Chereads / Millionaire’s genius wife / Chapter 14 - misunderstanding

Chapter 14 - misunderstanding

Brent carefully held her arms, walking to the exit. The girl was stumbling more now then before. That alcohol might be building up more. He was still surprised as to how Wish ended up drunk when she hated it. Surely someone might have offered her the drink. What if they had took advantage without her knowing? The sudden realisation made him stop.

" What.....is it??" Wish mumbled swaying around.

Brent stood there, his breath stuck in his mouth. " Did-did anybody...try to be close with you?"

She thought for a while and remembered how veronica started a conversation with her, " Yeah!"

He could feel his blood boiling, as rage built up in his head. " Who was it...do you know?"

Wish couldnt speak properly, losing her balance. " I wanna...go home..."

Brent held her straight, staring directly in her eyes. Her head was tilting side by side loosely, her hair was covering half of her face and her lipstick was slightly smudged. She smirked suddenly, making him surprised. " Are you trying to kiss me??"

He couldnt say anything as his lips went dry. This was the first time seeing her be this bold. It was strangely hot. " But i wont let you!" she tried to get away from his grip.

Brent quickly caught her properly again, " I-i asked who tried to touch you?" he repeated, controlling his thoughts. Then Her head fell back exposing her bare neck. It looked so smooth and white, he wanted to feel it. he quickly regained his thoughts, leveling her head straight. "Wish!! Who was it??"

" C...cou..sin" she had forgotten his cousins name.

Brent couldnt hear her properly as she was mumbling in a low voice. Looks like she really couldn't take it anymore. " Caleb??..."

He had misheard her mumblings and had became furious now. " I knew it was him!" he pulled her back again. " Just wait for a while. Ill make him regret for ever touching you!"

" Hmm...hmm.." she mumbled, struggling to walk.

Caleb was about to enter the party hall when Brent shouted at him, " Hey!! stop there you pervert!!"

" What??!" he glared back at the guy shouting like an insane, " Who did you call pervert??"

" You!! how dare you touch my fiancée..." they stood inches apart.

Caleb put his hands on his waist, tired of his accusations, " for the last fucking time, im telling you i have no intentions-"

Smack.

Brent punched his face before he could complete his words.Caleb stumbled back wincing due to pain. He resisted to punch him so that he could clear the misunderstanding, " I told you i never touched her!!"

" And you think im gonna believe??" Brents eyes were red due to anger. He readied his fist to punch him again but Wish caught his arms.

In between the two boys, she was holding either of their arms, standing in a weird position.

" Wish, back off....im gonna kill this dude..." Brent moved but she gagged.

" wait...Wish..." Caleb said realising but it was too late.

" Warghhhahhh..." she threw up in the middle, freezing the two boys. " Ughhh....Shitt..."

And that was the first time, the boys witnessed her cursing.

—-

" ouchh...." Wish struggled to open her eyelids from the brightness. She was having a massive headache right after waking up. " What....where...??" she slowly looked around. It was for sure not her room. " Last night....what happened..." her head was blank, nothing came to her memories.

Just then a figure entered the room. Oh no, is that Brent?

" How is your head?" he said in his low voice. This time he wasnt smirking or giving off bratty looks.

" Umm...how in the world did i end up here??" she asked with genuine confusion.

Brent looked at her with disappointment in his face. He didnt look in a good state. " Do you wanna know?"

She gulped when he said that. What went down? She remembered having drinks with the cousin....veronica. And they were in the dance hall...did she black out after that?? because of the vodka? " No!!"

" You dont wanna know?" he asked folding his arms.

" No...i mean...was it bad??"

Brent sighed tiredly, making Wish scared. " Somebody....." he rubbed his forehead trying to come up with right words, " Caleb....tried to take advantage of you."

Wish scrunched her brows. Caleb? they hadnt even met? " you must be wrong..." she tried remembering the night, " Because we didnt even meet."

" How are so sure? You dont even know where we met??" Brent said irritated.

Meanwhile, Wish thought hard about what happened.

" In case you are wondering we met in the store room..." brent bickered.

" Store room..." wish finally remembered, " the store room!"

Brent eyed her in a weird way, " Yes and caleb was there."

She scrunched her brows, a faint flashback of two figures in paint appeared in her head, " somebody was covered in paint..."

" Oh yes...but that doesnt matter because Caleb was the one who called you there..." brent ignored her words.

" But...." the message she got in the first place was from Lisa to come there.

" The scene was absurd because i think Lisa youre sister was also there drenched in paint..." he shook his head.

" Huh??!...."

" Yeah and....that guy...youre...boyfriend....Luke or something was also there."

Wish was even more confused now. What the hell was happening in there? " Lucas?? why...."

" I think caleb wanted to drench you in paint and those two came there for some reason failing his plan.....wait!" brent clicked his finger when he came up with this new assumption. It made sense. " so that was caleb's plan!"

" Brent...." wish said seriously, " you told the two were drenched in paint out of nowhere right?"

" not sure but yeah.."

" im sorry to cancel your assumption because my sister Lisa first called me to the store room." she stared him, as he changed his expression. " What...?"

" Yes, i was supposed to be there and caleb messaged me at the same time asking where i was and since i was drunk i told him the store room while i went to the washroom." she spoke thinking hard, " Hence i was late to come there."

Brent scoffed in disbelief, " that...that cant be...it has to be caleb..."

" im telling you...its not caleb. okay?"

He was shocked and regretful at the same time. Out of anger, he had punched Caleb when he had done nothing. How was he going to face him again?

" on another note.." wish looked upset, " i think my sister had plans which failed."

" What do you mean?" he asked not trying to think what she was thinking.

" I cant believe..." she clenched her fist, " she could do...something like that."

" Wait....you mean...the paint?" Brent went through the situation, trying to deny the possibility.

Wish slowly nodded , her knuckles had gone white due to too much pressure.

" Yes...thats right. I think i need to do some serious talk with my sister now."
