Make sure your mistress wears white.
Melinda Pov
“Look Linda, I’m not blaming you,I understand you but can you consider me too? Wini go outside and wait for me” Clark was saying while take a box from the table.
“Look, I saw something that’ll fit your wrist so well” he opened the box revealing the bracelet with tiny lilac stones in it.
So he knows what my favorite color is, but decided to play in my face for two and half years??
Somebody pinch me awake from this dream.
“I should consider you? This has got to be the funniest joke of the century” I eyed him.
“It’s not what it looks like Linda, it was a one time thing okay? And it happened. You’re a doctor you know it can take only one intercourse for a baby to happen” he said gently coming close to where I stood.
“Ha!... A one time thing you said” I mocked
He nodded trying to touch me.
“If you dare touch me, I can’t guarantee that hand will function again” man I feel like cutting his damn hands off.
“Want to know what interesting thing Clark? Winifred played a recording where you said I chased you, I admit that was true. Then you said I’m just an option for your image” I looked at him straight in his eyes.
“I was just trying to coax her, they’re merely words, you know she’s pregnant” he continued to rant.
“Now I know why you told me to wait till marriage, you’ve been sleeping with her, the excuses of you don’t want to be surrounded by paparazzi was just not to take me to a fancy dinner date” this stupid tears is about to fall again.
“Not at all Linda, I was just protecting us” he said jaw tight.
“We’ll talk about this later, I already released a statement that you got sick yesterday, and the wedding will be in two days, just cooperate” he said it casually.
“What did you just say?” Maybe I misheard him
He just shrugged.
This mad man! I needed something that would hold my strong resolve of not marrying you anymore, now I have it, i angrily wiped my tears away.
I looked at him calmly then said, "Then make sure your mistress wears white. She already picked the cake color. She might as well finish the job."
“I don’t want to see you again, this is the last warning Clark Bennett” I said wanting to leave
He looked taken back, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
He suddenly pulled my wrist, pain shot up in my wrist and lost my footing making me stumble and fall on the floor.
“You’re being stubborn Linda, don…” he was saying when Winifred yelped outside.
He immediately left me and ran outside to check on her.
I chuckled bitterly.
He cheated and manipulated me, and somehow I’m the stubborn one?
Wowww.. just wow!
He had only taken me to see his game where reporters and the journalist would snap me cheering him up and take photos of where he hugged and kissed me.
I thought he loved me publicly.
It was all a cheap PR stunt.
My stomach twisted, I needed to unleash my anger.
I angrily went back to my room, the picture frame I saw earlier, I climbed my night stool stand and removed it.
Staring at it with hatred and bitterness I hit it on the floor.
The glass immediately shattered causing some noise.
“Jesus, Linda! You hurt yourself, that bastard is not worth it” Anna said from my bedroom door.
When did she get in?
“come on, let’s go back…. The i***t left with his mistress” Anna said pulling me from the stool.
I removed the engagement ring from my finger and threw it on the shattered frame.
I looked around the room one last time, I took my credit card from the table and left the apartment.
Anna helped me with my bags and we left together.
The sweat on my face made my hair stick to my face. I’m grateful for it, because Anna doesn’t have to see me crying.
Recounting on the past, every necklace he got for me is either the gold or the one with a blue pendant.
Love is truly blind.
“we’re here” Anna said pulling me out of my thoughts.
My body feels numb and unalive.
I walked like a zombie into the house.
Collapsing on the bed I closed my eyes.
I feel drained and exhausted
“go to the second room and take a shower before you sleep my darling” Anna said tapping me
“I don’t want to” I refused
“Today’s nightmare is enough, wouldn’t want another nightmare in your dream, now get up and wash those tear stricken mascara off your face” she said pulling me up.
I reluctantly go up and went to her guest room.
She followed me in
“Thanks for everything Anna, you didn’t have to, but you did regardless” I said to her seeing the hot tub.
I expected her to leave me alone to bathe.
Instead she stood there.
“you aren’t leaving?” I asked.
“With the way you’ve been spacing out since morning? Not a chance” she added.
I sighed.
I’m done with all of this!
“anna?” I called with my eyes closed.
“I’m here” she answered
“Do you think I’ll recover from this? My mental health if f****d, I’m not stable emotionally, do you think I’ll ever recover?” I asked her.
“Yes you will, I understand you… but you must know that there is a better man out there that’ll want you and just you alone, Clark is just a fool” she said the last part with a scoff.
Another man??
Not sure.
If Clark thinks I’ll break with this, then he’s in for a long show, I’ll show him the woman he lost, I’ll show him how strong I am without him.
This is the last tears I’ll ever shed because of Clark Bennett!
How is it
Hopefully there's no loop this time
