Chapter 123: Karma is a bitch
As soon as the words left my lips, everyone in the crowd that was watching us collectively sucked in a gasp of air through their teeth at my sudden revelation. Their eyes that were once filled with excitement and anticipation were now filled with shock as their eyes darted around, casting judgemental glares at Stella and murmurs began to fill the air.
"What...?" Blake muttered under his breath as a frown crept onto his face to rest between his brows, a puzzled expression was stretched across his face.
I watched with a satisfied smile plastered across my face as Stella’s face turned a ghastly white and her mouth was left agape. I knew at that moment, her heart must have sunk to the pit of her stomach as she stared blankly in shock and was rendered speechless. Panic settled in and a flustered expression quickly masked her features as she tried to explain herself but only ended up stuttering.
"Blake... I... I... can explain," she said in a hurry as she desperately clung onto his arm and tried to get him to look into her eyes.
He let out a breath, a look of disbelief etched onto his face as they locked eyes. "You are cheating on me?" He questioned, his voice still laced with disbelief and denial before it was replaced with anger as realisation dawned upon him and it finally clicked inside his head. "So the Japan trip... You refused to send me any more pictures, is it because you were with that man?!" He yelled out loud this time, his voice shaking with rage and the words that left his lips were dripping with accusation. His icy blue eyes bored right into hers as he clenched his fists tightly beside him.
"I knew it..." he continued to mumble under his breath. "I knew you were acting strange but I didn’t want to question you, god, I’m so fucking stupid. I should have known!" He shouted, his loud voice echoing in the office lobby as his voice cracked towards the end of the sentence, betrayal swirling in the depths of his cold blue eyes.
Her eyes widened but she quickly shook her head. "No, no. That’s not true at all, I didn’t cheat on you!" She continued to deny the whole time as she wrapped her fingers around his arm but he quickly pushed her hands off of him. "You cannot believe a word that woman says. You know she is out to get me and she wants to ruin our relationship, you have to believe me, Blake," she pleaded, her tone reeked of desperation but Blake barely spared her another glance.
I was watching with amusement and satisfaction twinkling in my eyes when she turned to glare at me, her eyes burning with a fiery blaze. "You!" She sneered with a disdainful scorn. Before I knew it, she was marching over towards me, throwing accusations and insults my way. "You slut! You are a liar! I did not cheat –"
I looked at her coldly and I slapped her right across her face before she could even finish her sentence. A loud and surprised gasp rose from the crowd once again.
