The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 14

But now she just couldn’t take it anymore, so She decided to excuse herself for the time being. Upon noticing Ciara’s reaction Laura felt that she had reached some sort of achievement thus grinned viciously.

‘huh! I guess it’s true then, doesn’t she know that she is nothing but rejects from her ex, why will Mr Jones even look at her.’ with that she polished the rest of her plan in her head.

Soon filming started and everyone was busy except for Ciara of course, who sat idly and watched on as people went about their work.

Seeing that everyone paid no attention to them Dexter took the opportunity to strike a conversation with Ciara.

“I didn’t know that you were this heartless and lacked self control” he then snorted at her.

Confused by what Dexter had just said, Ciara widened her eyes and asked.

“what do you even mean?”

“huh! Now she’s gonna pretend as if she is clueless.” he said it as if he was mocking Ciara for something .

“Don’t act all innocent with me, I saw you at Crowded a few days ago. Huh, the way you were so all over Liam Jones that night, you’d swear it was your first time seeing a man. You said you wanted to save yourself for our wedding night but instead gave yourself up the first chance you got. I was so naive to think that you were a decent woman with self worth. ” he then glared at her not trying to atleast hide the contempt and anger shinning from his eyes.

Although he was angry and felt betrayed, he had still hoped that Ciara would regret and beg him for forgiveness. But to his dismay Ciara’s response was far from that.

With an indifferent expression on her face she said.

“firstly Mr Dexter, I’m not the one who left you exactly two weeks from your wedding day without any explanation and had to deal with the guests telling them the wedding was canceled and had to answer all the questions coming from all those nosy aunties , now tell me who’s the heartless one huh?

She then cast a look at him, and just when he wanted to say something she stopped him with her hand raised up, signaling him to stop and then she continued.

” I’m not done, you say I threw myself at Liam the first chance I got? So what? Well let me tell you something mister. What I do with my life has nothing to do with you, you lost the right to question me the moment you sent that sms.” with that said, Ciara did not even wait to listen to what he had to say. So she immediately turned to leave and headed towards the restroom.

She went in and went about her business, when she was done, she exited the cubicle only to replace someone waiting for her. She was already used to her, so she wasn’t bothered by her presence. She could easily guess what Boity was there for, hence she pretended to not have seen her and went straight to the wash basin, washed then dried her hands. Just as she was turning to leave, her face was welcomed by a very hard slap.

It was so sudden and caught her off guard that she didn’t get a chance to react. It was her very first time being hit, no one has ever had the gut to do that, not even her own parents. Which explains the reason it took her so long to register the incident.

Holding her stinging red cheek that had been slapped, she asked.

“Hey what the f*#k is wrong you? What did you do that for?”

“Now that my friend is for seducing my boyfriend, you better take that as a warning. Next time it won’t just be your cheek.” with that she turned and took a few steps toward the exit.

On the other hand, Ciara was confused as hell, as to how she had managed to seduce Dexter when all she did was try her best to avoid any interactions with him. So she said to Boity in a low voice.

” well you should try telling that to your boyfriend”.

Boity immediately paused in her steps and said.

“Ciara don’t you get it?, Dex doesn’t want you, that’s why he chose to dump you just before he could get trapped by you. He doesn’t love you, get that in to your head”. With said Boity left the restroom.

Ciara was thinking about all the retorts she could have used to refute Boity but failed. Looking at the departing woman, Ciara was so infuriated by herself ‘why did she stand there and not say anything when Boity was throwing insults at her’ arhg she stomped her feet and also left.

As she walk out she noticed that people were staring at her in a weird kind of way, it was like they pitied her. It was likely that they overheard what happened in the rest room just now, so not wanting to talk about it she decided to leave the shooting site at once.

Seeing her red swollen cheek with five fingers printed on it, people at the site didn’t want to comment or take sides. They felt that since Boity was Dexter’s girlfriend they couldn’t afford to offend her, hence they pretended to have not seen a thing.

But unlike the rest at the filming site, Laura couldn’t and would never let her leave that easily especially when her plan was not fully put in place. She was just hoping that Liam could be there, to witness Ciara embarrassing herself. She wanted her to feel the exact same shame she felt the previous night at the party.
