A Deal With The Millionaire

” Ma..’am ” Layla stuttered and Brielle’s smirk only widened the more. ” We meet again Layla ” Brielle called her by her name and that made her scared a bit.

” How did you know this place? ” Layla asked surprisingly. ” Oh, you’re my husband’s secretary aren’t you?.. or let’s say secret lover and my replacement? ” She said shocking Layla the more.

” I.. ”

” You don’t have to say a word little woman. I would just say, stay away from my man! He’s mine and we’re married if you don’t know! So back off ” She said sternly and surprisingly, Layla only let out a scoff.

” See this.. ” She waved the fourth finger on her left hand, showing off an engagement ring. ” You remember this ring? ” She asked mockingly and Brielle raised her brows.

” Obviously not. This ring.. was inserted into my finger on our wedding day. Or let’s say.. your wedding day. I got the ring, I got the wedding, I got to say the vows and he said the vows to me but you… You got Shane? No! He’s mine and it’s fvcking obvious he’s filing a divorce soon. He loves you not woman! He’s mine and I don’t have to prove this, he might enjoy your meals for now but he’s gonna come back to mama ” She said confidently taking Brielle by shock.

She was shocked Layla could talk back at her. ” And you should leave now and go cook now since it’s now your job. He doesn’t like late meals, it’s almost 7pm. He should be almost back from work by now ” Layla said and walked back in after banging the door behind her at Brielle’s face.

” And.. ” She stepped out again and Brielle was still in the same position she had left her. She moved closer to Brielle who unconsciously moved back in fear.

” Enjoy him why it lasts ” She whispered with a smirk before walking back in.

Layla walked back in and Mirah gave her thumbs up. ” Gosh, I’m really crazy. Why did I say those words!? ” Layla snapped at herself and Mirah chuckled.

” Come on, it’s the right thing. You couldn’t watch her make you feel intimidated by her words ” Mirah said.

” But.. ”

” Come on, you didn’t do nothing wrong. You only put her in her place ” Mirah cut her off and she let out a sigh.

Brielle was more than shocked at Layla’s boldness when she said those words but they did hit her at the right spot. Her words got to her.

She got into her car and her driver drove her off while Layla’s words rang in her ears. ” Enjoy him while it lasts ” Her words rang in her ears.

” What did she mean by that? She talked about divorce too, Had Shane told her he was going to file a divorce? ” She asked restlessly.

” He’s not going to divorce me right? He said he understood me and we were fine. He wouldn’t divorce me right? ” She thought still restless as her driver drove off.

She was still in thoughts when she got home. She walked into the mansion unconscious of what she was doing but she could see where she was heading to. She was in deep thoughts.

” Hey ” She heard Shane’s voice and that jolted her out of her thoughts. ” Huh? ” She asked Shane unconsciously. ” What are you doing? ” Shane asked confusedly. It was then Brielle realized she was actually heading towards the kitchen Instead.

” Oh, nothing ” She muttered as she snapped out of her unconsciousness.

” When did you arrive? ” She asked as she walked over to Shane who was seated in the dinning room. ” Some minutes ago. Where were you? ” Shane asked.

” I went to Layla’s apartment ” She blurted out without thinking shocking the hell out of Shane. ” Huh? ” Shane asked in shock.

It was then she realized what she said. She let out a scoff anyways. ” What? You think I wouldn’t find out? ” She asked and Shane looked away from her gaze.

” You two are really dating right? ” Brielle asked but he kept mute. ” You don’t love her right? You love me instead.. right? ” Brielle asked getting impatient but Shane gave no answer again. He only looked at her with a sigh.

” Brielle.. ”

” Answer the damn question!!” Brielle asked angrily and Shane was suprised to see her in tears. ” Brielle.. ” He called slowly.

” It’s true right!!? That you love her instead of me. You are planning on divorcing me and going to her! Right!? ” She asked angrily, in tears.

Shane was suprised to hear her say those words and for the fact that she cried, it really hurt her. He stood up and walked over to her. He pulled her into a tight hug. She didn’t struggle as she hugged him tightly, letting her tears wet his clothes.

” Tell me it’s not true.. please ” She muttered still in tears. ” It’s not ” Shane muttered, patting her back slowly. ” But she.. she said it herself. She said you were going to leave me ” Brielle muttered and Shane raised his brows.

” Who? ” He asked. ” Layla ” Brielle muttered and Shane was suprised. Why would Layla say such a thing when she knows it’s going to hurt Brielle’s feelings.

” It’s not.. it’s not true ” He assured her and she pulled away. ” Really? ” She asked and he nodded again. She looked up slowly to his lips. ” Can I.. can I kiss you? ” She asked slowly and Shane nodded.

She was suprised at first but she was happy he finally agreed. With this, she smashed her lips on his and sucked deeply and roughly on his lips. He took him a while before responding slowly and she was more than happy.

** Next Day **

* A private restaurant *

” You won’t say anything right? ” Shane asked Layla who only sipped her drink quietly as the wind blew some strands of her hair to her face. Layla let out a sigh and dropped her drink.

” Really? You’re supporting her now? ” She asked with a scoff. ” Layla, why are you being like this? I clearly told you it’s gonna take a bit of time before I really explain things to her. But now, I have to let her be at rest. She had been struggling and working so hard to retain her dad’s company, she’s probably stressed out. I don’t want to stress her the more with this ” Shane said and Layla raised her brows at him.

” And why do you care so much about her? Cause she’s your wife? But do you care about my feelings.. do you know how I feel seeing that I might really stand no chance against her. She might probably be for you and I might just be the loser! ” Layla snapped.

” And I assured you that you won’t. Cause I love you. Come on, don’t be like this ” Shane said and Layla scoffed.

” It shows really clearly that you love her more than you love me ” She muttered and Shane sighed.

” Layla.. ”

” Why else would you confront me for saying those words to her! ” She raised her voice a bit.

” Cause you hurt her feelings with those words! You made her cry! Come on, that’s not you! ” Shane also raised his voice.

” She started it first! She told me to stay away from you! ” Layla shouted back, fortunately they are the only one in the restaurant.

” That was only a threat and I don’t see how that’s supposed to hurt you. It was just a mere word and I’m sure they didn’t get to you at all but you had to say those words. You even told her I was planning on filing a divorce! ” Shane shouted.

” Can you stop caring about her feelings only and care about mine for once!!! Do you know how hurt and jealous when I saw you eat her food! She even lives in the same house as you and I’m damn sure she sleeps on the same bed as you! She even kisses you twice! Shane!! ” She yelled in tears and that seemed to make him calm down. He let out a sigh as he relented and looked away instead.

” Shane.. You’re hurting me with every single thing you do with her and I didn’t mean to say those words to her, she caused it and I didn’t know it was going to hurt her feelings ” She muttered as she wiped her tears.

” You don’t even wanna look at me ” She muttered sadly.

” It really feels like I’m the one losing here ” She muttered sadly.
