All Chapters of Revenge is Served On A Platter: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Layla’s POV“Layla, I’m no longer interested in this relationship.”The wine in my mouth splashed out before I could stop it. It hit the white tablecloth leaving a dark red stain. I sat there staring at Nick, waiting for the corner of his mouth to lift, waiting for the laugh that would turn the words into a bad joke. Nothing moved on his face except that quiet look of pity.“Nick.” My fingers closed around the tissues on the table. I wiped at the mess even though my hands would not stay still. “Is this a joke? Because it isn’t funny.”He kept looking at me the way someone looks at a person they have already decided to leave behind. “I’m serious. Let’s end it here.”I forced the next words out. “You love me. Tell me you love me.”I had spent the afternoon choosing this dress, fixing my hair, checking the mirror twice because he had called and said he wanted to take me to dinner. Work had kept us apart for weeks. Tonight was supposed to be different. The thought of what I had expected s

Kyle’s POVIt had been a week since Nick’s wedding, and I still couldn’t get that kiss out of my head.I leaned back in my office chair, my head resting against the edge, one fist pressed beneath my chin as I stared at nothing.And there she was again. That girl. That stranger who had grabbed my face and kissed me like she owned the moment.I could still see her clearly. Too clearly. It was as if she were standing right in front of my desk.Nick had never really been my friend. We’d known each other since college, but there had always been an unspoken competition between us. He acted like he had something to prove, even though his father’s company didn’t come close to my father’s.When he invited me to his wedding, I hadn’t wanted to go. If my PA hadn’t convinced me to show up for the sake of appearances, I would have stayed away.And I never would have ended up being kissed by a woman I knew nothing about.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.I sat up straight and adjusted

Layla’s POVI stared at the name lighting up my screen. The phone kept ringing in my hand, each vibration sharp against my palm.Why is Nick calling me? Did he hit his head and dial the wrong number? Did someone put a gun to his head and force him? I turned over every possible reason and none of them made sense.I had blocked him and Summer the same day I walked out of their wedding. Bella had insisted I unblock them so they could watch me find someone better. I still could not understand how her mind worked most days.The phone rang again. The sound cut through the quiet of the lobby and pulled me back. It would not stop. I finally answered.“Lay-lay, are you refusing to pick up? This is the tenth time I’ve called.”His voice slid into my ear and my stomach turned. The old nickname made the back of my throat tighten. I wanted to end the call before he said another word.“What do you want, Nick?” I kept my voice low. I was still standing in the quiet lobby of the hundredth floor.“Ple

Kyle's POV I chuckled, staring at Layla's retreating back as she ran off away from the horse track. The tracksuit hugged her perfectly, just like Jayden said it would. Her steps were unsteady and she kept looking back like the horse was still going to chase her. "Kyle, if you knew you weren't capable of teaching her, then you shouldn't have bothered," I heard Nick's angry voice behind me. I turned back. Nick and Jayden had also dismounted from their horses. They were standing beside their horses now, holding the reins. Nick's face was tight, his jaw clenched. "And why do you have a problem with that?" I asked him, my eyes on him. Nick scoffed, letting go of his horse's rein. "Kyle, let me make this clear. Don't frighten Layla like that ever again." "Stay out of this. This is between Layla and me," I said. "Not so," Nick replied firmly, stepping closer. "There isn't anything between you and her anymore, so cut the crap, Nick. She is here as my interviewer, so learn to mi

Layla's POV Entering Del-Borough Estate, I could easily see the reason why it is Bella's lifelong dream to own a house and live here. The whole atmosphere and villas are magnificent and jaw-dropping. The roads were clean, the lights were soft, the houses looked like something from a movie. Who wouldn't want to live here? I met a man inside the estate in a guard uniform after I went through all the safety measures and precautions. I was finally allowed into the estate. He introduced himself as Kyle's security and led me into the van and drove away from the estate gate. When the van stopped again, I opened the door before the man could get out and help me, then stopped in my tracks. The villa that stood in front of me was absolutely breathtaking. It was an all-glass house with a massive waterfall at the center, water falling smoothly with lights beneath it. Whatever Bella thought about getting closer to her dream through that Prescott offer would sound like bullshit once she saw th
