Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

333 Last kiss

“Don’t worry about it, I’ve seen much worse, trust me! Inspector Fin smiled. 1

“Ahm; I wanted to see you because I have something to tell you,” Piper adjusted her sitting posture. “Oh, I also have something to tell you, but go first.”

“Really? You go first then,” Piper said.

Beverly got up and took her purse. “I’ll be waiting outside,” she said. Without letting anyone speak, she started taking long strides towards the door, trying so hard to not rage.

Inspector Fin and Piper turned their heads to look as Beverly kept walking further and further away.

Just as Beverly was about to touch the doorknob, Inspector Fin bolted up and immediately proclaimed; “I’m sorry, Piper, I made a mistake. I realized that what I felt for you wasn’t love but-”

“I know.” Piper cut in.

Beverly paused by the door, not going forward, nor backward.

“How did you know?” Inspector Fin asked.

“Because I saw it in your eyes when you talked about Beverly. Ok that day, you said you’d break up with her but when you said that, a look of pain flashed through your eyes for a moment. That was when I knew that you were passing through a confused phase in your love life. It happens once in a while and it can be better handled by seeking a time to be alone than breaking up. Beverly, you’re a woman, you should know better” Piper sighed.

“You-” Beverly looked from Piper to Inspector Fin, lost in how to react.

“To be honest, I was never into your man. When he approached me, I agreed because I wanted to use him to get my brothers‘ attention. Also, I had no boyfriend, so I just wanted to have fun. However, now I have a boyfriend and he’s a jealous freak. I don’t want him to think I’m cheating, which is why I called you hate today to break the news to you.” 1
