Sacha's POV
"Euuugghhhh!" Remy groaned from the couch the following morning, "I feel like a dick that is stuck in a very tight underwear and can hardly breathe," she finished, causing me to let out a loud laughter. Remy always had the craziest set of things to say.
"That's what happen when you drink too much alcohol," I told her as I started preparing a fresh batch of pancakes for breakfast in the kitchen.
"How the hell did we get home?" she asked, coming into the kitchen and heading for the fridge.
"Christian dropped us home. He even carried you to the couch."
"Okay, hold up! Who the fuck is Christian?"
"The guy from the club, I doubt you'll even remember when I told you that he caught me from falling."
She huffed, indicating a 'no'.
"He's handsome though. His eyes are like vibrant green, my fingers wanted to ruffle his jet black hair. When he caught me, I thought I was being caught by a god."
"You know you're drooling, right?" Remy cut in , "And burning those damn pancakes."
"Oh shit!" I let out as I flipped the pancakes to the other side. Remy laughed and shortly after, Judy came into the kitchen to join us for breakfast.

After breakfast, Remy and I sat at her computer. She was trying to find something on Christian.
"You're not going to find him like that," I let out after ten vain minutes, "Guys like him probably like a private life."
"Oh come on, a guy that handsome - as you said - is bound to have an online profile." She wasn't giving up, and when she put on her glasses, I knew there was no stopping her.
"AHHA!" She yelled and she turned the computer's screen towards me with a wide smile on her face.
"Christian Alexander. The now twenty-six year old has had one of the most successful year, making him the CEO of his late father's company. The billionaire was seen celebrating with his closest friends at a night club last night," I read aloud, and at the bottom of the screen, was a picture of Christian, fully dressed in a formal attire and the phone number to his company, address of the company and email address.
"OMG." I looked at Remy with a surprise expression on my face.
"A billionaire!" She couldn't contain herself. "Sacha, you've got to get with that."
"No no no no no. I'm not even going to. Remy, he's WAYYY out of my league. I can't. Dude is a fricking billionaire!"
" Sacha, quit being so shy. There's nothing wrong in contacting his job or even going there to see him. He could be your friend. He could be the one to help you out of your struggles. Maybe he can give you a job at his company. You'll never know until you try.Do you really wanna sleep on my uncomfortable couch forever?"
I shook my head no. I hated that couch.
"Okay, how should I contact him really, without looking like some stalker or a desperate bird?"
"Call him," she answered.
I hesitated, but Remy being the bold person that she is, took the phone and dialed. I waited and listened.
"Hi good morning, I'm calling for Mr. Christian Alexander please," she spoke in the receiver.
My heart was racing when I heard the person's voice, whom I assumed was his secretary or personal assistant, "May I ask who's calling?"
"Sacha Rish," Remy used my name.
"Please hold while I transfer your call."
"Here, here, here," Remy moved the receiver to me but I was too scared to take it.
"Sacha! Take the damn phone! The call is being transfer right now."
"No no no. Hang up. I never told you to call him. Hang up." I grabbed the receiver and put it back on the hook, ending the call.
"Why in the hell would you do that?" Remy wasn't pleased.
"I'm not ready to talk to him again. I believe in fate. If I have to see him again, then it should be on fate's term and not yours." I walked away and went to join Judy in the bedroom.

