Chapter 1 ELENA We got to the place of the Audition, which was the institute and dad parked the car where the resthave been parking theirs.I came out the car and looked back to see many children too. To be honest I was so scared,I keptimagining the kind of voices that was going to come out of the mouth of them."You can do this!" My invisible Angel told me."Thanks dude." I said aloud and brother looked at me."Can you stop doing that in public? That's way too creepy." He said and I nodded."You just don't understand. They speak to me anytime, anywhere and I am forced to reply." I saidand he shut his eyes."Okay that's enough. Enough of your delusions and let's go get you kicked out of the stage!" Heyelled and the other competitors looked at us."Oops." He said."Alec mind the way you act this night. You don't want to get started with me do you?" Father askedand he kept shut immediately."Now that's why I love father taking care of the Alec issues. He is the best when it comes
ELENA As we waited, I saw different participants come out from the building. Some had smiling faces onand some came out with tears. Some even came out looking very angry, and some had noExpression on their faces."Mom I am scared." I said shaking nervously."Elena you need to believe in yourself. Don't let those that have been coming out change the wayyou feel about this Audition. You will do just fine." She said and I nodded.The lady that was right in front of me was called in. She was 25th, and immediately she went in,my heart began to beat very fast.The expression that would be on her face will determine how I will feel before going into thatbuilding.I heard the way she sang with her parents and she was pretty amazing. She had the voice of anangel. If she isn't admitted, who then will?She looked older than me too. She has to be admitted.I looked around, mom and dad smiled at me and Alec, had this wicked grin on his face."I hate you." I whispered and he scoffed."I have
#The_Next_Day ELENA "Wake up sleepy head." Mother said throwing a pillow at me as I laid."Mom." I called in frustration."What? It's 10am. You should be on your way to finding a good job now you lost the Audition." Shesaid and I sat up sadly."Mom you didn't need to remind me. I know I am a failure." I said and she sat next to me holdingmy hand."You are not a failure Elena. Things happen for a reason. You can still have another chance atgetting into the institute. Even though it's in the next three years." She said and I looked at herremembering the card Jace the judge gave me."What if I can still have a chance now, not after three years." I said standing up in haste."I don't understand." She said but I ignored her and rushed into the bathroom to take my bath."What do you plan on doing? Where are you even going?" She asked from inside the room anditurned on that shower so I wouldn't hear her.If i told her Jace offered to help, she would never agree to it. She would say it
ELENA "You want me to be your girlfriend for 15 days?" I asked in disbelief."Fiancée not girlfriend." He said smiling."Why would you even think I would do that? Like be a Fiancée to a stranger? Not even my friend?"I asked in surprise."Because you and I know how badly you want to get into the institute. So it's just like a trade, I giveyou the chance of entering the institute and in return you be my Fiancée. It's not hard, it's just afifteen days act." He said and I sighed thinking about it."Why me?" I asked."What?" He asked."Why did you choose me? I wasn't the only one rejected and disgraced. Why did you pick me?" Iasked and he sighed standing up."You are exactly the type of woman my stepmother wants." He said looking at me."She wants a failure for you?" I asked and he shook his head."She wants a woman that is willing to do anything to get to that place she wants to be. A womanthat is gorgeous and smart. Not just a singer." He said and my cheeks flushed a little."But L
JACE "Why did you book an appointment with that lady?" Lydia asked barging into the office."Hey. Hold on, what's going on? Why are you boiling in anger?" I asked staring at her."That b**ch just talked back at me. She called me a b**chy judge." She said and I felt like laughingbut I controlled it."Wow I never knew she was that brave. No one has ever spoken back at you. I guess you have arival now." I said smiling."Seriously Jace? Is that what you are going to say? That she is my rival? How can you say thatlowlife is my rival. She has not even achieved half of what I have achieved her entire miserablelife." She said and all I did was laugh."Don't be too hard on yourself Lydia. I was just joking okay? And why do you hate her so muchanyways?" I asked."I don't know. I just hate her, I have a bad feeling about her." She said and I laughed again."And when did you start having those feelings? Trust me Elena is awesome. You just need toknow her well." I said and she grew more ang
Chapter 6 ELENA "Hey!" Celine said happily barging into my room while I was searching my closest."Must I always beg you to knock before coming in?" I asked and she jumped on the bed."You know I hate knocking, and I know you hate keeping me waiting. So we are even." She saidlaughing and I sighed."I don't know what to wear Celine." I said sitting on the bed tiredly."That's why I am here." She said bringing out a cloth from the bag she was carrying."You got this for me?" I asked happily picking up the gown."I went shopping on my way back. I knew you wouldn't have anything suitable for the occasion, soI got you this." She said and I smiled happily."Thank you Celine. You are a life saver." I said trying on the gown. I stared at myself in the mirrorand to be honest, i looked extremely gorgeous in it.It fitted me perfectly, and I wasn't surprised about that. Celine knows my size and taste when itcomes to wears."You seem very happy to go on this with Jace." She said and I nodde
