SHATTERED ILLUSION

The front door swung open, and there he stood, a smile plastered on his face but it was like a dagger to my heart , he never smiles with me like that , Behind him , a woman came forward , radiant and charming even her laughter sounding like the echo of the ocean screaming danger ! ringing like a cruel melody I thought back to this morning when he was exceptionally sweet it felt like a distant echo , the woman looked at me pitifully with a hint of pity and something unreadable in her gaze . " Hey I brought someone home he said his voice too casual and cheerful I smiled brightly with my heart racing let me introduce her; Oprah meet Alison , Alison meet Oprah. She stretched out her which I took showing no hint of nervousness nice to meet you Alison he must have forgotten to add, I am his wife oh well I am his first and only lover she said whispering in my ears, shoving back my feelings I insisted let me help you upstairs so you could settle in and join us for dinner , helping her to the guest room , this is where you will stay , what ! I am supposed to stay in the guest room yes otherwise do you intend to stay in our matrimonial room , No I mean I want Ryan's room well Alison, Ryan's my husband and I don't think a lady of your standard would want to share a room with somebody's husband , well do get all cocky you want Oprah, Ryan will never love you , all he loves and think about is me , well I don't think his heart matters to me after all I am the one with a status and a marriage certificate not you Alison, oh please do freshen up quickly and get down .

Slamming the door shut I tried to keep my tears from falling , I went downstairs Ryan we need to talk , about what ? Well about the fact you brought a total someone home and you didn't think to let me know about it really Ryan , last time I checked I own this house Oprah so do I need to let you know of every move of mine ? But I am your wife! only in name Oprah you know I don't love you and never will ,that woman upstairs is the one I love . As the tension thickened his expression becoming serious with coldness creeping in his tone" you are just a wife on paper

His cold reminder washed over her like a bowl of cold water "just a wife " echoed bitterly on her tongue. In that moment she knew she had to reclaim her life and prove to be more than just a wife, in the corner she sighted Alison with a smug look on her face saying I told you so , tears pooled in her eyes making her look pitiful with her eyelashes wet making her look all cute looking at her small oval face, Ryan's voice though a little bit soft I have always known you were more than that more like giving a beggar alms with disdain creeping in his tone . I Oprah will not be defined by to perception she declared ,her voice stable despite the turmoil inside. Ryan feels a flicker of admiration for strong headed behavior bit dismisses it as she was just pitiful.

As Oprah stood firm , Alison hiding , felt a sense of despair as she never expected Oprah to be strong willed , others might not

know but Ryan had a thing women with strong will , she had only managed to capture his heart by pretending to be a strong headed person also cunningly acting soft , at the moment she was torn between the desire of stepping forward and the fear of being discovered.

You think am just a trophy Oprah's voice raising , you think am not capable of more than what you see?

He hesitated , his expression flickering with doubts "it not that easy" he replied but Alison could see a small smile on his face , a smile when had he ever smiled at anyone else other than her.

" I Am not going to let you belittle me" she pressed on , I have dreams , ambition Don't think that being married to you gives you or anyone else the right to dictate my life.

"I have spent my life living in my parents shadow and now that I manage to get out of it , I am not going to leave in yours with a hint of defiance she walked upstairs where she meets Alison oh there comes the legal wife Oprah, hahahaha I told you what's not yours can't be yours , you are just a pawn in this game of love triangle and I will win don't bother trying sweetheart . Oh how great the mighty impressive supermodel Alison has stooped so low to share a man with me , impressive right , "Face it " she taunted Ryan's mine Oprah , Goodnight have a good rest of course you know a model needs her beauty rest.
