HIS 90 DAYS BRIDE - EPISODE 28 AND 29

*3 years ago.*

” You’re late ”
Ethan said, he was standing , facing out the window.

” I know. ” Betty dropped her bag. Feeling a bit whoopsy.

There was a small silence which descended on them. And it made her pretty uncomfortable. There’s something running through his mind, and she knows it.

” How have you been coping with the task I gave you?.. Tell me you’ve got pretty close. It’s been months and you know I don’t have all time to waste. ”

” He asked me to marry him. ” Betty replied.

Ethan scoffed, with a surprised look on his face, he turned towards Betty.

” Davis is such a fool” he laughed maliciously.

Betty rolled her eyes. There was seriously nothing funny about what she just told him.

” how can you find this funny Ethan?.. Davis asked me to marry him and I couldn’t help but feel guilty.. I’m wasting his time. Don’t you think it’ll be bad if he gets to know I toiled with his feelings all these while?”

” Let me make something clear to you Betty. You have no choice or say in this. I tell you what to do and you oblige. If Davis asked you to marry him. Then …. Say yes. ”

“What?..”
Betty couldn’t believe her ears.

” Marry him and get me what I want Betty. Your father’s life is at stake here. I thought you were doing all these to set him free. ?.. I want you to have it at the back of your mind that the day you fail me, puff… There’s a gun ready to drill a bullet into your father’s head. ”

Betty gasped,…
She twisted her fingers nervously. Feeling so scared.

” Don’t hurt him. I’ll continue with the task. ”

Ethan smirked,…

He’s always got a way to pull her back into his web.

” Good girl. ” He patted her cheeks. Causing Betty to flinch.

She knew this wasn’t right. Davis love her genuinely and she’s playing with his feelings. She feels bad for him too because deep down she loves the way Davis treat her, like a real woman. Unlike Ethan and other guys she’s met. They will never be like Davis.

” Take off your clothes. It’s been long I buried myself in between that thigh of yours. ”

Ethan’s words made her flinch back to reality.

” No. Please. Let’s not go through this again. I’m feeling so sick today.” She pleaded.

Ethan scoffed in disgust. ” You slu.t… ” he slapped her across the face. Making her hit the ground with a force.

” You prefer fvcking my brother!.. you never complain or get tired if he bangs you. I am still your boss. And RightNow you’ll take off your clothes .”

He swiftly pulled her up.
Betty had unshed tears etching her brow.

His blazing eyes bored into her skin. Slowly, she began to strip before him.

His eyes stuck greedily into her C cupped breasts and he grabbed it with his both hands.

” I can already feel my little man aching to have you. ” .he commented with a crook smile.

” Lay on the couch with your legs apart ”

He commanded.

Betty nods and did as she was told.

Ethan crunched down and buried his face in between her legs,… Feasting viciously on her Honeypot.

Betty couldn’t deny the pleasure she derived from this. A pleasure she couldn’t stop even if she wanted to.

But still , it didn’t change the bitter feeling she was feeling within her.

**

Davis tucked in his sleep shirt, ready for his work as always. He reached out for his wrist watch at the bed cabinet when he spotted Betty’s bracelet on it.

She must have left it behind.
His thought, as he took it.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea if I stop by to give her these.

Besides, her place was the same route he took to durec.

He smiled to himself , tucking the bracelet into his breast pocket.

Moment later.

He parked beside Betty’s apartment . The place was strangely queit but he ignored.

“Betty.”
He called, halting before her door.

There was no response.

“Betty?..”
He slightly pushed the door open , gaining entrance into the room.

He strode further into the sitting and his eyes caught with her dress, carelessly on the floor.

He picked it up and placed on the couch.

That was the same dress she wore before leaving his place.

Could it be she was sleeping?…

Maybe.

His thoughts led him towards her room ..
Pushing the door open,. ” Betty you ….

His voice hanged in the air the moment he saw her.

” Davis..”

Her guilt-stricken voice broke the deafening silence as she struggled to cover her naked body with the duvet.

Davis felt his eyes , too heavy for his head to hold.
Definitely, he wasn’t seeing well, was he?

The woman he loves,… In bed with
“Ethan?”

No. He couldn’t believe it.

” Davis. It’s not what you think,. Let me explain.”
She got up from the bed.

Davis shot his eyes at her…
Betty has never seen this side of him before. His eyes, they were different. It wasn’t his passionate eyes that held his undying love for her… It was so different.

Those eyes,..
It was broken, … Filled with bitterness… And Hurt.

” Thank you. ”

That was it.
That was all.
He threw her dress and bracelet to the bed before walking out.. well not after staring at his brother who has no shame or remorse in his eyes.

Betty crunched on the bed. .

She wasn’t supposed to feel this much hurt. But she was… Tears, slowing falling from her eyes.

” Don’t tell me you’re crying because of him?.. if you’re crying because our plans failed then it’s fair.. I’ll find another way to fix you back together then you can complete the task. ”

Ethan replied, pulling his legs freely into his pants.

“You have no shame.”

” What?”
Ethan scoffed, nonchalantly.

“You have no shame Ethan. ”
She repeated. Her voice bolder this time around.

” You’re sick” he replied her.

