Olivia walked up to the rooftop with tears in her eyes, everyone had lied to her, they were constantly lying to her, people she thought would tell her the truth was withholding it, it was painful, it was saddening.

She hated it here, she wished she had not come back, her parent had told her lies, and were still lying to her face, Chloe and Lawrence knew but didn’t tell her, and just now, she had found out there were more things she didn’t know about.

“Ah!” She shouted out in pain as she got to the rail of the rooftop, she felt a great ache in her chest, her breathing became heavy.

“Do you need a drink?” A voice asked behind her and she quickly turned, startled by the voice only for her eyes to fall on a young man who stood in the moonlight holding out a bottle of wine to her.

She didn’t glance at his face, he looked like a nuisance and she wanted to be left alone. “I don’t want company.” She glanced away from him. “You should read the room.” She added and ignored him.

He gritted his teeth, casting a cold glance at Olivia who was still sipping, feeling very tipsy."Huh?" Roy didn't under what he meant, but Asher didn't repeat himself, rather he ended the call.Roy glanced at the screen of his phone, the call already disconnected, he blinked and looked out of the window from where he stood, glancing around, he spotted Chloe."I should get that woman?"

    Olivia slowly opened her eyes, wincing at the harsh rays of sunlight streaming into the room. The pounding in her head intensified as she tried to recall the events of the previous night. As the memories slowly trickled in, she groaned, realizing that she had indulged in a strong drink that has been offered her by that man. Dragging herself out of bed, Olivia stumbled toward the bathroom, her head throbbing with each step. The mirror reflected a disheveled version of herself—messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and a complexion that screamed dehydration. Her reflection was a stark reminder of the consequences of a last night on the rooftop. She turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on her face, hoping it would provide some relief. As she looked at her reflection again, she couldn't help but chuckle at her own foolishness. "Why do I always do this to myself?" she muttered. After freshening up, Olivia ventured into the kitchen, where even the slightest noise echoed through her aching hea

    “Olivia.” Lawrence called out, he has gone to her house and her parents has just informed him that she just left home and he could catch up with her if he goes quickly, and he has just seen her, but what he didn’t understand was the tears in her eyes.Seeing Lawrence brought back hurtful words he has said at the party, they flashed through her mind and she immediately looked away from him and turned to Asher who was staring at her.She didn’t know why he was here, but being close to her parent, or her friends who were constantly betraying her trust was worse than being with a stranger that she has met on the rooftop."Hey!"

    Asher knew that first impressions mattered, especially when it came to meeting his parents. He wanted Olivia to make a positive impact, to be seen as a suitable match even though their relationship was merely a charade. If it was Jane, he wouldn’t have a problem thinking about making a positive impact, she was the best for him, the lady who suits him better, she was classy, elegant, dresses nice, one word for her was perfection, only that she ruined it by going to be with someone else. Asher glanced at Olivia, and shook his head, she was nothing compared to Jane, he glanced at her outfit and clicked his tongue. How can she run out of the house dressed like this? So discouraging, she really has a bad taste. “Where are we going?” Olivia asked him when they have driven for a while and she was heading further away from home, although this was what she wanted, but she couldn’t still push away the fact that he was a stranger. “You will see…” He told her. “We are close.” He made a U-turn
