"You know I don't like repeating a word, so just leave. Your services are no longer needed, which means you're fired. " Juliana yelled at her stupid bodyguard. who does he think he was? Ditching her at a party the previous night while she was paying his bills and coming back this morning with the excuse his dying mother in hospital wanted to see him urgently. but she didn't give a damn care because she never cared for once in her life. It is what it is, anytime.

"I'm really sorry, ma'am. I know i made a terrible mistake for not telling you before leaving. it totally slipped my mind while rushing to meet her.

"Elena, tell kelvin to stop pleading and leave my sight now." she faced her personal assistant and her childhood best friend with an angry face.

Elena looked at kelvin, who was on her knees with a teary face. "Kelvin, just get up and clean your tears. Don't worry, i will talk to her, she's definitely calling you back. leave right now. you know how crazy she can get when she's angry. Elena said, and kelvin slowly stood up. He bowed at her before leaving the room.

She faced Elena, "Thank God you're my friend because you'd show me how how crazy i get whenever I'm angry. And right now, I'm angry with you for pleading on kelvin's behalf."

"Hey girl, you know one thing I hate most in life is begging, and for your information, I'm not calling him back. No one messes with the city diva and escapes it.

A little introduction of her: her name is Juliana Rodriguez, the one and only heiress of De mudos hotels in the whole of America. She was the billion dollar lady, and without her parents' money, a billion was already flowing into her account. She has always had it good in her life, and at age twenty-two, she was a pop star, dancer, and model. And who the hell doesn't know her in America? She was blessed with an angelic voice that could melt a hard guy ,a gorgeous body that put men under her spell. love was a word she believed in, but she took part in guilty pleasure with nightstands. she knew people said she was bossy, and she had a lot of crazy names people called her by, but she didn't give a damn care.

******

'Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrh', God knows he so much hates this sound. He said with his eyes still closed, trying to cover himself well with the duvet. He suddenly snapped, eyes opened, and jerked up from the bed. He picked up his phone on the nightstand beside the bed and checked the time. 8:30 am, he was already late for his new job.

He quickly dropped his phone on the bed and rushed to the bathroom to do his morning routines, coming out within minutes. He quickly put on a skinny pair of jeans and a white. Gucci T- shirt with brand new white sneakers. He picked up his phone and Airpods from the bed and withdrew his bike keys under the nightstand drawer. Rushing out, he locked the door.

Bryan looked up at the sky; the atmosphere was beautiful, and he thought it wasn't going to be sunny today. He quickly got on his bike, plucked in his Airpods, and put on a song titled 'City Light' by his favourite singer Juliana. God, he loved Ana; She was a great singer and songwriter, her lyrics her always on point and relatable. He started his bike and sped off.

Yeah, he was off to his new work. His name was Bryan Stalham, twenty-five years old. A guy who took up multiple jobs just to make ends meet. His father passed away a long time ago; He was barely six or seven back then, and since he was the first child, the responsibilities were on him. He took a lot of jobs to keep him, his mom, and his twin siblings alive. life wasn't really good to them, but he always thanked God they survived every trouble they came across. At the age of twenty, he rented an apartment with the little he saved up and moved out of his parents' house. The twins are seventeen and in their senior year. Right now, he just got a job as a delivery man from P and P (pastries and pizza), which he must resume by 8:00 am and close by 6:00 pm, and by 7:00 pm, he'd resume his second job at logistics lounge and bar as a bartender.

Bryan stopped the bike in front of the restaurant, "Pastries and Pizza," emblazoned on the sign above. He got off the bike, removed the key, and paused the song he was listening to, checking his phone. It was 8:40 am. As he pushed open the glass door, a bell above it rang out, signalling his arrival.

Kyle, his best friend and manager of Pastries and Pizza, rushed towards him upon seeing Bryan. "Thank God you're here! We've just received our first delivery call. Come with me," Kyle said, turning around while Bryan followed closely behind. Bryan didn't bother asking why he was late, knowing he didn't have a valid excuse - he had simply overslept.

waking up to a beautiful morning was an underrated blessing to people, Juliana always thought, as she opened her eye and sat up on her bed. whatever invaded sunlight was a bother as it streamed through the partly curtains. It was barely past eight on this delightful Saturday morning. she got down from her queen-sized bed, walked up to the window, and hung up the curtains. She rested her body on it and closed her eyes, breathing in the fresh air. It rushed through her nostrils. She opened her eyes and looked up at the weather. It was so cool. She stayed there for a few minutes before walking to the bathroom and did her morning duties. She spent almost an hour before getting ready. She creamed her body with different lotions to keep her body smooth, put on her favourite pink mini dress, and packed her hair up in ponytails. She wore her pink flip-flops and picked up her iPad from her bed. Juliana descended down the stairs, holding the railings for support. She walked straight to the sitting room and saw Elena sitting comfortably like the owner of the house, pressing her iPad and laughing hysterically. She walked straight to the counch Elena was sitting on and sat beside her, crossing her long legs on the center table and stretching her neck like a giraffe to see what she was up to on her phone. It seemed like she was chatting with someone. Juliana lived alone with her maids, who are nice and wonderful people. However, she couldn't expect them to sit down and chat or play with her. They were there to work and be paid. That's all she always said. She found the mansion boring without anyone to talk to, so months ago, she asked Elena to move in with her, and she did.

