Chapter 95

Chapter 95
Ernest?" I called, looking around me. I realized that I am standing alone in an alley.

My wedding dress is gone.

I am wearing a different but familiar dress.

My heart dropped.

I recall this dress.

Next, loud music attacked my ears, making me cover my ears with my hands as I looked ahead and I realized that I am in a club.

The lights are red and people are dancing to the loud music. I was being clustered by people who are dancing hard.

I managed to walk through them, searching for a free and less occupied space.

I got to a less crowded place but stopped on my track the minute I saw a familiar group of people seated at a spot.

"Cheers, girls!" Ella yelled, raising up her glass of drink. Other girls joined in raising their glasses up, squealing happily.

They brought down their drinks and I saw myself seated with them as well. I am dressed in the same dress I am wearing right now.

I am taking a drink too.

Oh no.

It's the same club from five years ago.

My heart picked up.

"Are you having fun, Kim?!" Ella asked.

"Yes. Ella, I have to go home early. I don't want Ernest calling me and I wouldn't be able to answer. The music is so loud." I heard myself say.

Ella scoffed. "Relax, silly. If he calls, you go to the restroom and answer him. He will not suspect a thing."

I nodded.

"Is that guy cute or what?" Ella asked.

I saw myself looking in the direction.

Ella's movements took my attention. She is injecting something in my drink.

I froze.

"I don't see any guy." I heard myself say.

"He just blended in with the people dancing. Here, drink up." Ella handed me my drink.

I moved to stop myself but I felt stuck where I was standing.

I stood there watching myself drink the stuff Ella just injected.

Oh God.

Ella drugged me.

I can't believe this.

She actually drugged me.

I didn't even drink much. I was actually worried about Ernest. I wanted to go home but she drugged me.

I watched myself standing up sluggishly.

I walked towards a guy nearby.

"Hey, beautiful." The guy said.

I recognized him instantly. He is Mason.

Oh my God!

Mason?

No wonder he looked familiar the first time I saw him. He was here too.

I watched as he held my waist. I grabbed his shirt and was about to kiss him but someone bumped into him from behind.

"Hey, watch it." Mason said.

"Sorry." The person said, making me freeze.

It was Robert.

Robert and Mason.

I watched myself let got of Mason and moved to Robert.

Robert doesn't look wasted. He held me closer, preventing me from falling.

"You are wasted." Robert said.

I chuckled.

He took me towards the bar. He helped me sit down and he took a seat next to me.

The bartender gave him a drink. He took a sip and placed the glass down

I was smiling and playing with my hair.

"Tell me, what's a beautiful girl like you doing here alone?" He asked.

I chuckled.

Next, I saw Ella taking a seat behind Robert. She injected same thing into his drink like she did mine.

I stood there, dumbfounded.

I can't even speak.

Robert picked up his glass and gulped all.

My shoulders fell.

"Do you.....do you want to get out of here?" I heard myself ask Robert.

Robert stared at me dully.

Next, I found myself in a hallway.

I saw Ella and the girls taking Robert and I into a room.

I followed them behind and entered the room.

I saw Robert and I on the bed.

The girls are taking off our clothes.

My heart pounded.

I can't believe my eyes.

Robert and I are totally naked on the bed.

I watched as I made the first move towards Robert. I began kissing him. He held me tightly as we devoured each other.

Ella and the girls giggled as they stared at us.

"Your friend is a horny slut." One of the girls said to Ella.

Ella chuckled. "Don't blame her. Blame the drugs." Ella said. They all bursted into laughter.

My heart dropped.

How can she be this evil?

"Let's go, girls. We can't afford to appear on the picture." Ella said, walking out of the room with the girls.

Pictures?

I sighted cameras all over the room.

I covered my mouth with my palms.

"Uh!" I heard myself moan.

"Fuck..." Robert moaned.

I turned around, preventing myself from looking at what I did with Robert.

Ella did this to me.

I have been a fool all these while.

I have been a big fool!

She is not my best friend.

She is an enemy. A very angry and heartless enemy.

Next, some pictures are thrown at me and I realized that I am on my knees and Ernest is glaring angrily at me.

My heart dropped.

I stared at the pictures on the floor. I saw pictures of Robert and I naked on the bed like five years ago.

"I want a divorce, Kimberly." Ernest said.

I looked up at him.

I shook my head. "Ernest...."

"Get out of my house! And my life!" He yelled, pouring water on me.

I gasped for air.

"Wake up!" A strange voice yelled.

Another amount of water was poured on me.



I gasped for air, taking in the cold nature of the water.

"Wake up, Kimberly. That's enough sleeping." Robert's familiar voice made me freeze.

I looked at him.

He is looking at me with a smirk.

"Robert?"

He dropped the bucket.

Oh God. I was right. I was dreaming.

No.

That was more than just a dream. It was a revelation.

"I hope you slept well though." Robert said , making me look at him.

