Sherry yawned and stood up from the bed, she walked into the bathroom and showered before wearing some clothes.
She took her phone and checked for messages, she was shocked when she saw almost 50+ messages on her phone with missed calls.
Tara sent her 20 messages while the rest are from some of her high school mates who don't talk to her anymore.
She opened Tara's message and started reading.
"So you are Mrs Tony?"
"Fuck, i can't believe that I'm friend with the popular Tony"
"Hey are you there?"
"I was thinking that man who came to pick you up when you were drunk looked familiar but i wasn't sure"
"Damn, Girl i can't sleep"
Sherry smiled and started typing.
"Hi"
Her reply came quickly like she was waiting for her message.
"Damn, you are awake now?"
"Tell me, when did you get married to Mr Tony?"
"It is a month now"
"I'm so sad, you didn't even tell you are married, are we still friends?"
"Let's talk when we see, I'll explain to you"
"Okay, I'm waiting for you in school"
Sherry smiled.
She scrolled through the other messages.
Most of them were "Hi, hello, let's meet"
She didn't bother to reply to any of them.
Her mom or sis didn't call.
Her mom doesn't like watching news and Nancy also hates it, she prefers watching Chinese dramas.
Sherry put her phone into her bag and walked out of the room.
She didn't see anyone in the living room, so she walked out of the house and took a bike to school.
When she got to the school gate, Tara was already waiting for her.
Tara immediately walked towards her and held her hand.
"You are here"
"Yes"
They walked into the school together.
They went to the cafeteria first because Sherry was hungry.
"Now explain"
Tara said, Sherry started eating Tara was not eating because she already ate.
"It is a fake marriage, '' Sherry said nonchalantly.
Tara gasped in disbelief, "A fake marriage?" She looked like she didn't believe it.
Sherry nodded and took a sip of her water.
"Did his Grandma know about it too?"
"No, he just married me so his Grandma would not force him to marry the person he doesn't like, keep it a secret"
Tara nodded and put her hand on her mouth.
Sherry finished eating so they stood up and walked to the class.
Her course mates smiled at her, flattering her.
Sherry pursed her lips and didn't talk to anyone..
The title is not hers in the first place and they would divorce in a month when they divorce the people trying to please her will be the one to step on her later so she doesn't care about that.
Sherry went to sit down on her seat with Tara.
The lecturer walked into the class.
After the morning lecture, they did an exam for the last two weeks and the results were out.. The lecturer announced the result to everyone.
Sherry got full marks in all the subjects.
Her course mates admired her more.
Sherry was surrounded by many people, some tried to flatter her while some came to ask her questions they didn't understand.
"Sherry, can you take a look at this question? I don't understand it"
"Let me see" Sherry took the question and stared at it for a few seconds before quietly writing the complete solution step by step so the person can understand. Her handwriting was exceptionally beautiful just like her face.
She gave the solution to the person when she was done, "Thank you " the person thanked her sincerely.
She did not expect Sherry, who usually seemed aloof and indifferent, to be easy to get along with.
The students came one by one after seeing that she was actually nice.
"Sherry, i also don't understand this"
The students surrounded Sherry in a few minutes.. Only Vera was sitting down alone with two of her friends.
Vera gritted her teeth in anger, "She always seduce people wherever she goes"
"Vera, you should not offend her, she is Mrs Tony now" Katherine said casually.
Vera became more angry when she heard this, "What Mrs Tony? I'm sure he is toying with her and would dump her soon" her gentle face looked terrifying and vicious.
Everything was supposed to belong but that bitch snatched her spotlight away, She was the best student before Sherry arrived… She was flattered because of her powerful background and people always come to ask her questions when they don't understand but that bitch actually snatched all her crowns away.
She couldn't take this lying down but she couldn't offend Sherry too because of the man behind her.
She glared at Sherry with jealousy in her eyes.
She snatched her man too!
