Betrayed

“What?” Xalia asked, confused and Emily sighed.

“Do you need him to dumb it down for you?” she asked, rolling her eyes and Xalia looked at her.

Wait, how does she know about this?

“You… you know about… “ Xalia stuttered as she felt a lump in her throat.

“From the very moment he banged you,” she said with a smile and took a sip from her drink.

“What?” Xalia asked in disbelief and Emily groaned.

“I have always known you were too dumb to be a billionaire. Let me explain how it went to you like a two-year-old. The first time you threw yourself at him and he fucked you, he told me because he loves me so much so I forgave him and you because I felt like it was a mistake.” Emily explained and moved closer to her.

“But then, I saw the way you always stare at him. The way you always stare at my man like he is the reason you exist then you came the second time, he rejected you and told me. Then I was like fuck it. Why not use this to our advantage? Use her, get her to do whatever you want, after all, she is richer than all of us.” Emily said and stopped in front of her.

They held each other’s gaze and Xalia had tears in her eyes.

“And it was working but the game got so interesting I had to move it to the next level. Get you to sign all you ever had to him and you did,” she said with a smile and sipped her drink in her presence.

Xalia sniffed as she felt her heart shatter, how could she not see this?

“You can't do this to me. You can't take everything I have because... “ Xalia trailed off as Emily slapped her.

She whimpered in pain as she looked at her. Before she could speak, Emily slapped her again.

“You deserve the worst! You were going to take all I have from me!” Emily screamed at her angrily and she flinched.

“What more do you want, Xalia? Huh? Tell me! What else do you want that the universe didn't give you? You are a fucking billionaire, everyone in this godamn country bows to you and you still wanted more!” Emily screamed at her again and she flinched.

“I’m sor… I’m sorry.” Xalia stuttered in tears.

“You are just sorry because you got caught and exposed! You don't care, you never did! How could you be so wicked? I am supposed to be your best friend!” Emily yelled and Xalia shook and sniffed.

“I’m sorry. I'm really sorry but you can't take everything I have. You can't do this to me.” Xalia cried and looked at Jack who was staring back at her.

Emily looked at him then at her and chuckled.

She suddenly grabbed Xalia's chin roughly and she whimpered.

“Look at him. Do you think he cares about you? Do you think he loves you? Do you think he would choose you over me? Listen to me, Xalia. You are nothing to him! If we were both in danger, he would save me and leave you to die. That is how much you disgust him.” she said and pushed her roughly to the floor.

Xalia cried and slowly got on her knees and crawled to Emily’s feet.

“I’m sorry, I am so sorry and I promise to make it up to you but please don't take everything I have. I have already been humiliated in front of the whole city, that is enough to make loose half of what I have, I can't lose everything, please.” she cried and Emily smiled as she stared down at her.

Jack just stared at them with his hands in his pants pocket.

“Please, my life is crumbling. You can't do this to me.” Xalia cried as she pleaded.

“You think this is the worst? You deserve to go through the worst in this life and this is just the beginning.” Emily said and kicked her roughly.

Xalia cried and managed to get up.

“Get out!” Emily yelled at her and she looked at Jack one last time before walking out of the house.

Immediately Xalia got back in the car, and she called her lawyer.

“How could you let this happen? Why didn't you say anything to me?” she yelled in tears.

“I’m sorry ma’am. My family was involved in this, there was nothing I could do,” he replied.

“Can they really do this? Is there no way out?”

“You gave everything you have to him, ma’am. There is nothing I can do,” he replied and Xalia ended the call.

She cried for minutes in the car and she finally started to accept what was going on. She told the chauffeur to head to her house, at least she should still have that for a while.

Xalia got out of the car and walked to the gate. She was about to go in when she realized it was locked. She pressed in the code but it was declined.

“What the fuck?” she muttered and hit the gate. It opened reveling one of her guards and she raised her brows.

“You need to fix this lock, there is something wrong with it,” she ordered and was about to walk past him when he stood in her way.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. We received orders from the owner of this house to not let you in,” he said and Xalia’s eyes widened in shock.

“What? This is my house!” she screamed at him and he bowed.

Before he could speak, a familiar voice spoke.

“Let her in.” the voice said amd Xalia pushed the guard roughly as she entered. She met her stepmother and father standing and staring at her.

Xalia shook her head as she felt her heart shatter all over again.

“No, not you too. Not both of you, not you dad.” Xalia said in tears.

“Is there something you need?” her stepmother asked and Xalia stared at her in disbelief.

“This is my house.” she managed to say with her voice trembling.

“Not anymore. Jack gave this to us,” she replied with a smile and Xalia fell to her knees as she felt so much pain in her heart. She looked up at her father and shook her head.

“You can't do this to me. Even if everyone is against me, you shouldn't. I am your daughter.” she cried.

“You stopped being my daughter twelve years ago when your mother died. You are dead to me!”
