CHAPTER 2: HEARTBREAK AND BETRAYAL

CHAPTER 2

Roxanna's POV

My whole words crumbled before my very eyes as I watched my supposed fiance and my stepsister.

How could Devian break the trust I had in him this much? Didn't he love me? He said he did.

But what was all this?

“Roxanna, I can explain.” Devian suddenly said as he put on his shorts and climbed off the bed, I saw a smirk form on Reina's face as she sat up on the bed, using the blanket to cover herself up.

“Roxanna, it's not what you think” Devian began to say as he came to stand before me, but before he could proceed with his words, I raised my hand to slap him.

Devian’s eyes widened as he held onto the side of his face I had struck.

“Explain what?! That you're sleeping around with my sister?!” I yelled as tears stung my eyes.

Devian always professed love to me each time we were together, we even had our marriage coming up in two weeks.

But all this while I was getting overly excited, the man was whoring around with my step sister.

Devian's gaze darkened as he glared at me.

“Fine! It's exactly what you think! Yes, I slept with Reina!” He shamelessly admitted as he stood before me with a darkened gaze.

I stiffened in shock as a part of me had been begging him to at least still try to give a reasonable explanation why he cheated on me.

“I chose Reina instead of you, I love Reina and I can't even imagine I was willing to end up with someone like you! You're ugly, disgusting and so huge. You could sit on me and I'd snap like a damn twig! Lose some fucking weight bitch.” He yelled again.

My heart clenched at every word that came out of his mouth, his words were like venom, trying to consume my soul as the tears kept flowing out of my eyes.

“Devian, why? After everything we've been through together, you still went ahead to betray the love we shared.” I said through clenched teeth, but Devian laughed out.

“We shared? Roxanna, I'm sorry to say this but I was always in love with Reina and not you. You're nothing to me.” He spat out and I staggered in shock as his words hit me with a force that shattered me.

This was not the Devian I used to know. My Devian was nowhere to be found.

“What's going on here?” I heard a voice from behind, but I didn't even need to turn to know that it was my father.

I wasn't surprised that he followed me all the way here. He had a big ego and would never let me walk out on him without punishment.

I saw Reina hurriedly put on Devian’s shirt shamelessly as she climbed off the bed too.

“Father, you're here.” She said softly as my father walked further into the room.

I turned slightly to see him glaring at me.

“What other troubles have you come here to cost you this child?!” He yelled in my face as I shuddered and shut my eyes.

“Father, I caught Devian and Reina together in bed. How could Reina do this to me?” I asked him, watching his face and waiting for a reasonable reply from him.

My father averted his gaze from me and replied, “So what? You both aren't married yet and besides it's Devian's choice. He is old enough to make the decisions and choose what he wants. It's not my fault that he chose your sister.” The shameless words that came out of my father's mouth were the most disgusting words I heard in my entire life.

I turned to Devian, and he also averted his gaze. “Father, did you just hear what you just said yourself?!” This time, I couldn't hold back the anger in me as I yelled at him, but the next minute, I felt a slap descend on my face and my head swiped to the other side.

I held onto the side of my face that stung so much from the slap just now, then I turned to see who had slapped me.

It was Evelyn as she had a deathly glare on her face.

“How dare you raise your stupid voice on your father?!” She asked in anger and I saw Reina smile at me from the corners of her eyes.

“Mum, stop!” She yelled and suddenly ran up to her mum with a pitiful look in her eyes.

“Mum please don't hit big sis, she has every right to be mad. I'm the one to blame here.” she said and cast her gaze down to appear dainty and caring.

I knew all this was just an act of hers as usual. She never missed any chance to make me look bad.

“It's not your fault Honey, she's just jealous that you're better than she is!” Evelyn said and pulled her daughter close. I glared at them both in anger.

“Reina, I thought I could trust you,” I said to her, feeling stunned by everything that was unfolding. I had to pass through all these at this time of my life when I needed help the most.

My brother at the hospital, my fiance cheating on me and everything.

Reina turned to me and blinked.

“I'm sorry, Sister Roxanna, but please don't take Devian from me.” She suddenly uttered and her mother walked forward immediately.

“She can't take him from you when she is already getting married to someone else.”

My head shot in her direction and I saw a smirk on her face.

“What? Getting married to someone else?” Reina asked and Evelyn nodded.

“Since you're pregnant for Devian already, I th_”

“Pregnant?” I cut her short in shock, “Sof–So–Reina is pregnant?” I asked in a shaky voice and Reina nodded shyly with a small smile.

“Who owns the child?” I asked again, my heart beat accelerating as I already guessed the answer.

“It's Devian's.” She replied and the tears I was holding in came rushing out of my eyes.

Devian got Reina pregnant? That was the most disgusting thing I could ever imagine.

My stomach churned in disgust as I felt like vomiting. Devian was having a child with my step sister?

“As I was saying, since Reina is already pregnant for Devian, why not let Roxanna here take her place and get married to Ciel   Sébastien  instead?” Evelyn continued her words.

I turned to look at her and shook my head.

“I won't marry him.”

“Sorry sweetheart, I already accepted their proposal on your behalf. And the wedding is set to happen tomorrow. Yes, it's fast because they're desperate to marry off their handicapped son.” She chuckled at the last part while I shivered in fear.

This family of mine was hell. Everyone had a twisted mind and didn't care for you except for their selfish gains.

“After the wedding with Ciel is completed tomorrow, I would personally pay in money to commence the treatments for your brother's surgery. Now be a good girl and go back home to prepare.” Evelyn said sternly, not giving me a break to even think it through.

Reina walked up to stand before me as she winked since she was backing the others.

“Sister Roxanna, please just marry Ciel for me and let me be with Devian. My child can't be without a father, and I know you wouldn't also let that happen. If you marry Devian, My child would be fatherless and the Sébastien's would never accept me because of my child. So just accept the Handicapped son.” She said, purposely adding the last part as if to mock me. The smirk on her face never vanished for once as she also tucked in her lips, stifling a laugh.

With those words said Evelyn walked up to me and pulled me by my arm roughly away from the house and straight to the car outside.

I winced at her tight grip, trying to get her hands off me, but she yanked and pushed me into the car.

“Get in and let's go home to prepare you for the wedding!”
