All Chapters of The Fake Engagement: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I grew up to be afraid of my father. Once, when I was little, he told me not to go near his office or even dare to enter it. But being the naïve and young child that I was, I did not pay attention to his orders and did not listen to him. I neglected him and went to his office to play.I thought he will not be mad if he caught me going there because I am his little princess and he loves me too much to scold me.. but I was wrong. That day, he caught me playing in his office and I chuckled and was about to hug him but my feet didn’t dare to move an inch when I heard him screamed at me.“You worthless child, I told you not to go here!” he threw the briefcase he was holding on the corner of a room and unbuckled his belt, he walked over my direction and slammed me. There was nothing that can be heard but my sobs and loud cry after that.That’s how I learned that he is not the same dad I used to know.  

Erwan's POVIt was dark when I leave Dr. Mavero’s SUV, but instead of heading home, I searched for a solemn place to clear my head. It seems like the complication of my life will begin now.It is an advantage that there weren’t a lot of cars that are roaming around the street. It is dark on the road but the lights of the city and the open establishments made it easier to see the surroundings. I have been glancing from left to right of my car window as I drove.I was whistling while driving, the memories that I have in this city are haunting me. There was never a day that I forgot about how Veron died in this same street in my hands. Those were the most terrible memory of my life.I stopped the car when I noticed an empty field beside the highway, I may be the type of guy who likes to go clubbing and party all night, but there’s always a part of me who longed for a quiet place to freshen up. I stepped out of my car and walked

Shane's POVI sat on the corner of the cafeteria, the words of Erwan Fuenter repeatedly echoing on my head.“I can’t stand missing you every day, so I did the privilege of enrolling here to be with you twenty-four seven.”Argh! That asshole. How dare he mess with my mind? And why the freaking fudge I am thinking about him?I sighed in frustration and opened my mouth wider to chunk the handful of grilled cheese sandwich into it, I reached for the french fries and dipped it on sundae before finally savoring it. I was about to grab my hamburger filled with ham and egg when Jase suddenly spoke from behind.“Slow down, will you? No one’s going to snatch your food.” I glanced at him and saw that he is quietly biting an apple—the only food that he ordered. Is he on a diet? Or is he trying to be healthy by living with the quote that one apple a day chases the doctor away? Hmph.“Don’t even talk t

Shane’s POV“Hello?” I heard Olivia’s voice on the other side of the phone, her tone sounded like she just woke up from her deep slumber.“Hey, Oliv. What are you doing for today?”“I’m planning to sleep all day, baby Shane.” She mumbled. “Oh, okay.”“Why? Do you want me to come over?” she asked, probably feeling guilty.“No, no, I was just checking out on you to ask what you are up to.” I shook my head as if she can see me.“The first week of being a sophomore took all of my energy, it was super exhausting. I got no plans for this Saturday but to sleep.”My imagination tells me that she is rolling herself on her blanket as she spoke to me. I heard her yawned and I took that as a signal to bid her my goodbye and threw my phone on the bed.I dived and on the queen-sized bed of my room and stared at the ceiling, gues

Shane's POV I inhaled the refreshing scent of wind as I drove my car on the street. The nearest mall is just a ten minute drive from our home so I took my time and relaxed my back on the seat while humming happily. I got off my car upon reaching my destination and went inside the mall. I took an elevator and pressed for the third floor, the door was about to close when a man wedge his arm in between the elevator door causing it to suddenly stop. He ignored me and head inside. He is wearing a whole black outfit; his muscular and tall figure reminded me of the gunman that I often watched in televisions. He seems harmless and I doubt that he is a gunman. He is also wearing a black cap which completed his whole black outfit, I looked down to see if he is wearing a black shoes and I chuckled upon seeing that he is indeed wearing one. I noticed from the corner of my eyes that he is staring at me as if questioning why I am laughing. I cleared my throat, suddenly emb
