A Jackpot Wedding

I was over excited today. I was returning to my home town on Christmas Eve after two years just to give a surprise to my fiance, Jayden. I thought it was the time when we should take our relationship forward and settle down. Even my younger sister was getting married soon. So, I resigned from the company I was working for and decided to come back. One of my dreams was building my own family with Jayden. He had called me a day before and told me that he wanted to talk about something important with me when I go back to the city. I wondered if he was planning to propose to me for marriage. I couldn't help blushing thinking about it.

Thinking about all this, I was overwhelmed and planned to return home two days earlier just to surprise him. After landing, I took a cab to his apartment instead of visiting my own home. While carrying gift bags in my right hand and flowers in the other, I entered his apartment. The hall was filled with darkness. I switched on the lights and moved towards his room. The strange voice coming from his room startled me. I heard the voice of a woman, moaning and grunting in pleasure.

‘Is there a woman in Jayden's room?’

An absurd thought crossed my mind but I dismissed it instantly. How could my Jayden betray me? He was not like those kinds of men. I forced a smile on my lips and moved forward, thinking he must be watching some weird movies.

After reaching his room, I pushed open the door and yelled, “Surprise…”

However, my mouth hung open in shock as I saw him clinging with a woman in his bed, both naked.

“Claire, You-” he could not say anything more. My gaze fell on the woman laying under him. She was my younger sister, Belle. I felt ridiculously ashamed of seeing them that way. I didn't utter a word and walked out.

I waited for them in the hall. When they appeared, I asked Jayden, “Would you mind explaining to me?”

I was still hoping he would say I misunderstood him or it was not like I was taking them as. However, he said in a distant voice, “It is what it is, Claire. Your sister is more attractive than you. He knows how to please a man unlike you.”

“Did you hear him, sister? He doesn't want you. He likes me. It's time that you should back off now.” My sister, Belle, said while standing between me and Jayden.

I stared at them with a pair of red eyes. I suppressed my tears, not wanting to waste them on a person who didn't know how to be faithful to your lover. I just shot a cold glance over them and said in a stern voice, “Both of you will regret this one day and I’ll make sure that day comes soon.”

After spitting out these words, I came out of his apartment. My whole body was burning with anger. I was angry more than I was hurt. I wanted Karma to hit them hard. I was angry, not because I got ditched by my fiance but because I loved this person blindly. He didn't deserve the love I gave him. Now, I regret everything I did for him. He didn't deserve them at all.

I had just come out of his apartment and my phone rang. It was from home. I picked up the call. My mother’s voice sounded from the other end, “Claire, can you please come back home? It's very urgent.”
