- The very next day, Alex with an arm locked around my waist entered my parent‘ s mansion to attend Jessica’s homecoming party. My body stiffened upon seeing familiar faces of his friends who mocked me openly as Alex kissed me.
- “You must get along with everyone Elena, don’t disappoint me.” Alex warned while kissing my forehead as he saw Jessica coming towards us.
- “Sister!”
- Jessica stood across from me, her off- shoulder red dress making her look like a beautiful fairy in contrast with my plain self as she held my hands, yet her eyes. strayed towards Alex, following all his
- moves.
- “Do you hate me Elena? We are sisters but you never called me once after leaving home all these years.” Jessica sniffled with

- I opened my mouth to reply yet no words. left.
- “Elena does not know how to properly handle relationships yet, when I have time. I will bring her around to meet your parents and apologize properly.”
- Despite knowing the abuse and ignorance I have gone through in the past, Alex answered on my behalf like he was ashamed of my improper behaviour making my heart sink with anguish.

- the restroom stretched before me.
- “Well, if it isn’t my poor sister.” Jessica’s voice called out mockingly from behind
- me.
- Her heels clacked against the marble tiles as she approached me with a smirk, the glass of red wine swirling in her manicured hands while she scanned my dress from top to bottom with a smirk.
- “If I didn’t know better, I would have assumed that it was your grandma‘ s dress.” My fists clenched when Jessica mentioned my grandmother, a kind old lady who had adopted me and raised me before my biological parents found her address and forced me to return.
- “After throwing a tantrum and leaving home, how does it feel to work as a petty waitress in some rotten old bar?” Her lips curled into a sneer. “Your old granny is in the hospital right? To think she exhausted all her resources in raising an ingrate like you who even left her biological parents.”

- “Shutup!” I screamed, trembling in horror.
- Working without sleeping for days in an utterly desolate condition, I earned money to look after my grandma, the details of which I had only shared with one person, my husband- Alex.
- And yet he told my adopted sister who took everything from me all my darkest secrets.
- The pain when my own biological father looked at me in disappointment, my biological mother‘ s ignorance and even the abusive insults that the two elder brothers hurled at me could not be compared to the agony I felt at this
- moment.
- Alex gave her perfect weapons to hurt me.
- “You unlucky wench? Why didn’t you die all those years ago, why did you return to take my place?” Jessica sneered.
- “Stop it Jessica, you already have everything you want, just leave me alone!”

- I glared at her to which she laughed heartily.
- “Everything? You snatched Alex and you dare say I have everything?
- Alex and I were always meant to be, how dare a nobody like you even think of keeping him around Elena, you are just a slut to warm his bed while I was absent.The kind whom he could have bought after throwing some money.
- I will have my man back soon.”
- “Jessica!” I glared at her with teary eyes as she cornered me with a smirk.
- “Tonight he will come to my place.” She dropped the wine glass making it splatter on the floor.
- “Tonight he will embrace me, kiss me and love me, just like he always does.” My eyes widened with shock.
- “What, are you surprised?” She tilted her head slightly looking down on me.“Alex is

- always on a trip on the day of your wedding anniversary right?”
- My stomach dropped. How did she know…
- “All those trips were spent in your honeymoon suite in Paris, just that the person sharing his bed wasn‘ t you.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “It was me.”
- “Last year that pink satin dress he brought you as a belated anniversary gift, do you know who wore it before you Elena? She leaned in with a satisfactory smile. “I made. sure to let your husband enjoy my body in that all night before wrapping it up for you.”
- Bile rose my throat as I barely stood upright in absolute shock.
- “That night he was a beast in heat. Sister, it was so damn hot as he grabbed my hair and made me do wild things..god. He said you were too much of a prude to try such stuff…too vanilla for his liking, that you could never satiate his desire.” She

- laughed. “On the other hand I fulfilled all his fantasies.”
- The memory of that beautiful satin dress was now a horrible nightmare – how Alex had made love to me in that same dress in which he had raw sex with Jessica. How he kissed me lovingly when he lied to me that he never saw someone prettier, everything played like a reel in my mind.
- I remembered cooking for Alex in that dress as he embraced me gently from behind humming a sweet melody as he raised my chin to kiss me.
- ‘You are my one true love, Elena.‘ Those were my husband‘ s sweet words when he was openly cheating on me.
