The Billionaire Undoing

Two

Jade’s POV

As composed as a person who had just seen her two best people in the world betray her, I folded my arms across my chest in a calm way, and I asked. “How long has this been going on?”

I mean, this couldn’t be their first time, I’m sure of it, now that I caught them. All those times I come home to seeing them chilling together, and stupid me, would calmly shrug it off as nothing.

“Honey!” He called softly, still kneeling between her legs, and with her sitting up but with her legs still apart and over his shoulders. This was the perfect example of catching people in the act.

Peter reached a hand out toward me, and I took a step back even though I know he couldn’t touch me. Gritting my teeth, I asked again. “How long?”

“A couple of months…”

Gasping, I repeated. “A couple!” Shaking my head, feeling suffocated suddenly, I turned my back and walked out. I just can’t do this. It’s really not good to stand there because I would probably commit a crime of homicide if stayed there one more minute.

So fast I actually thought I might be flash, I walked into my room and grabbed anything in sight that seem like a necessity. I couldn’t sleep here tonight, I needed to find somewhere to sleep tonight. My perfect rich friend, and my boyfriend whom I trusted so much had been sleeping around behind my back for months, a couple… I added as if that clarification would help anything.

I’ve always thought of Jenna as a godsend of some kind, always giving effortlessly without expecting anything in return. “Well, Peter is a nice form of payback. So I don’t owe you anything anymore.” I muttered.

When I was sure I had gotten all I could need, I grabbed my duffel bag and shuffle them in, and with one last look around at my lonely bed and neatly arranged room, I walked out of the room and out of the apartment into the cold. Maybe I was destined to sleep out in the cold tonight.

”I can’t believe Jenna did that.” Megan said, twisting her blonde hair in her hand, and I shrugged.

“Well, it happened, Meg. I just need to find a place to stay and forget about what I had to see.” I said. “I was planning to check if there are any available places to rent, but everything I saw was expensive. Can’t afford it.”

Megan rolled her beautiful blue eyes, another rich friend I had, but I wasn’t really close to her. When I met Megan, I had thought she was a snob, or so Jenna told me, but when I got to know her, I realized she was cool. The only reason I didn’t allow myself to be close to her was because she was also from some super rich family, and I didn’t want people talking about how I was only being friends with them for their money.

Megan knew this as well, but she said she didn’t care because in her mind, I’m her best friend. Silly woman.

“You know you can just stay with me right?”

“No can do, Meg. I’m not staying with you. You know how I feel about that, plus you’re also a rich girl. Who knows what you’ll steal from me too.” I said as a joke but Megan scrunched up her nose.

“You know I’m not like that. That’s just Jenna, not all rich girls take what doesn’t belong to them, or in this case, who.” She said.

Biting my bottom lip, I said. “I know that, sorry. I didn’t mean to compare you both.” Actually, Jenna and Megan were too different people, while Jenna was quiet, Megan was outgoing, and she speaks her mind a lot. She’s down to earth too, if you get to know her.

“You know what, I know a temporal solution to your thoughts. Why don’t you go clubbing with me, Emily and Ally tonight. It’s Friday night. You can worry about your housing situation tomorrow. I’m sure we’ll find something within your budget, and I could definitely talk to some friends looking for a roommate. How does that sound?” She asked, wriggling her brows with a smile on her face.

While I was five foot seven, Megan stood two inches above me with those long legs that I would kill for. She was always so elegant and classy, but we were the same body type. We both had butts rather than the average person, but I had a perfect c cups breasts as well, while she doesn’t have that. She was really beautiful, really, and I sometimes wonder why she went out of her way to be my friend.

I was a nobody, with only student loan and responsibility to my name. Ever since my father and sister died in that car crash seven years ago, my mother’s drinking problem had pushed her in and out of the hospital and rehab, and guess who has to pay for all that, with me working two jobs at the coffee shop and at the bakery.

“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, but then I won’t go as well.” Megan said, her voice cutting through my thought.

Well, a little dancing wasn’t going to hurt me or anything, so I better just go with her instead of letting her stay here with me. “Fine! But I’m only going because I want to have fun.” I said.

“Say no more, sweetheart, I have the perfect dress for you.”
