It all began with a slap
I landed on the floor with a loud thud.
Oops my bad, you could have avoided that , but you love to embarrass yourself. Do you aways have to show people you were not brought up with wealth”
The lady speaking was my husband’s escort and my closest friend of the last two years, Mary Jane, whom I trusted with my entire being.
I have known her for a year and half, we were practically sisters, I knew she had eyes for my groom I just didn’t think she would show up to the reception party as his date especially after she was just in my hotel dressing room, where I cried on her shoulders, lamenting about how he left me at the altar.
What are you doing Mary, I yelled agitatedly attempting to collect the tail of my dress.
Who do you think you are to even call my name; you think you can just come from nowhere and snag up the finest man in K city by trapping him in a contract. You are nothing but a home wrecker and a liability. Jake was mine to begin with and you came in at the last minute to take him away from me.
" He doesn't love you; he barely wants to be seen with you in public, it's like he is ashamed of you. You even sleep in separate bedrooms."
Have you been spying on me and Jake? I asked bewildered that she knew so much about my private life with him.
“Do you think you are special just because you live in a multimillionaire apartment, need I remind you that you are only a waitress, Jake brought you from the gutter and made you a noble lady”
I also made sure to warn him about your shenanigans with older men, it's not surprising that he left you alone at the altar. She completed giggling.
I stood up and sent a smack flying across her face with my palm. That is for deciding to spy on me because of something you have deluded yourself into thinking belongs to you. The only reason you came here with Jake today was because you are his official escort and guess who just got married to him.
Me!
He is only and will always remain your boss I said angrily before storming out of the party. Looking at her made me feel a wave of nausea I couldn't bear.
A crowd of peering eyes had gathered to watch me storm out of the hall.
Today marks the 2-year milestone of my friendship with Mary Jane and for her friendiversary gift, I had made plans to take her shopping in my private jet to S city, the capital of K city and my hometown.
I was willing to share my secret with her and forget about all the times she made snarky comments about my background and my relationship. I was going to ignore all her seductive attempts at my husband; set her up with my brother and all this while she was spying on me.
I need to teach her a lesson but first I must speak to Jake and clear up all the misunderstandings that he may have.
I went straight to Jake’s hotel room determined to clear the air once and for all.
Yes, yes, make me c*m, baby, don't stop, right there, right there. I am close Jake, so close. "The Unkown voice moans ecstatically”.
There is no one at the door, you are just being paranoid.
You do not have a duty towards Sienna even if she was here, you don't love her one bit.
if you did you will treat her as good as you treat me. “She was only a replacement for me anyway” Her coquettish voice said.
I immediately recognised the woman’s voice to be Charlotte White. Jake’s famous Ex girlfriend.
This was a slap to my face
A bruise on my ego.
OfCourse he is screwing her on the night of our wedding. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, he broke all the promises he made; he said I would never have to worry about being disgraced but he goes ahead to do this.
He said I didn't have to worry about any girls, he promised that he wouldn't disrespect me, and he let that other woman call me her replacement.
It took all I had in me to not break down the door and confront the cheater.
It's bad enough that he left me at the altar, but cheating and sleeping with his ex-girlfriend who refused to marry him is another type of low.
It was three years ago, on that fateful day as I was working my shift at the hotel, A private proposal was being turned down. To be exact his proposal was being refused.
Charlotte rejected Jake's proposal because of her blooming modelling career. She wasn't ready to be committed.
Everybody was on edge; the media was spiralling out of control. It was the ultimate battle of who was going to inherit the Thompson’s empire.
While the sole inheritor was Jake Thompson, he was unmarried, always in the news for the wrong reasons, rumour had it his long-term girlfriend was going to become his wife.
It was the perfect time for me to get the man my heart desired. I swung into action.
I packed my bags, Informed my pilot and I moved to K city just in time to save his ass.
Did he think it was a coincidence that I was the only staff present at the private proposal or did he think it was normal for me to agree to a marriage of convenience with a man I had never met before.
I started chasing him since the first day I set eyes on him, I catapulted his dying business behind the scenes.
I sent different contracts his way to help him maximise profits.
I spent millions to remove him from all bad publicity so that he could inherit the Thompson empire and this is what I get in return.
