"I heard you're going to marry Marcelo. Is this perhaps your revenge against me? It's very laughable, Renee. That man can barely function." Her foster family, her cheating ex, everyone thought Renee was going to live in pure hell after getting married to a disabled and cruel man. She didn't know if anything good would ever come out of it after all, she had always thought it would be hard for anyone to love her but this cruel man with dark secrets is never going to grant her a divorce because she makes him forget how to breathe.
*RENEE*
*You're such a prude,we've been together for more than a year yet you won't let me touch you.You don't have the right to blame me for having an affair with your sister!*
Those words reverberated in my head over and over again.
I had been with Andrew King for almost a year.Our union had started off as a blind date arranged by my parents.
My parents badly wanted to be connected to the King family,the wealthiest and most powerful family in Chicago.
I had found Andrew likable but I really didn't feel that deep spontaneous love for him but my parents had warned me that I must be with him and I must get married to him.We had been engaged and were to be married soon,just for me to walk in on him having sex with my sister.
Granted,I had never done more with Andrew other than kissing but I felt he understood that I had wanted to wait until marriage.I genuinely felt that maybe then,I would fall deeply for him.
Even if I didn't love him,his betrayal still hurt a great deal and he had the nerves to tell me to overlook what I saw.
He fucking had the nerves to tell me to think of his affair as nothing.
I might not be a perfect woman but I knew my worth.I had a great self-esteem and would never settle for less.
I had bluntly told Andrew that it was over between us.I didn't want to have anything to do with him ever again.
But the pain of the break up was still very fresh in my heart.Especially because I felt that Andrew was going to save me from the Hudsons.
I leaned against the window,devastatingly.I was in a cab when I caught sight of a club.
I sat up and quickly told the driver to pull over.I just wanted to distract myself.Do anything to get over this pain.
I hurried up to the entrance but I was stopped by two bouncers.
"The club's having a mask party tonight.Everyone has to be on masks."They informed me.
Sighing,I bought a mask by the side,put it on and walked into the club.
I immediately went to the counter where I sat and ordered some alcoholic drinks.
I downed bottles after bottles,wanting to drink my sorrows away.
Vaguely,I noticed a man sitting beside me.
He was also on a mask and he was elegantly sipping his glass of wine.
My alcohol-filled senses took notice of how gorgeous he looked in his suit.I instantly had a feeling that he must have a very handsome face.
As I continued to gush over him,I suddenly longed to be in a man's arms.
In all my twenty-two years of life,this was the most I had craved intimacy.
Without thinking twice,not that I would have been able to thick twice in my alcohol filled brain,I got off my chair and staggered closer to him.
"Hello there."I purred."Wanna spend the night with me?"
The man only stared at me for a second and to my surprise,he nodded.
*****************
Few minutes later found us walking into an hotel room.
As the man turned on the light,I closed the distance between us,stood on my toes and kissed him.He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me back, passionately.
As he took nibbles after nibbles of my lips,I gasped.
"Should.should we take our masks off?"I stuttered.
I had never done this before,I didn't know if I'd like to leave my mask on or off.
The man moved back a bit and took my mask off.
I could see his eyes dilate behind his mask.
I expected him to take off his mask too but he suddenly asked.
"What are you doing here?"
I frowned, confused.
Haven't we already established why we were both here?
"Are you always spreading your legs for every guy at the bar?" The man lashed out at me again.
I felt sure this man must be insane; what right did he have to judge me?
I glanced at his abs, admitting a sheer desire between my thighs as I remembered the hardness against me few seconds ago. I wanted him. It was a feeling Andrew had never sparked in me,but that wasn't a reason for him to insult me!
I didn't understand what I had gotten myself into!
"What about you?!Don't you stick your dick out for every woman at the bar? You think you're a man, so you think you're noble?!" My desire vanished completely; how had I encountered such a chauvinistic man?!
I thought I'd better leave.
"I'll book you a ride. Leave as soon as it gets here!" the man announced as he opened his ride-hailing app.
I didn't refuse; I immediately left the room. He owed me the fare for insulting me! I was so angry I forgot to demand an apology!
***********
*MARCELO*
I stood by the window as I watched Renee Hudson get into the cab I had booked.
Thank Goodness I had removed her mask.
I almost had sex with my cousin's fiancee.I had been furious earlier and had thought that she might have planned to seduce me.
But I knew that couldn't be the case.She didn't know that it was me.And I was glad I didn't take off my mask.Else,she would have discovered my secret.
I hoped to never see her again. At that moment, my phone rang, and the butler's voice came through the receiver.
"Master, your mother is planning on getting you a wife."
I shut my eyes,briefly.Doesn't that woman ever get tired of trying to get me married?
"Pay no mind to her."I snapped and hung up.
"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
