~(She Feels Betrayal)~


Scarlett's POV

I watched as David smiled and spoke along with his coworkers and friends. But of course my mind couldn't help but wonder off to Neil.

Where was he?
Was he okay?
Was he thinking about me?
Did he miss me?

Maybe I was just being a little to needy.

What was I even doing anyways, I wasn't even sure if my husband was cheating or not. I could just be the only one who secretly ruined my own marriage. That though unfortunately was just something I didn't bother to even find out.

I mean it would be pretty easy to pay someone to study his every move. Maybe I guess I just didn't want to find out even if he was or wasn't.

Even if he was it wasn't like I could just divorce him. My father would probably disown me if I did.

Why would my father ever understand how I feel anyways. Him and my mother never had a good relationship. He was always cheating and lying.

Apple doesn't fall to far from the tree I guess.

The deal David made had surprisingly went well this time, so here we were celebrating. He surprisingly has been home alot more since Neil left a month ago. He says he gave his assistant a long break, since he won't be in the office for a while.

A hand wrapped around my waist causing me to flinch. David kissed me on the cheek and whispered in my ear.

"Smile and be normal your embarrassing me."

My chest fell.

"You know you don't have to be such an asshole." I smiled to avoid attention.

"Maybe if you were a normal wife, I wouldn't have to be this way." He gave my forehead another kiss an left me to speak with someone.

I forgot to mention even though he's home more that doesn't change the fact that he still doesn't touch me.

He locks himself in his office an is still buried in his work. If my mind wasn't always thinking about Neil I'd probably be hurt.

Rolling my eyes I called over a waiter to give me a glass of wine. He came right away and gave me a glass.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"My pleasure," He winked and continued working.

"Well if it isn't my little sister, who seems to be a magnet for handsome men."

My sister pranced her self over, I'm surprised she wasn't judging my attire yet.

She might actually be nice now..

"Those shoes are hideous jesus christ where do you shop, at payless?"

Nope still a bitch...

"It's nice to see you too," I smiled taking another sip of my wine.

"Only reason I came is for David, he's been telling me to set you straight."

I nearly spit my drink in her face from how angry I got.

"Set me straight for what?" I beamed.

She grabbed my arm and pulled off to the side. "He thinks you might be having an affair."

There goes my chest again..

"What no, that's ridiculous how could he think that?"

She gave me a look of suspicion.

"Well, if you are or arent I'm not the one you will have to deal with." She smiled taking my wine glass out my hand.

We both then turned and looked at my father who had also been glancing at us. His presence was always so viciously strong, to be honest he scared the living shit out of me sometimes.

He excused himself from his conversation and made his was towards us.

I wasn't sure what to do, last time we spoke he threatened me. If he found out about my affair my some what normal life would be over for sure.

"Ladies, how are you this evening?" He smiled at my sister.

"Never been better, you look handsome as ever this evening daddy." She smiled.

"Thank you," He smiled.

He turned towards me and his smile instantly faded away.

"I'm need to speak with you."

Jeez what was his problem now? He looks even more pissed then he did when he last spoke to me.

"I'll leave you guys to it then," My sister smiled prancing her plastic little self off.

"What did I do now?" I sighed.

"You know sometimes I wonder where I went wrong with you." He bluntly spoke causing me to reheat with anger all over again.

"Excuse me?"

"Here you are at your husband's most important dinner party of his life. An yet you're in the corner getting drunk and being lazy."

"I'm not being lazy I'm-"

"Show a little bit of respect for your husband, without him you'd be nothing."

My eyes instantly filled up, it was one thing to hear this from my husband.

Now I have to hear it from my father as well?

"Do I make myself clear?" He asked.

I was basically choking on tears growing attention from guests.

"Yes..."

"Now clean yourself up and get it together. Then go and support your husband like a normal wife would." At that he walked off and I ran to the restroom.

Why does he hate me so much?

I grabbed some tissues and dried up my tears.

He's always been treating me like trash, but now it's getting worse.

"Scarlett?" My bestfriends voice eccoed and I suddenly felt a bit better.

"I'm fine,"

"Girl if you don't stop lying to me, we both know when you run off to the bathroom it's never fine."

I sighed.

"Do you think I should invest in a private investigator?"

"Well don't you want to be sure, I know this is stressing you out I can see it."

She grabbed some makeup out her bag to help fix what my tears ruined.

"I mean but what if he's not cheating, what then?"

"That's up for you to decide babe, but if it was me I would of divorced his ass a long time ago."

"It's not that easy," I sighed.

She put more concealer under my eyes.

"Two years without any sex is ridiculous, there can only be to reasons for it. Either he's cheating or that asshole is gay."

I chuckled and shook my head.

"Alright all better, now please no more crying I hate seeing you like this."

I pulled her in for a tight hug.

"I love you, you know that?"

"You better," She laughed hugging me back.

I made my way out and instantly looked for David, he had been with my father. Speaking with what looks to be my sister from behind.

What mainly confused me was the guy that had his arm around her waist.

Since when did she have a boyfriend?

I slowly made my way towards the group and my heart dropped.

This wasn't real, this couldn't be real.

"There she is, my queen." David smiled grabbing my waist to pull me close to him.

My eyes unfortunately didn't leave the sight in front of me. I could practically feel my heart breaking peice by peice.

"You've met Davids brother before right Scarlett?"

I couldn't speak for some reason my mouth wouldn't move. He couldn't even keep long eye contact with me.

"Scarlett!?" My father beamed.

He was here with my sister, holding her waist as if they were some kind of couple. Last time I seen him around her he looked like he wanted to vomit.

Nothing about this whole situation made sense to me. Since when we're these two men bestfriends?

I then was pulled out if my trance when I was rewarded with a slap to the face.

"I've had enough of your foolish ways tonight, how rude are you to not greet your brother in law!"

I kept my head low because the tears began to resurface all over again.

"That's not necessary Mr. she's probably just feeling under the weather." Neil spoke.

"I think she may of had to much to drink, do you want me to take you home sweetheart?" David insisted.

"Scarlett pick your head up, your embarrassing yourself." My idiot sister spoke.

I was slowly loosing my grip and I needed to get out of here.

"Excuse me," I replied walking off.

I must of slipped on something because I instantly fell backwards.

That is until familiar strong arms caught me in my tracks. He held me and brushed a strand of hair out of my face.

All eyes had been on us in suspicion.
