Slap

Riley's POV

" Ma'am, everything ok?" Cameron asked me.

" Yes, everything is fine." I said to him smilingly. " But why are you asking that suddenly?" I asked him.

" No, ma'am. You are looking so worried. This why. " He said and I nodded.

" I am fine. No worries." I said.

" Ok, then." He said and I nodded. He kept driving the car.

I kept thinking about this woman. Who is this woman!! What does she want to tell me?!!

" We are here, ma'am." He said.

" Oh, ok. Wait for me here. I have a meeting. I will be back in awhile." I said.

" Sure, ma'am." He said.

" I will be back." I said. He nodded.

I walked into the café. I was searching for the woman though I didn't know who it was. I called her. She didn't pick the call up but the next moment a waitress came and gave me a note. I opened it.

" I am waiting in the corner. Come here."

I looked around and found the lady sitting on the corner. I slowly walked towards her. She was wearing a headscarf on her head and shades on her eyes. She was looking so familiar. Suddenly I realized who she was. She was Lima!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱.

" Shocked?!" She asked and chuckled. " Come have a seat, RD." She said.

I cleared my throat and sat across her.

" You here?" I asked her.

" Yeah. Why? Can't I come here?" She asked me.

" No, I didn't mean that but I didn't expect that it's you who was calling me." I said a bit uncomfortably.

Of course you will feel uncomfortable with the ex of your man. I don't know why she is here but I can say she is here for creating an issue. Let's see what she does.

" It was important. This why." She said. " By the way, congratulations!!" She said and I nodded.

" Thank you." I said to her.

" You are welcome." She said. "How are you?" She asked me.

" I am fine." I said to her trying to figure out actually what she was trying to do.

" Are you busy?" She asked me.

" Yes, a bit." I said.

" I will not take longer." She said.

" Better then start over." I said to her.

" Well, I had something important to talk to you." I said.

" I am listening." I said to her looking at her sharply.

" It's about Josh. As you are getting married with him I thought you should know these things about him." She said.

" Hmm..I am all ears." I said.

" How much do you know about him?" She asked me.

" A bit less than you but I have whole my life to know about him completely. Don't worry about that." I said to her.

" I think I should tell you things about him now so that you can be careful." She said.

" Sure. Let's hear you out now." I said to her but I got a feeling that she is going to lie to me.

" You know nothing about him. You don't know how violent he is when he is angry. You will not be able to tolerate him. He will try to hurt you as well." She said.

" So you are trying to say that he has hurt you before?" I asked her and she looked a bit shocked but she handled the situation.

" Yes. He did." She said. Lies. Josh can never do that. He respects women a lot. Let's see how much of lies she can tell me. I will count them all and answer every single one later.

" Oh. He was violent and you didn't ever try to talk to him about this? You never tried to find out a solution?" I asked her.

" I tried but I couldn't find out anyone." She said and I chuckled inwardly.

" Then why didn't you leave him then?" I asked her.

" I was scared that he will hurt me and my family. You know his family. They are very powerful and have influence around. I thought if I leave him then he will hurt my family. This is why I couldn't leave him that time though I wanted to leave him." She said.

" You wanted to leave him?" I asked her.

" Yes, I wanted a free life." She said.

" And what about your affairs?" I asked her.

" I wanted to forget Josh and his violence. This is why I used to have affairs to forget him for awhile." She said.

" But just now you said that he is very powerful and has influence around, then why didn't you think that if he comes to know about your affairs then what he will do to you and your family?! Then you didn't think that he will be violent and more violent after this stunt of yours?! You even were showing those publicly. What were those?" I asked her.

" I wanted him to think about it and leave me. I wanted to get freed from him. I wanted to get rid of his tortures every single moment." She said.

" Very well. If you wanted to get rid of him you should go to the police and ask for help. Because law supports women more in this kind of cases. You know you could file a case on him and destroy his reputation and fame already. I wonder why didn't you do that yet. If you agree then I will help you in that. If my fiance is in fault then he will get punished and you will get justice. Come on, let's go." I said. She looked a bit uncomfortable this time.

Bi*ch!!! Josh has tortured you!!! You don't even know what he is. If he wanted he would have buried you alive for this betrayal but he left you alive. If I was him then I would have buried you alive already.

" No, no. It's ok. If he comes to know then he will kill my family and me as well." She said and I nodded. " Can I ask you something?" She asked me.

" What?" I asked her.

" Did you guys sleep with each other?" She asked me and I looked at her sharply and decided to lie to see her reaction.

" We are engaged and we are adults. I don't find sleeping with each other is a crime here." I said.

" Oh, he took you to bed as well." She acted a bit and sighed deeply. " What will he do? Long time habit. Won't be changed so soon." She said.

" What do you mean? You slept with him?" I asked her.

" What do you think? I have been his girlfriend for last 6 years. Won't he touch his girlfriend after that long time relationship?" She asked me.

I was about to say something but suddenly someone hold her hand and pulled her to stand at once. As soon as I looked up I found Josh and my eyes widened as a hard slap fall on her cheek. I stood up immediately. Angry Josh alert. But his next step made me shocked as hell. A hard slap fall on my face as well. I was totally taken aback by this action.
