Chapter 165: Chapter 165

Brianna got up to her feet shakily, examining her flawless arms and perfectly groomed nails. She still had trouble processing Ian’s last words, but she understood the meaning of the threat very well.

Her mind was so flustered that she had become numb.

’Ian, my Ian, referred to my hands as paws? Doesn’t that mean that he thinks I am-’

"No, no, that cannot be!" She whispered to herself, denying the obvious.

She took one step and then another, but then, she suddenly felt a stinging pain on her cheeks; a force pushed her head to the side.

A ringing sound filled her ears, and her eyes stung as a few tears threatened to spill.

She felt the pain more than heard what it sounded like. That slap was what woke Brianna out of her stupor.

She turned and glared at the person while her eyes widened in surprise.

Ava plastered herself by the wall as if she wanted the wall to open and swallow her up. Her face started feeling hot, but she did not stop herself from taking in her fill of the R-rated scene taking place in front of her. She held back Suzie, who was also then all red over, stopping her from making a sound or even taking a step.

Neither Ian nor Shelby saw them as they kissed themselves into oblivion, as if they even wanted to undress in the hallway.

’I was worried for nothing. Ian’s got her.’ Ava bemused.

She let Suzie go when the door to Ian’s room closed behind them. A fond look graced her face as she stared at the closed door for a while.

"Now, let’s take care of that mess!"

Suzie nodded, her eyes narrowing and her pigtails bouncing around at the intensity of her nod. She was very well aware of what needed to be done.

They both sneered when they returned to Shelby’s room and saw Brianna getting herself up. She had forgotten about her surroundings, so they at least were given a glance of that bared pussy again.

Ava clenched and unclenched her hands as if contemplating something.

She stormed up to Brianna just as she got to her feet and gave her a resounding slap.

Brianna swelled in anger, and she pointed her shaking hand at Ava.

"What about me, Brianna?"

Brianna stretched out her hand to return the slap, but Ava caught her hand and threw it back, destabilizing her yet again so that she fell on her bum and bared out her goods again.

"You know my name now? Oh, so high and mighty, Brianna. Shelby may be soft about letting things go, but not me! Just look at you, baring out your pussy, thinking that it can snare Ian. What kind of friend are you? You come to Shelby’s home, her room and try to seduce her husband? Try to do things that you would like to be done to you! Just because of your family’s little money, you think you can cover the sky with your hand?"

Ava heaved up and down, her anger so bad that it was as if she was the one whose husband had been targeted.

"You will regret what you have done today! I will make sure of that!" Brianna gritted out.

Brianna had then managed to get up again, and she meted out the threat, her eye so red that it was scary to look at.

This time, Suzie stepped in.

"Do your worst, Miss Brianna. Let’s see if you can touch a hair on Miss Ava here!"

"Who are you? When did a maid get to have a say here? Get out of my way!"

Suzie added and then did something that Ava did not expect.

She grabbed Brianna’s arms painfully and started dragging her out of the door.

"Let go! What are you doing?"

"Getting you out of the way so that I can clean!"

"You dare!" Brianna threatened.

Suzie did not listen and literally dragged Brianna out of the room, along the corridor, and through the receiving room.

Brianna screamed throughout but could not get herself out of the smallish-looking Suzie.

When they got to the receiving room, Katie demanded, "What’s going on here?" Geneva looked on in amusement as she could guess what may have happened.

"I’m sorry, Katie. I will take my punishment later, but I have to take out the trash for now!"

"Trash? You dare call me trash? I will make sure that-"

Geneva waved her hand in a dismissal gesture, and Suzie continued, never letting Brianna complete her threats. Ava followed closely, and they deposited Brianna outside. She stumbled as her driver caught her just in time.

"Let me go!" She wrung herself from his arms, so embarrassed and angry at the same in a way that she had never felt before.

Many workers tried to look like they were not interested, but their eyes were wide open as they spectated. The ruckus was enough to get most of them out to see what was happening.

To add insult to injury, Suzie threw a small package at her.

"That is a panty! It looks like with all your money; you could not buy one of those as you lack it!"

It was as if a bombshell had been dropped. Brianna could not bear the embarrassment and then rushed into her car among the gazes that had turned hostile when they realized the implication of the words.

Brianna ducked into her car, wishing the glasses were tainted, but they were not.

"What are you doing there, idiot? DRIVE!"

