“I’m sorry.” he added, with an apologetic expression written all over his features. His brown orb eyes didn’t even flinch for a minute. And, that alone made me want to yell at myself for being stupid.

The instant he mentioned those words, his hands untangled from my shoulders. A gust of wind from the window, rushed past me from the window. It slapped my face, bringing me to reality.

I couldn’t bring myself to comprehend whatever Jackson had just uttered. It was something unexpected.

So unruly and hurtful.  

I would never had expected something like this from anyone, especially the fact that it was Jackson. It made me want to cry. Gawd, it did make me want to cry.

But the thing was, I didn’t know why I wanted to. My feelings made me really confused these days. And, nothing also made sense too, why?

“Y-You bastard,” I directed at him, almost at the verge of tears. But I wasn’t going to break down at the front of him. Mum always taugh

    Jackson’s PovImmediately Eleanor walked out, I felt a part of my heart pang in guilt.It wasn’t for loving her. Whatever I had was never love. When I met her at the elevator, I wanted to be friends with her because she was such a beauty.The kiss confession at her house, had been just a test. I needed to know if she was really in a relationship with my elder brother, because she seemed to hate the rich so much.The rooftop incidence was because she told me she wasn’t in real relationship with Liam. I wanted to actually give it a go to have something with her back then. It wasn’t until lately I realized it wasn’t something I wanted.It was sort of an attraction any male could have for a female.It wasn’t something more.Definitely not something serious.We had been friends. And, by her walking away without hearing me out, it was evident that whatever friendship

    The day after that day, I received a phone call around 6am. Wondering who the caller was, I sleepily reached for the phone. A migraine from last night’s drinking hit my head, making me groan out.“Eleanor,” A raspy and somewhat silent voice called out. My brows wriggled in confusion, the minute I recognized the voice.“Margaret,” I uttered. My mind drifted to a lot of things as I wondered what exactly was the problem was. She didn’t reply abruptly. And that led to a rapid beat of my heart.It made me wonder if something was off. It took some seconds for her to actually speak up.“You need to show up at the office right now.” she said. I was about to say something when she hung up the phone.That was the one sentence got me worrying a lot...And, it meant a lot to me.Because she was my manager and when something was off, this was just how she reacted.And this was so

    Sometimes in life, some incidents occurred, and the first thought on your mind— the first thing, that you can think of, at that very instant was “FUCK,”This was one of those moments for me.It was just like everything I had feared, had suddenly turned up. And, I was left to start wondering how exactly it all muddled together thus, ending up this way.This was what my head thought of, all on its own.The moment Big James out poured all of that anger on me; he threw some documents towards me. With my eyes bolted in shock, my hands trembled and I quivered a bit at the thought of mum.I reached for the document which laid on the floor. Opening it, I read the words that contained it, “TERMINATION OF CONTRACT,” These were the words engraved on it. Just then, Pink Moda’s lawyer walked in.As he walked in, I knew one thing was for sure. Fighting it all, was no use. Because if I did want to, I didn&r

    Liam’s PovRed was certainly someone with an odd and eccentric pattern of thinking. She refused my every move to help her, no matter what I did. It was like she wanted nothing to do with me or my money and I wasn’t surprised.This wasn’t the first, second or third time. If possible, I could make it a zillion times, because this was her personality. It was what defined the fiery type of woman she was. What sizzled and burned me.And, I could only admire it.Judging from how she returned the money I gave her on our first day of meeting, it was obvious she wasn’t a gold digger. Last night was an unexpected turn of events. I certainly didn’t foresee her getting drunk, neither could I have predicted what came after.I remembered her words, “Cheers to the Almighty Liam James, my life is in shambles. If it wasn’t because of you, that model Jojo wouldn&r

    Slowly, my head averted back at the tone the voice just addressed me through.Say no heart.Please say no…it wasn’t…him.It was Liam. He sat on the sofa just by a corner I didn’t notice in the sitting room. With his legs crossed, his black oxford shoes shook with a touch of manliness. The both of his arms pressed flatly at the upper part, of the white couch.Like a deer caught in head lights, I moved to face him wholly. With my bag in my hand, I timidly observed him. The instant my eyes locked with his, a vivid recall of last night appeared in my head.The bar.My tantrums.And, my words…My words…Oh my gosh, my last words?!I immediately averted my eyes, looking at the other side of the room.“I…um...I was j-just going back, Liam. I don’t want to be a burden to you anymore.” I muttered.Please don’t ask me an

