Chapter 10 A friend’s betrayal
Nalzen
The lustful desire on the airplane is new to me. Especially when I was able to hold Aaron’s, proud baby. It’s very unexpected.
All of what happened on our honeymoon is all-new.
We arrive now at our Mansion. And Aaron throw away the other bed that I bought for him. He wants to sleep with me.
And me? I felt very excited. At the same time confused.
Did I like him already? Or it’s just lust? As of now, I cannot answer my question.
We are lying down here in bed cuddling when his phone ring.
Even if I don’t ask him, I know that it’s his fiancee.
He immediately goes out of the room. Well, it’s his privacy. But why do I feel jealous?
Calm down Nalzen, You have no right. It’s just a marriage contract between the two of you. You only rented him. Nothing more, nothing less. Just enjoy the day being with him.
Yeah, but I can’t make my heart stop from being hurt!
I decided to visit our hotel, as well as Uncle Alberto. I wanted to thank him for his honeymoon gift that brought happiness to me even for a short time.
I go outside the living room and there’s Aaron. Happily smiling while talking to Andrea.
I didn’t see that smile when he is with me…
And why does it hurts?
I leave immediately without saying goodbye.
I don’t want to cry because I don’t have any right to him.
I can see that he is very much in love with her.
And I am just his fake wife. A fuck wife to be exact.
My tears finally fall when I went inside my car. I cry my heart out in there.
I felt that my heart was broken into tiny pieces.
Am I in love with Aaron? But this cannot be!
I wipe my tears as well as wipe the honeymoon memories of Aaron and me.
I arrive at our hotel that I didn’t even know. My mind is confused. I felt like I am floating somewhere.
Focus Nalzen!
Then I saw…
Nica? I called her but she didn’t hear me.
She looks preoccupied talking on her phone.
I felt curious and wants to follow her.
OMG, Maybe she already has a boyfriend now?
This best friend of mine is very secretive. I had my honeymoon for a few days and now she is dating and in a hotel?
What miracle did she make?
Hmmm, there’s only one way to find out.
She is still busy with her phone and didn’t notice that I am following her back. I felt excited!
Should I discover something today?
But her destination is at the office?
Oh, maybe she only has a business deal in here.
I’m looking for Uncle Alberto too. And there he is! I saw him when Nica open the door.
I follow Nica inside and was shocked at what I am seeing right now.
Nica hugged Uncle Alberto and kiss him on the lips?
What is happening in here?
They look very much in love!
And it’s Eww! to look at.
Nica and I are the same age.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Uncle Alberto is like her father. How could she kiss him?
I turned around as I don’t want to interrupt their heated kiss.
And for goodness sake! It took a while to finish.
When they are done. I finally speak up.
“Nica, Uncle Alberto. What is the meaning of this?” I ask the obvious.
But I notice that I am facing a different side of Nica. A stranger, giving me a snob’s face.
What is happening to her? Her eyes are full of…
Hatred? Towards me?
“Care to explain Nica?” I ask again.
She slowly walks towards me. Smirking while swaying her hips.
“I think there’s nothing to explain Nalzen, You saw it all! right?” She answered with confidence wearing her fake smile.
How come I just only notice today the fakeness on her?
I trusted her and treated her like my best friend.
“How come? Why didn’t tell me?” I ask hurt written all over my face.
But she only laughs at me.
“Why? You wanted me to be your dog forever?” She answers angrily.
Dog? What is she saying?
“I treated you like a sister, not like a dog! And you know that. I don’t have any objections if you and Uncle Alberto are in a relationship. I just want you to be true to me.” I’m truly hurt by the way she treated me now.
“Well, that’s good. And we are getting married by the way.” Then she hugs Uncle Alberto.
“Thank you, Nalzen. I forgot to tell you that me and my babe Nica is already in a relationship as you were busy at your wedding with Aaron.” My Uncle explains calmly.
Who am I to judge and interrupt them? But Nica change!
“No problem Uncle, I wish you all the best with your relationship. I will support you. And I’m here to say thank you again for the honeymoon gift. I and Aaron enjoyed it a lot during our vacation.” I sincerely thank him and walked out the door.
