Chapter 73: THE WEDDING DRESS
Aubrey didn’t know where Arlo had gone. After he stormed out of the room and threatened Michael, he kicked him out of the house and told him to never come back. He shouldn’t have bothered with his business anymore.
And now, Arlo locked himself somewhere else inside this house, while Aubrey didn’t have the energy to find him.
She knelt down and started to cry as the realization hit her hard. She cried until she couldn’t anymore, and then when she stood up and looked at her own reflection in the mirror, she saw an ugly woman staring back at her.
"Arrghh!!!" Aubrey lost it. She started to punch the mirror with her bare hand.
Adrenaline rushed in her veins, and she could no longer feel the pain. She screamed and punched and screamed and punched again. She cried even harder. She yelled at her own reflection.
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! You know that you are better than her! You know that you have gotten what she had! But why are you being like this right now?! What is wrong with you?! What the hell is wrong with you?! Why are you being like this?! Why can’t you beat her up!? Why do you have to come back and ruin my life again!?"
Aubrey hated River more than anyone knew.
Ever since they were in school, people had always looked at her stepsister; though Aubrey was prettier than River, somehow whenever they compared her with her stepsister, they would always praise River.
There was something about her that could charm people around her, which was something that Aubrey didn’t have.
River would make friends easily if she wanted to, yet the path that she chose for her life did not allow her to be the center of attention.
That was why Aubrey used that opportunity to stand out more. Yet, right now, even though she was pregnant with Arlo’s baby and she got her fiancé, the fact that Arlo’s heart was still for River only upset her greatly.
