FREYA'S POVFreya sighed as she stared at the trays of food in her hands. She was at a loss whether she should take the food to the class.“Seriously? They both had to leave her here like this?” She thought.Huffing, she set the trays on the table, no longer having an appetite, and made her way out of the cafeteria with her bag and Tiffany's bag.Trudging along the hallway that would lead her to class, she suddenly came face to face with Mary.This girl better not get on my nerves. She muttered as she tried to pass by Mary and her minions.“Not so fast, Fred,” Mary said, blocking her path.“It's Freya, not Fred. I never knew you had a problem with pronunciation.” Freya retorted, clenching her fists.“Oh, but Freya used to be Fred. I just find calling you Fred more befitting.” Mary snarled as she looked Freya up and down.“What do you want, bitch?” Freya's patience was wearing out.“Language, Fred… I mean, Freya. I just want to know more about this rumor of Tiffany dating Shawn Gold.”
TIFFANY'S POVShe nodded and sang along to Alan Walker's “Faded,” as she drove into the estate street. She can't wait to get home and have a long nap.Getting to the gate, the gate opened on its own, and she drove into the garage, parking properly before alighting.Bag in hand, she headed to the front door, and as if on cue, James opened the door.“ Welcome, Miss Dion. It's a good thing you are home on time. Your father is waiting for you in his study.” James said dutifully.“ Waiting? That is strange. Thank you, James.” Tiffany said as she made her way to the study.She got to the door and knocked.“ Come in.” Her father's voice sounded from inside.She opened the door, got inside and spotted him reclined on his large mahogany chair.On seeing her, he sat up straight with a smile forming on his lips. “ Welcome, my girl.”“ Good afternoon, Dad. James said you wanted to see me.” Tiffany said, confused about what was going on.“Yes, I did. Have a seat.” Her father gestured her to the se
He was about to get into his car when he heard his name. “Shawn? Shawn, wait up.” Rachel was hurrying towards him.Not now, Rachel. Now was not the time.“Rachel, I'm going somewhere now. Let's talk later.” Shawn said as he got into his car and turned on the ignition.“Can't I go with you?” She was close to his car now.“ No, you can't.” With that, he raised the windshield of the car and drove off.Rachel bit her lips in annoyance as she watched the car pick up speed and disappear. She hurriedly brought out her phone and called Max.“ Yo! What's good?” He asked as very loud background music filtered into Rachel's ear.“You prick! Do you want to damage my eardrums?” Rachel yelled.“Easy. I'm away from there now.” He said as the music sound faded.“Better. I need you to follow him.” She said sternly.“Who? Oh, your boyfriend?” Max asked.“Fool! It's him, of course.” Rachel was getting upset.“Why are you bothered? He is probably with his rich little girl.” Max asked.Rachel felt like
TIFFANY'S POVShe sat in her room lost in thought.Yes, she had agreed to marry Shawn but nothing prepared her for the way things are panning out.How can she stay under the same roof as that pompous fellow? They might have to kill each other just in one day of staying together.Now she didn't want to think about the public proposal. She had hoped they would have a quiet wedding with no need for a proposal. Her father and his father– the brains behind all of these should be wary of because their alliance spells trouble. How else does she explain them coming up with cohabitation as an option of all options available?Well, to save her father's company from bankruptcy, and ultimately save the lifestyle she is used to, she has to do it.With that thought in mind, she placed the earphone over her ears and rolled over on the bed.SHAWN'S POVBefore he knew it, it was Saturday–the day of the proposal.He had sent Tiffany a message the previous night informing her what the day would look li
RACHEL'S POVShe was restless as she awaited Max's feedback. She just had this feeling in her gut that Shawn was not going for a meeting. Just as she was about to call Max, his call came in.“Turn on your television. Your answer is airing life.” Max said.“What do you mean, and why is there so much noise where you are?” She asked.“Yo! Just turn on your television,” Max said before hanging up.Rachel hurriedly turned on the television and her mouth fell open at what she saw.“Billionaire Shawn Gold proposes to his high school model girlfriend Tiffany Dion. The billionaire proposed to his girlfriend at the recently opened Italian bar called D'AMOR.But then, rumors have it that their union is a means to an end. That is...” Rachel turned off the television, cutting the presenter's speech short.“No!” She screamed, connecting her fists with the wall multiple times. It was only when she noticed blood trickling down her knuckles did she stop and slumped on the floor sobbing.Shawn didn't
The red-haired girl almost fell on her knees in remorse.“I am so sorry.” She kept repeating, trying to dab Tiffany's dress with a handkerchief. “No, it's fine. I have to go.” She hurried outside to meet everyone waiting.“Seems like keeping people waiting is one of your best characteristics.” Shawn snarled before getting into the car.Mr Gold and Mr Dion immediately threw their faces away. They didn't want to be part of the couple's tantrums.“Whatever.”. She replied, deciding against an apology before getting into the car.SHAWN'S POVSee why he said she was tardy, rude, and a brat. Imagine keeping everyone waiting simply because she wanted to appear nice to some strangers.She could not even offer an apology. And come to think of it, why does she have the stains of spilled drink on her dress? Always clumsy he thought as he cast her an annoying look.TIFFANY'S POVSee why she said he was pompous and full of himself. Imagine telling her that keeping people waiting was one of her bes
SHAWN'S POVIt's Sunday, and he doesn't know why he had this feeling of dread tugging at his chest. The whole idea of a Lady moving in with him felt strange and surreal. The cleaning agency he employed their service was already done cleaning, and one of the ladies had helped set up the guest room in a Ladylike manner. He wanted everything to be perfect. Not like he wanted to impress the brat, but he was obliged to make sure she was comfortable in his house. His phone rang, and he reluctantly picked it up when he saw his fathers ID. “Have you gone to pick her? ” His voice sounded from the other end.”" What's with the rush, Dad? I'm trying to keep things in order before leaving.” “Good. And I think you should go with a flower for her and a wine for her father.”“Thank you, Dad. I have to go.” He hurriedly ended the call. For real? A flower and a wine? How impossible can his father be? Left with no option, he brought out his phone and googled the nearest flower shop around. He fo
RACHEL'S POVShe could feel her heart palpitating, as she slowly slumped to the floor.Shawn has been doing things behind her back, and it hurts her to the depth of her heart. How could he be so callous and unfeeling? He had been giving her the cold shoulders just because of a silly high School girl.She was not going to let this slide. That girl has bitten more than she can chew and she–Rachel, would make sure she spat it out. All of it!TIFFANY'S POV.They got inside his house and she must say, it looked really nice. She was more impressed by the neatness and orderliness of things. He really must be a neat guy.“So, welcome to my humble abode.” He said.“Even though I hate to say this, there is nothing humble about your house. It looks good.” She said looking at the monalisa portrait hung on the wall.“Like a Daddy boy's house, right?”She was momentarily silent before replying, “Maybe.” And then she moved on to the next portrait. It was the girl with the Pearl earring portrait.“Y
