My Sweet Seduction

Confrontation

MANY days passed. I kept myself busy at work and spending my time alone at my condo.

Sunday morning when Cindy came to visit me.

“Best friend!” she shouted at me before hugging me tightly. I just laughed at what she did.

“Margaux, Carrick is finally proposed to me!” She was in tears as she spoke.

“OMG! I am so happy for the both of you! “My tears welled up before I hugged her tightly.

“Margaux, we need to celebrate!” she said excitedly. Suddenly the smile faded from my lips as Lester entered my mind and the postponing of our wedding.

“Hey, bestie, are you okay?”

“Of course. I'm, okay, and I am happy for you, bestie, so let's celebrate! “ I said delightedly.

“Really? Are you really, okay?” She even held my hand, then raised an eyebrow at me.

“I want to celebrate your engagement with Carrick." I smiled.

We decided to go to the mall and watch movie. Cindy cried a lot for Popoy and Basha who's the leading character of the movie. Cindy has a soft heart and happy to be with. She never runs out of stories that made laugh so hard.

"The movie was great!” I commended while entering the shopping mall to buy some dress and bags.

Cindy treat me to have dinner at the famous restaurant. So, I ordered a lot of expensive food. I do not know why it seems like I want to pour all my frustrations in life to the foods. Maybe this is just my stress reliever.

Our usual happy dinner was aroused when I noticed a couple entering the restaurant entrance. My lips quivered at them as they sat at a table in the corner.

My eyes warmed at what I witnessed. I also couldn't help but to stand up, which surprised Cindy.

“Oh, bestie, are you done? You only eat a little, huh?”

But I didn't answer. My eyes focused at the two couple who seems having a sweet conversation.

“My God!” Cindy exclaimed as she turned her gaze to them.

“Margaux, what are you trying to do?” a warning voice of Cindy stopped me.

But, eventually I saw myself stepping closer to the pair. Lester immediately lost his color when he saw my forthcoming. He also immediately moved away a little from the woman next to him who frowned at me.

“Miss, is there a problem?” The woman raised an eyebrow at me.

“To you, nothing, but to his, great!” I said bluntly and looked at them with angry eyes.

“Margaux, calm down.” I felt Cindy's hand over my shoulder as she leaned close to me.

“Please, Margaux, don't make a scene here,” Lester said in a low tone.

“Let's talk,” I said. I walked out of the restaurant but before I could do that, I fire them a sarcastic look.

“Margaux!” Lester restrained my arm when he reached me in the parking space.

“Is she?!” I asked. “Is she the one you replaced me with?” I asked angrily.

He just bent down and said nothing.

“So, it's true? You b×stard” I shouted and slapped him hard on his face.

“I am really sorry,” he said softly, holding my hand which I immediately shortened.

“Can your apology makes any difference? I don't think so,” I told him boldly and decided to step back into the restaurant.

“She's pregnant!” He revealed.

His words exploded like a bomb in my ear. That made me stop on my track and could not move.

“She's carrying my son.” he added.

I shut my eyes firmly. I feel like heaven and earth are covering me. Gradually a grain of tears fell on my cheek.

“I'm sorry, Margaux.” He took my hand again as he approached me. “I'm sorry if I dared to tell you.” His voice cracked. “She is the daughter of Mr. Mondragon - our family business partner. When her father found out what happened she wanted me to take responsibility for the child, otherwise they would cut off all connections we have with Mondragon Corp. ”

I smiled bitterly at him. “What should I say? She is carrying your child. ‘I am not so desperate to not understand what happened here. You are so good! Great ” I said before clapping my hands sarcastically.

“Babe, I'm sorry...”

“I said, no. It's okay! After all, we have nothing to do about it. We can't bring back the things that already broken!” I have a sarcastic stone at him.

I turned around and went back to the restaurant to pick up my bag and asked Cindy to get home.
