Chapter 1

I've always loved him. I loved him since the day we started talking. He was so nice and sweet but I might've ruined him. The longer we were together the more he darkened. Every time I made him cry we were getting closer to the last until finally it stopped. He just got mad,dark and sometimes violent though he never hit me. Sometimes I wished that he did so that I can feel better about the way I was treating him. I wasn't just spoiled it was quite the opposite. I was hurt and afraid. I was afraid that he'd betray me like they did. A part of me felt like he would never hurt me,but better safe than sorry. I had to leave him so that my fear wouldn't become a reality.

 I thought I'd never see him again but here I am the morning after a crazy night with him, now I'm on one of my fathers Private Jets on my way back to New York. He's probably woken up by now to see no one laying next to him,knowing that I've left him once again.

I finally arrive at my parents huge upper east side apartment. I am greeted at the door by our doorman Andrew.

" Good to see you Miss Cheryl."

 "Good to be home." I say as I make my way through the doors and to the lounge area where my parents are waiting for me.

" Why did you do this?"my mom asks me

" You should stop toying with this boy." My father says

"Maybe that's not what happened." My mom says " Maybe he's the one that hurt her."

"Stop it." I whine " He didn't hurt me. I just don't think we're that compatible anymore. I just think that I'm young and I'm not ready to make that type of a commitment."

"No. A relationship is something you work on together regardless of what the other one does.Your love is supposed to overcome that."

"Mom what are you talking about." I ask

They just look at each other like they know something I'm not supposed to know.

" Whatever I don't care ." I say as I go up to my bedroom.

I look around my huge bedroom. Everything is so pink. The walls are pink ,my bedding is pink,   I have a fury pink rug in front of my bed. It just gives me so many memories from when we were in high school.

Just then my brother Marco comes in.

" Why did you leave him?"

"Wow no hi, no welcome back. You're so obsessed with Enrique." I make fun of him.

" Whatever." He scoffs " He really loves you and you keep hurting him."

"He doesn't." I say while clenching my fist. "He doesn't love me and I don't love him. We were kids."

"Yet you're still so immature." He says before leaving.

I sigh and fall down on my bed. When I first moved into this room it was right when me and Enrique started dating. Everything was crazy between us. I knew he didn't love me and this was my safe place but it was kind of our spot too.

My dad appears in my doorway.

"Can I come in ?" He asks

" Sure." I lift myself up from the bed and sit upright.

" I think it would be good if you work for me while you're here."

I sigh in disbelief " Dad I don't wanna work right now. Why can't you understand that? I have a lot of stuff I have to work through."

He sits down on the bed next to me.

" You're not gonna be able to do so if you don't go out into the real world. You've been so cooped up in libraries, studying and the first time you go out for once you make a mess of it."

" Yeah because I'm such a disappointment." I raise my voice at him without meaning to. " I'm such a wreck that I can't even get someone to fall in love with me for who I am."

He pulls me me into an embrace.

"You're not a disappointment. You're so perfect. You're my perfect little girl and I have to do everything I possibly can to help you, even when you may not like it."

I look at him surprised. " What are you gonna do dad?"

" You'll see." He says then walks out.

 Just as I thought I'm gonna get some rest. My phone starts ringing. But I'm happy when I see it's my best friend Olivia.

" Hey Liv."

" Hey Cher. How are you ?”

“ I’m as fine as I can be,you know considering the fact that I made a terrible mistake.”

“ You mean Enrique?” She asks

“ Yeah. What about you?” I ask her trying to change the subject

“ Well.I need to tell you something very important." She says

" What is it?" I ask definitely worried now because whenever she says that it's always serious.

" Well I talked to your brother."she starts

I roll my eyes " Like that's not weird."

“ We’re friends. “ she says making it obvious that she’s smiling. “He said that your dad has been planning something weird ever since you decided to come home this morning.Your dad has been talking about making someone else the CEO of G enterprises."

" Well duh I know that." I tell her " I also know it's not Marco."

" Well it's you, sort of." She says " Your dad has decided since you're not gonna study anymore that you're gonna have to marry the next CEO of his company."

" What ?!" I exclaim " Who is it?"

" I don't know. Some stranger."

“ Some stranger ? He can’t make me do that.”

“ Do you think it could be who know you?”she asks

“ Enrique.”

“ No.” she says “ I’m talking about the person who shall not be named.”

The thought of that gives me chills like she’s talking about the actual devil.”

“No. My dad would rather have me marry a stranger than that jerk.” I tell her

But I’m not one hundred percent sure. Who could it possibly be?
