-Sarah, I am breaking our engagement! I don't like you. You are only an egotistical, tyrannical and spoiled miss. I don't like useless girls in my life. I will marry my true love, Marla.
"My supposed best friend?"
-Who is not only mature, intelligent, rich too, with a good family, not like yours but good nevertheless , a fairy from heaven…
-Will you stop? - I paused his mouth that only has praises for another. - I don't need to know what you think of her. - I sighed - You are breaking the engagement, then you need to pay a great sum of money to my family.
He looked to me, his fiancee, like I was crazy.
"If he opens his eyes more, they would pop out from their watersheds"
-Wh-What are you talking about Sarah?! What money?!!
-Ugh… Did you hit you head before coming here to praise another? - I asked him upfront still sitting like a queen in a comfy chair.
-No… Don't change the topic! This is me coming here to break our betrothal, not to pay some random debt my parents have with your family!
-Yeah, you did hit your sorry excuse of a head. If you didn't then your IQ dropped like some bad stocks. - I affirmed to his face.
-Yo-You!! - He vomited blood.
-You came here, my house, to break our marriage contract. A contract our parents want because it will unite our families and companies. It will make us true allies against the other big families. Not only that. You hooked with my supposed best friend and you got her pregnant. Don't try to deny it. She told me she was carrying her prince's baby, she didn't tell me who he was but… alas, He was my fiance. What a lovely surprise. - I made a shrugging motion.
-Therefore, my dear ex-fiance, you broke one of the rules. And my family will seek a hefty compensation fee for losing face. It not some random debt like you called it, it's a debt you made your family have because you couldn't stop your little brother from playing in a forbidden forest. You can leave now. I don't want to see your face anymore. Don't freet, I will personally go to your parents to explain with a lot of details what happened here. L-e-a-v-e n-o-w. An tell your little girlfriend that we are over. I don't like snakes to entertain me.
-You!!
-Leave. Don't make me repeat what I said. I don't like to waste time.
He finally left red like a tomato, humiliated, and slamming the door.
-Well, what a waste of 5 years.
I took the tea cup and sip a little bit of it. Chai. My favorite.
"It almost makes everything better"
I sighed again. Looked at the good-looking forty-something man that was waiting near the door.
-Marcus, retrieve the video of today of the cameras one and two and the audio of microphone three. Then go to my bedroom and take my computer.
-My pleasure Missy.
I saw him leave with the elegance of butler trained to be the best, after acknowledging my orders.
"Stupid. My house has a very complete vigilance circuit. Cameras and microphones in all the rooms. Even guests bathrooms have a microphone. We are a paranoid family. Always thinking the worst to be prepared. Our motto is information is power. We know that little rumors can make a difference."
I sipped more tea. And enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere.
-Missy. The things you wanted.
-Thanks Marcus. You can continue with your work.
-Let me know if you want something else.
-Okay. - I responded while turning on the computer. - You want to make me a joke. I will make you one, Marla, Charles. Be prepared for this egotistical, arrogant and spoiled lady present. It will make you delighted. I promise.
***
I finished the compilation of derailment and betrayal proof that I will present to, not only Charles parents, my family too.
"Marla, enjoy my present like you enjoyed playing behind my back. You may not know that I have a microphone that can record with me every time I leave my house. But as a sometimes paranoiac girl it is a must."
I burned the proof in an usb and closed the pc.
-Finished. Now I only has to wait for daddy, mommy and elder brother to come home.
-Baby, we are home!!!
"Speaking of the devil… Just in time"
-Little sister. Where you waiting for us? - Asked my handsome brother Aleksander.
-Sure.
-R-really Sarah?!
-Yeah.
-What happened baby? Tell your papa. Someone bullied you? Papa will teach them.
-How can someone bully her dad. Don't tell jokes.
-Some people did.
-What??! - Shouted the three of them with thunderous faces.
-Who??! - Asked Alek with murderous gaze.
-Charles and Marla.
-They? - Asked again frowning. - What did your fiance and best friend did to make you sad?
-Take a look a this then you will know.
I gave them the usb and waited in the living room for them to watch it in papa's office. Ten minutes later some 'I will kill them' sounded from that room.
"Tomorrow is going to be a great day. " - I mused.
***
-Master Roberick, madam, young master, miss. Come with me please.
The Sirakuzco's butler guided us to the living room. He made us wait there while he called his masters.
I took the cup in front of me and sipped. Green tea. "Ugh, I was for 5 years a quasi-missy and they don't have knowledge that I really can't stand green tea. I mattered a shit to them."
-Sis, don't drink anymore. It can hurt your tummy if you force yourself.
-Yeah baby. Don't touch it. - Papa said with a warm tone.
-Something this tasteless you don't have to take, Sarah. - said mom rarely this stern.
"Wow. I am really spoiled. Hehe~☆"
The maid who served the refreshment paled with our conversation. But we didn't care. We weren't here to have a pleasant chat. So scaring a maid from our soon to be only acquaintances wouldn't make us guilty.
Ten minutes later Master Sirakuzco, his wife, Charles and Marla came.
