“The both of us have to drink until one of us turns up drunk and unable to drink anymore,” Reina proposed, which was a very bad idea. Not that I didn’t trust my wife’s drinking skill but drunk Reina was not a very civil person.
“Sure,” Claire agreed without a second time. Guess she was still intent on defeating my wife.
“If I win, you get your ass out of here and never come near us again,” Reina told her.
“And if I win?” her brow raised interestedly.?Claire knew her pretense had been seen through and would do everything to take advantage of this opportunity since this was her last chance.
“What do you want then?” Reina didn’t back down.
“An hour alone with your husband,” was her request.
Reina’s expression changed to a grave one.
“I have something important to discuss with him unless you don’t trust your husband,” She incited my wife who smirked. Regina knew this game white well. And yes, I know that glint in her eyes. This Claire woman has just been blacklisted
“Fifteen minutes,” Reina bartered.
“Thirty minutes,”?Claire refused.
“Ten minutes,”
“Fifteen minutes it is then,” she laughed, “You bargaining with me, doesn’t it mean you’re not confident of winning? “
Contrary to the woman’s belief, Reina was giving her a false impression of fear; Claire thought she was the one winning already.
“Stop bitching and start drinking,” Reina sassed and took the glass of wine. Both of them gulped down the wine in one swift. It seems Claire was good at drinking too. Just hoped Reina knows what she’s doing – this time, she might have met an opponent on equal footing with her.
The both of them continued drinking until that bottle of wine was finished and another was brought to their table per their order.
“So, how does it feel, lusting over my husband?” Reina asked out of nowhere to everyone’s surprise.
“Lust?” Claire laughed, her cheeks were rosy, indicating the alcohol was finally kicking in. Neither was Reina any better.”You don’t deserve him,”
“And you do?” Reina laughed back.
“Of course. You’re not even half as beautiful as I am, he should be with people in his league,” Claire claimed, swallowing her drink greedily – that woman has annoyed her.
“Wow, that’s shocking, but guess what? You would never be with him, why? Because we already have kids and I’m sure no responsible man would leave his family to hook up with someone like you?with a fiancée,” she added, “Oh, and even if he does, you would always be known for the hookup while I’ll be the woman he returns to every day,”
“Shut up!” Claire hissed out in anger. She was so blinded by rage that she didn’t realize how fast she was drinking compared to Reina who was taking her time.
“This man here,” She slurred, pointing at her Fiancée James, “It’s a nobody. He’s always the one holding onto me but don’t worry, my family is searching for a way to disannul the engagement our grandfathers did, and soon, the fool would be out of my life,” She poke drinkily.
“Now, I’m done with you. I have taken every insult you’ve given with good faith because I loved you and thought you would change. But I was so wrong. Goodbye, Claire ” James couldn’t take the humiliation anymore. He stood, picked up his jacket, and left.
“Hey, where are you going? Come back here?!” Claire bellowed and as if the veil was lifted off her eye, she turned to Reina and bellowed, “You tricked me!”,
“You don’t need him – you clearly said that. Moreover, you can’t chase after my husband while having another as backup,” My wife smirked evilly.
I felt proud of her achievement. She indeed has a good teacher – me. Who knew Reina was a good student. All my lessons were not in vain.
“Now, let’s drink,” Reina urged her to continue and it was at that moment that Claire realized she was drunker than she thought due to her fast drinking. Her head knocked on the table with a thud as she passed out.
Reina gulped down the rest of her wine and turned to me with intoxicated eyes, saying, “Mission accomplished: Successfully got rid of the evil seductress. Mission rewards: a steamy night with my hobby all to myself. How does that sound?”
I readjusted in my seat, a bit flushed with the way she was staring at me, “You should have some food before we go,”
But the drunk Reina laughed at me – the personality I’ve been trying to avoid.
“Why bother about food,” She leaned closer seductively, and breathed into my ear, “When I have a tantalizing meal set before me,” her hand went to my crotch.
I jumped from her touch, looking around like a thief as I wondered if anyone had seen her do that. Maybe, it wasn’t such a bad idea to return to our room now.
The third point of view :
“All I did was give you one mission and yet you failed it, woefully!” Queen Roselle criticized Fiona who had her head lowered, refusing to meet the woman’s irritated gaze.
Fiona had returned to Lincolnshire unfulfilled. The purpose of her going to that wedding was for her to separate Judy and that woman called Emily, but her plan didn’t succeed at all. That Emily was a witch.
She stuttered, “I-I tried my best,”
“Tried your best?” the woman scoffed, “What has your best done?!” She stood from her seat and walked over to Fiona who still had her head lowered.
The queen continued, “Judy’s coronation is next month and you of all people know a King can’t be crowned without a Queen by his side. Judy is stubborn and would surely do everything to make that woman his wife, which is why I left you to do the job of removing that woman. What can you even do best, Fiona? “
Fiona clenched her fist, bitterness growing in her heart as that question sank in her head. What can she even do best? All her life, everything has been pre-made for her, and always, she got what she wanted.
But not this time. This was the first mission she couldn’t accomplish even with all her father’s resources and influence; everything rested on her effort. What could she do with the money? She couldn’t bribe Emily with money to leave Judy since the woman was born with a silver spoon herself. Moreover, she had a fast-growing fashion line. What then could she bribe Emily with?
“You’re a proper lady and for that, I chose you for Judy, unlike Emily. But don’t be mistaken,” she corrected the impression here, “I have nothing against Emily but her status disqualified her from this position. She’s a divorced woman and I don’t need drama in the royal family,”
Fiona didn’t like the sound of that, she always had the impression that the queen thoroughly hated Emily, who knew it was simply because of her marital status. No, this was bad. Didn’t this mean that there was a chance the queen might change her mind in the future?
“But looking at it now,” The queen sighed, “It seems you’re not experienced enough for this position,”
Fiona’s expression paled instantly.
“I’ll have to look for another decent woman who can compete for a man’s attention and emerge victoriously. It seems I gave you a task bigger than your capability,” the queen said.
Fiona immediately got on her knees, pleading, “Queen Roselle, Please give me another chance. I promise to be successful this time,” sweat beaded her forehead as she begged for a second shot.
