"V-veronica? What are you doing here?" I ask, still a bit surprised to see her standing at the door
She looks me up and down raising an eyebrow, I look down to see what she's looking at it and then I realized I still had Ace's dress shirt on. That was actually the only thing I had on... with my messy bed hair up in a bun looking like a complete mess
"uh, How'd you get through security?" I ask shaking my head and crossing my arms over my chest
"I'm no stranger... and besides, Ace invited me over" she says and walks right in through the door
I didn't invite you in but okay...
"Ace invited you?" I question, what?
"Oh it's nice to see he took my advice on the rings" she says pointing down to my hand
"I'm sorry?" I question looking down at my light blue engagement ring that was stacked beside my wedding band confused as to what she was talking about
"Aren't you supposed to be at work? Why are you here?" she asks ignoring my questions
The audacity-
I let out a scoff "Last time I checked, I'm my own boss so I can decide when I want to and don't want to be at work. Also, I live in this house so my question here is... why are you here Veronica?"
Aren't you the one who left Ace? Why are you all of a sudden coming back.... I say in my head
"I already told you why I'm here, Ace sent me a text and invited me this morning to come over. Wasn't expecting you to be here but unexpected turn of events, which seem to happen a lot with you. Always full of surprises, like your marriage! Which by the way, I'm not sure how and when it even happened..." She says in her bitchy high pitched voice
"Some things don't concern you Veronica, I'm not sure if you were ever told this but the world doesn't evolve around you sweetheart" I fake smile at her
Then the woman snaps "Sweetheart, I do know one thing. That you're just one little gold digging whore who never deserved Ace." she says walking closer to me and standing inches away from face, with anger in her eyes
For the first time ever since I had met Veronica, her words didn't anger me but... they hurt me.
But I courage up my strength and bite back "Get the fuck out of my house"
She turns with her back towards the stairs and faces me once again
"Don't fucking forget I lived in this house first. We were together for 7 years! 7 WHOLE YEARS! I know him better than any one especially you. Ace and I have a long history. How long has he known you? A few months? He probably only married you because he was desperate, had no one to care for anymore. And by the looks of it, even faked his own death to probably get away from you. So don't think you've won because you haven't. I should be the one with him, not you, but ME. I'll prove to him one way or another who you truly are. Nothing more than a nurse who should be back working at the hospital, disguising your true ugly colours you little bitc-" she isn't able to finish her words when we hear Ace's voice fill the room with heaviness and anger