    “H-how exercising i-is done in a billionaire’s world??”What did he even mean by that?Was he trying to once again, show off?“Stop the car, right now.”I seethed to the chauffeur, folding my arms.I could feel my temper slowly rising. The reason I had gone jogging, was to clear my head.And now, being around him was enough to install fury in them once more.“Keep going,” Liam directed in a dominating tune.I sighed.Off course. What did I expect? He was the boss.“So, you’re literally taking me against my will? This is kidnapping!”I yelled at the top of my guts, feeling insanely helpless.“Is that what you’d prefer to call it, red?” he smirked.My eyes, startled, looked inside his mesmerizing green orb ones. They seemed somewhat confident.Damn.How could I have forgotten?He appe

    “You keep doing this, red. Whenever I try to take a step to getting close to you, you push me away.”Remembering those words, made me have a void and empty feeling.I questioned everything around me, wondering how the anklet managed to leave my ankles.I mean, did he even know how hurtful those words were?I found it hard to put myself together.I ended up going back to where we horse rode and also back to the golf center.“Excuse me, did you see a silver anklet around here?” I asked the people around.“No, nothing,”I didn’t stop at that, and searched thoroughly. A couple of spots we went to, I even went as far as requesting for the horse we rode. I checked the stables, and the dung, but found nothing.That made my hands really dirty. But I knew it didn’t matter. What did matter was finding the bracelet, and wiping off that look of displeasu

    Chloe’s Pov Driving Eleanor to Liam James’ house was simply no big deal for me. Honestly, my best friend had to quench her feistiness and start going after what she really liked. Not some random guy that played with her feelings. These were my thoughts as I gripped the steering wheel, driving down to Orange Summers. “Seems like Eleanor has found her happy ending, I have to find mine,” I muttered to myself with a smile. My intentions were simple. I was chasing the male I met at the bar the other day. I didn’t even care if that would make me a stalker. I just craved his appearance. At least, I hoped he’d show up again. … Just as I drove to Orange Summers, I noticed they were on a Promo sales; thus, they had more customers. I had to share a seat with a certain dude who covered h

    Liam’s Pov In the right way, Reyes had been dealt with. His properties would be seized by the government, in a few days from now. Which only meant one thing— this was it. “Red…” I trailed on my words, stretching my hands towards her. We were both inside the ambulance van, by each other’s side. Seemed like I took the most injuries, yet somehow, I had been able to wake up and fight. “Liam.” she breathed out, replying. “I-It’s all over…still unbelievable. I thought…I- thought we were all going to…” “Shhh.” I urged, placing a hand on her lip and silencing her. I couldn’t imagine ever losing her, so I couldn’t even bear to think of it. My injury was external, thankfully, she had a few scratches. But she still needed to be checked on, and thoroughly examined. In the other ambulance van was Chloe. Jackson had gone to her,

    I screamed and screamed my guts out, but it was all futile. They kept dragging us both, till we reached beside the truck.“Now.”One of them ordered. Some black van pulled over. That instant, black sacks were put over my head. I struggled as I was being put in.“You don’t have to do this, you know.”I muttered. “Shut up, bitch.”Some rough voice sneered, irritatingly.I bit my lips, not knowing what step to take again. My entire body froze, as I stopped struggling out of fear. Hands shaking rapidly, as the van drove speedily.Liam was just beside me and he was still passed out.I wondered how hard the accident hit him. I needed to manipulate our way, out of here, since he won’t wake up.“We can pay three times the amount he’s paying you.”I attempted to convince that again.“Tsk…that’s it.”The va

Never ever would I have thought, that I would be dating this infuriating billionaire.Liam James.Arrogant and cocky…yet, the best thing that ever happened to me.Towards evening, my phone suddenly rang out. Chloe popped up on the screen.“Hello.”I called out to the receiver button. Still in the pink fluffy dress I had just used for shoot, my face was caked in a vampiric makeup. That was more of today’s theme, in Pink Moda.“Eleanor…”She trailed out weakly, in a husky tone. I wriggled my brows. “Are you okay, Clo? You sound really bad,”“I confessed my feelings to him but he rejected me. H-He rejected me, and now…I don’t know what to do.”“I j

