Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his Brother

ADRIANNA

"You know I love you right?" Raymond said to me as he cupped my face with both hands.

I felt so happy to hear those words from him, those reassuring words before our wedding. Of course I knew he loved me, we had been together for two years and he had been the sweetest ever since.

"Are you sure Ray Ray?" I asked him, even though I already knew the answer to that question.

"Definitely" he responded to me with his reassuring smile that seemed to always take my burdens away.

I sighed as I turned to walk towards the direction of the mirror that was in my room. I stood before the mirror, admiring myself. I was dressed in a shiny yellow dress, embellished with beautiful rhinestones and nice black heels, that went so well with my dress. I had always hated the idea of wearing a white dress during your own wedding, so I opted to go for a shiny, beautiful yellow dress that was also my favourite colour.

The mirror before me, revealed a radiant soul, with a glow that shone from within, as I gazed lovingly at my reflection, lost in the depths of my own eyes. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Raymond walking towards me, with a light grin on his face.

"You look really gorgeous tonight babe, I can't wait to finally make you mine" he said to me, as he placed his right hand on my waist, spinning me around to face him.

I giggled at his words, wondering what I did to deserve the greatest man that ever lived.

Raymond and I met three years ago, at a small gathering led by my friends. Apparently, he had been invited by one of my friends and he had decided to actually attend. At first, I never paid him any attention, because I rarely liked to make new friends or liked to even talk to people. I had not even noticed he was there, until he walked up to me with two drinks in his hands.

"Hey, may I have a seat next to you?" he asked, as he looked at me and also looked at the empty chair beside me.

I was so close to letting him know that I was really not interested in talking to him, but I decided against it.

"Yea sure" I said, giving him a cold reply.

"Maybe if I give him a cold shoulder, he will eventually leave me alone" I thought inwardly.

"Here, I got this for you" he said to me as he stretched one of his hands that held a glass of wine.

"No, thank you". I replied immediately, still giving him the cold reply and avoiding every bit of conversation with him.

"And why is that?" he went further to ask, as he looked at me with a questioning gaze.

I was already getting fed up with the questions, but I decided to keep my cool and not overreact or walk away.

"only God knows what you have added to that drink" I said as I rolled my eyes, not even wanting to keep this conversation going, when I heard a laugh.

I looked at him with curious eyes, and he was laughing. I was beginning to question what was so funny, that was making him laugh. What was making him laugh? Did I say something funny, that I did not know about?.

At that moment, I stood up immediately and attempted to walk away from him, when I felt a hand grab me by my elbow, pulling me back. I gasped at the disrespect of this man.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked out of anger as I forcefully snatched my hand from his grasp.

I took a step back, my chest heaving with anger. "Don't you ever touch me again", I hissed, my voice low and menacing. I could feel my heart racing with adrenaline, my mind racing with the audacity of his actions.

"Whoa whoa whoa!, calm down!, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to get you all worked up, my apologies", he replied almost immediately as he dropped the glass of wine he was holding on the table.

"I am really sorry, please forgive my manners___"

"Adrianna", I responded as I immediately realized he was asking me about my name.

He smiled almost instantly, after I told him my name. "Alright Adrianna, My name's Raymond" he said, as he took a seat, urging me to do the same, as he pulled a chair for me.

I shot him a glance, rolled my eyes, and sat down in the chair he had offered, folding my arms across my chest.

Truth be told, now that I look at him, he didn't look bad. He had a very well defined chiseled jaw, bright and captivating brown eyes that looked so vibrant and alive. He had golden brown hair that was styled and gelled to perfection and gave him a very good fitting. He had to be around five foot nine, contradicting my little height of just five foot six.

"So, are you done staring?" he asked me a question, making me instantly blush and embarrassed. I had totally forgotten I was in my thoughts and was also staring at him. He kept looking at me, grinning from ear to ear as if I was some funny clown star, making a joke.

