He sighed, walking in and shutting the door behind him.
“I have searched everywhere for you guys!”
Fedora rose to her feet, approaching him. “You have sacrificed so much to give yourself a good future. Is this how you intend to run everything? With all the damages you’ve experienced, I don’t know why you have still not learned your lesson.” Dora lashed out at him.
Oscar frowned. “Can you just stop talking in parables and tell me what is going on? I am going crazy already!”
“Why in the hell would you invite that bitch to your daughter’s party?” Oscar frowned even more. “Who? Bessie?”
Fedora glared at her younger brother.
“She said that to you? She told you I invited her?”
“If you didn’t, then what the hell is she doing here?”
“I didn’t have the intention of inviting her. Vicky and I prepared the guest list and her name wasn’t there.”
“She called me about an hour ago saying that she was outside and would like to come in. Of course, She didn’t have a pass. I was surprised as to how she knew about Sophie’s party and most importantly, how she knew about Vee’s address. She even brought a gift for Sophie.”
“She challenged me by pretending to be angry with me for not inviting her. Then she said she heard about the party from a colleague at the office and that is why she was here.”
“I thought of her as a genuine friend and that’s why I allowed her in. I mean, she was here already, full of expectations, so I let her in. I had no idea she was going to cause any harm whatsoever.”
“I understand your genuine intention but you need to know that it is not everyone that comes knocking at your door that means well towards you. Some just come to destroy because of their jealousy.”
“Life is not just about you alone, Oscar. You have Victoria who is going to be your wife in a couple of weeks. Decisions are to be taken by you both. Not only that, you should always pay attention to her and her feelings.”
“That lady is nothing but an asshole. She honestly had no business here or any business in your life. She is not someone you can call a friend.”
“I know and I’m sorry. I spoke to her and she said Vicky demanded she take her leave without doing anything wrong but I have a feeling she was lying.”
Fedora sighed. “Please stay away from her for good. I will help coordinate things out there but don’t leave this room until Vicky forgives you.” She said, after which she took her leave.
Oscar sighed once the door was shut. Vee was still seated on the chair so he approached her. He crouched before her just like his sister did earlier.
She wasn’t crying anymore but she looked really sad.
Oscar placed his hand on hers, wanting to hold onto it but she shrugged his hand off immediately.
Oscar sighed internally, trying to hide his hurt.
“Babe.” He called out in a whisper.
“You told me there was nothing between you and her.”
“There is nothing. I swear to you. I thought she was a genuine friend but it turned out I have just been fooled again.”
“She said you guys almost fucked. You both would have fucked if she didn’t stop it.”
“That bitch!!!!” Oscar cursed, wishing he could get a hold of her right now.
“Tell me the truth, do you like her? Do you feel like fucking her every time you see her? Is that why you always take her side every time we talk about her?”
“Bessie and I never fucked. I never for once liked her and I never will.”
“The only woman I feel like fucking whenever I see her is you! The only mistake I made was considering her to be my friend when in reality, she wasn’t.”
“I told you that Bessie and I met long ago. We met when I still had ill thoughts about you. I saw you with two men in a day and I was really furious. I wanted revenge so bad that I didn’t think twice about doing things that would ease the pain I had in my heart.”
“The intention was to flirt with her for a few minutes and we stopped when the time was up. I never brought out my dick for her to see or unbuckled my pants so I wondered why she told you that we almost fuck. Did she tell you that I paid her for the few minutes service?”
“I love you so much, Vicky. I respect you as my wife and I respect your thoughts and opinions too.”
“The reason why I stayed mere friends with Bessie was not to spite you. I genuinely thought she was a good person and that she meant no harm.”
“As I said, I was bitter with revenge the day I met her. I wanted her to team up with me to bring you down but she politely declined saying that she could not do such a thing to you even if she doesn’t like you because you were involved with
Ashton.”
“Even when I was moving back to California after you rejected me, I told her to please keep an eye on you.”
“And when I came back to win you over, she encouraged me to fight for you and even gave me information as to your whereabouts. That’s why I got to your house just in time.”
“Then the night of your accident, She called to inform me that Kathie was worried about us.”
“All these pretentious acts didn’t make me suspect her as I should.”
“I only have eyes for you, babe. No other woman can take your place away from my heart. No matter how hard they try.”
“I honestly feel terrible for making you cry. I am deeply sorry she hurt you. I’ve cut all ties with her, and I promise to always take your judgment on people seriously.”
“Today is a special day in our lives and I don’t want it to be ruined. I can’t stand you being mad at me either. I am so sorry babe. Please forgive me.”
Oscar stared at Vicky with pleading eyes. She said nothing but stared back at him with a plain expression.
He went ahead to intertwine his hands with hers, hoping she wouldn’t push him away.
But his fear eventually came to pass when she once again shrugged his hand off hers. He was about to grab a hold of it again when she glared at him.
“Babe, please,”
“I can’t stand you being mad at me. You can hit me if you want, scold me if you want but please say something.”
Victoria still said nothing.
Oscar sighed, running his hand over his face, really wishing that he hadn’t given that bitch the opportunity to come in.
Oscar was still thinking of what to say to make her forgive him when he saw her rise to her feet. Oscar did the same too.
She had stopped crying, there were no stained tears on her cheek, but the sadness was very much visible on her face.
“Vee!” He stared at her with pleading eyes.
“Please say something.”
“What do you want me to say?”
“Anything. I want to know how you feel. You don’t have to hide your feelings away from me.”
“This is a lot to take in. I’m still traumatized by the nasty things that bitch said. Do I understand your side of the story? Maybe. Because I am trying to put myself in your shoes right now but that doesn’t change the fact that I am deeply hurt by what just happened and what I just heard.”
“How would I ever think of today and not remember that I was almost attacked by some insane person who has some sort of feelings for you?”
“Babe,” He was about to take steps closer to her when she stopped him.
“Don’t come near me!!!” She blurted out, taking two steps backward. Based on her experiences, She knew her body and mind were different operating entities. She knew she could lose her mind just by a touch from him and she wasn’t ready to let go yet.
“Please don’t.” His voice was filled with vulnerability and she could see the pain in his eyes. “I hate it when I am around you and not being able to come close to you, touch you, or have good conversations with you.”
“I promise you that I am not happy with myself for what happened. If I could turn back the hands of time, I wouldn’t have allowed her in. I’m sorry my actions hurt you a lot. I’m sorry for the discomfort I caused. If there is anything I can do just so you can forgive me, please let me know.”
