Meant To Be

Chapter 14

Red. That is all I can see. RED!. My own blood boiling inside of me.RED. My pulse racing like a horse that has been bet on.She was silent...too silent and I could hear the sound of my own breathing as the car takes us closer to the house. She hasn't dare look at me the entired time, and I didn't want to look at her either...I was mad, maybe furious...but what bothered me the most was her decision to not give me an explanation, sure I didn't exactly asked her for one, but she wasn't naive...she knew I wanted one, the sooner...the better, my patience was running low.

She practically ran out of the car when Andre parked in the front, but I followed her in...grabbing her arm before she could dissapear.All lights were off, assuming the time Michael and Carmen were probably asleep.

Our room was cold, and she escaped my grip when we were inside, but I wanted an answer...I needed a damn answer...

" who the hell is St.Claire to you?"

" he...he has business with my father"

" you know damn well I was speaking about St.Clair Jr. So don't play stupid"

" what the hell do you want to know?"

" What is St.Clair to you, damn it Veronica answer me"

" he...he...we used to..."

" used to what?"

" Archie..."

"USED TO WHAT??"

" we had a thing ok, nothing special...it lasted barely two months...it was back in New York"

"Yo slept with him?"

" Archie stop this..."

" Did.you.SLEPT.with him...answer the fucking question"

Her stare dropped to the floor and I knew exactly what I wanted to know, but it hurt so bad that I felt my stomach cramp.Sure we have been married for seven days and yes I've only known her for a month and seven days but it still hurt my brain and my ego to know that she shared a bed with that asshole.

I closed my eyes for a second, not knowing how to respond. What to say. I wasn't jealous, but I had extreme posessiveness when it comes to what is mine...and Veronica is...and will always be mine.

I've known that I was not her first, that is understandable, and I thought I was not going to care about that, after all we are in 2018, now a days woman don't usually save themselves for the man they are gonna marry, but damn it bothered him so bad to know and imagine everything they probably did together.

" I don't want you near him...ever, again...do you understand me?"

" he works at Lodge foundation, his dad has business with my father...what the hell am I supposed to do?"

" I don't care, either he leaves Lodge foundation or you do"

" that it's not fair and you know it"

" don't talk to me about fair...you are president of your damn foundation, fire him or quit, end of discussion"

" that is not fair and you know it, when that tramp came into our house, I didn't get like this...its like you loose total control of yourself. You knew you were not my first, so stop acting like a child."

" Why didn't you tell me he was working with you?"

" because...because...."

" Because what?"

" Because I didn't want you to get the way you are right now"

" yeah well...too late, either you go...or he goes"
