Chapter 3 Drunk
"Irene, you went overboard. How could you hit her? Why did you become so violent?"
Perry turned his face abruptly to look at me. I could clearly see the anger and blame in his eyes.
My heart suddenly ached as if it was torn apart. I looked at Perry with a pale face. It was obvious that in his heart, I was not so important as Courtney.
But it was me who would marry him tomorrow. Still, he was having fun with another woman in our wedding home tonight. And the woman was even my best friend since college.
"Courtney, get out of here! This is my wedding home, get out!"
I rushed forward and tugged Courtney's arm crazily, trying to drive her out of my house.
"Enough! Irene, don't go overboard!"
Perry rushed over to push me to the ground and held Courtney tightly in his arms.
The pain I felt physically was far less than the heartache I felt. I stood up and looked at Perry with a sad smile. At that very moment, I know, my place in his heart was far less than a mistress.
"Perry, I hate you!"
I yelled those words to him hysterically, as if I had exhausted all my strength.
I ran out of the housing community and kept running wildly. Only exercise could make me forget the scene I just saw temporarily.
Nevertheless, the events that just happened kept replaying on my mind. The night before my wedding, my fiancé and my best friend were having sex and I found out that they even had a child together. I thought this kind of drama would only appear on TV, but it happened to me unexpectedly now.
After seven years of relationship, I initially thought that after the wedding, we could live happily together.
But what I saw tonight completely destroyed all my illusions. He was no longer the Perry who said that he loved me and wanted to be with me forever.
In the Bar.
The air was wafting with tobacco and alcohol. The music was turned on to the loudest, almost deafening, and a guy was dancing frantically on the dance floor. I sat at the corner and drank the strongest glass of alcohol, on the verge of losing control over my emotions.
The night before my wedding, I witnessed my fiancé and my best friend having sex on the bed. How sad and ridiculous it was!
For seven years, I have never suspected that they were together, because both of them were the people I trusted the most and was closest to.
But now they have betrayed me at the same time. I couldn't be more pathetic in this whole world!
My mind kept replaying the scenes when Courtney was naked and riding Perry ecstatically. Perry's satisfied look was really ridiculous and disgusting to see.
Then there was also Dennis. It turned out that he was Perry’s child! Not only they were together but they also had a child! I always thought that Courtney didn’t want to mention Dennis’s father because she was hurt, so I had been cautious and avoided the topic, but now I knew that what I did was pathetic.
Were they too good at covering up, or was I too stupid?
I haven't noticed it at all after so many years.
I was flustered and my mind was in a disarray. I gulped down the strong glass of alcohol. It burned my throat and I was choked from the burning sensation. Still, I felt numb inside and couldn't feel any joy at all.
