The three of them sat on the sofa, Nina and Selena together on the twin sofa and Justin alone.
Nina had reverted back to the cold queen everyone was familiar with. Justin would never be able to guess how anxious she had been prior to his entrance.
Selena stared at the foolish idiots in front of her and decided to help them. Or else she would never know when they were going to open up their mouths to speak.
"I am sure you are not here to have a staring competition with my friend here. So shoot!"
Justin wasn't mad at Selena because he knew just how over protective they both were of each other. But he really want to be alone with Nina right but he knew that was impossible. He decided to go straight to the point.
"Nina... I saw the news today.." He looked tentatively at her face for any change in her expression. He was disappointed because there was none. His baby had grown up, she learned to hide her emotions well.
"So?"
"What's between both of you?"
"With what position are you asking me?"
He replied instinctively,
"Your fiance.." It was already too late when he realized what he just said.
"Fiance? You?" Nina asked coldly."We already broke up so you and I are no better than strangers now. Let's make that very clear."
"And you want to know about Brian and I? Do you really want to? You won't regret it?"
Justin unhesitatingly nodded his head, he really wanted to know.
"Okay I will tell you, Brian and I are good friends from Junior High. Me, Sel' and Brian are also from the same orphanage. He paid us a surprise visit from Country A last month when you went on a business trip to Country H."
Justin inaudibly breathed a sigh of relief listening to her explanation but he didn't know that Nina had been keeping an eye on him so the moment he relaxed, she noticed.
She smirked inwardly, "Not so soon, my love. The worst is yet to come"
Selena actually felt pity for Justin at that moment, giving him hope and then completely crushing that was Nina's strategy.
Nina might actually be kind and gentle but that is only towards people who never hurt her but towards people who did, she would be completely ruthless!
"I guess I misunderstood you..." Justin was saying.
Nina interrupted him,
"You didn't"
Justin's heart that was already relaxed suddenly sunk again. He instinctively didn't want to listen to whatever Nina was going to say anymore. He had a feeling it was going to completely break him apart.
"Nina... Don't.."
"Don't what? Don't say the truth? Don't tell you I also cheated on you last month?" She dropped the bombshell.
'Boom! Fireworks exploded in Justin's mind. He sat rooted to the chair while Nina carefully savoured that expression of pain on his face.
"Nina... Don't lie to me... You wouldn't do that. You can't possibly do that to me.." He went to hysterically hold her and shook her as if it could somehow erase whatever just came out of her mouth.
Nina lovingly caressed his face, well, if you could ignore the cruel words that came out of her lips.
"But J... It's all true.. You were away for two months... and he came... It just happened but I enjoyed being with him so much."
Justin couldn't hold himself back any longer and slapped her, hard. It was too late before he realised what he just did. He just slapped the only woman he ever loved his entire life!
"Baby...I am sorry.. I got carried away. I didn't mean to." He apologized remorsefully as he went to hold her arms.
Selena who was already fuming after he slapped Nina pushed his hands off violently.
"Don't you dare touch her! Get the f*ck out of here. She doesn't need your half-assed apology"
Justin looked to Nina for help but what he saw made him freeze.
