Chase POV ~earlier today ~ I dreadfully drove through the gate of my father’s villa. Every other sim will be happy to be returning home after such an award of honor but not me. Although this week, my name has been on everyone’s lips in the whole country. Singing praises to me. Well everyone except my dad. My dad is supposed to be my support but unfortunately for me, it is quite the opposite. Earlier this week, I won the award for the world's best model of the decade. The award has brought glory to my country because it's been forty year since someone from America won that award. Everyone is extremely happy about it and like I said earlier, except my dad. He had never for once congratulated me for any of my success. My dad owns a very big company and also the biggest mafia organization in New York. He had accepted both my elder and I to come and work at the company or join the mafia organization as soon as we became of age. But to his disappointment, I refused and became a model i
Lisa’s POV I feel I was lying on top of something very soft and cozy which for sure isn’t my tiny bed. I opened my eyes only to find myself in a beautiful room. I felt like l could lie on the queen size bed forever but how did I get here? Only drug dealers, mafias, celebrities, royalty and of course rich kids afford such a place. But I am surrounded with broke people, none of my friends are ballers. Then what am I doing here? I could hear my heart racing so fast. I peeped inside the duvet and I had on a white to shirt. But I wasn't in pain, in fact I have never slept so peacefully. "Did they take my kidney?" I began talking to myself. I touched my abdomen and there were no stitches. "Do they want to offer me as a sacrifice?" I said a simple prayer as tears streamed down my face. "God I am a good girl, let me not die like this. I know I shouldn't have trusted that stranger in that bar. Please don't let him harm me. How couldn't I have realized he was a fraud with a cap and glasse
Lisa’s POV I got back to sleep after he left only to wake up with the sound of the doorbell. "Stop ringing the doorbell..." I pleaded before shoving a pillow over my face hoping it would stop. But it seemed the person on the door was persistent. I staggered from the bed, cursing the person on the door beneath my nose. When I walked into the living room, I began to look around and forgot Someone was at the door. There was a huge photo of a soaring eagle, a glamorous chandelier, a coffered ceiling, and classy black sofas. I was busy looking around when I heard the doorbell again. Sweet Lord, I forgot.I face-palmed myself. "Who is it?" I asked, my hand already on the door knob. "It's the pizza you ordered." I twisted the door knob and opened it. "Here is your pizza!" He offered me a half smile. "Thank you..." "My tip?" "I don't have any tips." I slammed the door on his face. I placed the pizza box on the table and continued looking around. I held one of the elegant and richly textu
Chase POV After the runway practice which we are preparing for the New York fashion week, I couldn't help but laugh remembering the crazy night and morning I have had. For once in a while I was excited to go home. It actually took me by surprise that she didn't recognize me. I can finally be friends with someone who doesn't care about my status. How can a girl be weird, funny and crazy at the same time? Lisa you are something you know. "Why are you so happy bro?" Luke, my best friend, squeezed my shoulder. He is also a model like me. "What? I am just happy..." I looked away embarrassingly. "Who is she? Another one night stand I don't know about" He looked at me curiously. "It's none of your business...." I replied dryly. "Since when don't you tell me about your one night stands" "No, I have to know what's making you happy. It's been a while since I saw you smile.Since Clara went to California one month ago, you have been gloomy..." "I am just happy. No one night stand, no noth
Chase POV I woke up, switched on the lights and turned around to check on Lisa only to find her space empty. "Lisa?" I called out walking towards the door when I realized the large glass door that allows you to go to the balcony was open. I walked to the balcony and stood beside her. She was so busy on her phone that she didn't notice me. "What are you doing out here so late at night?" "It's so calm.I can't remember the last time I had a quiet and peaceful night..." She turned to look at me. "Why are you awake?" She asked. "I woke up to check up on you and you weren't there..." "Don't worry Chase, I am not stupid to kill myself or throw myself over the balcony..." He chuckled and got back to her phone "I hope you are not texting Kelvin!" I said in a commanding tone and she just shook her head "You know he doesn't deserve you..." I sighed. "Where I come from I am used to screams at night, gunshots, riots that I didn't realize how much I had missed a peaceful night. The night i
Chase POV It felt really awkward and I didn't know what to do.So I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep."You are a bad actor Marcus..." "Why are you up so early?" I faked a yawn. "Your acting skills are so terrible...Your facial muscles are so tense..." She pulled away like half of her body wasn't on top of me. "Lisa, my body is so sore. How do you sleep like you are in a karate class?" "I forgot to tell you, I sleep so horribly. I am not the type who sleeps like statues at night" "Go get ready, I am taking you somewhere..." "Where?" "Just go get dressed Lisa." I kissed her on the forehead and left for the bathroom. I stood under the icy cold shower water, my hands on the glass trying so hard to shake Lisa's thoughts off my mind.bAs every second passes by, I can't stop thinking about her. "Lisa got off my thoughts..." I breathed out and began scrubbing my body. Every time we were so close, every nerve in my body suddenly flew at one spot..When I got out of the bathroom,
Lisa’s POV My eyes were stuck on the window but I was lost in thoughts. I couldn't get the scene earlier from my head. I felt a slash on my heart when he pushed me off him and ran to the bathroom. I can bet my life it wasn't his sister on the phone. He looked tense and scared when I walked into his room. It was like he was doing something wrong. I didn't like what I was feeling, I have just known him for three days.What if he is dating?A part of me tried to convince me it wasn't my business while the other part prayed so hard not to be true. My sadness was an ocean of unknowable depths.I leaned my head on the passenger's seat and closed my eyes when my phone pinged with a message.I sat upright quickly to check and it was from Claire.Claire : Short woman you better come back soon, the landlord will lock us out soon. He doesn't seem like he is joking this time round.I didn't reply. I just switched off my phone and went back to my former position. Why can't things go right in my li
Chase POV I couldn't help but feel guilty. She didn't deserve all the lies I have been telling her. But at times you need to be a little selfish, I get to be myself with her and I don't think I am ready to give up on that."You won Lisa." I wasn't even excited to win.I know she lost intentionally to make me happy."I know you lost intentionally?""Was it that obvious?""Yeah..." I replied dryly and threw the controller on the floor."Why are you sad and stressed? Tell me maybe I can be able to help?""Trust me Lisa, it's not that serious...""I thought we were friends.""I got this Lisa.Trust me...""Why don't we drink? I feel a little tensed up too...""Are you sure you can handle a glass of wine?" I teased her and she ended up slapping my arm."Douchebag, yes of course...""Then let's go drink and see who passes out first?" I suggested and she clapped her hands excitedly."Let's do this Marcus ..."I took two bottles of wine and whisky from the custom bar cabinet and took them to m
