Chapter 1: Cheaters

Chapter 1: Cheaters

"Why don't you rest and take a break, Dad? Like a serious break for days. I do think you that really need that at this moment." I said while looking at my Dad's tired and helpless face. I was sitting here in our living room, watching TV when he arrived, probably from his company. He doesn't have anywhere to go but in his company anywah. Our thriving company that he tried so hard on lifting up again after it fell straight into the mud years ago.

Dad only looked at me with his lazy eyes, the eyes that are really identical to mine.

"If you just agreed with the deal, then I won't be probably working my ass off 'till midnight." He scoffed. There was a bitter tone in his voice when he talked about the deal, that I will never agree with.

It's just ridiculous. To be married with a stranger is a ridiculous thing for me. Well, it's not that I don't have any tiny idea about the man that my father arranged to me. I actually know him, and that's one of the reason why I will never agree into marrying such ruthless billionaire who knows nothing but to play with women and be extremely serious with work.

A man like that...is so out of my league. Definitely not my type too.

"Dad, you know that I have a boyfriend. I can't leave Calvin. I love him, and besides, we're already going to celebrate our first year anniversary tomorrow, so please, don't try to ruin the day by opening up about this ridiculous topic again." I rolled my eyes heavenwards. My father just shook his head, clearly disappointed with my answer.

What? He just can't force me to marry someone I don't love just to save our company from dropping again. Yes. I know that it was dropping again. I knew it won't survive for too long with all those competent and more modern businesses around. And the only way for it to be back in track again is to merge the company to the best company in the state.

And unfortunately, the only solution that Daddy saw is by arranging me to someone. Someone whom he knows will bring our company back to the rank again. Someone who's company is always at its best performance. The ruthless billionaire, Logan Achilles Sullivan.

"I am asking you for a one date, Brielle. Just a one date with Mr. Sullivan and I will never—"

"Dad," I cut him off, slightly glaring at my father. "Can you not?"

Really. I'm just stopping myself from talking more shits because I love my Dad so much. We're staying together eversince my good for nothing mother left us to marry a richer man when Dad's company failed and fell into a deep bankruptcy when I was seven.

It was such a bad memory to reminisce since the woman left us on the day of my birthday, the reason why I never celebrate birthdays anymore. I just hate it. Completely.

"Whatever, Brielle. Just make sure that your 'boyfriend' will never do something bad to you. Or I will really force you to marry Mr. Sullivan. Whether you like it or not." His said, voice full of authority and conviction.

I just smiled at him confidently, because I am more than sure that Calvin will never do anything that will hurt me. I know that Calvin won't break me.

Or maybe I was just too confident, huh?

"There's no way in heaven that you're going to skip class, Brielle." Adriana, my seatmate and at the same time, my best friend whispered when she saw me gathering my things from the table to put inside my bag.

I smirked at her and shrug. "Well then, I won't tell you."

Her eyes widened as she tried to peek at our Professor who's currently teaching us. Our Professor was clearly unaware of what's happening to her students at the back. She's old and she forgot to wear her glasses today, so I know that she won't clearly see things right now. Especially that we're at the back part of the room.

"What? Why? Remember, we're third year college students already. Close to graduating already, so we have to be present at all times." She argued but wasn't able to stop me from keeping my things.

"You said it right, Adi. We're third year college students. Close to graduating, but not yet." I winked at her as I carried my bag.

"Brielle, what's really the reason? Is it more important than our class—"

"Yes, Adi. It's Calvin and I's first year anniversary. He texted me, and greeted me. He thought that I forgot, and I know that he's probably upset right now. So, I am going to make it up with him."

I bit my lower as I remembered what my gift is for him.

I took the red ribbon clip inside my skirt's pocket and showed it to her, smiling naughtily. "See this, Adi? I am giving myself to him as a gift." I whispered the last words. Adi's face immediately turned red. Oh, I almost forgot. She's the innocent and the baby in our block. I don't even know why she became my best friend when she's the total opposite of me, but she did anyway. We did clicked perfectly. Together with my other best friend who's currently not here. The girl's absent again for some reason.

"Y—you guys are not married...yet," Adi whispered back with a confusion on her face as she stared at me more.

I shook my head and chuckled. "Adriana, you should know by now that you don't really have to be married to someone be able to have sex. Come on. We're in the 21st century already. Be open-minded."

