The ultimate betrayal

The music pulsed through the crowded room, a kaleidoscope of colors and laughter swirling around her. Roland stood at the edge of the party, his eyes scanning the sea of faces until they landed on her- Claudia, the host, and his sister-in-law. As Roland made his way through the throng, a glass of champagne was thrust into his hand, and he found himself face-to-face with Claudia. "Happy birthday brother-in-law" She wished him with a smile and hugged him. "Thank you" "Where is my sister, I haven't seen her" Claudia ask with enthusiasm. "she's upstairs". Roland replied.

Within a blink of an eye, Roxanne came downstairs as all eyes were focused on her, her red dress twirled around her shimmering in the dark but couldn't conceal her alluring beauty. All the guests glanced at her as if they saw an angel, "wow, she looks so beautiful" one of the guests murmured. While everyone was admiring the dazzling scenery, Roland put on a black suit and walked towards her with a bouquet.  Every step he took, a series of thumbing gorgeous red hearts wafted up from the floor made of crystal glass.

He presented the bouquet to Roxy, bowed to her requesting to have a dance with her. Roxy smiled as she accepted the request to dance with him. They danced to the soft sound of piano masterpieces echoing across the hall that slowly warmed the hearts of the listeners. Claudia stood alone at the service counter, jealousy crawling all over her as she ground her teeth cursing Roxanne. "This bitch, she dares dance with my man, I will make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life," she said with a heart full of ambition. Claudia walked amidst the crowd, she squinted as she nibbled on her bottom lip, gesturing to Roland. He understood the language. "Thank you, everyone today is not just my husband's birthday, it is also our anniversary. I would also take this chance to thank my sister and husband. These two years, because of my ears I haven't been going to the company much, thank you both for taking care of everything" Roxanne expressed her gratitude to them. "Sister, though you're not at the company every day, you've always been the one making all the decisions.
