I opened my eyes slowly and it's all dark. I tried to move but my hands and legs were tied. "Is anybody there?" I whispered."Cassie? You're awake?" No way!"Oliver?" "Yeah.." He groaned in pain."Where are we?" I asked."I don't know but.. when I got here, you were already laying on the floor." Oh God.."Where are you?" I asked."I can't see a thing but they tied me to the wall." Oh God.."This is too much.." I said as I tried to pull my hand but it's useless. "Who do you think kidnapped us?" "It's Tanner, I heard him when I'm in the trunk. He was ranting about us finding out about his secret and that he will kill us." "Great. We're going to die today.." I said completely stressing out. My breathing pattern started to slow down."Cassie.. Cassie.." Oliver called me."Shit! Cassie, please say something.." "I'm here.." I said and it came out as a whisper. "Thank God, please stay awake and talk to me so I know that you're okay. We're going to get out of here alive.. I promise." H
It was my turn to stay with Oliver, I insisted even though he told me not to. I owed him a lot since he got hurt because of me. I brought him a lot of food and surprisingly he ate almost all of it.Cole will come later on and I'm glad that everyone's okay. Oliver is healing and the doctors recommended him to stay in the hospital for two weeks because his ribs got fractured. "This sucks.." He said as the nurse gave him lots of medicine."You have no choice loser.." I said."When will Sienna come?" He asked and I glared at him. After the incident, I got hospitalize for two days because my neck was badly injured because of the rope. They put me and Oliver in one room and we bickered most of the time. My friends visited me and Oliver got interested in Sienna. "She'll come later after work." "Great, I could use a great company." I wanted to smack him."Once you're out, I will smack your head." I hissed and he smirked."Well.. I guess Cole will leech onto you since he lost 50 million do
After everything happened, my identity was revealed publicly. My identity as in living two different people so I don't have to go to school with a wig anymore. Cole still felt weird sometimes."I always feel like I'm cheating on you when I'm actually dating the same person.." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Isn't that every man's fantasy? You should be grateful." I said and he looked at me disbelief."Are you nervous? Going to school as.. Kath- I mean the real Cassie Edwards?" He asked and I shook my head."Not nervous, I just want to see some of their reactions.""Let's go.." He said as he got out from the car. I got out and followed him. "Cassie!" I turned to see Jake jogging towards us. He hugged me and he got an instant glare from Cole. He's lucky that he's dating Cherice or else Cole will kill him. "Hey Jake..""Oh hey grumpy.." Jake called Cole grumpy now and he hates that nickname. We walked in together and some of the reactions were priceless. Jake went to his locker and t
We graduated school. Today is the graduation ceremony and I'm so excited to be officially graduated from school. I decided not to go to college for now because I wanted to focus more on my career as a model.I'm glad that my parents let me do whatever I want. As for Cole, he's going to NYU. He's taking business and his dad will let him take over once he's graduated from college. Speaking about dads, our parents have rekindle their friendship. Not immediatey but slowly. They started to hangout again even though my dad still hates me having relationship with Cole."Are you ready?" Jake asked me as I looked in the mirror one more time. "Yes." I said and we walked out from the gym together. "So.. are you going to get married?" I turned to Jake looking at him weirdly."Why do you say that?""It's because you and Cole are ready.""We are not ready, we're still so young.." I shook my head. We walked out from the school building towards the football field where our graduation ceremony wi
"Athena, we need two salmon steak." The head chef said and I gave him a thumbs up. I quickly started to do my thing. I'm a chef in a really famous fine dining restaurant called Skye. It's a western fine dining restaurant. I always wanted to be a chef and now I'm 25 years old getting my dream job. My dad is a famous chef too and he has his own restaurant in New York. My family are all in New York while I'm alone in LA. Why? I want to have my own experience without leeching to my dad. I don't want him to help me and I don't want people to hire me because of my dad. My two brothers came here to LA every three months to check on me because my parents worried too much. We always call every 3 days, just to check on me. I'm glad that I have a family who supported me in everything I do. My dad taught me all the basic things and I'm grateful for it. My mom is a fashion designer, she used to hope that I would be like her but she supports me one hundred percent. As for my brothers, the oldest
Ares: Come meet me in front of the restaurant nowI rolled my eyes reading his text. Yesterday, my dad called me and told me how proud he is that I can have my own restaurant. He said he will visit me very soon. Ares is such a jerk, how can he.. did this to me. Now, I'm stuck with him for 6 months. I walked out and released my apron. His assistant led me to his expensive car. I got inside and glared at him. "I told you not to work, why are you so stubborn?" "I'm a chef, I love cooking and working." "We're going to your new restaurant." He said and I can't help but smile."Your unbelievable. Can I ask you something?" "Ask away." He said as he gestured his driver to drive."Why do you need a fake girlfriend? I bet all the girls who are lining want to do it for free.." "My dad wants me to settle down because he fed up seeing my like this. My grandmother kept blabbering about wanting to see my girlfriend. They want me to bring my girlfriend home and since I don't want them to beat m
