Chapter 3: The other woman
"Brother, you won't answer that, right?" Priscoll smiled and went inside the house, while I came along with him.
"Well, Alex, your brother is a bit rude to begin with," I said, looking at Alex.
"Well, Miss Joanna Stevens, cease this madness," Priscoll said. "I thought you left and wouldn't come back."
"I didn't know we were going back to your house," I replied. "Alex brought me back to this junk you call a house. I'm leaving!!"
I turned to leave, but Alex dragged me back. "Did you know him?" he asked, and I nodded.
"He's the imbecile I told you about," I said, tears welling up in my eyes.
Alex looked at Priscoll, his face twisted in anger. "Priscoll, are you out of your mind? You hurt this girl and don't even want to marry her again? You had sex with her'' Alex said angrily
Alex gave Priscoll a hard blow across the face. "Alex, no! Please don't hit him again!" I begged.
Priscoll clutched his mouth, which was now bleeding.
"My beautiful face... No one touches my face!" He moan and wanted to hit Alex back, but he hesitated, his fist hovering in the Air.
"Joanna, go upstairs. I need to talk to him," Priscoll said sharply, and I was shocked. What did he want to say?
"Why?" I asked.
"Excuse us," he said rudely, and I went upstairs to his room. I couldn't believe him; it was so embarrassing to fight in front of a girl and a driver.
"Kelvin..." Alex looked at the driver.
"He can stay. I don't want Joanna to hear this."Priscoll said.
"What did you want to share with me that made you send her upstairs?" Alex asked.
"Alex, look... I know I wronged her, but she's so sweet. I've tasted up to nine girls, but she's the best of all."
"What makes her the best?" Alex asked, and Priscoll smiled.
"Her eyes, her lips, the way she talks, and the way she sways her hips when she walks." He smiles
"Are you in love with her?"
"No..."
"You'll never change, bro," Alex said, hitting his shoulder.
"I'll go and talk to her now. I'll come back with a surprise, your favorite wine."
"You've already told me the surprise, so go and come back, Priscoll," Alex smiled and sat on the couch.
Priscoll came upstairs to talk to me and found me lying on the bed. "Joanna, you'll catch a cold... I mean, get changed and wear one of my shirts."
"What did you tell him?" I asked, and he smiled and walked away.
He brought the wine, and Alex and his driver had fun without me. What a weirdo! I slept off after changing into his shirt.
When the rain stopped, Priscoll received a call from his company that his celebrity girlfriend had arrived at his company, and the masses were there. His assistant also told him to turn on the news.
"Seriously? Wendy? She's back from Japan. Oh my, I miss her."
"Who is Wendy?" I asked.
"My girlfriend. I will go and change. You can see her on the news - Wendy McJay."
"Wait... She's your girlfriend??"
"I gotta go," he said, went upstairs, and found me sleeping. He smiled and ignored me, rather wearing his suit and leaving.
I woke up to an empty room, feeling confused and disoriented, i went down stairs and I looked around, That's when I saw the TV on, and Wendy McJay's face was plastered all over the screen and priscoll was with her. I felt a pang of jealousy and confusion. Who was this woman, and why was Priscoll with me if he had a girlfriend? i wonder where Alex and his driver was, did they leave me all alone in this house, immedetly i said that, Alex walked in.
"Priscoll is on TV Alex" I said and he nodded.
Alex's expression turned serious. "Wendy McJay is Priscoll's celebrity girlfriend.
I felt a lump form in my throat. "So, he's cheating on her with me?"
Alex nodded. "I'm afraid so, Joanna. Priscoll doesn't exactly have a good track record with women."
I felt a wave of anger and hurt wash over me. How could Priscoll do this to me? To Wendy? I needed answers, and I needed them now.
priscoll came back home and I stormed out to leave, Priscoll's smile faltered, and he reached out to stop me. "Where are you off to in such a hurry?"
Alex intervened, his voice firm. "She's had enough of your games, Priscoll. She's going home."
Priscoll's eyes narrowed, but he stepped aside, his smile returning. "Very well, I'll escort her myself."
I spun around, my anger boiling over. "You think a fancy perfume and a charming smile can erase your lies? You promised me Something, Priscoll. I'll hold you to that. Tomorrow, we wed. And I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me."
With that, I pushed past him and strode out, leaving Priscoll's smirk to falter.
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Wedding tomorrow, huh? You've got everything in place?"
Priscoll nodded, still looking dazed. "Yeah... I'll send a designer gown to her place. Can't have her looking like a local bride."
The next day, I put on the exquisite wedding gown Priscoll had sent over, my heart heavy with resentment. I couldn't believe I was marrying a man who had so callously played me.
As I walked down the aisle, Priscoll's eyes met mine, and for a moment, I saw a flicker of uncertainty. But he quickly masked it with his signature charm.
The ceremony was a blur, and before I knew it, we were exchanging vows. I spoke mine through gritted teeth, my voice cold and detached.
As we sealed our union with a kiss, I felt a sense of trapdoor slamming shut behind me. I was now Mrs. Priscoll, bound to a man who didn't love me.
The reception was a lavish affair, with guests fawning over Priscoll's celebrity girlfriend, Wendy McJay. I played the role of dutiful wife, all the while seething with anger and hurt, Priscoll's attention was on wendy and wasn't on his wife.
"Priscoll look at me, why are you looking at wendy huh?" i asked and he shut me up with a kiss
"Just be happy ok? you are beautiful joanna, i can't wait"
"For what?" i asked
''Our special night'' He said and i was shock, i'm not gonna do that with him again, i haven't recovered from the one we did the other day.
''I'm not gonna let you do that to me again, not on my watch"
''I have wendy no need to worry ok?'' He grin and left me alone. My brother came to me and ask me where Priscoll went to, but i can't say anyting to him.
Priscoll was in the car with wendy, having fun with her.
"wendy, I've missed this you know, since you went to japan"
''Really?"
''I want more baby" He kissed her while she let out a moan
"Me too" She pull him close to herself. '' Priscoll don't S..Stop'' she moan loudly
Some minutes later, priscoll sighs, Completly out of the game.
''Wendy..We have had enough'' He move away from her and she keep pulling him closer.
"No..I still want you"
''Call me Tomorrow when you are free'' priscoll said and wore his suit while wendy help him fix his hair
"I will miss you"
''why? I'm not leaving forever, we are still meeting tomorrow'' he said and get off the car and get back to me, giving me that charming smile of his.
But little did Priscoll know, I had a plan. I will deal with him, he will pay.