"It's okay" he said to me, giving me a reassuring smile, after he saw I was becoming more embarrassed and I had started using my hands to cover my face in shame.

Weirdly enough, I was actually feeling attracted to him already, his smile seemed to calm my raging soul and made it peaceful, his smile was so reassuring.

Raymond's soft touch brought me back to reality, I had not even noticed that I had zoned out for that long.

"Is everything alright baby? You looked so lost" he asked me, with a very worried look.

"oh yes I am fine love, I just remembered the first time we met and the little argument we had. It was one hell of an argument" I replied to him as I giggled, remembering the incident that happened over again.

He grinned as he cupped my face with his hands, giving me a kiss that seemed to take my breath away "Yea baby, I remember, it was a very eventful moment, now let's prepare to spend the rest of our lives together" he said as he released me from his grip and walked out of the room.

"See you at the wedding venue my future wife, or should I say my wife?" he voiced as he finally walked out of the room, and I could no longer see him.

My ears twitched at those particular words, I was sure my ears were red and hot at this very moment. I spun myself around leaping for joy as I anticipated the best moments of my life in a few hours.

ADRIANNA

My heart felt like it could stop working at any moment. The wedding was in thirty minutes, and it all still felt like a dream to me. All these didn't feel real. I began to suddenly feel suffocated, making it very hard for me to breathe. I took a very long deep breath and began to calm my nerves. I was so nervous. I was getting married to the man of my dreams and it all felt like I was dreaming. I was getting ready, adjusting my dress, when someone entered. I turned around, to look at the person and immediately let out a wide smile. My sister had come in to see me. She was looking very gorgeous, dressed in a wedding-like white dress, which I found quite weird but decided to ignore. She had her hair packed up in a beautiful and neat ponytail, that was adorned with different beautiful flowers. She walked up to me, with her arms wide open, embracing me in a lovely and comforting hug.

"Oh, I am so happy for you" she said to me as she let go of me after the hug. Her gentle hands massaged my elbows, easing my tension.

I looked at her with teary eyes, wondering how I had the best sister ever.

"No Adrianna, don't cry, you will ruin your make up" she voiced to me as she used the back of her palm to clean my tears, before it could damage my make up.

I giggled at her words, and nodded as she was right, I shouldn't allow my tears to destroy my beautiful make-up, it was a big day for me.

"Alright, come on out and make the best of your day" she said to me with a smile on her face, as she adjusted my dress.

She began to walk to the door, when she made a sudden stop and turned to me.

"Also I have a surprise for you, and it is going to leave you really mesmerized" she uttered as she turned towards the door and walked out.

I stood there, dumbfounded, wondering what the surprise might be. I raced to the door eager to ask her a particular question "When will I get this so-called surprise?"

"Your wedding night" she replied almost instantly, as I heard her echoes down the hallway.

The wedding was finally happening, I stood before the gigantic door, with a bouquet in my hand, adorned with beautiful white roses and other colourful flowers. My father was beside me, holding my sweaty palm, as he was to lead me down the aisle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rise. The bride is now making her entrance", this statement was announced by the master of ceremonies.

My moment was finally here, the door was pulled open and before me stood beautiful people of different caliber, my loved ones and a special person.

I stood at the entrance, took a deep breath, and began my walk down the aisle. The weight of my dress rustled softly with each step, and the gentle music filled my ears. I felt a mix of emotions; excitement, nervousness, and joy.

As I made my way towards the altar, I saw the smiling faces of my loved ones, their eyes shining with happiness. My gaze met Ray's and his loving smile calmed my nerves. I felt like I was floating on air, my heart full of love and gratitude.

The ceremony passed in a blur, but the words spoken and the vows exchanged are forever etched in my memory. And when the officiant pronounced us husband and wife, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and belonging.

