CHAPTER ONE 

LIZZY’S POV

“Lizzy, we love you.”

“we love you.”

The fans kept on shouting and struggling to touch me.

Born into the paparazzi I was used to it.

I waved at them and smiled, trying to find a way to enter my car.

My manager and bodyguard were at my front, helping me to create space since everywhere was filled with fans and journalists trying to take pictures and ask questions.

After much struggling, I finally entered my car, with a final wave and smile.

Today has been hectic, using close to four hours for my make up and hair. Coming here. Posing for pictures and talking about the new movie. It was going to be a hit for sure.

I turned on my phone and checked the new comments on my pictures that I posted. There were lots of comments from my fans and most of them lifted my mood while some still found a way to spoil it.

I looked at my manager who was sitting beside me, talking to people on the phone, trying to clear my schedule for the rest of the year since school was going to resume next week.

I sighed and placed my head on the head rest and slowly drifted off to sleep.

“Liz we are here.”

I heard someone say bringing me out of my beauty sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and looked out the window. We were finally here.

“Thanks, Lacy.”

I told my manager and stepped out of the limo. She stepped out and was right beside me.

“Liz you have your final interview before school resumes on Saturday with the Mary’s show.”

I groaned not really happy with the idea of not totally resting before the school finally resumes.

“Lacy, I want my schedule cleared, please.”

I pleaded.

“Look Liz there is nothing I can do about this one, this show is important for you and the movies and you know that.”

She said and yeah, I guess that was end of discussion. Lucy has been my manager since like forever, she was a woman in her mid-thirties, and she had her wedding done earlier this year.

She always knew what was best for me and I guess that was why my mum left me under her care right from the start of my acting career.

“okay, fine.”

I grumbled and walked to my changing room, I took a look at myself in the mirror, I looked really dubbed up and like a Disney princess, well a sexy one. I loved how I looked though really pretty and cute. I grabbed my phone and took my last selfie in the dress.

As much as I loved it, I wanted to be free.

I changed to a faded jeans short shorts and a pink crop top.

I pulled the stiletto heels from my foot and wore a comfortable pink fila sneaker instead.

I freed my full blonde hair from the bun it was packed and that made it flow down to the middle of my back.

My hair was quite long, and I loved it like that.

Finally done with my makeover, I grabbed my car key, my black bag and walked out of the building after saying goodbye to Lucy and the rest.

I pressed the button on my car key and my pink Ferrari beeped.

“my cute baby.”

I cooed as I sat inside. Slowly taking in the lovely scent of my new car. Dad got it for me on my seventeenth birthday after coming back from his so-called vacation.

Even thinking about him gets me pissed off, and there was only one person to make me feel better again.

My babe, and do not get bad ideas. It is just my best friend.

I brought my phone and dialed my best friend’s number.

Olivia is a rock musician. She is always so dope and cool. We have not met for the past three months because we were apart from each other in the far corner of the earth. She was on her tour round Europe while I was in Australia.

The summer holiday was coming to an end and we were all to resume next week.

While everyone was busy getting a tan and all, I was busy with my new movie throughout the summer holiday, life as an actress.

After three rings she finally picked the call,

“hey babe, just watched your new movie. Loving it honey!”

She exclaimed immediately she picked making me chuckle. I have been hearing that a lot and it felt nice to know I did a great job.

“thanks Liv, how are things there?”

“things are great. I just finished a concert yesterday at United Kingdom, my last concert for the tour. I am coming home tomorrow.”

“finally! I miss you babe. Can’t wait to see you.”

I said in all honesty.

“Awwn, I miss you too even though we video call every day for an hour. I heard a new boy is resuming at ‘the royals’ this year.”

She said the first part sarcastically making me roll my eyes, but the second part was quite sudden, since most student resume straight as freshman, not as senior.

“uhm, I don’t know. I have been so busy with the movie, you know?”

I said truthfully,

“Go girl, well I heard his hot. I can leave him for your hot ass.”

I chuckled,

“you know I do not do love.”

She scoffed,

“well you should be happy I am letting him go.”

“you have not even seen him yet.”

