It's midnight and I am wandering about in the busy and really cold streets of New York,
I am slightly drenched due to the drizzle from earlier today.Wondering why I am completely drenched on the street?Well, I have nowhere to go after what happened earlier. I regret ever telling him those three words, how could he after everything we've been through, I thought we were going to be end game but he just couldn't keep his stupid stick in his pants, and the worst thing about the whole situation was that he fucking brought a girl to our home, the little house we both rented when we were of age. I was stupid enough to think that he loved me.Earlier TodayHey baby, I would be going to work today, mind being alone at home? I asked.Yh, sure.I would be working on my application for the job at Henderson&co don't worry about me, he replied. Jax is very brawny with blond messy hair, big brown eyes, and full lips, the reason I got attracted to him at first sight. We met at a party which I got invited to by a friend in college 3 years ago, I got attracted to him and we started hanging out since then which led to us dating. He gives me a perk on the lips." I love you Bri", stay safe and don't stress yourself at work too much.I wishI love you and I won't. I hug him and head out. It was slightly sunny and windy when I stepped outside as the wind whipped through my black curly hair, I walked to my precious blue bug which was given to me 3years ago on my 18th birthday by my parents. I have been using it since then and it has never disappointed me.I got in and drove off. I got to work a bit early. Don Angie was a really busy place during the weekends, the restaurant was pretty full. Two old couples were eating side by side, a group of young women in their thirties collapsing with helpless laughter as two young adults looked on and frowned. There were businessmen in their grey suits lighting up cigars. Mmm hot.American tourists trying to decipher the menu. A family and their teenage children. The noise level was high, and the smoke level too but I didn't mind. I was used to it. The restaurant was cozy and a bit luxurious, not particularly small but expensive, bright-looking, vibrant and let me add very smoky. I walked up to the cash counter to Madison the cashier, I greeted her, she was the first person who spoke to me when I started working here which was about 3 years ago. I am an introvert so I don't have many friends, Madison is like my only friend and I am glad she's here. Madison completed college about 5years ago and was at the end of her rope after searching for a suitable job for months without any luck so she has been working here since then. She has beautiful short strawberry blonde hair, a shapely figure, glossy skin, a dainty nose, and blue slender eyes. Beautiful,yh I know.Hey Mads, I am in. Hey Brianna, you are in pretty early today, did you put a leash on your boyfriend today?.she laughed. Yep, I had to tie him to the bed today so he won't stop me. I replied sarcastically She rolled her eyes and said, "whatever, get to work already you are suffocating me." I laughed out loud and sauntered to the locker room to get changed into my work outfit which consisted of a blue stretch satin button front dress with sequin trimmed collar which showed enough cleavage since it was a bit tight, a hat and apron both with sequin cherry applique detail. Pretty fancy? I know.I walked out of the locker room quickly to start my shift which ended at 11 pm. I took a lot of orders from a lot of angry and moody customers which resulted in me getting tired and frustrated. Yh this work is shity, and it continued for a while.It was finally 10:30 pm, phew I can't wait to get the hell out of this shit hole. I was left with about 3costumers to attend to which meant I will be leaving early today. Yayy. I attended to every customer and was about to leave when a man in a grey suit entered the restaurant, I gasped when I realized who it was. Freaking Mr. Heinrich Henderson, a Business mogul, sole owner of Henderson&co and many other companies around the world, he was a billionaire and he was all over the news.OMG! OMG! OMG!. I mentally screamed. He was really hot, he had a strong sharp jaw and brown curly slicked-back hair, he had sharp amber eyes you could get lost in with thick long eyelashes and sculpted body, his biceps were almost bulging through the suit sleeves. He was about a head and some inches taller than me and I am 5'5. I wonder what's underneath his cloth, probably six pacs or maybe eight with a rock-hard chest.Hmm, yummy. I mentally gasped, did I just think that?. You have a boyfriend, you have a boyfriend, you have a