**Chapter 2: Betrayed**
As Laila pulled into their driveway, she noticed Peter's car parked, which meant he was at home, so why the debit alert?, she thought, although she didn't think much about it as she trusted him, but somewhere in the back of her mind she couldn't help question it.
She stepped into the mansion with the shopping bags as quietly as she could so she could surprise Peter, noticing he wasn't in the living room, she made her way to the kitchen to keep the groceries, dropping her keys on the counter, she was about to leave when her phone rang, quickly putting it on silent, she answered the call.
"Hello?,"
"Hello ma'am, did you recently open an account linked to the company's financials for charity donations?," the caller asked, it was her secretary Dani.
"No I didn't, we already have an account for charity donations," Laila replied before asking "Is something wrong?"
"Well an account was opened and linked to the company's financials for charity donations and the account was opened in your name, twenty billion has already been sent to the account" Dani found it suspicious that Laila didn't know an account was opened in her name,
"I didn't open any account recently, who would do that?" She asked before realizing..... "Wait I'll ask Peter about it, maybe he opened the account" she said,
"Ok ma'am."
The call went off while Laila furrowed her eyebrows in thought, why would someone open an account in her name linking it to the company's financials?, was it Peter?, and even if it was Peter why wouldn't he tell her and why would he put it for charity donations when they already had an account dedicated to charity?.
Laila put her thoughts aside as she remembered wanting to surprise Peter, putting her phone in silent so she won't be caught before being able to surprise him, she took off her shoes, holding them as she tiptoed up the stairs, making her way to their bedroom,
"Ahh," the sudden sound startled her and she stopped, that was a female voice and it sounded like a moan?
She wanted to brush it off as her imagination but then she heard it again and this time more proficiently,
"Ahhh....oh my God...yes," frowning she strained her ear to listen carefully as the sound seemed to be coming from their bedroom,
"Ohhhh...yes please Peter.." that...that was Nina, ber best friend's voice, as if not wanting to believe it she peeped into the slightly ajar door, a gasp escaping her lips at the sight that met her eyes.
Nina was on her matrimonial bed but she wasn't alone, Peter was there too and they were.. having sex... Shock gripped, Laila, her heart breaking as she stood there, dumfounded with no words, her eyes glimmered as a tear escaped her eyes, she watched as they both soaked themselves in the pleasure of their betrayal.
They were both on the bed as Nina was turned over with her hands and knees on the bed in all fours, while Peter was behind her, kneeling too as he pounded into her from behind with his head thrown back, hands on her hips,
"Ohh...fuck," he moaned, his voice hoarse,
"Yes please don't stop," Nina shouted pleading, Laila stood, not moving, shocked, broken and angry.
Angry that she trusted him, she trusted them, she loved him, loved him enough to put him in charge of her father's company, and her best friend, Nina whom she cared for and cared for her too-or so she thought, she looked at them with tears flowing from her eyes as rage took over, she would make them pay. Using her phone, she took several pictures and videos of them in the act, making sure their faces showed.
She stood at the side away from the door as they stopped, exhausted, they fell on the bed, holding each other,
"That felt so good baby," Nina said, satisfied,
"Yeah?, you liked it?" Peter asked,
"Of course, I just wished we didn't have to hide," she replied,
"I know, but we have to, you know why, we can't let her find out" Peter said with slight frustration,
"I understand, but aren't you done stealing her money, I thought you already had three billion stacked away, isn't that enough?," she asked as if tired, Laila was shocked hearing their conversation, so Peter had been stealing her money, exploiting her company, she thought, that kind of money wasn't something you could take easily, even as the CEO, that meant he had been doing it for years now. Quickly opening her phone to record their conversation,
"Yeah, I have already been able to sneak out three billion, but it wouldn't hurt to get more besides Laila's company is worth ten billion," Peter said, his voice distant, "the bitch is rich and she doesn't know it," he continued, his words angering Laila more.
"Yeah, we'll suck her dry and leave her to see if she can start up her company again," Nina smiled wickedly, "thanks for the money you sent me earlier, the two hundred thousand," two hundred thousand... So the debit earlier from her card was from him sending money to Nina.
"Yeah, leave that, why don't you show me some of your skills again," Peter smiled as Nina got up to climb on him.
Laila turned around, walking away from the door in pain, going downstairs, her frame shattered, picking up her car keys, she left.