As the reception unfolded, I couldn't help but feel like a princess. The music, the laughter, the love, it all swirled around me like a fairy tale. Raymond and I shared our first dance, swaying to the rhythm under the twinkling lights. By the time we were done with the whole event, It was already nighttime and people had began to leave to go back to their various homes. Despite it been very late, Raymond insisted on meeting with his groomsmen, stating that they had a little party to attend, right after the wedding, which I found very weird, but concluded that he had to have sometime with his friends. He kissed me, and waved me goodbye as he left, leaving me all alone with my thoughts.

I decided to take a little walk, to also thank every other person that was still around at the venue, when I heard a sound from my phone. I took out my phone and there was a very exciting message from my sister.

"meet me in your room in thirty minutes, for your wedding surprise" the message read, making me giggle. My ears twitched with excitement as I anticipated the gift I was to get from my sister.

"i hope it is something I have always wanted" I said, the eagerness in my voice.

I jogged to the cocktail lounge, my legs leaping for joy as they took me to the counter.

"one cocktail please" I signaled to the bartender as I settled down on one of the stools. After about ten minutes, the bartender served my drink and it tasted so nice. I kept on checking my phone for the time. Time seemed to be moving so slowly, contradicting my excitement.

"hmm, going early won't change anything much" I said as I got tired of waiting, standing up from the chair.

I made my way upstairs to my room, the sharp click of my heels on each step a steady beat. I had gotten close to my room, when I began to hear some weird noises. I could not quite pinpoint what the noise was about exactly, but I knew it was coming from my room. I began to walk slowly, thinking my sister was in bed with one of her numerous lovers. It was no surprise to me, as this was not the first time, so I didn't have any issues barging in since I knew my sister didn't care one bit. I held the handle to my door as I pushed it further, entering with speed in an attempt to surprise my sister.

"jasm__" the complete words never left my mouth, as the glass cup I was holding fell to the ground.

I stood frozen in the doorway, my heart shattering into a million pieces. My eyes were fixed on the unthinkable scene before me. My husband, my supposed soulmate, lying in my bed, wrapped in the hands of my own sister. The room spun around me as I felt my world crumbling.

A strangled cry escaped my lips as I stumbled backwards, my mind racing with disbelief. How could they? On our wedding night? In our bed? The pain was suffocating me making it hard to breathe.

I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. Tears streamed down my face as I doubled over, my body wracked with sobs. I couldn't bear to look at them, but I couldn't tear my eyes away either.

My sister's face was serene, her eyes closed in contentment, oblivious to my pain. My husband's gaze met mine, his eyes filled with shame and guilt. But my sister's peaceful expression only fueled my anger and hurt.

I collapsed to the floor, my body shaking uncontrollably as I wept. Our wedding vows, our promises, our love, were those all lies? My heart was shattered, my trust destroyed. I didn't know if I could ever pick up the pieces.

I sat by the door, my mind frozen and disgusted by the scene in front of me. I still could not believe that this was happening. My legs seemed to have given up, as they became so weak and lost the strength to stand on their own.

"why Raymond? I thought you loved me?" I said as streams of tears clouded my vision. "just why? Why would you do this on our wedding night? In my bed for that matter? wasn't it enough that you were sleeping with my own blood sister all this while? You had to do it on our wedding night?" I screamed at him, with all the strength in my lungs, my legs weak that I could not even stand up from the floor.

The pain I was feeling at the moment had to be the greatest pain I had ever encountered. If anyone had told me that the person I had given my world to would end up betraying me this much, I would never have believed it. Raymond sat down there on the bed, his face filled with guilt and shame but I felt pure hatred towards him at that instant.

"i gave you everything Raymond! My time, my emotions, even my dignity, and this is how you repay me back?" I voiced at him, as I looked at him with disdain.

"And you!" I turned to the wretched being I called a sister. "I gave you everything you have ever wanted, I took care of you, gave you everything you ever asked for and this is what you do to me?"

"Jasmine, I made you who you are today and this is how you repay me for everything I had done for you?" I asked her, disappointment laced in my tone.

