Chapter 3 - THIRD STORY : What's the cost of betrayal?

My name is Carolina and I have been with my boyfriend for three years now. He is a divorcee and have a pair of cuties that I adore so freaking much. Blonde curly hair, glowy navy blue eyes , his face ressembled a piece of art , he had thin lips , a high nose bridge , flawless skin texture , almond shaped eyes and long eyelashes , he even beneficied of a perfect body, broad straight shoulders, muscled hands and thighs , a slim waist, well toned abs and an incredible figure overall. His twin daughters ressembled him very much, blonde short hair, blue doe eyes, plumpy rosie lips ,a high nose bridge, and chubby cheeks. Both them and their father had dimples when they smiled making them look adorable. A while ago , he came by my house and asked my father for my hand in marriage. I was so excited but when we were hanging out later that day he announced to me that his ex-wife wants to live with us . I was flustered but I decided to shrug it off while trying to find a reason to accept the fact that she will be staying with us. I was still sceptical about it . A week has passed , and I was still not ready to accept his ex-wife's presence in our future home and that's when I received a call from an unknown number, I didn't actually answer at first but my phone kept ringing so I accepted the call:

_Hello, may I ask who you are?

_Hi , I am Selena

_ I'm sorry but I think that you called the wrong number.

_ You are Carolina right?

_ I am but how the fuck do you know my name?

_ You don't know me but I know your boyfriend personally

_ You are an acquaintance of Shawn?

_ You could say that

_ But why are you calling me and not him?

_Because I wanted to tell you

_ Tell me what ?

_ Shawn isn't divorced, he is still married

_ But he said that he got divorced in 2018

_ He isn't divorced....

The call got cut as Selena was speaking. I tried to call again but the number was non available. This call was suspicious but the picture that I received that evening proved everything. It was a conversation between Shawn and his "ex-"wife discussing when he will come back from California and when he will bring me back with him. I was in a state of shock, tears emerged from my eyes, I was on the verge of a panic attack . I was trembling while dialing Shawn's number he didn't answer so I just texted him to meet me near our favorite Starbucks location at 3pm. I started getting ready to meet him while having a total mental breakdown and as the clock hit 2pm30 I got out of the house and called an Uber . I reached my destination , took my usual order and started waiting for him near Starbuck's entry. I caught sight of his Mercedes so I went toward it and got on while resisting the urge to breakdown in front of him. He was smiling at me and asking if I'm doing okay as he assumed that something is going on because of the dryness of my message and I was just looking at him emotionless. I suddenly opened my mouth and uttered :

_ Shawn say the fucking truth . Are you still married to Alissa?

_I am not . We divorced in 2021

_And here we are . Didn't you divorce in 2018?

_Yeah sorry that's just a minor detail that anyone could have gotten wrong

_ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?

I started shaking violently as I was saying those words . I don't know what got into me at that moment but I slapped him hard on the face . He was shocked at first but his facial expressions quickly changed . He looked hella angry , his veins started popping out making their presence known , he clenched his jaw violently and I flinched when he yelled:

_WOULD YOU FUCKING MING GETTING YOUR ASS OUT OF MY CAR !! AS FOR THE DIVORCE THINGY I'LL SEND YOU THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS TONIGHT

I quietly got out of the vehicle and his car vanished of my view with the speed of light. he didn't even try to look back . I just lost it . My balance flew away and I found myself crying my eyes out on the cold ground with passers giving weird looks. PERFECT!!!!!!!!TODAY IS THE BEST OF MY LIFE!!! I got myself together, entered Starbucks and called both of my best friends, Sana and Evan . As soon as they received my message which said " come now I may do something to myself . I'm at my favorite Starbucks spot" , they texted me back asking me to calm down and telling that they will be there soon . I just sat there crying my heart out until someone hugged me it was Sana but then I felt another pair of huge hands hugging us both , it was non other than Evan. I told them everything. Sana started insulting Shawn with all sort of names while Evan kept quiet . I then said

_ Do you guys think that the girl on the phone was lying ?

I said with a glimmer of hope but I was brought back to freaking reality by Sana

_ GIRL ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, HE LIED , HE ISN'T DIVORCED THAT'S WHY HE SAID 2021 INSTEAD OF 2018 AND THE AUDACITY HE HAD TO JUST FREAKING DRIVE AWAY LEAVING YOU BEHIND

I looked at her angrily as she was destroying the last shreds of hope I had . I knew she was saying the truth but I wanted her to say what I wanted to hear . I thought for a second than said with a voice full of hope again

_ but he said he will send me the official documents that proved that he was divorced later tonight

My best friend Sana replied

_GIRL ARE YOU DELUSIONAL HE CAN JUST EDIT THAT SHIT OUT AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE HE IS DIVORCED. AND BESIDE THAT WHO IS THIS GIRL THAT WILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK HER EX HUSBAND TO LIVE AT HIS PLACE

Sana was breaking me again and again, deeper and deeper with her words . I finally lost it and yelled :

_ WHO ARE YOU TO TALK SANA ?YOU ARE JUST A BITCH THAT GOES AROUND MAKING OUT WITH RANDOM GUYS!! YOU EVEN LOST YOUR VIRGINITY WHILE GETTING RAPPED !! LIKE GIRL WHO WOULD WANT A DIRTY GIRL LIKE YOU!!! YOU ARE FOR THE STREETS.

Sana was flabbergasted, tears started falling down her cheeks and she yelled back :

_SO NOW I'M A BITCH, A GIRL FOR THE STEETS!! REALLY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BESIDE SAYS WHO THE GIRL THAT'S BEEN CLINGING TO A 44 OLD DIVORCEE WITH CHILDREN, THE GIRL THAT WAS GOING TO ACCEPT TO LIVE WITH HER MAN'S "EX WIFE" OR THE GIRL THAT IS STILL DENYING THAT HER MAN IS MARRIED AND THAT HE NEVER DIVORCED LIKE HE PRETENDED TO . I DID RATHER BE A GIRL FOR THE STREETS THAN A 25 YEARS OLD GIRL THAT IGNORED HER OWN VALUES FOR A FUCKING 44 YEARS OLD MAN .

_THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING CAROLINA, SANA ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU AND THAT'S HOW YOU ARE REWARDING HER BY CAUSING HER TRAUMA TO TAKE OVER HER AGAIN.

Sana didn't talk for the rest of the day . Evan did the talking and I Carolina Thomarson knew I fucked up badly . I talked about Sana's biggest Trauma her rape experience and worst of all I yelled it in a coffee shop . I knew that she was going to have a panic attack at any moment ,could be in a minute,an hour or a day. But to my huge surprise she didn't, she calmly went back home . I somehow got to know that today she was staying alone at home and I had a feeling that she was going to do something she may regret later . I asked Evan to accompany her because she won't let me do it right now. She refused so I asked him to visit her later in the afternoon and to sleep over in her house to keep her safe.

_TO BE CONTINUED BUT FROM SANA'S POINT OF VIEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!
