PROLOGUE

SERENA'S POV

“Let’s end this worthless relationship,” Dominique opened up to me when I arrived at the restaurant he had chosen to discuss our falling apart relationship.

I was momentarily stunned by what was he said. Then I laughed bitterly as the words he uttered sank into my brain.

"Do you hear what you're saying Dom? After two fcking years then you'll break up with me? I've been a good girlfriend! I'm not just a woman you can easily dump after you're loathed! Dom, please!" I let out a furious shout that caught the attention of the people there. Fortunately, I am thankful because there are only few could see and hear our conversation.

"Serena, stretch yourself and don't mess it up. What you're doing now is embarrassing," he whispered as his jaws clenched.

I laughed bitterly again. I cried, for two years... I had done nothing but love him. Even being a cheerleader I entered because that was he wanted to. He was a famous basketball player at our university that's why he wished me to be his cheerleader. Fortunately, I became the cheer captain of the group, that's why many admire our relationship. But this nightmare happened.

"Embarrassing? That's really more important to you than the pain I'm feeling right now? Now tell me, what's the reason for your change? Have you had an affair? Aren't I the only one?" I hold back my tears because somehow I still feel sorry for myself. I don’t want to show him that I’m totally struggling because of his decision. He got up from his seat and turned his back on me.

"Sorry Serena, I can't stand with a very boring girlfriend like you. You're so boring. You know nothing to do but study and dance. I'm also a man Serena, there are things I want to do that you can't give," he said coldly before turning his back on me. A bitter smile flashed on my lips again.

"Like what? Sex? Is that all? If you want me to give it to you, just tell me! I'll give it to you! You're so superficial Dominique!" I shout. I no longer care if people looking at me that time.

"I love someone else Serena and I didn't love you since we started. I was just flirting with you because I was bored, I didn't expect you to get bitten by that idea because you're a smart woman," he said without emotion.

It was as if he had slapped me repeatedly and poured cold water on me because of what he had said. Does that mean he’s just fooling me and the sweet things he do and makes me feel like I am the only one aren’t true? Our plans after graduating college? Is it all just drawing? Am I just this fool that he quickly fooled and fell on it? I am a total idiot because I believed in his fvcking lies.

"I-I h-hate you Dominique. I-I h-hate you. Y-You will regret what you have done to me," I growled despite the trembling of my lips and the tightness of my chest.

"You don't mean anything to me Serena, you just don't mean anything to me." He kept walking away and without looking back. I was left alone in that place.

It was only then that I let out the tears earlier that I wanted to let out on my eyes. Fvck, that is hurts. It never crossed in my mind that we would end up like this. We already planned our future. We will graduate together, build our own business, build a happy family and travel the world after we pass our degree. But this is us now, gape? FVCK. I want to tweak myself while sobbing. I know people around me are laughing at me but I’m not in the mood right now to focused on them. I stopped my tears when I saw a red handkerchief in my front.

"It's not good to see for a beautiful woman like you to cry, there are many others out there. You know, maybe he's just there somewhere," said a voice. I slowly looked up to see who the man who owned that voice was.

A thin man was in front of me, he even grinned reason why his uncompleted and yellowish teeth appeared with more black stains of rot on the side.

I cried even louder because of the look of him. I quickly run out of that area to avoid that half-witted man. I sat outside the restaurant and there I continued my crying.

"Miss! You haven't paid yet." I stopped for a moment. I turned to face the man reluctantly and realized that it was the waiter of the restaurant. You're a total jerk Dominique, you will pay for all the embarrassment I suffered today.

I stood up and grabbed a few thousand money from my pouch and slapped them on the waiter's chest.

"That's it! Stick it in your lungs! The change is yours!" I badly said. Scratching his head, he bowed down to me.

"Sorry mam. I'm just doing my job," I suddenly felt sorry for him so I held out my hand to him.

Confusely, he looked at my palms.

"Where's my change?," I said while rolling my eyes.

"W-What?"

"Are you deaf? I said where's my change? That was your job, right? To return the change of the costumer?" I raised my one eyebrow to him.

"A-Ah just a minute and I'll get your change inside." He ran into the restaurant again, and because I had changed my mind again, I left before he came.

"M-Mam! M-Mam! Y-You're money didn't pay enough!"

I quickly drove the car away from that place.

"What's bring you here, bitch?" she lifted the corner of her lips as she open the door of her condo. She looked at me from head to toe and then quickly rolled her eyes before move away from me and walked inside again. I immediately followed her.

"Your brother dumped me," I complained crying but I didn't seem to hear anything. She slumped on the sofa and picked up the laptop. She started typing as if she wasn’t see me.