The same afternoon, when Remy had put on a movie and we were stuffing our faces with popcorn and ginger-ale sodas, a knock came on the door.
"Expecting anyone?" I asked Remy.
"No," she replied without looking in my direction. She was now too caught up in the movie and so was my kid sister.
"Fine, I'll get it," I said and peeled myself off the couch and went to the door.
"She's not expecting anyone," I said as the door was being open.
"You called my office today?"
My mouth fell open, a few chewed popcorn falling out.
Christian came.
Sacha's POV"Are you going to invite me in, or just stare the whole time?" he asked with a smirk."What..oh yeah, sure, come on in," I gestured as I moved out of the way to let him through. He walked in as if he owned the place and when his eyes landed on Remy and Judy in the living room, he turned to me."You remember Remy?" I asked. Remy's mouth dropped opened too and Christian laughed."Yes, the one I had to carry," he recollected."Right, and next to her is Judy. My kid sister.""Hi Judy," he greeted with a wave and Judy waved back to him."You two wouldn't mind if I steal Sacha for a few hours?" he asked them and I felt butterflies in my stomach.Are we going somewhere?Is he about to ask me out on a date?"She's all yours," Remy quickly let out.He turned to me."I'll go get d
Sacha's POVThe next afternoon, I held onto my cellphone with shaking fingers as I dialed Christian's number. I brought the phone up to my ear and my heart beat increased with every ring."Christian," his voice came."H..hi, it's me. Sacha," I stuttered but managed to let out.He remained silent, just listening, so I spoke again. "I've made up my mind and I accept your offer.""Are you sure? I don't want you to feel like you're being forced or manipulated by me. I need this to be one hundred percent your choice," he explained."It is my choice," I quickly covered."Good. I'll see you in thirty minutes.""Wait, you're coming to get me?""Yes," he responded before hanging up the phone.____I ran into Remy's bedroom to get freshened up and dress. I slipped into a black lace panties and a matching bra.
Sacha's POV"How is it possible to not get all up in feelings for him? That dude is finer than baby hair," Remy said when I explained to her about the contract, which was something I shouldn't be doing either but Remy was my best friend."I know right. But if I want twelve million dollars, I can't develop any feelings for him. He said if he catches the tiny bit of feelings, he'll end it.""Then what about after the contract expires. Are you just supposed to pretend like y'all never fucked?""I guess so," I answered as I stepped out of Remy's shoes and my dress. I hooked up my hair for bed. Judy was already asleep and it was almost mid-night. I fought a yawn as my phone vibrated on the couch."Hello.""I need you right now.""Christian, but it's almost mid-night. I'm also getting ready for bed.""You've read the contract. It said you have to please m
Sacha's POVI sat on his special-made bed in his bedroom, waiting for him to get out of the shower. It was now time for our very first encounter and I was shaking like a leaf during a storm."You're still dress?" he asked, stepping into my vision, wrapped with a white bath towel around his lower body. He looked at me attentively as I got off the bed and started taking off my clothes."Slower," he ordered and I obliged. I removed the straps to my dress as if I was in a slow motion film and Christian was the director. The dress dropped to my feet and I stepped out of it."Leave those on," he ordered again, stating that I should remain in my underwear.He moved closer towards me and pulled me against his rock hard chest. He trailed his lips to my neck, just as before, and sucked on my sensitive parts. He then tilted my face upwards to his and kissed me passionately. I responded as best as I could. Wave
Christian's POVI pulled onto the pavement and Audrey immediately got out of the car when it came to a stop. She walked quickly into the mansion and I followed behind."It's nice that you're finally home, Christian. How was work?" Her voice carried anger."Work is work. What's the matter with you again?" I asked her as I checked my emails in my phone."You're seriously asking me that question? YOU'RE NEVER HOME! I feel like it's me alone who's in this relationship here.""Audrey, why are you complaining when this is what you asked for? You knew about my busy schedules but you wanted to move in with me regardless. You chose to quit your job because I've got money. Now you expect me to stay at home with you and keep you company?""I want a baby, Christian!""And I told you that I'm not ready for kids!""We've been together for two years, Christian! Tw
Christian's POVI gathered the guys in my living room the very next day. I handed them each a cold beer before taking a seat, opposite them."So, what's up man, are we on for the trip or not?" Kevin eagerly asked before drinking from his beer."No, because someone couldn't keep their mouth shut!" I answered and dart my eyes on Tim. He gulp and drank his beer as a diversion."And, my mother is coming over this weekend," I finished and my friends' faces turned sympathetic. They knew my mother was a very obnoxious woman who always wanted things her way or no way at all. She thought she was always right and her favorite line was 'mother knows best'."Christian, I'm so sorry. I left a message and Audrey must have listen to it. I just wanted to know if we were taking your private jet or mine," Tim explained."Look, it's fine. That's Audrey for you. We could always do the Caribbean trip an
Sacha's POVThe very next morning, I was rather nervous about packing and moving out of Remy's place but I knew I couldn't stay with her forever and this was for the better.I collected some large garbage bags from her kitchen and started throwing all my belongings, along with Judy's, into them. At mid-day, Remy came home and saw me packing."Sach! What's going on?""Hi, I'm..ah...Judy and I are moving out but I want to thank you for having the both of us here," I told her."Moving out? To go where?""I found a place.""What place? Where? Why didn't you say anything to me about this before?""Remy, I just got the place, and it's for the better. You're always telling me that I can't sleep on your couch forever.""I know you can't but this is too sudden. Is this about the stuff? Sacha, I'll give you back everything, I swear."

I got her prepped extra early for school but that wasn't necessary since the school bus picked her up right in front of the front entrance to our gate.After she had left, I decided to invite my best friend over. I didn't want her to get the wrong impression of me no longer wanting anything to do with her. I'll always be appreciative for what she had done when I needed her the most.Within the time span of three hours, Remy showed up at my new place. I had already prepared hot wings, one of her favorites, and I put on a movie on the seventy inch flat screen television in the living-room."Well, this is certainly nice," Remy said as she walked in and started looking around."Thanks," I responded and handed her a plate."So, you'll soon have your first million dollars?" She sat down.