"B—but..."

My poor innocent best friend Adi really tried hard to stop me from cutting classes but she wasn't able to. I only offered her a smile when I successfully got myself out from the classroom without our Professor noticing me.

The university guard didn't try to question me anymore as to why was I out from school too early. He knows that I don't usually do cut classes, and he might've thought that an emergency happened, the reason why I have to be home early.

I immediately hailed a taxi and told the driver the address to my boyfriend's condo building.

The travel didn't took that long, and when I arrived in front of the building, I immediately paid for my fee and started to walk inside the building. The guard knows me already since Calvin usually brings me here when we both have time to spend together.

The guard smiled at me, and I did too.

I was already feeling so nervous and excited when I was inside the elevator. It's just that, this is the first time that we're going to do the 'deed'. Yes. I'm a virgin, still. I was planning on giving myself to him at the right moment, and I do think that right now is the right moment for it to happen.

I feel extremely nervous, but I have to go on. I want this day to be extra...special for the both of us.

When the elevator dinged, I got out and walk to my boyfriend's unit. I immediately clipped the red ribbon on the side of my head. I even checked myself in the small mirror that I have in my bag, and applied a little bit of gloss on my lips.

I sighed and typed in the passcode for the door to open. It was the combination of my birthday and the day that I said 'yes' to him.

When the door opened, the nervousness that I was feeling suddenly doubled. I feel breathless already with the way my heart thumped so fast. I was kinda feeling weird, but I shrugged it off. I shouldn't think about something else. I should focus only to...this. To our special day.

My forehead knitted when I noticed the canned beers scattered on the floor when I arrived at the living room.

I noticed my boyfriend's clothes on the floor too. Even his pants...was lying on the sofa like it was thrown harshly or something.

I bit my lower lip.

Oh, my baby. He probably felt so sad and upset about me forgetting about our supposed to be special day for him to drink these much.

I chuckled.

Then, where is he, huh? Probably inside his room.

I put my bag on the sofa and decided to clean the mess first before going back to his bedroom. I throw the canned beers, the junk foods and the other mess to the trash can before I folded his t-shirt and pants, and brought it with me as I was making my way to his bedroom.

I smiled when I noticed that the door was slightly open. But my smile eventually faded when I saw something that was stuck in between the door and the frame, causing it to not close.

Heels?

Is this...mine? But, I don't wear heels. He knows that I prefer wearing shoes than heels. Is he going to give this to me?

I shrugged and sighed.

Just as when I was about to hold the knob to open the door when I heard something.

Clapping? Why is someone clapping inside his room?

My forehead creased when the slapping sound was followed by a groan and a voice that's very familiar to me.

"Fuck, yeah! You're doing good, Hailey!"

Hailey?! What is she doing here? She was absent because she told Adi that she's sick, right?

What? Did I heard it...wrong?

I looked at my hands, and noticed that it was trembling while holding the red heel in my hands. Now I know why it was familiar.

"Seriously, Calvin? When are you going to break up with my best friend?"

"Stop asking, Hailey. Just fucking drive me."

I almost dropped the heel in my hands when I heard those two familiar voices. The voices of the two people that are so dear to me.

"No! You said you're going to break up with her. You promised me, jerk. We've been fucking each other for months, and yet, you're still keeping your relationship intact with her?" That was Hailey's annoyed voice that woke me up from the shock that I was feeling.

Wow. Just wow.

"I will, okay? Just continue fucking me. You know that I've been craving for you for days that you didn't let me meet you."

I deeply sighed as I slowly opened the door, making sure that I won't make any noise.

Thank God that my phone is inside my skirt's pocket, huh?

I will deal with the pain later. For now, I will fucking destroy these two for betraying me.

I feel so disgusted while I was video recording them. My hands were trembling with so much anger, but I have to contain myself or I will look like a loser at the end of the day, and I don't want that to happen. Never. These two shall pay for making me feel like this.

"Oh! Fuck! Ah!" Hailey shouted when Calvin held her legs tighter as he rammed in her too fast.

It has been a very painful moment for me to witness the two person that I trusted so much fucking each other like a horny animals. It was hurting me and my ego. But I have to endure it. And I didn't even expect for myself to be that strong.

I ended the video recorder when Calvin's body collapsed above Hailey's.

I smiled bitterly.

Cheaters.