"Didn't you hear me? I said Dom broke up with me!" I shouted at her. She stopped typing and looked at me without emotion. Like his heartless stupid brother.

"So?" she replied. She focused on her laptop again and resumed what she was doing.

"So? So? That's all you can say? Are you really a friend? You don't have anything to say or advise for me? I'm your friend and your brother dumped me," I said angrily.

Her eyes rolled again as she stopped what she was doing. She closed the laptop then folded her arms to face me.

"Are you really saying that to me, Serena? I told you, didn't I ?? Don't hang along with my brother because I knew him so well that he was a jerk! But what? You didn't listen to me! You chose to follow your stupid heart! ” she pointed my chest using her finger.

"Now tell me? Am I not a friend to you? Because if I am not, go out of my condo because I have something more important to do than to listen on you're annoying cry!" she angrily shouted at me. I blown out a deep sighs.

I went towards her and hugged her. I cried on her shoulder and there I put all the pain down. I felt her sigh a few times before rubbing my back to comfort me.

"Don't waste your tears on that worthless person. Show him what he wasted." She stood in front of me and held out his hand to me. I sniffed my catarrh while looking at her palms.

"Gross," she uttered wearing her disgusted face.

"Let's go out and spend our time in salon. Make sure Dom regrets what he did to you. Even I am his sister I won't side him, because like you, I'm also a woman. So come on!" I just let her where she intends to take me.

First in the salon. She decided what my hair style would be. She decided to cut my hair with a shoulder -length layer. My hair is naturally blonde that's why she put ash gray highlights on it. I was thinking far away and let her do what she wanted to do to me. We also did facials and massages. Next we went to the mall, a few men were looking at us. Who isn't? Skye is beautiful, She's also a mixed nationality like me. Her fashion style is very rare, she dressed like a boy but it can't cover her beauty. Maybe if she even wear a rag, she still looked good. While me?

I am a cheerleader at our university. Tall because I am a half american. Campus queen if my fellow students call me. Many are jealous of me because of the number of men who want to flirt with me, but I don't really pay much attention to them because of Dom. And now that I’m free and ready to mingle, maybe I should entertain my suitors.

Skye and I wandered around until we reached the women’s section. A pretty bold dress caught my attention and an idea played on my mind. I started choosing clothes that I don’t usually wear. Even the styles of what I wore on my feet I changed, from flatshoes and rubber shoes I chose boots with high heels, stilletos of different colors, and high hill shoes. I never thought I would be able to wear them when one day comes. Skye looked at me confused.

"New life, new clothes?" she asked. I smiled in my mind. I will make sure Dominique regrets what he did to me. And what did he say? Boring? Let see how the boring girlfriend would be.

I excitedly carried up to my bedroom my chosen clothes excitedly but I stop myself from stepping as I saw mom and dad in the living room laughing while watching t.v.

"Hi mom, hi dad," I greeted them. I approached to give them a kiss. Mama jumped up and backed away as if scared of what I had done. Her eyes were clouded as she stared at me.

"Who are you?" mommy asked. I'm sucked with it.

"Mommy," I pretended to be annoyed while scratching my head. She laughed.

"What happened to you? Where is my daughter MariaClara?" it's a funny question.

"Is it ugly? Doesn't it suit to me?" I asked mommy while pouting.

"It's beautiful! You're beautiful my child!"

"I'm sure Dominique will love you even more," she added, teasing me.

"I'm going up." I coldly response before going upstairs.

"What happened to her?" my father asked.

"I don't know," Mom replied. They didn't know that Dom and I were separated.

When I got to my room I immediately picked up my phone to call my friends. I made a group video call and they answered right away.

"What's up, bitches?" Sunny asked.

"'You want to hangout tonight?' I asked.

"Ha !?" they react simultaneously. Because I'm the type of woman who doesn't interested in parties, that's why they're stunned.

"Serena? Is that you?" Sapphire asked in amazement.

"Yeah bitch, nothing else."

"Let me guess, Dom and you broke up?" Sapphire asked.

"I bet that was the reason too, haha," Sidney seconded.

"Shut up bitches. Tell me if you're coming or not." Skye was so annoyed that I knew she just wanted to cover me up to the rest of our friends.

"Join me!" Sunny excitedly said.

"Me too bitches!" second by Sapphire.

"What time?" Sidney asked.

"Just send me the place, I'll go there." Skye emotionless said.

They are my black sheep friends but I can't leave them. They are more than friends for me. They are like sisters who are always there for me. Willing to sympathize at all times. Sometimes they are naughty, but they are kind people. Although they are rich, they are the kind of woman who is easy to get along with. They are in on all things.
