It was 10 p.m. at Dewberry Garden.
I opened the door and stepped into the house. When I flicked on the lights, the illumination from the crystal lights in the guest room reflected my silhouette on the French windows.
This house would be my marital home tomorrow. My fiancé, Justin Xenakis, was a department manager. Not only was he handsome, but he was also exceedingly attentive to me. Thus, I felt really blessed to be marrying a man who loved me so much.
According to tradition, we weren’t supposed to stay together the night before the wedding. Therefore, Justin was spending the night in our new house while I was staying over with my best friend, Natalie Xavier.
Before going to bed, I ran a check to ensure that I had everything needed tomorrow, only to realize that I had forgotten the wedding veil.
In order to give Justin a surprise, I returned to our new house discreetly without calling him beforehand.
At the thought that I’d be living happily ever after with him from tomorrow onward, my lips curved into a blissful smile.
I then changed into a pair of slippers. Just when I reached the living room, a woman’s moan of pleasure drifted out of the master bedroom.
All at once, my heart lurched. The master bedroom’s door was slightly ajar, and the woman’s seductive and enthralling voice came from within the room.
In a flash, a raging fire started blazing within me. My legs felt as though they were made of lead, but still, they involuntarily led the way.
As I stood at the door of the bedroom, the cries of ecstasy from within sounded increasingly clear, every single sound hitting me squarely in the chest.
The door creaked open with a slight push from me.
A pair of beige high heels were scattered haphazardly, and a myriad of feminine items littered the floor. Such a scene had my thoughts inevitably going into the gutter.
Justin’s voice was deep and strained.
“But what if… I mean, what if she suddenly comes over and catches us red-handed? What do you think she’ll do? Will she call off the wedding?”
Mabel looked at me tauntingly with a sneer playing on her lips.
“That’s a moot point since she won’t come over. Furthermore, so what if she knows? At most, we’ll call off the wedding. I didn’t plan on getting married so early anyway.”
Chuckling nonchalantly, Justin continued hammering into Mabel.
“So, why are you getting married if you’re reluctant to do so? You know, we won’t be able to meet so frequently after you’re married.”
