My One And Only

“Josh?”

I voiced out his name and that made him turn back, so did the stranger lady and they both looked at me as if I was from Mars.

My action gained attention from the other people standing closer to Josh and us. That made me a little uncomfortable but it was too late to back out then anyway.

“Who is this?? Who are you??”

The woman asked when Josh did not say anything, not even a damn word, and just kept looking at me. I answered for him to her.

“I m his fiance.”

I told her the truth that he must have not informed her about. She looked a bit taken aback thinking I was joking but when she noticed how firm I stood to what I just told her, she looked in Josh’s way to get his confirmation.

“No… she is not babe. She was just somebody I had a fling with. ”

Josh’s reply flipped my whole world upside down. As I eyed him with what the hell he was even saying.

He was the one who wanted us to get married sooner than later. My time stopped when he kissed the woman in his arms right in front of me.

“… why??”

That was the only thing I could ask. A strand of tear leaked out of my eyes and it continued to flow nonstop listening to what he had to say about me the next moment.

“What do you mean why?? Your parents are dead and so the deal is off. Go home, Tinsley. I always knew you were a slut but I did not know, you would be a gold digger enough to try yourself get involved in a loveless marriage???”

Josh let out, which made other people looked at me in disgust, and the usual gossiping and murmuring sound about me being the chick who was a bitch kicked off.

“Now… I m doing a favor for you and I m freeing us both from this contract. ”

He sounded like someone very generous and good in moral values but both of us knew he was not good in either of those.

“No… no you are not doing a favor. You just ruined my entire life in just a flash of seconds, Josh. My whole life was revolved around you. How could you just call us off in the swift of your fingers??”

I could not help myself and let whatever I wanted to speak slip out of my mouth.

“Back off bitch. He said he does not feels anything about you so go home.”

The woman said and I could not stop myself the next moment as anger and exhaustion took my whole being and I landed a tight slap on her pretty cheek.

She fell down on the floor. I was shocked at my own action but before I could mouth sorry to her, I was slapped back and it was not just anyone who did it but my own fiance.

I lost my balance and stumbled backward when someone held me back, steading me by holding my shoulders.

“Stop with your fucking craziness. No wonder your own father did not believe you with his own business. So he signed it for me. ”

Josh’s next words broke me completely. My own father betrayed me for a lifetime.

I was willing enough to spend the rest of my life with a disgusting man whom he chose for me to give him an heir and him not for once thought about my future.

“Fuck you Josh and fuck my father. You guys used me.”

I said those words out very painfully. I was never good at arguing. I could not stop my sobs either. It was just too much to discover how my own father trusted a stranger rather than his own blood… his own daughter.

“So now you know and drop the act for god sake and get the fuck away from here. ”

That was all he said before moving my way and pulling my right hand up to his face and removed the ring off of me.

“Now… you can go. ”

With that said, he signaled the securities to escort me out and with everything that had happened so quickly, my mind was still trying to process what had just happened.

I stopped the guards from touching me and silently went out of there not before grabbing a full bottle of vodka from the bar and smashing all the glasses on the way.

It surely did not make me feel any better. I walked out from there before he humiliated me more.

Everything that took place in the evening broke me completely. I had nowhere to go, no place to live, wasted all my life serving for the men who backstabbed me in the end.

As I kept walking down the street, barefoot because I took off my heels as they were too much to walk on, I could not help but have disturbing thoughts in my head.

I was so hopeful thinking that this was my destiny… Josh was my destiny even if I liked it or not but everything took a u-turn on me.

Suddenly I had the urge of puking my guts out and so I fell down on the street and vomited everything that I had eaten out of my system. The alcohol had taken control of my body by then.

Suddenly when and how, but two pairs of hands from behind held my hair back as I emptied my stomach of anything.

“Are you alright??”

He asked as he started rubbing my back soothingly while I coughed badly. I was a mess by this time.

“Wat… water… water.”

I voiced out. I needed water because I was thirsty. And felt like I swallowed a gallon of sandy stuff.

“Wait here. I will go get water from my car.”

The man said and went right away. I was so wasted that I could not bother even mouthing a thank you to the stranger.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

When he returned, he handed me a bottle of unopened water and I gulped it down my throat right away.

When I was done, I finally looked up to see who he was and could not believe my eyes when I saw him in the moonlight… his face was not clearly visible due to the poor lighting but it felt like it was him….

…. and who knew maybe I was way too drunk.
