Mason.If April thought I was going to continue chasing her after blocking me, she was wrong. Now, I was completely done. Done with everything, fed up of her drama. She was nice girl but way too immature for me. It was like she didn’t know what she wanted. One day she wanted to be with me, the next, she didn’t want me. The relationship between us was starting to get toxic.I seemed to have forgotten I was the powerful Mason Steele. I was known for many things and chasing women wasn’t one of them. It was the women who did the chasing. April was unique, but I knew I’d find another unique woman soon enough. Besides, there were more important things than women. Money, for example.“It’s been a while,” Jed said as he fumbled with his gaming console. “How’s everything? How’s April? Haven’t seen her in a long time.”“We broke up,” I informed him, gulping the contents of the wine bottle in my hand. “No wonder you’re in such a mood. What happened?”“She’s crazy. Carolina warned me about her a

I spent the next two weeks recording several songs written by Kenny’s song writers. Jenny wasn’t very happy about me staying away from work. She went ahead to threaten me but I made my choice. Kenny believed in me and that made me start believing in myself. I knew something would come out of what I was doing, and it did. After the release, the songs started trending. At first, I couldn’t believe it, and thought they would stop but they didn’t. Kenny’s team upped their marketing, painting me as a very soulful singer and it actually worked. All the emotional and depressed teens turned my songs into their anthems. They trended on social media platforms. Some movie and TV show producers contacted us to use the music in their movies.Somehow, I had become a celebrity overnight. I had ever really thought about it before so I was shocked by many things. Suddenly, my life wasn’t mine any more. From morning to evening, I was surrounded by makeup artistes, trainers, designers, and different ty

April.Nicky Jones turned out to be more interesting than I thought. He was a fun carefree guy who made me laugh a lot. I enjoyed the date so much that I didn’t even realise that two hours had passed. By the time it was done, I didn’t feel like leaving but both of us had other things to do. After the date, Mason and I texted for a while, sharing some small talk. We didn’t talk about renewing the relationship or anything like that.I felt slightly disappointed but I could tell Mason was trying to take things slow this time. When I thought about it, I realised it may be a good thing. We had taken things quite fast before and it didn’t work out. Later that evening as I was scrolling through the internet, I saw photos of us during the date. I read through the comments on the post and checked other posts from outlets in Miami. People were speculating about our relationship status. This put a damper on my plans. I knew Mason must have already seen it and put the two together. Now, he proba

Mason.“I can explain.”I was on a date with a beautiful nurse when I received the message from April after ignoring the calls. After reading it, I switched off my phone, feeling angry. How dare she? Did she think I was a love-struck fool who had lost his mind? She was living her best life, kissing her new boyfriend in front of cameras. I was angered by the fact that she thought I could listen to her. My days of being a simp were over. April Hartfield was not the only amazing woman in the world.I was a billionaire for fvcks sake, able to get any woman I set my eyes on. April slipping through my fingers did not mean I could not do better. There were many great women from all walks of life, and I could choose from a wide variety because of my status in society.“Are you okay?” Melanie asked, her blue eyes showing a great deal of concern.I smiled, looking into her mesmerizing eyes. She had a sweet smile to accompany them, making her easy on the eyes. Her only flow was the inability to

April.If I had to do one more interview with Nicky Jones pretending to be deeply in love with him, I’d go mad. After a long day of interviews, fake smiles and kisses, I impulsively packed up a few things in a suitcase and left Miami. I switched off my phone to avoid calls from Nicky and Kylie who couldn’t get enough of the fake romance. I was done. I didn’t care about the consequences anymore. Faking it was not in me.When I arrived in the peaceful small town called Flowood, I booked a room in a midrange resort. I had the most peaceful night I’d had in a while. No one seemed to know me, or they didn’t care. I choose a quiet place in the bar and enjoyed a few drinks before going to sleep.As I had breakfast in the morning, I was given a flyer by one of the staff. It was for a single’s event, a matchmaking affair. I didn’t plan on attending anything that put me in close vicinity with other people. The town might have been in the middle of nowhere, but there was possibility of one of th
