Chapter 28

Season 1 Episode 28

Mahira POV

Flashback

"I'm sorry." Rory spoke in my ears as her fingers moved across the area of my body that wasn't covered by the blanket. I spent the whole Thanksgiving inside, weeping my eyes out. I think she and Lake had a great time eating, laughing, joking, and just being joyful. I am glad I was not there. They got their request for me not to be present. Because it appeared that I was the third wheeler in my own fucking relationship.

I was becoming more bitter and gloomy by the day, and I wasn't pleased with her any longer. However, I couldn't bring myself to terminate things with her. My entire future was fucking invested in her.

"Yes, I'm OK." I coughed and tried not to weep again.

"No, Mahira. We need to discuss. I truly apologize. I had no idea what I was thinking, but I truly love you, not her."

"What?" My brow furrowed in perplexity as I turned to reveal my awful state. I didn't want her to realize how leaving me here had affected me. But she did, and I could see her eyes filling with tears. But I was too puzzled to weep. I wanted to know what had arose.

"Is something wrong?"

She gently reached for my hands and started kissing the tips of my fingers. "What's happened?" I asked softly. "You can tell me."

"Mahira, you are going to hate me. I don't want you to hate me. I see everything with you, and doing so has helped me realize how much I love you."

"Doing what?"

"Lake and I. We uh...we are no longer friends."

My heart fucking leaps, and I immediately want to grin. But I maintained my saddened composure. "What, why not?!" About fucking time, she dumped this bitch.

"We, umm...I told her we couldn't since we were at my parents' house..."

My heart sank. My heart was going through so much in only two seconds. It was joyous one minute and broken in two, all at once.

Because even before Rory finished what she was saying, my heart had already sent a signal to my brain indicating that Rory had cheated.

"Did you cheat on me? You had sex with her?" I asked quietly.

"But I didn't enjoy it; it was a mistake. Please, I cannot lose you. I love you. Please don't be furious with me." She said. I should have glanced away from her face. Curse her out when my back is turned. But her gaze drew me in, and I found myself hugging even though my heart was bleeding and I wanted to scream and cry.

"I'm very sorry." I whispered. "Is this due of me?" I gripped her hard as she collapsed in my arms, tears staining my neck and flowing down my cleavage.

"Have I forced you into her arms?"

Mahira POV

"Whatever you need to say, just say it over the phone." My mother stated over the phone. I exhaled.

"Why?" I replied, taking a shot of whiskey. "Fuck!" I moaned.

"Because I know you're not in a fit state to drive, if not at all."

"I need to see you, mother. To talk."

"If you ask for your money back, it will not be returned. Not yet, at least. You haven't yet learned the value of money."

"It is not that." I groaned and ran my palm over my bloated stomach. I suppose I was gradually developing an alcoholic belly as a result of my excessive drinking. It was 9 in the morning and I had have two glass of whiskey and if this call didn't goes as scheduled. I was prepared to take three more shots.

"So what is it?"

"This is about Xia."

"Who?" she asked.

"Xia. You saw her a couple times at dinner, I believe. She was my second-in-command and an assistant. But Angelo fired her, and I'm sure you knew she did."

"Young woman, don't have a fresh mouth with me."

I sneered and moved over to a knocked-out Tali, giving her a hard smack on her ass cheek, which was not covered by her white silk underwear.

She jumped up with a loud gasp, and I couldn't help but laugh.

I need a ride. "Shower and get ready."

"Was that one of your one-night stands?"

"Why do you care? Just tell Dad to give Xia back her job."

"In such case, she will not get it back. Come and plead for her position. Give me an excuse to urge my husband to give her back. She did fail to uphold a client."

"Oh, you know."

She chuckled and said, "I know everything."

"Okay, I'll come immediately."

"I do not want to see you now, Daughter. I can smell sex and alcohol over the phone." I was going there, no matter what.

"Present to me, later on, after your work."
