The forbidden fruit 4

Amanda's POV

My so called fiancé, lying half naked underneath my naked best friend as she bounced over him, her head thrown in the air and their loud moans filling the room. The more I watched, the more painful it felt.

Without thinking, I rushed over to them, my hands on her head, grabbing a handful of her hair before dragging her off his body. I didn't wait for her to regain her balance and immediately pounced on her, hitting her so hard I'm sure it would leave bruises on her fragile body.

Just then, I felt something hard it me and fell face flat on the floor. I looked over and saw Richard, my Richard helping the bitch up. He had pushed away me just to save her from me. Me... the one carrying his child.

"What the hell is wrong with you! You betrayals! What did I ever do get this treatment from you both? I opened my heart to you Richard and my home to you Amanda but you did this to me?" I asked, my voice cracking with so much pain and anger.

Seeing my fiance treating her with so much care made me even more enraged but I was too weak to stand up to them.

Amanda's face twisted into a devious smirk bent her neck to match my gaze;

"Then you must understand how I felt when I found out you were sharing a bed with my husband in my matrimonial home."

The moment those words left her mouth, it felt like I had been poured with a huge bucket of cold water. She knew??

"You knew??" I voiced out my fear and confusion.

"Why wouldn't I? The both of you weren't exactly hiding it." She sneered at me.

She knew and she never once confronted me? She wanted to pay me back by infecting me with such a disease in my state.

"But... you..."

"After finding out, I thought of how many ways to deal with you. Afterall, I opened my arms and welcomed you into my home but you stabbed me so hard like the vicious snake you are but I couldn't let my scum husband to enjoy making me a fool either so I decided to deal with him first."

"You see, his sickness, I made him get infected with it." She laughed out like a mad woman.

"So you transferred the illness to me too??" I was right!!

"Ohh no... it isn't exactly what you think. Like I told you, I'm not infected, neither is Richard. I set up the bastard Anothony with someone who's already infected and he fell easily since he can't control anything underneath a skirt." She chuckled.

"As for you, that hospital you always get your test done, I had someone use on you a needle already used on an infected patient." She explained.

Hearing her confession, I almost forgot how to breathe. She planned all these for two years and right under my nose, did this to me..

"So, it was all a lie. All you told me to get me to let you stay here??" Even after everything, I still couldn't get myself to apologize to her. She did me way worse than I did her.

"Not really. Anthony really was violent, that's the main reason I made him suffer this hard. Only difference is my parents offered to let me in but I just couldn't allow the both of you go scot free."

I sucked in a shaky breath, the truth hitting harder and harder each passing moment. My wet eyes moved to Richard, hoping he would at least support me. We've both made mistakes but now, he's the only one I can turn to.

"Richard..." I raised my hand and tried to touch him but he only slapped my hands off in disgust.

"Don't lay your filthy hands on me anymore!" That sentence was far too familiar. It felt like I was finally seeing him for who he really was. Who knows what lies Amanda must have fed to him.

"I'm now disgusting to you after every love confession you've made to me, the sex we've had. I'm carrying yiur child for Christ's sake!" I screamed out in pain.

"And the only reason I stooped so low to your level is because Amanda asked me to." What did he just say? I must be hearing things.

"Wh..what??"

"Do you think I could ever love filth like you?? Those nights I spent with you were the worst times of my life. You can't even bear to imagine how I felt during the times I confessed my so called love to you." He grumbled in disgust.

Amanda smiled and light tapped his chest;

"So sorry baby... it's over now so you don't have to keep pretending." She whispered, kissing him lovingly right in front of me.

The more revelations I was subjected to, the more my entire life felt like a lie. They played me, for two whole years, making me a look like a fool all for this moment of endless torment.

I loved him to much but he never did. Was what I did to Amnada that bad to warrant all this? I couldn't stop myself from bursting out into tears right in front of them.

"W.. was I that wrong? Did you really have to go this far in punishing me?" I croaked out amidst my tears.

"Yes!" She screamed in anger.

"And you deserve way more but I want you alive because seeing you suffer will be the least payment you can give to make up for betraying me."

I bowed my head, crying harder and louder.

"And the child... what am I supposed to do with the child? I.. I can't have a child in my condition." I whispered to myself but it seemed like they heard me.

"Do whatever you want because I'm not going to take any responsibility for a bastard from you!" Richard cussed out.

My body shook violently as more tears poured out. I got on my knees and held onto his leg.

"No... please... don't leave me. It's your child too. Please.... arhhh.." I groaned in pain when he suddenly kicked me off him.

"Sonia... Sonia..." Amanda muttered with a small tsk.

"Don't you get it yet? Richard loves me, after my useless husband finally dies, we'll get married and spend the rest of our lives together so why will he ever accept a sick child from you?" She asked me.

I might sound pathetic but I still couldn't stop begging... I didn't want to be alone at this time of my life. I didn't care if he had used me all this while, if he was faking it... I just wanted him, someone.. anyone!!

"Please.... " I begged harder "... please don't leave me. I'll do whatever you want... Just stay with me. I'll do whatever..."

Amanda only scoffed while Richard rolled his eyes at me.

"Let's go baby. We've gotten what we came here for." He said to her.

Amanda nodded and turned to put on her clothes. After, she turned to me like she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh and you can keep the house and your measly business since you'll need something to take care of your predicament." She muttered with a smirk like she was doing something good for me.

"Bye and make sure to keep continue like this.... I'll be back soon to see how much you've suffered!" Their loud laughter filled the room before they left me just like he did back then, sprawled on the floor with my face drowning in my tears.

This time, I had no one but myself to curse at. I brought all this to myself. I don't know if what I did warranted all this but now I know I shouldn't have tried to take what wasn't mine.

I did this to myself and I'll have to live the rest of my life, paying for my greed. I betrayed my best friend but at what cost? I tasted the forbidden fruit and it has come back to bite me where it hurts the most.

Do I regret what I did then? I do now and if I'm given another chance to make things right, I won't hesitate to do the needful.

I guess, this is my very own karma.
