Chapter 1
Fia Smith is outside the Orion's Lmt'd, the place where she came to seek a job, anxious. This is the one she wishes she gets chosen for since their pay is so good and the job vacancy they had was a stress-free one. She is about to dash into the building when her phone beeps and stops her and it's not just any text tone that she hears, it's the one that she had set for her boyfriend. She hastily brings out a phone with a smile. 'It must be a good luck message!' She thinks but when she opens the message, her mouth is left widened. Tears begin to prickle out of her eyes. It feels as if a hammer had been thrown at her heart. 'He must be joking, right? They didn't fight. They were cool. She had met him just yesterday and they even ate together. So what was wrong?' These thoughts flowed in her head then she dialed his number and called him. She needed to call him and ask him what was wrong. What she did do wrong? The text didn't state what made him make such decisions. It just said 'We can't go on anymore. It's over, Fia. Just forget that I ever existed in your life.' so he still had to explain what to do. She's about to try to call him again when she sees Jennifer, her best friend call. She picks it up and is about to start blurting out all her problems but before she can even say a word, Jennifer hastily speaks. ""Have you seen Colt's latest i********: post? Did you two break up?''" She states and I sigh. What did he post? Was it some heartbreak text or videos? Was he heartbroken? Did she do or say something that he didn't like? "Yes. I don't even understand. I guess we will sort all these out after my interview..." She states but Jennifer cuts in. "Sort what out? How will you want to sort out with someone who's flirting around just a day or two after breaking up?" She states and this makes Fia confused. "I don't understand. What do you mean?" She asks and Jennifer sighs. "Go see for yourself. That guy is a real jerk," She states and before Fia can state anything further, she cuts the call. Fia's brows furrowed in confusion. What was she talking about? It wasn't a heartbreak text? He was flirting? Who was he flirting with and how did he flirt? She opens her i********: app and goes over to his profile. When she saw his new post, if her heart was broken the time she received the text, then now, it was in shatters. It was a post of him and a girl kissing. The picture wasn't even the worst, the caption was. It said 'It's been a while since I got into a relationship. New Girlfriend alert and this time it's a Forever,' She felt like fainting. It was now that she had just confirmed that the breakup was real and it wasn't her fault. It wasn't some sort of misunderstanding either. The jerk had dumped her! He has left her after all the promises he made. He was still the same! The saying humans can never change is indeed true. She goes to the comment section and as she reads the comment, her eyes and tears pour out more but she cleans it and goes on to type her message. "'So what we had was what, huh? You jerk! Do you think breaking girl's hearts is something worth accolades? Whatever you're doing will come back to you," She writes then she sends it. She stays still as she keeps staring at the picture. She wishes she could hold the tears and the extreme heartbreak she was feeling since he didn't deserve any of it but she can't. No It is too much for her to bear and the fact that Jennifer warned her is what's hurting her the most. She had told her that he would still go back to his ways and just wanted to play her too but she turned a blind ear. She had believed in his words, his fake love, and his fake gestures. She can still remember the first time they met and how their relationship had started. After being project partners, he had tried several ways to ask her out, but she refused them all due to his reputation as a playboy and a jerk. Well, when he kept on pestering around her, she kept him as a friend but her feelings for him slowly started developing. He had brought her into a new world. A world of fun, making more friends, hanging out more. And when she had an accident, being hit by a car then, he was there for her. All these made her eventually give in thinking that he was real about her but he was still the same... She calms her nerves and cleans her tears deciding that she wouldn't let the breakup affect her. She was going to forget about him and move on. She would show him and those who must be mocking her now, that she could have a good life without him with a hotter guy. She wasn't going to look like some sad puppy in front of him or the whole school. Even if she needs to hire a guy to do that, she will. She returns her gaze to the place in front of her and heads in to submit her credentials. After dropping it off with the receptionist, she leaves the building now heading to the next company to drop her Credentials since one thing she can't afford to do is let the heartbreak she is feeling ruin her goals or plans for herself. She kept dropping her resume in the Companies and when the sun began to go down, she decided to head back to her hostel and go to sleep. ‘She wouldn't mind people or what they say. She would just go straight to rest,’ She thinks though she knows that she's deceiving herself. She knew her hostel was the worst place for her to go to but she didn't have another option. Jennifer is out of the city for a vacation with her parents and that was the only friend that she had. She had no one but her. She continues walking heading to her hostel but pauses midway due to the loud music pumping and the lighting. She looks by her side and she sees the ‘Season Night Club,’ she chuckles. Was this a suggestion that the heavens were giving her? Well, if it was, she is taking it since it’s the best she has now. She can not only drink away her sorrow here but she can also feel at peace and away from the dramas waiting for her in the hostel. She walks past a couple making out and going closer to the club. When she arrives at the double swing door, a bodyguard pulls one of it for her and what welcomes her is the smell of alcohol and sweats. She arrives at the bar area sitting on one of the empty leather stools. She sees a man by her side and when their eyes meet, she blinks mesmerized by his beautiful eyes and face. When she studies him carefully, she realizes that he’s also dressed exorbitant. She wonders what someone like him would be doing here. Was it heartbreak? No! It couldn’t be, no woman in her right senses would break up with such a man. Maybe just work stress though. “Hey,” She greets him, and her greetings back though in a slurred tone. He seemed to be very drunk. He returns to his drink then she orders hers but after a while of silence, he just begins to speak “You know life is so hard. Sometimes you think that your situation is so perfect just when someone will come and ruin it.” He soliloquizes and even though she wasn’t sure who he was talking to, she responded. “You just defined what I am going through. I guess it’s not only me that’s feeling so shattered,” She says and with this, they start letting out their minds as they drink. He had spoken about his family inheritance issue and the need for marriage. He told her about how he had worked in the company, taken it where it got to, only to be told that marriage was the condition determining his inheritance because his father thought he was gay. She equally told him about how she had just been dumped by a guy who her world revolved at. “I need to make him jealous and look stronger. I can't just look like the nerd who got dumped by the hottest guy. I have to win this game by showing up stronger. Now I am left wondering how to do that,” She slurred smiling at herself as she played with the liquid inside the glass cup and then took her last shot. “Well I could help you with that and you could also help me,” Hoffman says gazing intently at her. “Marry me for two years and you won't only gain looking stronger, I’d pay you a hefty sum,”
