HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“But baby we just got back after…”

I was shocked he started the engine.

“Baby?”

For the first time, he ignored me and drove off.

“Baby!”

I shouted after him, my heart was ripped into shreds, how am I supposed to prove my innocence?

**BRUNO’S POV**

The next morning, Grandma was the first to come into my room, she drew the window curtains, I sluggishly turned to the other side as the light rays travelled directly into my eyes.

“How are you doing this morning my love?”

Grandma asked.

She walked over to my side and sat on the bed beside me. I drew my blanket up to cover my wet face.

She sighed and touched my hand.

“Still mourning over your heartbreak?”

I said nothing, I completely ignored her, my eyes were hurting from crying since yesterday and my heart won’t stop aching. How can this happen? How on Earth did this happen, Beauty and father?

Father of course is a known flirt and womaniser but Beauty? How could she do this to me?

“The visitors will soon arrive. You don’t want them to see you, all sad and teary, man up and be strong,”Grandma continued.

“Can I be alone for now please?

Find somewhere else and stay maybe go to Abigail, she is your grandchild too or find some of your old people, let me be please”I mumbled , for the first time Granny’s words annoyed me , her presence even irritates me, I was taking me anger out on her that same minute, I regretted it.

“Life is not always sweet, flowers and sunshine, there are storm days too, dark days and hurt days, all you have to do is be strong and don’t lose yourself to the situation, I know how much you loved her…”

“You don’t know anything about us! All y’all wanted was to seperate us and now that it’s settled , can you now let me be!”I snapped angrily.

She sighed and patted my hand.

“I prepared something for you, Grandma’s special recipe, your favourite.. i hope you will love it”.

She pecked my forehead and left the room.

As soon the door shut, I slowly closed my eyes and cried silently.

All that was in my mind was our last moment, and how she cried and denied knowing anything about the video.

I told Beauty I believed her but deep down, I was so scared , scared to hurt her feelings, but mostly scared to hurt myself, Beauty why did you have to do it?

That is what father wanted and he got it, crying like a baby won’t help either, i have to forget about all this and move on.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Even the sound of that statement in my head made me gasp in tears, I grabbed on my chest, how could I forget when it hurts this much, when all I could think of is how she was enjoying the whole thing and my father using her as his sex toy, how could I ever get the image of this horrific scene off my head.

I squeezed my fist under the blanket, my veins bulged and fist tightened.

I don’t think I can ever move on with this pain, it hurts so much , so much ..

The door cracked open interrupting my thoughts, it was Abigail.

“Are you still crying? Cry baby?”

“What are you doing here Abigail?”I sneered with an obvious hate tone in my voice, I despised her so much at this moment.

“Well, I don’t know what you said to Grandma, but she’s crying because of you.. silly! You shouldn’t make her feel bad because she cared so much about youryou, she was so worried about you yesternight, refused to go to sleep and waited for your return , she took care of a drunkass and this morning your sick attitude made her sad, you should be ashamed of yourself Bruno”.

“Get out of my room or I will make you Abigail”

I snapped, hiding the fact that what she said about Grandma touched me.

“I don’t even want to stay in the first place, also your CEO party should be today right? Hope you are ready, also I am sure that bitch won’t be attending this, if eventually she actually did attend the party , you have to face her and end things with her infront of everyone, I will gladly tell her colleagues what she did”.

“Are you done?”I snarled at her.

“Yes”.

She walked to the door and paused.

“To be frank, I know it’s not easy and also I know the pain you are going through but I warned you, didn’t I? I knew it at first that she is bad news, a stinking gold digger and a shameless nymphomaniac but no….. you didn’t listen because you are so blinded by whatever attracted you to that horrible looking fat lady, it’s done already , the mistake can never be revised. I hope you learn from it so you have to take it easy on yourself, Grandma is hurt because of you, and if you don’t want to stop, for her sake stop this madness already”.

She opened the door and slammed it shut after her.

I picked up my phone, Beauty’s calls notifications were uncountable, I wanted to call her but held back.

What am I calling her for, because I missed her?
