62Ace's POV:I see her.Among the hundreds of people inside the theater, she stood out the most.Her golden curly hair was covering her face making her look like a goddess. I could only see the divine beauty of her shape but that was enough for me.I knew it was her."Is that Anitra with Catherine?" Chelsey asked me.I don't know what she thinks. If she was waiting for a response but she wasn't going to get one."They are dating now?" She continues and sip on her drink. "They fit each other perfectly."I resist myself from acting like I wanted to. To stop myself.After six months, I was finally able to see her.Six months of not touching her. I felt like I was back to that stage I was when she disappeared five years ago.But this time I knew that she didn't promise to come back. She told me "goodbye".What a fucking ugly love we had."Are you even listening to me?" Chelsey whispered immediately the light goes off and the dim light shine from the projector."I'm not deaf, Chelsey." "

64I got down from my car and grabbed my backpack from the passenger's seat before slamming the door shut.I was nervous wrecked and restless.Ever since Mom opened up to me about our situation.It got worse.Uncle Alex took Mom to court, he said that Mom couldn't handle the company and that was why it's currently failing and I can't do anything because I'm still a teenager.A fucking teenager.I hate the fact that I can't do anything to help my mother.This is the time when a big bad wolf like uncle Alex has been looking for and now he found it.Now he'd use it against us in court and have a high chance at becoming the company's new head.I'm going to be sick.I glanced up at the huge skyscraper in front of me with the Meyer's name on it.Meyers Enterprise.My heritage.Mine.I can't believe that I'm letting it slip away from me.I had to do something.Anything at all.I could ask Anitra for help. I could ask Talia. Both of them could help me in anyway they can. Either by talking to

66Catherine's POV:"What was that all about, Mother? why is Veronica Hampton here?" I questioned immediately we walked inside her office. I was confused.There was no way that Veronica Hampton will be here in London, in my company just for the sake of it. Now she's saying that she wants to buy our company and then what? And then she will be there new owner and then we will be left with nothing that is never going to happen."Mrs Hampton came with an offer to help us settle the court case with the bank, she wanted to buy a share of the company and then we can pay the bank back and be free from the court case and that way we can have a higher hand in the court case with Alex." Mom explained, she sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "What was your response? You do know that this woman doesn't like us, she doesn't have our best interest at heart. do I have to remind you that her husband died because of a car accident that also took father's life? she still held that hatred for

68Ace's POV:"Aunt Veronica called me last night to ask me about our wedding arrangements and how we want it. I told her that I have to discuss them with you first." Chelsey said.I picked her up from her apartment some minutes ago and together we are driving to school.Chelsey wasn't as bad as I thought she was when I first met her.In fact I found out that we might have a lot in common.She is a strong woman, something I expected of her since she's from a wealthy family. She is ruthless, something we share in common as well.As the day went by I realized that she wasn't as bad as I thought.No matter what I think I can't avoid this marriage.I was able to make a choice with Kisa, mother will not let me do that again.I won't even talk about it.Thanks to Catherine Meyers, the girl I fell stupidly in love with over the years, now I don't have a choice. Now I have to put up with a girl I don't feel anything for.Who cares about love anyway, love is overrated. Love means nothing.Love

70Ace and Chelsey sat down opposite each other at the restaurant.They were out having the lunch that Ace promised her the other day but couldn't make it because he had to drive Catherine to the hospital.Of course he came up with a different excuse.He couldn't tell her the real reason why he couldn't make it." Are you okay?"Chelsey questioned, her eyes holding Ace's."Yes Baby, why do you ask?""I don't know." She responded truthfully, she twirl her fork around the spaghetti sauce and sighed. "I just feel like you're not very open to me."" Come on, Chelsey. I'm open to you. We are going to get married soon, you can't say that." Ace said to her and she chuckled."Really? You should have thought of that when you left me standing meanwhile you're with that girl! Do you think I didn't know? I just kept quiet, I'm not a fool." Chelsey gritted out.Ace has been trying to avoid stuffs like this.He took Chelsey's left hand in his and started caressing it."I'm not here to fight with you
