Violet is having a party??

Barry's POV

I laugh as Jennifer hiss at my dad.

"He told us we would leave tomorrow. Why did he have to round up the work this night" she fuss

I chuckled "Well at least,we are done now" I replied with a smile. Working with Dad is hell.

"I can't go home..I mean I told Lesley to stay over with her boyfriend. I was thinking I would be home tomorrow and you know I can't sleep alone" Jenifer frowned.

"Well no problem..you can come stay at my house" I offered

She smiled.

" You have a wife," she pointed out. Why did she have to remind me about that?

"You mean a younger sister?" I responded. That was who Violet was to me. Nothing more, nothing less.

She chuckled "Stop calling her that".

"It's just so awkward. I talk to her like I'm talking to Lesley."

"Well.. you're still obliged to her" She said. I paused. It seems from the outside everyone is unaware of the big rift between Violet and I. If only they knew how Violet hated and disrespected me.

"We are getting a divorce!" I finally opened up to her. She was my best friend, what was there to hide. She gasped

"What?"

"Don't tell Dad! It's between Violet and I" I warned.

"Why?"

"Are you seriously asking me? You know we are not happily married. She's so frustrated in fact! She wants all this to end as fast as possible"

"I understand her situation..if I was in her shoes I would do worse..it's hard for her '' Jenifer says pitifully. Yeah I know it's very hard for Violet to accept what her parents did to her. But I guess she was lucky after all to be arranged with me. I hadn't made life hell for her once.

"Barry!" My dad shouted as he burst out of the conference room where we had just finished having a meeting. "Go home now, you have a wife, stop talking to the devil that is not married..resist temptation!" my father blurted walking out. He sounded like he hated Jenifer, but he really didn't. He just didn't want me with other girls and he knows how close Jenifer and I were. All he was doing was to protect his contract with Violet's parents by ensuring I was of good behavior.

"Wha.." Jennifer raised her brow. Surprised at his harsh words.

"Don't take his words Seriously!" I said and held her hands. It looks like she was already upset. She had to.

"It's almost midnight..let's go" I said before she changed her mind and we both went to the parking lot after carefully checking whether my dad had gone

*

"Your wife loves music?"Jennifer asked when we got to my apartment.

"Call her Violet" I corrected her. Violet wouldn't like to be called that.

"Oh sorry" she chuckled. "Looks like Violet loves music a lot. I mean your house sounds like a disco club!"

"I'm surprised as well too..the little girl is having fun when I'm not home"

"Lol. Freedom!" She raised her hands up and demonstrated. I chuckled as I drove into the garage. Violet was the only one who wouldn't wait till I parked in the garage. I got down from my car and locked it up.

"Barry?"Jennifer called.

"Yes?" I answered her and I saw her pointing at something. I turned back to look at two teenagers in my garage making out. What the? Where did they come from? I looked back at Jennifer and my instinct was 'go inside' and so ran inside. I was extremely shocked to see a lot of children in my house…

Whatever teenagers.

Jennifer caught up with me as we both stood at the door looking at a party full of teens doing dirty stuff. My mouth was left agape. I walk inside gently as Jennifer holds my hand. She could feel the shock running through my veins.

"She's immature..don't blame her" she whispered to me.

"It is my house not hers!" I whispered and shouted back, trying to control my resentment.

"She doesn't know it that way..don't scold her pleeeaase" Jenifer pleaded

"She should have let me know"

But you guys don't talk!"

"Hey look guys..Violet's husband is here!" I heard a boy say and all of them turned to my direction and started murmuring.

"Violet puppet you meant.." another boy said and they all laughed. I rolled my eyes to what these kids were doing.

"Are you surprised.." the boy says again "your wife is throwing a party behind your back..of course that's because you can't do a thing.. you puppet!" he said and all of them roared in laughter.

Violet came running down the stairs as I turned to look at her. It was like she was informed I was here already or maybe it was just pure coincidence. What was she even doing upstairs, she was the host and she was to ascertain things went well down here. She stopped on her track and swallowed hard. I stare at her closely. She was wearing makeup??. She had really thrown a party.

"Come on Violet..come tell this puppet of yours to go to his room till we're done" the boy said again.

Violet hurried downstairs and rushed to the boy. "Shut up Blake, you are drunk!" She shouted at him.

"What? Are you scared of him..what did you tell us earlier.."

"That's right violet..what did you tell us earlier.." another said

"You had said you ruulle the house..isn't it?"

"Shut up Blake!"

"Violet..were you just lying to all of us that you aren't scared of your husband?" another said

"No…" I heard Violet shout at the boy. "I..I..i am not scared of him..and like I told you all earlier..i rule the house"

Wait..she really said that? Is that what she uses to impress her friends?

" And Barry is your puppet?" One asked and she nodded.

"Yes..h..he's my puppet." She responded plainly to my face.

I stood stunned and stared at the immature little girl In front of me who was trying to prove to her classmate she was the boss.

"Well then..throw him this cup of alcohol right on his face if you aren't scared.." one girl said and they all chorused 'yes'.

She isn't going to do it..is she? She's coming forward. She isn't going to…

'splat' the alcohol splash directly on my face and I closed my eyes in shame. Violet really did that? I opened my eyes slowly and stared at her blankly as she also stared with no emotion. What has gotten into her.

"She's immature,"I heard Jennifer whisper to me again. She was just trying to control me from over reacting. Wait overreacting? What Violet rid was enough for anyone to.I sigh and walk out and all of them cheered for Violet. She won hun? I guess she should feel on top of the world now.
