Freya
I felt my heart tighten in my chest as I watched with horror, my fiancé and my best friend having sex in the hotel. They were so engrossed and couldn't even care less that they were half naked and anyone who cared, could see them from the glass wall of the building's fourth floor. Sonia was pressed to the wall while Dennis worked her insides from behind. I couldn't hear her moans but with every second that I imagined it, my heart sank the more.
Tears flooded my face as I flashed into the last two years of my life when I met Dennis. He was everything I wanted and more. Tall, handsome, broad shoulders and chest, I couldn't stop drooling as he pulled me into a hug. For a moment there, my heart forgot how to beat, and the moment he smiled and introduced himself, I knew I was going to marry him. I had fallen hard in love with him.
Before then, Dennis and I had been talking online for two months. Sonia matchmade us, and though I didn't want another relationship at the time, she had convinced me to give love another chance. They were high school friends, and she had claimed he saw my pictures on her phone and begged that she introduce me to him.
I had been burned in my past relationships, they all just wanted me for my dad's billions, so after a couple of heartbreaks that always left me shattered, I decided to just focus on myself.
"Maybe love isn't my thing. Not everyone gets lucky, you know." I had said amid tears to Sonia after my last relationship ended because I wouldn't give my new car to him.
"Oh my goodness, Freya, please don't say that. You're the sweetest person I know and trust me, you're going to find love soon. It's going to be sweet, intense, and you're going to be thankful that none of these worked. That's how much that man is going to love you." Sonia had tried to console me.
I met Sonia in college. We bumped into each other on our first day on campus. She explained how her parents were poor, and she was on scholarship and couldn't even afford a place yet. Meanwhile, the school had given me a whole building because of my dad's huge donations to the school. I then asked her to move in with me and that was it. She became my best friend from then.
It was our graduation pictures that Dennis saw on her phone and prompted him to seek after me. I was skeptical at first, but from the first night when we talked on the phone, I had been hooked. I fell for his sweet husky voice and words, and when I saw him, I fell harder.
He ticked all my boxes in a weird way. He was everything I wanted in a man other than one thing. Money. He was still struggling at his low-level intern job, but I didn't care.
I begged my dad to give him a job in his company, and he had warned that I stay away from Dennis. There was something about him that put my dad off, but being his sweet only child, he couldn't say no to me. He could never.
Dennis was hired, and everything was going well with us until a year ago, when I became the manager of the company. He started acting cold, but I was too stupid in love and never read much into it. Instead, I even found his cold attitude towards me special.
Never did I ever imagine it was because he was cheating on me with my best friend. As for Sonia, why introduce a man to me when you knew you would still snatch him from me? What kind of sick behavior is that?
I swiped open my phone and stared at the text that lured me to the hotel. It'd been a while since Dennis and I were intimate, so I was at home, making plans to set the mood for when he got back. I was trying out my lingerie when I got an anonymous text, asking me to come to a hotel.
I thought it was Dennis. He was the only one who could do that. I stupidly thought he was trying to surprise me too.
"Maybe he has noticed the friction between us and wants to spice things up." I muttered to myself as I hopped into the car and drove straight to the hotel.
I was right in a way though. It was indeed a surprise. Just not the one I expected.
I hurried upstairs but just before I turned the last corner, I looked up and my heart stopped.
It was Dennis and Sonia, tongue deep in each other's throat as they struggled to get into the room before they tear each other apart. I stood there, watched as they giggled and ran into the room like two teenagers in love.
Hot tears poured down my face again as I read the text for the umpteenth time.
"Heartbroken?' a strange voice rose beside me.
I quickly looked back, and my eyes squeezed into a frown.
"And you are?" I quizzed.
"I must say, he's actually good. Still lacking in some areas though," He replied, deliberately ignoring me.
I wasn't in the mood for another man-drama, so I got up and turned to leave.
"Not going to stay for the whole show?" He teased, following me like an annoying jerk I know his type to be.
"Leave me alone! I don't know who you are, so leave me the hell alone!!" I yelled at him. All the pain and anger that had built up in me, bursting out all at once.