I argued back literally scoffing,

“I thought you know me more than that.”

“shut up, I have to drive. I will talk to you later.”

“of course, babe I have to go too. Love you.”

“love you too.”

I ended the call and increased the volume of the song playing. It was hooked by why don’t we. I so love their band and can definitely not forget the day I met them.

Olivia has been my best friend since middle school. She and I met on the first day at royal middle school and since then we just clicked and have been besties.

I remember that day like yesterday, I was bored and lost in the huge school. I heard a sound and followed it only to find her there sitting and playing the piano in the music room.

When she was done, I clapped, and she got startled. I laughed at her expression and she joined me. From there we started talking about music, about the school since we were still new to it all and now, we are inseparable.

~

After thirty minutes of driving and singing along to my favorite band, I drove into the estate. Passing through so many expensive mansions, I kept driving.

A grin found its way to my face as I took in the environment, after three months of shooting in different countries I was finally home.

My gaze shifted to my rear mirror only to find that blue Porsche from the other time still following me.

I noticed it way before I entered the estate, and as much as I tried to ignore the feeling of being followed I could not. This would not be the first time though.

Well the car spoke expensive, shining and all so it could not possibly be following me, right?

My house was one of the last mansions to get to inside the estate and the only house in that area was a similar looking mansion, but no one lives there ever since the former owner sold it. I remember always greeting the beautiful old lady and her son until she got cancer and died. Her son sold the house immediately and it has been empty ever since.

I parked my car and looked at the rear mirror again, I saw the car park in front of the other big, empty mansion. It was clearly following me.

I slowly stepped down from the car and stomped towards the car.

It must probably be a stalker, or an obsessive fan.

“why the hell are you following me?”

I asked immediately with a raised eyebrow.

He looked at me as if he was trying to remember who I was obviously faking it.

What’s with all the pretense? 

His eyes took me in, and his gaze lingered on my long legs.

One feature I was always proud of.

My long-tanned legs which I got from my tall dad.

“take a photo it will last longer.”

I said with another eye roll.

He smirked and walked closer,

His hands were in his Gucci pants,

I looked up at his face, since he was way taller.

He was so gorgeous and hot, he was like a Greek god,

I looked at his eyes, it was blue with a tint of grey in it.

I have met a lot of gorgeous people in my line of work but his was at the top.

And that was the thing, he did not look familiar and he sure was not an actor.

His eyes looked so captivating that I could get lost in it.

My gaze shifted to his body as discretely as I could, and he was more than smoking hot in his black leather hood.

“who needs to take a picture now?”

He asked in a surprisingly husking voice and he had a blank look on his face. Just staring at me and now I am having second thoughts about him following me.

I shook my head trying to get back to the main topic.

I cleared my throat and managed to pull on a serious face,

“uhm, why were you following me?”

He sighed and moved closer to me making me take few steps back. He bent slowly so now I was looking at his eyes slowly finding a tint of green in it.

“I don’t know who the fuck you are so get out of my way.”

I blinked once, I blinked twice. He was still standing in front of me but now steps away.

What did he just say? He does not know me?

Who does he think he is?

Looking so handsome and obviously does not have manners. He smells like trouble.

“you do not have to be so rude asshole.”

I said back looking up at him too with the same glare in my eyes and instead he chuckled.

“why would you think I am following you?”

He asked showing a little discomfort with the word, you. Well there is always a first time for everything.

“if it was a misunderstanding you should have just said so instead of going all rude.”

I wrapped both my hands on my chest and watched how a smirk came up to his face.

“I live here, is that enough explanation?”

He pointed at the mansion next to mine. The one that was always empty.

Wait when did he start living here? This is so embarrassing. I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me.

I sighed and slightly rubbed my eyebrow, something I always do whenever I was caught doing something I am not supposed to.

“I am sorry about that but that does not mean you should act like that.”

“You do not tell me how to act.”

Such a rude personality in a beautiful body.

“fine, whatever. the name is Lizzy Greene if you really don’t know and I guess I am your neighbor.”

He scoffed,

“Noah, Noah King.”