boyfriend. Goddammit. I regained control of my stupid brain and finally spoke, Hi, you are welcome to Don Angie would you please have a seat so I can take your order. Meanwhile, his eyes were scrutinizing the restaurant and he looked like he was in really deep thought, I wonder what he was thinking about. I cleared my throat and spoke again. Um, sir, I would like to have your order would you please take a seat? He reverted his attention to me and gave me a stern look which caused a cold shiver to run down my spine, he looked like he was going to pounce on me any moment from now and eat me alive. Jeez, chill Wolfie.He walked past me to take a seat. I followed behind to take his order, hmm I could kiss this ass all day, you have a boyfriend, focus Brianna, when he settled in, I handed him the menu and stood rooted to the ground waiting for him to make his order. After a minute or two, I asked "what will you like to have sir? "he hadn't even spared me a glance since he walked in, he looked too serious and scary.OMG, why me?He looked up at me for the first time with empty, cold eyes. Your service is not needed excuse me for a moment. he replied sternly. I stayed speechless and rooted to the ground unable to move, how rude could he even get. Why me? I mentally cried, now I am going to get home late and Jax is going to be worried.Are you deaf? I made it clear that your service isn't needed, so move. he said I turned red with anger but I still managed to control myself. Um Sir my shift ends in exactly, I looked up at the huge clock on the wall,5minutes so can you please make your order so I leave because I have had enough of moody and peeving customers in a day.He looked up at me and simply replied, "No".I saw his lips stretch into a little smirk but it was gone as soon as it came. What the actual fuck, sir not to be rude but I will like to leave now so can I please take your fucking order. Yh that was rude but I don't care I hate driving at night and it's getting late plus Jax won't allow me to come to work here again. ugh. He looked at me without any hint of emotion and looked back to the menu without uttering a single word.I blushed red in anger and embarrassment and walked away. I went to the washroom and looked at myself in the mirror.My black curly hair was now a mess and my brown bright eyes had lost their brightness. I am a total mess, maybe I should find a less stressful job. After college, I wanted anything to do with business but since lack was not on my side companies didn't offer me a job so I had no other choice than to continue working here. I am going to keep on trying though I can't work here forever.After 10minutes I walked back to Mr. Henderson's table to take his order.What would you like to order say?. I said for the third time since he came. He looked up at me and stood up abruptly Nothing I would be taking my leave now, I have no interest in anything on this menu. He replied drilyI gasped. I was fuming now and I could smell smoke. How dare you? you made me wait for 10 fucking minutes just so you could leave without ordering anything, you are unbelievable I hate you!Mind your language miss, he repliedIs that all you could say! Really? you are such an arrogant, rude, bastard ugh, I can't stand you. With that, I turned and walked away angrily without giving him a last glance or waiting for his reply.How could he? I waited for more than 10minutes and he just had to leave without ordering anything. ughBreath in, breath out. I tried to calm myself down.I quickly changed back to my normal attire and walked out without sparing a glance at anyone.He had left already. Stupid selfish arrogant billionaire, who does he think he is treating me like that. I walked to my car and immediately drove off, I picked up my phone to call Jax so I could explain what happened so he wouldn't get angry at the fact that I was late. The phone rang four times and immediately went to voice mail.Why isn't he answering his phone? I turned on my radio to drown out all my thoughts about how rude that arrogant bastard was. I got home and parked my car I got off and took out my key I pushed it in but surprisingly the door was already opened This is weird he never leaves the door open.I got in and turned the lock. Jax! I called out, no answer? Hmm. I walked further into our apartment which had two rooms I walked to the corridor where the rooms were as I approached the door which was slightly opened, I heard two voices, one familiar.One of them moaned as he whispered something which broke my heart into tiny million pieces.You feel good TrishI gasped as tears began to form in my eyes"Baby I think we should stop, my