Tears of Betrayal

Chapter 1 Anabel’s POV When I arrived at the airport, it was already 3:00 pm. Today is Christmas and I want to surprise my husband by coming back to spend the Christmas with him. By the time I reached home, it was already 4.00 pm. The villa was so quiet and I wondered where my husband Javier had gone to, our housekeeper Willow and they other staff had travelled to spend the holidays with their families and he should be the only one at home, when I didn’t see him downstairs, I headed upstairs on getting to the master bedroom I paused, I was hearing whispers inside, though I couldn’t hear what was being discussed. Who could Javier be talking to, not thinking much of it I pushed the door open and entered, I froze at the scene i saw inside. You couldn’t believe it, my husband was having an affair with my friend. Are they playing prank on me or what. “Javier”, I shouted when I finally snapped out of my daze . That was the only time they notice me, they both were shocked when they saw me, they quickly composed themselves after some seconds. Javier got up, put on his clothes and covered Mia with a blanket before walking past me and headed outside. Yes , you heard that right my husband walked past me without bothering to explain or apologize. “Javier, Mia, what’s going on here?” I asked. “Ann, I didn’t mean for you to find out this way, Javier is the father of my son and he has been in love with me and not you,” Mia responded. I couldn’t even bother with her I follow Javier outside.”Javier, what’s going on ? What is the meaning of this? what were you doing with my friend in our matrimonial bed ?” I questioned. “You heard what she said,” Javier replied indifferently. I stared at him for a long time is this really the guy I have been married to for two years, maybe he is just pranking me, I assumed. I laughed it off, “babe i know you are just pranking me,where did you hid the camera?” “Anabel, this is not a prank, and there is no camera. I’m sorry that you have to find out this way, but this marriage is not working, I don’t love you anymore, the one I love is Mia, I plan to tell you when you return, I didn’t expect you to come back today and meet us together,” Javier said nonchalantly. My husband actually told me to my face that the one he loves is Mia, without even caring about my feelings. Even though the truth was staring at me, I still couldn’t believe it. My Javier can never cheat on me. “Babe, I know I was wrong i should have come back yesterday but the business deal didn’t go as planned,” I explained as I tried to hug him, but Javier pushed me away forcefully, without even caring whether i would hit my head on something. The man that actually said he can’t do without me just pushed me away, how painful? Just then Mia came downstairs after dressing up ,and went straight to where Javier stood and kissed him. That was when it dawned on me that this is not a prank anymore but they are serious, I pinched my self to confirm if I’m dreaming, but realized it’s real when I felt the pain. When did Javier turn into a monster, this is the same man i help become what he is today, someone who cause my parents to disown me because they were against our marriage, yet despite everything I married him because I love him. For three good years I loved Javier, and this is what I got . Or should I even talk about Mia who is supposed to be my good friend, i met Mia during our university days and I have been helping her financially since then, and she chose to pay me back by sleeping with my husband. “Ann, i know you are angry, but Javier doesn’t love you and love can’t be forced no matter how you try, you made Javier marry you, even though he doesn’t love you and yet after two years he still couldn’t love you. Javier and I are in love with each other and I hope you understand,” Mia said. Hearing this i was shocked, Mia has been my friend for five years now and she knows everything about me and Javier, right from how I met Javier to our marriage, even when my parents and my best friend Claire tried to stopped me from marrying Javier, saying Javier isn’t good for me and is only after my money, Mia was the one who encouraged me to follow my heart. At that time i thought she was the only one who understands me. Javier was so caring, and lovely, he treated me like I’m the only woman in the world, he always tells me everyday how he loves me and will never abandon me, he was the one who proposed to me first, even though I wasn’t ready for marriage then, I still accepted his proposal and married him, how did it turned into me forcing him into marriage when he doesn’t love me. At this point I couldn’t be bothered with them anymore, I couldn’t just stand here and Argue with them I needed alcohol to clear my mind, I glanced at the two of them who were busy kissing without acknowledging my presence, before heading outside, I picked up one of my car and drove to a bar. On getting to the bar i ordered one bottle of wine after another until I got drunk, even when I was drunk, I couldn’t stop drinking, it was just like I wanted to drink away all the pain I felt inside. Even though I appeared strong and didn’t break down in front of them, I’m in pain, I feel heartbroken and hurt, the only way to find comfort is in alcohol. I ordered for more drinks and began to drink directly from the bottle, as I tried to grab the next bottle someone held the bottle down and soon after,A very deep yet sexy voice said in my ear “do you want to kill yourself.”
