Veronica gave him a wicked grin before saying, "Well, one is a certified bitch and other is a freaking bastard… Now tell me, don't they make a good couple together??"
Reuben took his own time to arrange her words in his head and when he finally did, he broke into a fit of laughter.
Tightening his arms around her, Reuben replied, "You're actually quite right about that. They are indeed a great couple in bitchiness."

After the dance, everyone stepped down of the stage while Myra excused herself from everyone so that she could go to the washroom.
Unbeknownst to her another person kept following her all the way. Myra entered the washroom and was about to close the door when someone kept a foot in middle, blocking her from locking the door..
Myra raised her head up to see the face of the person who tried to stop her but then her face changed its colour immediately, making it pale.
He entered the washroom along with Myra and locked the door behind them, making Myra shriek in fear, "What the hell Cole!! Why did you lock the door? I'm telling you to just get out of here otherwise I'll shout.."
Cole didn't flinch even a little bit at her threats and pushed her to the nearest wall, trapping her petite frame under his strong one.
"Why did you do that?" Cole asked, fire was evident in his eyes.
Though Myra knew about what Cole was talking about but still she decided to play the game and asked back, "What are you talking about? I can't understand anything..."
"Don't you dare to play these games with me Myra. You very well know what I'm talking about. But still for your satisfaction, let me ask you directly line by line...word by word…
Why were you sticking to that Jack? Why were you holding his hand and dancing with him with a big smile on your face? Most of the all, why were you ignoring me continuously as we've never met each other before. For God's sake, we are a couple." Cole burst out in rage.
Without replying anything, Myra just started laughing hard, making Cole more confused at her sudden change of behaviour.
After controlling her laughter, Myra shot a deep glare in his eyes and said, "First of all, we are not anymore a couple but some ex lovers. Past is past and everyone has to move on. I've already moved on from you, now it's your time also to move on from me and have a happy life...
And about my personal matters...like whom I'm sticking to or holding hands…it's completely my decision. No one has the right to interfere in between my matters, specially you. I'll not allow you to push your decisions on me as you're nothing but a horrible past of mine."
Her flaring words were like a pricking stone for Cole which was piercing his heart like a sharp needle and giving him immense pain internally by making his heart bleed continuously...
Taking a deep and long breath, Cole asked softly, "Why are you doing this to me? You know this very well that how much I love you. Don't do this to me please. Don't break my heart so brutally by pushing me out of your life. I'm already repenting on my actions and dying everyday without you. Now if you also leave me, I won't be alive anymore.."
Each words that come uttered truly surprised Myra as she never had expected Cole to behave so vulnerably.
Pain and hurt were evident in his voice but the betrayal she had felt for him in the past overshadowed the tranquility of his words.
Myra looked at Cole's eyes deeply before saying, "Just like how are you begging me now, I also begged you like this one day to believe me but you never did. And here you're talking about me leaving you..???
Well let me remind you Mr. Cole Parker that it was you who broke me with your insulting words, you left me by distrusting me. And you're also the one who cheated on me…"
"No…. I never cheated on you. I can never even think of cheating on you for my whole life." Cole shouted on the top of his lungs while shaking his head vigorously while a small drop of rear fell from his left eye.
Myra jerked behind a little getting scared with his sudden roar and asked while stuttering, "Wha…what do you mean? You haven't cheated on me? But…but I saw you and that girl with my own eyes…on your bed wrapped in a blanket na..n.a.k.e.d…"
The last word came like almost a whisper from her mouth.
Cole closed his eyes to calm his breath and said in a low pitch voice, "What you had witnessed that day was a short drama which I had implemented for you. I was not n.a.k.e.d that day nor I was having s.e.x with that girl...
I was so much angry with your betrayal that I thought of making you taste your own medicine, completely oblivious to the fact that you were completely innocent...
I hired that girl and told her to act like we were having s.e.x. She was fully clothed in a shoulderless tube top to make it look like she was n.a.k.e.d whereas I just pulled off my shirt from my body but my pants were on...
When I heard the honk of your car, we started the acting and behaved like m.o.a.ning and groaning so that you could misjudge our situation and it was a huge success on you. But I didn't know that my one impulsive decision would make you hate me so much that it'd be the biggest mistake of my life.."
Myra covered her eyes as tears started to pour out from her eyes. She still couldn't place all the words in her mind that Cole had just now stated.
Cole's sudden confession had fallen on her like a nuclear bomb which made her heart shattered into pieces once more..
However, suddenly another thought hit her mind like a bolt of lightning as she asked, "Then what about Regina? Why didn't you punish her for her vicious plans?"
