30| The arrest

It's been literally two days now since he got discharged from the hospital. He is officially back to his feet again, though he now uses a 'Quadruped (Quad) Cane' to walk. According to the doctors comment, he said he'll only be using the cane for a little while to help him regain balance again. His body is not that fit to walk alone without accompaniment.

More credit goes to his fiancée who took her time to come live with him for a while before her exams starts. He feels so lively after the hot sex he just finished again with the nurse at the hotel. His body has never came alive as it is now. He is so grateful for the day he met her. She drove him through and fro the universe in five rounds. Meanwhile, he lied to his fiancée that he was going to see Max for a morning tea meeting with some clients.

Come on. She is so young and stupid. She's not mature enough to process whatever thing is happening now. With her little knowledge, she knows no shit about real sex. In fact, thinking of sex with her right now makes him lose interest in the marriage. He doesn't think that marriage will last when he knows he has a bag of ecstasy in his life already.

If that nurse had come his way in place of his fiancée, he'd have married her sharply without wasting any more time. He doesn't know what he's still doing with that indian witch. No wonder, his sister doesn't like her. Now he can see some of Francesca's reasons.

Mrs. Hemsworth greeted him when she saw him entering the mansion. He answered with a wave of his hand as he heads for the stairs. He fixed his coat and hair when he got to the door. He opened and entered. His eyes hovering around the room. She was not there. The bed is very messy with the sheets squeezed up and some of the pillows on the floor.

His brows creased like he sense something fishing somehow. He turns to one side of the ground, men clothes littered everywhere. Those aren't his clothes. They are not his and why are her clothes on the floor too? Question roamed his head as he gently walks in.

He called her name once. There was no response. He called her twice. Still no response. He called her thrice. Absolute silent then he heard some noise coming from the bathroom area. The shower was running but it wasn't the water making the only sound. Something lewd was involved.

He is curious to know what it was, so he pushed the door open and what he saw before his eyes made him startle and angry. Another man giving his fiancée anal sex in the bathroom.

You know, he had only seen this type of betrayals in movies and heard of them in books but he has never believed one day that they might be real.

The man covered his groins and his face while she quickly grabbed the towel to cover her nakedness. "Justin, I can explain."

Explain? What is here to explain when he just caught you in the act, right handed?

The man zoomed out, passing Justin on his way. He grabbed his clothes and left in shame. Justin was fuming in anger that he was so in the mood of murdering something if not someone.

She screamed and ran out of the room when she saw him walking out of the walk-in closet with a loaded pistol. Today is the day she'll know that her fiancée is not an easygoing man.

"I'll kill you and kill myself." He managed to run out with the Quadruped (Quad) Cane.

...

Getting downstairs, she saw Adela and Ben chatting over something they just watched on TV.

"Aunt, your excellency, please help me." She ran down the stairs. The sound of a loud gunshot, made the bodyguards barge in.

They look and saw their young master with a gun. His eyes murderous. He took it up again and fired the ceiling another shot. His guards almost initiated but they stopped when he pointed the gun at them. Tristan just arrived with Francesca. He wanted to drop her off but he decided to say hi to the house too. Harry came in with Max who just finished in the office still wearing his business suit.

They were all stunned when they saw Justin looking like a mad dog with a pistol. Ben boldly leaned forward and shouted at him. "Have you lost your nut? What sort of madness is this?"

"Get out of my way, Dad." The anger coming out of his voice like a beast. He pointed the gun at his fiancée who was hiding behind his mother. "I just caught that bitch over there, fucking another man in my bathroom."

"What?" The entire house faced her and she hid her face in shame.

"So right now," He cracked the trigger, ready to pull. "I'ma blow off her brains and blow mine."

Jesus, no. Ben turn to his bodyguards, "Are you just standing there like cowards? Get that thing out of his hand, can't you see he has lost it?"

The men hover around him at once and quickly pulled the pistol from him. Still with no pistol or armed weapons, he decided to use his Quadruped (Quad) Cane on her but Harry quickly held his wrist.

"Let go, Harry." He warned. "Let go or else I'll have to push you out of my way."

"You need therapist, Justin." Harry challenge him.

"Therapist?" He yelled. "That witch standing right there cheated on me. What is my offense that she had to do such dirty thing to me?" Oh please shut up and stop acting like a saint now. You both cheated on each other and it's a tie. Simple!

Adela faced her, "Priyanka, is it true? Did you cheat on your fiancée?"

Of course she did. She has nothing to say obviously no excuse. She was caught in the act. She busted in tears, not knowing how to explain the situation.

"It's a very long story, Mrs. Chadwick. I wish I can explain."

"Explain what?" Francesca grabbed her hair from behind, causing her to scream in pain and struggle with her. "You cheap hog, I know you're no good match for my brother. You just wanted his money and body and when were done, you paid him with betrayal."

Tristan volunteer to stop the fight but his girlfriend won't let go. Adela was very disappointed in Priyanka. The girl she loved to be her own soon-to-be daughter in-law was a slutty woman. What a shame. What would they say to the media? What would they tell the people of this country? That the woman her son wanted to marry was a cheap prostitute? That is a very bad stain. She can't take this. No, she can't withstand it.

Adela walked away, feeling disgusted. Ben copied the situation. It was very difficult to handle. He looked at Priyanka struggling to get off Francesca's fight. He shook his head and walked same way his wife followed. He knew there was something not right with this woman. He knew it.

Few minutes after, Justin came down with her luggages. He threw them to the ground, some clothes flicking out of the box. "Get out of my life and out of this house. I don't want to ever see you again."

No, no, no. This can't be happening. Her relationship can't just end this way. No! She can't allow her biological parents win over her. They must think they've succeeded in destroying her relationship but she'll prove to them that they're wrong.

She knelt down, begging. "No, Justin. You can't do this to us. I still love you, you just have to understand that what happened….was an exchange for something."

"There is absolutely nothing to believe in you anymore, Priyanka." He yelled, eyes red in rage. "You lied to me that you're a virgin but I just caught you few minutes ago with another man in my bathroom. You're nothing but a piece of rotten tomato."

"Justin, please….." She turns to his friends, begging them to help her convey the situation but they stood there doing nothing. Who would want to save a pretender.

Ben walked in with his wife again. After his wife just told him something he couldn't withhold, he decide to share it with the others. "Ah! I knew you're no match for my son. Mermaid." He scoffed.

Priyanka stopped tearing up for a while, her eyes went up to Adela, "What is it? Are you also gonna deny the fact that you're a mermaid too?"

"Huh? She's a mermaid?" Francesca couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Call the cops." Ben instructed his personal guard. "There's a clean bandit in my house." His eyes narrowed at the lad on the floor. "I'll make sure you and your miserable family spend the rest of their wayward lives in prison. Oh you think you could come into my house, manipulate everyone and then bring up baby mermaids? Ha! Not on my watch."

In no time, two police officers walked in. One on uniform and the other on suit. They picked her up, handcuffed her wrist and took her away. Ben gave them the address of her parents' resident. Since it was a command from the president, they also picked Rao and Urumi without questioning and locked them up with their daughter in prison.
