Chapter 1 The Cheaters

"D*mn IT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Audery's screams echoed in the 3x4 meter bedroom, bouncing anger from wall to wall.

A pair of n*ked people on a large bed in the middle of the room, the man on top of the woman, both sweating and breathing rapidly, turned their heads with incredible shock in their eyes and both stared blankly at Audrey who was standing in the doorway with eyes shining as sharp as samurai swords.

Sandford Claine, the man--Audery's lover for the last three years, slowly got off Angelina Tevord's body, who, about two minutes before Audrey kicked in the bedroom door, was riding her pa*sionately.

Angelina quickly grabbed a blanket and covered her body up to her neck, while Sandford covered his hips.

Audrey approached them and glared at them without saying anything. What was displayed before her eyes now was enough to prove her suspicions about the relationship between Sandford and Angelina secretly behind her back.

Audrey's blood rushed to her head, making her vision blurry and her eyes hot from the tears that were pressing behind her eyes.

However, Audrey restrained herself from crying. Not in front of these two betrayers of her heart, who would definitely make a joke out of her if she shed tears now.

All this time, Audrey has always tried to make her lover and best friend get along. She loves them both. Angelina has been her friend since college and Sandford is her lover for almost three years.

Sandford always considered Angelina a bullying friend who never let him be alone in peace with Audrey.

On the other hand, Angelina thinks Sandford is a man who is not suitable for Audrey and does not agree with Audrey dating this spoiled and arrogant man.

It turned out that the fighting and criticizing each other between them all this time in front of Audrey was just a pretense. The two of them acted in front of her all the time.

"sh*t! You shouldn't have come on a whim, Audrey!" Sandford snapped irritably.

He didn't expect Audrey to come at all.  As far as he knew, this afternoon Audrey had to undergo an important operation at St. Farin's Hospital, where she works.

"ba*tard, you gave me your spare key!" Audrey took a key from her trouser pocket and threw it at Sandford and hit him on his bare chest.

She accused Angelina who remained silent, not daring to move. "How long have you been sleeping with that bi*ch? Hypocritical woman, apparently you secretly want my boyfriend? What's it like to sleep with him? Are you satisfied with his ability to only last three minutes?"

Sandford's face turned red when he heard Audrey's words. "Don't talk carelessly, Audrey! You should know yourself. I have given you the code many times that it will be difficult for us to continue our relationship because my parents don't like you. You are an orphan and that will harm my family's reputation," said Sandford in a blaming tone.

"Oh, so now it's all my fault? How great is your family to be so afraid that the orphaned me will tarnish your reputation? You're such a coward and can only play behind my back!"

"Shut your mouth, Audrey, I will stay with Angelina because she is more worthy of me. You'd better--"

"Please, Mr. Coward Claine, I'm sick of you being weak too! Just watch, one day this orphan woman will make you regret it half dead because you betrayed me!"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Huh, why bother, you're not that important to me," snorted Audrey while covering her nose. "This room smells like garbage and it's getting worse and worse!"

Audrey turned and walked to the dressing table. She took Sandford's car keys then walked to the door and pulled the key from the lock.

"I hope you don't drown in your own rottenness, trash!"

Audrey then left the room, closed and locked the door from the outside.  Sandford and Angelina were shocked.

Sandford banged on the door while cursing and was met with loud laughter from Audrey from outside.

Tears began to roll down Audrey's cheeks, but she quickly wiped them away. She couldn't cry now. Angelina and Sandford might still be able to hear it even though they were locked in that evil room.

She saw Angelina's bag on the sofa and took it. She took everything out of the bag, turned on the oven and put everything in. Audrey waited a moment and made sure everything was almost melted, then turned off the oven and poured a basin of water into it.

Audrey exits Sandford's apartment after pressing the fire button which causes noise along the second floor corridor.

Audrey trudged to the parking lot and got into the Rubicon that Sandford had bought just two months ago and drove casually.

She tries hard to be calm, but her heart felt very sore. She cried loudly while driving to Star Hills, the site of her first date with Sandford.

She remembered the ba*tard's words that his family didn't like and didn't accept Audrey because she was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. They were worried that Audrey's condition would tarnish their family name and reputation.

Then, when one day Audrey and Sandford met his mother, the woman didn't look at her at all and instead asked her son about Angelina.

They are very petty and arrogant.  This made Audrey even more fed up and she thought of something, then stopped at a minimarket and bought two bottles of vodka.'

Audrey stopped the car on the west side of the hill, the one closest to the lake.  She opened the vodka bottle and drank the contents bit by bit. The spicy liquid rolled into her chest, and her tears broke in more instense. Her heart was sank.

"Sandford Claine, you ba*tard! You thinks you can get away with me so easily, after betraying and lying to me? NO!!!" Audrey cursed loudly, her eyes were red from crying,  "You and your arrogant family will feel my revenge someday, and so will that bi*ch Angelina! Just watch, you guys!"

With puffy eyes, Audrey hit the steering wheel hard and poured the remaining vodka in the bottle in her hand into the car, soaking the new car's interior.

Then she opened a second bottle and poured its contents onto the outside of the car. Audrey took out cigarettes and matches bought from minimarket and lit a cigarettes and threw it toward the engine.

The fire in the cigarette came into contact with the vodka, causing the flames to spread quickly to the shiny and dashing black car.

Audrey looked at the flames engulfing the inside of the car and with a smirk raised her middle finger at the car.

"bi*ch! You guys deserve this. My revenge will be more painful and humiliating than this!"

Audrey's voice echoed along the hill and disappeared into the procession of clouds above the hill, yet, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

She loved that ba*tard for three years with all heart. Wake up at 5 a.m. and make breakfast for him every workday of these three years. Do all the housework after operating an exhausted eight-hour surgery.

She want to make Sandford happy. Take care of him and always do what he wants her to do. But that man treated her like nothing and cheated with her best friend!

Audrey took out another cigarette and smoked.

Cough cough cough ...

It was her first time smoking. The aroma of mint and chocolate from the slender cigarette hit her nose, making her choke a little.

It is said that smoking makes people forget their troubles, but Audrey still felt very painful. She was wondering how many cigarettes would relieve her pain.

Finishing one cigarette slowly, Audrey turned and walked quickly down the hill. The crackling sound of the fire made Audrey's smile grow bitter.

She had just set foot on the path at the bottom of the hill, when her phone rang.

Audrey looked at the phone screen and cringed when she saw the caller's name on the phone screen. Reluctantly she touched the green button.

"DOCTOR AUDREY ELLENORA JACE, WHEREVER YOU ARE AND WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING, QUICKLY BRING YOUR a*s TO ME, NOW!"