"Leo suggested we take you to a hospital but I told him no. He had to meddle but placed him in his place." Robert said, motioning to something behind him.

I looked behind him and I saw Leo and Elodie tied up to a chair and their mouths are taped.

Terror washed me.

What is this.

I made an attempt to move but I realized that I am also tied up to a chair. We are in an unfamiliar room with abandoned things in here.

Robert tied us up.

Even Elodie!

I looked at him.

He is looking at me.

"What is this?" I asked, moving but the rope is too tight.

He scoffed, taking out a gun.

My breath hitched.

"This, my dear, is a treat." He said, walking towards a seat and sat on it.

"A treat for the three of you. You, most especially, my love." He said, staring at me.

Something struck me.

"You were the one that hit me." I said.

He smirked.

My heart pounded as Ella came to my mind.

"Where is Ella?"

He furrowed his brows.

"Where is she? You both are in this together, aren't you? Ella! Come out here!" I yelled.

Robert aimed his gun at me, shutting me up.

"I don't know who that is. You better respect the metal, Kimberly and don't raise your voice here." He warned.

My heart pounded in terror.

"Yes, I hit you in the head. And do you want to know why?" He asked.

I didn't respond.

He got on his feet and took slow steps to me.

"Because I hate being lied to or worse, deceived." He said.

Terror filled me.

"You went to your ex-husband's house in the name of visiting those brats."

I furrowed my brows.

"And you let him fuck you."

I shook my head. "No. He didn't. We didn't do anything." I defended, feeling terrified to the core.

He chuckled as he walked towards Leo. He caressed Leo's hair, making Leo move his hed away from him.

"She thinks I am dumb, bro." Robert said to Leo.

"Am I dumb, princess?" He asked Elodie.

Elodie has tears in her eyes.

I can't believe he has her here as well. What is wrong with him? She is just a kid!

His own kid!

Robert turned to me, making my heart pick up.

"So, he didn't fuck you." He said.

I shook my head. "No."

"Then how do you explain the hickey on your neck and the odd way you were walking?"

My heart dropped as I recalled Ernest in between my legs.

He raised his brows at me.

"I...we didn't do anything, I swear." I lied.

He chuckled.

I felt cold shivers.

"You dare lie to me?"

I shook my head.

"You have been lying to me all these while, Kimberly. You said you are not in love with that maniac."

My heart pounded.

"You don't let me touch you. You are are always disinterested in my kisses. Your body language around me is very odd but you ran back to him and gave him free access to your body."

"Robert...."

"SHUT UP!"

I flinched.

Elodie let out a whimper. She is more terrified than I am.

"How could you, Kimberly?" Robert said, making me look at him.

"All I wanted was you. I love you, Kimberly." He said.

I stared at him.

"I love you so much. But you cheated on me with that bastard!"

"Robert, please. It is not what you think."

He ran his fingers through his hair.

Elodie took my attention. She is shuddering.

"Please let Elodie go. She is terrified."

"Shut up." Robert muttered.

"Please. Remember her condition."

"I said shut up!" He spat, making me cringe. So did Elodie.

Robert took fast and angry strides towards to me. My heart pounded at every step he took. He grabbed my neck tightly, making me let out a whimper.

His hazel eyes looks like the devil's right now.

My heart begged to explode.

"Do I look like I give a damn about that tiny thing?" He snarled.

I furrowed my brows slightly.

"Don't piss me off, Kimberly." He warned, moving the gun to the side of my head.

I gulped in terror.

"I am going to blow your cheating brains off if you piss me off." 

"I...I am sorry..."

He let go of me, making me whimper and my nerves calm down a bit.

"You know," he said, taking steps back.

"I didn't plan for all this. I didn't plan to have you three here but you pushed me, Kimberly." He said, looking at me.

I am literally shuddering.

"Your steps and everything made me loose my shit and I had to hit you."

I let out a breathless scoff.

"One thing I hate is a cheating woman." He said.

I dropped my gaze, feeling very guilty.

"Sofia did it to me." He said.

I froze, looking up at him.

What?

"She cheated on me with my only cousin." He said, smiling.

I looked at Leo.

He is looking down.

Oh my God.

"She didn't only cheat on me with him. She also got pregnant for him." Robert said, making me look at him.

Wait, what?

"Elodie is not mine." He said.

I froze.

"She is his daughter." He said, pointing at Leo.

What?!

Leo moved on his seat angrily, claiming our attention.

Leo is glaring at Robert and fuming in anger. If it wasn't for the tape on his mouth, he will let it all out.

Robert looked at me. "He is like that because he is just knowing about it."

I looked at Leo. He is looking at Elodie.

"I can't father a child, Kimberly." Robert said.

My heart dropped as I looked at him.

"No one knows about it except me." He said.

What?

"That was why I was excited when you told me those brats were mine. I had doubts but I took it as a miracle. I was the happiest man on earth. All I thought was to take you three in and marry you immediately. But that maniac decided to meddle."