    Chloe’s PovI took an early leave to go home today, from work.I was so tired. Tired of everything.My shitty love life, and the fact that Jackson, who I presently liked, thought of us as friends and nothing else.These were my thoughts as I entered my car, zooming off at high speed. My thoughts drifted to Orange Summers—the only place that I took comfort in.“Chloe, I see you’re here again?” The bar tender called out, as I dragged a stool, sitting on it. Seemed he was used to my presence so much already.“Yeah Ray… I want four bottles of beer, please.”I ordered, bringing my phone out from my purse and settling it on the bar’s table. I texted Eleanor, but it seemed like she was busy with work too.Of recent, she was the only one I turned to in times of need. Friends at my workplace, only remaine

    I became very glad that I had sorted things out with mum. Thing became insanely perfect afterwards.While I handled with Mr. Reyes, making him believe I would move back with him to Mexico, I moved back to the company’s house.Mr. Reyes had told me that the minute he was done with some personal matters in America, we would be returning to Mexico together.He had sent loads of money into my bank account, telling me this was the start point.“That bastard.”Did he think money could buy a true family’s love? He had to be joking.One morning, just as I was on my way to work, in my disguise outfit, a car pulled over beside me.I totally ignored it, but when it kept on following me, I became insanely creeped out.“HEY!

Every instant, as time passed, I could tell red was in trouble. Mr Reyes, was someone highly dangerous. And, I had to take caution when dealing with him. Since he was in town, it was so much better. I would be able to keep tabs on his business back in Mexico, and his intentions with red. I needed to know why he’d suddenly show up after all the years, to ruin her life. What exactly did he even want from her? “Solomon,” I stated, after dialing my ex-assistant’s number. He had been the one helping me all this while, to find out clues to bring Reyes down.

    “It isn’t funny that your dad, a rich billionaire suddenly wants you back?” Chloe’s words reminisced my head. “Nope…I mean my mum lied to me, Chloe. And I, um…don’t even know if I should be trusting her again.” “Why not, she’s your mum. You should know the type of person she is by now, Eleanor.” “Don’t let some stranger, who was never present ruin that nice relationship between you both. She might not have given you the comfortable life but you turned out right,” She had stated. “I mean, look at you girl. You’re a survivor. As Nikki Fox, the world hated on you but you’re still going.” “What am I going to do, Clo?” Almost at the verge of tears, I had asked. “Talk to your mum, it would make more sense if everyone’s on your side, bestie. We have to bring Mr. Reyes down, if there’s some truth in Liam James’ words.” I jeered back to reality, holding my bag as I walked meekly. Th

    My thoughts were scrambled with yesterday’s incidence the minute I woke up. I remembered drinking to forget it all, but now… I wanted to sleep once more not to even think of it. Mum’s betrayal. Liam’s words about Mr. Reyes. Did she do it to protect me, like she said? Suddenly, flashbacks of last night spinned in my head. “I had a shitty day, Liam. Please make love to me,” Oh no… “We aren’t even in a relationship anymore, remember?” He had tried convincing me out of it, but I still shamelessly pushed on. “I was overshadowed by my own countenance and wishful thinking, for that I’m sorry,” “Now fuck me,” My eyes widened at my words, with my toes entangling each other. It was no wonder I felt sore in between my legs. We did make love last night, for the second time. And we did it countlessly, till we were exhausted. I hope he didn’t wake up.

    “A shot of vodka, please.”I said, wondering why one bad thing or the other had to always happen to me.While I walked out of the house, Mr. Reyes tried to talk to me, but I didn’t even feel like speaking to anyone.Not at all.I felt like shit and didn’t even know what to do.My mouth tasted in displeasure when he gave me his business card. I put it in my purse, walking to Orange Summers, the only place that seemed to understand me.“And one too, for me.”A familiar low baritone voice, lurked in surprisingly behind me. I looked behind me, only to see Liam clothed in his usual black expensive suit, looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever.He settled on a chair just beside me.I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.“Liam, what are you doing here?”I asked, with a sigh, almost cringing in distress.
