Juniper's Pov
"What the fuck, did you just bring me here to see my fiancé betray me by having sex with my stepsister today that's supposed to be my wedding day with Orion?" I cried out, my body trembling in shock and outrage as I took in the sight before me - my dear fiancé Orion and my stepsister Aria naked and intertwined on the bed of the hotel suite where Orion and I were supposed to spend our wedding night.
My bastard father just stood there with a smug look on his face. "Yes, you deserve such humiliation for not doing my bidding and leaving your stepsister so Orion could marry her instead, as I instructed," he replied coldly.
I felt like I had been stabbed through the heart. The man who was supposed to walk me down the aisle today had manipulated and betrayed me in the cruellest way possible.
Aria was now on top, riding Orion vigorously as she faced me, not an ounce of shame on her face. It was like my presence only spurred her on more. She leaned down and kissed Orion deeply, purposefully putting on a show for me.
Anger and nausea rose up in me simultaneously. I spun on my heel to storm out, but my father roughly grabbed my arm. "Oh no you don't! Sit down and watch this. I want you to feel humiliated," he barked.
Tears stung my eyes as he forced me into a chair facing the bed. Orion smacked Aria's backside and she squealed in delight. Bile burned my throat.
"If you even think of leaving this room, I'll call the hospital doctor right now and have your mother's oxygen removed. You know very well what will happen then," my father threatened.
I shrank back, hating how once again my only bargaining chip was my mother's life. She had been in a coma for over a year now after her terrible accident. As her husband, my father had medical power of attorney. He financed her hospital bills on the sole condition that I do exactly as he demanded - which mainly revolved around honouring business arrangements like marrying Orion.
Over this past painful year under my father's controlling thumb, I'd done so many awful things just to keep my mom alive...but this, watching my fiancé fuck my own stepsister right in front of me, this was a whole new savage low.
My dad left, seeming very satisfied with my anguish. I turned my rage on Orion. "How could you do this to me today of all days? Have you no shame or respect?" I cried.
Orion didn't even bother pausing his enthusiastic pounding of Aria. He just shot me a disgusted look. "Why the hell should I respect you? I already got what I needed from this little arrangement of ours - half ownership of our boss's $120 million company after our merger. Now fuck off and stop your whining."
His callous words clawed out my heart. So this entire relationship had meant nothing to him after all. I was just a means to an end. He had never loved me.
I glanced wildly around the opulent suite draped with flowers and candles for our wedding night. The pain of realizing it had all been an elaborate ruse orchestrated by my father and Orion was unbearable.
"So you used me this whole year...made me fall in love with you...just for our boss's money and company? And now you're fucking my sister to humiliate me as one last twist of the knife?" I wept, hugging myself tight.
Orion shrugged, not stopping his enthusiastic pounding. "I fucked your sweet little stepsis here months ago to seal the deal with your Dad. We both wanted you knocked down a peg. Frankly, you should be thanking me for even wasting a year playing pretend with you."
His words were like physical blows. I thought back to all those tender moments we'd shared, and the future plans we'd made. My whole body shook with anguished sobs.
Suddenly Aria shrieked and collapsed atop Orion. It was finally over, their disgusting show. Aria slid off and sashayed out nude without a glance at me. Orion stood and tediously put his clothes back on as I sat there hyperventilating.
"What...what are you going to do now?" I finally choked out. "Now that you already have your precious company shares and merger money?"
