A Deal With The Millionaire

” Layla.. ” Shane called sadly and hurtfully. ” Please. Please let’s do this ” She muttered and he let out a sigh. ” Is it what you really want? We could fix things, you know? We don’t have to break apart. I promised to amend things and set things straight and right and I would. Please.. ” Shane pleaded but she shook her head.

” It’s what I want. I’m sorry ” She muttered and Shane shut his eyes hurtfully as he tries to prevent his tears from falling. He looked up at her and Layla had to hide her hurt look. She knew Shane wouldn’t be okay and he would definitely feel hurt but she only wants the best for him. She feels she’s not good enough for him.

” Shane, please. Let’s just put an end to this. You should love Brielle instead, she’s your wife. Try to love her please ” Layla pleaded but Shane shook his head.

” Is she the one that told you to do this!? Is she threatening you? ” Shane asked as more tears rolled down his cheeks.

” Shane.. ”

” Layla I love you! ” Shane raised his voice as tears rolled down his cheeks. He moved closer to her and held her hands. ” Please I love you. I don’t think I would be okay at all with us breaking apart please… ” He begged as more tears rolled down his cheeks.

” Shane.. ” He hugged her preventing her from talking. ” Please don’t say anything. Just calm down and let’s talk things out. Please ” He pleaded.

Layla released herself from his hold and he looked up at her. She wiped his tears slowly with her thumb. ” I’m sorry, please don’t cry. It hurts ” She muttered. ” So why are you leaving? You know too well we can’t do without each other. I know you love me so much just like I do and we can’t do without each other, so please ” He begged in tears but she shook her head.

” I love you ” Layla muttered. ” But I’m sorry, I really am. Please stay with Brielle, she sincerely loves you ” She muttered. Shane wiped his tears and then let out a sad sigh.

” It’s what you want right? ” He asked sadly and she nodded. ” I love you ” He muttered and pulled her to him swiftly. He pinned her tightly and smashed his lips on her roughly as he poured his frustration and sadness into the kiss. Layla responded with the same pace and they both kissed deeply.

Shane broke the kiss and let out a sad smile. ” If it’s what you want then okay ” He said and she smiled lightly. ” Thanks ” She muttered and he nodded.

” You wanna wait a bit or?… ”

” No, I should leave now ” Layla muttered and walked out of the restaurant. Shane sighed deeply as he watched her leave hurtfully. He hit his fist on the table frustratedly and angrily. Why would she suddenly want to break apart? He remembered how hard he had tried before he could get her and now he lost her again.

She’s always so quick to give up. He sighed again as he wiped a tear that was about to fall. He would have loved to have a drink or two to calm his nerves down but he wouldn’t want to get drunk.

He grabbed his car key and phone and walked out of the restaurant. He got into his car. ” Where to sir? ” His driver asked. ” My private estate ” He muttered and the driver nodded, he ignited the car’s engine and drove off.

** Shane’s Mansion **

” Where’s he? ” Brielle asked worriedly as he paraded in the sitting room. ” I’m sure it was Layla who called earlier. But he should be home by now right? ” She thought.

She couldn’t take it anymore, she grabbed her car key and her phone before rushing out of the mansion. She got into her car and drove off to Layla’s Apartment.

She got there and rushed to the door. She knocked gently at the door and some minutes later, Layla appeared with a puffy and red face. It looked like she had been crying and her look wasn’t something that showed she was okay or happy. She had an unhappy look on.

” Um, are you okay? ” Brielle found herself asking. She was suddenly getting worried. ” What do you want? ” Layla asked instead, ignoring her question.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

” Um where’s Shane? He hasn’t returned ever since ” She asked and Layla raised her brows like she was suprised. ” Really? I left him hours ago. This is.. ” She glanced at her phone to check what the time was.

” This is 10pm, I left him at around 7pm. Have you tried dialing his number? ” She asked and Brielle nodded. ” Yeah I did but he wouldn’t pick ” She replied.

” I guess he’s fine. He’s probably somewhere cooling off his head ” Layla muttered and Brielle raised her brows.

” Did something happen between you two? What is it? ” She asked curiously. ” What you’ve always wanted to happen, happened. We broke up, I guess you should be glad now since you can have him all to yourself and do take care of him please ” Layla said and made to walk in but Brielle stopped her as she held her hand.

Layla turned to her with a raised brow. ” Why did you do that? Why did you leave him? I thought you loved him? ” She asked and Layla let out an unbelievable scoff.

” And why should you care? It’s what you wanted. You wanted me to give up and release him for you and I did, I don’t think there should be any complaint ” Layla said and released herself from Brielle’s grip. She walked back inside leaving Brielle outside, strangely she was feeling weird and was a bit bothered.

This wasn’t what she was meant to feel. She was supposed to be happy that it happened, Layla gave up and she can have Shane all to herself now but strangely, she’s not feeling that.

” Am I okay? ” She asked herself as she walked back into her car.

** Shane’s Private Mansion **

” How did you know I was here? ” Shane asked Alec who rushed in looking all worried. ” Dude you got me all worried. Brielle wouldn’t stop disturbing me with calls. I had to lie to her that you was with me. She was damn worried, why wouldn’t you pick her calls? And what’s wrong with you? Why are there traces of tears on your face? ” Alec rushed at once that for some seconds Shane got confused on which to reply to first.

” I’m fine or maybe I’m not ” Shane replied as he landed his butt on the bed. Alec did the same. ” What’s wrong? What happened? ” Alec asked curiously.

” Layla left ” Shane muttered but Alec was confused. He raised his brows. ” Left how? You mean you two kinda break up? ” He asked unbelievably as realization hit him.

” Yeah, that ” Shane muttered. ” But why? And when? Why would she do that? ” Alec was confused. ” I really don’t know. I’m just as confused as you are. She only talked about her not being good for me and Brielle should be the one with me and some other excuses ” He muttered and Alec raised his brows.

” Do you think Brielle threatened her or said some things to her that made her take this action? ” Alec asked but Shane shook his head. ” I don’t really know. I just don’t know ” He muttered as he held his chest suddenly.

” Are you okay? ” Alec asked worriedly and he nodded. ” Yeah, it’s just my chest.. it aches ” He muttered hurtfully as he started another round of tears and Alec sighed sadly. He pulled Shane to himself and comforted him.

** The Girl’s Apartment **

” Can you stop with the tears please? Come on ” Mirah groaned but Layla couldn’t stop. She kept the tears pouring. Mirah sighed tiredly.

” Why would you cry when you clearly pushed him away yourself? You told him you weren’t interested anymore and I’m sure he’s definitely crying his eyes out somewhere and you too… ” She sighed as Layla’s tears dampened her clothes the more as she hugged her tightly to herself.

” You still love him right? ” Mirah asked and Layla nodded. ” I never stopped loving him and I don’t really think I can but.. I just don’t belong to him ” She muttered and Mirah sighed.

” Then just chill okay and stop with the tears please ” Mirah pleaded. ” I can’t.. it hurts, it really hurts ” She cried the more.
