TYLER P.O.V " Come on, come with me. It’s gonna be fun” I said to Madison. Trying to let her see a reason to go with him. Madison stared at Tyler “No, BTS is going live at that time, I can’t miss it” Madison said in a determined tune. I frowned “are you abandoning me for some set of people that don’t know you” Madison stared at me feeling provoked. I was doing it again. Acting like she’s nothing but a fan to BTS. She thinks she is s lot more and one day she would prove me wrong- one day. “Yes. They are people with influence and power, while you…are just a boring child, thinking whether he should continue schooling” Madison said harshly. He should know his place. What a useless boyfriend I was pained . Not because of those words. I was used to that. But because she was taking BTS side more than mine. As if she was being paid to do that. “Your words hurt…” I was cut off by Hannah entrance. “She really knows how to make an entrance” Madison said staring at Hannah. I stared at Hannah. And gosh, she was right. *** Those stares-those murmurs- those laughter. Gosh I hate it. It’s annoying when you can’t have your own privacy.I stopped walking when I saw Lucas. Our eyes met for a brief moment-only a brief moment. I love it when our eyes lock, it doesn’t give me uncomfortable chills… it just makes me smile. Lucas smiles always makes me feel at ease. Like I’m the top of the world. I don’t know maybe it because we once dated . Or because he’s Lucas. Lucas is handsome and known to be unpredictable, you can’t even predict if he’s happy . Not for me, I know him better than I know my father’s girlfriends life story. Lucas is tall, neat, and physically sexy. He has the perfect set of white teeth , so perfect that when he smiles…you just wanna melt. He has some questionable scars, but those scars just makes him deadly-just the way I like it. I stopped observing him when I noticed his eyes were on me- just on me. “He is staring, why?” I thought to myself. I continued walking, I didn’t want him to know I was observing him. The only thing annoying about Lucas is…he is Jacob best friend . I entered the girl’s toilet and walk to the sink. I stared at myself in the mirror after washing my hands. I smiled “ Still looking gorgeous” I said to myself then I entered the main toilet. "let me go”Helen shouted at Jacob who was roughly holding her hand, “Let me go” she said ,removing Jacob forceful grip from her hand. Jacob stared at Helen,he was filled with anger and hate “ what the hell do you think you are doing, are you trying to make me angry” Jacob said angrily, he was definitely angrily, this girl was trying to ruin him. Helen frowned “ Mad?” she scoffed “I think I’m the one that is meant to be angry” Helen said feeling testy. Jacob scoffed, he knew where this was going, he knew what she wanted. “ How much do you want” he dipped his hand into his shirt pocket and brought out some bills. “ Here , take this” Jacob said as he handed the money to Helen. Helen thought for a while then collected the money-hesitantly. Jacob smiled . He was right. She wanted his money “ what a gold digger” he thought to himself and smiled. “ This is for your silence” Jacob said feeling satisfied. Helen kept quiet for a moment , she smiled for a while. Jacob was happy, she was intrigued- or so he thought, before Jacob could really enjoy this moment, Helen removed the smile on her face and replaced it with a frown, she threw the money at Jacob . Surprising both herself and Jacob “ Do you think money can make me forget what you did, in case you’ve forgotten…you r***d me “ she said with mixed emotion- anger and pain “ And you made me pregnant” she wanted to cry but not in front of him. She would not be vulnerable in front of him- he’s is not worth that “money can’t even redeem your crimes” Helen said angrily. Jacob stared at Helen for a moment. His silence was scary . He looked like he was ready to kill Helen right now. But he laughed-so hard-for a long time, he found this hilarious. What a lunatic. “ You really are funny…” he said to Helen “And stupid” he said angrily. He moved closer to Helen -slowly and darkly. “ you really don’t know your place” Jacob said with a tone of authority and a dark smirk on his face Helen staggered back,he was walking close to her and she was scared. “ Do yourself a favour and keep quite”he said, darkly “ if not, your already frustrating life will become hell” Jacob smiled “ and stop acting like I took something special from you …you were not even a virgin” he said . Sharply. And harshly. And he walked away. Leaving Helen to swallow all he has said. That was all Helen needed to hear,she couldn't stop herself from crying “f**k you, f**k you” she said angrily Those words hurt her, I could tell. Maybe because she was crying. She cried for a while then she cleaned her tears and left the girl’s toilet. I came out of the main toilet “ Gosh, I just watched a drama unfold” I thought to myself “What a plot twist” I said aloud and gave myself a little smile. CHAPTER THREE. He was happy, he worked hard for fifteen years and he made it. He did different type of things to succeed, he accepted different type of ordeal, and now he is the chairman of KingVille, one of the biggest company in the United States. He sat down on the sofa in his office and watched the news “12:00 clock news tells us the real gist” I entered his office. Anytime he calls it’s either a bad news or a boring bad news “dad” I said then I bowed my head to give him a little respect- even though he doesn’t deserve it. My dad stared at me and smiled “Sit” I sat down on a chair opposite his ,waiting for him to burst the bubble “ You called for me” I said when I noticed he’s not talking. Samuel sighed “ The board of directors don’t think you are fit to be the heir of the company” I widened my eyes in surprise,what the hell was this man saying “What? But I’ve done everything. You can’t do this to me” I said seriously. Still maintaining my steeze. My dad looked indifferent “ the company will be given to Lawrence” I can’t take it anymore, I stood up angrily. f**k the so called steeze. “ You can’t give what’s rightfully mine to one of your illegitimate child. You just can’t” I wanted to tell him that I have all the information about Lawrence and his mum and I can end them right now, but I don’t want to look like stalker so I kept it to myself. “ But you can get ownership of the company” my dad said to me with a smirk on his face “How” I asked him calmly . My dad kept quiet for a moment, I guess he was waiting to drop the bombshell “ Get married to Jacob” my dad said dramatically, as if he practiced it. I scoffed, what the hell. Not Jacob. Not him. “ A partnership with them can help” my dad said feeling pleased. He knew I had no choice. He knew I would do it. I knew it too but I just can’t accept it “ I’m not some toy you can just give out…” “ You are a female” my dad said cutting me off. I’m the only legitimate child that my dad has,and unluckily for him - I’m a female. My dad is the biggest sexist I know. And the biggest dumb ass to. “ You can’t help and manage the company yourself” he said finally. I experienced this a lot of times,not being able to do some certain things because I’m a female. In business life, it’s either two things for a female, own the company. Or get married off to some rich billionaire to expand your company. But the frustrating thing in my own story is if I get married to Jacob, I’m definitely gonna lose everything. Cause it’s business. And it’s Jacob. “why? Why dad?” I was frustrated and annoyed. The company is mine and mine alone. “You can’t do it” my dad shouted angrily, making me a little bit petrified. I inhaled and exhaled slowly “Cause I’m a girl” I said calmly. My dad didn’t care, he would do anything just for money. Even sell his own daughter. “Just do what you are told” my dad said with authority in his tone. What a bastard. I walked out angrily. If I don’t marry Jacob the company will be given to some bastard. Who says the rich don’t suffer, we have to survive no matter what or we’ll lose everything . The rich and the poor are not really different, just like how the poor work hard to make money, the rich work hard to keep it. I stopped walking. The only difference about us is our situation… our lives are completely the same.