girlfriend will be home soon it's late, come on". Jax said. I stood frozen to the ground unable to digest what was happening, tears blurred my vision and my hands were balled into a fist and shaking vigorously.The door creaked upon and I stood face to face with a panting Jax, this caused tears to pour down my face uncontrollably.Jax stood rooted to the ground with bulged eyes unable to utter a single word"How could you?"I whispered. Babe I can explain, it isn't what you are thinking we were just having an exercise session. He said. I laughed bitterly and said ''You still dare to lie to me after everything I heard?" A girl with shoulder-length blonde hair, plump lips, and big brown eyes walked out of the room in only her lingerie, she was also sweaty and panting profusely.Baby, what's wrong? She asked. "I was going to come before we stopped, you ruined it"."Not now Trisha, "Jax said to her. Trisha turned to me, she looked surprised for a second until her lips stretched into a huge smirk. Who is she? She asked, acting oblivious to the fact that she just slept with my boyfriend.I was sobbing uncontrollably now. How dare you Jax, you cheating bastard, you have been having affairs behind my back and acting as you love me?. It has been three fucking long years Jax why didn't you fucking tell me you didn't love me anymore? Babe, I am sorry, you weren't giving me what I wanted, we have had sex only once because you have always been busy with work and I was sexually frustrated OK?. He replied I looked at him with a confused expression and replied "You never mention this to me Jax and it still doesn't give you the right to cheat, I can't believe I fell in love with a monster" With that, I stormed out of the house with no destination in mind, ignoring my ex's pleading voice as tears poured down my face uncontrollably.Present It is already dawn and the clouds are gloomy and heavy with rain, I still have no destination in mind, my family isn't in New York so I have nowhere to go, I contemplate on calling Madison but I know she's going to choke me with loads of questions which I am not ready to answer. I want to clear my head and forget about that cheating bastard, I feel like this is a dream, Jax and I were like the perfect couple, we barely fought, the only time we fight is when we are picking a movie for a movie marathon or when we have to wrestle each for the left side of the bed which was a total cheat because he is way stronger than me. Those memories bring a smile to my face, sometimes life just decides to throw shit at you when you aren't even ready.Me:Life: Just take this, I don't care if you are ready or not.Me: what the hell, totally unfair I still love Jax, hell I don't know if I will be able to stop, I barely have any friends and he's the only one I depend on apart from Madison, h
The drive to the restaurant was short, I pulled up in the parking lot but stayed seated in my car. I realized I was wearing yesterday's clothes, but I shrugged the thought off since I had no other choice. I took out my makeup bag and put on a bit of makeup to cover up the dark circles forming under my puffy eyes.My head was throbbing and I had bloodshot eyes. Even though I could have taken a day off from work, I didn't. I had practically nowhere to stay, and renting an apartment in New York was quite expensive, so I decided it would be great to come to work today to tell Madison my house situation. I scanned myself in the mirror for the last time and got out of my car. The restaurant door was pulled open suddenly and out came a thin and lanky boy, he brushed past me with so much force and almost knocked me off balance. "What the hell?! " I shouted as the boy walked away.Way to start my day. I took in a deep breath and trudged into the restaurant. The place wasn't as crowded a
I have never been to a club before. Yh, shocking right? I never really loved or cared to meet new people, I loved staying indoors, listening to music, watching Netflix, and completing my assignments, I was sort of a nerd but I didn't care. Meeting people was too much work for me, I can't handle people and I tend to be awkward when having a conversation with someone both online and in reality.I felt the queasiness in the pit of my stomach when we got to the club, I wanted to go home and curl up in my bed but I had no choice, I was already here. We greeted the middle-aged bouncer who just couldn't keep his eyes off me, his eyes darted towards my chest, it felt like he was undressing me with his eyes with how he was staring at me. Ew. I looked away immediately not wanting to meet his gaze, We showed him our IDs and he nodded his head and ushered us in. I walked as fast as I could, thanking God I was finally away from the creepy bald bouncer. Wonder why they're all bald. I was engulfe