-Marla, what a snakey surprise. Telling the good news to the Sirakuzcos?
She went white, but composed rapidly.
-Sarah. Sorry.
-Yeah. Like telling sorry would make everything okay.
-Miss Sarah, we will like to apologize for the damage our son has done to you. We acknowledge we didn't educate him well.
-I accept your apologies is what you want to hear but I will not say it.
-Baby you don't need to accept. We didn't come for that. We come for the compensation fee for breaking the engagement.
Surprised master and madam Sirakuzco shouted - Breaking the contract??!
-What are you talking about Luke?! We did this for the benefits. How can you broke it just like that. We will not accept.
-Yeah.
-Mom!! Dad!!
-Shh… The adults are talking. We know that you are angry Sarah, but this little spat is not reason to break this convenient marriage. We will educate him well… - Said Miranda Sirakuzco trying to appease us without having all the information.
"This is ridiculous. What did you said to them, Charles?"
Daddy snapped.
-Little spat?! Your devil spawn had and affair with my baby ex-best friend letting her become pregnant. And has the gallant to go to my house to break the betrothal trying to make it like it was my treasure fault.- Cursed fervently hitting the table. - You are being to much!!
-Luke!!
-What are you talking about?! Who pregnant with who's?! - Miranda and Marla paled considerably. Miranda scandalized and Marla humiliated.
-Obviously Charles and Marla.
-You are lying. Sarah, you can't accuse Charles of something like this while angry. It can ruin my son reputation.
-My sis is not lying! We have proof.
-Proof?!
-Yeah. - I replied amused taking the usb from my bag. - This usb has proof of his relationship with his 'true love' and her 'pregnancy'. You are so lucky. Be grandparents so soon . - I sighed deliberately.
-Put it in the TV. - Kris told his butler. Behind them, Charles and his darling went white but the Sirakuzcos couldn't find it. - I want to see this proof you are so proud to came to my house to accuse my heir of something this bad. If this is fake I will make your family compensate. - He scoped.
-Marla, Charles. How can you be so pale. Are you ill? - I asked them with a beautiful smile.
Suddenly without letting him or her answer Marla sweet voice come from the television. All of us shut up.
{
-Sarah.
-Yeah.
-I have a secret I can't tell my parents or anyone. I'm scared.
-Are you ill?! Something serious?! Terminal??!!
-No.. No. Not so extreme. But…
-Uff… You scared me too. If it nothing like that you can count on me. I will try to help you. Maybe you need someone to talk. I can be your confident!
-I'm pregnant. - She whispered.
-Who's?
-My prince. - Her voice sounded happy.
-You have a boyfriend??! How could you not telling me? I know him?
-Yes. But he don't want to be know so soon. But he is handsome. I can tell you that. Haha.
….
}
Mister and madam Sirakuzco looked to Marla. A bad premonition growing in them. Letting their opinions of her go down by a lot. Then the premonition happened.
{
-Sarah, I am breaking our engagement! I don't like you. You are only an egotistical, tyrannical and spoiled miss. I don't like useless girls in my life. I will marry my true love, Marla.
-Who is not only mature, intelligent, rich too, with a good family, not like yours but good nevertheless , a fairy from heaven…
…
}
-This… - Miranda whispered shocked not only by the audio but for the video of his beloved son denouncing her fiancée and acknowledging without speaking about the baby. - Charles… You…
-Luke…
-Don't. We will leave. Take the usb to make sure this is no fake and that we aren't lying. Then. Tomorrow morning I want a proper compensation proposal. Darling, baby, son. Let's go.
I followed my family a bit, then I turned.
-Mister, Madam. I suddenly realized that I haven't said something very important. - I looked to them and with a frivolous smile I said. - You better make what I'm going to say appear in that proposal. If not. We will not accept.
-Baby?
-Sis?
-I want something simple. Don't worry.
-What!? - Snapped Charles
-She can't be your future wife.
-What??!! - Two people paled, then become angered. - Yo-You!!
-I don't care if you adopt your children and take them to be officially family. I don't care if you have her as a mistress. Really. Don't care. But if you want her to enter your door as your wife them my family wouldn't be quiet. We will be enemies and we will oppose to everything your family and her family will trying to make. We are that great.
-Don't look at me like this Marla. You disappointed me greatly. When you were betraying me you should have thought about me counterattacking. Of course when playing with fire you can burn. And this burn hurts a lot.
-Bit*h!!! - Enraged Marla shouted.
-Not like you darling. I didn't climb my ex-best friend boyfriend bed. And I didn't bear a bastard child. But don't worry. You wanted so badly to be a little three. Then become forever one. Let's go.
-Sis. Awesome!!
-Good job baby!!
-Daughter…
'Bit*ch!!! I will make you regret it!!!!' sounded while we exited the villa.
"Refreshing…"
-Sis, don't worry. Big bro got you.
-Thanks. I'm okay. - Responded smiling.
***
The next morning papa told me that Kris Sirakuzco come to the office with a very good proposal. My 'petition' was in there too.
They took it to a notary and signed it. Charles and I became officially not promised. And my family become more rich while the other suffered.
"I feel great"
