2024-10-29 19:42:56I'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?

For a moment I don't say anything. I can't believe that my dad would do this to me."I'll talk to you later Liv." I finally said before hanging up.I lay down on my bed with my phone in my hand.I feel completely enraged. I decide to confront my dad. I run downstairs and find my mom in the living room reading a book."Mom where's dad?"" He's at work honey." She says " He has some sort of meeting with the board."" Do you know that he's planning on me marrying some stranger that's gonna be the new CEO of G enterprises?"My mom looks up at me completely shocked"No way sweety your dad would never do that."she says"Well that's not what Marco told Liv.""He must've misunderstood." She says but not very convincing.I just sighed then my phone went off I checked it and it was a message from Enrique."Hey Princess I know you had fun last night and I know I'll see you again soon."I just rolled my eyes. He can be pretty full of it sometimes and I understand why . He's gorgeous. He has elec

I never thought that I'd ever have to look him in the eyes again. I never wanted to see him again and now I'm standing in-front of him wearing the necklace that he got me. I start shaking. I try my best to look fine but I'm freaking out on the inside.He walks closer to me. " I see you're wearing the necklace I got you." He says with a really smug looking smile."I..." the words couldn't come out it was like I couldn't say anything my brain was blank all I could think is that I can't believe he's standing in-front of me.Then I realize that this is the man who's gonna be the new CEO of G enterprises. I look to my parents. " Don't tell me he's the guy. Please don't."" I am indeed." Enrique says walking even closer to me. He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. " Why do you always make things difficult? Why don't you want to be happy?"" I do." I answer him but shortly after I realize that I don't owe him any explanation.He moves even closer and places a soft kiss on my forehead.I f

I fall to the ground and he grabs."No!Let me go!"I wake up crying in a hospital bed. Enrique is sitting beside me holding me hand." It's okay." He says and starts stroking my hair.I finally calm down and I feel like I can actually breathe again." Don't ever scare me like that ." He saysI smile. " I know, I'm sorry.""As long as you're okay."" I had a bad dream about my worst fear.""What's that?" He asks" I'm afraid that he's gonna hurt me again. I'm afraid that they're gonna hurt me again. I can't stand to go through that again. It was horrible I couldn't sleep or eat for months . I couldn't bare being touched by anyone not even my mother."" You're safe."

“H-he was here.” I finally manage to get out. My dad doesn’t say anything. He closes my window and he goes back downstairs. I sit on the floor looking out the window. My whole body is shaking. A feeling I know all too well. My dad comes back into my room after a while but not long enough for me to completely fall apart.“I have security guards all around the house. They will stay there all night to ensure your safety.” He says. “ All you have to do is sleep peacefully through the night and go to work tomorrow as if nothing happened. I’ll take care of it.”My dad has always been like this. He always does everything when it comes to protecting us but he also expects us to live our lives as if nothing happened while he ‘takes care of it.’But I don’t argue with him.“ Sure dad. Whatever you say.” I add sarcastically which he doesn’t pick up at all. I do my nightly skincare and try to get my mind off of everything before getting into bed. I try to call Enrique but he doesn’t pick up so I

“Who’s there?” I yell out as I grab the nearest thing I can which is a log for the fireplace. “It’s me Princess. It’s Enrique.” Hearing his voice felt like a relief. I had surely thought that it could be Leandro. I slowly open the door and let him in.He immediately grabs me into his arms.“ Are you okay?”“ I’m fine. I just needed some time to think after finding out my entire life has been a lie.”“I’m sorry.” He says wrapping his arms around me again. In that moment I feel safe like I always do around him.That feeling was short lived as reality came flashing through my mind again.I push him away. “Why didn’t you tell me?” That feeling I had felt, the safety I felt with him was now turned into distrust and betrayal.“ I just found out this morning.” He saysI sigh” It doesn’t matter anyway,my entire life has still been a lie.”I finally look at him his blue eyes filled with sadness.“ Your mom didn’t cheat on your dad.” He says. “ Your parents adopted you but they love you more

I wake up the next morning and I turn to face him but he's gone. I sigh and put on a silk pink robe. I look in the mirror and my hair is messy so I brush it out. It's something I've always done. The only off-putting things about me in the morning has been my messy hair. I go downstairs and find him in the kitchen making breakfast. One thing he's always loved is making food for us. I do think it all comes down to how you were raised. I on the other hand try to stay as far away from a stove as possible, except for when I have no choice but to make something for myself. Around him I've always felt a little inferior because he's not as spoilt as I am. I used to blame everything on my parents until I met Enrique. And our relationship was like a Taylor Swift song. Now it's so complicated I can't begin to define it. He turns around and I realise I've been staring this entire time."Morning." he says as he walks closer to me and kisses my forehead.

I let out a huge breath and I had no idea that I had been holding my breath the entire time.“Are you okay?” He asks sitting down on the bed next to me. “No!” I exclaim whilst the tears start running down my cheeks. “ I’m scared. I’m scared of what I’ve done.” He pulls me in and holds me tight in his arms while I’m bawling my eyes out. After I while I just stop. It’s always been like this whenever he holds me I cry my heart out then I suddenly just forget why I was crying in the first place or the thing I was crying about just seem

We stop at a big apartment complex building. "Well we're here." he sates. The building looks smaller than most of the ones I see in New York so I assume they live in the penthouse as well. "Do you own this building?" I ask "Yeah. I do." he chuckles " You catch on fast." We take the elevator up to the penthouse. The first thing I notice is to the left I see a girl with long wavy black hair and slightly tanned skin sitting eating what looks like a fruit salad then another older lady dressed in a uniform which tells me she is the housekeeper, approaches us. "Mr Bradley.You're back earlier than usual."she says "Yes this is Cher. We have a situation that needs to be taken care of." he says " Where is my sister?" "I'm here." I hear a womans voice and when I look I see the most gorgeous woman coming down the stairs. She's tall with long scarlet red hair and fair skin. In some way she looks just like him.She walks up right in front of me. "You're pretty." she remarks "This is the first

We’ve been in Russia for over a week now. We're staying at The Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow.We assumed the best place to start our search would be Moscow the capital city since it's easier for him to hide there yet we still haven’t found anything.I’m starting to get more nervous as the days go by. I know first hand how dangerous Roberto is and with that comes the fear of what could happen to me if Leandro really was working with him. They both haunt me every single day. They both have caused me so much trauma who knows what he could do now. I’m startled by the rustling of my phone. I pick it up from the bedside table and it’s a message from Enrique.'I think I have a lead on Roberto. I'll let you know as soon as I get there.'I check his location a few minutes later and it says he's at the Crown Plaza not too far from here.I sit and wait by phone checking every notification to see if it could possibly Enrique giving me news on the Roberto situation but hours go by without me hearing

I wake up the next morning with Enrique next to me. I reach over to touch his face when the door opens revealing my father . I instantly hide my face under the covers. “Good you’re both here.” He saysI shake Enrique to wake him. When he finally wakes his immediate reaction is also covering his his face.“ We need to take care of this situation.” My dad says “ Get dressed.” Then he leaves closing the door behind him.I turn to Enrique in shock “Why doesn’t he care?”“ We’re adults now.” He says“ This is still his house.”Enrique shrugs. We take a shower together and after that I do my skincare. While I’m using gua sha stone I catch him staring at me.I put it down and I give him a look.” What?” I ask him.“Nothing.” He says “ It’s just that you’re still so obsessed with skincare.”I sigh” It works for me.”“ I know it does.” He says pulling me in and kissing the top of my head.After that we get dressed and we head out to go see my father.We find my father in his study waiting for
