Chapter 14

"Damn, you were just kissed in everyone’s eyesight," my friend said as we walked into the restaurant. I scolded her, even though in my heart my shame was there.

Andrei parked the car, so he let us inside.

"Is it yummy?" Ayesha laughed at me.

"Reservation for Mr. Villa Cruz," I formally told the staff who greeted us. He took us to our seat.

"Girl, I think something is wrong," my friend said seriously as she sat down.

I rolled my eyes. "What are you thinking?"

She touched her lip and acted thoughtfully. "You said he will file an annulment right?"

The bitterness automatically spread to my chest. "Yes."

"If that's his plan, why is he like this with you? Couldn't his lover just be messing with you?"

"Stop imagining things. We know he was forced into our wedding."

"How can you say so? Did he say he was forced?"

I was stunned for a moment. "Not exactly, but of course I am aware of that, who would agree to get married if you are already in a relationship; if you are not forced, right?"

She nodded in agreement. "Hmmm, there is something really wrong. If you have intentions of leaving, shouldn't you be cold? It's not like this, he's too sweet."

I did not speak because I agreed with what she said, but I had to control my emotions because in the end I was the loser.

"If I'm you bitch, talk to him instead of predicting what he's doing to you. At least it should be clear."

I just smiled at her. Yeah I should talk to him, maybe he just won't let me know about annulment.

Andrei arrived just in time with his friend.

"Sorry it took so long," my husband apologized.

"It's okay," I said.

"Maybe you already know my companion, but for formality, let me introduce my friend, Daevon Castanio. Daevon, this is my wife, Cassandra, and her friend, Ayesha."

Daevon immediately offered his hand so I was about to shake it, but Andrei avoided my hand.

I saw Daevon smirk before he transferred to my friend. "Nice to see you again miss," and then he smiled.

I saw my friend pale, which surprised me. Her awkward handshake did not escape me.

Weird.

"Let's eat," Andrei then slid into the chair next to me. Daevon sat down next to Ayesha.

I noticed Ayesha was uncomfortable next to him. I stared at Daevon, but I did not notice anything strange about him.

My friend just kept quiet, so that was really noticeable for me. Even if I wanted to ask, I just let it go. I'll talk to her when it was just the two of us.

I was surprised when Andrei's face suddenly came to my ear.

"Stop looking at him baby. I'm starting to kill him in my mind." He whispered to me.

I just closed my eyes in shame. What a possessive jerk.

We started eating when our order arrived, occasionally asking questions, but in all of that my friend remained quietly eating.

"Are you okay Miss Samaniego?" Daevon asked her.

Ayesha choked, so Daevon offered a glass of water. Ayesha immediately took it and drank it.

"Sorry," he apologized.

"You are a bit quiet today, are you sick?" I couldn't help but ask.

She secretly glared at me.

What the fuck? What did I do?

"Nothing. Maybe my mouth is not in the mood to speak right now," she answered.

Daevon smirked then looked at her. "Do you want me to put your mouth back in the mood? I know a way to," he said as a playful smile plastered on his face.

Her face was red now. I didn't know if it was out of shame or embarrassment.

"Wait. Sorry to interrupt, but can I asked something?" I could no longer restrain myself.

"Do you know him? I mean not by name, but personally?" I added.

Daevon smiled at me. "She's my fiancée"

"Fian—WHAT?" Then I looked to Ayesha.

"And you didn’t fucking tell me?" I pouted.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then glared at Daevon. "I told you to keep it secret you jerk," she hissed before turning to me.

"Sorry bitch. I didn't tell you right away because I was going to talk to my dad, and then I also didn't want to stress you out."

I remained pissed, even though I understood her explanation. "Why?" I asked.

She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Well he looks good." I shrugged, even though he was just in front of us.

The hand of the person next to me immediately wrapped around my waist. I saw Daevon drinking water, then looked at her as if he also wanted to hear the answer.

She just rolled her eyes, then glared at Daevon. "I will not marry a womanizer over my drop dead gorgeous body."

Oh, that line was a curse.

A playful smile crept on Daevon's lips. "Oh believe me baby, you will".

"Arghh!! Damn you Daevon! Your name should be demon, fuck!" Ayesha shouted as she walked back and forth inside my office.

I just rubbed my head, I was already ashamed of this woman, it was good that Andrei stopped by his company.

Ayesha was right, I should be clear with him, so I decided to talk to him later.

We were both surprised when the door suddenly opened and it spat out the furious Yhanna, as my secretary stopped her.

"Let me go!" she shouted.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, she didn't stop," my secretary apologized.

"It's okay, let her. Thank you," I said.

She immediately followed and then closed the door.

"You whore!" she shouted then approached me.

I was scared not for myself, but for my baby; it was good that Ayesha quickly blocked her.

"Fuck you! What’s your freaking problem?!” Ayesha shouted, then pushed Yhanna.

"Back off you witch! Don't get involved here!" she shouted back.

"Then you either! Don't spread your street manners here!" my friend exclaimed.

I got up from my chair and approached Ayesha. If anyone knows how short my friend's patience is, it's me.

"What do you need?" I formally asked, even though I was actually disgusted.

"You whore! Don't touch him because he's mine!” she spat.

"Ha! Me? I'm the one sticking out? Wow! Why don't you tell your boyfriend to get the two of you together instead of playing a show?!" I scolded.

She laughed for a moment, then looked at me badly. "Wait for it, that will also happen, especially now that we are having a baby"

I did not say a word.

"What the fuck?" said my friend.

I felt nausea, along with the weakness of my body. I clung to my table then looked at her.

"Leave. You already said what you wanted to say, so now leave. Do not make it a habit to always visit my work without permission, because next time I will meet you with a grenade." I said seriously while looking at her.

She smirked, then slowly walked towards me, Ayesha stood in front of me, but Yhanna immediately pushed her, making her fall.

"FUCK YOU, ARE YOU STILL NOT DONE?!" I shouted angrily, and then helped Ayesha, but I was so shocked when she pushed me too, so I was knocked down.

"Learn to know your place, just hang on. You're married, but he's mine!"

"FUCK YOU, FUCKING BITCH!" my friend said and quickly rushed to Yhanna.

She pulled her while Yhanna retaliated.

The pain…the pain...

"A-aye...Ayesha," I whispered softly, so she stopped and looked at me.

"OH MY GOSH!!" she shouted loudly and quickly approached me.

My tears began to flow as I looked at my blood-stained thigh.

"HELP!!! HELP!!!"

"Ayesha...Aye..." I repeatedly uttered, despite the weakness and blurring of my vision.

"Shhh. Everything will be okay," she said while wiping my tears.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!" a familiar voice shouted before I completely lost consciousness.

My baby...please save my baby...
