When I stormed into the bar, filled with rage, I saw my university roommate and long-time best friend, Sophia Collins, in the arms of my boyfriend, Ethan.
Sophia was dressed beautifully, seductively, and was tilting Ethan's chin, leaning in for a kiss.
If it weren't for a friend who happened to see them and tipped me off, I might never have found out about his affair.
I clenched my fists tightly, unable to describe the shock that hit me in that moment, my heart feeling as though it had been squeezed.
We were childhood sweethearts, we grew up together, and we got engaged as soon as we graduated.
I always kept my distance from other men, but Ethan cheated on me with my best friend.
How laughable.
They kissed passionately, Ethan's voice drifting over.
Don't worry. I'm just playing around with Olivia. No one else but you can be Mrs. Carter.
It was truly disgusting.
Furrowing my brows, I suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the cake from the table, and said, "Happy birthday, Sophia."
Before anyone could react, I smashed the cake right into Sophia's face.
Ah! She screamed, her whole face covered like a plaster statue.
Ethan was momentarily shocked, but instead of looking embarrassed at being caught, he glared at me with a dark expression, shielding Sophia.
Olivia, are you crazy? What's wrong with you?
I wouldn't allow a scumbag like him to trample on my pride.
Right in front of Ethan's close friends, I yanked Ethan's hair and slapped him hard across the face several times, sneering.
You're the one who made promises to me, you're the one who knelt to propose, and now you're the one who's cheating with someone else. Ethan, you're such a disgrace, aren't you?
Ethan was stunned by the slaps, taking a moment to recover before he angrily ordered someone to pull me away.
His face was red with slap marks, and he looked at me with such fury, almost grinding his teeth.
What are you losing your mind over? Which rich guy doesn't have a few women around? Do you expect me to only focus on you?
He pulled Sophia close.
I'm engaged to you, yes, but we're not married yet. What's wrong with me having a little fun?
I could even see the smugness in Sophia's eyes.