Oh my God. My kids are really Ernest's.

"The maniac had to show me that this wasn't a miracle but a misunderstanding. The kids on the other hand were going closer to him. They had things in common with him. It made me furious. That was why I acted that way, baby." He said.

God, what am I hearing?

"It was rubbed on my face that the brats weren't mine. That maniac stole you three on our wedding day and ran another DNA test. I couldn't even fight him when he told me the kids are his because I know he is telling the truth."

I dropped my gaze.

"But I was going to fight him because of you. They might be his kids but your are my fiance. You are mine, Kimberly." He snarled.

Tears rolled out my eyes.

"I thought you hated him. I believed you when you said you are not in love with him. I thought you hated him for all he did to you but no. You kept going back to him. You even let him touch you! Urgh!" He yelled, moving away.

I cringed. "I am sorry. I was a fool. I was stupid. Please, forgive me, I beg you."

He chuckled. "Oh, Kimberly. Kimberly, Kimberly." He sang, looking up and covering his face with his palms.

I shuddered.

"Out of all the girls I dated after Sofia died, you were the only one that reminded me so much of her." He said, turning to me.

I stared at him, still shuddering.

"I see her in you. I think of her anytime I look at you. You are all her. Same hair color. Same height. Same brown eyes. Same everything."

I furrowed my brows. "You.....you don't really love me. You are still in love with Sofia."

"Of course I am. I love her so much. She shouldn't be where she is now. She fucking pushed me. She pushed me into killing her!"

I froze.

"Just like how you are pushing me right now." He snarled, aiming his gun at me.

I gasped in absolute terror.

"She cheated on me with that bastard behind me." He said, pointing at Leo behind him.

"She fucked my cousin under my nose. Under my freaking roof. All I did was love her! Why can't you get it, Sofia! All I did was love you!" He yelled at me.

I whimpered.

"Why did you do this to me, Sofia? Why?"

"I....I am not her."

"SHUT UP!" He yelled.

I cringed, shutting my eyes.

Leo moved his chair, claiming our attention.

"Do you want to die, bro?" Robert asked, pointing his gun at Leo.

Leo glared at him.

"You slept with your cousin's wife. How fucking dare you?"

Leo kept glaring at him.

"We are more than cousins, Leo. We are brothers. We were raised together, psycho. We are family. How could you do this to me?" Robert asked.

Leo moved his hand but the rope is holding him back.

Robert aimed the gun at Elodie.

I gasped.

Leo struggled on the chair harder.

Robert smirked. "I had to put up with this little bitch because of you, Sofia." Robert said, looking at me.

"I took care of her like she was my own. All because of you, Sofia!" Robert yelled, raising his gun up in the ceiling and released a bullet.

I screamed.

So did Elodie.

He made fast strides towards me and grabbed my neck.

I whimpered as more tears flowed.

"My Sofia." He said, leaning down to my neck and placed kisses on me.

I cringed, feeling disgusted.

"I missed you so much, baby. I missed everything about you." He said, licking my skin.

I whimpered as adrenaline filled me.

"Stop.... please. I am not Sofia."

"I am sorry for killing you, baby. I didn't mean to. You made me do it, sweetie. You pushed me. Why did you cheat on me with my cousin? Why?" He said, kissing my ear.

I sobbed as my eyes moved to Leo. He is struggling to untie himself.

"Help, me." I cried as Robert kept kissing my neck and my ear.

"I want to make love to you." He said.

I kept sobbing.

"Let's go and do it right now." He said, untying me.

My heart dropped.

"Robert.....no, please..."

He put his gun behind his as he untied me instantly and forced me on my feet. I moved to run but he grabbed me closer and gave me a stinging back hand slap.

I whimpered in pain.

He grabbed me along, heading towards the entrance.

"Leo! Elodie! Help, please." I cried as the grabbed out of the room.

We got to the living room and he threw me on the sofa.

"No, please!" I cried, moving to get away but he grabbed me and slapped me again and again.

My vision became blurry.

"Beautiful Sofia. My queen. I want you now." I heard him say as he grabbed my breasts.

"Stop.... please. Leave me alone." I cried as i sluggishly moved his hands.

His hand moved under my dress.

"No.....let me go. Robert! Stop!"

He grabbed my breasts aggressively as his hands moved in between my legs.

I begged the earth to take me right now.

Next, I heard a loud thud.

"Urgh!" Robert groaned, placing his hand on his head and fall on the floor. He is still conscious but groaning in pain.

I saw Leo holding a broken baseball bat. Elodie is standing behind him.

"Run. Take Elodie with you." He said.

I looked at Robert. He is still on the floor, groaning.

"Run, now!" Leo yelled, moving Elodie towards me.

I held her hand and ran out of the house.

Running towards the gate, I heard a gun shot, stopping us on our tracks.

"Dad!" Elodie yelled.

My heart dropped.