I got up around 7 am, I ate my breakfast and jumped into the shower. I wore the dress that Ares gave me yesterday and curled my hair before braiding my top half. I put my make up on and sprayed some perfume. I put on my highheels and looked at myself in the mirror. I look.. okay. I grabbed my bag and put my phone, cards and my powerbank. Just in case I need it. My phone rang and it's Ares. "Hey, I'm at the lobby. Come down." He said and I ended the call. I walked out from my apartment with my cupcakes and went down to the lobby. He's already opened his car window gesturing me to get in. I walked towards him and got into the car. "Good." He said."Hi to you too." I said sarcastically."I just need to act as your girlfriend right? We don-" "Did you read the full contract?" He raised his eyebrows."Nope, why?" "Read it when you get home and I'm going to help you do this today." "What is it?" "There's so many rules there and what a shame that you already signed it without reading
Surprisingly, Ares' family likes me a lot. They kept asking me questions and we laughed a lot. I liked his family and it made me miss my family more. "So your family don't live here?" Lily asked."Yes, they all live in New York." I smiled."I bet you miss them so much." She held my hand and I nodded. "I do but my brothers often come here to check on me." "How many siblings do you have?" Lily asked curiously."2 older brothers.""So Athena, what kind of food do you like to cook?" One of Ares' aunts asked. We're currently sitting at Lily's table so his family were all there."I like to cook western food but I can cook other cuisine too." "We have to go to her restaurant one day." Rachel suggested."I'll be so happy to serve you guys." I looked at all of them. I turned to see Ares flirting someone. I tried to control myself from rolling my eyes. "Don't worry about him, she's our family friend. I can tell Ares likes you a lot." Lily said and I wanted to laugh so bad but at the same t
2 years later.. "Juliet!" I turned to see Hanni screaming my name from afar. I chuckled seeing her and opened my arms widely."I miss you!" I said as she got into my arms. She hugged me tightly, it's been a while since we'be seen each other. She came to London to celebrate my graduation with me. "Hello Dante." I greeted Dante and gave him a brief hug. "Congratulations on finishing school, Jules." Dante said."Thank you!" "We will the folks come?" She asked."They'll come in a few hours, let's go to my apartment! I bought us food!" We got out from the airport and I drove back to my apartment. Hanni can't stop talking about her new business and I'm so happy for her. I'll be going home next month and the launch will take place pretty close.I bought lots of food already because I know they're staving. Hanni ate a lot while Dante was busy eating her left overs. Hanni and Dante's relationship is pretty cute because Hanni is loud while Dante is a good listener. He's not the type who wil
Juliet NollanWesley was trying his best to prevent me from going to London. He hates Darren more for supporting me than when we announced that we're dating. He was begging me and he will pretend to not listen when I talked about how excited I am. I went to London with my grandparents and I loved it even more. Darren and Hanni have been helping me pack and I'm so excited to go there.I've been counting days till I go and Wesley still hate it. I'm going to London tonight and I can't wait for a new chapter in my life. I knocked on Wesley's door and he opened it. He looked at me annoyed that he failed to cancel the plane ticket this time. Yes, he cancelled my flight a few times."Aren't you going to say good bye?" "Don't talk to me about that shit.." He hissed."I told you I'll come home often and I'll hang out with you more often." I said as he gestured me to get inside."Yeah.. no.""Wesley.""Juliet, we're over with this conversation. You won and you're going.." "But I want you to
Juliet Nollan"Come in." My dad called me to his studies and walked in there completely nervous. Everytime Wesley got out of there, his face was just.. on the floor. "Yes, dad." "Sit down." He said and he took off his glasses as he gestured me to sit down. I sat down and he looked at me seriously."Did I do something bad?" "No.""Uhmm.. did you get mad at your credit card balance?" I asked carefully because I bought.. some new gadgets to help me brainstorm my ideas. "No.""What is it then? I'm pretty sure.. I did nothing wrong these days." I said confidently."You're going to London, we can transfer you there for 2 years and have you finish your degree there." My eyes widen and looked at him disbelief. "I can?" "Yes, all the documents are finalized and all you need to do is just to.. go there on September." He said."Thank you!" I said as I walked towards him for a hug. He got up and hugged me. I pulled back and he showed me his iPad. "You'll go to Europe in less than two weeks