I feel like shit. I had been throwing up for the past five minutes, my stomach felt empty but I couldn't seem to stop throwing up. Liam and I had been having so much fun for the past 3hours, we were dancing when I had the urge to throw up. Now here I am. The alcohol is slowly fading out of my system but I am still a little tipsy. Nausea clawed at my throat, I tried to force down the bile but I was too late, I lurched forward yet again and threw up the content of my now empty stomach. I really hated the aftermath of drinking alcohol. I splashed cold water on my face, and rinsed my mouth, drowsiness was finally creeping up on me, I wiped my face with the back of my hand and trudged out of the bathroom. I needed fresh air. The club was now very clustered and suffocating, I staggered my way past a bunch of drunk and sweaty teenagers and spotted a door, probably leading to the back. I wonder where Madison is. I forced my way past drunken people making out, almost reaching the do
I cracked my eyes open and was almost blinded by the light rays streaming from the bay window, I instantly squeezed my eyes shut, feeling like my eyes had been pierced with several pins.I slowly opened my eyes again, finally adjusting to the brightness. I winced when a stabbing pain struck my head, I massaged my aching head soothingly trying to somehow reduce the pain. I silently thanked God when I recognized my surroundings as Madison's guest room which was now my room. Thank God Liam brought me home, I have to thank him for this later. My head felt like a cement block as I struggled to get out of bed, I gave up on trying as I groaned and fell back to the bed. My whole body felt like I'd been run over by a bus. Hungover is a bitch. I shakily reached for the water and Tylenol on the bedside stand, I swallowed the medicine and gulped down the rest of the water to assuage my thirst. My eyes fluttered close as some of yesterday's memories took over my mind, they weren't matching
"My oh my, look who we have here," he said coyly, his brown eyes darker than usual, he sized me up, his eyes lingering a little bit too long on my chest. I almost slapped my head in annoyance as I recalled that in my hurry, I didn't close my first two buttons, I shivered in disgust as he eyed me over like a piece of meat. I hurriedly buttoned my shirt as he turned to Madison and said gruffly "Don't you have somewhere to be, or do you think this restaurant pays lazy workers" "I'm very sorry sir", she replied her voice not sounding anything like apologetic, making him aware that she wasn't sorry at all."Leave and meet me in my office later", he sneered clearly annoyed at her dauntless attitude.As Madison walked away she threw me an apologetic look yet again over her shoulder.I sighed dejectedly, her apology couldn't do much.Mr. Dominic strolled towards me, not missing how his eyes glinted with mischief with a perverted look on his face. I would slap this bitch if he lays his hand
There are some moments when you wish you could just disappear or the ground could just split into two and swallow you up. Yep, Mr. Dominic's sudden appearances have me wishing that every single time. His evil stare causes my feet to wobble slightly, I tighten my hold on my bag and gulp as he approaches me with his trademark sly smirk etched on his lips, for some unknown reason my legs are glued to the ground as my eyes stay fixed on him. When he is already a few inches from invading my personal space he stops in his tracks and smiles widely as if he just found what he had been looking for so long. His creepy smile causes my heartbeat to pick up. He has been searching for every opportunity to have me alone and now he has it, I can't begin to imagine how happy he might be feeling right now.I wonder Liam is. The silence is so loud now, I take a few steps back and break the silence with my voice surprisingly and stupidly coming out squeaky. "I'm done throwing out the trash" I don'
I sigh in relief grateful for leaving that place, I turn to Liam, his face is straight and hard as he drives, he looks as if he is in really deep thoughts and suddenly realization hits me.Liam could be sacked from his job and it will be totally my fault. I caused this, I brought this upon him and there's no way I can payback."I am sorry"Liam turns to me briefly with a confused look."What for?" "Don't you realize you will definitely lose your job tomorrow, and it's all my fault, you shouldn't have saved me, I was doing well on my own you should have left Liam, you shouldn't have to save me every time" I rant gripping my bag tightly. He chuckles and I gape at him, why is he chuckling when he is already a jobless man?."Look Brianna the restaurant isn't my source of living OK?, I have enough money to last me a lifetime so you don't need to worry about me OK?" He says coolly as he drives My eyes go wide as I look at him "Then why were you working there richie?""Well, I was because
