Chapter 3
REGAN POV: -
I can't believe it's over, three years of my life; I've waited for this day.
"I am a Graduated" Hell, to all the teachers and the students, and all these creepy college halls, these bullies.
"LETS PARTYYYYYYYYYY" I screamed at the top of my lungs; as I entered my college dorm, my roomie, aka my best friend Shawna, looked up, giving me that (have you lost your mind on the way back) look making me shrug at her inadequate response.
I ripped off my scarf from my neck and let it fall to the ground. It was scorching already, so why bother with a flimsy scarf.
"How are you, Shaw?" I asked her, calling her by the name I gave her when we met. We became besties on the very first day of college. Being her roommate was always eventful. You know. She is the barbie girl from the college, and I am the nerd who is always around. Perfect match.
She didn't answer my usual happy call with her typical happy call! So I went a little closer to her and asked again.
"Shaw, are you all right? You didn't answer me the first time. Are you one of your monthly's? Do you want some chocolate," I asked? Yeh, so for me, I crave chocolate at my time of the month when mother nature shows its appearance, and so does Shaw.
I still don't understand why God can't send us a text message saying 'You're clear". Instead, we leek strawberry syrup out of our womanly parts for seven days in a month. That's unfair!! And extremely painful.
Anyways getting back to 'Shaw.'
I pocked her trying to get her attention. When She looked up as for the first time I saw that bloodshot eyes and tear-stained face of hers, She let out a whimper and dropped to her knees, letting out a big sob.
I rushed to her side, holding her in my bear hug, keeping her from damaging her face.
"What happened? Shaw, why are you crying," she sobbed again, and then her waterfall of tears started.
"He cheated on me, Ray! That son of a bi*ch, good for nothing, Son of two fathers, so-called boyfriends of mine, cheated on me with some sl*t model". She rambles And on and on. Her words were enough to make my ear bleed. She is making me shiver.
"How can he do that? Was I not enough!? Am I not that beautiful?" she asked me, giving me those sad puppy eyes.
Oh-My-God, this is so not looking good, Not at all good. The hell. How am I supposed to answer that? I can't say anything, so I better keep it zipped. So, I just shook my head, neither in yes nor no.
I told her initially that the guy was no good for her! Has anybody even preferred to listen to a wise person on earth ever?. nuh-uh NEVER!!
I can't tell her that 'I TOLD YOU SO!' She is already sad, so I need to distract her right now.
What to do? What to do?
I mean, that guy was a Richie rich with a silver spoon hanging from his mouth. I told her that he was a player but "Nooo" at that time, "I was just being 'jealous."' And 'I should get a boyfriend like that too' now here she is weeping on my shoulder, holding me like I will disappear if she let go, leaving her in the misery alone.
Puff jealous!!! Me, I never get jealous. But I get angry, and right now, I'm a hell load of furious.
I pushed her face aside, wiping the trail of tears from her chubby cheeks. It's making me feel guilty and double angry all at the same.
"Shaw, let it be. He was not good enough for you! That guy he... He.." I stuttered, unable to find the next word to motivate Shaw. Her eyes were looking at me with so many expectations. She wants me to tell her how she is better than her boyfriend's new hookup. And she is, she is amazingly awesome, and whole English adjectives are less to describe the honest Shaw is, so eventually, I sigh.
"You know what Shaw let it be. He can have that model sl*t to himself. Tonight you and me, We are going out to celebrate your freedom from that a-hole," I told her, giving her that (please say yes or I will die) look.
She smirked and nodded her head in the yes as the answer and got up. Breathing in a long trail of oxygen, she said. "Yes, fu*k that idiot, Stupid, son of guns. I will move on and enjoy my life. Let's go party" with that, she went to our attached bathroom, closing the door behind her.
"Shaw, Please don't take too much time; I need to take a shower too. I smell like a cow's a*s right now," I told her as I picked up my scarf from the floor and made my way to our walk-in closet, searching for that 'perfect' dress for tonight. Even though my term for the 'party' is slightly different from others, I will try to best tonight.
I don't drink, but I will try to have fun as all other teenagers do. Or may I say people of my age who are neither teenagers nor complete adults do? Scanning the closet, I found a black backless dress and nodded my head yes for it.
I hope there won't be too many stare-downs. I don't want to come home with a bruised hand and a criminal record.
I heard the bathroom door click open and picked up the remaining items. A cloud of steam filled the room as Shawna appeared.
"Please tell me you did not use all the hot water"? I asked. She gave me her innocent eyes.
"Gahh cold shower it is then," she giggled when I closed the bathroom door pouting at the thought of cold water.