Chapter 7 JACE I stole glances of her as I drove us to the restaurant I already prepared for us. I wished I couldfocus but her beautiful just couldn't stop to amaze me."So...." She said and I looked away quickly."Yea." I said looking at her again."Will your stepmother be present? Since she is the one we are doing all this for." She said and Isighed.For once I was so stupid to think she was going to see this as a real date."No. She won't be there,it's just two of us." I said and she looked at me."So what's the occasion if she isn't there?" She asked again."It's just a dinner to get to know each other that's all. If we want to convince mom, we need to beperfect at acting." I said and she nodded looking away."That sounds fun." She said smiling and I stared at her again.We got to the restaurant and I climbed down the car after parking it. I moved to Elena's side andhelped her with the door."Thank you." She said climbing down and I smiled giving her my hand. She took it and
Chapter 8 ELENA "What was that for?" He asked as he hopped into the car and I swallowed hard."I wanted to make it real. You said our act must seem real, and we were outside, so I wanted toshow people we are a couple." I stammered and he stared at me."I am not complaining trust me. I was just surprised you could do that." He said smiling widely."Why can't I? The last time I checked, you have no mouth odour." I Said and he laughed."Yeah right. It was pretty amazing though." He said and I nodded looking at the mirror."You should get used to that." I said watching Stefan through the side mirror. I made sure his eyeswere on us before kissing Jace.Now he would never think I didn't move on.I grinned looking at Jace who actually looked happy. I just hope I didn't give him an impressionthat I like him.Or did I go too extreme?"So..." He said looking at me as we drove."So..." I replied looking at him."When are we going to be having this dinner again?" He asked and I sighed."Is t
Chapter 23 CELINE"Can you drop by the house later today?" Jace sent a message."I can. And I will ;-)." I replied and began to prepare to get to his house. I was happy he was finallyinviting me to his house.Who knows he may wants me to meet his mother.I wore one of my best clothing and hit the road in no time. I was still rushing when I mistakenly hitsomeone and my bag fell."I am so sorry." We chorused bending to get the bag. As we met below together, our heads hiteach other and we both fell to the ground on our a*ses.I looked at the guy and we laughed at the same time."I am so sorry." He said standing up and helping me up."I should be the one saying sorry. I just have looked while I was walking." I said and he smiledhanding my bag over to me."And I should have made way for you but I didn't. So I ended up hitting you." He said and Ilaughed again."Thanks." I said smiling. He was actually handsome.
Chapter 22 ELENA After minutes of swimming and staring at each other, we decided to stop swimming. I moved out ofthe water swaying my water because of the water that was on it.I felt Jace's gaze on my backside as I did, and I looked at him over my shoulders."Don't you think that isn't Polite?" I said Smiling and he bowed his head."I am sorry, I can't just...""Help it. Got it." I said finally turning to look at him."I should go put on something decent before somebody or my friend comes in to meet me like this,and start thinking otherwise." I said and he smiled."Can I ask you something before you go?" He asked and I nodded eagerly."Anything." I said smiling."That kiss. Was it real? Or part of the fake ones?" He asked and I smiled."Jace, no one was around when I kissed you. My phone wasn't with me when I kissed you. Ikissed you because I wanted to kiss you. For real this time." I said and he smiled."I will
Chapter 21 JACE We were done with the voice training and we were both exhausted. She fell on the couchbreathing hard and I fell on the floor.We looked at each other and began to laugh all of a sudden."My tummy hurts badly." She said admist laughter and I nodded."I know. It's quite obvious, but trust me you did a great job today." I said smiling."You really think so? Or you are just saying that to make me happy." She said and I sat up lookingat her."Believe Anything I tell you to believe. You may not need to stay here up to 15 days before you aregood to go on that stage." I said and she smiled blushing."You don't know how happy I am to hear that from you Jace." She said and we stared at eachother again."I think I would use the swimming pool today." I said breaking the intense silence and jumping onmy feet."You have a pool?" She asked and I nodded in amusement."Of course I do. You didn't know?" I asked and she shook her head laughing."I didn't know, how do you expect me
