Chapter 1 The Heartbreak
"I haven't been in a place like this before" Layla said, looking around the dazzling and bustling room with wide eyes.She clutched a small glass of alcohol, Chanel had called it Tequila or something.Layla didn't like it since it burned her throat and left her chest hot whenever she took a sip of it.
"Come on, loosen up a little bit, princess Layla, you will soon be frequenting bars if your business partners require it" Chanel said."I hope they don't, I'm already having a headache just looking at the lights and the harsh drinks, my eyes are already woozy" the two girls giggled at her statement.Albert stared at them, an obscure look in his eyes.A few minutes later, Layla began to notice changes in her body , she was feeling hotter than before, she felt like her head was spinning around." I think I'm drunk, can we please go home?" Layla breathed to Albert, her breath was hot on his skin and even her body was hot to touch."Ok, just try to close your eyes and sleep, we are leaving"Albert said, using his hands to close her eyes.Layla nodded and leaned her eyes.When she opened her eyes again, she found out that she was in a dark room, the room didn't look like any of the rooms in their home but she was too dazed to know that .Her body was burning hotter and she cried in fear "Albert! Albert!! Where are you?!" Layla stumbled out of the room, upon noticing that she was in a corridor that has countless doors, her dazed brain cleared a bit.She headed towards the elevator but found out that someone was in it.The elevator singed and a tall man dressed in a black suit walked out.Layla held onto him with a dazed look on her face "sir, have you seen Albert...urgh I'm so hot"The man himself held onto Layla tightly, a look of disgust on his face but he tried so hard not to let it show."Are you the call girl he sent to me? I can't believe that Gaius is becoming so lazy nowadays, who asked him to bring such an ugly and dirty person" he said, Layla herself was too burned up to hear or understand what the man was saying, she just rubbed on his body in a dazed manner."And drugged too" he remarked with an annoyed look on his face.Unknown to them, a camera in the dark captured their close positions eagerly.He asked and carried Layla on his head, taking her to a room.© ©Layla's face turned pale as she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.She was seated in a taxi, reeking of sweat, sex and beer, the thoughts of what she had done last night filling her head.The grueling and guilty thoughts that she had cheated on her faithful husband broke her heart, she was almost sobbing in the car."Calm down ma, your husband might understand" the taxi driver who had created a lot of scenarios in his head said with a pitiful glance Layla didn't answer him, she just bent her and typed on her phone furiously.Another text and Albert still hadn't replied her With her heart in her hands, Layla alighted from the taxi which had stopped in front of her house.With shaky steps she walked into the house, noticing that the door was slightly ajar, she claimed through the stairs quietly, about to get into the room but a voice stopped her from going any further.They were moans , loud moans from 2 very familiar voices.Layla covered her mouth with her hands as she watched her best friend and husband have passionate sex on the sofa of the sitting room, the same sofa she had carefully picked out while shopping for her home things with her husband.Tears rolled down her cheeks and she screamed "what are you two doing...how could you..." she trailed off and broke into tears.The two of them separated quickly and looked at her in shock"Honey, it's not what you...""Why are you trying to appease her...why will she feel hurt when she did the same thing to you" Chanel, her best friend said, flipping her head.Layla couldn't believe what she was hearing "it was all a mistake, I drank too much and next thing I woke up, I was beside that man, I don't really know what happened" Layla tried to explain guiltily.She noticed that Albert looked down guilty when she said this, his eyes looking at everywhere else except her face.A realization dawned on her, the series of events that happened last night flashed through her mind."You guys set me up! I could remember...I clearly asked to be taken home!" Layla screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.Chanel burst into laughter, her naked breast shaking with every of her movements."You are so innocent Layla, the fact is that you slept with another man who isn't your husband and nothing can justify that, you are a cheating scum" "What about you who is sleeping with my husband , when did you guys start having sex, I trusted you Albert!" She screamed."No need to talk anymore, sign the divorce papers and we will go our different ways" Albert said, flinging the stack of papers on her face.It made a slapping sound and fell on the ground.With tears dripping down her cheeks, Layla bent down and picked up the papers.She flipped through it and immediately refused when she saw the terms and conditions and the way the properties were split."I can't agree to this, the company is the only thing my parents left , it's a family business, I can't give it to you" Layla protested."But you have no choice Layla, I've already drawn up the divorce papers and I'm not changing anything on it" Albert said determinedly Chanel scoffed and walked towards Layla, she yanked away the divorce papers from her hands and whispered."If you don't want to sign a divorce papers, then...we will meet in the court"