She had always liked and wanted to be Mrs Tony, she actually became Mrs Tony!
No Sherry has crossed her boundary just because she is beautiful and a little intelligent.
Sherry answered all her course mates, her hand was sore by now.
Tara smiled at her and console her, "Sorry"
Sherry nodded…
She didn't solve the problem so their impression of her would change but because she was trying to help and nothing else, she doesn't care if their impression of her changed or not.
That is their business not hers.
School ended soon.
Sherry and Tara walked out of the class.
They walked towards the gate together.
Sherry hailed a cab.
"I'll leave first" Sherry smiled at Tara and waved at her.
Tara nodded and waved back.
Sherry got into the car and the driver drove away.
She was going to visit her mom. It has been a while since she visited her because she was busy.
Her mom didn't even try to call her.
Sherry gave a bitter smile.
No one cared about her and she is already used to it.
Her mind started to wander.
All her mom cared about is money and it has always been like that since she was young, she thought she was busy that was why but it has always been like that.
She was sure her mom didn't even remember her birthday date.
But it was not like this before.
She recalled when she was four years old, her father was still with them then. On her birthday, her mom and dad bought a teddy bear for her. She was asleep and when she woke up she heard them singing her a happy birthday song and gave her the teddy bear.
What changed?
Was it because her father ran away with the savings and his mistress?
Even when she was bullied in school, she had no one to depend on.. She almost committed suicide out of frustration and Nancy was also young then, so they had to take care of each other with no one to depend on.
She also almost killed all her high school students who framed her by poisoning them… Once they died she would not be framed again and would have a peaceful life right? Then they should just die… She almost killed them, her mental health was bad and no one cared.
"We are here," the taximan said.
Sherry snapped out of her thoughts, she paid the man and walked into her mom's house.
The house was quiet, she was a little surprised because her mom doesn't have anywhere she always goes to.
She walked towards the backyard and was shocked by what she saw.
# Birthday Banquet (3)
She saw Nancy with her ex boyfriend Steven, Steven was kneeling down and begging Nancy.
Sherry opened her mouth and couldn't close, she tried to walk back like she was never there when her feet hit the door making a loud noise.
Sherry frowned, she raised her head and looked at them… They were also looking at her.
Steven's face flushed in embarrassment, he stood up from the floor feeling a little embarrassed that Sherry saw him in that state.
Nancy's face turned nasty when she saw Sherry, "What are you doing here?" She snapped at her.
Sherry didn't respond and walked away.
"Are you trying to seduce him again? Like you did before?", Nancy said.
Sherry stopped and turned around, she looked at Nancy in shock.
"I never seduced him!"
"Yes, i believe you" Nancy gave her a mockery smile, she turned around and walked away.
"Nan-" Steven tried to stop her, but she didn't even look back.
Steven sighed in frustration and looked at Sherry.
"Don't take her words to mind, she is in a bad mood" Steven said.
Sherry nodded and turned around, she walked out of the house.
She was already in a bad mood and didn't want to face her mom.
She hailed a cab to Bryan house.
She and Nancy were very close before, Sherry didn't know why Nancy loathed her now… They were very close before like normal sisters but since Steven broke up with her after finding out that she cheated on him, she had loathed Sherry… Sherry thought it was because Steven broke up with her so she was in a bad mood but it has been going on since then..
She treated her like she was an enemy and it made Sherry sad.
Sherry paid the taxi man and got out of the car…
She walked into the house, it was not locked.
Who knows when Sherry opened the door she was frightened by a tall figure.
"Be careful" Seeing that Sherry was going to fall, Bryan reached out and grabbed Sherry's arm.
Sherry was pulled directly into his arms, Sherry's nose hit Bryan's chest.
It felt so painful that tears welled up in her eyes.
She looked at him with a wronged expression.
His chest was too strong, she felt like her nose would break.
"Are you hurt?" Bryan asked feeling a little amused at her wronged expression.
