Do not underestimate the allure of darkness, even the purest hearts are drawn to it. ********** She was a woman who believed that love existed but he was a man who believed that power matters. She sacrificed everything to be with him, but he played with her feelings. Elena is divorced by her husband, on their first anniversary day. After cheating on her on their matrimonial bed, he blackmails her, which leads to her going to prison. After three months, Elena is back with a powerful revenge plan on her mind. "To Alan that hurt her, it's time to pay for his crimes."
Elena's footsteps echoed through the silent hallway as she stepped inside.
It was a stressful day and she needed to take a shower and prepare for her anniversary with Alan.
Her expectations were cut short when she ascended the stairs leading to her bedroom only to hear the sounds of moans emanating from the room.
The sounds grew louder as she climbed the stairs. The soft, husky moans sent a shiver down her spine, her heart racing with a mix of shock and disbelief.
Tried so hard not to believe that it was coming from her matrimonial room but the more she climbed the stairs, it became clear that it was her matrimonial room.
The creaks, the groans, the soft gasps and the unmistakable whispers of pleasure all painted a vivid picture in her mind.
The partially opened door made it easy for her to the two figures curled up on the bed.
The sheets were twisted around them. Her husband's arm was wrapped around the lady's waist, his hand resting on her hip.
The lady's leg was draped over his, her foot tucked between his calves.
Elena's eyes felt like they were burning, her vision blurring as she stared at them. This was a moment that was never meant for her eyes. She held the bottle of champagne she was carrying tight to avoid making a sound.
The only thing on her mind was to go inside and break their heads. Alan has done the worst thing she could ever imagine today.
Elena drew a deep breath before she gathered the courage to walk into the room.
She pushed the door open with a sudden, fierce motion, the wood crashing against the wall with a loud bang. Her husband's eyes went wide, his mother dropping open in a wide shock.
The mistress's arm flashed across her chest, her hands grasping for the sheet.
Elena's face reddened, by her left-hand side was the champagne she held tight. She sprinted towards the bed with champagne ready to smash it on the mistress's head.
But before she could do that her husband lunged forward, his arms wrapping around her.
"Elena, no!" he shouted, his voice quiet in her ear.
She struggled against his grip, her body twisting and turning as she tried to break free. Alan still held her, his finger digging into her skin.
"Elena, calm down, let's talk about this. Please understand."
"Understand what? That you've been cheating on me. You never intended to honour our vows did you?"
Alan's eyes moved quickly around the room, avoiding her gaze.
"Let me go!" she spat her voice bitter.
"You are going to pay for this !"
She wrenched herself free from Alan's grasp. The champagne bottle slipped from her hand, shattering on the floor as it spilt its contents.
Elena's gaze locked on her husband, her eyes burning with a mixture of anger, hurt and betrayal.
After some minutes, her gaze dropped, her eyes losing their fierce intensity. She turned, her feet dragging her as she disappeared from the bedroom moving to the sitting room.
Elena collapsed onto the sofa, tears streaming down her cheeks. She buried her face in the cushions, her sobs muffled like fabrics.
Her mind raced, thoughts swirling. What did I do wrong? Was it something I said? The questions tormented her. She rocked back and forth as the tears continued to flow.
Elena's sobs were interrupted by a gentle touch on her shoulder. She froze her body still buried in the cushions. She slowly lifted her head and turned to face the figure that touched her. The look she gave when she saw the figure was a mixture of anguish and anger.
"What did I do to deserve this ?"Elena asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I know I hurt you, Elena. I'm so sorry. This marriage was never going to work in the first place", Alan replied.
"Sorry isn't enough Alan. You broke me, you shattered my trust, my heart... everything," Elena's voice cracked.
"Elena, listen_"Alan stood his finger pointing towards her.
"I love Victoria. I only married you because of Mother, "Alan's words tumbled out in a rush.
"Your mother is dead, Alan. And now you are trying to just get rid of me?"Elena's words came in short gasps.
"I'm trying to be honest, Elena. We were never going to work out. It's time for you to move on."
"Move on? You want me to just forget everything we shared, my feelings for you, my sacrifices. "
"Forget? No Elena. We want you to face reality. You were never meant to be with him."Victoria interrupted the conversation, wrapping her hand around Alan's body.
Elena tried hard to hold back the tears. She was in pain. She did not want to lose Alan because he had always been the man of her dreams.
"Alan, today is our first anniversary, you should have honoured it before fu** ing her. You fu** her in our matrimonial bed."Elena's voice was soft.
"Can you stop with the emotions Elena, I want you to go in there and pack your bags because you are no longer welcome here."Victoria's voice thundered.
Elena's lips curled up, a low, husky laugh escaping her throat.
Victoria's expression changed, her brow frowning in confusion."What's so funny?"
Elena's eyes blazed with anger as she took a step closer to Victoria. Her hand shot out, grasping Victoria's neck in a tight grip. Victoria's eyes widened, her face paling as Elena's fingers dug deep into her skin.
"You think you can just come in here and take everything away from me?"Elena's voice was low and scary, her words dripping with venom.
Victoria's hands grabbed at Elena's arm, trying to pry her loose."Elena stop you are hurting me! Alan."
Elena's grip tightened, her eyes flashing with fury."You should have thought of that before coming in between Alan and me."
She shoved Victoria backwards, sending her crashing onto the sofa.
Alan rushed forward his face, his face pale with concern."Baby, are you okay ?"He helped her sit up, his eyes glanced at Elena.
Victoria's gaze locked onto Alan's, "I think she broke my skin."
Alan's face darkened his eyes radiating with anger turned to Elena.
"Let's get a divorce."
