Chapter 1: The Betrayal
In a poorly-lit room, the heavy breathing of a man and the moaning of woman came one after another, a pair of figures entwined on the sofa with their clothes scattered all over the floor.
The scene on the sofa was erotic, and the air was filled with the sound of a couple making love.
And lying on a nearby bed was a woman with delicate features and beautiful appearance. She seemed to be asleep, but her face was pale, and there was an oxygen tube in her nose. The instrument showed that the woman's heart rate and heartbeat were rising rapidly!
That was in the best private hospital in Boston, and inside the most expensive health care ward. The woman lying on the bed was Roslyn Brandon who was a well-known rich heiress in the city and the only daughter of the Brandon family. The man and woman making love on the sofa were her fiancé, Kevin Trenton, and her bestie, Lilly Brown.
Roslyn Brandon had been diagnosed as a vegetative state after being involved in a car accident half a month earlier. Kevin, her fiance, had vowed that he would serve his fiancée for the rest of his life. In the name of taking care of her, he secretly had s*x with her bestie in the ward!
The two people on the sofa were so absorbed that they did not notice the abnormality on the electrocardiogram. After they finished making love, the numbers on the electrocardiogram showed normal.
Lilly put on her clothes, lazily lit a cigarette, and sat down by the bed to mock Roslyn.
"Dear Roslyn, you are beautiful, so what if your family is rich? Isn’t your fiancé still ecstatically captivated by me, but you consider yourself so pure that you won’t even touch me? Is there a man who will cherish you in your comatose state? Sounds funny, don't you think?" She chided, blowing the smoke from her cigarette over the patient's face.
The light blue smoke rings sprayed on Roslyn's face, and Lilly's face was full of pride.
"Don't you hate the smell of cigarettes the most! I'm smoking next to you now, what can you do to me?" She contemptuously posed.
While she was doing all this, Kevin was simultaneously hugging her from behind, his hands caressingly touching her body with blatant desire. He was not ready to be left behind in making a mockery of Roslyn's changed status.
"She is already a vegetable, why are you still talking to her? Why not discuss life with me, like how and where we will spend the money I get from her after the wedding?" He greedily observed.
"Oh, it's annoying, why do you, a greedy cat, always seem to be never full?" She joked, hooking her arms around his neck, and the two of them entangled together beside Roslyn.
He kissed her neck from behind.
"How can I be satisfied with you..."
"No, not now. The nurse for the rounds will be here soon, be careful not to be seen. If our affair is discovered and happens to reache her damn parents, our plan will be over." She demurred, pushing him away.
Kevin had been pretentiously playing the role of being deeply affectionate with Roslyn for his own selfish intention. After she had been declared mentally incapacitated, he had taken the initiative to propose that their wedding should not be cancelled and should continue to be held as planned, promising to take good care of her for the rest of her life.
His averment moved Roslyn's parents so deeply that they proposed to put the dowry prepared for their daughter in Kevin's name after the wedding.
The colossal amount was money he could never earn in his lifetime. It comprised of a sea view villa, a limited edition Rolls-Royce, a bank card balance of two hundred million dollars, and thirty percent of the shares of the Brandon Group.
The wedding was to be held in three days time. At this critical juncture, Lilly would not allow any complications! Nothing could spoil it more than some gossip about their illicit affair.
"You wait, our sneaky days will be over soon," Kevin started, feeling offended after being pushed away. "After the wedding, we won't have to hide our feelings from the public. When the money and shares are in hand, we will kill this waste and live our happy life from now on..."
"My future hubby, you are so good to me, I love you!" She coquettishly hugged him. "Tell me, don't you have any romantic feelings for her?"
"Well, at first I thought I had. But when I realized her bossy attitude, I started having some misgivings. I started falling in love with her money instead!" He chuckled.
"Gosh! Well, assuming that the accident never happened, would you have fought for our love? Or would you rather cling to her?"
"Don't you overstretch your imagination! You know you are the one I have always loved. I would have thought of some way to get rid of her. But wait, I thought we were together in this? Ain't you the one who hatched the plan?"
"Sure, but... forget it!"
"But what? Are you regretting it?"
"I was just wondering. However, I must warn you. If you happen to double-cross or cheat on me, I will have your balls for breakfast!" She threatened, demonstratively holding and squeezing his balls.
"Arghh! That hurts!" He howled, crouching and kicking her hand away.
"Well, that is just but the tip of the iceberg. I'm a selfish woman and I hate sharing, do you get it?" She suddenly became gentle and searched for his lips and planted a kiss on him.
Responding to the kiss, Kevin held her by the waist and squeezed her tightly against his hardening manhood. He wanted to do more, but she suddenly disentangled herself and pushed him away.
"No, greedy cat! I think it would be kinky if we did it during the wedding night given that she won't be able to!" She giggled.
"A great, funny idea! It is a foregone deal!"
They were so happy that they forgot everything else and did not notice that the vegetative woman lying on the bed had her fists clenched and her nails dug into her flesh!
