Kian's POV:I was walking through the hallway. Media , fans ,and investors were waiting for me to congratulate me for the award I just received. Body guards, manager and my buddy Raven were surrounding me. When I reached the door, it opened. Camera flashes attacking everyone’s eye. Fangirls shouting out my name. This place was a mess. Reporters were throwing all their curious questions at my face.I really didn't want to deal with this drama and wanted to go straight to my lavish car and be at home in my bed. But then Raven whispered more like in declaring tone:"We have to interact with them, we are already in-". He paused, I looked at him. He signalled me by showing me his sheepish eyeS. I sighed, to show how frustrated I was. Then a voice came from the crowd."Mr. Kian, how do you feel , you have won the biggest award of the year. Who do you want to thank"I turned to look for the person who asked . I didn’t find the person in the huge crowd and camera flashes but answered any way

Kian’s POVMy headache was almost gone when I woke up. The weather felt pleasant, when I slid the curtains from the window. Of course I had missed the morning bliss, it was almost lunch time. When I walked in the living room, everything was at its place. The mess I created last night was cleaned up by the housemaid, who was paid enough to never question anything. I sat on the couch. Noah, my cook appeared in front of me:“ Would you like to have breakfast Sir?”“Just a cup of coffee”I answered vaguely. He went back after he heard my order. I sighed, resting my head against the couch. Empty was all I felt like. I was too honest inside out. The roughness that people always felt in my personality was the reason for my strange kind of music. I never understood why it was so necessary to write things about love, when all that matters to the world is money,wealth and status. But this ugly world wanted me to be a hypocrite as it was itself. Even if I tried, I knew nothing about love and aff

Irene’s POV“ I-uhh” I stumbled at my words, for an unknown reason. “Hmm?”“I saw this advertisement about a junior assistant. I was wondering if you are still hiring.”“Oh I see, you are here for that job” he eyed me head to toe.I was not dressed very appropriately for a job interview. I came straight from work, more like fired from the work so I was in my jeans and had worn a very baggy T-shirt. His style of checking me out confirmed to me that I was definitely not getting the job. But somehow he seemed interested.“Can I ask you, who are you?” I asked to break the awkward silence.“Oh I am in the hiring team, my name is Raven” he offered his hand, which I took very hesitantly.“Is it okay if I interview you” he asked with a very non professional smile, that showed me some red flags. I was fired from that cafe job today because some creepy customer was being too touchy. And no matter how confident I was, physical touch always scared the hell out of me. And I caused a mess by spilli

Kian’s POV:It was the same darkness. Prevailed in my living room, personifying my inner self. It felt strange. Everything. This day. Things that happened. Myself. Her. I was angry at myself too. That I agreed with Raven’s stupid idea. To make a random girl my pretending wife. Not everyone is able for this kind of work. Or maybe this whole idea was stupid. I didn’t know. And that sharp pain emerging from one side of my head, making my eyes bulge out of the socket was not letting me overthink matters that were already confusing enough. I headed straight towards my spacious bedroom. Letting myself fall on the mattress. The knock at my door broke my attention to the file I was reading. After my permission, Raven stepped in. Walking towards me, he said;“I think we found her.” Out of nowhere, he informed me. “Found who?” was my question. “Your ‘would be contractual wife’.” Tilting his head a bit, he arched his eyebrow. Like we are teenagers and he is talking about my crush. Placing

Irene's POVThis morning was something. First, the man who insulted me like sh*It appeared in front of my apartment. And I let him in. That was already, something I decided to think about it later. Then he apologised to me. Like nothing happened yesterday. And I said ‘I’ll do it’. Here it was, A morning filled with surprises. Not only me, Raven and his very bossy boss were also shocked. “What?” Raven wanted to confirm.Which I did by saying, “ I said I’ll do it”.“Ok-well. Thank You.” His words were still recovering from the shock he had just received. And he. His expressions were also telling me that he was not anticipating this. Or I was misjudging him. “You won’t apologise back?” he almost growled. Oh my God, can he not be self obcessed all the time.“For what?” I asked, folding my arms against my chest. “We should go now,” Raven exclaimed hurriedly. I shifted my gaze to Raven.“No-” he did not believe how he was being ignored by Raven nor was I, to be honest. Raven grabbed h

