Shayla awoke with an awful migraine, her body felt numb and her eyes were bright red and puffy.
Anyone would realise she had been crying just by the state she was in, she looked a mess and felt even worse.
Heartbreak has always been painful.
Shayla entered the kitchen, phone in hand and grabbed a cup of coffee and some pain medication. She then sat in the lounge, everyone else was still asleep.
She sat sipping away for the next 10 minutes until she remembered Linda and what she had shown her the day before!
The email!
Leroy shark needed a bride.
She thought 'if I can be his bride, Dean and Carly would never be able to be on the same level as me! they would be jealous and would regret their actions, leroy is powerful and dosent take negative publicity lightly'
'maybe I should book a meeting'.
Shayla spent a few minutes contemplating about this.
She decided 'why the hell not, it's not as if Leroy could do any worse, could he?', she pulled her laptop over, placing it onto the coffee table in front of her.
Shayla loaded up the laptop then got up the email.
While she still had the courage she wrote a short email to Lewis asking for a meeting!
Shayla would never of had the courage to write this response if last night had never of happened!
She was hurt deeply by Dean and Carly, she needed a fresh start! Leroy would allow her to work without any arguments, all she had to do was be a responsible wife.
This showed that a true man would trust his wife with all his heart, he would always support her while she would always support him. This concept in a relationship should have been a given. Unfortunately for Shayla Dean was not like this, he had always had trust issues.
When someone is unfaithful they will always believe that their partner is also being unfaithful.
Cheating always leaves a seed of doubt.
Shayla was supposed to become Dean's wife, she had planned out their life together but in the blink of a moment her dreams had crumbled into a million pieces!
Instead of Dean the deceiving ass! why not Leroy Shark?, his strong, confident and drop dead gorgeous! He would protect Shayla!
she would become the perfect wife like she was supposed to be, just for a different man than she thought she would.
Unknown to Shayla, Linda had actually received the email from Lewis by accident! Landa Carter was the ceo of global posers, that email was supposed to be for her.
An hour later Dean had risen from the guest room, after being intimate with each other again, Dean ventures out of the room, Carly following in tow.
They both say 'good morning' to shayla but all she does is fake a smile then scowl at the deceiving pairs backs when they leave for the kitchen.
How she wished she could destroy them!
They had treated her like she didn't even exist! Friends are supposed to support one another not move in on their partner!
Shayla, Dean and Carly all go to the office once they've gotten themselves ready.
Dean drives both women to his company building, Carly sitting in the front passenger seat while Shayla takes the back seat, sitting quietly, thinking about this potential marriage to Leroy.
These two deceiving liars can happily have one another!
Being chosen by Leroy would be a blessing, no more lies! No more deceit! No more pain! Shayla could only wish to be chosen, she wanted to be free from these awful people! How could she possibly fall in love with such a jerk!
As for Carly, she was supposed to be her friend! Friends don't sleep with their friend's boyfriend, it's wrong on so many levels!
Passion empire took ladies onto their books at the age of 17. They specified in modelling but also had two singers on their books.
Passion had always been a small company with only twenty artists. Passion had tried to gain numbers but being a small company has made it hard for them to gain more artists.
When the car pulls up, arriving at their office building they all go their separate ways.
Shayla is quick to get out and practically runs into the building, she couldn't get away from the pair quick enough!
Who would actually want to stay around bad apples?
Carly bumps into Linda before she makes it into her office. Linda being polite says happily
'Morning carly'
'Agh get out of my way, you and shay are like leeches, I swear!' Carly sneers angrily pushing her office door open.
Linda turns and walks away muttering about how rude Carly is, all she had said was good morning, was there any need for that outburst!
Sometimes Linda wished she had more power, if she did, she would definitely put Carly in her place. Carly had always thought she was better than everyone around her, being an A list model, so she treated spoke down to people in contempt.
Unfortunately in life when people gain power they don't see the value in the people that work underneath them.
When Linda arrived at Shayla's office Shayla told her what had gone on the evening before.
Shayla cried emotionally 'his cheating!' 'his cheating with carly'
'What' Linda screeches in shock.
'I caught them, they didn't know I was awake'
'they really hurt me! I've cried most of the night but this morning I decided I'm better than them! I replied to that email from Lewis' Shayla admits, still emotional but confident in her choice.
She's determined to set herself free from the pain they've caused her.
Who wouldn't want to escape one's misery?
'But you're supposed to be getting married in ten days! To Dean!' Linda screeches in shock.
'Linda I'm not anymore!'
'I lost my trust for him and he clearly doesn't love me'
'maybe if I'm with Leroy I'll be able to move on from the both of them'
Linda grabs hold of Shayla's shaking frame and hugs her tightly telling her quietly
'try not to do anything rash'
In life, people who are experiencing high emotions seem to make irrational decisions without thinking clearly.
