His queen

Six

I stood up when I heard the click. "He is back so fast?", I wondered as I looked towards the door. It's only been 5 minutes since he left.

"Hey babe, I was wondering if you...", my biggest enemy, the fakest b***h I've ever seen aka... Wait...I still don't know her name, came bustling into the room as if she owns it. My eyes twitched with anger when I remembered the scene from the office.

She gave me the fakest smile I've ever seen on someone when she spotted me. Even her voice is irritating my ears. Why bother smiling when you clearly don't like the person before you?

"Vanessa right?", she really has a death wish. She is calling my name wrong on purpose.

"It's Vasilissa", I gritted my teeth in anger. If she doesn't leave soon I sweat I'll kill her.

"oops my bad", she giggled. She must be thinking she is looking cute but let me tell you she is the ugliest person living on earth.

"Who are you?", I asked with my arms crossed. She looked at me with surprise.

"Where's my manner?", she muttered lowly, then gave me another fake smile, "I'm McKenna, Leo's girlfriend".

My blood boiled when said Leo's girlfriend. Her name seems a little familiar but I can't remember where I've heard it. She is pretty famous so I must have seen in some newspaper or social media.

"What are you doing in our room?", she asked me with a raised brow.

"Our room?", I asked for confirmation. She nodded.

"You didn't know? Leo asked me to move in this room with him", she said sweetly. I scoffed inside. He asked me to move in too. Does he want to show me how they f**k? Or does he wanted me to join them too?

I discreetly took a deep breath. I knew it was a bad idea to listen to him. Ever since he has returned he seems to be hell bent on hurting me.

"I remembered I have something to do. I'll be leaving now", I hastily made my way towards the door. My feeling is now all over the place. I need to think in solitude and made a plan to leave as soon as possible.

"I wanted to apologize", she suddenly spoke from behind. I turned around to face her.

"For what?", my voice is really thick due to all the emotions I'm currently feeling.

"I was the reason Leo didn't contact you often. When we started dating he doesn't want me to have a misunderstanding", she said.

So she was the important work he was always doing? I felt like crying. How can I be so stupid? I should have guessed it but I decided to believe him. Believe his every lie.

He said he is busy with work every time I called. And sometimes he didn't even pick up his phone.

"When did you two started dating?", I can't tell if she is just bluffing or telling me the truth. If she is telling the truth then I'll know. I remember the date he started ignoring my calls.

"4 years", my heart dropped. She is telling the truth. I nodded and turned around to leave but her voice stopped me once again.

"Also, Leo wanted to say this personally but he feels awkward so he asked me to tell you this", she stopped to gaze my reaction.

"Tell me what?", I may be hurting but I masked my emotion from her.

"I don't know how to start", she hesitated.

"Just tell me", I told her rudely.

"I'm afraid I'll hurt your feelings", she looked like she is feeling bad for me. Fake b***h.

"Stop pretending that you care about me and spit it out", I growled lowly at her.

"I don't care for you. I just hold sympathy for you", she just didn't say that.

"Sympathy? For me? Can I ask you why?", I really wanted to laugh. She feels sympathy for me? Does she think I'm dumb?

"Yeah, I feel sympathy for you. Leo told me he brought you from the streets. It must be hard for an orphan like you to live on the streets alone at such a young age", I almost believed she feels sorry for me before but now I know she is just mocking me.

"Are you finished?", I have better things to do than listening to her bullshit.

"Not yet", she said as she took a step towards me.

"Leo brought you home because he felt bad looking at you. He even raised you. He is a good man and he doesn't want to hurt your feelings. That's why I'm telling you this", she said and took another step towards me.

"As you're already an adult, Leo wants you to go on your own way. He may be good but he can't keep providing you for your whole life", she took another step towards my direction.

"It's not my place to say this but you should have a conscience too. You're taking advantage of his kindness", she took yet another step towards me. There are only a few steps gap left between us now.

"We are getting married soon", she said playing with the ring on her ring finger. Did he give that ring to her?

"And I want you gone before that. I know you have feelings for him and I don't want you to try stealing him. Girls like you are really desperate and do everything in their power to destroy others happiness", I clenched my fist from stopping myself from pouncing at her.

"Thank you for telling me this", I smiled brightly at her before turning around and leaving the room.

That jerk doesn't even have balls to directly say that on my face. What did he say again? He missed me all those years? Doesn't sleep properly without me in his arms? Bullshit.

Didn't he feel guilty lying to me so many times? A tear escaped my eyes. I shouldn't have believed him. It was all my fault. I should have left right after he brought me here. Instead, I chose to stay with him. Trust him.

I sniffled. My shoulders shook as I let the tears fall. All this time I thought he loves me. Like a fool, I keep telling me myself that he loves me too.

It was my fault, falling for him. Now that he wants me to leave, I'll leave. I don't have a single thing I own, it's all Leo's so I don't think I'll take anything with me.

There is nothing holding me back now. I'm leaving this place for good.