Chapter 20 ELENA #the_third_dayI woke up and dragged my feet to the bathroom to have my shower. I couldn't sleep well at nightknowing Jace was seeing Celine.And I could stop feeling it was all my fault. I was too hard on him and he was forced to focus onsomeone else.I had my shower and I walked out of the bathroom with my towel around my unclad body.I walked to the front of the mirror and stared at myself sighing."Maybe I should forget about Stefan after all. But it looks like we are beginning to make a coupleagain.""What if he finally goes with Celine at the end of the contract, and then I have lost Stefan too?That won't be good at all." I thought."Elena?" I heard Jace call at my door."Hey." I said walking to the door to get it. I opened it and when he saw me on towels he turned hisface.That was actually weird because he once told me I was too attractive for him look away. I guess Iam not attractive to him anymore."Actually I have postponed the outing with Celine t
Chapter 19 JACE We would see tomorrow right?*Walking into the house*Yes. Tomorrow it is.Take care of yourself *smiling*.I hung up the call and then I saw Elena sitting in the living room. I smiled as I approached her.Her back was against me, so I couldn't see her face. I walked closer and then looked at her face tosee she was fast asleep.I smiled widely looking at how beautiful she was as she slept. I moved my face to hers staring ather Intensely."Hey." I whispered and for the first few seconds, it was like she was still very fast asleep.Then after that, she tightened her eyes and when she opened it and saw me she shook in fear."Oh my... Why are you so close?" She asked and I laughed moving to the other couch."Wanted to check if you were truly asleep. You know you are the funniest person I have ever met."I said and she rolled her eyes."I doubt that. How is Celine?" She asked and I furrowed my brows."You know Celine?" I asked and she nodded."Yes. She is my Best and on
Chapter 18 JACE "What would you like to eat?" I asked her smiling widely."Anything you give me is fine by me. I am still very happy I am sitting here with you." She said andI laughed softly."You really know how to flatter a person Hun." I said and she flushed a little."I think that's my personality." She said as I called upon the waiter."Do you think Beyonce would care seeing us together?" She asked and I shook my head."She wouldn't. She doesn't care about me or who I see. She is on a date too." I said smiling ."So this is a date?" She asked and I nodded."Of course it is." I said and her eyes widened."So who is this guy Elena went to see?" She asked as the waiter began to serve our orders."I have no idea Celine. I haven't met him before." I said and she rolled her eyes sighing."Do you know him?" I asked."Stefan. Her ex boyfriend. Or let's just say Fiancée." She said and I breathed out loud."So they are still seeing each other?" I asked in shock."From Elena side, yes. S
Chapter 17 JACE #the_next_dayI dressed myself in the best way I could, brushing my hair in a way that it made me look moreattractive. I wore an ash top accompanied with a quite expensive leather jacket.My trousers was a fitted Jean trouser, and then I wore a white foot wear to match too. I stood infront of the mirror to check how I looked and it wasn't that bad.I picked up my car keys and phone and headed out of the room. I walked down to the living roomand I saw Elena in the living room."Hey." I said and she looked back at me. My God she looked damn Beautiful. She had this lightmakeover on that made her look quite stunning."Wow. You look so beautiful." I said and she smiled as I saw her flush a little."Thanks. And you are also looked extremely hot. Kudos to this new found girl, she sure knowshow to bring out the best in you." She said and I nodded smiling softly."Yeah. I have never felt this way for any lady the way I feel for her." I said and she stared at me forsome
Chapter 16 ELENA I walked to the room after the voice training I had with Jace. I never knew singing was thisstressful, my tummy was hurting badly and I was also sweaty and I needed to take a shower.I got rid of my clothes and this time I made sure I locked the door. I walked into the shower anddecided to use the bath tub this time.I took my phone with me so I could check my notifications as I lay in the tub. Lots of Commentswere already coming in under the picture I uploaded.I tagged Jace, so his fans and the little I had were surprised to see us together. They keptcommenting wow. Some were awful too.I smiled as I saw my followers increase drastically too. There are lot of benefits in been Jace thejudge Fiancée than I ever imagined.Nobody knew me until I now. And I know after we break up, I will gain more social media followerstoo.As I laid in the tub, I then remembered why I uploaded the pictures. I began to look for Stefanamong the people that commented.I scrolled d
Chapter 15 STEFAN I opened my eyes and then met myself on the bed, in the midst of the naked ladies I partied withlast night.I stood up yawning staring at their naked a*ses. I got up and I spanked one of the a*s as I headedto the bathroom.I searched for my towel and then I found it in between the legs of a lady."Ewwww." I picked it up and perceived it. It smelt like alcohol so I left it with her pressing her b**bs.I took my robe which was neatly hung on the door, and I headed to the bathroom.On my way, I saw a left over cake from yesterday party, and I threw the last pieces of the cake inmy mouth.I got to the bathroom and I turned on the shower. I shut my eyes and bowed my head absorbingthe feel of the water on my skin."Wait. Where is my phone?" I thought and quickly rounded off my shower. I walked out of thebathroom tieing the robe around me.I was still looking for my phone when I heard the door bell ring."Who is there?" I asked still searching for my phone and the ne
