Love Is Betrayal

Betrayed

CHAPTER TWO

~BECCA~

My eyes bulged out in shock at what I saw. Standing by the door was Kristen, dressed in a sexy red lingerie that clung to her body like sin.

“Kristen?” Avery and I yelled simultaneously. My Chief bridesmaid is the last person I expected to see here.

“Surprise! Surprise!” She folded her arms, a smirk on her lips as she stared at both of us. Her confidence was unmatched, like the chief bridesmaid and groom being in a house together on the wedding day was the most normal thing.

“ Kristen! What are you doing here? And dressed like that?”

“Are you slow or stupid? Why do girls wear sexy lingerie in a man’s house,”

Before I could process what I just heard, Logan appeared in the doorway, shirtless. He had an unbothered look on his face. I blinked as I stared at him. What the hell is happening here?

“What are you doing here, Becca? I already said I’m done with the wedding,”

I was stunned. Flagabasted. Confused. It didn’t make sense.

Wait a minute,” I let out a small laugh, still in disbelief at what I was seeing. “What do you mean we’re done? You wanted this! The wedding—“

“I don’t want it anymore, Becca. I’m not interested in being with a betrayer like you,” he interrupted, his jaw tight, fingers pointing in my face. “Please leave my house,”

“That’s right. He’s with me now,” Kristen dragged him closer to her and kissed his cheeks. “In fact, we just had hot s*x,”

“What? Logan, is it true?” My mouth flew open in shock. My whole body was trembling in betrayal. I was still in denial about what I was seeing.

“Yes,” he nodded and held Kristen’s hands in his. “She’s my woman now, so back off from our lives,”

I staggered back, trying to maintain my balance. The betrayal hurts like my heart was being pierced with a knife. I was in pain; shattered beyond words.

“Wait!” I swallowed the lump in my throat. “You mean you’ve been cheating on me with my best friend? Is that why you called off the wedding?”

I glanced from Logan to Kristen, who had an annoying smirk plastered on her face. I felt like grabbing her hair and pulling it off but I controlled myself.

“I called off the wedding because I can’t get married to a betrayer,”

“Are you crazy!” I screamed at the top of my voice, finally losing the composure I was maintaining. “We are supposed to be getting married today and here you are with my best friend, yet I’m the betrayer?"

I clenched my fist as another round of tears poured down my already swollen eyes.

“You know what you did, Becca. Don’t stand here and act like a saint,” Logan rolled his eyes nonchalantly.

“What the hell did I do?” I threw my hands in the air in frustration. “Tell me and stop beating around the bush”

He slowly walked up to me and grabbed my arm, looking into my eyes. I winced in pain as his fingernails dug into the flesh of my arm.

“You know what you did so I’m not going to tell you. Except, you betrayed me several times and you have a hard time deciding which one I found out,”

“W-What?” My quivering lips parted in confusion. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I held his hands, stroking them softly. He always liked it when I did that so maybe it would make him calm down and listen to me.

“Please, let’s sort this out. You know I would never betray you. Please—-“

“Let go of me!” Logan bellowed, yanking his hands off me with so much force that I staggered and almost fell. Luckily, Avery was able to catch me just in time.

“Logan—-“ I was already crying my eyes out.

“It’s over, Becca,” he interrupted sharply.

And with that, he went back into the house. Our six-year relationship can’t end like that! I didn’t mind forgiving him for cheating with my best friend. I just wanted him back. I was about to go after him when Kristen blocked my path.

“Sorry honey, but Logan is mine now,”

I paused. I can’t believe this is my best friend standing in front of me.

“ We’re childhood friends, Kristen! How can you sleep with her man?” Avery cried out.

“You were never deserving of someone like Logan, Becca. I introduced him to you, remember? He should have fallen for me but somehow, you sunk your claws in him! Sorry but not sorry, he’s mine now!”

She smirked and entered the house, slamming the door in my face.

I fell on the floor.

Where would I start from? What will I tell my family and friends waiting for me at the church? How can I move on when I love Logan so much?

I clutched my chest, bawling my eyes out. It hurts so freaking much, to be betrayed on the day you’re supposed to be the happiest.

“Let’s go, Becca. They’re not worth it,” Avery tried to drag me up. After several attempts, she finally managed to get me into the car and she drove off.

“So -this- is- it? It’s over?” I tried to catch my breath as my sobs interrupted my speech. My cheeks were damp from relentless tears, my eyes swollen.

“They’re both assholes,” Avery spat, her grip tightening on the steering wheel. “Logan has no sensible reason why he’s calling off the wedding and that’s why he tried to switch things around and call you a betrayer without telling you what you did,”

I bit my lip, looking out the window as a fresh round of tears poured out of my eyes. I could hear my phone buzz in the back seat and I knew different people were calling and texting to know why I wasn’t in the church.

I placed my hands over my ears, trying to block out the sound of the notification from my phone. It gave me a migraine and I began to feel anxious—exhausted—dizzy.

I didn’t understand what I was feeling and why I was suddenly in so much pain. I could feel myself slipping out of consciousness till I blacked out.

****

I slowly opened my weak eyes. I could hear the sound of a beeping monitor and could see my arm was connected to a blood pressure machine.

I swiftly sat up, my eyes darting around the room.

“I’m at the hospital?” I mumbled to myself. I suddenly remembered what happened throughout the day. How I found out my fiancé and best friend were having an affair and how I passed out in Avery’s car. I felt the pain all over again, and the hospital smell made it worse. All I wanted was to get out of here and breathe fresh air. I removed the wires connected to my body and left the room

I didn’t know where I was going, but my legs just kept moving. I found a quiet spot on a balcony and walked there. There was a small bench close to the terrace with a nice view of the city.

I sighed as I sat, staring into space. It’s crazy how my life became a mess in the space of a few hours. I was scared to check my phone because I knew there would be multiple messages from guests asking me questions about why I didn’t show up for the wedding. I wasn’t ready to deal with all of that.

“Life’s so shitty!” I cursed out in frustration.

“You have no idea,” I heard a male voice behind me.

I jolted up in surprise, staring in the direction of the voice. My eyes met with a tall sexy man. His brown eyes glistened in the sun as he walked towards me. His brown hair melted into his head and his sharp jaw gave him a masculine handsomeness I couldn’t explain.

“You scared me,” I placed my hands on my beating chest.

“You’re the scary one dressed in a stained wedding gown with scattered hair and smudged makeup,”

I glanced at myself and I could see that he was correct. I’m sure my face definitely looked worse with how much I cried today.

“Care to share why you look like a bride from a horror movie,” he glanced at me, a smirk on his face.

I exhaled. Right now, all I want is to rant. I guess there’s no harm in pouring out my heart, afterall, we’ll never meet again.

At least I hope so.
