"Tell her Jason." She smirked and Jason just sat there not moving at all and let out a sigh.

"What is she talking about?" I asked quietly while looking at him.

"I wish I knew." He said.

"I thought people shouldn't lie to each other in relationships?" She asked mockingly looking at me.

"Hey bitch. This is a family dinner. Leave before I make you." Elena snapped standing but I grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Why don't you tell us what secret exactly?" I asked placing my arms on the desk trying to look unbothered.

"Are you sure it's my place to say? Jason knows. Why don't you ask him?" she said as her smirk widened.

"Well he doesn't know. So why don't you tell us?"

She shrugged before moving her gaze to Jason who was still in the same position as if nothing was happening around him.

"Tell her Jason."

"Say my name one more fucking time." He said in a low voice, obviously trying to control himself as I could see his jaw clench and unclench.

"But-"

I stood up slowly stopping her sentence and grabbed the bottle of wine that was in front of Elena.

"Would you like some wine with your bullshit?" I asked pointing at the wine glass in front of her.

She furrowed her eyebrows at me at confusion and didn't say anything. I shrugged and bent over a little before turning the bottle over her head.

She gasped loudly before abruptly standing up making her chair fall back. I watched in satisfaction as the red liquid make a mess of her head and go down her white dress.

"What the fuck is w-" She started but before she can finish, I grabbed Elena's glass and threw the content at her face.

"You didn't say anything, so I figure you wanted it over your head." I said and she groaned loudly attracting eyes on her.

"You listen to m-"

"No. You listen to me, bitch. If you have a problem you want to fix, we can get out of here where there would be no witnesses. If not, you grab what's left of your dignity and get the hell out of here."

"I am so freaking proud." I heard Elena sniff, earning a 'Shut up' from Seb.

I cocked my head to the side looking at Cindy expectantly as she just stood there looking at me with a murderous expression on her face.

"What is it going to be?"

She moved around the table and stood right in front, and all I can see was hatred on her face. Why exactly does she hate me so much? She did from day one and I honestly don't know why. If it's just because of Jason, then she's sicker than I thought.

"You think he loves you, don't you? What he feels for you is pity. Pity and something you'll know about later. But what he feels for you isn't love." She hissed with an almost deranged look on her face.

"You're cute." I said giving her a mocking smile.

She looked at me up and down in disgust before stomping away while bumping my shoulder.

I sighed and sat down not saying anything, but my mood was down now and I wanted nothing than to go home.

"I want to go home." I said quietly and Jason nodded standing up. "Are you coming, Elena?"

"No Seb and I have to take care of something." She said.

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Seb who nodded quickly.

I stood and made my way to the entrance with Jason, not having the strength to question them further. I'll question her tomorrow.

****

No words were exchanged during the whole ride, not even when we were in the elevator. All I know if that my heart was aching at the thought of something happening between them. There's no way I would accept it, or keep this relationship going if there was.

Especially not with this woman. I would never do that to myself. I'm in love with him, but I am not suicidal.

"What secret was she talking about?" I asked as soon and I walked into my place.

"There's no secret." He said closing the door behind him and I turned to look at him with my arms crossed over my chest.

"What do you mean 'there's no secret'. Then why would she say all that?"

"I don't know." He shrugged and I clenched my teeth at him.

I sighed shaking my head lightly to keep myself from having any negative thought. "Did something happen between you too?"

"You're asking me if I slept with her?" He asked back and I nodded

"Yes. Did you?"

"Are you serious, Vicky?" He questioning looking at me with raised eyebrows.

I rubbed my hands together in nervousness while looking down. "I'm just asking. Answer me."

"Are you crazy? I can't even stand her." He said in an annoyed tone.

"You can't stand her, okay. But did you sleep with her? It's a yes or no question."

I heard him sigh before answering. "No. I never even shook her hand."

I sighed in relief while placing a hand on my forehead as I felt my body relax a little as I felt my eyes watering, maybe out of relief. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry but that woman just bothers me."

I looked up at him to see a hard expression on his face. "I asked you to marry me. You think I would jeopardize our relationship for that thing you call a woman?"

"I was just asking. You didn't say anything when she was there."

"I would never speak to that woman or give her a chance to get a little bit familiar with me. I can't stand her." He said and I nodded quickly.

I heard him sigh before he moved closer to me as I sat on the arm rest of the couch.

He flicked my forehead making me groan before slapping his hand.

"Stop doing that!"

"No." He placed his hands on either side of me and leaned in so we were face to face. "I'll keep doing it until you get it through your head that I would rather die than hurt you."

I bit my lip lightly and slowly looked up at him. "Then what's the secret?"

I'm sorry but this is killing me.

"There is no secret. Have you not been listening?"

I nodded but my head was still burning.

What is this woman playing at?

"What I know is that you turned me on." He said bluntly snapping me out of my thoughts.

I looked up at him quickly to see a smirk on his face as his eyes became darker. My face heated as I placed my hands on his chest pushing away slightly.

He grabbed my hands keeping them there before wrapping an arm around me.

"Jas-" He cut me off by crashing his lips on mine eagerly.

A moan left me as I pulled my hand out of his grip to wrap them around his neck pressing myself closer to him. Red signals were appearing in my head when he grabbed my thighs tightly wrapping them around him.