All these had not taken much time. Ava high-fived Suzie, and the two smiled. Even though the workers wanted more information, Suzie and Ava returned and re-entered the estate. Geneva and Katie were not in the receiving room when they passed.

"I need to go clean up." Suzie muttered to herself, making a mental note to submit herself to her superiors because she had broken one major rule!: She had manhandled a visitor!

"Oh, I left my phone at Shelby’s. Why won’t I, with all this nonsense!"

Ava knew that Brianna would take her anger out on her, but she was just fed up, and she did not care!

Ava hurried along the corridor and pushed Shelby’s door open without knocking. Her surprise was immeasurable as her eyes landed on Shelby. She shared a look with Suzie, and they quickly closed the door behind them.

"Shelby? What are you do-"

Ava stopped mid-sentence when she saw that Shelby had tears in her eyes. Shelby’s tears were heart-wrenching – always.

Just imagine someone with that level of beauty in distress. It moved and made men want to do so much for her.

"What is it, Shelby? Weren’t you about to do that with Ian?" Ava raised an eyebrow. She sighed and sat by Shelby.

"Tell me what happened."

"I think I messed up, Ava."

Shelby cleaned her tears, but Ava could sense her distress.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

"I- I a-m co-nfused, A-va. I k-now that I want him, but I -"

Ava did not urge her and just waited for her to talk.

"I don’t know what came over me. I asked Ian about Aliya an-"

"Oh, Shelby, why would you do that?"

"I- I don’t know Ava. At the back of my mind, I know that I do not have to worry, but I ended up cutting my hair and changing my shower products so there are no similarities to her. I feel like her shadow lingers over me. Deep inside, I had expected him to be dismissive of her when I brought the Aliya name up, but he was indecisive instead- "

"I know and understand all you have said, Shelby, but I still don’t see the problem."

"So, what if he is indecisive about a woman who is no more? Huh?" Ava turned into mother mode.

"Was Aliya ever his wife?"

"No, but he loved her!"

"And? People have many love relationships in their lives and that is why we have the word ’first love.’"

Shelby sighed, twisting the corner of her attire.

"She is dead, Miss!" Suzie chipped in.

"Thanks, Suzie. Now, tell me why you are fighting over your man with a dead woman?"

"But, he stayed inside for two whole years for her..."

"... and Ian came out for you! What else do you want, Shelby?"

Ava said, getting slightly frustrated but still staying patient with her friend.

"If you were going to be to him, you should have let Brianna have him because I know she wouldn’t mind even if he has had ten thousand marriages!"

"I know, Ava. I am in the wrong this time, but-"

"But, what? You have this man who seems like he would turn the world over for you. I know he must have had a hand in James’s predicament."

Shelby’s heart skipped a beat.

’Does Ava know something?’

"If Ian didn’t, I know that no one could have touched James as the only in-law of the Thornstons."

’Oh, she doesn’t. That scared me for a bit!’

"So, get those silly thoughts out of your mind. If Ian is as I think he is, then he will give you the appropriate response later. Let the man heal. He has taken the first step in this and made the relationship kind of official. The contract is no more in existence, so he wants you to do this out of your free will."

"Suzie, get my precious wedding gift: the crotchless panty."

Suzie sprung into action. "While you are at it, get one of those cup-less bras as well."

"What are you doing, Ava?"

"Rectifying the problem."

Ava shoved her into the bathroom.

"Change into them and come out within the next minute."

Shelby reluctantly did that.

She came out with one hand on her breasts and the other on her pussy.

Suzie blushed, and Ava nodded, looking her up and down and appreciating the finished product.

"Suzie, touch up her makeup!"

It did not take long before Suzie had this done. They worked swiftly and helped Shelby put on a see-through robe as well.

Ava gently pulled Shelby because she understood her sentiments very well. She brought her to the front of Ian’s room.

Shelby looked at her nervously.

"You don’t need me to show you what you must do, right?"

Shelby shook her head and whispered softly as her heart thundered lightly in her chest, "I know." The thought of how he had kissed her earlier made her start to feel hot.

"I like him, and I want to do this!" She muttered to herself.

"Now, go and fuck the man’s brains out!... and don’t you dare come out tonight...and even tomorrow if possible!" Ava said, taking a step back and crossing her arms.

Suzie’s eyes widened at the blunt words, and she gave a thumbs up from the back.
