I caught her in her room. She was apparently having a huge appetite because she had a lot of things from the kitchen laid on her bed and was munching on all of it.
She heaved a heavy sigh when she saw me enter.
"Let's not do this again and again." She said in a bored tone.
"Honestly Olivia, I don't think I give a fuck about you anymore so no, I'm not here to ask if you're alright or if there is a problem because fuck you, you don't deserve my concern."
"Then why are you here?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "Did you enter the wrong room? The door is right behind you."
I ignored what she said and took a seat on the bed. "Why did you tell Heather about what you saw this morning?" I cut to the chase.
Her eyes widened. "I told her not to mention me!"
"Tell me why you did it. You knew that Heather and Ethan are dating and when you saw him come out of my room, you automatically assumed that I was sleeping with him and ratted me out. Didn'
The first thing I registered when I woke up was that the bed was moving and I looked to see that Ethan had woken up and was hurriedly getting out of bed and putting on his watch and shoes."Ethan," I said and he must have been surprised because his eyes widened."I'm sorry, Juliet. I don't know why I always do this. I'm not doing it intentionally. I just...always find myself here in the morning. I can't help it. I can't go to sleep unless I have a drink but then I always end up here. I know you said you like Vince-""Ethan, it's fine. I don't mind. I want to tell you something.""Yes! I know what it is. I'm supposed to keep my distance and I promised you that I was going to like you from afar so I'll make sure I won't come knocking on your door drunk again."He quickly got up and grabbed the rest of his things before rushing towards the door."No, that's not it. Listen! Wait!"But he was already out the door.I groaned into my
I pinched his cheeks and he shook my hands away. "You aren't, prince.""Prince?""Yes, my prince."He shook his head. "Hold up. Last time I checked, you were dating Vince! Now I'm suddenly your prince?""I'm not dating him. I was just pretending to date him in front of you." I clarified."Pretending? That pig was going to kiss you at that party but I interrupted your romantic moment."I shook my head. "He was just making it seem like he was going to. He just wanted to see if you'd get jealous.""Well I did. Mission accomplished. So what?"I sighed. "And he just wanted to make you believe that we were dating.""But why did you do that? What was the reason?"I didn't answer because answering it would mean that my secret would be out and I wasn't going to do that until next month."Well?" He urged."I'll tell you some other time. Please, trust me.""Juliet, if you wanted to play you could have as
When I woke up the next day I knew something was wrong. Nothing was really out of place or something. I just really felt like the atmosphere was tense.When I got down to the living room there were a lot of people than usual. I didn't expect to see Heather, Amelia, Olivia, Vince, Tristan, my parents and Ethan in the living room looking very grim first thing in the morning. I could feel the tension emanating from them.Heather looked worried about something and so did everyone else.For a second I thought that Heather told everyone about me but when everyone's eyes flickered to me and looked away without any interest, except for Ethan, I knew that I was safe."Hey girlfriend!" Vince said and waved at me.I gritted my teeth as I saw Ethan silently glaring at Vince.I strode over to him and punched the side of his shoulder."Were you trying to cheat on him with me?" Ethan asked."No no no. He doesn't know that we don't have to act
"Mother, stop. I'm not sick. I'm normal and so is me liking girls. How can you talk to me like that?""You aren't normal. I knew it from the second we adopted you. You're a disgrace to my name and I wish I wouldn't have adopted you. You lowlifes deserve nothing like the life I provided you. You're such an ungrateful brat." She spat acidly that made me take a step back subconsciously."You're crossing a line here. I said stop it!" Justin yelled at her but she paid him no attention. Ethan who was standing next to Heather grabbed her mother's hand and shook it off of her."Aunty, please stop. You're being too harsh on her. What you're saying is very offensive and so I'd like it if you didn't say anything anymore." Ethan said, struggling to keep the polite tone in his voice."You! Weren't you dating Heather? Are you the one who gave her the disease?""No, I wasn't dating Heather. It was just to ensure that you didn't marry her off to someone against he
After debating with myself, I finally decided to go talk to Heather. She had gone through a lot in a single day and I wanted to make sure she was okay.I pushed open the door of her room where she'd be staying for a few days. It was about five and I could see that she had only just taken a shower. Last night she couldn't sleep because she was planning to reveal herself and she was so nervous, she couldn't get any sleep so after the morning drama, she went to sleep and had only just woken up."Hey, come in." She invited me in and so I went and sat on a chair. "What brings you here?""I just wanted to know if you were okay.""I'm fine now." She said and attempted a tiny smile but evidently she was still sad.We were quiet for a while and I scrambled my brain for what to say. "You surprised me with your reveal. I never imagined you'd be into girls. You were fake-dating Ethan all these days and you guys kissed on several occasions-" I stopped and cring
Heather had rented a really nice apartment nearby and she wanted to move there. We told her that she could stay here longer but she was adamant and always had wanted a place of her own.Patricia had officially disowned her and thrown away Heather's things that were in her house. But what she lost was a much greater loss compared to Heather's things. She lost a good daughter and her husband.Justin had talked to his lawyers and they were soon getting divorced. Patricia had thought he wasn't serious when he said that he was going to divorce her and had taken it lightly but when she got the divorce papers she freaked out and the media covered a lot of what happened. A lot of prominent people came out in support of Heather and Patricia was rebuked for her actions.Everything was going back to normal and Heather was focusing more on her work and travelling to keep her busy.I had more time on my hands and I was going to utilize it to get closer to Ethan. Now t
I thought a lot about how I was going to ask him out and I couldn't come up with anything. It wasn't everyday that I had to plan something special for a special someone. It was actually the first time that I had to do something like this.But then I decided that a way to a man's heart was through his stomach and I knew how much of a foodie Ethan was and I knew what I had to do, all thanks to Keith and his magical hands.I was going to cook for him. I was going to set it up prettily which would look romantic and then I was going to ask him out. Picturing this in my mind made me so giddy for the evening. I couldn't wait to get started and pour all of my feelings for him in the dish I'd make.I had already told him to get off work a little early that usual so that we could have our special dinner before everyone else.After an hour or two after lunch I was going to start with my cooking and I had asked for me to be alone in the kitchen and for there to be ne
He knew the question was coming as the night progressed but he still looked surprised."I came up with an idea and you might not be entirely happy with it." He said after a few seconds."I think I'd be fine as long as you give me a chance.""I'll give you three dates. These dates aren't just any normal dates. In these three dates you have to prove to me that you are sincere about your feelings. I don't know how you're going to do this but I know that what you'll have in mind for us will tell me how much thought and heart you put into it. You can take your time planning them.""Sounds like a business deal.""Sorry about that. As you already know, I'm a businessman. We don't involve emotions when there is something we can lose or gain. These are my efforts to protect my heart.""But feelings aren't something you should treat with a business approach.""I know. I'm sorry.""What happens after these three dates?""I score yo
