THE MOON'S FALL

Chapter Four

Adriana's Pov

" Ella wait, you don't know what you saw" I called behind her. she ran into the hall crying. I was still running after her.

" Sis please listen to me", I begged. At this point the hall was pin drop silent. she turned to look at me. Her eyes were tearing. " For someone who claimed he was gaslighting me and cheating, you sure do a better job at it". She paused and moved closer to me.

" I never expected this from you. I thought you loved me but obviously you love tasting him more than you love your own sister" with that before I could say anything, he moved forward and spoke, " We are sorry. we didn't want you to find out this way".

Anger coursed through my body like fast rising electric waves "ARE YOU MAD. THERE IS NO 'WE', NEVER HAS BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE. Sarella I have nothing with your man. I can't stand him and you know it. What you think you saw was a set up. I would never hurt you like that and especially not on Luis wedding day", I tried explaining.

" Babe there's no need to keep hiding. She already knows" hearing the s**t he just said, I lost it and lunged at him. I sent a hard punch across his face and he fell to the ground.

" if you don't shut the f**k up and stop spewing lies from your mouth, I'll kill you right here and now and damn whatever the consequences may be", i told him.

" What in God's name is going on here", Dad stepped forward to ask. The murmuring was getting louder.

"Ask your beloved daughter what she was doing in the lady's room practically eating my fiance's face", she answered looking at our Dad.

Confusion was evident in my dad's features. I turned to face my sister " firstly, I didn't kiss your man, he kissed me. I would never settle for a piece of s**t. it's saddening that you did and I feel bad for you. He really knows how gullible you are that's why he can pull a stunt like that in the toilet", I said to her face.

She came up to me and before I could register what was going on. I felt a sting on my face. she slapped me. She just f*****g slapped me.

Anger was coursing through my body like a fast electric current. I lunged for her, I was no longer thinking straight. I never lose my composure especially not in public but all I could think of right now is how many ways I could hit some sense back into her body.

Before I could reach her, I felt a pair of arms on my waist pulling me back. " Calm the f**k down, she is pregnant " Jeremy shouted in my ear. Jeremy was the only person who knew how f****d up Jeffrey was. I told him everything he did and said around me. one day he heard for himself the crap the nigga had to say. I was still struggling out of his hold. I really wanted to return the favour to her.

" Jeremy get Adriana out of here right now. Sarella house now" Dad commanded.

Jeremy literally pulled me out of the hall to the car. The drive back home was silent. I needed to let off steam before going to the house. I wouldn't fight him because the amount of rage bubbling inside me could kill and I still needed his baby ass around.

" Take me to the crib" I announced in the midst of the silence.

He nodded without saying a word.

As soon as the car stopped I rushed out of it, the silence in the car was sickening. My thoughts were all over the place.

I got into the Crib and went to my wine collection. I picked out my strongest wine, popped the bottle and took a large gulp out of it. When I felt the alcohol kick in, I went into my panic room and set the timer for two hours.

Jeremy helped me build the crib two years ago. The place was like my safe haven, my little getaway when I needed to cool off or think straight. The wine were selected by Jeremy, while the panic room was arranged by me.

I went to the shelf and picked up a hockey stick and went straight to the glass bottles on the table. I standed smashing them to pieces. I am actively trying my best to release all the bad energy in me.

it went on for 2 hours, then the timer beeped. The doors opened and Jeremy walked in " feeling better?", he asked. " I feel a lot lighter (walking out of the panic room). let's have a drink. I picked another bottle from the refrigerator. We drank for some time before heading back home.

Once we passed the gate, I could see Luis standing at the front door waiting with a stern look.

Jeremy parked the car and we walked towards the front door.

" Where the hell have you been and why do you reek of alcohol" he asked. " I just want to go to bed " I said walking passed him l. " unfortunately princess, Dad is waiting for you in his office and he is not in the best of moods" he told me.

I got into the house and went straight to my dad's office.

" Oh! the slut finally decided to come back home" Sarella spat at me.
