MY SISTER’S WIFE

THEUNSPOKEN

GABRIELLA’s POV

I went downstairs for breakfast. The silence was loud, I wanted to sink in the chair. I shared glances with Sebastian unwillingly, but the guilt must have been so strong. Maria kept asking me what was wrong, but I said everything was fine. Isa fed Sebastian a red velvet cake. She thought the silence was because we weren’t familiar with each other.

“Have another one more, my love, just one bite” she said, feeding him the cake on a tiny fork. He ate, avoiding my eyes as he could.

“You slept well?” Isabella asked me.

“Yes I did, it was a good night”

“Good, wanna share?”

“Share what?”

“How it went” she said, sipping tea.

“Well, I slept late. I went into the garden for some fresh air.”

“Garden? "How strange!” She said, looking at Sebastian. My heart sank

“What made you choose the garden?” Sebastian asked.

“The swing and the way the flowers smelt very good.”

“Good, honey, you are not going to see your friends today?” He asked Isa kissing her hand.

“I'm not sure. I thought about spending time with Gabriella. You were right, I think I need to open up a little bit,what do you think?”

“That's a good idea, but you always meet your friends on Sunday”

“Yes, I feel like not going today. Who cares anyway?”

“I do care, you know, we said not to change our schedules unless it’s urgent.”

“I have something for you, my love.” He said, starting into her eyes. I could see her becoming more relaxed and prettier.

One of his escorts came closer with a beautiful luxurious box and placed it in front of her. She looked at him, she touched the box gently.

“Open it” he said, kissing her hand again.

“What is it?” She said in the sweetest voice i have never heard her speak before.

“Just open” he said, looking at her just like the way he looked at me last night in the garden.

She opened it a beautiful shiny necklace and its earrings caught my eye. Oh, to be lucky, she wrapped herself around him and kissed him passionately,

“Thank you so much baby, they will go so well with the red dress you recently got me” she kissed him again.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” She asked me, beaming. For the first time, I saw her smiling at me. I gave her a quick nod.

“Oh, thank you my love” she said almost in a cry.

“Anything for my queen. Want to try them on?”

“Sure” she said, turning around and putting her hair in a bundle to try them on. Sebastian put the shiny diamond necklace on her.

“I think I need to see my friends today. They must see this, I'm wearing it today!” she said almost childishly.

“Of course my queen”

“Maria, come and help me to choose what to wear, my love? Want to come with me?”

“Sure let’s go”

They left the dining table and went upstairs. The anger was boiling in me. How did Isa end up with a perfect life? Servants a billionaire husband who loved her, who is perfectly handsome? She had every single thing while I, I was just a nobody, everything in my life was hell. I was prettier than her, smarter and younger than her. Why did she have to have it all while all I had was breadcrumbs?

When my sister left, I watched her through the window. Sebastian escorted her. I recalled what happened last night. I felt the guilt, but not for long. I longed for what happened. His arms held me so tight, and I almost felt like I belonged there. Why did he let me stay? Why did he plead with my sister? He wanted me? The gaze we shared last night wasn’t an accident even though he avoided my eyes as he could in my sister’s presence. I went all the way to fixing my relationship with my sister. I hope her husband never be another reason. It was hard to resist him. Maria knocked on my door.

“Come in.”

“The dinner is ready ma’am.”

“Thank you, Maria, is Sebastian downstairs?”

“No ma’am, he said I should bring the meal to his office.”

“So he’s not joining me?”

“I don’t think he will come downstairs to eat ma’am.”

“ Well, bring me a fruit salad then, I won’t go downstairs.”

“Sure, is everything okay?”

“Yes Maria, I just don’t want to sit by myself.”

“Alright, I’ll be back”

She left. A dark thought came to my mind. Can I go and see him? For what will I say? Maybe apologize for kissing him last night? I thought he liked it. What if I’m wrong, and he tells it to Isa? I would be in so much trouble. But he can’t. He’s not a baby, he knew that what we did was wrong, it was our little dark secret. I felt like I wanted more of it.

I left the room and went to Isa’ closet. It was heaven, it looked like a luxurious shop. I had never seen anything so impressive and expensive. I went ahead and picked a very beautiful black lingerie. I tried it on. It looked so perfect to me, I stared at myself in the mirror for minutes. A terrible idea came to my mind again. I thought of him touching me with this lingerie on. Wait Gabriella, you’re thinking about your sister’s husband touching you, you're literally standing in her closet wearing her lingerie. What has gotten into you?

I took it off and put it back in a hurry. I went to my room and met Maria in the hallway. She looked at me in disbelief because I looked like I was up to something, something not good.

“Everything okay?”

“ yes”

“I couldn’t find you in your room.”

“I was at the,,, balcony.” I lied

“Your salad is ready, in your room.”

“Thank you.”

My heart was beating fast. I turned on my phone. I saw four missed calls from Diablo. What did he want? I told him that my phone will be off for days.

He called again. I turned it off again.
