Serena

Hurt wasn’t an enough word to describe what I felt while looking at the betrayal before me. Pain of any physical kind couldn’t even match up to the anguish I felt deep inside.

What I felt was pain caused more than slicing me open with a blade, more than pouring acid on my insides, more than chopping me into pieces, more than bleeding me dry…

My bright world had completely turned dark and gloomy and for a brief moment, I thought I had died.

Actually, dying was preferable than witnessing this highest form of treachery. What was worse was I was present to witness it all. Inch by inch of their nakedness. Inch by inch of their lewd connection.

They were so engrossed that none of them appeared to notice me. Rhea kept on moaning loudly, enjoying every bit of Aero’s embedded cock, while the latter was in his own world of pleasure, grunting and groaning. The tautness of his muscles, the length of his shaft slipping in and out of my friend’s sex, his completely elated face–eyes closed and mouth formed into a ‘hiss’–it was the most painful picture I had ever seen.

At the back of my head, I wished and prayed that this was all just a dream. That I’d soon wake up from this nightmare, but no…

This was really real.

I felt a crushing weight on my chest. I couldn’t breathe properly. My fingers, they all turned cold and trembled wildly. I clasped my hands together in the hopes of controlling them and crossed my arms over my chest in an act of embracing myself.

Consoling myself…

My God…I thought.

Was that why they were so secretive earlier in the dining room? Her, asking to ′talk’ to him in private?

Moving further back, was that the reason why they were both absent this morning and afternoon?

Had they been fucking all this time? Had they been fooling me? Making me think that she was in love with Elijah and Aero with me?

Had Aero been that quick-hearted? Just because I was being honest with my feelings, unsure as it may be, that he’d speedily jump into another woman?

Just because he had finally tasted the pleasures of a pussy that he’d want to sample all females now?

Was this the real reason why he didn’t want to mark me?

Hot tears fell down my cheeks unhindered. It was like a river, with deep sadness as its driving force.

I didn’t know what to think anymore. I didn’t know what to say, but I knew the more I looked at them in their pleasurable world, the more I felt embarrassed.

Huh. Me, embarrassed.

I actually thought I was intruding on them than discovering an illicit affair.

My legs felt frozen. I couldn’t seem to take another step, but unable to watch them any further I willed my legs to move.

With a soft sob, I left the bedroom and walked straight to the main door, planning to hide in my room where no one would see me cry.

I was about to open the door, but then, a thought crossed my mind.

“No,” I muttered, knitting my brows.

I shouldn’t feel embarrassed. I shouldn’t be afraid to confront them. I was the one who was being wronged at. I was the victim!

But this wasn’t the very idea that encouraged me to go back. It was my intuition, my feeling that something was wrong.

“This doesn’t add up,” I murmured.

All I experienced with Aero these past few days: his warmth, his genuine care, his possessiveness, the loving way he looked at me, his reassuring words, even his hatred and arrogance, they were all real, and I thought, he would never do this to me.

He would never betray me.
