BESTSELLER
“You shouldn’t have done that..” Layla voiced out the moment they got into Aurora’s car.
“Done what?” Aurora scoffed in disbelief.
“What you did, you’re only going to anger scarlet..” Layla Stated. She didn’t want someone to come for her. Because scarlet would definitely not sit back.
“And so f*cking what!!!” Aurora’s voice thundered in the car.
“Let her get angry for all I care, she can kill herself if she wants, I don’t care!!” Aurora emphasized.
Layla took it so lightly with people. That was why she was always the victim.
She did not know how to stand up for herself. Aurora and Regan always did that for her back in high school. Then there was Rosalie, the evil stepmother.
Who was also out to make Layla’s life miserable but never did Layla once complain. She just suffered silently.
“Enough is enough Layla!!”
“You need to stop being like this, you’re going to be a mother soon, if you can’t stand up for yourself, how are you going to stand up for your child?” Aurora drilled. She didn’t understand the fact why Layla couldn’t see the need to be strong.
“Aurora, she can expose my secret..” Layla voiced out and that was the last thing she wanted.
“Let her do so..” Aurora shrugged her shoulders.
“What’s the worst that can happen? You’re not going to hide the pregnancy forever, so?”
“If your boss denies the child, he can go to hell!!”
“You don’t need him, he doesn’t deserve you. If he does, he will believe you. You’re the most decent lady I know..” she pointed out.
“You have my support Layla, I’m here for you. So stop working on how to please people by displeasing yourself. You’re no longer a teenager.
You’re 21 for f*ck sake and you’re going to be a mom..”
“So stop chickening out..” Aurora sighed deeply as she started the car.
Layla had never seen her this angry before. This was literally the first time she was witnessing this.
….
….
“I’ll get it..” Aurora dashed to the door to see who was knocking as Layla ate her breakfast.
“Good morn..” her smile instantly fell the moment she saw the person at the door.
The last person she ever imagined she would see.
“What are you doing here?” She asked coldly.
“Hi Aurora..” Xander waved jovially at her.
“Don’t wave at me, we’re not friends..” she snapped coldly.
What the hell was he doing on her porch?
She had sworn that the next time they met she would murder him.
“You still haven’t changed a bit…” he shook his head smiling at her.
“I have, not just towards you. I will not ask again. What are you doing in my house..” she questioned in a cold steel voice.
“I came for Layla, not you..”
“What do you want her for?” She snapped.
Then she recollected that Xander worked under Layla’s boss, that must be the reason why he should be at her House.
“I came to pick her up, now if you would excuse me..” he made his way inside the house but Aurora quickly blocked his way.
“I see you still have the nerve to walk into my house. Are you sure you came only for Layla?” She raised a brow at him and he chuckled.
“Look Aurora..” he began fixing his brown eyes on her.
“I had no idea you lived here, trust me..”
“How would you, when all you do is go around looking for women to deceive..” she fired.
“You were also a player Aurora…” he pointed out, seeing no justification or whatsoever for her anger towards him.
“You toyed with men also. I thought we were just having fun..” he shrugged his shoulders as she shot a hard glare at him.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“You took my innocence..” she gritted her teeth in anger.
“How would I know that it was your first time? Besides who would have thought that the loud Aurora was still a virgin” he emphasized in the word loud.
“Get out!” She suddenly said pointing at the door.
“I didn’t come for you..” he smiled warmly.
“I hate you..”
“I know hun but I can make you change your perspective..” he winked mischievously at her.
“Just…” Aurora groaned, raising her hands in the air.
“Aurora…” Layla called as she approached them.
“Hi Layla..” he waved at her.
“Hey..” she waved back.
“You came earlier than I expected..” she stated. She didn’t expect Nolan to send him to her place so soon.
“Well I have something to deal with, so I just wanted to wrap this up, you ready?”
“Sure, I am…”
“Bye babe..” she hugged Aurora.
“I’ll miss you so much..” Aurora pouted. It would be so boring without Layla.
“Me too, but I promise to come visit..”
“Alright..” Aurora inhaled sharply, releasing herself from the hug.
“I’ll get going now..”
“Wait..” Aurora stopped her from moving as she held her hand.
“What?”
“I have something for you…” she Informed dashing inside the house. Few minutes later she returned with a laptop.
“Wait my laptop..” Layla chuckled on seeing her laptop.
“Hmm hmm, here have it..” Aurora handed over the laptop to Layla.
“Why are you giving me this?” She catechized.
The last time she opened this laptop to write was in Seattle and that was about a month ago.
“So you can continue from where you stopped..”
“Don’t tell me you’ve given up on your dreams on becoming a bestseller..”
“No, I just wanted to stop for now..”
“You don’t take a break when it comes to achieving your dreams Layla..” Aurora advised.
“But I..”
“No buts Layla..” Aurora interrupted.
“You should keep on doing something you love the most, one day you’ll get there..” she assuredly patted her cheeks.
“I’m in support too and I would love to read your book…” Xander chimed in.
“Shut up!!” Aurora glared daggers at him.
“Take it easy..” Layla laughed wondering why Aurora hated him this much.
“I hate him..” Aurora whispered to Layla who laughed.
“He’s a nice guy Aurora..”
“I don’t care..”
“Alright bye..” Layla waved again before heading towards Xander’s car.
