" SO [NAME], HOW ARE YOU AND DIEGO LATELY " Annalise, sitting next to me asks. Today, I was having a brunch with 4 " best " friends.
ANNALISA KINGSTON, The daughter of a famous artist and a retired model. Classic trust fund baby.
JENINA POPE, An social media socialite. Almost everything about her life is made up.
MONICA TENNER, A world famous model.
and lastyly, LIANA GRAFF, Editor in Chief of Runway magazine. She and Monica are probably my closest friends out of the others.
To be honest, apart from Liana, I didn't like these girls very much. They only cared about money and connections never even bothering to form a real friendship with me. In addition, my marriage with THE Diego Everett of the Everett family made them stick around more.
" We're great, he does stay out on some nights though. " I huff. The girls at the table collectively, ' ooooh ' Oh no, I regret saying that.
" Girl, you better watch him, men nowadays cheat way more often. " Jenina says as she sips on her wine. I rolled my eyes at her comment. She always assumes that Diego has cheated on me in some way. She's so insecure.
I hate the fact that she thinks that I'm not good enough for him. It's always comments like this that make me want to punch her right in the face. " Shut up, Jenina just because Nathan cheated on you, doesn't mean that him and Diego are the same. " Monica retaliates against Jenina, who in turn shrugs.
" Moving on..[NAME], the magazine is looking for couples for our annual Valentines shoot and as Editor in Chief, I suggested you for the job, " Liana announces. I looked at her with a warm smile. Liana was a big supporter in my marriage with Diego. " Liana..I'm so honored, I'd love too. I'll ask Diego as well. " I reply.
For the rest of the brunch we talked about designer clothes, people we don't like and much other things.
🏩 ━━━━
AS I RETURNED HOME, I saw Diego's car in the driveway already. Not just his though, a few other cars " He's home early.. " I mutter to myself. I begin to get suspicious, not that I didn't trust my husband. It was just strange.
Shaking it off, I walked into the house and was greeted by our maid, Emily. She smiled and offered me something to eat, but something about her behavior was off. " Emily..are you alright? " I inquired a little harsh as I don't like when something is going on in my space and I don't know about it.
" Y-yes ma'am, just nerves, " She giggled nervously, " If you're looking for Sir Diego, he is in his office with a few colleagues. " Colleagues? You're fucking joking.
I begin to walk up the stairs quite irritated, I made it clear to Diego that I never want any of his dirty old smelly investors in our house. It totally cramps the mood.
As I make it to Diego's office door, I hear yelling and laughing. Now I'm definitely confused.
" Oh my god, Yean don't do that again! " I hear a man yell. I push my head into the door to hear more, " Henri, you're totally cheating right now! " That was the last thing I heard before it all became muffled.
If you're wondering why I'm so suspicious, Diego doesn't have friends. Simple as that. He was a rich loner in university even though he was surrounded by everyone. He never once mentions friends or even a colleague. Safe to say, he doesn't get out much unless it's with me. We've been together for 5 years and this is the first time I've heard him laugh so much with other people than me. I decide to text him to see if he will tell the truth about his whereabouts.
GODDESS: Where are you?
DEVOTEE: I'm in an investors meeting, tesoro.
GODDESS: kk.
THAT LIAR?!
I'm going to fucking kill him. I take out the spare key for his office and slam open the door. To my surprise, six grown men..on the floor..playing Uno.
My surprise quickly fades as my eyes land on Diego who is as white as a ghost. " Investors meeting my fucking ass. " I stomp away from the open office door as I hear more yelling but this time more angry, and my name being called into the mix. I didn't know where I was going really. I just found myself in the kitchen grabbing a bottle of white wine and sitting the kitchen island.
🏩 ━━━━
IT WASN'T LONG AFTER UNTIL I saw the men leave the house, only glancing in my direction. I knew that only meant Diego was on his way to me. I closed my eyes and continued to drink my wine until I felt someone caress my calf.
" [NAME] please look at me.. " His voice sounded so desperate...so whiny. Opening my eyes I was met with the sight of my husband on his knees caressing my leg and whispering sweet nothings to me. " Please, I love you.. " He whispered as he kissed my legs. I scoffed and pulled my legs away. " You love me? " I got off the island and grabbed his tie pulling him towards me. " Why would you lie. " I look into his eyes trying to find an answer.
[DIEGO EVERETT]
I couldn't possibly tell her they were my gang members. She'd freak. I looked into her beautiful eyes, even though she's upset at me, she looks so perfect. It seemed she noticed my trance and let go of me. " It's whatever. " She says and begins to walk away. I panicked slightly. It's never ' whatever ' I tried to form words to call out to her but I couldn't.
I felt tears well up in my eyes. I was quite the crybaby when it comes to [NAME]. They begin to fall until I felt warm hands on my cheeks pulling my head up. " You big baby. " She cooed and brought me into a hug. I sighed into her embrace, rubbing my face on her assets. " Just don't do it again, okay? " She continues. I nod hastily and continue hugging her.