Third POVA week laterBrianna rushed out of her room at the sound of the door bell, Liam had informed her about visiting her soon because he literally had nothing to do on a Friday afternoon, he thought they could meet up and talk since it had been so long since they metPulling open the door, Brianna smiled brightly at Liam who was also beaming, “Heyy, Brianna drawled out shyly as she tucked a piece of hair behind her earsFor some reason the presence of Liam had her feeling kind of shy, Liam was actually quite a catch, he was tall, handsome and funny, exactly the things she wanted in a guy,“Okay so let me know when you’re done staring so that I can allow myself in” Liam spoke out after some seconds with a smirk evident on his lips, effectively snapping Brianna out of her train of thoughtsShe shook her head embarrassingly and stepped aside to allow her in, “I totally wasn’t staring” she rushed out as Liam walked into the house “Whatever you say sweetheart” Liam said in a singsong
HEINRICH’S POVMarcel, do you remember the brunette girl I asked to see in my office yesterday?" I asked my personal assistant and close friend, "Yes...I think I do" Marcel responded, as he titled his head to side, he was wondering why I was asking him about her."Haa Marcel, she has been on my mind throughout yesterday, I think I made a wrong decision firing her, I promise that girl was really pissing me off, and the most annoying part is that her hazel eyes are imprinted vividly in my mind and I can't get them out" I let out as I relaxed my back on the sun lounger. I heard Marcel gasp and I quickly looked up at him in curiosity, he had his hand over his mouth and his eyes were wide open as he stared down at me, I furrowed my eyebrows "What is going through that head of yours Marcel" I asked him in utmost curiosity "You like her!" Marcel exclaimed in a squeal like voice, he was now beaming and smiling ear to earI gritted my teeth at the words that came out of his mouth, and shot
I broke out into a cold sweat at the words that came out of Mr Billionaire's mouth "Wait, what?" I shrieked in disbelief "Yo-you want me to leave?" I stuttered, looking at him with wide eyes, I felt my heart shatter into tiny million pieces, Heinrich had his head buried into a paperwork as he cautiously went through the write ups, he broke the news to me nonchalantly as if it was the most easiest thing to do in the world"You heard me loud and clear" he slowly let out as he jotted something down "and I don't need to repeat myself" he continued, placing the pen down and looking straight at me emotionlessly"But why?" I desperately asked, my eyebrows raised expectantly. I at least needed to know why he wanted me gone when I hadn't offended him in anyway, well, maybe I did a couple of times but those were not valid reasons to dismiss me from my only source of living!"You talk too much" He plainly said in reply to my questionMy mouth was open in disbelief "But....""Miss Brianna as you
It seemed as though every staff in the restaurant had paused whatever they were doing just to stare like how Madison and I were staring. It was Heinrich, he was back again and this time it didn't look like he was here to order anything. His facial expression was stern as his eyes scanned the restaurant, he then turned to what looked like his bodyguards and said a few inaudible words before turning to look at us, this time, his gaze was fixed on us the employees, we had somehow gathered after he had arrived. "Madison, can you like not move?" I asked as I tried to hide my face behind her. She was a bit taller than me so I had no problem hiding my face except for the fact that she wouldn't stay still."Why don't you want him to see you, he probably doesn't remember you" Madison replied in a bored tone, her gaze still on the men"Oh trust me, he does remember me, so can you please stay still?" I desperately asked, peeking over her shoulder to see if he was looking in our direction."Girl