He reached out and rubbed Sherry's nose gently like he was massaging it.
She felt it was less painful and stopped him.
"You are so careless"
Sherry glared at him with anger in her eyes.
Yes, it was her fault because she was frightened by his sudden appearance in the house and she was also absent minded but who asked his chest to be so hard.
Sherry ignored him and walked towards the room.
Bryan chuckled a little.
Sherry walked faster when she heard his chuckle.
She opened the room door and closed it with a 'bang'
She sat down on the bed feeling a little tired. She rubbed her eye brow and yawned feeling sleepy.
Her body was aching and she didn't feel like standing up to take a shower.
The room door opened and someone entered.
She guessed that it was Bryan but was feeling too lazy to open her eyes.
She felt him lay down next to her, she didn't move and lay there motionlessly.
She felt his breathing become heavier and it was near her ears so she opened her eyes with a frown on her face.
But he suddenly leaned towards her and kissed her.
It was a deep kiss, he was taking and taking with his kiss. Pushing his tongue into her mouth, he caught her soft and sweet tongue sucked on it and held her tighter.
Sherry trembled and felt her body become limp. She didn't have any energy to resist him and just allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
She hated kissing because she found it disgusting but she liked his kisses she doesn't understand why. So she tried to avoid him as far as she could.
But she still couldn't avoid him if they were living in the same room together.
By the time he released her, she was out of breath.
She took a deep breath and felt like she would die out of suffocation because of his kisses.
Her eyes also became heavy, she slept without knowing..
Bryan looked at his erected crotch and the heartless girl who had fallen asleep leaving him to his fate.
He sighed and stood up.
He walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower.
He can't count how many times he has taken a cold shower ever since they started sleeping in the same room.
He has been single since he was young, he has never fallen in love with anyone before until he met that girl in high school who left a deep impression on his heart and he couldn't forget her since then, and he found her five years later.
He never believed in destiny, until he found out that Sherry was that girl, he believed that it was destiny who brought her back to him which made him happy… All he had to do is to keep her by his side now, which he believed won't be hard.
He walked out of the bathroom and lay down by her side, he watched as Sherry shifted towards him and put her head on his chest before sleeping soundly again.
Bryan smiled and hugged her to sleep too.
…
By the time Sherry woke up, Bryan was not inside the room.
She woke up later because she didn't have lectures for that day but she still had to shower.
She stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.
She took a hot shower because it was winter… She walked out of the bathroom and put on casual clothes.
She took her phone to check for messages.
She saw that she had fifteen missed call from Flow and twenty text messages from her. She didn't save her number but her memory was good so she remembered it.
She opened the messages and started reading them.
"Call me back"
"Pick up the call"
"Why are you not picking up?"
….
She ignored and didn't want to call her back, she would call back if she had anything important to say.
She was about to leave her phone on the bed when her phone rang immediately.
It was her again.
Sherry picked up and put the phone on her ear.
"Hello?"
"Why didn't you pick up since I've been calling you?" She heard Flow's irritated voice.
Sherry smiled closely when she heard her, she hated this kind of people so much, "Miss Flow, i think this is my phone which i bought with my money right? You didn't buy the phone for me huh? I pick any call that i feel like picking and i don't pick up when i don't feel like"
Flow expressed turned ugly on the other side… She clenched her jaw tightly and pinched her thigh to regain her composure.
She should calm down and she must achieve her goal of making the phone first.
She repeated this in mind for a few times before forcing out a smile.
Sherry thought she didn't have anything to say anymore and was about to hang up when she heard her voice again.
"Sorry, Miss Sherry i was in a bad mood before, i hope you don't mind"
"Just tell me whatever you want to say" Sherry said feeling a little disgusted by her sickening gentle voice.
"Can we meet? I have something to tell you"
"Sure," Sherry agreed, feeling curious about what she wanted to say.
"I'll text you the address later," Flow said.
Sherry hung up after saying this.
