Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 0338 

ANASTASIA 

Clara’s face turned to the side with the impact of the resounding slap that I just landed on her cheeks. 

She reeled backward, clutched her face and stared at the floor for a long while, 

That slap was the very least of all the things I wanted to do to her. I was literally holding myself back from hurling insults at her as I beat her up. But what would that do? Absolutely nothing. What had happened has happened, it was now in the past. 

“You found out,” came her quiet voice. “Dennis told you, didn’t he?” 

“I can’t believe you blackmailed him into keeping quiet about such a thing. Do you think he’s like you? A pretender? You smile at me but deep down you hate me for,” I made air quotes with my fingers, “taking Aiden away from you.” 

Clara remained there, saying nothing. 

“Clara, how could you? You were my friend! I confided in you. I told you everything, I sought your advice in literally everything I did.” 

I tipped my head back and looked up at the sky as I attempted to stop my tears from falling. Not here, not before her, no. 

My mind drifted back to all the little fights that Aiden and I used to have. Half of our misunderstandings were instigated by her, with the things she would advise me to do or say to Aiden, the approach she’d lead me to whenever I told her about something Aiden did that I

was Clara who asked me to do or say so but I stopped telling her stuff that happened between us. I stopped stuffing her with unnecessary details because I became scared that she’d cause a rift between us 

with her bad advice. And all the while, I chucked it all to the fact that it was just how Clara was aggressive. 

I laughed out loud, “I had been a damned fool, hadn’t I?” I shok my head, “Clara why? Why would you do that? You were like my second skin.” 

“No,” she finally spoke up. Her voice was quiet but I didn’t miss the venom that dripped from her tone. I looked down at her face and the look there frightened me. 

“I was never your second skin, not until Aiden came. He was your second skin. You made my man your second skin!” She sneered and I flinched back, deeply surprised. 

“What are you sa-” 

“Why did you never ask why Aiden came to visit that day? I specifically told you that I was expecting someone. Why did you ever ask what was between us when you saw him and realized you knew him? You flirted with him right in my presence!” She gripped her hair and turned around, turning her back to me but I glimpsed the watering her eyes, the one she was desperately holding back. 

“Are you being serious right now? How was I supposed to know? You should’ve just told me.”