Nope.

I gripped his hair and pulled at it earning a groan from him. He pulled back and moved my jaw then to my neck and I pulled him closer, my initial intentions forgotten. My eyes rolled at the back of my head as he nipped and sucked on my neck. My thighs tightened around him, while I tried hard to get my brain to start working again.

Snap out of it!

And I did. I grabbed a pillow from the couch and slammed it on his face before pushing him off with all my might and quickly and ran to my bedroom. I slammed the door shut and locked it leaving the key on it. He was making fun of my vintage doors, he won't have a way to open them if I don't take the key out.

Take that.

I heard his footsteps come close to the door before he stopped in front of it.

"Victoria open the door." I heard him say while knocking.

"No." I said sitting on my bed to take my heels off, while letting out a sigh of relief.

I placed my hand on my chest trying to calm my shaking body.

God! Why is it so hot in here?

I clenched my thighs lightly trying to release some of the pressure this man has caused.

"Come on, baby. I promise I won't do anything."

Stop talking!

"I don't believe you." I yelled.

"I promise."

"No. I'll see you tomorrow." I said still sitting on my bed not moving.

I don't plan on changing until he leaves. That's for sure. He needs to stay on the other side of that door. I'm strong, but I am not that strong, and I don't plan on testing my limits today. There's no way I'm giving in before the wedding.

I waited for a few minutes and relaxed when I heard the front door open and slam shut.

Was he angry?

I chewed on my lip and waited for another five minutes and decided to go grab my phone so I can call him to see if he was really mad, then call Elena since she wasn't home yet.

I unlocked the and walked which I knew was a mistake to come out when two strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist lifting me up.

I let a scream so loud that I would be surprised if my neighbors didn't hear it, followed by a giggle.

"I told you to come out."

I laughed fighting against him. "I did."

"Not when I wanted you to." He said throwing me on the bed making me bounce on it with a giggle.

"I'm sorry." I chuckled moving further on the bed.

"You are going to be." He grabbed my ankle and pulled me back on the edge earning a squeal from me as I hold onto my dress to keep it from riding up.

"Jason we should order food. I'm really hungry."

"I'm hungry too, and you won't feed me." He said trying to keep a straight face but I could see the smile stretching on his face.

I laughed again using my foot to push him away. "You're crazy."

"You drive me crazy." He smiled kissing me soundly before wrapping his arms around me and dropping on the bed. "Go put your ring on."

"I don't know where it is." I smiled lightly sitting up.

He turned his head to look at me unamused.

"Always so serious." I mumbled opening the drawer of the nightstand and took the ring out before putting it on.

"Come here." He said opening his arms and I smiled going to him. He grabbed my hand and kissed it lightly. "It better not come off again."

I smiled nodding before kissing his jaw lightly.

****

I looked at the time impatiently waiting for my drink to be made at the café I usually go to. I was late. I overslept because Jason stayed until late at night and would allow me to get some and because I spent most of the night thinking about that Cindy woman.

She is crazy and obsessive. I fired her. So now what?

She's going to keep appearing in my life like that?

"Here's your order miss." I quickly looked and thanked him quickly grabbing my drink and turning around.

I wasn't even looking and that caused me to bump into someone almost falling on my butt before he grabbed my arm steading me. I looked at the person other hand to see a part of his drink was spilled. There was also some of it on his dress shirt.

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry." I gasped looking up to see a brown skin man who was probably in his forties or fifties, looking at me wincing slightly at the hot drink that was probably hurting him.

I placed my hand over my mouth while looking at his stained shirt.

"I'm so sorry." I winced placing my drink on the counter and grabbing paper towel to hand them to him. "I'm sorry."

He didn't take them and just looked at my face for a moment not moving.

I smiled nervously waving my hand in front of him. "Sir?"

He snapped out of his trance and let out a small laugh before grabbing the paper towels I handed him.

"I was in a hurry. I didn't see you there."

"It's okay, really." He smiled putting his spilled coffee away.

"But your shirt is ruined. There's a store not far from here. I ca-"

"It's okay young lady. I've been through way worse than a ruined shirt. Or boiling coffee." He said with a warm smile and I couldn't help the smile that also appeared on my face despise the guilt.

That shirt looks expensive. I know I would cry if it was me.

I bit my lip nervously grabbing more paper towels for him. "At least let me buy you another coffee."

He chuckled lightly shaking his head. "It's fine. Don't worry about that."

I shook my head taking my wallet out. "Please I insist. It's the least I can do." I handed the money to the cashier and ordered another one.

"Thank you." He said lowly with the smile still present on his face.

"I'm usually not clumsy. I just wasn't looking." I smiled putting my wallet back in my purse. "I'm sorry again about your shirt."

"You made it up with the coffee-" He paused looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"Oh. Victoria. My name is Victoria." I smiled happily pulling my hand out.

His smile widened as he took my hand. "Victoria. My name is Steve. It's a pleasure to meet you."

I smiled again before grabbing my drink. "I have to go now. Goodbye Steve."

"Goodbye Victoria."

I quickly looked at my watch before going out of the shop and made my way to my car, not being able to wipe that smile off my face. I don't know why.

¥¥¥¥

Steve !!??? Is that..??? *gasps*
Donovan better run. Far !!
