Claimed By The Ruthless Mafia

My heart began to race with unease as she played a video for me to see.

The sight on the screen shattered my world. It was Alex, intimately kissing another woman, his possessive grip pulling her closer as if he couldn’t get enough of her. My head spun, and the ground beneath my feet felt unstable. Nausea churned in my stomach, and I had to fight the urge to empty my insides right then and there. I couldn’t bear to watch any more of that heart-wrenching video, so I averted my gaze, tears welling up in my eyes as I tried to comprehend what I had just witnessed.

Anger and hurt boiled inside me as I glared at the woman who had shown me that devastating video.

“What do you want from me? Why are you showing me this?” I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady despite the tremor in my hands.

Her expression turned deceptively innocent, but I could see the mockery in her eyes.

“I just want to alert you about your husband. You look like a very nice lady, and I am worried about you,” she said with a hint of insincerity.

I clenched my fists, determined not to let her see how deeply her actions had affected me.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself, and thank you for showing this video,” I replied, forcing a calm facade even as my heart was shattering into a million pieces.

Unable to bear the weight of the revelation, I abruptly stood up, leaving the restaurant without even looking back. Julia followed close behind, her voice filled with concern as she called out my name, urging me to stop.

“Sarah! What happened? Why did you run out? Who was that girl? What did you see in her phone? Tell me, what’s the matter?” she bombarded me with questions, but I couldn’t find the words to answer just yet.

My mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Just moments ago, I had been elated at the thought of becoming a mother, building a future with Alex, my supposed loving husband. But now, it felt like everything had crumbled around me. I knew about Alex’s questionable past before we got married, but I had believed that he had changed, that his feelings for me were genuine. Yet, that video shattered all my illusions.

Feeling like an utter fool for falling so easily for his charming facade, I cursed myself for being blind to the signs. His sweet words and gestures, all of it seemed like an act now, designed to manipulate me into falling for him. I felt like a pawn in his game, a means for him to satisfy his desires, leaving me broken and betrayed.

Amidst my turmoil, Julia held my hand, her touch grounding me in the moment. She turned me to face her, her caring eyes filled with empathy, waiting for me to open up about the pain that was tearing me apart inside.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I recounted the painful revelation to Julia.

“That girl in the restaurant, she showed me a video in which Alex cheated on me. I can’t believe this. I just found out I am pregnant, and I was looking forward to seeing my happy family growing, and now all my dreams shattered into pieces, just like that. What will I do?” I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and heartache. Feeling utterly lost and clueless about my future, I couldn’t bear the weight of the betrayal that had befallen me.

Overwhelmed by emotions, I slumped down on the floor, my knees giving in to the immense pain in my heart. I no longer cared that people were watching me in my pathetic condition. How could he do this to me? How could he do this to our baby? The love I once held for him now seemed like a distant memory, overshadowed by the searing hatred that consumed me. I hated him more than I ever thought I could love him, and the realization cut through me like a knife.

Wiping my cheeks and drying my eyes, I felt Julia’s warm hand enveloping mine, offering a steadying presence. Drawing strength from her support, I forced myself to stand up, albeit feeling weak and broken inside. With an air of determination, I began to walk towards my car, my steps heavy with the weight of the decisions I knew I had to make.

“Where are you going, Sarah?” Julia asked, concern etched on her face.

“I am going to finish what he has started,” I replied curtly, my voice void of any emotion. “With my trust shattered, every emotion in me also died because of his cheating. I can’t forgive him, not now, not ever. He hurt me beyond measure, and he has to face the consequences. I refuse to let him hurt me any further. I will put an end to everything with him,” I declared with a newfound resolve.

Sliding into my car, I started the ignition, the engine humming to life as I drove towards Alex’s office. The roads seemed endless, mirroring the turbulent thoughts swirling within me. I needed closure, even if it meant confronting the person who had broken my heart.

Upon reaching his workplace, I parked the car, my hands trembling with a mix of anger and sadness. Stepping out, I took a deep breath to steady myself, ready to face the man who had shattered my dreams and betrayed my love. The path ahead was uncertain, but I knew one thing for certain – I wouldn’t let him destroy me any further.
