Chapter 3

I rushed back to the villa. I was devastated, sad and angry at the same time that I had been betrayed after what I had seen and heard today.

Leo is not who I thought. He used me! He cheated on me ! But how many times? Where ? When ? And why ? I had doubts when we were together, but there, I saw absolutely everything!

I was angry with him and her!

He who told me he only loved me and blah blah blah! And the other bitch who kept telling me that she and Leo were just friends.

Annoyed, I remove the ring from my ring finger and throw it in the trash. I didn't want that engagement ring anymore, it didn't mean anything anymore and it never meant anything because he didn't care about me from the start. I could not believe it.

Leo and Melina. Leo and his childhood friend. I had noticed that they were close, really very close for simple friends. I also remember that day, that day when I started to see doubts about their so-called "friendship". I never should have forgiven him that day, if only I was smarter and less stupid.

*FLASHBACK*

I had finished my work earlier, so I decided to surprise Leo, my fiancé.

I go to our house and enter the house quietly, however, I hear voices in the kitchen. That of my fiancé and Melina. But what the hell is she doing here?! She must have been in Spain, as Leo told me! Then why is she here?!

"When will we meet again?" Melina asked

How does "when will we see each other again"?!

"I don't know Melina." Said a deep voice that was none other than my fiancé, Leo

I'm listening to their conversation when suddenly my phone rings. Shit from shit!

"Who is here ?" Said Leo

I decide to show myself and I see Leo's head fall apart.

"Emily?

- Well what honey? Aren't you happy to see me?

-Yes, yes, but I thought you would come back at 10 p.m.

"I finished early." I replied coldly.

My heart sinks when I see Melina. She was dressed in a simple MY fiancé t-shirt and the worst part was that she was not wearing any shorts. She was in panties! Or rather in a thong!

"Melina, weren't you supposed to be in Spain? What the hell are you doing here with MY fiancé's t-shirt and panties on top?"

Leo and she don't answer me, and lower their heads, which makes me angry.

"You don't have a mouth?! And you fucking piss me off! Fuck you!"

I leave the house ignoring Leo's cries.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I remember very well what Leo said to me. That jerk told me she was wearing her t-shirt because she didn't have a change of clothes. No kidding ! She could have put my clothes on and avoided walking around in a thong. And he also told me that the reason she didn't go to Spain was because her mother was "suffering" and she didn't want to leave her alone. Yeah, that's it ! If she didn't want to leave her alone, why did she go to my husband's house, surely to comfort himself. Pffft! Comfort her in bed yeah!

I hadn't spoken to Leo for a week, however, I was so in love with him that I forgave him and today I truly regret believing in him and his love. He was making fun of me from the start and that's what annoys me the most. The fact of having believed in his words of love, of having given him my trust, puts me beside myself.

Why did I believe in him? Why did I fall in love with him?

There is only one answer to that, I was too naive! I believed too much in fairy tales, in prince charming, but fortunately now, I have opened my eyes. I have matured.

"Are you home my darling?"

I jump and turning around, I see my grandmother laughing.

"You scared me grandma!" I cried putting a hand on my chest

"This is my revenge for what you did to me yesterday. Remember? When you came in and screamed like crazy?

- Yes, I remember grandma, no need to remember.

"What were you thinking?" She asked me.

To Leo and Melina.

"To nothing." I lied as I sat down on the chair.

"Liar."

I blow.

"Grandma, I don't feel like talking about this right now."

She nods her head before staring at me for several seconds. But why is she staring at me like that?!

"What ?

-What what ?

-Grandma, you've been looking at me for several minutes without saying anything. What's the matter ? Something is wrong ?"

She nods her head in response.

"You're not going to like it."

Oh no ! I've already had my dose and she has to add more?! But why am I always in bad luck?

"What's wrong with me?

-Tonight, people will come to dine here.

-Okay, but where is the problem?

-Emily, these people are your parents.

"WHAT?!" I yelled as I stood up.

Tell me I'm dreaming?! I'm really pissed off!

My parents ? Did she say "my parents"?! Damn tell me I'm dreaming?! Is it bad news day or what?!

I think I'm going to pass out.

First I find out that my ex-fiancé has been cheating on me with his "childhood friend" for I don't know how long, and now my grandmother is telling me that my parents are coming over for dinner tonight when she told me she had cut off all contact with them. I wonder what will be the next piece of news that will finish me off.

"Emy? Emy? EMY!" Repeat my grandmother before screaming my name

I jump up and stare at her, placing a hand on my chest.

"No but go ahead, shout louder!" I said sarcastically glaring at him

"Sorry, but it's just that you weren't listening to me and...

-Yes, I wasn't listening to you and I don't want to. No, but do you realize what you just told me?! Have you completely lost your mind or what?!

-Emy...

-NO!" I cut her off, yelling. "I thought you had cut off all contact with them, so why are they coming here tonight?! Eh ?! Why ?!"

She lowers her head without answering me, which has the gift of annoying me even more.

I really didn't want to see them after what they did to me. I don't even know what I'll do when they're in front of me.

Ignore them? Hit them? Kill them ? Or just ask them why they didn't believe me and why they were happy for Eric and Melina's wedding while I was rotting like shit in prison?!

Yeah, that's what I can't figure out. Not only did they accuse me of "murderer" without proof and without even giving me time to prove that I was innocent, but they also attended my ex-fiancé's wedding party.

Seriously?! What kind of parents are they? How can they do this to their own daughter? Their flesh? Their blood? How? 'Or' What ?!

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I can't hear my grandmother who has been talking to me for a while now, waving her arms in all directions.

"Emily! I've been talking in the air for ten minutes and you know damn well I hate it! Get a hold of yourself girl!

- It's rather you who should pull yourself together, Grandma.

-I know you're not happy that your parents are coming but"... She said without continuing her sentence

She really pisses me off leaving her sentences hanging. No, but it's not difficult to finish a sentence!

"Corn ?" I repeated annoyed.

"But they told me they have something really important to tell me and that's why I agreed to let them come here tonight."

Something important ? Interesting !

"Do you know what this is about?

-No, your mother didn't want to tell me on the phone, she wanted to tell me face to face.

"Did she call you?" I asked.

"Yes." She answered me

"When ?

-An hour ago. Please Emily, don't blame me, I just wanted to know what she had important to tell me, that's why I agreed to her and your father coming here. If it was for something else, I would have refused. I beg your pardon."

My heart sinks when I see her lower her head as if she had just done something stupid. It's more up to me to apologize and not to her. It was me who did the wrong thing.

"No, don't worry Grandma. I'm the one who should apologize for getting carried away." I say taking her in my arms

"Aren't you mad?

-No more now. I'm so sorry I got carried away grandma. But I have a question.

-Yes ? Tell me.

-Do you think it's a good idea that they see me here? They won't try to convince you to kick me out?!

"Don't worry sweetie, I'll never kick you out, you have my word."

She takes my face in her two hands before giving me a kiss on the forehead. I feel so good with her, the only one who has been there for me.

"What time are they arriving?

-At 20 hours. You have plenty of time to prepare."

I nod my head and go up to my room. I then head to the bathroom to take a cold shower because I really needed it after this long hard day. If my parents come here, it's really very important.
