"I'm sorry, Sarafina, but I can't attend the party. Today is my sister's birthday, and I need to be there," Tabitha said on the phone as she drove her car to her house.
Tabitha had bought a cake for her sister, Bianca. She had also purchased a gift, and the thought of handing her sister the gift made Tabitha's heart beat faster.Tabitha was excited. She couldn't wait to see the reaction on her sister's face when she wished her a happy birthday."I still laugh about how much you love your family. You still don't believe me when I say they don't love you. You don't need to attend her birthday, just come with me!" Sarafina, Tabitha's friend, said on the phone.Sarafina's words irritated Tabitha."I've asked you not to make comments like that about my family. I find it offensive, and I'm going to end this call. Enjoy your party!" Tabitha responded, her voice tinged with anger.Immediately after saying what she wanted to, Tabitha hung up the call.Tabitha tossed her phone and focused on the road, fuming because of what her friend said or perhaps because her friend was right.Regardless, Tabitha loved her family and didn't plan to listen to anyone's opinion about her family.Soon, Tabitha arrived home, and the excitement she felt about giving her sister a gift filled her heart once more.Tabitha carefully retrieved the cake from the passenger seat and then the gift she had bought for her sister. The gift was a beautiful dress, and its cost had been quite substantial, further emphasizing its value to Tabitha."I hope she likes it," Tabitha muttered as she envisioned the various reactions her sister, Bianca, might have when she received the gift.With the cake and gift in hand, Tabitha made her way towards the entrance of her home, in a joyful mood."I don't think we should be doing this here, Donald," Bianca, a woman with short black hair, protested, pushing a man away."How can I resist you, Bianca?" Donald replied, pulling Bianca back into his embrace. He gazed at her with lust in his eyes as his hands roamed her body, eliciting a soft, suppressed moan from Bianca."Wouldn't you like a birthday present?" Donald asked, his breathing slightly heavy. His desire for Bianca was so intense that he had to rely on sheer willpower to restrain himself from indulging further."What if Tabitha catches us here?" Bianca inquired, her eyes locked with Donald's as his warm breath caressed her nose. While she wanted the same, she exercised caution. However, deep down, Bianca didn't really care if her sister caught them."Tabitha isn't home, darling. How about a birthday kiss?" Donald, who was actually Tabitha's fiancé, said to Bianca.Tabitha entered the house, being careful with the way she carried the cake.There was no actual party happening yet; any gathering was scheduled for the evening.Tabitha had arrived early because she was too excited to wish her sister.However, upon reaching the living room, she noticed how quiet the house was, so she gently placed the cake down and proceeded down the corridor that led to Bianca's room.In the end, Bianca had agreed to let Donald in as they both succumbed to their carnal desires. They were passionately kissing their way into her room, and Tabitha managed to catch a glimpse of what was transpiring as they pushed each other into Bianca's room.The intense desire between the two had become so overpowering that they were oblivious to Tabitha's approaching footsteps.Tabitha's heart pounded fiercely, and she couldn't believe her eyes. She saw what she had seen but hoped deep down that it wasn't real.Seeking confirmation, Tabitha headed straight to Bianca's room and cautiously opened the unlocked door.The barely restrained moans and groans she could hear before she peeked into the room already painted a vivid picture of what was happening on the other side of the door. Still, she needed to see it with her own eyes.Had she truly seen Bianca and Donald together, or had she made a terrible mistake?Tabitha knew what she had seen and was merely trying to hold onto a glimmer of hope.Bianca and Donald believed that Tabitha couldn't be home at that hour, but she was, and she caught them undressing in haste.From what she witnessed, Tabitha realized that this couldn't have been their first time. The way they clung to each other made it painfully clear that they had been betraying her for a long time.Tears welled up in Tabitha's eyes as she silently watched them. She left the door opened and quietly retreated from the scene.Back in the living room, Tabitha gazed at the cake she had prepared for her sister on the center table. With trembling hands, she opened the cake box and used her fingers to smash the cake, consuming it herself."How could you do this to me?" Tabitha cried, the echoing moans throughout the house breaking her even more.Tabitha was in tears. The person she had seen in Bianca's room was not an outsider; it was her own sister. How could she betray her like this?No, how could they betray her?Tabitha couldn't fathom the depth of the betrayal.Tabitha, consumed by anger and heartbreak, tore the cake apart with her hands and devoured some of it.Tabitha then turned her