A Love Like No Other

Chapter 8

Alejandra
My cheeks hurt from the fake smiles i've had to give today. I didn't want anyone to suspect foul play.

And I didn't want Fernando to feel like he had won.

He played his cards very well, but he went too far. He doesn't know what coming back to this wretched place evokes in me.

The hurt. The pain

and the anger.

He is asking for war and he will get it.

I looked at my image in the bathroom mirror. I looked like a princess. But no one knew that I was tormented.

The bathroom door opened . I chose to ignore it but looked behind me when I heard it being locked.

None other than Isla Ranjel was standing infront of me.

"I don't remember inviting you to my wedding, " I said in a patronizing tone.

"I came with a close friend of your family."

I shrugged.

"Are you here to congratulate me on my marriage? ." I was trying to provoke her. She shouldn't have come here.

She smirked and put on a confident expression.

"I came here to tell you that your time with Fernando is limited. He is going to come back to me when he divorces you."

That made me smile.

"I mean seriously. Why would he leave me for a tiny and inexperienced little girl like y-"

"Are you done?" I asked her.

She narrowed her eyes.

"Now listen to me, " I took a few steps ahead so that there was only a short distance separating us.

"Answer me these questions. Who is wearing the ring here? Who is carrying the Dominguez name? Who is the mistress only out for money? Tell me who?! "

Her eyes widened.

"I will not let you get anywhere close to my husband. You bitch! Fernando is mine!. He married me. And I am warning you to stay away from him or I will destroy your life." I spoke with venom in my voice.

I walked past her towards the door I turned the knob then looked back at Isla.

"If he really loved you he wouldn't have slept with you before our family dinner. "

"Oh and you have no idea how good it feels to be his wife. "

I left with a smile on my face. That should keep her quite for sometime.

*******************
Fernando
This pretence is killing me. I hate this. And to top it all off my siblings have been teasing me about my 'love' for Alejandra.

I am tempted to reveal the truth about everything. I just want to cut the damn cake and get out of here.

I saw Isla leaving the house and decided to follow her.

"Isla "

She ignored me.

"Isla wait! "

I dont know why but am curious as to why she is leaving early.

She abruptly turned back.

"What do you want Fernando? "

"Don't talk to me like that. "

"How do you want me to talk Fernando? Tell me!" She shouted.

"What has gotten into you? "I asked.

"Am sick of this. That witch just called me your mistress. "

Alejandra.

I chuckled." Well what did you think you were. "

All the colour drained from her face.

"Am just a mistress. " she whispered.

"Do you even love me? "

I remained silent.

"Okay, I get it. I'll be leaving. "

I wanted to feel bad but I actually fell relieved that she was gone.
