Bride For Rent novel Chapter 52

Meanwhile, Felicity woke up at the sound of the door closing, she looked beside her but she didn't see Raymond, she sat up and looked around the room, "little Ray?" When she got no answer, she lifted the bed covers and climbed out of the bed, her legs wobbled and she felt a little intense ache in between her legs. She stood, trying to numb the pains before picking up her nightgown and putting it on.

When she walked, her body aches but she managed to leave the room, she pushed open Raymond's door and the first thing she saw was him kissing someone.

She froze at the doorstep, what happened between them flashing in her mind, the aches she feels is an evident that it wasn't a dream. He said he liked her, why is kissing another person? Her heart seemed to have fallen into her stomach "Little Ray..."

Raymond stiffened when he heard her voice, he pushed Grace away and turned to see Felicity, he doesn't need to see her eyes to know there is hurt in them. After all, they had shared something so intimate and she had to see him now with someone else. He can't begin to imagine the hurt she feels right now, he sighed "Felicity..."

"Why are you kissing Grace? You promised me that time that you won't let her come close to you again."

"Felicity..." He tried to explain.

"Is it because she is a woman and I'm not? But you said you don't like her" she looked at Grace to see she was naked. Was he about to do to her what he just did to her last night, after all, he took off her clothes too.

"Why are you here Felicity?" Grace asked, why does she has to come in every single time? She was angry as she watched her.

Felicity looked at her and then at Raymond, she didn't know what to say, so she turned and ran away to her room crying, she shut the door and ran to her bed, she fell on it in tears as she remembered how gentle he was to her and all the things he said, he had lied to her. Little Ray lied to her!

Her heart was heavy and no amount of tears seemed to ease her pain.

Raymond sighed and slumped on his bed, he buried his face in his hands. He knew he would hurt her but he just didn't expect it to be so soon. He knows he can go to her now and apologize, but he can't. It's better this way, he will never be good for her any way. Grace reached out to touch him and he stiffened, "get out" he whispered.

"You don't have to..."

"Get out!" His voice was low but it was filled with iciness that sent a shiver down her spine. She hurriedly picked up her clothes and left the room.

After some minutes, Raymond got up, picked up his shirt, opened his drawer and took a car key. He left the room, left the hallway in quick strides. He went outside, got into his car and sped off.

Later in the morning, Mercy went into Felicity's room to get her ready, Katherine will be picking them up that morning, she saw Felicity lying on the bed and smiled. "Get up dear, you will be returning to your aunt's home today."

She just silently pack her bags while watching her sip the soup.

Katherine arrived later to pick them up and she didn't fail to notice Felicity's quietness, she looked at Mercy who just sighed and looked down and Katherine knew what would have happened. She let out a deep breath and silently led Felicity to the car. She should sue Raymond for what he did but she knew he didn't force Felicity. Perhaps it's better like this that they are leaving, at least, now she wouldn't ask of him.

Katherine knew there was more to it than just sleeping with her, maybe he had done something else but she is more than sure Felicity won't talk about it. They left the mansion silently with Felicity just sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed.

The next few days, Felicity didn't liven up, she stays in her room all through the day, she hardly eats unless Mercy pleads with her. It wasn't long, she started losing weight, and her once sparkling eyes were always dull. This was worst than when she came back from the hospital and to make the matter worse, Raymond who was the one that helped her recover that time, is the one that hurt her now.

Her quietness was tolling on Katherine and she couldn't take it anymore, this was the reason she never wanted her to associate with any man because she doesn't want her to be heartbroken and now, here she is, heartbroken.

Katherine carried her dinner to her room as she does every night, she entered the room and smiled to her, "I cooked your favorite my darling" she placed it on the nightstand to see the tears glinting on her face, she sighed, "Felicity, again with the tears?" She sat beside her on the bed and wiped off the tears, "is it not enough already? I'm worried about you my dear."

Felicity sighed and without looking at her, she said in a determined voice "I want to become a woman Aunty Katy."
