Chapter 1 PAINFUL HEARTBREAK.
Hera was running in the rain but not at a fast pace. It was quite dark due to nature's course of events. Even though it was cold, she had hot burning tears streaming down her now pale skin. That night was the darkest and most unforgettable night of her life as she was forced to experience a second death to her recovering heart that was filled with injuries that were scarcely bandaged. Why did this happen to her? Was it bad to ask for just one time a chance to be happy and to forget her sorrow?... Just one time to try to live in her world of fantasies?
Someone who appeared to be a man ran up to her and grabbed her right hand, forcefully turning her around. He was breathing heavily as the rain reduced its power of pouring.
" He...Hera, you've got to listen to me, okay? Don't jump to a conclusion yet, I need to explain what you saw earlier and it's not what you think."
" What did you say? It's not what I think? How could you have done this to me? She is my stepsister! Even if you wanted to commit such an abomination act, why should you have done it to my sister? Why? It's a month to our marriage, you fool! " Hera cried as she hit his firm chest harder.
" Listen, Hera it's not really what you... "
" Shut up, James! Just shut it. Aren't you ashamed of saying that dirty words over and over again? I saw it clearly. I...I saw it with my two eyes, you and...and her on the bed...stark naked... " Hera paused as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She just couldn't say it out as it tasted like a bitter pill.
She had planned all day how she was going to surprise the man she had come to love with her broken heart that she thought was being fixed with his arrival into her life. It was his birthday and she had baked a cake for him with rich ingredients...a homemade cake she was sure that he would love. Hera did not bother calling him so she could inform him of her coming. She sets out as early as she could in the evening after making sure her son had something to eat before greeting him goodbye. She never planned to stay over for her son's sake so that was why she set her short journey as early as possible not knowing what she was going to face.
On her way to his house, she tried calling his number but it was switched off. ' Why is his phone switched off? It never gets switched off. ' She had wondered but never cast any thought to the reason. There was traffic on the way so she had to arrive late though she didn't mind. She got to the entrance and knocked consecutively but she got no response so she opened the door, surprisingly it wasn't locked. She looked around in search of him and opted for his bedroom with a smile on her face but the smile soon faded off when she heard the erotic moans of a man and a woman coming from inside the room. She opened the door only to meet the worst scene of her life, her stepsister was sitting on her fiancee having raw sex with him.
They didn't seem to notice her arrival until the cake she was holding fell to the ground, that was when the two looked up at her with a shocked expression. James wasn't expecting her that late neither was Ella, Hera's stepsister but she did not stop the act as she continued moaning loudly and had her release. Hera's feet were rooted to the ground for about three minutes before dashing out of the room and house in pain.
James in a haste pushed Ella off him and put on the least clothing he could think of before running after Hera. Ella did not seem to mind as she picked the remote control on the desk and turned on the air conditioner after the hot sex she had just finished. She stood up and went to take her bath so she could go home for the night.
So, there they were, Hera seeking an explanation for James' misconduct, the dark, cold and rainy night.
" You betrayed me, James. You betrayed the...love I had for you. " Hera was sobbing hard as her lips shivered.
" Will you quit it already? I am sick of hearing you tell me how much you love me when you certainly don't. " James accused and Hera's mouth widened in disbelief.
" Yes, you don't love me, Hera. What do you think a relationship entails? Do you think it's all about kissing me, visiting me every time with that son of yours from God knows where? I am a man, Hera and my body craves sexual needs and desires like every other man out there but you denied me this multiple times. " Hera looked dumbstruck by what she just heard. They started six months and their wedding...not even an engagement was stimulated for next month, she allowed him to kiss her and maybe romance her once in a while but she only denied him sex because she wanted to know how faithful and loyal he could be.
