"Hey Freya" I shouted from downstairs as I was almost ready to leave for Charles's place

"Coming" she came running downstairs with her uniform on, "let's go" she grabbed her car keys and we left closing the door behind us

I asked Freya to drop me off to Charles's penthouse as it would also help me calm my nerves. After Freya explained things, I felt a lot better. It just a misunderstanding, which we will soon clear out. I would just go and ask him why he didn't tell me about it and I will let him explain me everything. Phew! Everything going to be ok.

"Calm down, it's going to be okay" Freya patted my fidgeting hands, giving me an encouraging smile.

When we reached the building, Freya stopped the car.

"Holy cow, your lobster lives here?" She asked her mouth wide open

"Yeah"

"i would fancy a tour here someday" she said still not tearing her eyes from the building

"Sure, now I gotta go" I said as my heart started thumping loudly.

"Yeah, call me if you need anything. Like anything, Olivia" she said Olivia which means she is serious

"Yeah totally" I said giving her a weak smile and close the car door

I stood there looking at the building. I don't know why, but I'm having this weird feeling inside me. I-

"Ugh! Move your pretty ass lady. Your prince charming ain't gonna appear to pick you up in his arms" Freya shouted as she roll down the window.

People started looking at us making me glare at Freya, "I'm going okay" with that I almost ran towards the building not wanting Freya to embarrass me more.

Reaching the elevator, I press the button to his floor with my trembling hands but a hand stopped it before it could close.

"Hey party girl"

"Brandon"

"The one and only" he smirked

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"My best friend lives here" he quiver his eyebrows like duh.

"Right" I folded my arm, waiting for the elevator door to open

"Btw what are you doing here so early?" He asked

"Nothing, Charles and I had some misunderstanding last night. And I just came to talk it out"

"Does this misunderstanding have to do something with a girl name Mariah?" He asked but not looking at me

"Uh, yes" I looked at him confused. Does he knows about it?

"Shit" he mumbled

"Wait, did you too knew about the engagement?" I asked getting angry again

"Engagement? What?" He looked at me with horrified eyes

"The engagement of Charles and that girl" I said and my heart started to sink again

"No, no. I didn't know. I mean- what the fuck" he yelled

The elevator door open as I walked out. Brandon stood there, froze.

"You coming?"

"Yeah, you go ahead. I need time to process this"

"Okay" I gave him a weird look and started walking towards Charles's penthouse.

I was shivering the time I reached at front of his door. I know the code to open the door but i chose not to. Gathering up all the courage, I press the doorbell. My hands were sweaty and my mind was mess.

The door open, I looked up smiling but my smile soon vanished when I saw who it was.

"What are you doing here?"

I woke up with a smile on my face. I checked my phone to see a text from my father. He replied to my text "Mission accomplished"

Throwing my phone on my bed, I went to look at my face at the mirror. Hmmm, sexy.

Last night was exactly what I thought it would be. Charles fell for my act and thought that I'm a damsel in distress. My fake tears were actually convincing.

Before coming here, I need to make my wound look real so I hit my hands with whips. It hurt like a bitch but was enough to make Charles believe in me. I thought after he agreed for me to stay, he would let me in his bedroom but he said I could sleep in the guest room.

I was so pissed, I was looking forward to sleep next to him, watching him sleep. Never mind but I asked him if I could borrow his shirt as I was uncomfortable in mine. He seems a bit distress but I batted my eyes innocently that he couldn't say no.

I smiled as I looked down at the white shirt which reaches my mid thigh. It smells of him. I brushed my teeth and chapped lipstick then decided to go to Charles's room.

Tiptoeing I open the door, slowly sliding inside. He lay there peaceful with his bare back. I went and sat next to him.

When will he understand that I love him so much? That I would go to any lengths to make him mine..

I lay next to him, scooting closer. I moved my face closer to him, slowly reaching his lips. He opened his eyes, as he jerkily woke up. Instead of his mouth my lips made contact with his cheeks.

"What the hell?" He shouted as he stood up glaring down at me.

"I was-"

"What are you doing in my bedroom? And why the hell were you sleeping on my bed?" The room boomed with his voice but it didn't affect me

I slowly crouched towards him placing my hands on his bare chest but before I could touch them he held my hands

"What are you doing Mariah?" He looked into my eyes

"I love you Charles" I screamed

"Get the hell out. It was a mistake to let you stay here" he said coldly

When I didn't move he face turned red, "I said get the hell out of here"

I flinched as I saw how angry he was. I climb down of the bed and walked out. It's not over...

As I was going downstairs, the bell rang

I looked up to see if Charles is coming but he didn't so I went to open the door.

But what I saw made my lips curl up in a smirk

"What are you doing here?" She asked shocked to see me

"Hello Olivia"
