POV: Amber
I took one step... Two steps and the third when I paused and clutched my heart as panic set in when I spotted Alexander and Marianne walking towards the entrance with some of our other friends that I used to know. I saw the moment Leo spotted Marianne and he smiled in her direction as she ran into his arms, kissing him passionately. God, what the hell am I doing here?
How on earth did I even think that I could bear to see them together again. What was I thinking?
Watching Leo dote on Marianne during high school had been torturous. Every loving gesture, every proud cheer from the sidelines as he played basketball, had etched a deeper scar in my heart. Watching them dote on each other while the others watched in administration broke my heart all over again and it reminded me of the reason why I’d agreed to be with Alex in the first place. I stood by the corner, stand close to the elevator where I was stationed for today.
As they walked towards me, I held my breath and stood still, trying to hold back the urge to burst into tears. Marianne and Leo walked into the elevator first, her pride and elegance evident in each step she took. The other followed behind them, while Alex walked behind everyone, striding towards the elevator with his hands in his pocket, his signature movement.
“I’ll take the next one,” he lets out coyly, winking in that boyish cute way that he always does. I dared to look at him and I saw that mischievous glint in his eyes that told me that he has not changed one bit. He is still the same Casanova, the ladies man that makes the girls drool after him.
He stood there waiting for the elevator when I decided to play a silly game with him. I pulled out my phone and scrolled down my music list to the song he had performed on the night of our graduation. I hit the play button and put the phone back in my pocket as I hummed along. He turned to me immediately, taking off his glasses as he fixed his eyes on me.
He closed the gap between us, making my heart beat faster as he came to stand right in front of me, looking straight into my eyes. I sniffed his familiar cologne and memories of our time together in high school came flooding back to me. I looked back at him, and all I felt is anger and hatred. God, I want to punch his f*****g face and watch him bleed through his broken nose.
But I remained calm, and plastered a professional smile that I’d mastered over the years on my face. “How can I help you, sir?” I asked him, sounding professional. He chuckled at my words, leaning in closer to whisper in my ears.
“You can drop the act, my love.” He told me, making my heart beat faster as I thought he had seen through my disguise and recognize me.
“W... what... What are you talking about?” I stammered, trying to maintain my composure. He chuckled softly, putting his hands around my hips and pulling me closer to him,
“You just played my song, my love. I’m sure you did your research about me and that’s why you played my song to get my attention. But you don’t need to do all that my pet. You are just my spec, and I would have noticed you and chased after you anywas.” he told me, leaning to kiss my lips. I looked away, evading his lips. But he was persistent and he tried to force his lips on mine, making me feel trapped.
I kneed him in the balls, hitting him hard with all the anger and pain in my heart. I thought he would be pissed a d probably lash out at me. But he only laughed as he walked into the elevator, smirking stupidly,
“Playing hard to get huh?
I f*****g love it.” He smirks as he pushed the button on the elevator.
“I’ll make you beg for it. That’s a promise!” he lets out fiercely as the door shuts him in. He must think that he is the best man in planet earth. I can’t believe that I ever dated him. I could have let him brush my lips softly, letting him think that I’m interested in him. But I just can’t stand the guy, he’s so f*****g repulsive.
I don’t ever want to see him around me. I just want to expose him for the cold hearted bastard that he is. If I could get him to admit that he is the guy on the s*x tape and that he is the one that let the video out. Then everyone would see that I’m not a w***e. Then I can finally pursue justice by suing him for every penny he has and destroying his company and his reputation.
It’s a good thing that he is flirting with me. I would use his flirtations to gain access into his suite and installed a security camera in his room to monitor him and see what he has been up to lately. From my investigation, he is currently dating Marianne’s best friend Janice. She had been there that night when he embarrassed me and put my nudes out there.
She knew that he was planning to embarrass and dump me because she had come prepared with eggs and fruits to throw at me on the stage. She wanted him for herself and she helped him ruin my life that night. I hope they had a good laugh because the tables are about to turn. Let’s see how they feel when their nudes are released on the Internet as well.
“I have no idea why the boss wants you to work on this floor without prior training. But I have to warn you now, Amy. Do not be clumsy and rude to the guests and do not cause problems for this hotel!” The manager warned me as I helped a few more guests to locate their rooms. The guests would stay three days in hotel Fabulousa before the boarding the ship to begin the cruise.
I’ll take my time to learn everything I can about them before we board the cruise ship. Once we have boarded the ship, it’s game on!
After the morning shift, I would be free for the rest of the day. I would utilize these three days to familiarize myself with the guests and get all the information I need before boarding the cruise ship because I will not be boarding the ship as Amy, the waiter. I would be going on the cruise as The billionaire heiress, Miss Jovi.
I will make them wish they never came for this cruise. When I’m done, the truth will be out there for everyone to see. And everyone will know that Amber Jovani is not a w***e. Everyone would see them for who they are.
