I Won't Fall For You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

 2 years later  Vanessa Collins  I end the call before sighing deeply and placing the phone in my pocket. The owner of the house that am staying at have decided to throw me on the streets since I owe two months of rent. Can life get any worse? I don't think so. I couldn't live on the streets especially New York streets.  I started walking down the pavement clutching my coat closer to my body. Ever since what happened two years ago I've been struggling. It actually wasn't always so. After Omar offered me a ride when I was being chased, I told him everything that happened with my past and the type of work that I did. He didn't judge me or anything of the sort and I stayed at his place for a few months. We got closer and closer then we end up sleeping together. But then he met in a car accident and died. I was beyond devastated that I cried until I couldn't anymore. T

VanessaI was awoken by a knock on the door. I groaned lowly before running a hand through my hair and opening it. I was greeted by no other than Mr. Pierce who had a smile on his face."Good morning, seems like you slept well. Julia is waiting for you downstairs""Ok Mr -"My name is Devin", he said before walking away. I close the door and went to the bathroom.After brushing my teeth and setting my hair I left the room and made my way downstairs. I saw Julia looking exceptionally beautiful. I don't usually compliment people so if I do then that must be saying something.They were laughing about something that seemed really funny and when they noticed my presence, Devin crossed his legs and half smiled at me while Julia turned and looked at me."Hello - I didn't quite get your name the last time"

*A week later*   Vanessa   "Why is the couch like that?", I asked Devin when I noticed a pile of clothes mainly suits scattered all over it. "I'm going to a party tonight, Julia said I should invite you but she wasn't sure whether or not you'd accept", he replied before digging through the clothes perhaps looking for something specific. "I'm not interested in going to any party", was my reply before taking a seat. It will be full of rich and cocky people who thinks they're on top of the world because they got it all. If I was rich, I can't deny that I won't feel as good as them but it's also good to be humble. How much of them helped the poor? I'm not a saint - we're only human and eventually one day we will all die leaving all our riches behind, so why not share it and let the poor feel as good? "I had a fe

Vanessa"I'm glad you came, nice dress by the way"."Thanks", I replied before taking a sip of my cocktail which consisted of lime and also coconut.We came back inside a little earlier and Julia and I have were having a conversation at the side of the room. After what Devin told me about Mordechai I developed this uneasy feeling. All I knew was that I didn't want to get involved with him at all, especially after what he did to my arm. He was rich and one wrong move from me could lead to something I didn't want."So, how is your work coming on?""Its fine", I say before glancing up stairs to see him talking to a woman dressed in a knee length dress. She screamed luxury from her matching accessories to the way her hair was designed."Oh, my husband is here", Julia said before walking off towards a man with a small beard

Vanessa"You're joking right?"We all looked at the boss who's face was deadly serious. He shook his head no and that was when all of us sighed. I knew there was something off when he drove a new car to work that day. "So what are we going to do?", Erin shouted feeling the most depressed because he needed the money for his little sister. The boss threw his hands up looking sad as ever but I didn't care. This was all his fault and now the restaurant will be closed down because of bankruptcy.I felt kinda depressed also because finding another job could take weeks especially for a person who doesn't have a degree. I groaned before turning on my heel and leaving the place. Once outside I noticed that everyone else was leaving as the boss sat their with his head in his hands."This shit sucks", Erin said as we all nod in agreement. I felt for him because he has to take care of his little sister who was in a wheelchair. He had been taking care of her since their mom died and even thou per
