Novel Update
BITCH
“Please endeavor to take your medicines and have some rest also, hmm..” Aurora advised as she stepped out of the pharmacy together with Layla.
“I will, thanks for your concern..” Layla flashed a smile at Aurora as they walked to where Aurora’s car was parked.
“By the way, I’ll be taking driving lessons during the weekend..” Layla informed Aurora happily.
“I see, are you getting a car?”
“Nahh, my boss told me to learn, I think he is going to get me one..” Layla reasoned. It would be so much better to get a car, sometimes public transportations was so tiring.
“Wow, that’s great, I can teach you if you want to learn, or better still we can ask Regan..” Aurora suggested.
“No need, I’m not sure yet, I think he’s probably going to arrange for someone to teach me..”
“Alright babe, make sure you take good care of yourself..”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“I will…” Layla chuckled at her friend’s overprotectiveness; she couldn’t count how many times Aurora had told her to take care of herself today.
“Good and I’m always here if you need someone to talk to..” Aurora added.
“I will..”
“I know something is eating you up Layla..” Aurora began as they both stopped walking.
“Wha.. t?” Layla stammered in surprise.
“I’m your best friend, so I can tell if something is wrong with you. You’ve definitely changed a lot since you returned from that trip..”
“It’s okay if you don’t feel like spilling, just know I’m here for you anytime..” Aurora assured.
She would always be there for her.
The moment Layla arrived and started crying, Aurora knew at once that something was wrong.
“Thanks I wi..”
“And if it isn’t the whore herself..” a cold steel voice sounded and they both turned to see scarlet standing there, all dolled up with a smirk on her face.
“Scarl.. et?” Layla spluttered as she suddenly went pale. What was Scarlet doing here in New York?
“I knew I would definitely find you in one of these hospitals..” she chuckled, arranging her hair.
“What are you doing here?” Layla asked in surprise.
“What am I doing here?” She scoffed in contempt.
“I’m here for you of course, to shame you!” She fired at her.
Scarlet was so angry when a handsome man stood up for Layla and how she got humiliated instead.
She had swore to make Layla pay, that was why she followed her here.
“I told mom and dad that you’re here in New York, look Layla, dad is very disappointed in you, he doesn’t even want to see your face!” She glared.
Their father Markos was very disappointed when he learned that Layla ran away from home with an unwanted pregnancy.
“I’ve come here to start a life and destroy yours..” she threatened, throwing a menacing glare at Layla.
“What have I ever done to you, scarlet? Why are you treating me this way?” Layla questioned sadly.
Scarlet used to be the perfect big sister anyone would ask for. She was so nice to her, despite Rosalie tauntings but everything just changed in a twinkle of an eye.
“Your existence alone has done something to me”
“Each time we went somewhere, all the men were attracted to you and not me, it’s not that you’re even pretty, they only look at you..”
“And then Mike, I’ve loved him for a very long time and when I finally got the chance to get close to him, he only looked at you and the both of you ended up dating. I was in pain!” She drew out angrily.
“Then why don’t you go to him, look scarlet, I’m no longer angry, you can have Mike all to yourself..” Layla stated. All she wanted was for scarlet to leave or things could really get messy of she stayed
“I don’t want him anymore Layla, he’s history now..” she deadpanned. She no longer had use for Mike, instead she wanted the man she saw with Layla. She couldn’t just allow her to have all the good looking men in the world.
Never! Come to think of it, that man was smoking hot.
“Then how does that affect me? I don’t want him either, so please leave me alone!” Layla spelled out painstakingly. She wanted to be free from all their troubles.
“How did you even find me?” She sighed, running her hands through her hair.
“Determination..”
“Determination was what took me to find you and I did..” Scarlet said. She had already settled down in New York and she would make sure to find out where Layla stays and works. Then she would find that smoking hot man.
“Why are you so determined in making me miserable, please leave me alone!” Layla begged. She wanted to be free. Free from them all. They Brought nothing but pain to her.
“Because you were born, we were such a happy family, everyone fixed their attention only on me. I was daddy’s little girl. Then you just appeared out of nowhere to take all the attention away..” scarlet expressed. The moment Layla stepped into their house everything changed for her.
“Father diverted his attention to you, you stole the spotlight in all the places we visited, all the boys wanted you..”
“Accept it scarlet, Layla is better than you! You were just jealous all along” Aurora chimed in sarcastically.
Even before she moved to New York, she never liked Scarlet.
“Oh no…” scarlet shook her head.
“She’s not. At least I didn’t get pregnant out of wedlock..” she mocked as Layla just stared at her.
“But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a cheap woman, you’re so cheap that no mam spares a glance at you that you had to resort to stealing people’s boyfriends..” Aurora fired at her.
“Shut up!!” Scarlet yelled pointing at Aurora as she fumed in anger.
“This is between Layla and her, don’t even dare interfere..” she warned.
“Oh I will..”
“Layla’s my best friend and the fact she doesn’t know how to speak up for herself and just allow people to bully her does not mean I would do the same, if you ever dare say nonsense about her, I promise to beat you to a pulp..” Aurora threatened.
“And trust me, you wouldn’t even be able to steal people’s boyfriends with the face you’ll get after I’m done with you..”
“Bitch!! Come Layla, let’s get out of this infectious place…” she said holding Layla’s hand as she dragged her away from there.
