to get the truth out of me? I might end up telling her the dirty affair I am having with the neighbor, it’s a no-no.
Thinking of the incident all over and over again, I found an escape route, EDDY!! I called him asking if he was present at his company and he replied yes and asked if I was okay as well.
I informed the driver to take me to his company immediately and he obeyed, starting his car and driving off to the new destination I gave to him. On our way, a heavy downpour took place with strange lighting. Am I cursed today? The only question I could ask myself.
Getting to his company, I rushed out of the car paying his money immediately and walking into the building. I was already soaked in the rain but I don’t care, as long as I am not sobering in my room. I just need to distract myself from doing some terrible things to myself.
I was directed to his office and when he saw the way I was shaking, he got up immediately rushing to my aid, “You are soaked, why didn’t you tell me to come get you??”
“It’s fine, I made food for you and I wanted to take you by surprise..” I forced a smile and he looked so happy knowing I said that but deep down this was supposed to be for his uncle and not him. I hate Anthony, I hate him with everything I have.
“Wow, I am short of words like you cooked for me? You got soaked because of me, thank you so much..” He added and I tried to be calm with a smile on my face.
He took the food from me and kept it on the table and he said to me, “Come with me!” I followed him to his private place in his office and he said, “You can change here but dry yourself with this while I order some clothes for you.” He acted so nice and gentle to me, passing me a new towel.
“Thank you so much, Eddy, I appreciate it.” I hugged him unexpectedly and he caressed my hair saying, “I just want you to know I mean well for you, I hope for the day you will give me a chance.” I unlock from the hug with a smile on my face.
“Thank you so much for what you did today, I least expected this from you.”
“I am your betrothed, remember?” I tried to make the conversation lively but God knows I am just trying to escape reality here.
Thinking about those ladies at Anthony Vila and what they talked about, I was filled with anger and jealousy. I didn’t know when I said to Eddy, “Stay with me!”
“Huh??” He was confused a bit and I took off my soaked clothes and made my move, “You like me right?”
“I like you so much Tessy and you know that…” I noticed he was getting affected by seeing some parts of my body, “Are you sure?” I asked in a husky tone, getting closer and kissing his cheek.
“Yes, I want… you Tessy..” He stuttered.
I need to get back at Anthony for everything he has done to me, I won’t let this slide, ever!!! He hurt me and I am going to hurt him back and let him know I am not affected by what he did and I am not jealous, never will I be so jealous, his loss!!!!
“If you want me like you said then what are you waiting for? Have me already!!” He suddenly kissed me and I was lost in my world of fantasy, I couldn’t see Eddy for who he was instead Anthony’s face kept playing in my head.