Juliet NollanDarren didn't even text me or call me for a day. I was anxious for the whole day and Hanni was so worried for me. I swear I almost cry in class because I kept thinking of Darren but didn't even dare to text him. As soon as the class finished, I got out and locked myself in the toilet. I cried.It's been a day but it felt like days for me. Hanni kept trying to talk to me but I was not in the mood to respond. I was just crying and crying. "I'll be outside, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria." I'm so thankful that she decided to give me some space. I kept crying and crying until I have no tears left to cry. I walked out from the toilet and walked to the cafeteria to see Hanni busy calling someone. She was going crazy and when she saw me, she immediately ended it. She hugged me and then I told her that I want to be left alone. I told her to go home instead of waiting for me. She nodded and left leaving me in the cafeteria alone. I turned off my phone and decided to go
Juliet Nollan"Who picked this dress?" He asked as he took a sip of water."Why? I should wear something like this more often." I said and I took a bite of the burger."No. I will dress you next time. I'll buy you a colorful nun clothes." I glared at him and he avoided my eyes."Funny.""I can buy all colors if you want.""No thanks, I don't like your style of clothing." "That's rude." He said and I chuckled."Don't be annoying ass, you love me in this dress." I hissed."I like it for my eyes only." "Yeah, you selfish bastard." I said as I kept eating."You look beautiful." He said and I can't help but smile. I turned to him and he was busy looking up to the sky."Dante and Hanni have something going on.." I said."I know." "You know?!" I looked at him disbelief. "Why didn't say anything?" "I wasn't sure, I heard about them a few days ago." "You're mean." I said and I took a bite."I don't think I should intervine their relationship. Hanni will tell you eventually too.." He said
Juliet NollanAfter Darren posted that pictures, my name was everywhere. On social media, TV, news and radia. They put my name, my photos and my background.Apparently Darren Conte successfully broke lots of hearts by announcing me on his instagram. He's popular and not to mention that I didn't even follow him. I rarely opened my social media and I used to have 10 followers but now I have almost a million followers. Some people hate me, some people love me. Darren started to post a lot of pictures about me. I told him not to but he didn't care. He told me that he wants everyone to know that I have a boyfriend. He even told me to wear a tee with his face. "Don't be ridiculous!" I hissed when he suggested that stupid idea."Why not? It would be.. cool.""Cool? A T-shirt with your face?" I asked and he nodded proudly."No.""Come on." He begged and I shook my head."Juliet!" I turned around to find Hanni and she gave me a hug. We're going to the salon together because we have an event
Juliet Nollan"It's beautiful." He took me to the top of the Empire State Building. "I know you'll like it." He said and I took my phone out taking pictures of the beautiful view. His penthouse view is breahtaking but this so much more. "This is just.. amazing." I said."Take a picture with me, we don't have any pictures together." He said and he wrapped his arms around my waist from the back. We took some pictures and it was cute."Send it to me." He said."No.""Juliet, can you please.. send the pictures to me?" He said and I chuckled nodding. I sent the pictures to me and I put my phone back into my pocket. I was more into the view and the cold breeze. It's like a dream come true. My phone vibrated and I took it out from my pocket. I opened the notification and Darren just posted our pictures on Instagram. He didn't write any caption, he just posted everything and tagged me. "You never publish your relationship." I said and I looked up to me."How do you know about that?" "Han
Juliet Nollan"What was that?!" Hanni said as we sat down. We're 20 minutes early so we have some spare time."What?""Did something happen when I ditched?" She asked and I turned away. "No way!" She gasped. "What?!" I ignored her as I took out my books."You slept with him, didn't you?" She whispered in my ear and I turned to her. Heat spearding across my cheeks and she pointed at me."Busted! Why didn't you tell me? You lost your virginity to Darren Conte." She said dramatically."Why didn't you tell me?! I need details!" She said as she moved from sitting beside me to sitting in front of me."How was it?" Her eyes were so wide that it looked like it's going to pop out. She's too excited for this."It was.. great." I said shyly."How did it happen? He seduced you?""It just happened, it was pretty intensed." I said and Hanni clapped her hands like a seal."Oh my god.. details please.." She said and I laughed."I'm not giving you any details." "Ugh!" She hissed."He came to my hou
Darren ConteBefore I met Juliet, I'll all about vanilla. I'm not the type who will be agressive, possessive and let alone being obsessive. Juliet brought that all out easily and I can say that I never thought I have that on me. When I was with Calista, I was the type who follow her rhythm. I always gave her freedom and apparently she hated it. She wanted me have control on her but it was just not in me. After meeting Juliet, I hated her for no reason or maybe I hated her because she pushed my buttons perfectly. I hated it how much it affected me and she successfully made me confuse.I spent 3 weeks when she's away to find answers and never got one until I just let myself go with her. I love every second of it and I felt more alive. I parked in front of her house just to watch her sleep another minute. I took out my phone to text Wesley about the situation and he's not happy. He hates me for hanging out with his sister too much. Not only him but Justin hates me too. None of them t
