Sam's POV
"Sam wait up right now!" Justin's tone was deafening, threatening maybe. How was it that I still found myself falling for this man? Wasn't it clear already that he didn't love me? Or at the very least, he was confused.
"You're raising your voice like an uncivilized human. Everyone's looking." I made my tone stern.
He paused, then smiled to himself. "This is funny, you know? I want to reset everything right now. From the time you packed your things to leave, when you started to dare me."
"Okay, go on," I rolled my eyes.
"I'm giving you till tonight to move back. Otherwise, you've made an enemy with the Andersons." He threatened. "You're so stupid you dunno what's about to hit you. But I can save you,"
Anger filled me now as I continued to listen to his trash. I made it a mental note right that instant not to depend on any man again. I would ace my training and accept support from Danny, but won't depend on him. Or anyone else again.
"Go to hell, Justin." I was filled with immerse pleasure as I said that. Then as I strode off, I still felt how eyes boiling with rage, fixed on my back.
I was alone that evening...at some sort of bar. Normally, I was supposed to be with Nicholas. A lady dragged the chair beside me, annoying me as the sound screeched in my ears.
"Can't you lift it up?" I was just irritated with everything!
The lady had sexy eyes and pouting lips, "can't you use an ear pod or something?"
"Ear pod? It's so easy to just lift up the...oh who am I kidding." I got up angrily. I'd been here for some minutes already anyway.
"You are way due for a haircut." She said out of the blue. "Lucky for me, I'm a fashionista. But I'm not for free."
"You or your service?"
"It can come with both, depending on how careful you make your request." She winked, licking her lips like she'd just seen a full Christmas feast for dinner.
"If you think I'm interested in you, sorry to burst your bubbles. I like men," somehow, I didn't feel the need to flare up again that I went back to sit down.
"Jokes on you, I sleep with any creature that has a tail in front."
I shook my head. "Now that's just disgusting, and sad."
A smile spread on her face, "Yea well, story of my life." She raised her voice so the bartender could hear. "Give this beautiful lady anything she wants."
Then quickly, she added, "as long as it's not more than twenty bucks.
"Wow, very rich of you. You must be a billionaire, no need to flaunt." I commended and this raised a chuckle from her. Now, we were both laughing.
"I'm sorry I bragged so much..what do I gotta do about this big mouth of mine haha!"
We sat down for a while and just talked, chatting on the most random thing ever. Then walked in an annoying face I never thought I'd see for a long time.
She sighted me and smiled, advancing towards me. The lady, Tania, caught a glimpse of my face and noticed the eye roll I gave.
"You know this red haired lizard coming towards us?" Asked Tania.
"Yea..she's my ex husband's sister." It felt a bit strange that I was calling Justin my ex husband already.
"I heard you just couldn't leave my brother alone. You even forced your way into his training again!" Bella said, flashing me a murderous glare.
"Are we going to talk about the reddy already?" Tania said, then smiled."Hey, that kinda rhymed."
"And who is this emotional support pet of yours supposed to be?" Bella eyed with disdain.
"Hey!" Snapped Tania.
"That's enough. You should walk away now Bella, while I'm being nice." I said as a warning. Although I had no idea what I would do next.
Bella threw her head back and laughed. "What could you possibly do?"
Then it dawned on me. Bella had a secret lover that she loved so dearly, but her parents must never find out because he's the Anderson's greatest enemy. However, I did know of her secret.
I picked up my phone with a proud smile on my face, then dug out a picture that was in my hidden folder. Sharing the screen with her, she gasped as she found an image of her kissing Mr Taylor, her father's arch enemy.
"At least I'm not here sleeping with a man that's twice my age, and also a man hated by my father." I said and instantly, she tried to snatch the phone from my hand but my grip was firm on it.
I felt my adrenaline rushing. Why have I been scared of these family? All of them had secrets that they'd carelessly revealed to me while I was married to Justin, and they think they can still treat me like this?
"Oh dear, I still love this phone. Although, you might try to destroy it but I've got a copy somewhere else. Ask Tania over here for proof." I nudged at her and Tania grin was out of this world, even though she didn't know what I was saying.
"How dare you! This is...you're lying. No one would believe you." Bella spat out.
My smile deepened. "Wanna try?"
