I was awoken by a buzzing of my phone. Then my eyes were still shut, until a ray of sunlight hit my face from the window. I stretched my hands widely with a yawn as a relief of a good night sleep. I stroke my hairs with my ten fingers repeatedly and released a smile of satisfaction.

I took up my phone and tried to make known what the time said as the images weren't so clear yet. It was sharp 7 o'clock. I felt the cool morning breeze rush through the window as it hit me.

"What the!" I shut my mouth with my hands. I was in shock as I turned and saw Gustavo lying shirtless next to me. His shoulders were so broad and his body was just perfect without blemishes or wrinkles, nor any fat.

I swallowed my shame down to my stomach. Different thoughts and ideas began to play through my head. I must have had too much to drink and ended up in bed with him.

My eyes fell on his face and they were so beautiful. He looked peaceful as he slept as well. I couldn't believe someone that was as arrogan

    "Just a minute!!!" I replied with excitement.I took my towel and flunk it before drying my body then wrapped it on my body.As I rushed out of the bathroom, I was faced with an angry look by my makeup artist, Jessie.I've only known for like 28hrs and we've become such good friends. She's was very helpful and kind to me, even calming me whenever I'm worried or over excited about my wedding. I just couldn't tell or get the slightest idea on the whereabouts of my best friend, JADE, but hopefully she's somewhere planning something nice for my wedding or my honeymoon. And Jessie here is just the right person to take her place for now. "Maybe its when the priest gets tired of waiting and your fiancée finds another woman to put the ring on, you'll realise the importance of being punctual," she said with a serious face.

    "Traitors!!!" I sobbed profusely."Hahaha... I don't think I like your energy sweety." Jade laughed, getting up from the bed and headed towards me."What did you actually think was gonna happen? That my darling fiancée and to soon be the father of my child was gonna leave me and get married to something like you?" She said such hurtful words to me and didn't feel just even a little bit sympathetic at all. She was so heartless. To me, this was not the person I called my friend."Why? What did I ever do to you that could have made you to be this heartless and hate me." I was left with no other words.I felt like just putting a bullet straight through their heads, and trust me, right now, if I had one with me, I wouldn't spare a second in doing so."Hahaha, you can be so funny sometimes you know. Look, it'll be better for all of us if you just leave okay, because this is not gonna get you anywhere, so just drop it," it was Roderigo. He said with such confidence in his face and with a smi

    "I knew you were shameless but I didn't think you'd go this far" I said to Roderigo as I snacked my mouth."You should have just told me you wanted to bite more than I gave you" I added with sarcasm and laughed in surprise."Mock me all you want, because it's not going to change the fact that I'm sitting here and you're standing there." He said with a cocky smirk. Then he stood up and made his way towards me."Look around you, you thought you had it all, you thought you were a goddess and everyone was beneath you." He said as he held my shoulder and walked around me."Wow, so this is all about your stupid ego?" I laughed, violently removing his hands from my shoulder."You're still not getting the picture here cutie." He said as he put his hands on my lower jaw."Okay, then paint it to my understanding. You know how hard it is to read words written by a five year old, or how hard it is to understand morons who refuse to know their place." I replied with confidence but only just to pro

    My reflection on the mirror said everything about how I was feeling. It wasn't always easy to appear all strong and unbothered when deep down I was already dying inside. It hurts knowing that everything was a lie. There was no love from the beginning, there was nothing to hold unto, and realizing that I had nothing now sent chills down my spine. My mind flew back to how everything started, how I met Jade and how she introduced me to Rodrigo. It was a normal morning when my name was announced over the speakers that I was to appear to the principal's office. It felt completely strange having the principal send for me, but summoning courage, I made my way to the office where I got the worst news of my life. It all started with words of encouragement from the principal, but somehow I noticed that all her words were filled with pity, and all I could do was wonder why; and when the principal broke the news that my parents had been in a motor accident, I felt my world collapsing.

    "Jesus Christ!" Jade screamed on the top of her voice as she saw me immediately she came into her living room and turned on the lights.I had waited so long to have a one on one girl talk with her. I had wanted her to redeem herself. Give her a chance to explain why she did what she did. I wanted so desperately to hear her beg and say it was all Roderigo's doing, maybe he had something against her he was blackmailing her with. I didn't have the lock to her house anymore because she had changed them, but I had the man I asked to stalk her get the new locks anyway.I watched as she curiously and fearfully approach her house, looking in all directions as if she was being followed. I also saw the strange look on her face when she reached her doorstep, like she noticed something different."What the hell are you doing here?" She asked in astonishment."Why are you so worked up? Is that how I'm now welcomed into your house? Have some manners." I replied calmly and turned to take a sit on th

    "He's coming, he's coming." Said one of the female staffs of zinak enterprise, Jessie. Everyone became heather scatter. They all dropped what they were distracted with at the moment and rushed to their desks. "Good morning Sir, welcome sir." They all greeted in unison as they stood straight as their chairman walked straight into his office."Uh... He's so arrogant." Complained Jessie. She had been in for a promotion for a long time now. Putting unnecessary efforts to impress the boss and his secretary who supposedly has a crush on him."Be careful with your mouth." She was tapped by another male staff. "No wonder he's still single. Despite all that charming looks and perfection in everything he does, not to mention he's so rich and capable." Jessie got distracted from her complaints to complimenting him. She was practically julling over him. It wasn't something new. Different companies he had worked with had wanted to set up their daughters with him or it is the daughter's who beg t

    A day and two passed, and Gustavo was dazzled and extremely impressed by my competence and perfection. How I remained calm in crisis and handled them like they were nothing. I saw in his eyes as he watched me, another version of him. I wasn't liked so much by other staffs but still ended up earning their respect. Although some respected me because I was directly brought in by their chairman. We were going to have a staff night out on my third day at work at the Zilak. Gustavo had to leave earlier than the rest of us after he got an urgent call. Everyone were more at ease after he left. They still haven't gotten used to sitting and eating on the same table as their boss, mostly because he usually brings work to most dinners.Everyone got in to their drinks. They laughed and gist of their different lives and the funniest things that had happened in the office."Aren't you going to have a drink?" Jessie asked. The whole night I've been avoiding having anything to drink. A glass might tur
