on my hips. I swing them from side to side when my ass is closely situated on his crotch. Liam’s eyes flash with some dark emotion and soon after that, he is ripping me away from his best friend. That’s what I thought.

“Who is jealous here, Liam?” I murmur into his ear. I kiss his cheek and stroll away. His hand stops me.

“Don’t tempt me Morpho,” His husky voice melts my heart. Why do I react to him like that. I walk away from both of them and at the corner of my eye, I catch Tyler talking with Sophia. Her hair is wrapped around her finger and he is smiling down at her. Not on my watch bitch. I decide that this is the moment of revenge. I look around to find the microphone which I asked Zac to add to the party. He thought that my idea was a karaoke and he loved that, but I have something else in mind. I take the microphone and begin to speak.

“Hello everyone! I have a little surprise for you all!” People leave what they were doing and turn to look at me. “I decide that this party would be much better when the real voices will sing, so that’s why we have a karaoke station right here!” The audience erupts in excitement. “To encourage you to sing, I will go first. I will sing some amazing song, with dedication to my brother Tyler! Tyler show yourself, don’t be shy!” People start to shout Ty’s name and his smiling face appeared before me. “Tyler, my darling this song is for you.” I look up at Liam and see his angry face. He is jealous.

The melody starts to play. I chose ‘I see red’ by Everybody Loves an Outlaw, because oh, how this song suits our situation. Finally, it’s time for me to sing.

“Did you really think

I just forgive and forget, no.

After catching you with her,

Your blood should run cold, so cold.

You, You two- timing, cheap lying, wannabe.

You’re a fool…

If you thought that I’d just let this go!”

After the first stanza I remove my hoodie, because, under this potato bag, I’m wearing a sexy corset with red balconette. The bottom of the corset is finished with a tutu but it’s not like some ballerina tutu. The tutu I have is much shorter in diameter. The idea was to pose for a porcelain doll. My legs are covered by black fishnet stockings. I look sexy as hell and everyone can confirm that, because after I removed my hoodie everyone gasps and then whistled and howled.

My eyes are focused on Tyler. His face is whiter with each sentence I’m singing. The song is about a broken girl who founds his boyfriend cheating on her. The girl is thirsty for revenge and so am I. I think, he didn’t know that I know, and of course, he didn’t want me to find out. Too late for that.

The song finishes and I step out the stage with people jumping around me in excitement. They liked the show, I can tell. I walk to the table with drinks and start to pour myself a drink.

“What the hell was that?!” Tyler shouts from behind me.

“A song. Didn’t you like it? You always liked me singing, I think it has changed as well…” I gulp the whole liquid at once and start to prepare the next one.

“I’m not stupid. I know it was a song but why did you do that?”

“I think we both know the answer to that question. You lied to me, Ty. This is the only thing you do to me since you came here! I hate that you think that you can use me whenever you wish. I’m not your property and by coming to bed with that slut, you destroyed everything what could be between us. But I think I need to thank you, because I finally see who I am to you and that I never meant anything.” I take a whole bottle of something and drink straight from it. To hell with cups.

“You know this is not true. You just don’t understand everything yet. I have a lot on my head right now. I’m working with our father, you know that…”

“Yes, I do. But it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve been working with him in London as well, but you still had a time for me. You never lied to me before. Oh, my bad, you did but I didn’t find out since last week that you are a lying prick.” I take one more swing from the bottle and I can already feel my head spinning like crazy.

“Em, please, you need to trust me with this one. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He pleads. Yeah, right. Maybe not intentionally but his actions… Maybe I didn’t see this before but every time he came back to me after his hookups with other girls, I’ve been devastated. He should put me on the first place. I should respect myself more because this is my fault. I am the reason why he thinks that he can use me whenever he wants. I didn’t respect myself and let him use me. But this is over, I will not let the man order me around.

“I think you had enough.” Liam’s voice catches me off guard. Why he needs to be always so close. I turn to look at him and I see two of him.

“Why the hell you here? Don’t you see that we’re talking?” Ty steps in front of me, but I push him back.

“You know what? I had enough. To hell with both of you.” I storm away from them. I hate them. I hate that one of them is hurting me and the second doesn’t see me hurt. They both the reason I’m so weak and devastated.

I move past the crowd and open the back door. I need some air. I walk outside and take a deep breath. Why is it