I looked over at the two of them on my bed, still naked, cowering in shame.

I stumbled out of the room, my eyes blinded by tears. I couldn't bear to look at them anymore. I needed to escape, to get away from the pain and betrayal. I staggered through the hallway, my heels clicking on the marble floor.

I pushed through the doors and out into the cool night air, taking a deep breath to calm myself. But it didn't work. I could feel my heart racing, my mind reeling with thoughts of what I had just seen.

I spotted a neon sign down the street- "The Red Diamond Bar and Club". I didn't care where I went, as long as it was away from there. I started walking, my legs carrying me on autopilot.

ETHAN

The club was quite noisy tonight. I could see just a few people on the line waiting to get inside. I got close to the door and showed the guard my VIP card and he immediately let me in. I stepped into the club, and the loud music enveloped me like a living entity. The air was electric, thick with the smell of sweat and alcohol. Disco lights danced across the crowded room, casting a sinister light on the sea of faces. I squinted, my eyes adjusting slowly to the chaos.

The club was a maze of dark corners and flashing lights, with a bar that stretched like a surface along one wall. The crowd was a blur of motion, bodies moving and colliding with each other, dancing to the beat of the music. I looked around and everywhere looked lively, with people moving around, dancing, talking or just standing listening to the music. But there was something that stood out to me, or rather someone.

A woman was sitting by the counter, her presence disheartening. She looked vulnerable. I could not really see her face, because she was backing me, but I knew that from her body language, she was not happy.

I contemplated just walking up to her and asking her what was wrong, or for starters just saying hi, but i got a call from Ryan, who was my best friend. I glanced at my phone, looking at the caller ID, before placing the phone to my ear.

"Hey Ethan, I heard you didn't attend your brother's wedding. What happened?". I heard him say at the end of the phone, seeming a little confused and disappointed.

I had totally forgotten to tell him the reason I could not attend, as I was called in for an emergency at the company, to attend to a difficult situation.

"Oh about that, something came up. I had an emergency, I was called to come into the office immediately, to solve a little problem". I said to him, as I looked at the counter and I saw the woman attempting to get up and leave.

"And you couldn't call me? I would have gone in your place, so that you could attend your broth___" I could not hear him complete his sentence as I immediately hung up the phone. I was about to lose my chance to talk to her and I couldn't let that happen.

I made my way towards her, weaving past the drinkers and dancers. As I approached her, I subconsciously held her by her arm, stopping her from leaving the counter. She immediately turned to look at me, and I was left mesmerized. Her eyes, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen on earth, they were captivating. They were blue, like the ocean and bright like the sun. As I gazed into her eyes, I felt like I was drowning in a sea of sapphire. Her eyes sparkled like diamonds in the light, captivating me with their intensity. I was so lost in the colour of her eyes, until I heard her quiet sobs. I looked at her, and my heart was broken. I couldn't understand why she was crying. Was it me? Did I do something wrong? I could not quite understand what was wrong until I heard her say something.

"Raymond" she said as tears streamed down her eyes, damaging her beautiful make up.

I looked at her shocked, how did she know that name?

How did she know Raymond, my brother? It was then that I took full sight of her. She was dressed in a really really long gown that looked a little like a wedding dress. Although it was yellow. Her hair was packed in those wedding bride styles and it was then, that I noticed the wedding ring on one of her fingers.

The realization hit me, like a huge stone. This was my brother's newly wedded wife. But what was she doing here all alone crying, was what I was yet to figure out.

"Why did you have to do this to me? I loved you Raymond" she said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Do what?" I asked, my face contoured in confusion.

She seemed to have not heard me, as she walked back to the counter and tapped on it for the bartender's attention, asking him for shots of tequila.

Oh this was it, she was drunk. I walked up to her, taking the drink from her, after she had motioned for another one. I gently placed my hand over her shoulders, gently gripping it.

