REFUTATIONS

{4}🌹🌹

"Rhea!, there you are. Lionel told me that you had arrive."

"Yea... I just did."

"Huh....Rhea? why are you staring at that door?"

"What?"

" That door. The one beside the master living room... you're staring at it with longing"

" I wasn't staring."

" Yes you were. You were staring at it like there's some kind of prize in there ."

..... oh poor poor Adèle, if only you knew... there is in-fact a prize there, my prize... starts with a 'M' . But I wasn't ready to admit so.. I just stick to denying.

"Nope. I totally, definitely, actually wasn't staring "

"Yup, you're lying... judging from your use of too many adverbs 😏"

"Okay , okay you got me. Maddie's in there "

"You don't say... I kinda knew that. He's
working out, that door leads to our gym."

"Really can I see? Oh and will he be shirtless?"

"Babe, now that's just creepy... plus my brothers state of attire is definitely not my problem."

" Well it is for me... the guy works out even at evenings Adèle, evenings!.. now that I gotta see. No wonder how he got his Greek god body... I'm drooling mentally"

"Okay okay... lover girl let's go upstairs "

" Do we really have to? I wanna watch Maddie sweat while on the treadmill Adèle!"

"Yea...  dinner will be ready in a bit and you can ogle over him at dinner."

Giving the door one last glance.. I sigh

"Okay"

We go upstairs to talk about gossip like how Cardi B is allegedly divorcing Offset and the news about Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid welcoming their first child ..

              **************************
      ~Rhea's POV ~

It's 8 pm, we gather at their dinning table to eat dinner .
Their parents come down to also join us

"Rhea! How are you dear?"

"Great Mrs. Forbes , how are you ma'am?"

" I'm very well, thank you. You know you haven't been visiting much you know."

I grin at her words the Forbes are surprisingly kind and humble although they have a lot of billions to their name..

" I'm so sorry ma'am, i have just been really busy with school work and all"

" Oh! It's okay dear ."

Their father gives me a smile before sitting at the head of the dining table...
We all take our sits, luckily Maddie sits in front of me. I would occasionally steal glances at him. I don't sound like a creep right?
Just when it was time for dessert, the door bell rings

Ding dong Ding dong

Lionel the butler goes to get the door...
I'm about to have a sip of my white wine when this girl come to my view . She's stunning. Her hair is a mixture of brown and and streaks of honey highlights adorn her hair..she has a bright and a huge smile plastered on her face that makes her seem angelic and you can't seem to look away from her chocolate coloured orbs. Damn!!! She is hot... who is she ? A relative or a neighbour or a business associate of the Forbes?

But Maddox decides to put a stake through my heart by saying..

"Honey! I'm glad you could make it."

Honey! Oh my god is she his girlfriend?...no no no Rhea don't over think this you always overthink...anyone could call a person honey . I could call Adèle honey, her father could even call me honey....
Woah! Are you crazy woman? My subconscious mocks me. The old man would go berserk on you if he finds out that you just thought of him that way..
I take a look a Mr. Forbes and I shudder.. although the man's got cash I wouldn't stoop that low ....but back to the mystery girl..

" Hey Dad? This is my girlfriend, Bianca. Mom you've met her before."

" Hello Bea!." Mrs. Forbes say

"Hi ma'am. Good evening."

" Oh dear, you don't have to be formal, call me Claire."

I'm dying ..so they're on first name basis now... I'm literally screaming betrayal in my mind...

"Nice to meet you Miss." Mr Forbes say

Okay Mr. Forbes is my new favourite person on earth. He calls me Rhea... choke on that bitch...
Adèle just looks at me with sympathy in her eyes.... I'll get back at you back stabber ,I think when I see her reaction

" I'm glad you could make it." Maddox says looking at her lovingly

Just get me poison I say while hating Bianca..
Oh how the mighty have fallen... I used to Think that I could never get jealous, because it is the green-eyed monster. And nothing good comes out of jealousy ... let's just say Maddox brings out the worst in me.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world sweetie." She says

Oh! Put a sock in it.. I say mentally

I look at Maddox's lips and I sigh. I had only envisioned those lips to speak sweet words to me. I had always dreamt of the day he would tell me those 3 words that had eight letters, the lips I had grown to admire and dream of locking my lips with have become my worst enemy because those lips spoke the word that would haunt me even in my dreams to me , to everyone "girlfriend ". It has officially become my most hated word on the planet
I know I have it bad..

Hey guys this is another chapter of 'refutations' and your comments would be greatly appreciated...🥰☺️
I love you guys xoxo

What should Rhea do? Should she just leave and avoid being broken hearted or should she stay? And more importantly what would you do if you were in her shoes?
