The Billionaire's Sex Slave novel Chapter 21

“THE BRIDE AND THE GROOM ARE MAKING THEIR ENTRANCE!” The emcee’s voice shouted and only the applause of the people remained in my ears.

The lady dressed like me emerged from behind a lengthy curtain as if to give the impression that she was the more bride-to-be. She was clutching Andrius’ arm while holding a bouquet. Andrius wore a tie bow with his hair well-coiffed. It was formal, and not a single hair was visible. I didn’t learn to talk until the man next to me did.

“They look so good together,” he said as he took out a camera from somewhere and shot a photo of the two people who were already on stage. Andrius’ smile was genuine. He didn’t give me that same smile he gave to the same woman while they were inside the restaurant.

I watched as he smiled and looked at the woman holding the white roses that perfectly matched what she was wearing. I wanted to tear my clothes, as I suddenly felt like I was blank. My heart seemed numb. It was as if it had been stabbed repeatedly until I lost blood on purpose.

“Yeah,” I answer while not in myself and not taking my eyes off them. “They look good together.”

As the photos are captured, the cameras light up one after the other. The woman’s happiness is reflected in her smiles. It felt as though I were a stumbling block to Andrius’ personality. I keep asking myself, “Who am I in Andrius’ life?” I’ve asked myself this question countless times, but I can’t come up with a negative response.

What is the state of our relationship? Is there a connection? He brought out his ring as the audience applauded. When he placed it on, my tears began to pour without me being aware of it.

“Andrius Easton, are you willing to be with Beatrice Scott for the rest of your life?” I could see him looking at me. Suddenly, his expression changed. We both avoided looking at each other.

I thought it was just an engagement party? Why does it seem like a wedding is already happening?

“I do.”

Because I couldn’t take it anymore. I went away and I couldn’t say goodbye to the man I was with at the time. My heart simply couldn’t handle it any longer. Even though I had control over it a few times, it eventually gave up. Nobody seemed to notice my exit. I had no idea Andrius had seen me go. I dashed to the spot. I’ll be where no one can see me. No one can hurt me here.... even though I know someone will still see me and I will continue to be punished by the world.
