Chapter 80
-NAOMI
I am now in a state of shock, and I despise the fact that she is able to see that I am in that state. I am not sure why I freeze when I hear the words
that Veronic breatised out.
My relationship with Circean is completely insufficient, and the fact that he was in a relationship with this woman at one point in his life does not make him or me appear to him as anything
I can feel my jealousy crawling a
and swirling in me !
in me like a teen
a teenager.
I’m not actually in love with Circenn or fancy him like these ladies do, but yet I still can’t understand this jealousy trailing inside me.
I was always under the impression that Circenin had never done anything other than get down and settle with Kimberly, even going so far as to marry her. I had never thought there could be any other woman in the picture.
y research well.
Well I guess I didn’t do my
I don’t need any research.
He’s a man, and it’ll be weird if a man of his caliber doesn’t get that many women around him.
I don’t know if Veronic is lying or not but it doesn’t matter if she is
Because it shouldn’t bother me.
my brain suddenly switches to competitive mode and I grab a glass of wine.
But my
“So you were with Circenn?” I ask.
it her to.
She can hear the jealousy in my tone, and I deliberately want
She smiles at it.
“We were a short term quiet couple, a lot of people did not know about us, but yeah, we were once together and it was the best moment of our lives,” she shrugs.
Was that why she was boring into Circenn’s eyes like she wanted to rape him right then and there.
“Well I don’t know what Circenn was like when he was with you, not that I care, but I can drink wine whenever I want to dear” I smack my lips in
amusciment
She giggles.
An annoying one that tugs at my ears.
“Of course Circenn has changed, He was so coordinated when he was with me, he put his business first and didn’t let dirty rumors about him spread like this” Her eyes roam around my body like I am a hindrance.
I almost gag-
I finish the wine in my hand and reach for another glass.
I don’t care if I get drunk.
This bitch is being a bitch and trying to get me mad.
“I’m not trying to make you stormy tonight, I’m.
She says almost like she could read minds.
** Į smile.
“I’m anything but angry”
just saying
“And besides they’re just rumors. If you know Circenn well enough, you’ll know people saying those horrible things about him are just petty.” 1 beam, buishing my glass.
I grabanother glass of wine.
Chapter 80
“You’re drinking a lot,” She warns. “The alcohol in those wines are no joke”
“Ms. Veronic. I’m not a child. I know what i’m doing” I shake my head.
I don’t know where the hell the A in her name went to. But it feels weird calling her Veronic
“Of course you’re not,” she laughs.
And what exactly is so funny to this lady.
After my fifth glass of wine or so, I breathe out a sigh and say.
terrible to you being with Circenn
“But it must have been te
Her eyes flash with a brief, intense glare, but it quickly gives way to a softer, gentler expression, replacing the initial sternness with a more compassionate look so I don’t catch how she had glared at me
Too bad I already caught it!
“What do you mean?” Her voice is suddenly soft.
I shrug, just like she had done softly, minutes ago.
“I mean you said when you were with Circeon, he focused on his business and gave you less attention. That would have sucked”
I laugh, just like she had done.
Call me peuty. I am!
“Oh no, he totally gave me his full focus, like, completely zeroed in on our conversations. But, you know, he’s just a straight–up, no bullshit kind of man when it comes to business. He’s all about getting down to brass tacks and keeping it professional, no chit–chat or small talk needed. She beams.
1 laugh.
“That sounds terrible,” I add.
Oh my gosh, I’m being totally extra and melodramatic right now, and honestly, I’m feeling a little woozy from all the drinks! The alcohol is finally kicking in, and I’m loving every minute of it.
Veronica without an A came to the wrong
wife
“What’s so funny? Veronic sounds irritated.
“Oh nothing” I swipe the air in front of my face. “It’s just pathetic. Because with me, Circenn doesn’t dare to put business first, it’s all about me and me and my kids, he’s not as businesslike as you think he is, he just didn’t like you that much to focus on you, so he fooled you into thinking he loves his business”
I roll my eyes at the end.
Veronic’s face flushes a deep crimson, her cheeks burning with indignation, and her jaw clenches so tightly it’s as if she’s grinding her teeth into dust, her anger at my words manifesting in a fierce, unyielding scowl.
Good. I got her right where I wanted
“Well you’ll never know what I mean, you were never in my shoes. Now Circenn has you to deal with and that slurry model bothering him with another child, of course he’ll forget his business for now with all this chaos surrounding him, he’ll be forced to focus on you, all of you” she tucks her red hair behind her ears.
This bitch.
“You just sound pathetic Veronica I scoff, not hiding my anger.
“It’s Veronic” she
corrects.
“I don’t know if it’s your parents or my mistake but anyway, It’s a unique and special connection that Circenn and I share, a bond that transcends the ordinary. When we’re together, he dedicates himself fully to me, his focus unwavering and his love shining bright. He prioritizes my happiness above all else, ensuring that my desires and needs are met with care and devotion.
des a space for me that’s free from the burdens of the world, a sanctuary where our love can flourish unbridled. No bullshit no alcohol crap
15 AM
Chapter 80
here and there” I smack my lips after babbling like a darn six year old.
This alcohol is seriously making my mouth wander.
Veronie sealis
“I don’t know, but you sound like a woman who lacks bedtime with her partner. That yapping of yours just proved it. Where our love can flourish unbridled, ” she mimics my tone and laughs.
I gasp.
“In case you don’t know w you silly goose” I press a daring smile. “In case you’re missing Circenn and his attention, I don’t mean to brag but we have sex all the time. If that’s the word you’re so scared to use. Circent and I fuck all the time”
I snarl, my tone as aggressive as my gaze.
Tam so drunk.
I know I’m talking and acting crazy but I want this lady off my shoulders.
Her gaze immediately goes sour as she stares at me and maybe something behind me, but I don’t stop talking
“Circenn and I are each other’s muse, one touch from each other and we’re already fucking. He drives me crazy and I was this close to initiating another sex scenario when we kissed minutes ago, but we’re at a stupid party with losers like you who remind people how you’ve slept with their husbands. I know my husband is a cookie everyone wants, but he’s for me, and I’m not supposed to share this, but we’re definitely fucking tonight” I scrunch my nose and beam at her.
I feel like I’ve won
I have.
Because she looks speechless and stupid
Take that Veronic
I reach for the wine, ready to raise a glass in triumph, prepared to numb my senses once more.
But,
just
as I’m about to savor the sweet taste of victory, a deep, familiar voice resonates behind me, sending a shiver down my spine. The clearing of his throat is like a rigid warning, a subtle announcement of his presence, and I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions as I turn to face the one who is behind me.
Shit.
*Circenn” I cough.
His eyes look shaken and his eyebrows are furrowed together looking at me in disbelief
“Shit. Did he hear all that?”
“I sure did.” Circenn nods.
“Shit: Did I just say that out loud?” My eyes widened
“You sure did” He nods again.
d in shock
“Ton going to leave you guys alone” Veronie says and I hear her heels clanking and fading away.
“Crap” I gulp
