The Grand Mistress

The night went on and the tres marias went berserk all over Lucy's apartment. Bottles of liquor were all over the floor and Lucy had been singing like a mad woman. Simione was lying on the sofa, obsessing herself with some chips while Gabriella was dancing and occasionally joining Lucy with her singing.

"Aish you girls sucks!" Simione's ears were already irritated at their crooked singing. Her face was red like the two other women in the room. Lucy had a beautiful voice but when she's drunk, she acted like a mad rockstar and Simione hated it.

"Hey now! Hey now!"- Lucy

"Yoh! Yoh! Hey now!" Gabriella

The Monteria heiress was enjoying the song Lucy sang and she mimicked her. However in the middle of her singing, she felt something rising over her stomach and she felt like she was about to throw up. Immediately she ran into the bathroom and started vomiting.

"Gabriella! How dare you leave me doing a concert alone!" Lucy called on her only to realize she was already in the bathroom. She followed her there with a bottle in her hand and watched her struggling in the bathroom.

"Go girl! I'll support you right here!" She said as if encouraging the Monteria heiress to vomit more. Soon, the sound of Gabriella vomiting turned into cries. She had an upset stomach, a broken heart and some resentments on her family that right then things just got too much and she cried the nth time again since their drinking session started.

"I hate you Erwan! You said you love me! F*ck you!" She wailed, knees on the bathroom's floor. She held her head as some headache added up to her frustration.

"Here…" Lucy gave her the bottle she was drinking into. "You need more of this,"

Without hesitation, Gabriella took the bottle and drank from it. After a big gulp, she wiped her mouth with her arms and cried again. 

"How dare you Erwan Zhao! You fuck my sister behind my back!" She was cursing and occasionally laughing at how stupid she had been "What's with Angelisa that you had to hurt me for her? Was it because she gave you her flower? Damn you! You should have told me I am very willing to give mine!"

Hearing it, Lucy pointed a finger on her head and pushed it. "Foolish! A cheater is always a cheater, even if you give your flower to him, he'll still find some other flowers, more big and beautiful than yours!"

"Mine is awesome!" Gabriella defended while pointing a finger in between her thigh. Shameless. She was drunk and only then Lucy realized she can be as shameless as this at the influence of liquor.  "He should have tried mine instead huhuhu!"

"I hate you Erwan! I hate you!" she added. "Didn't you know I had saved this flower for you for many years? How dare you share yours with someone else! Oh I forgot. It was not just someone else, it was Angelisa, my dear younger sister!"

"Eh Gabie! What are you talking about? Erwan doesn't have a flower! Ewww!" Lucy was disgusted suddenly by Gabriella's confessions. She knew how modest and conservative Gabriella  was and yet all the things like she was narrating then were all too cringey. Imagine keeping yourself pure for someone as jerk as Erwan Zhao? What's good with that man rather than his face? "What he have is a small...small...small" Lucy raised her pinky finger in front of Gabriella's face, "Small thing like this,"

"You wouldn't even feel any pleasure with it so don't cry over it cause it's only pinky finger worth," Lucy added, amused with her description. She ended up laughing at the end. 

"Lucy your mouth!" Simione reprimanded from the sofa she was lying on, still eating chips. She had this habit of overly eating any food on the table whenever she gets drunk and so that time she was only listening to Lucy and Gabriella's filthy and cringey conversation about men and heartbreaks while chewing her chips.

"Really Lucy?" Gabriella seemed confused but she realized Lucy must be telling the truth. When they were in college, before they became close, the singer had been rumoured that she had hooked up with almost all the good looking men in their university and she thought the singer might have indeed some experiences with her ex-fiancee. "Did you perhaps?"

"Na-ah" Lucy denied in an instant. She was already drunk but she can still process what they had been conversing about. "I think I saw his when I went to the men's shower room back in the university,"

Thinking about her reason, Lucy's words might be true. She was known for making outrageous things and intrusions to places she was not allowed to like the men's lockers and shower room and so her words seemed believable to Gabriella. Did her friend really see it?

The Monteria heiress raised her pinky finger and scrutinized it shamelessly. Unconvinced, she raised her pinky finger to Lucy as if doing a pinky swear and asked again, "Just this big?"

"Yes.I'm sure. So don't cry over it," Lucy took the bottle from her and drank. "If I were you, to make the waiting worthwhile, find someone with a big...big...you know...thing," She intentionally put emphasis on the word BIG. "Remember you are already twenty eight. A twenty eight year old virgin,"

"No no no Lucy!" Gabriella shook her head trying to dismiss her friend's proposition. "My family will throw me out if they find out I had done such an outrageous thing. I can't just hook up with anyone,"

"But Angelisa can?" Lucy pointed. "The Monteria's didn't abandon her. If I were to say, you were actually the one being abandoned. Look at you, here, hiding in my house for forever while Angelisa was already planning her wonderful marriage with your ex-fiancee"

Gabriella wanted to cry with the truth that Lucy splashed on her. However, her tears had run dry already and so she vomited instead. It was the first time she had gotten herself soo drunk and so the liquor struck her head and stomach hard. 

"I don't want to sire a baby like Angelisa did," Gabriella dismissed the thought and said it while her face was still in the sink, ready for another batch of vomit. "I hate babies. I started hating babies since Angelisa and her twin Evangelina was born,"

"Aish! Stupid Gabriella! Stupid!" Lucy mocked her. "There are many ways to avoid it. Reproductive health, remember? It was clearly taught in college. You saying that only makes it obvious that we are copying answers from Simione that's why we were able to graduate"

"I know there are many ways to prevent it and hello, I studied well in college although I admit I'm still copying Simione's answer sometimes. Right Sisi? That was only...sometimes" She waited for Simione to answer but since the latter's mouth was full, she was not able to say anything but just grumbled. "I know there are many ways to not get pregnant, but thinking that Angelisa was not able to prevent her pregnancy, I'm not sure of the efficacy,"

"Angelisa got pregnant because she intended to get pregnant not because she missed her pill or any contraception" Lucy planted to her friend the suspicions she had. With what happened to Gabriella, it's impossible things just went on coincidentally. Lucy suspected that Angelisa planned it all along and went as far as getting herself impregnated so she could replace Gabriella's place. Afterall, Gabriella had always been envied by their relatives and part of those envy came from the fact that she was then the girlfriend of Erwan Zhao, an heir to a big conglomerate. This probably was the reason why Angelisa snatched Erwan from her unsuspecting sister.

"What are you trying to say Lucy?" Gabriella caught what she meant and wanted to clarify it.

"Im saying that Angelisa schemed against you and succeeded," 

"She didn't," Gabriella tried to dismiss the thought, "It might be just a mistake,"

"Truth hurts," Lucy snapped back. "No matter how much you deny it, it was very obvious she planned this all along,"

The truth was that Gabriella herself had already been suspecting it ever since her ordeal happened. Afterall, the Zhao's were a big powerful family and this was one of the reasons why the Monteria elders were so welcoming to him. She once gained all the elders' approval because of relationship with Erwan and not that they broke up, they all shifted their focus and attention from her to her sister Angelisa in an instant, as if the latter didn't make any mistake. Now that she became Zhao's ex-girlfriend, her importance in the Monteria family abated. She was no longer the money magnet as right then, she had no rich man she could bring to the Monteria family.

"She had always been jealous with you," Lucy added more of her conclusions. "You always get what you want and like because you were the girlfriend of Erwan Zhao previously. Angelina felt so jealous of the amount of attention you were getting and so she did this so she can replace you. "You now the old saying goes, like mother, liked daughter"
