455-Got Played.
Lazlo’s POV:
“I cannot believe this,” I muttered grumpily, walking from one corner of the living room to the other.
“She packed her bags and left as if my feelings didn’t matter at all.” I was going crazy thinking she would be with him, doing what G*d knows.
I knew for a fact he would not contain his hands to himself and Enya, being too gullible and madly in love with Thiago, will let Theo f*ck her.
“Are you going to keep walking and talking to yourself the whole day?” I heard Valerie speak up, and it was only then that I realized she had been sitting on the couch and watching
me.
“I’m just stunned,” I sighed, finally dropping onto the couch. No matter what I did, I just couldn’t stop wondering what Theo would be doing with Enya.
“What makes you so confused? It isn’t like you didn’t cheat on her and hurt her all this time,” she put her leg over the other and deepened her stare into my face. I wanted to give back to her, but I held in the anger and only bit my tongue.
I was going through a lot already. Arguing with her was no longer an option.
“I just want to know what your intentions are for me,” she folded her arms over her chest and asked me.
I was just staring at her face and wondering where it all went
wrong.
Valerie meant a lot to me, but ever since Enya stopped showing any emotions toward me, I stopped looking at Valerie the way I used to look at her before. I truly thought maybe I was in love with her. But turned out that I was only trying to hurt Enya.
“Is it really going to take you hours to even answer me now?” she complained. I let out a sigh and shook my head at her.
“I don’t know anything, for now, Enya. My mind is blocked, and all I can think of is how Theo only did it to hurt my ego.” I was breathing like a bull at the mention of Theo’s name.
“So that’s why you are worried? Because you think it’s a hit on your ego?” Valerie asked through a clenched jaw. Her breathing had accelerated out of the blue.
To lie to her, I only nodded.
“Eh! So it’s not about Enya. Yet you are calling me the wrong name: her name!” She got up from the sofa and groaned out a complaint.
I was only then that I realized what I had done. I called her the wrong name.
“Ugh! Valerie! Can you please leave me alone for now? I’m being honest with you, my head to going to explode at any minute from now,” I excused, grabbing the phone from the table and walking out of the living room. I bet she stayed, thinking we could argue some more, but I didn’t have time for all that.
I ended up walking into my room with my phone in my hands.
‘Do you think we got fooled?’ Laz asked, after staying silent for so long.
‘I don’t know, but it seems like we did get scammed, and we are the only ones to blame for it.’ I was now in a state where I realized these two years of my life were a lie. I was used by someone to hurt Enya.
‘Confront her,’ Laz pushed, angry that she had lied so much to us about Enya’s name and survived the aftermath.
‘You are right. I’m not going to let her walk away from it without facing my wrath,’ I agreed with Laz and dialed her number.
“Hello!” she answered the call, sounding super snorty.
“I’m so happy you called. I’m miserable.” She let out a soft cry, making me roll my eyes at her.
“I want to know the truth from you.” I didn’t care what she was dealing with. Because the recent revelations had been told to me, she played me.
“What?” she played innocent.
“Christina! I said I want to know the truth,” I muttered as I closed my eyes and reminisced about the time when I called her my sister and she betrayed me.
“What truth? Do you think Theo is telling the truth? He is doing quite the opposite. He is twisting the truth,” she said
from the other side.
“I want to hear everything you have told me before. I want to hear you talk about Enya’s mother making a spell to make me accept her and later fall deeply into her love spell so that she can use me. Remember, you told me all that,” I said, feeling like a fool for believing her.
“I am still telling you it’s true. Enya is not what she pretends to be. Did you not see how she turned her back on you so easily? Did you not see her eyes and how careless she looked when you talked about accepting Valerie? She didn’t give a f*ck,” as Christina mentioned that day, and my body twitched.
“That’s not true. She was worried, she just refused to show it,” I snapped at her for saying Enya didn’t care about me.
I understand she stopped showing emotions, but that doesn’t mean anything that made her feel insecure when it came to
me.
“Snap out of your dream world, Lazlo. She doesn’t give a d*mn about you. She has walked out of your mansion and is happy with Theo.” Her words stung me like a deadly bee.
“And you think I am not the reason she stopped showing care?” I finally admitted, “It was me who drove her to the point that she finally walked away from me. She did what anybody who is treated so wrong would do,” I yelled at Christina, admitting my mistakes, but the scoff from her made me even
angry.
“Did you push her to sleep with Maynard? Did you make her drink?” my head was spinning as I was finally waking up now.
“What? No! I didn’t do anything. She wanted to sleep with Maynard, so she seduced him—,” as she continued to accuse
Enya, I heard Maynard join her.
“What the f*ck are you doing, Christina?” He yelled, and she gasped; her call was cut off. I realized I had been fooled, or else she would have said it out loudly without fear of what Maynard would say.
