Chereads / The Love That Bind: Love and Redemption / Chapter 8 - his ex-girlfriend.

Chapter 8 - his ex-girlfriend.

Diva's heels clicking against the floor sounded like a drumbeat, announcing her presence in the room. She sauntered in, her movements confident and poised, and flipped her hair in a dramatic gesture. Jeslyn was astounded by her beauty and boldness, and she could not help but wonder how such a confident, assertive woman was related to the quiet, reserved Nathan. It was a mystery that could only be solved over time.

Mrs. McDonald immediately smiled and approached Diva, hugging her and saying. "My dear, where have you been? Now, someone like her is marrying my son." She rolls her eyes as she stares at Jeslyn.

Jeslyn smiled, and the attendance encouraged her as she walked toward where they were standing, raised her head in confidence, and broadened her slim body, leaning on Nathan's built body with an incredible posture, demonstrating to Diva that he was hers. He furthermore stretches her hand forward.

"Hi, my name is Jeslyn, and I am Nathan's fiancé."

Diva accepts her hand, knowing that she is attempting to show her where she belongs, and that she will not step over her boundary to take what once belonged to her. "My name is Diva, and I am Nathan's best friend as well as his ex. Have you heard anything about me?"

Before Jeslyn can respond, she shifts her focus from her to Mrs. McDonald. "Mom, I apologize."

Jeslyn smirked as she watched them express their love for each other; otherwise, she is the third party, and it is clear that Mrs. McDonald is deceitful in wanting her son to marry two women.

"Ava". Diva called and hugged her, paying no attention to Jeslyn, who was still leaning on Nathan; in the meantime, Nathan was enjoying the show.

"Okay, I will go change into another wedding gown." Jeslyn excused herself and went into the changing room.

When Jeslyn left Nathan, Diva took advantage of the opportunity to get closer to him, moving closer to him and resting on his shoulder while they laughed and giggled together.

When Jeslyn emerged from the dressing room, the first thing she noticed was Nathan holding her waist while she rested her head on his chest; she sighed, she was supposed to be the one they focused on, not Diva.

Nathan looked up at Jeslyn and noticed the way she was looking; the corner of his lip moved slightly because he thought she was adorable.

Mrs. McDonald seemed not to like none of the dresses she tried on and kept on complaining about all of them comparing Jeslyn's fashion sense and figure with jeslyn.

Diva is not that slim and her legs are not as long as jeslyn legs, her body is larger which makes clothes fit her more. She was curvaceous and voluptuous, with a body that was full of luscious. Her legs were more shapely and muscular, Diva cloth hugged her body, highlighting her womanly figure.

While Jeslyn was slender and petite, her legs were long and lean. Jeslyn's clothes hung from her frame. The two women were opposites in body type, yet they were both stunningly beautiful in their ways.

"Mom I will also pick a dress". Diva said acting cutely.

"OK Diva should try on the dress first, Jeslyn you should go and change and pick any dress you like".

Jeslyn could not take it anymore, she bit on her lip, and yell. "Mother, I am the one who is getting married, not her?"

"So what, none of the clothes fits you".

Jeslyn looked at her coldly, went to the changing room, and put on her regular cloth, she took her bag and left the store, she could not take it anymore, why is it that she is the only one who used to get hurt, she is so pissed up right now that she cannot even think straight and drove to the bar.

She entered and went to the quiet place to sit down and drink gently, her past life memories kept flashing into her head, she was treated like this too in her previous life. Nobody gave her attention or was ready to listen to her.

"Hey, beauty". An odd man moved to her and hugged her waist tightly.

The drunk Joslyn tried to pull away from him. "Why is it that everyone just likes to take advantage of me, why?" She rested her head on his shoulder.

The man took the chance and wanted to drag her touching all over her body, he was enjoying it, and he was about to grab her boobs when someone grabbed his hand and pushed him away.

Jeslyn slowly lifted her head, her gaze coming to rest on the sight of Nathan standing tall and proud, with his hands casually tucked into his pockets. There was something about the way he carried himself that exuded confidence and strength, yet there was also a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. Jeslyn felt a jolt of electricity run through her body as their gazes met, and time seemed to stand still for a brief moment. She felt as if she were daydreaming.

"What are you doing here? "Where is your girlfriend, who your family adores?" She stuttered, blinking cutely.

" I am here to pick you up". He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him, hugging her waist tightly, picking her things up, and making her lean on him so that she would not fall.

She pouted her lip. " Why?"

He found her cute and giggled. "You are cute, I would love to see you drunk every day so that I can see this side of you".

She touch her cheek acting all cute and sexy, she giggled and blushed as Nathan's hand caressed her cheek, a coy smile playing on her lips. His touch was soft and tender, and it sent shivers down her spine. As he leaned in close, Jeslyn could feel her heartbeat quickening, and her body tingled with anticipation. She let out a little giggle, a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling up inside her.

In the next moment, she fell asleep on his chest, he carried her to his car and put her gently as if she were a glass that would break if he was not careful, he stared at her stubborn face and touched it, he pecked her lip and whispered. "Jeslyn, allow me to assist you in exacting your revenge."
