" How do we let go of the pains in our hearts?"
The bedroom was untidy with clothes strewn all over, glass of wine spilled on the floor with an opened bottle of expensive wine besides it. A beautiful brunette sat up gingerly on the bed holding her head which was pounding from the excess alcohol she has taken the night before.
" Gosh my head" she muttered as she reach for the medication for hangover and water a maid had placed on the table beside her bed when she was asleep.
Melissa Macallam had drank herself to stupor the night before to numb how she was feeling after her confrontation with Megan who had betrayed her trust and cheated on her brother several years ago which still felt like yesterday to her .
She had been best friends with Megan from childhood, they were like sisters and she trusted her so much. This was the reason why when Jared her big brother asked her bestie out she was so happy knowing she was the perfect woman for him.
Before Megan, She knew Jared to be uninterested in a woman and when he started dating her, he centered his whole life around her.
He wasn't afraid to let everyone know that she was his woman.
Megan cheating on Jared and witnessing it was shocking to her.
She was so heartbroken that it took her days to come out of the shock and when she did, she has witnessed her brother go through pain from the cheating that it took him months to get better.
It fueled her hate for Megan which made her surprised when Jared called to say they were married. She thought he was joking at first till he brought in her home.
She and her family had made Megan understand that they don't like her and never welcomed her while she had looked on innocently like she was being bullied by them.
Last night, her mom had hosted a party which Megan has attended.
She had felt angry seeing her , holding her brother lovely and smiling like the past never happened.
She was marveled at how she thought it was okay to cheat on her brother and come back to him now because he is now wealthy and had influence.
Megan had an innocent look that makes you want to protect her when you meet her while she wasn't innocent one bit.
She was nothing more than a golddigger and she goes for the highest bidder which she proved years ago by being with Andre secretly even though she was dating her brother.
It made her wonder how long the act had been going on before they caught her and if someone hasn't spill, will they have ever find out the kind of person she was?
The kind that was only with her brother probably because of his potentials and waiting to see if his app will take off or not before deciding to settle for him or leave him.
She shivers as she thought about how she was binding her time by being the loving and perfect girlfriend while she two-timed.
It baffled her that Megan was so manipulative even at the age where girls like them was innocent of alot of things concerning life and whatnots.
To think they believed her lies of being a virgin, her dreams of waiting for the "ONE" then when she got together with Jared said " he was her one true love " and wanting to lose it on her wedding night with her brother.
She has always woven a tale of how perfect they were together, how she was never going to leave him but will rather die, how she was always going to be there for him no matter what and that she was lucky to have found her prince charming.
"How was she ever going to explain her lack of being a virgin and how does she hope to get away with such lies about the real truth ", she wondered.
A ding sound from her phone brought her back to the present which prompt her to stand up from the bed, put on her robe and went to pick it up from where it was lying on her dresser.
She saw the notification from JARAV a popular site owned by her brother where news, entertainment, sports e.t.c where posted.
She saw the notification on Jared and his wife attending their family party and she clicked on it.
She saw a lot of comments about Megan under the news where she was bashed repeatedly.
Reading the news made her scoffs and said " everyone knows who Megan is".
This was one of the satisfaction she got knowing that the world knows who Megan truly was, despite her pretence.
"Bloody golddigger ", she swore as she scroll down more comments on them.
The only person who seems to be in the dark or doesn't seem to care happened to be her brother and it made her wonder what happened this past month that changed her brother so much that he was willing to forgive and marry her a woman who had cost him so much pain and agony.
She had asked him and he never gave her any reply only tell her to " let it go" which has made her very perplexed.
Her trying to figure out what happened has not yield anything and knowing the kind of man her brother was, if he didn't want her to find out she will never be able to.
She thought love was everything until she witnessed the way her brother's relationship had gone which affected how she sees relationships relationship and she no longer believe true love existed.
The way Megan and Jared relationship ended sent her on a spiral bend that she decided she just wants to get down with men then leave afterwards no looking back, no after cuddles or affection of any kind .
She has been with men who think they could be the one to make her stay , despite their giving her attention but she hasn't been able to change her ways. She is quickly to run off if the man starts to get emotionally attached to her.
It has been years and she has stick to the policy of " No love"
