Chapter 30
Simon, without any regrets about what had just happened, told her that he will
slap her again if she does not behave herself.
Becky could not withstand the slap as the sound of bells rang in her ear making her feel dizzy.
Holding on to the last thing she remembers before the heavy slap met her face joining her ear to it, she screamed out in pain telling Simon to be ready for what would come his way.
Simon who went back sitting on the couch looked at his hands as if he had violated the promise he had made to his mother and that was to hit a woman.
Muttering in his seat, he felt bad for Becky for laying his hand on her but her nagging attitude and insecurities were driving him crazy.
Simon, taking up his head and glimpsing at Becky behaves like a possessed woman in his bedroom, he can only imagine what he will throthrow at hands of such a character if he ever listens to his Mother’s plan of getting married to her.
To Simon, going out with Becky was a huge mistake that he had made, and that would take him some time to get out of as she was not ready to accept the fact that it was crystal clear between them.
Taking up to himself and rising to his feet walking towards Becky to apologize, she was sobbing heavily on his bed and he sat on the bed by her and let out,
“I am so sorry for hitting you Becky, and I promise it will not happen again”, Simone spoke out with regrets as he saw her in that state but his mind was made up not to have anything with her anymore.
Becky raised her eyes to look at Henry, she spat on his face telling him to go to hell.
Simon peered through his room and the thought of hitting her till she passed out was inevitable in his mind but he had to hold his fists tight so as not to commit an error that he was going to regret.
Calming down like a man he got up from the bed and before he could lose his temper any further, he told Becky to get herself up from his bed and use the door before he did something they both would regret.
Upon hearing of this, Becky laughed out loud like a conjurer that has been promoted to a higher rank of mysticism.
Simon, lifting his right hand and placing it on his chest, touched his heart from beating too fast, as he would not be able to control himself for long.
Becky raised a question about his sudden change and walking closer to Henry she interrogated,
” Are you doing all these because of Crystal?”, she let out waiting behind him to listen to his answer as she was very certain that she was the cause of all these problems.
Simon kept quiet and walked away from her as he headed for the door, but Becky was bent on receiving some beating that night as she ran to the door, closed it, and put the keys in her pocket.
“I will not let you out of my sight, you think I do not know that you are having an affair with Crystal?”, Becky continued with her nagging and unfounded accusations.
It was very valid that Simon had strong feelings for Crystal since their school days and he had never had the aptitude to erase Crystal’s portrait in his head and heart, but what he was not sure of was whether or not Crystal felt the same way for him or not.
Simon just stood there looking at the kind of strange lady he had been with and the blood clot in his body for some seconds before beginning to flow through again normally.
Becky continued with her rankings and speculation telling him how she would never love someone like him, and that he could keep dreaming for the day when Crystal is going to look his way because it will never happen as she is a loose woman.
Those last words that came out of Becky’s maw, drove Henry insane as he could not stand there and act silently any longer.
” What did you just say girl?, did you just call Crystal a loose woman?”, What are you them?”, Henry questioned Becky, walking closer to her and she was stepping backward with the anger that she could observe in Henry’s orifice and the irritation in his vocalist.
Frightened by his animosity, Becky’s lips shivered as she became conscious of what was going on.
Simon reminding her of who the loose woman is between Crystal and her interrogated Becky about who the most brilliant one in their school days was, as well as asking her who is running matters that concern her family’s business and how she is treating her as being loose.
“Does crystal appear loose to you? does a loose woman behave, act, and dress like her?”, he proceeded with his phrases, and each word that came out of his mouth, hurt Becky so much as she realized that moment that Simon never cared for her and was never going to be able to love her.
Simon had always had high esteem for ladies including the ones that he had dated but Becky’s stupidity, cheap nature, nagging, and idiotic attitude could make him go mad.
She was constantly insecure whether because of Crystal or some other lady Simon was talking to and she always wanted to be around him, following him all over and monitoring who he talked with, observed, works, and sometimes where he went.
As a man, Simon was feeling choked to have a partner who wanted to live in his skin and could not get a life for her.
Yes, she is from a super-wealthy family too and she has everything she could ask for but Simon also knows of a lot of ladies who are from more comfortable families with super hard-working skills.
All Becky ever wanted was to nag, control him, have sex, go out partying, ask when they would get married, and adopt and that was just the most terrible attitude he hated in her.
Becky’s hatred for kids was something he could not get to explain in his life and her constant refusal to ever have them.
She started nursing the feeling of adopting a baby after a heated conversation with her someday and Simon told her to leave his life if she was not ready to be a mommy.
Gawking at Becky in front of him, Henry only had regrets for tasting so much of his time on a brainless lady like herself.
She was so beautiful on the outside but had nothing to offer to a man on the inside apart from her countless attitude and expenses.
Shivering like someone who has been through hell and back, Becky mustered the courage and voice to ask,
” Did you just rain all those insults on me because of Bethany?”, she asked melting like ice cream on a cone.
Simon, extending his left hand at her, asked for the keys to his door as he wanted to leave the room for her.
Simon’s mother who had just arrived at the house could give attention to the disturbance that was coming out of her house and from her son’s room in particular.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Dropping her luggage downstairs as she was out of town for some days and returning home, was what the welcome she got, she called out on the maids that had hidden in the kitchen from the voices that were coming upstairs.
“Clara, Milan, where are you ladies?”, she called out their names waiting for them to come out.
On catching a glimpse of them both, she asked what was going on upstairs as the noise was getting too much.
” Who is causing this kind of commotion in my house in such a calm and seen environment?”, she raised a question as she was looking for her bag on the floor to search for her cell phone to call the police.
The maids shaking in fear informed her of what had been going on in Sir Simon’s room right from the minute that Ms. Becky walked into the Mansion.
“Becky?”, Simons’s mother asked in confusion.
Wondering why Simon and Becky could be fighting, she told Clara to take her baggage upstairs while she went in the direction of Simon’s room.
Crystal had finished eating her food and she was feeling better than she did some moments ago.
She kept down her palate and emptied her glass of juice, she looked at Georgia who was making faces.
Finishing her drink and arranging her back on the beg as she placed some pillows while sitting upright for her good to digest, she consulted her friend to know what the matter was and she asked a pertinent question following the look on her face,
” Are you thinking about picking up his calls, because if that is what is bothering you so much then you can as well do it?”, she let out.
Georgia was surprised by what Crystal had just said and she got more furious with her.
“Is that all you are going to say to me Crystal?”, she raised a question.
Crystal was aware that her question was going to irritate Georgia but she had to do it as it was so clear that she wished for the opportunity to talk with Jake and get hurt from the argument that they were going to have because comprehending Georgia, she will always want to talk about what she saw at his shack.
Crystal had dried her throat trying to make her friend understand that Jake had chosen his path and so she needed to choose hers but Georgia portraying traits of excessive stubbornness, did not want to let go of whatever she thought she was feeling for him.
Crystal peeking at her friend and wanting to console her told her to come to sit by her so that they could work something out.
Georgia behaving like a baby, came without her friend having to ask her again.