Chapter 4 ------------------------ Alex pov:- At the meeting with the damsel in distress," I mean the owner of Asian Corporation." Mathew Hale, my patience is running out. I couldn't quite believe the guts of this man. This man is still bargaining on the price of the bankrupt company. He calls himself the owner off.He should be happy that I am even bothering to give him the price I was paying. It's better than ever. If I take over, I will be at high risk of loss. I was taking the burden off his shoulder! But the greedy human wanted to get more money out of my pocket.Has anyone ever told him that is am not as generous as my father? I don't think he realizes that he is dealing with Alexender William and not my Father Victor William!"Mr. Mathew, I think the price is good enough for your company. You should better know that I am the only one who is willing to risk 12 million dollars on your already bankrupt organization.' I stated firmly.This meeting has
Chapter 5Alex pov cont.: -I took the last left turn, proceeding ahead to the familiar road which leads to my parent's house at the end of this ally.The same pine trees and the street lights highlight my way to their prestigious mansion located in downtown London. This area is one of the wealthiest areas in London. All the rich CEOs and High-Class actors and artists live nearby.Driving my car in the forepart of the white, blue-painted house I once used to call my home.Turning the engine off, I once again contemplated the thought of leaving without showing my face. I don't feel like going into that house.Realizing that there is no point in whining inside a car. I picked up my coat jacket and
Chapter 6 Regan pov: - After getting ready for our night, Shaw and I waited for the taxi to pick us up and take us to the downtown club. We were sitting in our dorm. Shaw was doing her minor last-minute touch-up; on the other end, Well, I am incredibly bored. So I'm just blowing air out of my mouth, making weird faces while I'm looking at Shaw load her eyes with mascara, and I am just playing a little music in the background so I won't look too awkward. Beep beep ………. I heard the car horn. 'Shaw, I think our ride is here, 'I said, sliding off the bed. I am in no mood to go out anymore. But I already said I will. I can't back down now. I feel so tired.
Chapter 7 ..................... Regan pov:- The following day I woke up with the sound of Shaw throwing up her gut out in our bathroom. I got up for my long day. Her throwing up her gut sound was making me dizzy. I knocked on the bathroom door without going in. I am not sure if I can take the sight of puke and be fine in the morning. "Shawna, are you ok? Do you want me to get you some water and maybe some pain relievers?" I asked. I am also in need of some pain relievers myself. Last night was a struggle. I barely slept, and I am facing repercussions.
............. . chapter 8............... ............Alex pov: -The dinner at our house went slow and boring, my mom as always was talking about her women's club, forcing the girl April on me, telling me how talented she is, how I should take her out on the dinner, and what no!.On the other end, my dad was sitting on the head seat of the table. Trying his best at controlling his laughter while taking in my miserable state. Throwing me a sorry look once in a while. I was giving him a look that says 'We need to talk, Right Now' him.
Chapter 9 Alex pov: - I was in my office, going over the recent month's Market capitalization date and finalizing my following investment plans for a new branch in Toronto when my best friend, Roman, barged in like he owned the place. "Hey man, what's up? I heard you had been to a dinner with your family last night," he said with that menacing smirk. I so wanted to punch that smirk off his face a lot. But I ended up shrugging it off like dirt on my Armani blazer. His smirk widened at my reaction, taking as much amusement out of this situation. "What's so funny" I murmured—not making eye contact with him. His smirk became a smile
chapter 10 After dropping Maria off, I drove back to my office in the hope of doing some pending work. The past humiliation done by that girl is still playing in my mind, just like a ridiculous movie, which you never want to watch again. Making a left turn, I parked my car in my private parking lot. I took my elevator to my office floor. When I was about to enter my cabin, I had this weird sense that something was wrong or about to go wrong. I dismissed it and took my seat. I started my computer to do something productive work. It was around 4 PM, and I was darn hungry. I wrapped up the files, about to stand up to find something to eat when I heard my secre
Chapter 11......................What the hell just happened?Am I sentenced to marry some random female in a month?No, that can never be possible!! My dad can't do this to me. I am the CEO of this company, and he threatened me to take 'MY' position.My train of thought came to a halt when Roman came in with an amused expression on his face. The amusement turned to a frown in a mere second when he saw my face.I threw my phone at the wall, ending its life as it shattered like a puzzle. I was furious, and I wanted to take this burden off my shoulders. Maybe a drink would calm me the hell down."Whoa man, What crawled up your butt and died," Roman said, raising his hands in surrender. "I heard your dad was here. Is he the reason your panties are in a twist?" I gave him me (don't fuck with me right now, look) to shut him up. He made himself comfy on my leather couch."Tell me, Alex. You know you can share anything with me. I'm t
