On the other side,
Leo stepped out of the car and entered the hotel in a good mood. He had found the woman of his dreams,and even spent the night with her. Despite his cold and stern face, he looked a little approachable.
He made his way to room 306 but before he could open the door, he halted in his foot steps. The door was slightly opened and through the crack, he could see no one was sleeping on the bed.
His heart sunk as he slowly opened the door revealing an empty room. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Edward's number. the phone connected quickly and Edward's cheerful voice ring through.
" So, big brother only remember me after he's done having fun. Tell me, how did it go?"
" She's gone" He answered coldly. The other side was silent for a while before saying " what happened? where were you? " " I had a business to attend so I left early. " He heard a deep sign from the other end then a deep male voice sounded again
" Can't you put yourself first sometimes? You always put your business meetings and confrences first. Your personal life sometimes matters. think about it? she might think you took advantage of her."
" you're overthinking things. I'll just explain things to her. she'll understand." Leo brushed it off as if it was nothing. He called him to ask for a solution not to get criticized. Seeing that the phone call was useless, he hunged up directly before Edward could say anything.
Leo sat on the bed and took off his shoes. He was still exhausted from the previous night events and fell into a slumber.
He was usually a light sleeper but after finally meeting Lea, he felt more at ease and slept well. While Leo slept soundly, the two sisters hugged each other and cried bitter tears.
After paying the driver, Lea rushed back into the house and headed straight upstairs. She was about to knock on Rose's door when the door opened bringing Rose's pitiful appearance to sight.
Lea felt heart broken when she saw her like this and immediately hugged her crying loudly " Rose! who did this to you? I'll make them pay in a hundred folds!" hearing this, the tears she had managed to hold back , flower freely, instantly wetting the shoulder of the bathrobe Lea wore.
They both cried until there was no tears to be shed. Rose wiped her face with the back of her hand then, took the last tissue to wipe Lea's face with it.
" Okay that's enough. why are you also crying?" Lea bit her lip feeling guilty. " Tell me what's wrong with you then I'll also tell you mine" Rose couldn't help but give a bitter smile. She closed her eyes, as if enduring something.
When she opened her eyes, her once clear and innocent eyes were now filled with self mockery and bitterness. She took in a deep breath and started....
" Last night, when you left for the club,I felt bored and decided to go out for a walk. After walking for sometime, I felt hungry and decided to go to the restaurant nearby to eat.
Coincidentally, as soon as I entered, I saw Sam enter the door which leads to the kitchen...." Rose paused and took in a deep breath suppressing the lump forming in her throat.
Lea suddenly had a bad feeling. After taking a deep breath, Rose continued...
" I thought it wouldn't hurt if I just went ahead to say ' hi ' so, I followed. And that's when I saw him....." this time, Rose's tears began to flow freely as she chocked on them.
Lea's heart sunk then she pulled her in for a tight hug. " you don't have to say it if you can't handle it." Lea said patting her back.
Rose stubbornly freed herself from Lea's embrace and continued " He was thrusting in and out of a blonde girl. I stood there as he cum inside her and kissed her. Even with my presence, she didn't feel embarrassed after they finished. She even walked up to me and told me Sam was taken!
How shameless could they be?" At this point, all emotions drained from her eyes. She was sad because she was hurting and angry because that same man proposed to her friend!
That scum!!! Lea was disappointed but it wasn't as intense as Rose's. She was angry on one hand and relieved on the other hand because they had found out early.If not, Rose would have been more hurt than this.
For the time being, she didn't tell Rose about her painful story and suggested they go out for breakfast,then go to the park after lunch and she readily agreed.
Lea stood infront of the mirror looking at herself. After last night, she felt she had become a different person. As if she had acquired some kind of charm after last night. She stood there in a daze until she heard her name from down stairs.
She snapped back to reality and went down stairs. Rose stood with a cheerful grin plastered on her face but Lea could tell she was still sad. She also smile cheerfully and hooked her arm around Rose's elbow " shall we? " Lea said as she opened the door then swaggered out with Rose.
They hailed a taxi and dropped in front of a dinner. As soon as Lea stepped out of the taxi, she felt a strong wave of pain in her lower body making her crouch down. Rose noticed this and rush to check if her friend was alright." Lea, are you uncomfortable? did you forget to eat last night?" Rose thinking her friend was feeling uncomfortable due to hunger helped her into the dinner.
Lea slammed into one of the nearby chair while clutching her stomach. she was sweating profusely. Rose hurriedly waved the waiter signaling him to bring the menu. She ordered all of lea's favorite dishes without hesitation and took one spoon. She fetched a spoon full of rice porridge and slowly stuffed it in Lea's mouth.
Lea swallowed the steaming porridge and forced out a smile. The porridge had burned her throat making her face flush from pain which made her smile look uglier than cry. Rose looked at her and felt heartbroken.
Her face turned serious and she looked intently at Lea. " Spit it out " Rose said as she crossed her arms. Lea was confused for second before catching up on the meaning behind her words.
She pursed her lips tightly indicating that she didn't want to talk about it. Rose saw this and coldly cleared her throat also indicating she was waiting.
With a deep breath, Lea began to explain what happened at the hotel. Rose's expression changed from cold to heartbroken then to cold again.
By the time Lea was done explaining, Rose's face had changed a hundred times. Now her face was blue and red from anger. She gave a cold smile " they think they can do the sbto you and get away with it? Hehe! What a joke!"
Lea saw her like this and held her hands " I have a feeling there's something we're overlooking. What if he didn't know about the other party?" " Didn't know? Think about it, you got attacked and the next thing you know, you're in bed with a guy who looks like your childhood friend! Lea, even an idiot would know this was a setup!"
Lea signed and shook he head." Let's not jump to conclusions yet. I know it was Leo ...I'm sure of it. " Rose was outraged she was flaring up with anger. Why would Lea still be defending them? In he opinion, Lea still didn't know the severity of the incident.
As they were speaking, the door to the dinner opened and the fuming Rose instantly froze...