“I’m going home, Uncle.” But Nica interrupts.
“Babe, I will accompany her at the door.” Then she drags me out.
“What? You will explain now how you treated me with your fake attitude?” I cannot hide my emotion. I am angry at the moment.
She just laugh loudly. Like a devil!
“Nalzen, you are just jealous that I will marry a rich man. And your husband is as poor as the rat.” She insulted Aaron and I cannot accept that.
“That rich man is my Uncle! And he is like your father! What’s gotten into you?” I ask her with anger inside my heart?
But she just laughs again like a witch.
“So, what? You’re just bitter. Ever since our college days, you are always the center of attraction, and everything until now. But wait… not now. You are as poor as the rat.
No Company and a strip dancer husband!” Then she laughs like crazy.
It’s the second time she insulted Aaron.
“And so what! If he is a strip dancer? He is working hard and you don’t have the right to insult him. You’re just nothing too!” I think I’m gonna explode because of anger.
She is too much! She is not rich too. How come she can’t relate to Aaron?
Nica’s face turns dangerously mad.
“Huh! Don’t you know that Aaron is not your fake husband? He is for real Nalzen hahaha. And that’s good for you. Dumb ass bitch!” Then she leaves triumphantly.
Just what? We are married for real? How could she do this to me!
I run after her and grabe her shoulder to face me.
“How could you do this?” I asked angrily. But she just smirk and laugh.
And I want to tear that laugh apart! I am in total rage right now. I slap her hard on the face.
But she just laugh like crazy! She didn’t feel hurt even if her face is swollen and red. She is crazy!
And I wanted to slap her again. And I did it making sure that it will leave bruises on her face.
And Uncle Alberto arrives.
“What did you do Nalzen? Babe are you okay?” He asks worriedly.
” Yes Babe, I’ve never been okay in my entire life, just this day. Today!” Then she laughs while shouting.
“Damn you!” I wanted to slap her again but Uncle Alberto block my way.
“Stop it! What happen?” He asks.
“Ask that crazy girlfriend of yours!” Then I pulled her hair the moment I touch it with my fingers.
She is still laughing like crazy.
“Hahaha, it’s the end for you Nalzen Villarreal!” Upon hearing those words I pulled her hair even harder.
Uncle Alberto called some security guards and throw me away outside the hotel.
How could they do this to me? It’s my Hotel! I need to get back what my parents leave me. As for now, my mind is not stable upon hearing the truth from Nica.
I shouted. I want to shout all the anger and hatred that I felt. I never expected Nica will betray me. We are always facing each other every day. She showed me the kind and innocent face and hide the devil side of her face.
And I didn’t even notice that she let me sign our real marriage contract and register it.
How can I tell all about this to Aaron? How?
I felt frustrated that I wanted to cry but no tears will go out. I am very angry!
The annulment process here in the Philippines is very slow. And Aaron is getting married!
My head is aching right now. I don’t know how to drop this bomb when I go home.
And I don’t want to go home anymore.
I walked in the street unconsciously.
I am very tired from walking when my phone ring.
And it’s Aaron!
I don’t want to answer him. I still don’t know what to do.
But my phone will keep on ringing and my feet are already tired from walking. I don’t know how far did I walk.
I decided to answer him as I am very thirsty and the heat of the sun is not helping.
“Aaron…” I whisper. Never did I notice that my mouth is very dry. I can’t even speak!
Now that I am sitting, I felt very tired. My feet are aching and all of my body is as well.
“Where are you? What happens? Tell me and I will come in there.” Aaron sounds worried. And it touches my heart.
I hope that he will not blame me for what happened. I look around and saw a street sign.
“I am at Thomas Morato Street.” And that’s all I can say as I felt like I will faint any moment.
But I keep on trying not to close my eyes until Aaron found me.
Will it take too long?
Or will I last long?
Then I saw a raging black car coming.
Is it Aaron?
I can’t see it. And my eyes started to close.
“Aaron…”
