Chapter 44: Cussing Cooper
She came closer and held me as I cried. I cried for a long time before stopping.
"Here," she said, giving me a hanky. I accepted it and wiped my tears.
"You ruined your makeup," she frowned.
"I don’t care about this damn makeup."
"Do you want to drink? There is alcohol, beers, and wines inside," she whispered.
"Yes, I would love that," I mumbled.
She left the car and returned five minutes later with a bottle of wine and six canned beers.
"The wine will be last; let’s have our party here. I want to hear everything; tell me everything." She gave me one canned beer and took one for herself.
I’m not the drinking type; I’ve only gotten drunk once before. I guess I’ll add to my previous record. After opening the drink, I drank half of its contents before stopping. Ruby also drank from hers.
"So tell me, what happened? Which of the brothers offended you? Or did they collectively ruin your mood?"
"No," I smiled, shaking my head. Then I began to explain.
"I was in Cooper’s office when you called; I couldn’t take your call because I was speaking to him. I caught him with a lady. I didn’t catch them in the act, but Cooper ended up confessing to me; he said he made out with her."
A gasp left Ruby’s lips. "Really?"
"He said it straight to my face; he didn’t try to hide it or sugarcoat things. He confessed to cheating with her."
"Moon goddess! He is so terrible; how dare he?" She frowned.
"Do you know the most annoying part? It’s the part about the lady he was cheating with; she met me in the elevator and told me to break the mate bond with Cooper. She wants to have him, so she asked me to dissolve our mate bond. She claimed..." I paused and laughed.
"She claimed that I was holding him back; she claimed that I was stopping him from doing what he truly wants. She wants me—no, she needs me—to break our mate bond so she can have him all by herself."
"Who’s this lady? Do you know her name?"
"Freya, she introduced herself as Freya; she said she works as a team leader in the sales department. She’s been working for him for four years, and she’s been in love with him ever since. She wants me to move out of the way so she can fully occupy Cooper’s heart."
"Like she could..." Ruby frowned. "Even without you there, she’ll never be able to tame a beast like Cooper. And why did you listen to that nonsense? You should have shut her up with a slap or something. She’s crazy. She has such audacity," Ruby frowned.
"Why would I hit her? I was tempted to slap Cooper, but I held myself back. Hitting him or reacting foolishly will only make me like them. I don’t want to act violent, obsessed, and possessive like they do."
"I don’t want that," I said, shaking my head.
"But still... This is so annoying; are you going to let this slide? I can’t let this slide. We need to do something about this."
After finishing the first can, we moved to the second and then to the last.
"What can we do? There’s nothing we can do," I mumbled.
"So you’re just going to cry and let it go?"
"There’s nothing I can do, Ruby. You know it. They have me wrapped around their little finger. They don’t even consider my feelings. I think... I think they forgot that I have feelings. I can also feel."
"I feel... I feel things. I also have feelings..." Tears started running down my face again.
I think my tears pissed Ruby off because she suddenly reached for my purse, opened it, and retrieved my phone, then dialed Cooper’s number.
"I will insult him so badly. I don’t care what happens to me afterward. I’ll tell him off," she groaned. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"No. No. Don’t do that, Ruby. He won’t let you go; he’ll destroy you." I tried to reach for the phone, but she leaned away.
Cooper answered the call the next minute.
"Hey Princess, are you at the party? I can’t see you; I was just about to call. Where are...?" Cooper started to speak, but Ruby didn’t let him finish and began to curse him.
"You scumbag. Can’t you control your tiny dick?" Ruby yelled.
"Must you always cheat on her? Must you make her cry all the time?" She yelled.
"Excuse me...?" Cooper huffed. "Who is this? Is this Ruby?"
"Yes, it is I, so what? What can you do to me? Can you catch me? Well, go ahead if you can. Come and catch me."
"Who is that?" Parker’s voice came in.
"I think it’s Amera’s friend."
"What the fuck is she talking about? She sounds drunk. Don’t tell me she’s with Amera. Are they drinking together? I think they’re together." Parker’s voice came from the background.
"Hey, are you with Amera? This is her phone, right? You’re with her. Where are you? I’ll come get her," he said.
"Don’t try it! Amera doesn’t need a dickhead like you to get her. Leave her alone, you good-for-nothing bastard!"
What the hell...!
"How dare you cheat on my friend with that ugly thing? You’ve been fucking her behind the scenes. Your bitch is ugly. How dare you do this to her?"
"Because of you, that ugly bitch insulted her today. How dare you do that to her? Huh?"
"Where are you? You can speak to me in person and stop yelling," he said.
"Speak to you in person? Why would I? You’re not worth my time, okay? I hate you. Amera hates you too. She doesn’t want to see your smelly ass and dick. Go fuck Freya, okay? Bury your dick inside her. Fuck her until your balls explode."
"Hey, that’s enough. I don’t care if you’re drunk. It’s enough; hand the phone to Amera."
"I’m not doing..." Ruby started to speak, but I snatched the phone from her and placed it against my ear.
"Why? What do you want to say to me, you bastard?!" I yelled.
"Princess..." He sighed.
"Don’t call me that, you evil manipulator. You manwhore. Butt-licker. Cunt-eater. Pussy-chaser. How dare you? Don’t ever call me by that name. My name is Amera; I am not a fucking princess."
"I thought you weren’t mad," he sighed.
"That’s right, I am not mad. I am fucking thrilled. I felt so much joy when you confessed how you’ve been fucking her. I felt out of the world. Are you happy now?"
"Okay, I’ll apologize. Where are you? Let’s talk."
"No, I don’t wish to speak to you. I hate you. I hate all of you. I hate you, Cooper Sebastian. I wish I had never met you." Unable to control my emotions, I broke down and began sobbing again. "You make my life miserable; you should never have come into my life." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"You make me so sick. Why did you have to come into my life? When I was poor, I was never this unhappy. I wish... I wish you could just disappear with the others. I hate you."
Then I ended the call.
