The ugly island beauty

Chapter 7

Layla secretly thanked the person who provided her with the video and shared contacts of these journalists.

Yes it was Layla, this nieve looking girl who exposed her husband's deeds.

She got the video and the list of contacts from an anonymous number. Initially she was confused but as soon as she figured out who are the owners of these phone numbers. She knew what to do. As expected her plan worked and she got what she wanted from her husband.

Yesterday after the horrible video call, she went to the guest room, not to cry but to extract the video recording that she did on the maid's phone when her husband called her. Too bad she could not remove herself from the recording as it was a video call.

She so badly wanted the world to know how her wedding night went. But If she used that recording to do so, it will be obvious who spread the video and if Steve would know it was her, then its all over for her.

She so wanted to go back in the past, to that room which was supposed to be hers and record that horrible act herself. Show the whole world what or actually who HER husband did on HER wedding night.

As if reading her mind, she received this video and contact numbers of many journalists on her phone with a message, 'I've got your back, precious'.

She was initially shocked, how this person knows she is carrying a phone and also knows her number. Because everyone here thought this poor girl doesn't even carry a phone. She did not bother to correct them similar to when she did not bother to correct them when they thought she looks 'not so pretty'.

Initially she was skeptical about motive of the sender as she has first hand experience of the fact 'there are no free lunches in life' But when she saw the content of video she felt he is not harmless, atleast not now. Infact right now he is very resourceful because this video was definitely shot inside the room that Steve used. Quite brave indeed.

Coming out of her thoughts, she opened her phone and quickly typed a 'Thank you, I owe you' to this unknown contact.

Within a second she received a series of messages.

'You owe me nothing.'

'Congratulations on getting into medical school, fly high.'

'I've got your back, precious...'.

She was astonished! Nobody, absolutely nobody knows she wants to go to a medical school. People might think she spread the video to avenge her cheating husband but she really did not bother about it. She didn't have time to bother about this when she had more important issues at hand. Her complete focus was on how to be able to attend the school, where to get the funding for her education as she applied to one of best but expensive universities and course fee was way out of her budget. Last week, i.e. 5 days before her wedding she received the acceptance letter and that is when her life took this turn.

Steve cheating on her and her receiving the video just brought christmas early for her. She made full use of the situation and her problem is solved now as Steve promised infront of media to send her to school and he has to fund as well. Moreover he owed her this for the 'favour' she did by saving his reputation. He will never know, this is no favour. He was infact calculated by his little ugly wife.

Layla initially thought the sender of video wanted something in return but after receiving the congratulatory message, she is sure this guy knows way more than he should about her.

She can only hope he is not very harmful and she can handle him when time comes.

Keeping the thoughts aside, she decided to think about matters in hand.

Her medical school fees was sorted as Steve ordered his assistant John to help her with it.

Now she needs clothes, books and monthly expenses. She has a month to figure out things.

By the time she was thinking about all this, She already reached villa in Steve's car. The driver opened the door for her. Steve did not as much as spare a glance at her.

"Good that you know not to open your mouth. Even if you are so ugly thank god you have some brain. Keep this up and I keep my promise. John will take care of your education and corresponding necesities."

Layla was about to get down from the car when she heard her husband speak again.

"Stay at villa, go to school, run away to your island. Do whatever but just make sure never, never to come in front of media again."

Layla took this opprotunity to ask him," I want to work part time to earn some money for my expenses."

When Steve heard this his voice boomed at her, "You dare not even think about it. I provide you food and shelter. You are so ugly that no amount of branded clothes or expensive jwelery can revieve that. What do you need money for? huh? Now that I will never touch you, are you planning to get yourself a gigloo? You w***e. Do not dare to go waitressing around just for some money."

"John ensure you provide her what ever money she needs for her food, clothes, boarding and commutation."

" And you ugly thing, do not dare go out whoring around in name of working. As much as I want to deny it, for the world you are Mrs Russu. Its Russu family's responsibilty to provide for you."

With that Layla got out of the car and Steve left from there.

Layla went inside the villa. As soon as she entered the maid came running and hugged her tight. An unknown warmth spread across Layla's heart. The maid held her tight and said sorry for not being able to help. For being helpless and not stand up to her master and tell the world how her master tarnished to sacred vows and tainted his little wife with the first hand visuals of the act.

Layla thought people in BIG city are not so bad afterall.
