Sound of heels filled the quiet hallway, Valerie checked her phone a message dropped in. “He is in floor 3, room 1803”, she scoffed a bit and replied back, “If he’s not in there it’s off with your head.”
Valerie Cross was on her way to catch her cheating fiancé. Unfortunately for him, he would not find a heartbroken fiancée waiting. She had been waiting for this for five years.
Five years ago, her father had threatened her with her mother’s inheritance if she did not marry Ben.
Seventeen years ago, her mother had died. Two months later, he brought his mistress into the house, and her son. The boy was three years older than Valerie, and had the same eyes as her father. It was obvious he was his child, an illegitimate child.
He told everyone that Valerie’s mother had been
the mistress, and that he had only been forced to be with her because she was sick. He tried to ruin her name, though the upper-class families did not buy it. But it did not matter.
He still won.
He used her mother’s things to keep Valerie in line. Her jewelry. Her letters. Everything that could remind Valerie of her.
Ben was one of those things Valerie wanted out of her life. She knew he was not the good man he presented himself to be, so she placed private investigators on him to catch him cheating. But he was too careful.
Until now. He had finally slipped up. Which was why she was here.
Valerie stepped into the elevator and tap in the floor number she was going to, she looked at her reflection and reapplied her red lip stick, a little smirk played on her lip.
She reached room 1803, and could hear muffled sound due to the poor sound proofing of the hotel.
The glee on her face couldn’t be hidden as she unlocked the door with the key card, she got from bribing the girl at the front desk.
She stepped into the room and carefully closed the door, clothes were scattered on the floor and she immediately started videoing, loud exaggerated moans and hitting of flesh came from the inside bedroom.
Valerie slowly made her way to the bed area and smiled in satisfaction as she watched her fiancé pound into some girl, she frown in disgust and found a comfortable spot to stay and capture everything including their faces.
“You’re so much better than that Valerie bitch.” Her fiancé whispered to the girl, Valerie faced turned cold and glared at him, holding herself from smashing the flower vase on his head.
She cleared her throat to get their attention but none of them answered her too lost in their pleasure, the girl opened her eyes briefly, she looked a bit shocked when she saw Valerie but it turned to a taunting smirk, she opened her mouth to moan wantonly but froze when she noticed the mocking look on Valerie’s face, then she noticed the phone Valerie held and realized she was recording, she screamed in fear and shock as she quickly pushed the man she was entangled with, he fell to the ground in disbelieve while the girl scrambled to cover her face and body with the soiled bed sheet.
Valerie glanced at the mess and stopped recording, she put her phone inside her skirt pocket, she looked at fiancé Ben who was now staring at her in shocked and disbelieve and a bit of fear.
She looked at his d**k and gave an unimpressive snort at least she dodged a bullet with that one.
Ben turned red and quickly stood up trying to find something to cover his lower half with, Valerie found a couch to sit on, she sat with her legs crossed elegantly.
Her etiquette teacher will be so proud.
“So this is what has kept you busy that you couldn’t come for the engagement dress fitting ?”
Ben cleared his throat and looked away in embarrassment, Valerie eyes turned cold this was the i***t her father wants her to marry, already disrespecting her before the marriage. She turned to look at the girl on the bed and stood up, she wanted to see who he got involved with. She removed the bed cover with a pinch of her finger and watched the girl tremble in ‘fear’ but there was a smug look on her face.
“From everyone one you could cheat on me with, you picked her?” Valerie pointed at the girl on the bed in disgust, “ W-wa-wait, l-let me explain” Ben stammered out.
“You could have picked anybody among our circle, but you picked an illegitimate child!” Valerie was a bit pissed because she was reminded of her father’s cheating and her half brother, she looked by her side and spotted a lamp, she pushed it with her finger and it fell on the floor, breaking into pieces scaring the two fornicators.
The girl screamed in fright, while Ben moved away so that the glass won’t cut him. Valerie eyes looked at them mockingly, she didn’t even use a bit of her strength.
“Are you f*****g crazy?” Ben yelled looking around for something to wear, Valerie stared him and wondering how someone stupid could be born into the Cross family.
“Am I crazy ? No I’m just embarrassed on your choice of a bed partner!” Valerie could hear the mocking voices of the women from the upper families, the girl Alice broke into pitiful sobs as she threw herself at Ben, Valerie rolled her eyes in annoyance at the drama happening.
“Miss Valerie you can insult me or hit me, I know you’re angry I slept with your fiancé. But we couldn’t help ourselves we fell in love.” Alice soft but mocking voice said still holding unto Ben, Ben held her with a fawning look on his face but still glared at Valerie liked she was the third party.
“It’s okay Alice, I will break my engagement with Valerie and marry you, it’s you I love and no one can stop us from being together.” Ben declared with a righteous look on his face placing a kiss on Alice lips.
Alice looked so happy and held Ben tightly throwing a provocative smile at Valerie.
“But what about Miss Valerie?” Alice asked with an ‘innocent’ look on her face, Ben snorted ,“I don’t care about her, it’s you I love.”
Valerie stared at their one man show in disgust, ‘at least he was making things easy for her. Everything is going according to plan.’
“Ben, you better keep your word about breaking the engagement.” Valerie warned in a firm voice and turned to leave, if she stays here longer she might hurt somebody.
As she turned to leave her hand was grabbed by a soft but firm hand, her face immediately twisted in disgust as she turned to meet Alice grinning face, “Miss Valerie I wan…..” but Valerie pushed her away before she could pull off another performance, with an exaggerated scream Alice fell backward and began to cry Ben immediately rushing to hold her.
“Valerie! I know you like me but that doesn’t mean you’ll hurt the one I love!” Ben yelled still holding his crying mistress who in turn gave a taunting and victory smile.
Valerie sigh and turned to leave she didn’t feel like wasting breath with two worthless people.
“You’re going to beg to have me back.”Ben yelled at her a bit angry that Valerie wasn’t reacting the way he thought she would.
Valerie turned back in annoyance she couldn’t hold back. “Beg you? Please the whole five years of our engagement were the worst f*****g years of my life, I’ve been looking for ways to end this joke and you delivered one to me free of charge, so yes Ben I f*****g hate your guts.”
