( Nicholas Blackwood )
"Why Roselie why?"I chugged the empty bottle of whisky on the hard floor causing it to shatter into tiny pieces scattered on the floor mocking back at me as the reflection of light through them blinded my already blurry vision.
The heartache is unbearable.Though,the marriage was arranged by my parents,I fell in love with the beautiful blonde with the most mesmerizing green eyes.I still remember our first meeting after our parents fixed the arrange marriage between us.I met her at a restaurant when she was coming out of there with her sister,who is now my imposed wife and her friends.
I can't forget her red cheeks when she shyly looked down as we bumped and fell on the floor,with her upon me.The crowd cheered of us and that was the moment,I discovered the purest emotions call love.
I let a woman slipped into forbidden terrotery of my heart for the first time only to realise my mistake that love is a fool's paradise.
I left no stone unturned to make her feel special like a fiance must do.I hired the best wedding planner in the country paying them the double fees just to arrange everything according to her wishes so I could see her billion dollar smile that used to give me the heavenly contentment.
Only if I had the slightest idea of how ugly and sinister she was from inside.She pretended to love me while her lover was someone else.
She could had told me before everything happened.I would had taken it positively though it pained me the same but now I feel anger,betrayed,lost and heartbroken.It is a deadly combination I know but I am now adamant to take my revenge on the next traitor,my wife,her sister who grabbed the opportunity to sink her claws on my wealth and the title of being Mrs. Rain Nicholas Blackwood.
Roselie's betrayal left a void in my heart that can never be filled by anyone,not specially by her sister who is a constant reminder of the woman who destoryed my hear and soul.
I pressed my throbbing temple to surpress the increasing headache.It was a dramatic events' day for me and now my body is slowly giving up so instead of walking back inside my room,I slouched down on the leather sofa in my mini bar.
Slowly sleep engulfed my exhausted body into oblivion.I woke up only when a pair of familiar hands shook me vigorously.
"Stop Nicole I am not dead."I groaned getting up to sit straight and instantly winced as sharp pain crossed my temples.
I found my elder sister standing in front of my sight with crossed hands across her chest.She resembles the evil witch who caged Rupunzal in the tower.Yes,I watched that movie with Nicole's daughter,my niece Mia.
I hate hangovers.They are bitch.
"Here take these and get your drunken ass out of here.We need to talk so meet me in your study room when you are showered.God man you're stinking like a pig."She scrunched her nose dramatically.
"Nicole please."I pleaded her as her sharp voice wasn't helping me anyhow,in fact it sent a wave of another pain inside my skull.
"Then get up and dress up,I can't stay at the same place as her for a long time.Urghh I have already seen her ugly face minutes ago."
Nicole spat venom while referring to the woman called my wife and honestly her mention also soured my already rotten mood.
"Give me fifteen minutes,"I said getting up on my feet to drag myself to my room.
"I am counting on the clock little brother."She yelled behind my back as I slammed the door to prevent her voice to torture me anymore.
Women are of no help in my family.I took long and hurried strides towards my room in order to avoid crossing my path with her.Fortunately she didn't come into my sight that's a good sign but little did I know that my happiness was short lived.
It took me hardly twenty minutes to get ready for work,usually I take my own time but I couldn't gather myself to breathe in the same air as her so I decided to leave earlier and grab a coffee in my way to my office.
I was on my way to the study room when she came in front of me with a cup of coffee in her hand,it caused me to stop abruptly.If I was a little careless then I would have bumped myself on the hot liquid in her hands.
"What the hell is your problem you bitc-"I paused realizing my words,"I told you to stay out of my sight and in less than twelve hours you forgot."I yelled om her making her thin frame flinch with fear.
"I just..came here..to give you..your co...ffee."She stammered with her sentence.
"Don't pretend to be a dotted wife Rain when we both know what a woman like you are called so don't make me use the term for you."I spatted on her.
I couldn't miss the hurt look on her oval face,her eyes watered by my colorful words which in a corner of my heart didn't feel right but the anger was domiment emotion so pushing her from my way,I strode directly towards the living room rather than meeting my sister who told me to come to study room.I wanted to get out of the house as soon as possible.
I found Nicole sitting on one of the sofa in the living room scrolling on her phone,her hooded eyes were glued on her phone screen while her lips were pressed into a thin line.I know this look.She was going mad from inside and just needed someone to prick the hot balloon and the explosion can cause an apocalypse.
"I thought you were waiting for me in the study room Nicole."I said walking to towards her.
She instantly snapped out of her staring session and rose from the sofa,"I was Nick but your wife decided to spoil my day by pestering me with her act of an ideal sister in law."She snarled.
"Don't just don't call her my wife Nicole."I hissed with closed eyes,the word felt like molten mercury poured into my ears.
"Then tell her to stay inside her room whenever I am around here."She spatted venomously.
"Don't worry she won't bother you again,"I clenched my teeth and ready to give her a good lesson but Nicole's next sentence halted me in my tracks.
"Mom and Dad wants to see us both at their house in next thirty minutes and there is no way,we can skip this meeting."
"Please don't tell me that they want to lecture me on 'how to behave with your wife' topic because I don't have time for succh shits."I said under gritted teeth.
"Well we don't have that option.We have to meet them to find out the motive of our get together."She rolled her eyes dramatically,"Now don't stand here and follow me out."The elder sister in her commanded me.
Releasing the breath I had been holding,I made my way out of the house.
What a nice start of the day!
My Dad is fuming fire from his ears and mouth as his eyes pierce holes if it's theoretically possible while my mother has an unreadable expression on her face.
