Witnessed

SYLVIA we were all seated in the living room of the Tores’s, I was the only one from my family who was present, the rest were Mr Tores himself, Thomas, Andrew and Thomas's mother, Claudia. The whole discussion was about settling the dispute between Andrew and his brother.. Mr Tores disagreed deeply with Andrew for calling his brother a gigolo right in the middle of his wedding… I continued to listen to them speak while I said nothing, I just couldn't get my mind off the fact that I've slept with Andrew. I was so scared for myself and was thinking about my fate in his hands… I have vowed never to let any other man touch me as long as he did. Thinking that one finally escaped him, I found out that I'm married to his younger brother… It was an absurd situation and I couldn't stop pondering… “Sylvia..” I heard Mr Tores call out my name. “Yes, sir” I quickly answered, getting out of my cloudy mood so they wouldn't suspect something.. I have to act fast in order not to allow myself to get caught up in Andrew's mess. “Welcome to the Tores family, I'm so sorry you had to witness this. I'll send for a maid who will escort you to your bedroom.. I hope you enjoy your stay here” be said to me in a polite manner. However, something tells me that he was not a polite man and was only pretending to keep a good impression of himself… I stood up from my seat immediately when the maiden arrived.. and I walked towards her. “Ma'am, I'll be your escort” she said with a frowning demeanor at me. There was something suspicious about her but I tend to ignore it and just accept the fact that no one liked me here because I was new. Earlier, I heard Mrs Tores badmouthing me to her maiden. I guess she doesn't like me either… I ignored all the advances made towards me while I moved on with the maiden. “Sylvia?” I heard Mr Tores call out my name again, making me pause to listen to him. “My son will be late tonight, I'll have to discipline him before he'll come to you.” He explained. I was speechless. What did he mean by disciplining him? I dared not ask any questions… “yes, sir” I agreed to his words. I turned my face away after coincidentally meeting Andrew's glances. I was too scared to let anyone notice that something had transpired between us… As the maiden escorted me to the bedroom, I couldn't stop thinking of a plan to get rid of Andrew and how to make him forget about last night… I didn't want anything to happen between my relationship with Thomas since I've decided to accept him. And also, my father warned me not to cause any trouble for him… The bedroom was at the end of the hallway of the West hall according to the directions explained by the maid. We reached there in no time and I was asked to settle down until my husband came… I took my seat on the bed while I reminisced on the night before today.. Everything about my encounter with Andrew started to reply in my thoughts as I couldn't get my mind off it.. he was too good to be true, I wondered how his brother would be.. “What the f**k, Sylvia?” I asked myself rhetorically.. I couldn't be thinking of sleeping with Thomas too after I've done it with Andrew. Although I couldn't escape it, I was married to him and he was bound to have me sooner or later. I planned to skip having anything with time tonight. First, I had to relieve myself from this uncomfortable wedding dress. I checked the time and it was about 8 p.m, I had changed into a nightie and had freshened up.. I was feeling a bit comfortable with my body but not with my head. There were so many things I thought of. What if Andrew says something about us? What should I do? I stood up from the bed, interrupting my comfort and I walked towards the drawer to get my mobile phone which I'd kept there earlier.. I just wanted to hear my thoughts off all these at least for a short moment. I'd surfed the internet for a short while before the network went off. What the heck? I put on something appropriate and I went outside to see if I could get a network on my phone. I checked the time again, I hoped to return before Thomas did… I strolled through the hallways, not practically having anywhere in mind to go, I just allowed my legs to lead me wherever they could. The network on my mobile phone came and I could surf a little, watch reels and get myself entertained for a while. While passing through the hallway, there were many bedrooms in the mansion and I noticed that each bedroom had numbers on them. This wasn't a hotel so I wondered why they made it that way… I continued until a sound got my attention, making me halt my steps in fear. I grabbed my mobile phone tightly and I moved closer to one of the bedrooms with the number ‘887’ indicated at the top. The noise sounded like the cries of a grown up man. I was more curious to know why so I leaned closer to the door in order to listen. All of a sudden, I could hear the man pleading and then the sounds of a gunshot… my blood froze in the spot, I didn't even think of moving as my brain tried to digest what I've just witnessed. Someone was just killed…. Soon, there were footsteps approaching the door from inside the bedroom, my body was still frozen but I felt a huge arm grab and pull me away at once. He was quick to take me to a corner to hide just before the Person inside the bedroom came outside to catch me eavesdropping… I shut my eyes closed, holding my chest in fear of getting discovered. My heart beated faster as I heard more footsteps passing, the man in front of me blocked them from seeing me… After the whole noise was down and everything had ended, I looked up to see who had saved me, unexpectedly, it was Andrew.. I frowned and pushed him off me. “Get away from me Andrew Tores” I yelled… “Keep your voice down or they may return” he cautioned me.. “What do you want from me? I'm married to your brother, you know” I tried to remind him that he had to keep his distance.. I didn't want to stir up any trouble… I tried to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back into facing him. “Sylvia… we need to talk.” “Talk about what? Please let go of me, Andrew” I begged him, forcing my hand from his grip since he wouldn't let go… “You know it's difficult for you to pretend as if we didn't f**k last night” he said… “You have no shame, Andrew'' I said with so much irritation in my voice.. I tried to walk past him again, he had his hand crossing my face, pinning my on the wall behind us.. “Talking about shame, do you even have any? The same woman who I've just f****d last night got married to my brother today and what are you expecting? To have a beautiful wedding night and a peaceful married life. Sylvia, you should know better” “What do you want?” I asked him.. he leaned closer to me which I couldn't resist because he'd pinned me against the wall.. “Is it money? Mention the amount and I'll give it to you. I'll do anything to make you forget about that night” I said to him.. “I want you, Sylvia.. I want to have you on my bed again. Remember our deal? It's not that easy to let you go into the arms of another, especially when he's my brother” I hissed at his words, he must be joking.. “You can never have me again, Andrew. Just face it” I said. “Let's see about that, Sylvia…” “Get off me” I pushed Andrew away and I headed back to my bedroom… somehow, I lost my way, I didn't know the room number or the places I passed to get to this hall… I started to see if I could trail my steps or something. No one even passed by, no one at all for me to get directions from. Soon, I reached the front of a bedroom which I assumed to be mine and I was about to get inside… the sounds of a woman's moans got my attention, and I realized that it couldn't be my bedroom… I wanted to leave but the man giving her pleasure spoke, and I easily recognized his voice and stopped at once.. The door wasn't fully closed so I couldn't peak into the bedroom to find out who it was. I know it was bad for me to Snoop at someone but I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.. I could see the golden blonde hair of the maiden who had escorted me to my bedroom earlier and somehow, she seemed to be so focused on pleasing the man in front of her. I tried to look but I could barely see him properly.. I leaned closer, and then, I finally got a view of his face.. “Thomas?” I called it in fear, completely stunned by the scene I've just witnessed…