” Leave my house. ”

“What?..”
Ethan huffed?.. was Betty going out of her mind right now?

” You can’t ask me to leave,.. I’ll leave myself.”
He reminded her. The authority still in his voice.

” I said Get the fvck out!!!” She yelled in frustration.
Throwing the pillows at him

” This is the end of whatever we have in common. I’m no more part of your games!”
She fired at him.

” Then you must be really ready to risk your father’s life,…”
” He threatened.

” You won’t dare touch my father. ”

She wiped her face,.. getting up.

Ethan scoffed, . Not knowing where the hell Betty was getting her courage from.

” We’ll see. ” He shuffle.
Putting on his light shirt before walking out of the room.

” You’re a fvcking ass.hole!”

She yelled the moment he was out.
Couldn’t contain the tears that threatened to fall.

She fell on the ground,. Crying her eyes out.
She reached for her phone and tried
To reach Davis. As expected,.. he didn’t take any of her calls.

She sniffed hard..

****

Davis dragged his legs into his office.

No. No. No. No!.

He yelled.
Throwing the files and documents to the ground.
No! Not Betty and Ethan!

He covered his face in between his palms and cried.

Yes, he cried..

He loved her… She betrayed him.
.
How will he ever overcome this feeling?..

Why Ethan?

Betty fooled him all these while.
It hurts.

He collapsed on his chair… Whining in pain.

*

” Davis.”
Betty called…

Davis stopped. He was about entering his car when she came out from nowhere.

” What are you doing here?.. you have no shame showing your face to me.”

” I can explain.”
She swallowed hard.
Trying to beat the guilt in her heart. What would she tell him?.. that Ethan set this all up?.

” Explain what Betty?. That you’re involved with two brothers?..”

Davis couldn’t believe his own ears. What was there to explain?..

Nothing! Absolutely nothing. There was nothing she’d say that would relieve him from whatever he was feeling now.

” It was all Ethan. Please”

She had tears in her eyes.

” Now you want to blame Ethan. Well he didn’t force you to lie with him. You just proved the slut.ty part of you which I failed to see from the beginning.”

Her palm collided with his face.

She hit him again.

Then, burst into tears.

” He forced me. He planted me in your life… He planned everything. He used me to get to you. I’m sorry okay. I couldn’t say anything because he has my…

” Wait. What?”

Davis blinked hard.

” Did you just say…. Ethan made you get close to me?.. Ethan made you… Oh my fvcking god!”
He ran his fingers through his hair.

How much of a heart break can he take right now?.

” This was all a joke to you?… My feelings?.. what we shared?… Or you just faked your feelings for me too..”

Betty swallowed her tears.

She couldn’t reply him..

Davis scoffed, unbelievably.

This was seriously planned.

” I was nothing but a game in your hand?..”

This was it… He couldn’t hear any more.

He opened his car and got in.
Growing angrier every second.

” Davis.”..

” I’ll kill you if you mention my name again. ” He pointed his fingers at her.

Hatred burning in his eyes. Hatred for Ethan.

” I don’t want to ever see you again.”

He warned sternly, before driving out.

Betty stood outside.

The evening breeze was a torment to her skin.

Now she couldn’t deny what she was feeling.
Why she was feeling this hurt after doing this to Davis.

She love him. And hurting him this much …. Equally broke her feelings.

She had tears in her eyes as she walked down the road .. it was getting dark, yet, she wasn’t craving for the comfort of her home. She was shattered.

Beep.

Her phone rang out.

She ignored,.. it was a strange number. She didn’t feel like taking any calls. The only call she wanted was from Davis. If only he could return her missed calls. It would be better.

Beep.
Beep.
Beep.

Three more calls from same number. She finally decided to pick up.

” Betty.. you need to come… Dad.. He is dying please…”

” Rachel?”
It was her sister. Rachel was crying.

Their dad was dying. ” Rachel where are you,?..where’s dad,”

Her broken heart refreshed with panic.

Her dad was dying.

She hastened her steps…

****
Present 2;00am

Betty smoked hard. Remembering every detail this day held.
She was swallowed in greif and pain.

This same day, three years ago was the worst day of her life.

On this day last three years, she lost her father…. And Davis..

She lost her sanity.
She lost everything.

She scoffed.

The cigeratte and alcohol was making her really sober.

She stared through her window. Remembering that today was actually the day she lost everything.

” They’ll all pay. That family. They will.”
She consoled in a drunk state…

**** 2;30am ****

Davis stayed awake in the dark. He couldn’t find sleep.
He’d never forget this day.
This same day, changed everything

This same day last three year, he got to know about Betty’s coup with Ethan.. leaving him heartbroken

This same day last two years he got ,… He got a sickness which hes got no clue about.

While,..this same fvcking day last year,… One of his warehouse in New York,… Was set ablaze. Making him loose millions. Of dollars.. And plus, his dad was killed.

Wait…

Weird right?..

Everything happening in the space of just a year…

And today…. Happens to make it … another year. Again.

Does it mean,… Something bad is gonna happen again?..

Why did it take him so long to put this all together. ,?..

What was gonna happen next today?
His thoughts went blank as his eyes drifted to the sleeping Adriana on the bed.

Could it be?..
