Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 2

Nyla downed her drink in one gulp. She had never imagined Clark would betray her. Seeing him in bed with another woman felt like a dagger through her heart.

“I just can’t believe it. He loved you so much. He didn’t seem like the type to cheat. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding,” Valarie suggested.

Nyla let out a cold laugh. “I saw it with my own eyes. How could that be a misunderstanding?”

The room fell silent.

Watching Nyla drink like there was no tomorrow, Valarie grabbed the glass from her hand. “Even if he cheated, you shouldn’t punish yourself by getting drunk. What are you going to do now?”

“I’m getting a divorce. Just thinking about him with that woman makes me sick.”

Upon seeing the defiance in Nyla’s red eyes, Valarie’s heart ached. “Don’t think about it now. You need to rest. Decide what to do next once you’re calm. I’ll take you home.”

Nyla shook her head. “No… I don’t want to go back.”

Returning to that house would only bring back the sickening images of Clark’s betrayal. Each recollection made her feel nauseous.

Seeing Nyla’s reluctance, Valarie didn’t insist. “I’ll book you a hotel room then.”

…

After booking a room, Valarie took Nyla to the hotel entrance. “Are you sure you don’t want me to take you up?”

Nyla shook her head. “No, you go rest. I’ll be fine.”
