“I’ve should’ve broken up with you months ago but I just took pity on your pathetic self cause you depended on me so much”
Ouch ! the idiot confessed. My prediction was definitely right
“What?”
“Look at you Maria, you’re not even hot and sexy like your sister. You’re just shapeless and… and…. nothing. You don’t even have a stable job, just trying to find a spot in the entertainment industry nor do you dress prettily cause you don’t have enough cash at hand. What guy in his right senses would be interested in you?”
I balled my hands into fists, how could that rag of a being still occupy earth’s oxygen? I tried stepping in but a crowd was already gathering. knowing stepping in was going to mean scandal, I stayed put.
It was obvious If I ever step in, I was going to beat the fear of God into that guy, and have the paparazzi following me the next day come news and gossip columns.
So I’ll just deal with him in the secret without anyone noticing, not even the broken-hearted girl.
Suddenly, I saw stubborn ass flee the scene with hands pressed to her lips. She was probably crying which I’m not a huge fan of but who cares? The girl’s in pain
Leaving the hotel, I got to the car before she could and helped her in.
“Drive” I commanded my chauffeur with no destination in mind. She sat with a trembling hand to her mouth muffling her cries while her shoulder shook violently
“You should stop crying,” I said to her and she lifted red bleary eyes at me asking me tearfully “How could you be so heartless?”
I glanced at her, my face forming a frown “Alright then cry and tell me what it solved “I retorted and she stared at me for a while before looking away.
“You should be strong and pay him back in his own coin. Make him regret ever leaving you”I encouraged her hoping she was going to lit up a bit but it didn’t work
“How?!” She snapped flinging her hands in frustration “I’m nothing, I don’t have anything, I’m broke, I’m not pretty and I don’t even have a stable job. So, tell me how?” She croaked
I smiled and she cast me a confused look.
“Then stick by me and I’ll make all your dreams come true”
She stared hard at me trying to comprehend what I just said. I guessed she was thinking I was certainly bluffing when an idea suddenly popped up in my head
“For the start, I’ll pay you a hundred thousand dollars if you’ll agree to be my date for tonight”
I saw her eyes fly open alongside her mouth and asked startled “A hundred thousand dollars just to be your date for a night?” She asked in disbelief
“Yes,” I answered, “To be precise, a fake date” I corrected, totally knowing the offer was too tempting to be turned down.
Moreover, helping damsels in distress is my forte, my own special way of helping mankind. So there wasn’t any special reason why I helped her. So I thought
**********************************************
Maria’s POV
My heart shredded to pieces when Andrew called me nothing. I couldn’t believe it, Andrew was cheating on me all this time and I just fell for him stupidly. Andrew called me special but now I’m nothing, how could he change so soon?
Tears welled in my eyes and I lifted a trembling hand to my mouth fleeing the scene. I felt so cheated on and stupid, I couldn’t even defend myself
I headed to the car as tears blinded my eyes, I tried opening the car door but someone did before I could. I barely sat down before I broke down into tears. How could Andrew do that to me? I trusted him so much. How could he turn me into trash for everyone to step on?
I clenched my fist, he even compared me to my sister. The worst sin you could commit against me was comparing me to my sister which he did with all pleasure.
“You should stop crying,” Mr. Ice said, making my heart ache more. How could he say that?
Am I not permitted to cry too?
“How could you be so heartless?” I retorted wondering if that was the right way to comfort a girl in pain
He frowned ” Alright then cry and tell me what it solved ” I stared at him hard before looking away. He was right, I shouldn’t cry but how can I relieve my heart of the pain it’s feeling
“You should stay strong and pay him back in his own coins.you should make him regret leaving you,” he said as I stared at him in disbelief. How could I pay Andrew back when I literally have nothing.
“How?” I snapped flinging my hands in frustration “I’m nothing, I don’t have anything, I’m broke, I’m not pretty and I don’t even have a job. So tell me how?” I croaked trying to subdue the tears threatening to spill further
“Then stick by me and I’ll make your dream come true” came his reply. Was he kidding me? How? Who is he? a President? Jesus?
I stared at him, did he really mean what he just said, or was he another Andrew in disguise.
My mouth dropped open,
“A hundred thousand dollars just to be your date for the night?” He’s got to be kidding me
“To be precise, a fake date” he specified, reminding me all this was business and nothing else.
He filled me in with details of his girlfriend and his father. Thanks to that, I came to know his name’s Niles Sparks, and trust me, I couldn’t handle the shock
“You’re n-Niles s-spe…..?”
“Yeah” he cut me short quickly before I could finish my question. I took a deep breath trying to steady my beating heart which was thudding hard against my chest.
Niles Sparks? One of the most notorious players in world history. How could I not recognize him? He was always featured in magazines as one of the most successful young entrepreneurs around the globe alongside news of model-like women gracing his arms.
How in the world did I get involved with someone like that?
“So you want me to impersonate your girlfriend, is that what you’re trying to say?” I asked and he nodded casually. OK, things just got messy and interesting.
“You do know you’re asking me to lie to your father” I reminded in case he has forgotten it’s his father we’re talking here
“So?” He asked nonchalantly, not even slightly bothered he’s asking a stranger to fool his dad
“Don’t you feel it isn’t right and I can’t even get rid of the gory image of your girlfriend tormenting me for impersonating her on a night she’s supposed to impress your father with her charms”
Niles stared at me with a blank expression on his face before bursting into laughter. He laughed so much that a few tears escaped the brim of his eyes “seriously?” He laughed “Are you an author?”
I cast him a deadpanned glare retorting “I do the acting not the writing”
Niles murmured “figures”
“I’m serious here Niles, how do you think your father will feel when he finds out you lied to him?” I asked him and he went silent probably reflecting on the mistake he’s about to make
He suddenly shifted towards me, placed a hand on my shoulder, and tilted his head to my side, whispering in my ears “My father, my problem. So in or out?”
I stared at his face for a while confused about what to do. Did he really mean he was going to help me have my revenge on Andrew moreover I’m about to lie to his father, would there be consequences?
“Why? “I gulped nervously as he murmured
“What?”.
“Why do you want to help me ?” I asked knowing his reply would determine if I was going to take the offer or not.
He smiled and took my hand saying “I hate guys who make pretty girls cry”
Was he for real?
I scoffed “Seriously, that’s all?”
He gave me a fake innocent face “Yeah, why? Is there anything else you want me to say?”
“No” came my reply.
Niles might be a player and all that but he’s a smart ass. Right now he’s playing with me, a test. Why is he testing me? Does he think I’m going to chicken out of the deal or expect romance with him?
