Chapter 2 Lies And Betrayals
- What should Tinsley say? That Lillee chose the modeling gig that could give her the fame she wanted over Conrad and their wedding. And her parents repeatedly begged her to substitute for Lillee until she was back.
- Conrad took menacing steps toward her with a disgusted expression, "I know you have always admired me but never know you'll stoop to this level." Conrad said harshly which made her shake her head.
- She never wanted this, she never wanted to be his bride.
- "Did you harm Lillee for your shameful actions?"
- "No. I didn't. Lillee she…" How could she? She couldn't even breath at Lillee's vicinity talkless of touching her.
- The silence that ensues was broken by the sound of a ringing tone.
- A smile adorned Mrs. William's lips as she picked up the phone and placed it on speaker.
- "Mom, my manager invited me to the company because she had something to say to me early in the morning. And on my way back, my car experienced a breakdown. I called Tinsley to inform you to send a car to pick me up, did she?" Lillee's voice that was filled with grievances filled everyone's ear.
- Tinsley gasped in shock, disbelief and fear. "You…. That's a lie…"
- But before she could finish her words, Mrs. William suddenly rushed toward Tinsley and a fierce slap immediately fell on Tinsley's face. "You disgraceful child, how dare you do this to Lillee? You're such a shameless Vixen."
- Tinsley was left shocked by her mother's sudden slap and accusations.
- "But mom, what did I see on social media? Why is Conrad getting wedded to Tinsley? Why?" Lillee immediately breaks down into tears. "Does Conrad not like me anymore? Does he love my sister now?" Lillee continued with a sob.
- "If he does then I'll give both of them my blessing. Its just that, it would hurt, I've loved him all my life and I promised to love him to death." She said with sniffles.
- Conrad felt as if something stabbed his heart as he heard the voice of his crying woman. He immediately took hold of the phone, "Baby, I'm sorry. It's not what you think. I'll call you back but let me deal with this shameless..." Conrad said and cut off the call.
- Before Conrad could finish his words Mr. William interrupted, "No need Conrad. Go to find Lillee and comfort her firstly. As a father, I must educate this shameless woman by myself."
- "You're so shameless that you'll set your sister up. Do you think I'll ever be interested in someone like you? Look at yourself, how could you ever be compared to Lillee?By your looks or reputation?" Before leave, Conrad said sharply.
- Everything that happened in the wedding venue shocked Tinsley so much.
- "Conrad, I didn't do it. Mom, Lillee never called me. Didn't she go out of the country because she accepted the modeling job that would bring her to the limelight . Did you forget that you and dad asked me to stand in for Lillee…" Tinsley cried out but before she could finish her words, another slap fell on her cheeks.
- Mrs. William was furious, "You, how can you try to push the blame on someone else. You little vixen."
- Tinsley shook her head in disbelief at her parents' accusation. Before she knew it, tears started dripping from her eyes.
- She felt all the energy in her body drained because she never expected it. She never expected to be betrayed by her parents and sister.
- Tinsley knew that they never cared about her and Lillee had always been their treasure but she couldn't understand the reason they did this to her.
- “Look at her, such a shameless vixen. She wanted to be marry her sister’s finace.”
- “She's so disgusting and ugly, if I was her I would just commit suicide to rid the world of an ugly freak.”
- The comments entered her ears, Tinsley was no longer willing to stand up to their humiliation, she immediately ran out of the wedding hall with sadness unwilling to look at the contemptuous gazes but before she could make her way out, someone purposely stretched out her leg which made her trip and fall to the floor.
- She could hear the crowds laughing while they pointed their phones at her. She could see her parents leave the hall with an annoyed expression.
- Tinsley tried to stand up but before she could, someone purposely stepped on her hand which made her cry out.
- "Oops, bitch. That was a mistake."
- Tinsley picked herself up and finally made her way outside but before she could escape, reporters crowded her from all angles which made her dizzy.
- “Tinsley William, is it true that you took on the identity of your model sister Lillee William in order to wed your brother-in-law, the famous actor Conrad Norton.”
- “Tinsley William, did you find your actions disgusting?”
- “Tell us what was your motive? And since when have you had a shameless crush on your brother in law?”
- Tinsley bent on the position she was in, she had tears in her eyes as she went through embarrassment from people she knew and she never knew. Finally, she went back to the dressing room to change out of the wedding dress and pick up her clothes.
- With nowhere to go, Tinsley stumbled down the street and eventually made her way into a bar.
- She kept pouring herself alcohol, trying to forget everything that had happened at the wedding. But the humiliating words of those people repeated in her mind.
- “Look at her, she was that vixen who tried to marry her sister's husband.”
- She began to cry uncontrollably, and it wasn't long before a ringing phone interrupted her.
- Tinsley immediately picked up her call without checking to see who called her,
- "Tinsley." Lillee's voice immediately filled her ears
- "How dare you try to marry Conrad, you shameless slut. Take a look at you, who will want you. Mom and dad never want you, I never wanted you either, no one will." Lillee's vicious voice immediately drifted into her ear. It was far different from the good sister's voice that she pretended to be.
- "You were the one who ran away… You…" Before Tinsley could finish, Lillee added sarcastically.
- "You're so naive, dear sister. Do you think mom and dad don't know about my decision? You're so fuckin dumb to fall into the trap. I want my fame and Conrad. I want to appear on my wedding day, you fool." Lillee's voice replay in Tinsley's ears as she downed an alcoholic liquor.
- "I'm so naive." Tinsley's lips quivered and she almost broke down. It only took one second
- "One second to get my life ruined by the so-called people I called family." Tinsley thought as she finished another liquor.
- "It only took me a second to get my life ruined." Tinsley thought as she poured herself another cup.
- "Hah. Aren't you that vixen who likes to steal other’s husband? If you're so crazy on men, you can come play in my private room." A drunk middle aged man suddenly appeared before Tinsley and pointed at her which made everyone began to laugh loudly at her.
- Seeing that Tinsley didn't pay him attention, he walked to her and tried to touch her, "Come here, I will take care of your vixen body better than anyone else." The man said and tried to grope Tinsley's butt but before he could, a slap fell on his cheeks.
- "You damn vixen!" The man was so annoyed by her actions that he raised his hand but before his hand could fall on Tinsley's cheeks, a masculine hand suddenly gripped the man, stopping him.
