Fedora saw the way Vicky was staring at that cup of wine. She could instantly tell what was going on in her mind but before Victoria could do anything, Fedora stopped her. “She isn’t worth it. I promise you.”
Vicky turned around and started to make her way towards the back door of the house.
Fedora followed her, trying to catch up with her. She bumped into Oscar holding two plates filled with some yummy barbecue.
Before he could say anything because of the way Victoria ignored him, Fedora blasted him with some stern words.
“Why try to ruin all that you have built? Christ Oscar, what the hell were you thinking?”
Oscar frowned, looking confused, but before he could ask what was going on, Fedora walked away.
Entering the house from the back door, Vicky went straight to the laundry room. She knew she had to avoid the living room because some of their guests were hanging around.
Her heart flipped when the door to the laundry room opened. She took a glance at the door and saw that it was Fedora. Vicky looked away, wiping tears off the corner of her eyes.
There was a chair in there, so Vee sat on it, trying so hard to compose herself.
Fedora approached her and crouched down to her eye level. She reached for Vicky’s shaky hands and both gave them a light squeeze.
Her heart broke as she saw a tear roll down Victoria’s cheek. “I don’t know why but I have always detested her. No exact reason but my guts have never gone well with her.”
“She humiliated me on several occasions just because the man she likes in the company had his eyes on me.”
“I made it known to Oscar to stay away from her. I made it known jokingly and sternly because I would never want us to quarrel over what could be tagged as jealousy or because of some other woman who isn’t worth it.”
“He would assure me that they are just my friends. According to him, She was his first friend in this country.”
“I approached that bitch. Clearly telling her to stay away from my man. And even if Oscar invited her here, I would have expected that she declined the invitation.”
“I clearly remember him telling me that there was nothing going on between the two of them. The fact that they almost fucked or who even knows if they did? God!!”
Fedora’s heart fell by what she was seeing and what she was hearing.
“Please stop crying. I don’t trust that woman and I don’t trust her words either.”
“I am so sorry that all of this is happening but one thing I assure you is that, if Oscar told you that nothing happened between them then nothing happened. I am not saying this because he is my brother. I am saying this because I know his personality. He had been through so much suffering to understand how valuable you are to him. He wouldn’t want to lose you by doing something silly with someone that isn’t worth it.”
Vee shook her head. “It doesn’t matter anymore. I knew all of these were too good to be true, me and Oscar, being very happy.”
“No. Don’t talk that way.”
“But it’s true!”
“It is not true. I know you are hurt and I want you to calm down. If you are not getting it, I will be more than happy to interpret for you.”
“That lady out there is nothing but a gold digger. She wants to steal your joy and I would like you not to give her the benefit of doubt.”
“It is obvious she is after your man. You were just too smart to detect that on time.”
“I try to distance myself away from people I feel uneasy with. That is what I have been doing about her. I can’t believe Oscar had the guts to want to fuck her.” She sniffled, trying her best to hold back tears.
“Vee. Please don’t dwell on that mentality.”
“But that is what she said. You were there, right? You heard all of it!” “You are letting that psycho get to your head.”
“What the hell did Oscar see in her? If she could say something so nasty to my face, imagine how she would have been mocking me at my back, telling people how my fiance almost fucked her!”
Fedora sighed, not knowing what to say anymore.
“How well do you trust Oscar?”
“We concluded on the guest list. He never mentioned her. In fact, no one from the office is here except my Boss’s kids and Kathie who is my very close friend.”
“You should talk it out with your fiance. In as much as Oscar is my brother and I wouldn’t want you both to be on bad terms, especially now that things are going really smoothly, I still feel you should let him know how you feel.”
“If you feel terrible about this, let him know that he fucked up. But I am really hoping that there is a reasonable explanation for this.”
“I know what she said hurt you and I am deeply sorry for any form of pain you are feeling. I honestly wish there was something I could do or say to take that pain away.”
“I am usually not this calm. I just didn’t want to create any scene because such would be indecent at a child’s party. But I give you my word that that bitch is not going to get away with what she has done.”
“Please don’t cry anymore. It’s not good for you as it’s not good for the babies too.”
Vicky nodded as Fedora wiped tears away from the corner of her eyes. Download The Billionaire’s Regret
Oscar stood still for a few seconds after his sister left. From Fedora’s reaction and statement, he knew she was mad at him. Recalling that she made reference to Bessie, he suddenly had an idea of what happened. He was torn between going after his sister and fiancee on one hand and Bessie on the other hand.
He placed the plates of barbeque he was holding on the nearest table to him and went after Bessie. He met her outside the gate, trying to call for a cab.
“What did you do?”
Bessie swallowed painfully at the tone of his voice.
“W…what do you mean?”
“Don’t you dare play dumb with me. What did you do there? What did you say to Fedora and my fiancee?”
Bessie began to feel very nervous about the way Oscar was glaring at her. All through the time she had known him, she had never seen him this way. He looked like someone who was ready to rip her head off if she didn’t say a thing.
“I was asked to leave.”
“Because you did what?”
“Victoria wasn’t comfortable with my presence. You know how she is and your sister was there to support her.”
“You are hiding something away from me.”
“No, no, of course not! Why would I?” She answered nervously. “I am really calm and I don’t want there to be any issues at your daughter’s party. That is why I am heading home.”
“I swear I am not going to take it likely with you if I find out you did something silly!”
“Wow! Your fiancee shooed me away and here you are doubting me. I am definitely taking my leave. My ride is almost here.”
Oscar said nothing, still staring at her in an unbelievable way. “You are going to allow her insecurity to affect our friendship?”
“Don’t you say that about Victoria! She is the number one woman in my life.”
“Yeah, I know that. Even the blind knows that. Then why the hell does she still feel threatened about my presence? She doesn’t want you to have any female friends? She wants you all to herself?”
“You said something, didn’t you?” Oscar stared at her accusingly, taking two steps closer to her.
“What? You don’t trust me too?”
“I have had a best friend who betrayed me so YES, I don’t trust anyone!”
“My intention with you has been pure! Nothing but genuine friendship. I promise you that I would stop at nothing to ruin you if I found out that you caused problems for me already!”
Realizing it made no sense to continue to converse with Bessie who he was very suspicious about, Oscar stormed out from her sight, in search of Fedora or Victoria. He saw them going in through the back door earlier so he went through that route, in search of them.
Finally deciding to check the laundry room after searching the whole house, Oscar opened the door and came face to face with his Sister and Fiancee.
Bro really has a habit of ruining his own happiness 😮💨😑
