Chapter 1

Somewhere in New York

Emily’s Pov

I Un-Love you words that are better said than done. I looked through the window as my taxi drove at full speed. The Christmas lights from outside looked blurry through my eyes filled with tears, I closed my eyes as a final attempt to compose myself only to realize that it just helped my mind to flash his images over and over again. As my destination approached I pulled out my glasses, wiped my tears and tied up my hair in a messy bun. After taking a deep breath I got out of the taxi.

“Whoa you looked messed up” my co-worker said.

“Not now Jack, don’t you think I know how I look?”

I said as I took out my camera.

“Let’s just get this over with”

I looked at the well-lit stage and then around the room filled with people who were all well dressed up and had broad smiles on their faces. I couldn't help but wonder how many of those smiles were genuine. People are strange. We can write poetry and travel to the moon but can’t admit how we are feeling. All we ever do is give a fake smile and move on because that’s the easier way out. As my train of thought was taking a turn from mere amusement to downright philosophical she walked in. Jeanette Scarlet Wilson is the only person in that room who doesn’t pretend. I watched her as she clicked her bright red heels as her black skin fit gown flew back as she walked along with her red hair. Jennet has been considered unique since the day she was born, be it because of her beautiful brown skin, the freckles on her body or her signature emerald red eyes, but she always felt unique to me because of her ability to express herself without even a hint of fear.

“Hello guys, Just like everyone even I had a story to tell in fact I had many stories to tell over the years all of you have known me as Jeanette Scarlet Wilson an actress, dancer and the face of different brands and hopefully in between you have known me on a personal level as well because I have tried my very best to be an open book when it comes to emotions, but what you probably don’t know are the stories the stories that are an integral part of my life the stories that made me who I am and sincerely hope that you guys would enjoy reading these stories”

Jeanette said in her deep voice, but as I was trying to film her my phone started ringing.

“What is Fredric?” I asked, evidently annoyed as I picked up the phone.

“Hey I know you are upset……”

“Upset? You cheated on me with that whore from wallmarks”

“Oh come on she just works there part time plus we were fighting on a regular basis we were almost broken up………”

“We were together for 5 goddamn years and we have lived together for 4 of them, I did your laundry paid your bills and you couldn’t even give me a heads up before you humped her in the back of the car that I paid the EMI for”

“See I have no time for this crap, I have a news story. Do you wanna report it or not?”

“What’s the story?”

“You know that secret club that breaks off couples?”

“It’s not a club it’s an agency that helps you get over breakups or helps you to UNlove someone, I did a story on them, remember?”

“Ya, the UN-Love agency or whatever, one of their members has been exposed”

“How do you know they are part of the agency none of their members ever reveal their identity”

“I know but one guy whose wife had left him because of the agency hunted him down and they got into a bad fight at some bar they are at the police station right now if you come quick we could be the first ones to report on the issue”

“Okay fine I will be there”

I said as I looked back at Jennet who was reading out a romantic storyline from her book.

***

He was holding up a handkerchief which was now covered with blood over the wound on his forehead even in that wounded state there was no fear in his eyes. Soon the doctor came in and started dressing his injury.

“What did you say was his name?” I asked.

“Ryan”   

“Why does he look so familiar?”

“He is married to that actress, what’s her name Jennet……..”

“Jeanette Scarlet Wilson?”

“Wow a person who teaches other people how to UN-love is married to a woman who is out there teaching people about Love. That's an interesting turn of events . 

"Get your camera ready, we have a love story to investigate about" I said.
