Chapter one
Zander and Sharron’s POV
What the Hell, Sharron as Zander runs his hand through his hair. I can’t believe you did this. Why does it always have to be like this?
Sharron fires back, “Why is it always my fault?”
“Why do you think Sharron because you’re the one who tipped off the press that we would be here, or do you not remember Sharron, Zander says sarcastically.”
“I did it for us, can’t you see that?” Sharron fires back. For Us! Ha! What a laugh Zander says sarcastically.
“You did it for yourself, just be honest with yourself, Zander sighs.”
Zander, I just wanted everyone to see how happy we are together, as Sharron looks like she’s about to cry.”
Sharron, you want to parade US around like we’re a happily engaged couple, scoffs Zander.
“What’s wrong with that, Zander?” Do you not even hear yourself!! So let me tell you since you don’t seem to know.
“BECAUSE Sharron, we both know that’s not true, Zander smirked.
Be real, You just wanted to rub it into people’s faces. We both know we’re not that happy loving couple, Zander sighs, so give it a rest already, frowns Zander.
Sharron mumbles, “Wow, is that what you really think of us? Do you always have to think the worst of me, Zander?”
Zander sighs, it’s not that I think the worst of you, I just don’t understand your logic.
Tell me it’s not true? I told you No press. It’s just a simple get-together with some friends and family that we haven’t seen in a while, Zander says exasperated.
Sharron, don’t you get it, we did it this way so we could have some privacy, Zander says sighing.
Zander looks at Sharron angrily, “I wasn’t even the one who set this up, you knew this. No one should’ve known we were even here. Zander says sighing.”
But of course the press somehow knows we’re here. “I’m sorry, Zander. I just thought…”
That’s what you always say, to be honest, I’m tired of hearing it, what else do you want me to say.
How many times do I have to tell you how much I detest the paparazzi?
Honestly, I don’t know what to say to you anymore, Sharron.
I don’t even want to hear your excuses. Zander turns around, walking away.
ZANDER!! ZANDER!! You’ll regret walking out on me, screams Sharron.
The only thing I’m regretting, Sharron, is that I should have done this a lot sooner. Zander spats back.
Zander, you don’t mean that, Sharron exclaims. Are you really sure that I don’t mean it?
We have had this same argument so many times. Honestly, I’m over it, Zander says angrily.
Zander turns and looks at Sharron one last time. I enjoy my privacy. You enjoy the front cover of magazines.
I think it’s time for us to sit down and talk. Because WE don’t seem to be working, Zander says exasperatedly. I’m not even sure we want the same things anymore, sighs Zander.
I’m sorry, Zander. I really am. Sharron says pitifully. I wish I could believe that. I really do, Zander sighs.
Zander, please, Sharron begs.
We can talk about this later, Zander says calmly. Right now, our friends and family are waiting for us, Zander turns and starts walking away.
Fine, let’s go. Sharron says quietly.
Sharron walks forward trying to take Zander’s hand. Zander smirks and continues to walk away.
You’re going to regret doing this to me. I promise you that. Sharron mumbles to herself.
I can’t believe he acted like that, Rose. Who does he think he is? Sharron says nonchalantly. Rose laughs. Do you really want me to answer that?
Sharron, you’re engaged to the billionaire’s most eligible bachelor.
He’s ruthless, handsome, Rose starts to explain… yes, yes, I know, Sharron hums back.
He’s the businessman of the year, six years in a row. He accomplished all this before he was twenty-four, Sharron says sarcastically.
Zander is only twenty-three years old. His birthday is in a month. Can you imagine where he will be when he’s in his thirties? Rose says excitedly. You even get to marry him!
Every company wants to work with him. Every man would like to be him.
Every woman wants him. Plus, he still makes time for his family and friends. Do you know how rare that is? Rose gushes out.
He’s gorgeous, 5’11” with dark, messy brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He exudes an air of sophistication that makes him appear like a magazine cover model.
His long legs, accentuated by an eight-pack, create a striking visual appeal that leaves one wanting to explore further.
He’s also kind, generous, and he loves you. What more could you want? Most women would die to be in your shoes. Rose blurts out
I know…I know, but we both know why I’m doing this,” Sharron explains.
I told you to forget about Everett. He’s already with someone else,” Rose says exasperatedly. “I know, but I can’t help myself,” Sharron whines.
I personally would take Zander over Everett anytime,” Rose grins. “Yes, I know. Sharron sighs. You’ve told me that like a thousand times as Sharron rolls her eyes.”
I don’t know why I even bother talking to you!” Rose says laughing. “Because I’m your best friend, and you know better than to f*** me over,” Sharron says smiling at Rose. “True, but you don’t have to be such a b**** about it,” exclaimed Rose.
I’m warning you Sharron, leave Everett alone before you lose Zander. When you do finally lose him, you’re going to regret it,” Rose sighed.
No, I won’t, not if I have Everett,” Sharron says dreamlike.
Everett is not half the man Zander is. Smirks Rose. “That’s your opinion, not mine,” Sharron says frustrated.
Really Rose, you need to stop being so blind about Zander.
No Sharron, you’re the one who’s missing the point.
