Elia felt like she was dreaming. No, a dream was not how she would describe what she was seeing right now, a nightmare would be more suitable instead.
"Yes, babe, give it to me, fuck me harder" The bed creaked due to the sheer amount of action that was taking place. Worse, the bed in question was Elia's and they were doing the deed inside her room.
"I love you, Jake"
"I Love....haaa, you too, baby," Said Elia's boyfriend to her stepsister. While the duo went on with their confessions, Elia stood near the door like a fool. She was a fool indeed. To not realize what was going on behind her back, what was she other than a fool? She turned a blind eye towards all the flirting her boyfriend and stepsister were doing till now because deep down, she wanted to trust him.
Not her vile stepsister but her long-time boyfriend. He has been with her for her whole life so getting betrayed by him never crossed her mind. She convinced herself that even if her stepsister made moves on him, he would not reciprocate it. She believed him wholeheartedly. Elia could not stop the tears as she recalled all the happy moments she shared with him. The precious memories that she held dear to her heart shattered into pieces.
Her love, Jake.....how could he do this to her? "How dare you!?" A shrill shout left her mouth as she glared at the cheating couple on the bed. The latter scrambled away from each other hearing her voice. Her stepsister, Lorna covered her naked self with the sheets while her boyfriend hurriedly put on his pants before rushing towards Elia.
"Lia, I can explain. It's not what it looks like, me and Lorry were..."
"Don't touch me" Elia said cutting his words and taking a step back trying to avoid him from touching her, "You are disgusting, don't you dare touch me"
Jake frowned and looked hurt, "Lia, how can you talk to me like that? Your boyfriend?"
Elia scoffed, "Hello mister, I think you are mistaken here" Then she pointed at her stepsister, "The moment you decided to screw that bitch, our relationship ended. You are my Ex-boyfriend now"
Jake's face darkened hearing that and it intensified as he heard Lorna's sobs behind him. Not caring about his girlfriend, he immediately went towards Lorna and started to console her, "Please don't cry, Lorry. Please calm down"
"Hic.....I'm sorry, Jake, because of me, you got to hear those harsh words" Lorna wailed while looking up at her sister, "I'm really sorry, Elia, I didn't mean this to happen, but I just couldn't control my feelings for Jake. You know I love him"
Jake's heart softened upon hearing her words. How could she be such an angel? Even though Elia cursed at her, she was more worried about him having to hear the words that could hurt him. She was once again putting him above herself.
This made Jake angry, he glared at Elia with a menacing look in his eyes, "Look what you did, how could you say those things to your sister, I can't believe I loved someone like you"
Elia was left speechless as he continued, "I should have known you were no good. I was a fool to believe you when you badmouthed Lorry. Your sister is a far better person than you could ever be"
That pierced right at Elia's heart. The things she had said about Lorna were all true, the latter was a manipulative and vile woman. From the moment she entered Elia's house with her mother, both made sure to make her life a hell. Every day she suffered at their hands and wished to disappear. The only thing keeping her from falling to the bottom was Jake. Elia loved him, trusted him enough to share her innermost thoughts and feelings and how did he pay her back? He not only cheated with her enemy but was also making a spectacle of her vulnerable moments.
"You chased after me like the desperate woman you are," Jake said continuing to hurt her more, "I took pity on you and agreed to be your boyfriend, you should be thankful that I even agreed to be with someone like you"
Elia pursed her lips, "You cheated on me....."
"So what?" He was saying that as though it was not a big deal, "Don't tell me you expected me to be faithful to you of all people? You.....a university dropout, ugly four-eyes? Your own father doesn't like you, what made you think that I would? The only reason I ever gave you a time of a day was because you were your father's legitimate child but with him hating you? I don't see any advantage"
Elia saw her stepsister smirk hearing Jake's words. To pummel her deeper she decided to add her own opinion, "He is right, Elia. No man wants you, I mean look at you. You don't know how to dress, and those glasses...I don't want to say it, but you are ugly. Jake is a man capable of having a great future, you will only hold him back. Right Jake?"
"Yes, my love" Jake readily responded, "In high society, Lorna will be a perfect match for me unlike you. You know what? Forget that we ever dated, I have had enough of getting associated with you. Now get out of my sight"
Elia's throat burned and tears freely streamed down her face. The only thing she could muster up to say was, "This is my house, you two should get out not me" This was the only place she could call her own. Her mother lived here and left it for Elia after her passing. Maybe, that was why she was not ready for what she was about to hear next.
Jake had a dismissive look on his face as he blurted out, "About that, last month you signed those papers thinking that they were prenup right?" Elia had a bad feeling about what he would say next, "Instead it was a property transfer deed. I changed this house' ownership to Lorna"