"Hey, maybe you've had enough for tonight", I suggested, my voice soft but firm.

She looked up to me, her eyes flashing with a mix of anger and desperation. "Mind your own business Raymond", she slurred, trying to pull my hand away.

But I held firm, my grip gentle but unyielding. "I'm making it my business", I said, my eyes locked on hers. "You're clearly drunk, and I don't want to see you hurt yourself further.

For a moment, we stood there, locked in a silent standoff. Then to my surprise, she nodded, her shoulders sagging in defeat. "You're right," she whispered. "I'm sorry".

My heart softened at her words, wondering what could have happened that made this woman this hurt.

I smiled at her, letting go of her shoulders. "No need to apologize, let's get you out of here, okay?"

I held her by her shoulders and waist, helping her walk as she seemed to stagger anytime I let her walk on her own. I signaled to the bartender, and he immediately gave me the keys to my VIP room. I took her up the stairs and into the room.

As I gently laid her on the bed, she let out a soft groan of satisfaction. I could see the tension in her body begin to release, her muscles relaxing into the plush mattress.

I couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of satisfaction myself at having been able to provide her with some comfort.

As I pulled the blankets up around her, I was not prepared for what happened next. Her eyes fluttered open, and she immediately let out a soft groan, pulling me on top of her, giving me a passionate kiss right after. My body instantly got stiff, as I was shocked with what just happened. Her lips were on mine, creating a fierce intensity. The kiss was sloppy, wet and unapologetic, a passionate explosion that left me breathless.

Her tongue darted into my mouth, sending shivers down my spine. I felt her hand grasp my face holding me in place as she deepened the kiss. I was taken aback by her sudden boldness, but I couldn't help but surrender to the moment. She let go of me, her eyes trailing over my body.

"I want you, Raymond" she said to me as she looked at me with those pretty blue eyes.

At that moment, I didn't care about the name she called, I just wanted her so bad. I cupped her face with my hands, giving her a passionate kiss. Our lips locking with each other, our tongues fighting and looking for who would submit in defeat. She seemed to have surrendered in defeat as she stopped to catch her breath. I trailed my lips down her neck, nibbling on her earlobes, while my hands roamed her perfectly shaped body. I let go of her as she moaned softly.

I watched her begin to undress herself, and I did the same, leaving just my pants. She looked so beautiful, her body perfectly sculpted. I began to kiss her again,this time, my hands slowly going down to her private area.

I heard her gasp, as I gently touched her, my cock twitching in excitement.

She was wet and ready for me. I started teasing her with light touches and gentle caresses.

"Raymond..." she moaned, her hips grinding against my hand.

I groaned in pleasure, my cock threatening to burst out of my pants. I was going to give her what she wanted. Without warning, I drove my finger into her, hearing her gasp. I began to go harder and faster, her moans growing louder, filling the room.

Thankfully, the room was sound proof.

I looked up at her, our eyes locking with each other.

"Do you want me to stop?" I asked her, concerned.

"No, please continue," I immediately got a response from her. I could see her eyes full of lust and I just wanted to take every bit of her.

I took off the only thing, keeping me covered and my cock sprang forward, like a hungry wolf. I took in a deep breath, positioning my cock in front of her vagina and in one quick glance, I pushed it in, earning a soft moan from her.

She was so tight, I could feel her tightening around my cock and it was making me go crazy. I slid my cock out, and slammed it in again, earning another soft moan. I kept on going, her moans sounding like music to my ears. I knew I was close to my release, my cock twitching inside of her, so I picked up the pace, releasing after few thrusts. I pulled out of her, I could feel her body shaking from the pleasure.

I adjusted her into a better position on the bed, using the blanket to cover her up. She let out a quiet yawn, as her eyes began to close shut, drifting into sleep land.

I looked at her, her beautiful and pretty face. Immediately my smile faded, as I realized what I had just done.
