Chapter 01
HEARTBREAK:
(Aileen POV)
If anyone had told me today would be the end of 4 years of trust I had with Liam, I would have spat at their faces and told them to go to hell.
Yes, that was how much I loved and trusted Liam with my heart. He was the man of my dreams, and he treated me as though I was the woman of his dreams.
I let go of the door handle weakly, and let the tears fall freely from my eyes as I tried to take in the unbelievable sight right in front of me. My heart could not stop racing, and my mind kept asking myself so many questions.
Was this real?
Why? Why Jessica?
This couldn't be the Liam I knew, could it? Because he loves me. He loves me so very much.
“L…Liam..”
Bile rises in my throat as I call his name,
They were both naked on the bed with beads of sweats rolling down their bodies, and while Liam had a sorry look on his face, Jessica had a scornful look as she stared at me with a smirk on her face. A smirk that told me it was about time I figured whatever abomination was going on between them out.
“Baby, please hold on, it's not what you think babe, I can explain.”
Liam rushed out of the bed naked- I always thought it was just me who should be seeing his nakedness, but I had no idea Jessica shared that part with me. He came towards me, but as he tried to grab my arm, I landed a slap across his face while he winced in pain,
“I don't want to hear it.” I started and sucked in whatever pain I was holding in my heart. Zena, my wolf, was fighting to be released so we could pounce on Jessica.
“Whatever stupid explanation you have for f*****g my selfish sister_,”
“Step sister, remember you're adopted.” Jessica corrected before I could complete my statement and gosh, I felt the intense urge to grab her hair and slam her face against the wall till she bleeds halfway to death. I shut my eyes to take in a deep breath and continue,
“I don't want to hear it Liam. It's over between us, and I'm calling off our wedding.”
I turned to walk away, holding back more tears from falling down to my cheek but Liam grabbed my arm tightly and I groaned out loud,
“Are you…’
“You wouldn't dare do such a thing, Aileen. You're mine, you're my mate. You started this. The lies and the secrets, you started this first so do not f*****g blame me for doing this.”
My eyes were soaked with tears yet to escape down my cheek, and gathering enough strength in my throat, I responded to Liam's accusations,
“What did…”
“How long were you going to keep hiding it away from me?” He questioned and bashed his fingers into his hairs in frustration, then he rubbed his face and sniffled,
“How long were you going to keep hiding the fact that you're infertile and you wouldn't be able to bear a child when we get married?”
What? How the hell did Liam find out about that? And what else? What else does he f*****g know.
____________
“That f*****g bastard! How dare he do that to you?” Nicole yelled at the top of her voice as she slammed the small glass on the counter,
I sniffled, but didn't utter any words in response as I kept thinking how Liam found out about my infidelity. Someone must have told him because I had always ensured to keep it a secret from him no matter what,
“He knows too.”
Nicole suddenly halted with her ranting and became quiet,
“He knows what?”
“He knows that I'm infertile, Nicole. I have no idea how, but Liam knows and he's going to try to use it against me so I wouldn't call off the wedding.” Tears rolled down my eyes and I couldn't control it, and Nicole moved her stool closer to me,
“I'm so sorry about this, Aileen. You were going to break the news to him before your wedding. I'm sure Liam must have found out from that b***h you call a sister.”
I nodded my head because I knew it would be none other person than Jessica.
“I just don't want to sit here crying over that f*****g bastard. He cheated on me with my selfish step sister and I want to do the same, Nicole. At least I'm certain he's going to call off the wedding if he finds out that I cheated on him.”
“What? When?”
I took the last shot, and cleaned the tears that has stained my face,
“Tonight.”
My gaze flung backward and I let out a smile when I saw a young man that caught my attention seated at the other end of the bar with someone close to him,
“With him. We'll pay him for the night and that's it.”
Nicole sighed, “Are you sure about this, Aileen?”
“I've never been sure about anything all my life, Nicole, and you know why? Because I'm infertile and I can't get pregnant. I can't carry a tiny little life in my arms nor can I call one mine.” I scoffed because I was going to hate myself for saying this,
“And my jerk fiance cheated on me with my foster sister so why not. I'll be in room 296, Nicole, and I want him in 10 minutes.” I said and began to walk away, swaying my hips sideways cause I was certain his gaze was on me,
I swiped the card I had earlier gotten before calling Nicole here and stepped into the room. With a deep breath in, I pulled off my jacket and threw it aside.
Memories of Liam and Nicole in bed earlier today replayed in my head and I felt hatred build deep down my heart. If there was a way, any way I could repay Jessica and Liam for hurting me in this manner, I would, but there was nothing I could do.
She was obviously our parents favorite because I was the adopted one and I had no idea who my birth parents were. I found out three years ago from my parents when we got into a heated argument that I was abandoned at their front door and I was supposed to be grateful my life was saved instead of always complaining about Jessica's wrong doings.
This time she went too far.
She crossed the f*****g line by messing with my relationship,
I clenched my fingers into a fist, and the sound of the door suddenly snapped me out of my trance,
I raised my head to see someone standing at the entrance, and he had a shocked expression on his face as he stared at me,
He wasn't just someone, he was f*****g as handsome as hell and for a moment, I had to hold my breath just believing he was real. He was in a black tuxedo, his hair was packed in a low man bun. It looked perfect but at the same time, messy, it was the perfect combination and indeed some tendrils escaped from the bun framing his hard muscular but insanely attractive face.
The only thing that ravaged my mind was to devour this man standing a few meters away from me,
Nicole had a f*****g better taste than me, and she sure did a nice job with this one,
I rose to my feet and began walking towards him,
“Excuse me, what the hell are you doing here?” He questioned, but once I was standing so closely next to him, I let out a smirk,
“Just shut up and f**k the hell out of me, handsome.” I uttered and slammed my lips on his instantly.
