There were loud gasps heard all over the room. Everyone was shocked to see what was played on the screen. They all wanted to know if his wife knew, that the husband she keeps boasting about is nothing but a dishonest, deceitful, cheating husband. Looking at the video playing on the huge screen Mrs. Jenner looked shamefaced. Aron Jenner looked as if he didn't know what to to say make his wife believe that he didn't cheat. The whole room wanted to see Mrs. Jenner reaction . Everyone was waiting for her to hit or maybe throw the glass of wine she was holding on her husband's face. Feeling utterly embarrassed, Mrs. Jenner left the venue. Aron's eyes found Abella's. He looked at her with resentment. Walking away from the room he rushed behind his wife. Then Abella's eye met with the chairman of her hospital who was also best friends with the organizer of the charity event, Mr.West. The chatter of the room stopped once Mr. Rhys West stepped on the podium and called for everyone's attention.
"Good evening everyone, we'll have to cut short today's event because of the mishap that has occurred just now. This is a very unfortunate event that Mrs. Jenner has gone through. This was a private matter that has become very public. I am hoping that everyone present in the room will cooperate and not let the public, or media hear a word about it. Thank you everyone for joining us today and everyone who has made donations for the betterment of the unfortunate. Have a safe trip back to the hotel."
Listening to this everyone got the cue that they had to leave the venue and the party was over. Everyone started to leave the room when the chairman of Abella's hospital, Mr. Alexander Warner stopped Abella and asked her to step aside with him. Pulling her aside he went on to ask her if she was the one who played the video on the screen, he already knew about the Cold War they both had going on.
"Well technically I personally didn't play the video. " Mr. Warner gave the look by which Bella knew not to mess with him and give him straightforward answers. "Yes I am the one who did that" she accepted.
Exhaling Mr. Warner replied ''Do you understand what you have done today? Do you realise what is at stake right now? Do you know the extremity of your action? You have humiliated the daughter of Mr. Cambell. What do you think is going to happen when Mr. Cambell will come to know that the doctor from my hospital has done it, in Mr. West's charity event. Do you understand how many people are going to be in trouble because of your fun."
"Fun!? Do you actually think I would do this for my fun? Are you saying that I shouldn't have informed his wife about his disloyal ass?"
"Was that your only intention? Letting her know that her husband has been cheating on her? If that was so, then you could have told her this in private. But even you know that you did this for you own personal agendas, because of your hatred towards him."
"He showed my presentation at the event."
Listening to this he looked shocked for a second, but then he continued,"Those presentations were not even that important. You know that too, it was merely for the shows. You are not a kid Abella. You are a grown women. So behave like one. You know very well that this could have been handled differently. Do you not know that everything that you do will have consequences? And right now so many people will have to deal with the consequences of your action. I expected better from you" shaking his head he left her alone to deal with the realisation.
He had never talked to her like this, not even when she came to the hospital as a resident and made stupid mistakes. Because of Aron she had to listen to all this. Angry tears were ready to get spilled from her eyes. Blinking away the tears she went towards the exit and saw her driver already waiting for her. Feeling relieved that she wouldn't have to wait for her car and risk some tear slipping out of her eyes in public she quickly made her way inside.
Reaching the hotel she stepped in through the doors of the hotel to meet with Camilla, the infamous Mrs. Jenner who just came to know about her husband's infidelity. She was at the reception desk, asking for another room. But it seemed like the answer she got from the front desk wasn't in her favor and she didn't look pleased about it.
Abella went towards her and offered to let her stay in her own room with her. To which she completely disregarded and continued to talk with the front desk. She tried once again only for Camilla to snap at her,"What do you think you are trying to do right now? Be the nice person? Where was this greatness when you played that video in front of everyone." Listening to this she looked shocked and tried to come up with a response but failed miserably. Rolling her eyes Camilla left the scene, probably to go back to her own room as no room seemed to be available.
The night just couldn't get any better, Bella thought and swallowing the hurt she went towards the elevator to go back to her room. Reaching her room she got out of that huge ball gown and went straight to wash herself up. The warm water cascaded down her body, making her relaxed. Closing the shower she dries herself and wore her favorite light blue shirt which reached till her mid thighs. Taking her mobile phone from the dresser with her she slipped inside the covers. Unlocking her phone she saw missed calls from her step-dad and mom. She thought to call them back, she thought talking to them would lighten her mood.
But boy how wrong she could have been!
With a positive look she dialed her mom first, only for her mood to be dampened even more. After listening to her lecture about today's event, she had to endure her step father's lecture too. She couldn't believe that they were actually angry at her. Rather than taking her side they were lecturing her on how immaturely she had handled the situation. This time the tears that she had been blinking away came out flooding. Those weren't just tears of hurt, they were more of angry tears.
Somewhere during the past hours of midnight her tears dried out but she couldn't get herself to sleep. At this point she was hating on everyone, Aron, his wife, Mr Warner, her mom, her stepdad, even her brother and dad who she was sure knew what had happened and still not called her to ask how she was. Knowing that sleep wasn't coming to her for the night, she thought of writing her book. She sat on the desk with her laptop. Her fingers hovered the keyboards but she couldn't write a single word. Nothing seemed to come to her mind. Her mind felt blank. Shutting down the laptop she moved towards the mini bar of her room. Picking up her favorite wine bottle and a wine glass she moved towards the balcony and sat on the small dining table. She poured herself the first glass, and then the second, the third. At one point she ditched the glass and drank straight from the bottle. All of a sudden there were countless shooting stars in the sky, she wasn't sure if they were real or was it something that her drunk self was making up. Nevertheless she thought of making a wish, "I wish that idiot, old Aron Jenner goes and fucking dies, along with his old hag of a wife, and that chairman too. I just hope everyone dies. Then there would be nothing to worry about. I hope the whole world dies. I hope the world gets destroyed." saying this her eyes closed and her head fell on the table soon she dozed off the night, unaware of the doom she had just wished for.
