Chapter 62 - Betrayal
In the afternoon, she went undercover in Arianna's Agency. Although she had cleared up her name through her husband's power, she's still there to dig up something as Arianna mentioned to her about the girl named Stella. The artist's name is ruined after she became the third party in the relationship and after they stole her compositions.
She just realized that the recording company was also the company where her friend works. She noticed her friend speaking to the artists while she sneaked in and waved at Arianna. Arianna glanced at each side and pulled her into the stock room.
"What are you doing here?" Arianna asked as she looked around.
"I am going undercover." Keira winked. "So, I think your CEO contacted me to recreate a beautiful musical that will be recorded here."
"No. Do not~~" Arianna sounded overwhelmed and Keira reached her hands.
"I know what I am doing." She smiled at her friend. "I just checked on something today. Like the people that your CEO is contacting." She mumbled.
"Okay," Arianna took out her phone and sent it to her. "Here are the people that you wanted to see."
"Thank you." Keira hugged her.
Arianna sighed and let her be with her bodyguards as also undercover. She never thought that Keira would do such a thing for her. Even the label stole her songs and sold them off somewhere without her knowledge. She only has a few days' contracts now and it will end. Then, she's going to sign up for the Golden Age Entertainment that offers her a better record.
"Thank you, Keira."
"Don't mention it." She winked. "I have to go now."
Keira went to the President's floor as a janitor. The President nearly raped Arianna and Travis tried hard not to make them see each other. She was always protected. The incident happened last week and Keira wanted to know more about the holes in the company before she considered the production. The directors were insisting on this project and she knows that there's something wrong with it.
When she sneaked to the President's office, the assistants weren't there and it's quiet. Her bodyguards picked up the trash and her bodyguard followed her to the President's office and somehow it was too quiet.
"Mr. President. I'm here to pick up the trash." She mumbled. But there's moaning on the other side and when she peeked, it's the secretary and the President screwing each other. She wanted to leave quietly.
"Did you do what I said?" The President growled. "She can't sign to the Golden Age." He thrust harder and she wanted to look away but she had to know what they were talking about. She pulled out her phone and recorded them. "I did everything to stall her contract that ended last week but we can't let her go to the Golden Age." He pulled his Secretary. "Do you understand me? Or else, I won't give your orgasm."
"Y-yes, master."
After a few seconds, she quickly sneaked out, keeping her head low with her bodyguards who took the trash and they just left it on the corner as they used the area that didn't have a CCTV camera. She happened to pass by Holly and she wanted to greet her but she didn't want to show her yet that she's the President of the Golden Age and she could invite her to her company to work.
"Oliver, meet me right now," Holly said to her phone as she used the exit door. Keira froze as she turned to the door.
Lots of questions get into her head. Why would she call Oliver when a few days ago she complained to them that Oliver harassed her and broke into her house. She went outside to the nearest cafe. Her bodyguards followed her and over towered her to make sure that no one could recognize her. She ordered a tea.
"Something wrong, Miss?" The head bodyguard asked who sat with her.
"Well, I think there's something wrong." She mumbled as she glanced at the window and saw a familiar car. Then, Holly approached the car as the driver of the car opened it. The man that she hated came out and kissed Holly. The two seemed to be into each other. She lay her head low as another bodyguard sat with her.
Then, they entered the cafe and ordered their drink. She didn't expect that they would seat closer to them and the couple was kissing while waiting for their order.
"We've been together for five years now," Holly said that made Keira's heart shattered. "Aren't you going to propose to me?"
"Well, if we aren't married, I could fool around."
"Oliver, are you still thinking of that bitch? I had given you a year to fuck her but you just couldn't!" She hissed at him. "Well, Keira is still my friend and if you satisfy me with the outcome of breaking her marriage with her rich husband as a slut, then I'll let you fool around even when we are married," Holly smirked, devilishly.
It's the first time that Keira saw that look and hatred when she mentioned her name. It broke her heart that the only friend that she knows betrayed her. They played on her and used her, making a fool out of her.
"Madam, we should leave." The Head Guard mumbled as she nodded and they stood from their seats. She was escorted outside as her car stopped in front of the cafe.
It's already six in the afternoon and she had no time to even mourn for her broken heart or to go back to her office. Her car stopped in front of her husband's company building. They waited for three minutes until he entered the car. He greeted her with a passionate smack on the lips. She pursed her lips to smile but it cracks.
"What's wrong, baby?" He asked as he pulled her into a hug as their car started moving.
"Nothing." She mumbled and cuddled with him. He didn't ask anything at the moment since she'll eventually open up. Their car stopped at the red light and she raised her head to peek at the window and Alessandro noticed where she's looking.
Holly and Oliver holding each other's hand and kissing.
"So, that's the problem?" He asked her. "Love, don't be hurt over that."
"Holly is the only friend I know for years." She told him with those cloudy eyes. It looked hurt and broken. She started sobbing and hugged him.
"It's what I was about to tell you." He mumbled and rubbed her back.
"Tell me what?" She asked as she raised her face. He wiped her tears.
"I know that they betray you. I found it out when Mom Karmina invited her to our villa. I'm sorry, love. I will tell it to you but it's hard to tell when you have a big trust in her."
She pushed him away and cried more. She reached her aching chest. It has never been this broken before. Friendship and trust. She gave it all to Holly and yet she betrayed him. They played on her for more than a year. Alessandro hugged her and hushed her.
"Love, I'm sorry."
"What else?" She asked him sharply. "I want to know all of it so I won't get hurt anymore." She cried. Her tears were falling like waterfalls. It breaks his heart to see her like this. "I tell her all of my secrets and I tell her what I feel toward Oliver at those times. I love her because she's my only friend ever since." She sobbed and suddenly she started hiccuping. He rolled down the window a little so the air could enter. Then, he rubbed her back.
"Baby, calm down." He rubbed her back. He quickly took the bottle of water that they always store in the mini-compartment and opened the cap. He gave it to her. She sipped on the water and looked at him with those broken eyes. She sobbed again as he gently bent down and kissed her forehead. "Baby, stop crying now." He coaxed her. She moved closer to him and snuggled with him. "Calm down, I'm going to tell you. Okay?"
She nodded as she stopped crying and held it back. She hiccuped a bit and sipped on her water.
"Well, she's the one who manipulated you to sell yourself in that auction too." He caressed her hair. "Also, she's the one who forced her boyfriend to play on you and take your virginity so you'll get even more broken. They did it because she's jealous of your talent. I don't know her other reason but the way she watches you when you play your cello is full of jealousy and disgust."
"She did?" She growled.
"Baby, you don't need her." He kissed her forehead. "You have me and you can make other friends. And you have gorgeous friends too, right?"
"Well, I have them because of you."
"Learn to know each of them." He caressed her hair and gathered it. "You don't need Holly."
He kissed her forehead and made her drink more water.
"You won't betray me, right?"
"I would never." He kissed her nose. "You are my only love." He reached for the tissue and gave it to her. She removed her snots and leaned on him.
