Chapter 1 One
For thirty minutes now, Jessy hasn't returned and it makes me so worried.
When she received a message a few minutes ago, she told me she would be back before the wedding began and hurried out.
Jessy is my best friend, and also the chief bridesmaid, she can't ditch my wedding unless something has happened.
What could have happened to her?
Her phone isn't connecting and it bothers me so much.
What if she got into an accident?
Hell No!
“Blair, what is going on? Where is the groom and your best friend?”
Aunt Linda asked, shutting the door behind her.
“Check the groom’s room, Harris is there.”
“He isn't. Besides, no one has seen him around here.”
Harris hasn't shown up?
I thought he was in the groom's room.
“Are you sure Harris isn't…”
“Oh, come on, Aunt Linda.”
I know what she was going to say because she is part of those people who think Harris isn't going to marry me.
I pray this doesn't turn out to be true,
No, it can't.
“And Jessy?”
She asked, emphasizing it, making it look as if they were together.
But that's not true,
Jessy and Harris can't be together.
Although Jessy respects him a lot, Harris never appreciates her.
He is always saying nasty things about her.
“Can you locate Harris for me? His phone isn't connecting either.”
Aunt Linda shrugged her shoulders and walked out.
A few minutes later, she returned to the room.
And this time, she looked so furious.
What is going on?
“Blair, Harris, and your best friend are in the hotel section!”
What!
No way,
Aunt Linda is lying to me,
She just wants me to accept that Harris and Jessy are up to something.
“I told you I don't trust those two…”
I couldn't wait for her to finish whatever she wanted to say before hurrying out of the room.
But wait, I can't go with my wedding gown, I need to change into something.
I can't be seen running around in my wedding dress.
I returned to the room, grabbed my knee-length gown, and dashed inside the bathroom.
Aunt Linda was still around when I stepped out of the bathroom in another dress.
“Blair, keep your head straight.”
I handed over the wedding gown to her.
“Aunt Linda, today I will prove to you that Harris and Jessy have nothing going on between them.”
With that said, I left again.
Since the Hotel was just part of the complex we chose for our wedding, I walked there.
But instead of going straight to the room number she gave me, I decided to enquire from the receptionist to be sure my Aunt wasn't lying to me.
“I am looking for Harris White,”
I said to the receptionist who was staring at me confused.
“I am his wife-to-be, Blair Reece.”
She nodded her head and went through the list of the people who checked in that day.
“Room 12.”
My heart skipped a beat the moment she said that.
It can't be true, right?
What will Harris be doing in the hotel when we've already booked rooms at the hall?
I entered the elevator, praying so hard that it wouldn't be my Harris.
We love each other so much, and we have promised never to cheat on one another.
But the moment I stepped out of the elevator, my attention was drawn to a lady’s moan coming from one of the rooms.
The hallway was so silent and all I could hear was a groan and a moan.
That can't be them, can it?
My heart started palpitating, and my hands began to tremble.
At some point, I wanted to turn back and ignore everything.
Maybe it isn't them inside that room,
Maybe it is another couple making out.
Harris can't do this to me, right?
And my best friend too, we grew up together, Jessy loves me so much and will never do this to me.
I took a deep breath, approached the room, and held the door handle.
Surprisingly, the door wasn't locked.
So, I pushed it back and my eyes fell on the shoe and the bag on the floor.
Those were Jessy’s,
She was wearing that shoe earlier on, and that was the bag she carried.
My eyes darted to the bed where Harris was thrusting in and out of her.
At that moment,
My vision became blurred so I had to support myself with the wall.
It is true!
They are cheating on me.
“Harris?”
His name slipped off my tongue.
Harris turned towards me, panting profusely.
Did he stop what he was doing?
No,
He went on doing his business until he was satisfied,
Then he looked at me again and his lips curved into a smile.
He kissed and then sat beside her.
None of them showed any sign of shock or regret.
It is as if they'd planned this all this while.
“That was the best sex of my life, Harris.”
Jessy kissed him right in front of my eyes.
What did I do to them to deserve this inhuman treatment?
I loved them so much, they mean a lot to me and I never do things that will make them think of revenge on me.
“What are you still doing here, Blair? Haven't you seen enough?”
Harris snapped at me.
“I think she wants to see more.”
Jessy smirked.
She slipped her hand inside the duvet and got a hold of his manhood.
Harris closed his eyes and bit his lower lip in pleasure.
“Harris?”
I called again, breaking down in tears.
“Why would you do this to me?”
They both burst into laughter.
I was so stupid to ask that question.
Isn't it obvious that Harris never loved me?
He only used me for 5 years to his own advantage,
Now I am nothing to him.
But what about our wedding?
I really want to get married,
He can't call it off, right?
“Go away, girl, the wedding has been called off.”
What!
