“You scrape by, taking me to cheap dinners, wearing the same old clothes, living like you're stuck in some broke college life. It’s embarrassing.

A Night to remember

The sounds of the party inside grew louder as Julian strode towards the luxurious mansion that stood In Front of him. Julian glanced down at his clothes, old and torn jeans that had seen too many days of wear, a faded graphic tee shirt with the logo peeling off, and a jacket that could barely keep him warm, let alone make him look presentable. His sneakers, though clean, were cheap and too old. Taking a deep breath, he tried to ignore how out of place he looked against the opulence of the house. The mansion’s bright windows, laughter and the music coming from inside told him that the party was already in full swing. Julian coming here meant trouble, another chance for Claire's wealthy friends to mock, ridicule and laugh at him. He wouldn’t have come, to avoid this, but Claire had threatened to break up if he missed her birthday. So, he had no choice but to face them. Julian climbed the steps, aware of how much he didn't belong here dressed like that. His worn jeans and old

Hi, everyone. Just a heads up that I'll be taking a short break from updating. After discussing it with my editor, it was agreed that the pacing needs a bit of work, as it has been very slow. I'm aiming to have things back on track and new chapters up within two days.

Never again

Julian froze as he saw someone who looked like Claire disappear into the corridor with a man. His heart skipped a beat. Was it her? he wondered to himself. No, it couldn’t be. But that laugh was definitely hers. And the figure? No doubt about it. But what was she doing with that man she was with, walking hand in hand, like two people in love? Curious, Julian's feet moved before his mind could catch up, and he started moving towards the corridor, ignoring Gabe and everyone He walked through the corridor, hesitating as he wondered if perhaps he was mistaken and it was not Claire and his boss. The last thing he needed was to make a fool of himself, by badging in on people having a private moment. Deciding to confirm he followed the way they went. After walking on the opulent corridor, he turned a corner, and there it was the bathroom door. The door was slightly opened, and he could hear voices coming from inside. As Julian got closer, the voices became clearer. He recognize

Drunk and Kidnapped

Julian stormed out of the building, the sound of their laughter and mocking words faded behind him. He was filled with a lot of emotions, but the feeling of being betrayed was the worst. How could she do that to him? He had trusted her with his life, thought she was different. He thought she was the only person who could see beyond his scars. But now, as he replayed her cold, indifferent expression, he wondered if any of it had ever been real. Although he had witnessed it unfold before his own eyes, he still struggled to accept the reality of it. He had been with Claire for almost two years now and she wasn't like this before, so heartless. But guess people could change. Or maybe she was always like that, and she had only shown him a different side. He wished it was all just a dream, that he could wake up from and find everything back to normal. But it wasn’t a dream. Julian’s mind drifted back to the haunting emptiness he'd carried with him ever since a boy. From the mom

One night stand?

Julian blinked open, for the first time since he passed out in the bar the previous night and he had no idea of what had happened after he passed out. His vision was hazy as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. To his surprise, he realized that he was lying in a large, plush bed, wrapped in crisp white sheets that felt soft against his skin. The room around him was bathed in soft morning light, streaming through the large and opulence windows. The decor was rich, with dark tones accented by elegant touches, creating a sense of luxury and comfort. Everything around this room screamed of luxury and elegance, it was nothing like his cramped apartment or anywhere he’d ever been before. Questions flooded Julian's mind: What was this place, and what was he doing here? How did he get here in the first place? “Damn, here comes the hangover, maybe drinking a dozen bottle's wasn't really a good idea.” Julian's head pained him as he tried to sit up, memories of the previous night

No way out?

The silence from the woman as she stared at him, was unsettling Julian. “I really have no idea, believe.” He said. The woman’s eyes narrowed, her voice cold. “You seriously have the nerve to stand there and pretend you don’t know what happened?” She sat up, wrapping the blanket around her shoulders. “Half-dressed in my bed. Do you just wander into random women’s rooms, or am I just the lucky one?” She didn't sound as angry as earlier, because she was starting to realize something. She suspected that she might be the one at fault here. Maybe she was the one who invited him, but with no memory of the night, she couldn’t shake the feeling that it could still be his fault. Julian clenched his jaw, frustration building. “Look, I don’t know what happened either. I was at a bar, had a few too many, and woke up here. That’s all I remember. I'm not at fault here.” He said. She raised an eyebrow, giving him a skeptical once-over. She wasn't as uncomfortable and enraged as she was initial

