Capturing the Billionaire's Heart

Ciara's pov No it can't be. George wouldn't betray me like that. I said to myself over and over again as I sat in the taxi, a heavy downpour falling outside mirroring my misery within. My tears were blurry as I tried to control my breathing. My feet ached from where I had stubbed it in my haste to leave the house. I had only been able to throw on a loose gown and was now regretting it as the cold wind blew against my body sending shivers down my spine. I stared once again at the text I had received on my phone only just a few minutes ago and read it again. I had been preparing for a romantic dinner date with my husband George when the text had come in. The text had read: Your husband is having an affair. Come to the blue coast hotel if you want to know more. I had stared blankly at the text wondering whether it was a prank or not. A part of me wanted to ignore it but a bigger part of me needed to confirm the suspicion I had been harboring for the past few months now. "Miss we are here" The taxi driver called out pausing my racing thoughts. I reached for my purse and slid a few notes towards the driver before getting out of the car. The driver muttered a thank you and zoomed off into the night. I looked around the parking lot hoping beyond hope I could be wrong but sadly I wasn't. At the far corner in a secluded section of the parking lot was the unmistakable presence of George's car parked there. My heart skipped a bit and I suddenly felt sick. I wanted to run away and forget about everything but I knew I had to see for myself if George was really having an affair I walked into the hotel lobby slowly, a heavy pain festering in my heart. The blue eyed receptionist looked up as I approached. "Good evening. How may I help you?" "Is there a George Davis lodged in this hotel?" I asked breathlessly. "Hold on let me check" She typed on her computer and a few minutes later she responded. "Yes he is. He lodged into our hotel last week" I sniffed my tears. "Uhm can...I know his room number," I stuttered. "Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked this time giving me a once over taking in my disheveled hair and wet clothes. I must look like a mess. "No" "Then I'm sorry. It's against the hotel policy to give out the room numbers of guests to random strangers," she said matter of fact. "No wait. You don't understand. He's my husband and he might be having an affa.." I choked out. I couldn't even bring myself to say the words. The tears couldn't stop now as it trickled down my face slowly. I wanted to protest and tell her why I needed to see him but she didn't look like she was going to change her mind. I bowed my head in defeat and turned to leave when she stopped me. "Hold on" I looked towards her and her eyes held pity for me. "This is against the hotel's policy but I want to help you. This is not his first time here, in fact he's a regular here. This is their room key. You can go and see for yourself," she said, passing the room key to me. I thanked her and began to walk towards the room my husband and his mistress were staying at. I needed to know who his mistress was. The person that had succeeded in ruining my home and life. I struggled to maintain control of my nerves but the closer I got to the room the more the pain was being wedged in the depths of my heart. Finally I arrived in front of the room and slowly turned the key. "Ahh harder George harder" A female voice said and my hopes faltered. I froze on the spot, my hands still holding the key in place as my world shattered around me. I couldn't believe it. George was really cheating me. It was now an undeniable fact. I finally gathered my courage and pushed the door open slowly and my eyes almost flew out of my sockets at the scene I witnessed in front of me. Right in the middle of the room were the familiar faces of my husband sleeping with my younger sister in reckless abandon. They hadn't even noticed I had walked in because they were too busy making out with each other. "George, Nadine" I called out their names in shock. My own sister was sleeping with my husband. They both turned towards the door and I could see the shock on George's face. He definitely wasn't expecting me to catch him pants down on top of my sister. On the other hand Nadine was smirking and she had a look of triumph on her face. "Ariana, what are you doing here?" George stuttered, stumbling to his feet. "I'm supposed to be asking you that question. What the hell are you doing here with my sister?" I yelled as sparks of anger were on the verge of bursting out of me. "I don't know what to say, Ciara but you have to come to terms with it. I love Nadine," he responded nonchalantly and I blinked in confusion. "What did you just say, you bastard?" I was trying to hold myself back but I was so furious at how shameless they were acting. They didn't even care that they had ruined my life. "You heard him loud and clear, Ciara. George and I love each other and we can't live without each other. It's better you come to terms with that fact now and leave this sham of a marriage you have with him," Nadine who had been silent before chimed in unsympathetically. She showed no remorse for her actions at all and it hurt me. How could she do this to me?. Nadine and I weren't very close growing up as sisters although we only had a three year age gap, but I had never expected her to betray me this way. I wanted to speak but words couldn't come out of my mouth. It felt like I was in a nightmare and all I wanted to do was wake up from it. "Ciara. I know that whatever I say is not going to make you feel better but let's be honest with each other. Our marriage was a mistake from the very beginning and we should never have gotten married. I have been having an affair with your sister for a while now and I finally want to make the two of us official. You are still only twenty six and I hope you can find someone else for you," George confessed, his words driving a knife in my heart. "How long have you been having an affair with her?" I asked calmly, my voice shaking with emotion. "About a year after we got married" I wanted to hit him, strangle him, curse him and inflict on him the same pain he was inflicting on me right now. The urge to cry overwhelmed me greatly but I held it in. I wasn't going to break in front of them. "If you loved her so much you shouldn't have married me. I hope you get ten times the pain you inflicted on me," I uttered shakily before storming off the hotel room. I quickly ran into the nearest bathroom and threw up all the food I had eaten earlier. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I wanted the earth to just open up and swallow me whole. "Ciara thank God you haven't left yet. I wanted to talk to you," Nadine's sickening sweet voice called as she cat-walked into the bathroom with a smirk on her face. "What do you want?" I barked. "Well I just wanted to thank you for your help today. I didn't think you would take the bait when I sent you that text" "What?" She smirked as she walked towards me with a triumphant grin on her face. "Are you surprised? Honestly I was just getting tired of playing with the mistress and I couldn't take it anymore. Plus seeing you in pain was just a bonus" "Why... Why will you hurt me like that?" I stuttered. "Of all the men in this world you had to go for my husband. I thought we were sisters" "Sisters," she scoffed. "I have never thought of you as one and I never will. You always acted haughty and proud just because you were married into a very wealthy family. I'll take away everything you love from you one by one. Just watch and see," she sneered and walked out of the bathroom. I stood in the silent bathroom for a few minutes after she left until I finally cracked. All the tears I had been holding back came rushing out and I knew my life would never remain the same again.
