Chapter 3: Love at first site.

Layla Mayor's pov.

(1 month ago)

"Look babey it's not what it looks like,

Gosh Edwin get dressed and get the fuck out!

Read the fucken room, she's my wife!?!"

Said my fiancé Rebecca Williams,

Who was naked under a naked man on my bed.

Becca had told a huge muscular looking hunk to get off her.

The guy didn't need to be told twice, he looks like one of those guys that women flocked too, very attractive.

"It's Erin!

So you married Rebbs? MARRIED?

Unbelievable!

What happened to loving me?

Or you said all those things all those months to get into my pants?"

Asked Erin in disbelief.

He was getting dressed and she just kept looking at me.

I suddenly felt my vision blur for a bit and I felt dizzy with rage.

"So you were using me after all?

I defended you and cut off my family and friends because,

They kept disrespecting you calling you a gold digging slut.

I feel so humiliated for being the idiot who put a ring on you dirty finger."

I said looking at Rebecca in a new light.

The angel I had fell for was gone,

infront of me was Satan himself in flesh,

Inside a woman's body.

"B-Babey I'm so sorry, I love you so much!

I swear it was just physical!"

Said Rebecca as she put her silk red robe on.

She approached me pitiful and fell to her knees.

She bent over to lie on my feet and hugged my legs sniffling.

"Physical?

Just Physical? What the hell are you taking about Rebbs?

We only started sleeping together last month after 8 months of dating!

I told you that I don't sleep around and you agreed to a relationship.

Did you even love me at all? Or you are serious about using me for my manhood?"

Asked Erin looking as broken as I felt.

Rebecca pretended he was a ghost and didn't respond.

Erin looked at me apologetically as I breathed loudly like a dragon,

About to burn everything infront of me.

"Erin is it? No hard feelings, if Becca can fool me for years than you didn't stand a chance."

I said and gave him a tight smile.

"I don't think I'll be able to trust a woman ever again.

Ribbs I hope you meet your match!

Go on pretend I'm invisible but it will hit you tomorrow,

When you try to call me and your call doesn't go through.

As for you lady, I would think twice about marrying this cheater."

Said Erin before finally leaving my house.

"Get off me before I hurt you.

You disgust me. Your touch now feels similar to that of a snake's."

I said my voice dripping with unfiltered venom.

Rebecca is not stupid. She unwrapped herself immediately and backed away.

"Give me back my family heirloom you witch!

Give me back my ring!"

I thundered loudly like a heavy storm and watched her take my grandmother's engagement ring off her finger,

trembling from fear.

I showed Rebecca my loving side but that wasn't enough for her.

Today she will see my horns and taste my claws.

She gave me the ring and held my hand shivering from fear.

Her eyes begged for mercy and forgiveness.

Which were items that were out off stock at the moment.

"Leave.

Everything is mine anyway so I expect you to not leave with anything.

Including that phone.

Here's some money to Uber back to your mom's house.

I'll let you leave with 1 set of clothes and shoes so pick them wisely."

I said as I glared openly at her not hiding my hatred and watched her silently get dressed.

"Layla this is not you babey.

You are angry and it's my fault.

I know you still love me and need time to forgive me-"

Said Rebecca before I harshly cut her off.

"Shut the fuck up you cheap bitch!

I don't fall inlove with loose women.

It's funny how you think I'll still want you after this.

Your body is filthy and I bet we are not the only people you've been sleeping with.

You have 1 minute to leave before I throw you out!"

I screamed loudly at the stranger who I almost married.

Rebecca rushed to dress and left not looking back.

My anger slowly turned into sadness and my eyes stung.

I couldn't believe the wedding was off and the love of my life betrayed me.

I definitely won't let this slide, the engagement is over.

I hate her so much because i wish things were different.

I wish I had come home to her being alone and kissed her like I always do.

I want to hold her and look into her eyes but if I were to see her face again,

I wouldn't see the one I once loved.

My chest felt unbearably painful and I wish I was strong enough to not cry.

The next day I felt like my life was completely worthless.

I decided to visit the only friend who stayed ,at his work.

Carson Cole, the CEO of Cole Enterprise.

I took a shawor and busted into tears instantly loathed myself for this weakness.

(Inner Voice)

Pull yourself together!

Had she really loved you she wouldn't of cheated!

(Inner voice quiet)

That's right.

I have to get ready and tell my friend everything,

And inform everyone I've invited that the wedding was off.

I can't explain the humiliation of returning things a week before the wedding.

I was done bathing and wore a black jump suit with black heels.

I wasn't in the mood to dress up but all I had left was my reputation.

I took my keys and my handbag and left to go see Carson Cole.

He smiled affectionately before frowning in concern.

"Layla love....what's wrong?"

He asked and I ran to him with my eyes dripping with tears.

And He opened his arms to embrace me.

It was like high school all over again, as I wrapped my hands around his neck.

I cried quietly into his chest and he rubbed my back in comfort.

"What the hell are y'all looking at?

I don't pay you'll to daydream get to work!?!!"

Said Carson Cole in a cold tone that made his employees flinch.

I heard key boards pressed and others answering phones that didn't even ring.

He held my hand in his and led me to the his office.

After I sat down I broke down shaking from an overwhelming sadness.

"Hey, hey, hey I'm here. I won't rush you for details but I'll be here to comfort you.

You like my sister Layla, you are hurting me by being hurt like this."

Said Carson's gentle voice with brotherly warmth.

I told him the whole story about catching Rebecca in bed with a man.

"I never liked that girl, atleast now I finally know why.

I only kept it civil for your sake. "

Said Carson pulling away from me before pacing up and down his office.

"Now that you've caught her I might as well tell you the truth.

Rebecca kissed me at your engagement party.

I pushed her back and she laughed seductively.

She insisted that it would be a secret and I would be missing out.

Ever since that day, I made sure not to cross paths with her.

I couldn't tell you either because you told our friends off when they experienced the same thing.

Not only that you ended your friendship with them.

I hated how happy Rebecca looked when she realized that I didn't tell you.

She mistaken my attempt to save my friendship with you,

As playing hard to get so she flirted with me every chance she got.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but she had you wrapped around her finger.

I was afraid she will twist the story and end our friendship."

Said Carson in one a heavy tone and exhaled in relief after talking.

I was a fool inlove and my friends paid for it.

"I'm sorry."

I said feeling embarrassed that Carson Cole went through all of that.

I was embarrassed that I made no room for him to tell me he was suffering,

Because Rebecca took a liking to him.

I'm Lesbian but I'm not blind. Carson Cole was prettier than most girls.

He was handsome but leaned towards the cute pretty side.

We sat side by side and chatted about fun times,

Those times we pranked people and I laughed hard.

I was feeling slightly better but felt my heart stop beating in my chest.

When the most magistic being entered Carson's Cole office without knocking.

This must be the famous Vanessa Dove that Carson wouldn't shut up about.

He went on about the company stand standing because of her.

I thought he was exaggerating because he liked her.

I couldn't take my eyes off her as I scanned her head to toe.
