The Billionaire's Wife

Chapter 8

Cynthia walked towards me with her friends behind her. I just want to go buy some personal stuff but it seems like I am going to find some trouble again. Why the hell are they all over the place that I am at?

“What does someone like you doing in a place like this?” Cynthia asked looking at me from head to toe.

I didn't answer her. Answering her question will only cause trouble, whatever answer I give.

“Wait. Don't tell me that you are here because you wanted to buy something? Even though that some items here are not pricey at all, you still can't afford it.” She said laughing and her friends laugh with her.

I looked at them and laugh in my mind because I know that they are not her real friends at all. They are friends with her because of her money. Most people this day are being close to you when you have money and even families are like that. It's sad and cruel reality now.

“Infact, yes. I am buying some personal stuff here.” I said confident.

She laughed as if hearing a crazy joke. “Are those items yours? Are you going to buy it?” She asked, pointing at the undies and lingeries that I took to counter.

“Yes, it is and it's none of your business.” Turning around as I said it. “How much is it?” I asked the cashier.

“It's $2589.” The cashier said and my eyes went wide. That much?!

“Can't pay for it, huh?” Cynthia said and her minions laugh.

I sighed and handed my card to the cashier to pay for the items when Cynthia stopped her.

“You really think that she can pay for it? I mean, look at her. She's wearing ragged clothes.” The devil said to the lady.

The lady looked at me from head to toe and her expression changed from being polite to disgusted. I am not surprised by that because I know what will happen before even going here.

“Are you really going to buy this items?” The cashier asked in a sassy tone that I gritted my teeth.

“Yes, swipe my card and it will get through.” I said calmly.

“Oh my god. Don't brag that you can buy those things.” Cynthia said laughing.

This girl is really getting on my nerves. Why do I have to meet someone like her here? I just want to buy some stuff for myself.

“Can you please shut it, Cynthia? If you don't like my outfit then let me buy something better! At peace!” I snapped at her.

She looked like she was at shock so I turned my attention to the cashier. “Swipe it and it will get through.” I said in a stern voice.

She swiped it and the items is paid so she put them all on a paper bag.

“Thank you for shopping here. Please come back again.” She said smiling seems like her attitude earlier has changed because I can afford this kind of items.

“Next time, don't give attitudes to people just because they look like they don't have money.” I said to the cashier and turned to Cynthia. “The world round. You won't know when you will be on top.” I told her with a little bit of threat.

I am not going to do anything to her or her family even Alexander wants me to tell him who would be against me and he will make them suffer. I am not like everyone who turned into snobbish just because they have money. Clarabelle is like this since then and will be like this till the end.

“Wait a minute, you bitch.” I heard Cynthia and pulled me.

SLAAAP!

She slapped me hard on my face that I bet it turned red. “Did you just slap me on my cheeks?” I am holding my cheeks because it hurts.

“Oh yes, I did and I will do it again.” She said.

SLAAAP!

She slapped me again on my other cheeks while smiling mischievous. I really hate this girl infront of me.

“This world may be round but I will always be on top of you whatever happens.” She said smirking.

She was about to slap me again when a hand stopped her, holding her wrist on mid air.

“What the hell do you think you are doing?” It's Jonathan.

“Well, this girl is rubbish! She is threatening me!” Cynthia asked all hurt.

She's trying to make it look like I am the one who did something bad to her. Cynthia has been always like this, trying to be the victim even when she's the one who did something bad to a person.

“I saw what happened. You run after her and slapped her!” Jonathan said and a hint of anger is noticeable. “Who the hell are you to do that?!” Jonathan asked in a gritted teeth and I hope that he won't punch her.

“I am Cynthia Buenavista, the daughter of Julio Buenavista. The owner of Buenavista Enterprise.” She said proudly. “How about you? Who the hell are you?” She asked in a smirk.

“You will see.” Jonathan started to dial on his phone and talked to someone but I didn't hear it clearly.

Cynthia just laughed at Jonathan's face. “This guy is just a bum pretending to be rich like our Clarabelle here.” They left laughing.

Jonathan just looked at me and I give him a ‘I don't wanna talk about it' look so he just took the paper bags with the victoria's Secret undies inside it.

We got home at the mansion at four o'clock that when I remember that I forgot something to buy at the mall.

“Sh!t! I forgot to buy a dress for out dinner tonight.” I said all of a sudden when hitting my forehead gently. I am so forgetful.

I went to my room and laid there. What am I going to wear for our dinner tonight? How can you be so forgetful Clarabelle. You should have prioritize it rather than those undies. That Cynthia incident got me so occupied that I forgot to buy a dress.

I scolding myself when I heard a knock on my door and I was too lazy to open or see who it was but maybe it's Alexander.

“Come in.” I said as I sat down.

“How are you feeling, Mrs Belcher?” It was Jonathan who is at the door.

“I'm okay, Jonathan. Thank you, by the way for saving my cheeks from a hard slap.” I said smiling.

“It's my job, Missus.” Jonathan said professionally. “I ordered my assistant to buy you a dress for tonight because it seems like you were preoccupied earlier to buy it. Please do tell me if which one do you like.” He said and called the maids holding the dress for me to see. “Forgive me but this are the only dresses that I bought.” He added.

Two maids entered the room and each of them are holding a dress. I am bashful at the thought that Jonathan needed to buy me a dress because I forgot to buy one.

“Don't worry, Missus Belcher. I don't mind and the money is from Mr. Alexander himself so you don't have to worry about me spending. ” He explained.

I sighed and stand up to examine the dresses that he bought. The first maid is holding a plain black dress with a backless but when I looked at the price it shocked me. Both of the dress is black, my favorite color.

The first dress is a black long dress that has super small sleeves and with a front like that, I know that my cleavage will be shown. I looked at the price tag because it is still attached to it and my eyes went wide at it. It cost thousands of dollars. I don't want to wear something that cost like that.

The second dress is a little bit plain than the first one. It's a backless dress and it's knee length. Thinking that it is more cheaper than the first one, I still checked the price tag because it seems that this people won't buy something low price and I was right! This dress is more expensive than than the first one! It cost seven thousands more!

I sighed. “I pick this dress.” Pointing at the first dress.

Jonathan nodded his head and the maid left the dress at my room. When they were gone I started to get ready for the dinner with my husband. I also realized that they already bought me some make up but not knowing what to do, I just watched some tutorials online before doing it. I don't want to look like a clown so I only put light make up on my face.

“You can do this, Clarabelle. Don't be coward. You need to be strong or else other people will only step on you.” I said to myself as I look at my reflection in the mirror.

I heard a knock on my room before the person enter. “We need to go, Missus Belcher.” Jonathan said.

I sighed and looked at myself in the reflection. You can do this, Clarabelle. Change for the better. For you and for your husband's sake.
