Cruel Love

CHAPTER ONE

It was late in the night, the cold rain pounded mercilessly against the cold skin of Aurora Gibson, her wild hair was splattered on a pale looking face. Her small frame looked even more fragile than usual.

She was completely drenched to the skin but her heart was too numb to realize it, neither did she realize the weird stares she earned as she roamed the street in no preferred direction

The few hours she had spent in the doctor's office replayed in her mind continuously, his softly spoken but fatal statement lingered in her head.

Sam was only six!

He hasn't even gotten to learn anything about life!

Aurora's feet slowed to a stop and she realized she had somehow managed to find her way home if the large cold building in front of her could be described as such.

She lifted her chin to stare at the stormy clouds, perhaps they provided more comfort than what was waiting for her behind the beautiful gates.

The moment she stepped into the large living room, her eyes instinctively shifted up the stairs.

Her husband's bedroom.

She wondered if George Peterson was home.

Faint moans which echoed the living room answered her questions.

She didn't realize when her feet slowly led her up the stairs, the pleasurable moans which were coming from her husband's door got even louder.

"Arrgh! I love you so much! Fvck me yes! Show me how much you love me!" The woman's breathless voice sounded.

It wasn't the first time it was happening, but the pain Aurora received in her heart each time hurt a millionth times than the last.

Where had she gone wrong? Why was everyone hellbent on hurting her? Would they only stop when she is dead?

"Yes! fvck me on your matrimonial bed! Yes! Yes!"

She tried to block away from the sounds, she had told herself that she wouldn't shed another tear over her husband's cheating ways, which he hadn't bothered to make a secret of.

The only person who meant the entire world to her was fighting for his life in the hospital.

Her heart squeezed tightly as she remembered Sammie as she loved to call him, his small body had been covered in so many tubes. He wouldn't survive another year, not unless his surgery is performed. But from where was she supposed to get a million dollars?

Her job at the saloon would never raise such an amount, not even in a million years to come!

Her body shivered uncontrollably, and for the first time, she realized how drenched she was, her wet clothes were dripping all over the carpeted floor.

She started to leave when the door behind her clicked open.

"Aurora when did you get here? Were you listening to us this whole time? you should have known not to return early, not when I'm having a good time with your husband. " A sultry voice rang out.

A slow flame spread across Aurora's heart, she didn't want to turn around to find the owner of the voice.

Cassandra Gates.

Her former best friend.

Whatever was left of her grieving heart hardened to stone.

"What is this behavior? You can't look at me even now? I already explained to you so many times, it isn't my fault that your husband fell in love with me, I didn't want to hurt you this way but what could I do? I still consider you my best friend, but apparently, you don't want to even look at me"

The mockery Cassandra hadn't bothered to hide made the flame in Aurora's heart burned even hotter, she turned around to face Cassandra who was dressed in a pale red flimsy material that left little to the imagination, a cold smile spread across her dry lips.

"Exactly how low can you stoop? "

At that moment, George appeared through the door, there wasn't a hint of remorse in his face as he regarded Aurora's drenched form, the disgust apparent on his face.

"I think you both deserve each other, I've never seen a more shameless deserving couple." The smile on Aurora's face was icy, she could not stay in the presence of these disgusting couples for seconds longer, she started to leave, but once again Cassandra's voice stopped her.

"Then why won't you divorce him Aurora, don't you have the slightest bit of self respect? Neither his heart nor his body will ever belong to you! Just what do you need from us? " The desperation Cassandra couldn't hide strained in her voice.