"I am going to kill him the next time we meet," I said with rage as I bit aggressively on my drumstick. It's not like it's going to be a very easy thing to do but I could try.Madison turned to give me a dry look before focusing her attention back on the television. Ever since Liam and I got home, Madison hadn't uttered a single word or even asked us how diner went, all she did was sneak glances and throw me her occasional eye rolls, she has never been this moody all the while I have known her. I guess her break up with stupid Simon is taking a huge toll on her. An exasperated sigh escaped my throat as I determinedly stood up and walked towards Madison whose attention was taken by the Mexican movie playing on the television."So are you gonna keep on giving us the silent treatment or what?" I asked with my arms folded across my chest, I positioned myself right in front of her so that she couldn't even steal a glance at the movie playing, I knew what Madison could do when she was an
I didn't care about the fact that I was in the male's toilet, not about the fact that I was seated on the bacteria-infested floor, and not even about the fact that I just had a very bad and embarrassing meeting with the devil's spawn, as I gazed up at him I felt like all the air had suddenly left my lungs, I felt like all the blood had been drained from my face, to sum it all up I looked like a statue who had her mouth agape, eyes bulged in shock, and who's heart was pounding like never before. "You're going to start drooling at this rate" he stated as he looked down at me with a smirk.I blinked and shut my mouth, quickly standing up I dusted my dress, trying not to make eye contact."So we meet again" I heard him say. Finally mustering up enough courage I slowly looked up, he stood there with both his hands shoved into his pocket as he looked down at me, the smirk I saw earlier had vanished, his angel-like face was stern, he looked somewhat intimidating. "Thank you for last time
Heinrich's PovI subtly glared at her as she picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth. I wished I wasn't in this position this moment, the smell of her perfume and her too long red painted artificial nails irritated me to the point of insanity, but I had to do this, just to win the damn contract with her father."Isn't this restaurant so beautiful" she said, her bright red lipstick coated lips stretching into a too huge smile which almost looked fake as she batted her eyelashes."Yeah right, I booked it specially for you" I replied as I tried hard enough to hide the irritation in my voice. She twisted her head to the side as she looked at me with raised eyebrows. Shit, she has finally noticed my irritation."Ah I can see you aren't really comfortable here, want to go somewhere else?" Her supposedly sweet smile appeared again as she outstretched her hands towards mine, her fingers grazing mine repeatedly, she bit her lips seductively as she sized me up. I locked my jaws a
Tension filled the house as Madison, Liam and I stood awkwardly in our respective positions still trying to process what had just happened.I turned to look at Liam who immediately diverted his gaze downwards as he bit his lips. Madison on the other hand was as red as a tomato with her hands balled into fists, she was obviously still trying to bottle up her anger towards Simon, which led to my conclusion that the two rabbits were actually dating. Well, I guess not anymore now. I looked back and forth between the two statue-like figures and shrugged, I suppose they aren't ready to move or talk like normal humans. I walked out of the living room and headed directly towards the kitchen in hopes of finding anything I could nibble on, My heart grew as I found a piece of toast on a plate on top of the counter, I rushed towards it in excitement and almost grabbed it but was rudely interrupted by Madison. "Don't you dare touch my food" I turned towards a frowning Madison who had her
Another loud moan pierced through my ears causing me to immediately turn around as I walked out of the house banging the door loudly in the process so that the two rabbits could be aware of my presence.Walking in on your best friend going on at it with someone isn't a very part pleasant sight, now I have such sickening event forever etched into my innocent memory. Perhaps she had already forgotten she had a roommate and that doing it in the living room wasn't a very good idea.Seconds after I slammed the door, I heard shuffling and cussing from the other side making me aware that they had already found out about my arrival.I turned around as the door was thrown open revealing a sweaty and panting Madison who had a huge T-shirt on. "Sorry Bri, I have a visitor"I rolled my eyes and walked past her into the living room as my eyes immediately caught that of her "visitor" who thankfully had his pants on and was sitting on the couch with his leg crossed, remote in hand. He threw me a fri