Irene’s POV:Walking out of the busy and vast hallway of campus, I saw Mona with her chicks talking about something. Moving her hands unnecessarily, she giggled. Dressed in a crop top, and shorts, flaunting her curves. Always the centre of attention. Every boy lusted over her. All girls secretly wished to be like her. The delicate material of her top was already telling how expensive it could be but the pearl necklace and earrings were making it more mesmerising. I didn’t realise I was staring at her standing in the middle of the hallway, when the mirror in front of me caught my attention. Sweatpants and the sweatshirt I was wearing were very old. May be three years. Shopping became a luxury since my mother died. Many things were different now. My face was pale, bones were prominent. My hair tied in a bun. I always hated these moments. Comparing myself to her. It was stupid for several reasons. But I cannot control it. I always felt poorer when she was around. “Heyy Irene,” high pi

Irene’s POV. Fairytales are always deceiving. I remember my mother telling me stories in which the prince solves every problem. He can just make everything fine by the snap of his fingers. It always annoyed me but maybe I always beleived it. And I was waiting for him. The long wait made me hate fairytales. I felt betrayed. Like it was a false hope. The moment I saw the amount I was going to receive after this contract, it felt unreal. The problem in my life was money. And it was written on the paper, ten million. Like it was simple. It was not just ten million. It was an end to starving days, to the constant anxiety of paying loan, doing odd jobs. The amount was enough for me to enjoy life. Until I complete my studies, and find a job. Lifting my head I saw the man sitting in front of me. Brown pair of eyes radiating coldness. Technically, he was my prince. That felt funny. Prince? He? Not that he wasn’t charming. He was-hot, but no prince could be this rude. Turning to Raven. I expr

Kian’s POVComing back after the phone call, seeing her nowhere did feel like a victory. Until I heard their giggles from upstairs.It was Quinn, of course. He was flirting with her. And she was buying it. Raven came with a glass of wine in his hand, offering it to me. I took it from him. “Did you do the background check on her,” I asked as he seated himself with me, sipping from his glass. “Of course, I did. But you didn’t listen when I was telling you. So, I skipped the details.” he said in one breath. “You brought her in at the moment she came for the job,” I turned my head to him. Asking him to explain his move. “I was a bit over excited at that moment. But I knew whoever she was I was going to deal with it. Even if she was a spy or something I was going to use her for a particular purpose.'' He was confident like this, always. And the good part was, he was never wrong. Usually, we were always together playing this game of checkmate. But this time, it was different. This girl w

Irene’s POVI felt serenity in the cool breeze of London September was near to end. The air was cool. I saw a notification on my phone this morning, about the money transfer. I couldn’t remember when was the last time I had breakfast in my favourite cafe. It felt good. I was planning to do some grocery shopping after my classes. After all that happened, it was worth it. It is way better than worrying about getting starved to death. Raven also sent some congratulatory texts and praised me. What I did was nothing, actually. It didn’t even require any special skill. My face was even covered. This was for the first time in my life after my mother’s death, I felt I was not alone. Not on my own. The tranquillity of the air vanished as I entered my campus. Students were gossiping. Some faces were shocked and some were smirking. Showing something on phone to each other. This was definitely something about some trending topic. I shrugged my shoulders. Last time, I worried myself with thos

Kian’’s POV“I am heading home,” I announced as I adjusted the coat on my shoulder. “Anything important you want to inform?” “No, I mean, I was informed about some reporter wanting to interview and,..” we both stepped out of the elevator. “Mona! She called me several time.I assume you didn’t answer her.” he looked at me from the corner of his eye. “Yes, did you?”“Nope,” he said, popping the ‘P’.“I just don’t have time to deal with her sh*t,” I explained. “Yeah, how things went with Mr.Backer?” he asked as we walked out of the lobby.“It’s fine, I want you to call a meeting tomorrow. Choose wisely, I want something new for this track. Try newbies too.” he nodded. We were in the parking lot now. We parted our ways to our cars. His car was parked on the left side of mine. I stopped as I opened the door, I was hesitant to talk about her, because the way he perceived my attention back then, made me uncomfortable. “Uhh-did you talk to her?” The truth is I didn’t know myself what I