Unwanted Marriage

Julian and Scarlett averted their gazes from each other at the same time, turning toward the door as it swung open. Julian’s heart skipped a beat as people stepped inside. Scarlett muttered under her breath, her demeanour shifting visibly. "This is bad. I’m so dead," she said, barely audible. This was what she had been trying to avoid when she told him to leave through the window. She didn't want her family to see him. A striking woman in her mid-thirties, with curly brunette hair and a sharp, disapproving gaze, stepped forward. Her eyes swept the room: Julian, dressed in shabby clothes, standing awkwardly, and Scarlett looking uncomfortable as if she had been caught red handed commiting a crime. The woman smirked coldly. “Wow, Scarlett. Bringing men to your room now? But really, did you have to bring a homeless guy?” Not appreciating the remark, Julian shot her a cold look. She had barely met him, and yet she was already calling him a homeless man. How could she judge him so quic

Held at gunpoint

But before he could even pull the door open, Scarlett's cousin, called out. “Guards, don't let him leave.” Almost immediately two bulky men, who had been standing guard nearby, quickly pushed open the door, moved in and grabbed him by the arms. Julian was stunned at how fast they got there. Julian fought to free himself. It was all in vain, the men were too strong. They dragged him back into the room, shoving him toward Mr. Lancaster. Mr. Lancaster's eyes locked on him, unimpressed with his resistance. His voice was low, a chilling growl. “You think you can just walk out of here after what you've done?” he questioned. “You’re not leaving. You’re either going to die, or you’re going to marry my granddaughter. It’s your choice.” Scarlett, feeling the shock of everything, continued to protest, her voice shaky but fierce. “Grandpa, you can’t do this! You don’t get to decide....." “Enough!” Mr. Lancaster’s voice interrupted her. His expression hardened as he snapped at her, his an

No escape

Scarletts cousin Amara, who had been standing in the corner, stepped forward. Her voice was sweet but mixed with sarcasm. She seemed genuinely pleased to see Scarlett in this situation, and there was no mistaking the satisfaction in her eyes. After all, Scarlett had always been Mr. Lancaster’s favorite, the chosen one destined to take over one of his companies, either as CEO or vice president. But now? Amara could practically see that opportunity slipping from Scarlet's grasp, and the thought delighted her. “Come on, Scarlett,” Amara said with a sugary, mocking tone, her voice dripping with false sympathy. “Let’s get you dressed. You should look your best. After all, it’s not every day you get a ‘husband’ like Julian.” She paused, her smile widening as she leaned in closer. “A real prince charming, huh? I’m so excited for you. I’m sure this is everything you’ve ever dreamed of. By the end of the day, you'll be a wife. How lucky can one girl get?” Scarlett clenched her fists so har

A wedding of no choice

Julian didn't reply to Viktor, barely acknowledging his presence. His gaze briefly shifted to Scarlett. As his eyes rested in her, he couldn't help but notice that she was looking stunning, dressed in a soft ivory lace gown that shone in the sunlight. The dress hugged her figure perfectly, flowing beautifully to the ground with delicate layers of silk and fine fabric. Her hair was pulled up into an elegant updo, soft curls framing her face. Despite the beauty of the scene, the look on her face was anything but joyful. Even with her serious expression, Scarlett still managed to look pretty. When Julian accidentally met her gaze, he couldn't ignore the intensity in her eyes. She was glaring at him with so much hatred, it was almost visible. He understood why, after all, neither of them wanted this. Neither of them had a say in what was happening. But what troubled him more was the way she looked at him, like she was seeing him as the sole cause of her misery. It wasn’t right. T

A desperate call

Julian quickly found his phone from Scarlett’s bedroom. After that he made his way to the villa’s exit. As he approached the gate, he noticed security standing by. He wondered if they would allow him to pass. Did Mr Lancaster give them orders to not let him leave or what? Nonetheless Julian continued, to his relief, they didn’t stop him. They didn't even pay any attention to him. He stepped outside, feeling a sense of relief that finally he was out. He quickly hailed an Uber and got in, telling the driver to take him to the bar were he worked part time. He had some questions for Jasmine. Perhaps she would provide some answers to how he had ended up in Scarlett's bed this morning. As he sat in the car, knowing he had finally left the Villa, It was like the weight of the world had been lifted off him, for a moment. But that sense of freedom quickly faded. Pain stabbed through his chest as he realized nothing had changed his life was still a mess. He had no home, no money, no