gaze to the box containing the beautiful dress she had purchased for Bianca.Seeing the dress only intensified Tabitha's tears.She swiftly removed her formal outfit and donned the dress meant for her sister.Shortly after, Tabitha was on the phone with Sarafina outside the house."I'm coming."Sarafina was excited that Tabitha had changed her mind and decided to attend the party.However, instead of heading to the party, Tabitha entered her car and aimlessly drove around the city for hours. Her heart was shattered, and the idea of suicide even crossed her mind, but Tabitha didn't act on it.Tabitha wept bitterly as she drove through the city, yearning for something to end her suffering, hoping for an accident or some misfortune. The pain and betrayal had taken a heavy toll on her.Her heart was in pieces, and it felt as though her life had come to a devastating halt.In her agony, she continued to weep.When Tabitha brought her car to a stop, it was already night.Even then, she rested her head on the steering wheel and continued to cry, overwhelmed by the excruciating pain she felt.She recalled the five years she had spent with the man she had trusted.Was it all a joke to him? Had he never been serious about their relationship?Tabitha thought back to the moment she had discovered her sister and Donald in an intimate situation."How could you do this to me?" she muttered to herself as tears streamed down her face.The pain was unbearable. Tabitha found it hard to breathe causing her to gasp for breath."How will I be able to go on, knowing that the man I've trusted all my life was a fake? He was the only one I thought understood me and my difficult life, but it was..."Tabitha held her breath and struck the steering wheel in front of her."Ahhhh!" she screamed, unable to contain her anguish.The car felt suffocating, prompting her to climb out, and moments later, she screamed again.Inside Tabitha's car, her phone was ringing.Sarafina was calling.Tabitha remained lost in her sorrow, weeping and releasing the heavy burden in her heart.After a while, Tabitha stopped shouting but continued to cry.Her knees felt weak, so she sat on the floor, continuing to grieve.It also pained Tabitha that she couldn't express her feelings to the people who had betrayed her.After a few minutes, Tabitha reentered the car and drove away from that area, on her way to family house.Tabitha didn't know why her hands, which controlled the steering wheel of the car as she drove, suddenly made a U-turn. Something inside her just felt incomplete.Tabitha took a moment away from her tearful state and was now driving back home. She felt like she needed to speak her mind.Tabitha felt she needed Bianca and Donald to understand that it wasn't okay for both of them to treat her so cruelly by betraying her.As she drove, Tabitha pondered various things and began to realize some truths about her fiancé.Taking a moment to revisit her past memories, Tabitha noticed how irritated Donald appeared whenever she was being affectionate or clingy. She recalled how he distanced himself from her whenever she made plans for them to spend time together, often claiming to be busy with work.Tabitha wasn't a relationship expert, but now, with a clearer mind, she realized that no one should be too busy for something or someone they genuinely cared about.It dawned on her that Donald li
Tabitha stepped out of the house and surveyed her surroundings. Her knees felt weak, her throat burned from holding back tears, and her body trembled.Tabitha was both physically and mentally distressed. Her heart raced as if she had just finished running a marathon. The more she thought about everything she had just discovered, the thirstier she became.Taking a few forceful deep breaths to calm her heavy breathing, Tabitha walked over to where her car was parked. With her head down, she rested her arms on the car's hood.In this position, Tabitha couldn't help but recall how sincere her ex-fiancé and stepsister had appeared to her.A chuckle escaped her lips because she desperately wanted to cry, but holding back the tears had led to a fit of laughter. Trying to reassure herself, she repeated, "I am fine. I am totally fine."With that, Tabitha entered her car and noticed that her phone was on. Coincidentally, it was ringing. Tabitha wondered if it was Sarafina, but it turned out to
Tabitha felt lonely as she stood in a spot, looking around and wondering what to do. She considered calling her friend, but before she could retrieve her phone, she heard her name and looked up. The mixture of different coloured lights made it challenging to see for someone unaccustomed to them. Yet, the familiar voice that called her seemed to be Sarefina, implying her friend could spot her amidst the colourful club lights.Sparing Tabitha from looking lost for too long, Sarafina skillfully navigated through the crowd to meet her.Soon after, Tabitha found herself seated with Sarafina's party. Moments later, the crowd dispersed to the dance floor.As everyone grooved to the music, a man in the same party Sarafina was invited to approached Tabitha, extending an invitation to join him at the counter for a drink.The man offered Tabitha several glasses of strong alcohol to which she didn't refuse. Tabitha needed to take her mind off the things that had happened in her life today, and
