Chapter 2 The betrayal

Lisa's POV

I felt my whole world come crashing down, wishing that the ground would open and swallow me.

I didn't want to inform them of my presence, I just wanted to run away forever, very far from him.

No matter how I tried to leave, I couldn't. I felt I was being forced to speak.

"A-Al-Alex," no matter how I tried so hard to control myself. I heard my broken voice come out of my trembling lips. This was honestly too much for me to bear.

"Huh!" As soon as he heard my low voice, his eyes flashed open, he immediately pushed her aside. She tried to put on her clothes.

"Lisa, what are you doing here?"

I didn't want to cry out in front of him, but seeing my best friend Lucy made it stream down my face. So this is it.

But why?

What did I do to deserve all this?

He knew quite well that she was my friend and he still did it.

I caught him with my friend and he is asking me what I'm doing here.

The betrayal hit hard.

"Alex why?"

"What did I do exactly? Did I ever wrong you? Why her? Why? Today is our anniversary and this is what I get."

"Lisa, you didn't tell me you were coming today?"

I turned to Lucy who regarded me with contempt. She wasn't remorseful; she constantly flicked her long, perfectly styled hair. Talk about rudeness. And in my room and bed. I gaped.

"Alex tell her now so that she can take her leave," she said with a smile.

I couldn't believe my eyes, she still had the guts to speak after all this.

"Alex, so this is it right?"

Alex let out a short bitter laugh.

"I am sorry I didn't tell you before now. There isn't any anniversary." while I stood there in stunned silence, he bent and pulled out a sheaf of paper from his drawer and threw it on my face. "Take a look."

Slowly, I bent, and I picked it up. A glance was enough to tell me that it was a divorce paper and he had already signed them. I felt a tear in my heart. My breath was hot, and the room was spinning.

"Why is this happening to me? What have I done wrong? After what you have done. So you already had a plan to divorce me."

"Yes! We have been married for two years and we have no kids. You can't even boast of having a miscarriage at least. Who is going to inherit the wealth after I am gone? Huh?"

"Alex is that the reason why you.."

He made an impatient gesture. "Yes, besides Lucy." His eyes lit up when he said her name. "Lucy is carrying my child as we speak."

I stared at Lucy who was still flicking her hair. At some point, I thought it was a dream, I slapped myself so hard to see if it was real.

I felt a stab in my heart when I realized this was all true. The shock made me stagger back a step.

Alex raised his brow, "Lisa, we are done! Let's look at it this way. Lucy is better suited to bear my kids. She is a fast-rising fashion designer from a respectable, wealthy background. You are nobody, you have no talent, no charisma, no personality, you are not even romantic. nothing. Now look at Lucy, you will see a woman with looks and the poise to carry on the Carter name and enjoy my wealth."

Though Alex had hurt me, I still loved him so much, I couldn't bear the thought of losing him. I divested myself of my last shred of pride and fell on the ground. I put my hands together in a gesture of entreaty.

"Alex, please I have forgiven you. You can't just let our two-year relationship go like that. We can still sort things out. I know she is not pregnant. You are just saying it. She must have lured you into doing this. I can still be pregnant. I am hopeful. We will surely make so many children. I promise!"

"Two years is more than enough." he retorted hotly." "Just sign the divorce, paper and get out of my life." he smiled, "Or do you want to see us fuck each other? You can see and learn how to fuck your next hushad if there will be any."

I heard her laugh at me and turned once more to her.

"You are really a backstabber. What did I do to you? I took you as my best friend. I was there when you needed me the most and this is what I can get from you Lucy."

Lucy let out a laugh again and shrugged, "No hard feelings my friend, I just gave Alex what you couldn't give him for two years now. Giving him a child. Besides, he never loved you."

"Lucy.." I began.

"Alright, alright. That's enough. Lucy is correct. I never loved you." Alex interjected. "Lisa, pack your belongings and leave this house."

"Alex, please stop."

"Or should I help you? I was wanting to do this all this while. I am so happy that you found out yourself."

I fell on the ground sobbing. He came back, pointed at me and thundered, "Get out."

"Alex, listen to me." He grabbed me by the hand, cutting me short. Please don't do this to us. Do you want us to end it like that?"

"There is no us here! Are you still here?" He barked as he held my hands and dragged me downstairs. He brought my belongings, he added the divorce paper and wheeled them outside. He dragged me outside the gate and gave me a shove that had me stumbling and I fell to the ground, brushing my elbow and knee."

"Get out and don't ever come back to this house bitch," he yelled, and then shut the gate on my face.
