Matured Content, Trigger Warning

Nefetari's heart rate doubled hearing Archibald's words. She looked at Hillary wanting some words out of her. Something she could hold onto, even if it had to be a lie now. Nefetari would gladly accept it. Even if it's a lie. She would hold onto it. She would believe it like a dearly never dying oath.

"She's pregnant?" Nefetari felt a chill down her spine, her lips quivered. She knows this will hurt, she knows how badly something like this would hurt her but she never have wished to experience it truly. Nefetari was in distraught as she felt her entire world crumble down. Everything of who she is and who Hillary was. How their marriage was formed and how they were first in love.

Everything became a sudden blur.

"I trusted you." Nefetari takes a slow turn, her eyes bore anger as soon as she glanced at Hillary who was quiet. Her stare never leaving the two. She was heartbroken, she deserved to be mad.

"Nefetari no-" Hillary went forward but she paused hearing Nefetari's angered voice. It was soft but it had a tinge of anger now. The little tremble of the word that roll out of her mouth made her stop.

"No?" Nefetari's brows softly furrowed.

"You were fucking him and all you can answer me is no?" Nymph's voice was high pitched, it echoed the empty halls now. Hillary's throat tightened hearing her wife let out a curse. Nymph never cursed, she was kind, loving, polite.

"Do you think I'm blind, huh?" Nymph's eyes brimmed with tears, angry tears. She was glaring and looking back at Archibald who had a menacing stare at her. She knows he's enjoying this little drama he made.

Nefetari looks back to Hillary. "Hillary, seven years?" She repeats her words. Nymph's hand twitched, she urged to be violent. She wanted to throw something. To scream out loud but she was also in the verge of a break down.

"And you're still stuck to the past." Her voice shakes as Hillary's eyes narrowed hearing those words echoed in her mind. It was a trigger switch, Hillary's concerned and dazed look turned strict and mean.

"Don't make a scene." Hillary said as she walks towards Nefetari, the glare against a desperate eye. Nefetari's lips quivered even more as she looked down.

Nefetari lets out a sarcastic laugh that echoed trhough the halls. It tinged the listener's ears/ "That's all you have to say?" Nefetari bit her lower lip and nodded her head. She doesn't know who this woman is anymore.

"You were caught with your ex-fiancee." Nefetari started, the words she let go were shaky but it was clear for those who have listened. Archibald's brows furrowed and his teasing smile was replaced with seriousness. She struck two nerves and for Nefetari, of course that felt good even tho she's literally breaking apart.

"Nefetari." Hillary said in a warning tone by this time. She wanted to fully quiet Nefetari before someone else could fully hear her. It would be a scandal. It would be something Hillary could never patch up.

"And all you care about is your fucking reputation?!" Nefetari screamed, her voice breaking. She never shouted before, she never spoke from the top of her lungs. Anger boiled within her, adrenaline rushing in making it's way to completely back her up. She should be crying, breaking down. On the floor, rolling and crying out. That's how badly it had to hurt her heart but she was playing it off well. She was more angry. Anger had loomed her soul at the very moment. An Anger even Nefetari did not know she had.

God this hurt.

She was never the type to get angry. She was never the type of girl who would shout at anyone. Nymph was collected, she's a person knew all to well causing a scandal would make her embrassed. She was the type of person who barely speaks violence, who lets out curses.