Silas's intention was to stand up, grab Tabitha out of the club so he could drive her home and confront the unfortunate people who bullied, mistreated, and hurt his mate. But his action was halted.If it had been a man who pulled him back, Silas definitely wouldn't have sat down. However, it was his mate.Although Tabitha didn't have the strength to pull him back, she had the power to make him sit back.Silas sat down and turned to face Tabitha, intending to ask her what she wanted, but she stood up and kissed him.Tabitha leaned closer to Silas and kissed him. A second later, she sat back down, looking into Silas's gray eyes, wondering what he thought about the kiss.Tabitha believed that Silas wouldn't resist her or push her away. She was ready to throw herself at any man, an act influenced by her unstable emotional state, further intensified by her heavily intoxicated condition, causing her to act without much consideration.Tabitha's inclination to consider cheating on her ex-fian
Sarafina left Tabitha, knowing that she had found herself a companion.Tabitha found herself in another world. The pain that lingered in her heart remained, but she couldn't remember or feel it at the moment.Tabitha allowed Silas to take her breath away. In a moment like this, she felt desperate—out of her mind—and her drunkenness seemed to provide some mental relief.Reflecting on what had happened might have driven Tabitha crazy. Being drunk made her feel better because it temporarily relieved her from the pain.Silas, on the other hand, was already carried away. Every part of his sensitive side was awakened, especially his wolf. The kiss didn't end up being just a kiss.It evolved into a deep, passionate kiss, and even after it ended, both Silas and Tabitha needed some time to recover from the intensity.Tabitha was aroused. Her eyes were closed as she panted against Silas's lips. His hot breath met hers, and she felt her face heat up. The shared alcohol breath only heightened her
Silas licked his lips as he stared at his mate as if she were a delicious meal."Do you want him to pay for breaking your heart?" This was the question Silas whispered to Tabitha's ear.Silas didn't ask that question to erase Donald from her mind but to understand her desires and provide comfort.It was also a means of understanding the kind of person his mate was."Yes."Tabitha's response was expected, and she agreed to let Silas take her away.Hearing her declaration, Silas lowered his head again and kissed Tabitha.The kiss was too sudden for Tabitha, making her uncomfortable. However, the deep and mind-blowing nature of the kiss didn't allow her to hold back.Silas, however, sensed Tabitha's discomfort from the way she held his shirt and wondered if his shirt was suffocating her.Silas broke the kiss and looked at Tabitha."What's wrong?" He asked.Tabitha appeared uneasy."I can't breathe," Tabitha replied, only for Silas to let out a laugh."That's what I want," Silas stated an
Exiting the hotel, Tabitha somehow managed to make her way back to the club parking lot to find her car. Once she found it, Tabitha checked her bag for the car keys. Fortunately, all the contents were intact, and she proceeded to unlock the car.Upon settling into the driver's seat, Tabitha glanced at the passenger seat, as if expecting something, and then sighed. Placing her bag on the passenger seat, she took several deep breaths, as if struggling to find composure.With closed eyes, Tabitha gripped the steering wheel tightly, breathing heavily through her mouth."Haaa," she continued, releasing heavy breaths, attempting to contain the weight of emotions in her heart. *Ding DingHer phone rang.Once again, another message from the people she dearly wanted to avoid at the moment.Tabitha ignored the messages she was receiving from her phone. The calls she had received on her way to the parking lot also drove her crazy, as she wasn't in the right state of mind to answer anyone or pr
"There's no chance for me," Silas stated in a low voice.Silas's expression and voice conveyed the same hopelessness he had felt during the twelve years of searching for his mate and not finding her."You're going to be the Alpha—the one making decisions for the pack and the company. You need to be strong and intelligent, Silas. Why are you letting go of your mate when you should be searching for her and bringing her to you? That's what you're supposed to do!" Kevin, his wolf, said in his head.Silas zoned out for a while. He stared into space as he thought about the actions he should take concerning his life with his mate.Silas wanted to be with his mate. He desired her. Silas didn't want to entertain the thought that he might not have a chance to be with her.Perhaps it was because she was supposed to be his, destined to be with him; perhaps it was because she was his mate that her fiancé ended up betraying her.Fate was on Silas's side.He shouldn't be too considerate and hesitant