My husband wasn't home as yet and I patiently awaiting his arrival.When dinner was being served, Christian came. He freshened up quickly before joining us in the dinning room."Hey beautiful. How was your day today?" he asked me with a quick kiss on the lips."Entertaining," I answered."Nice. And Judy, how was your day?""As usual," she answered."Judy, we're about to have dinner. Put the iPad away," I instructed to my kid sister who was getting as tall as I was."Sorry," she apologized and complied.______After dinner, I put Champion to bed and I got freshen up. Entering into the bedroom, Christian pulled me into his arms but I hesitated."Is something wrong?" he asked me."Everythin

Sacha's POV"Sacha, you have that look in your eyes. Don't do anything crazy," Josh cautioned."Josh, I just found out I've been best friends with a snake. A cobra that's spitting venom on my life to tarnish me. What have I ever done to Remy to deserve this betrayal AGAIN?" I lashed out.I shouldn't be taking my anger out on Josh. He didn't deserve it but I was hormonal and I wanted Remy's head on a platter."I understand your pain. She's the cause for.....""She's the cause of everything falling apart from around me," I cut Josh off and finished.He nodded in agreement and sat down beside me on the couch. Remy would be home any minute now and I couldn't wait for her to walk through the door.We sat in silence until I heard the door being opened and Remy walked in.As if possessed, I heaved myself off
Sacha's POVI couldn't visit Judy without seeing Christian as well. Although he was still in a coma and no telling when he'll wake up, I still wanted to be close to him.I sat next to him quietly as I observed his motionless form. Memories flooded my mind.The first time I saw him at the club.When he pulled up and offered me a ride home.When he took my virginity away and used the term 'make love' instead of 'fuck'.The times when I talked to him about my troubles and he gave me his entire Summer house that looks more like a freaking mansion."You have to wake up," I whispered in his ears as I held his hand.And then I felt it. I felt his fingers wrapping around mine and a firmed hold occurred.Happy tears slipped from my eyes as his eyes star
Sacha's POVI was glad to have Remy in my corner like a time like this. I needed my best friend back and I had her.After hours at the hospital, after down pour of tears and after I threw my hormonal tantrums, I was at home resting on my favorite couch.I mind instantly went back to Christian. He had me on this couch just some hours ago, kissing me and holding me in his strong arms.I exhaled heavily. No matter how much I tried to calm myself, my mind would visit memories of him or my little sister and I would get angry all over again.I reached for a vase and smashed it and screamed with rage and pure anger."Sacha," Remy said."I needed to let that out, Remy.""How about we try to take your mind off what happened?""How? Huh? How are you going to do that when my life is practic
Sacha's POVI simultaneously glanced at the clock again and tried Christian's number for the thousandth time.It wasn't like him to ignore my calls when he was out with my little sister."Hey," Remy said, walking into the living room area to join me."Hi," I answered coldly."What's wrong?" she asked, looking as I removed the phone from my ear to no avail of getting Christian."Something is wrong. I have this pit feeling that something is wrong with Christian and my sister.""Oh, come on Sacha. He took her to the doctor. What can possibly go wrong? His phone is probably in the car and he's with Judy, spoiling her with shopping and stuff.""No. Judy isn't well. I don't believe he'll take her shopping after the doctor.""Well, maybe they went to get a bite to eat. Don't worry yourself too muc
Sacha's POV "Christian? What are you doing here?" I was shell-shocked. He was there, right in front of me, smiling but panting as if he had been running laps around the world. "You." He came closer to me, our lips barely an inch apart. He cupped my face between the palms of his hands and looked right into my eyes. "You're all I need. I needed you before. I need you right now. I need you forever," he whispered in my ear before kissing me on the cheek. "But... But... Your wedding, your fiancee," I stuttered. "That is over with. All I need is you Sacha. I want to have a family with you. I want us to to raise our child together and I want to be there for Judy. She's a great kid." Happy tears slipped out my eyes. I must be dreaming. I've been too obsessed with Christian Alexander that it reaches to a point where I was imagining him confessing his feelings to me on the
Sacha's POVI allowed Remy to crash at Christian's summer house while she grieved and I silently coped with the heartbreak from not having Christian in my life.It was Saturday. The day of Christian's wedding. There was to be a live stream on the whole event and I had logged on to view it. I wanted what was best for him and to see him happy even if that meant seeing him married someone else."Hey, good morning," Remy greeted me when she saw me sitting by myself on the patio close to the outdoor swimming pool."Good morning," I answered and tried hard to cover the sorrow in my voice."What are you doing?""Oh, umm, watching the early preparation for the wedding.""What? Sacha, no. You can't be doing this to yourself," she said and took my cellphone away and turned off the live streaming."Christian made his choice. You just need to accept that and mo