She rolled her eyes because Elena was still not looking at her. Elena kept chatting on her phone with a smile pattered on her face. That annoying little thing was intentionally ignoring her, Juliana thought, hoping she had forgotten she paid her bills. If this was how Elena wanted to play games, she was ready to play along. She would play along with the silent game. Juliana picked up her phone, which she dropped earlier beside her , unlocked it, and went straight to the games app. She clicked on Subway surfers. She was really good at this game. it had been almost thirty minutes, and Elena was not saying a word to her, which was really getting annoying. So, Juliana dropped her phone again beside her and looked up to Elena.

"Well, it seems like you are busy with your phone and pretending I'm not here. Don't forget I paid your bills. you might be my best friend, but you still need to attend to my needs. Juliana said rudely, keeping her face straight with no emotions written on it.

"I'm so sorry, Ana. I really don't mean to ignore you. I'm just carried away with my phone. you look ugly with that look on your face. Just try and smile a little." Elena replied

"Right now, I don't give a damn whether I'm ugly or not. I really need food badly. it like I slept off without eating anything last night. Juliana said, rubbing her flat stomach.

"That good; the maids just finished cooking bacon and chips. " Elena replied, smiling, but Juliana was about to disappoint her.

"Too bad I'm not in the mood to eat that. Right now, I'm craving pizzas. " Juliana said while Elena frowned.

"But what about the bacon? The maids put their time and effort into. she frowned, but Juliana never cared about the maids. She got what she wanted, and that all mattered.

"They can just throw it in the bin or stuff it down their throats; just hurry up and order the pizzas." Juliana shouted, slamming her right hand on the table.

"Okay, just calm down. I'll place the order now." Elena said, facing her phone and sending a message to the bakery store.

"Let's talk about business now. What's on the table for me? Any schedule this week?. Juliana asked.

" Yeah, you are having a concert with Emirates stadium on Saturday, a modelling shot with Calvin klein, and on Wednesday, an interview with glamours t.v." Elena read from her tab.

"About the interview, can you cancel that? I'm not in the mood to grant an interview right now. Juliana said, picking up the t.v remote.

"But we said yes a month ago when they reached out to us. What excuse should i give them now? Elena said, glaring at her with an annoying face. But Juliana was the city diva, and they would always go by her rules.

"Don't get me angry, El, I'm not in the mood anymore. Get that straight to your skull. And for what you're going to say, that's part of the job you're paid for." Juliana yelled at her, trying to keep her emotion under control. no matter how rude Juliana was to Elena, she always kept a smiling face on. she was the complete opposite of Juliana - caring, friendly, and always smiling. They had met in junior high school and connected easily. throughout their high school and college, Elena was the constant friend in Juliana's life. Despite making many friends, Elena always came back to Juliana because she knew Juliana needed her. Juliana was grateful for Elena's presence in her life, but she struggled to express her feelings.

"Okay, Ana, I'm gonna work on it. just relax your face a little; you look ugly when you're angry." Elena said as she started typing her phone again. Meanwhile, Juliana switched on the t.v and she flipped through channels until she found a music station. She settled on a channel and put the remote back on the table. The next music video that popped up was her first ever music video, which she debuted at the eighteen. It was for her hit song, "Billion dollars," which catapulted her to fame and earned her major deals, a record label, modelling contracts, and more. looking back at the peaks of her career, Juliana was thankful to her teams, who had supported her and trusted her.

*********

Bryan just delivered the first pizza of the day and back to the bakery store. As he headed to the restroom, Kyle rushed out of his office.

"Thank God you're back. We have another delivery. Jasper, the other guy working with you, won't make it. you have to do all the deliveries today. But don't worry, you'll get a bonus for it." Kyle said.

"So where's the package? Bryan asked.

"it has been packed on the company bike you'll be riding. I will send the address on your phone. just make sure you get there on time. She's a very prominent customer, and losing her would mean losing our job here." Kyle explained.

Bryan nodded, and Kyle took him to where the bike was parked. After sending the address to Bryan's phone, Kyle let him get on his way. Bryan wasted know time getting the bike, thinking it going to be a long day.

Bryan got settled on his bike, plucked in the Airpods on both ears, connected them to his phone, and selected a song from his favourite artist, Juliana. He started the bike and sped away. singing along with the song, which was blasting his ear. Bryan loved music; He calmed him down, sometimes worked him up, and made him feel nostalgic about the past or excited about the future. Music was irresistible, and so was the smile on his face. He was lost with the beautiful voice of Juliana. To him, it was the most amazing voice he ever heard.

As Bryan rode his bike through the neighbourhood, the warm sun cast a golden glow on the lush green lawns and majestic mansions. The scent of freshly cut grass wafted through the air, mingling with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze created a soothing melody.

When he arrived at the mansion, he noticed the intricate stone carvings on the facade and the beautifully manicured gardens. The sound of the doorbell echoed through the hallway as he pressed the button.

A few minutes later, the door opened, and Juliana stood before him. Bryan's eyes widened in surprise; he couldn't believe the person standing in front of him was actually Juliana. He stared at her without blinking, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Hand me the package when you're done eye-raping me," Juliana said with a smile. "I'm so sorry," Bryan stuttered. Juliana looked him closely and asked, "Why are you the one delivering this? There's this particular guy who always brings my package."The other guy couldn't make it to work today," Bryan replied.

Juliana nodded and turned back, leaving Bryan to hand the package to Elena, who had appeared behind her. Elena joined Juliana on the couch, placing the pizza on the table and unwrapping it. The aroma of freshly baked pizza crust filled the room, making Juliana's stomach growl with hunger. She took a bite of the pizza, and the gooey cheese stretched as she pulled it apart. The flavours danced on her tongue, a perfect blend of savoury sauce, melted cheese, and crispy crust. Elena asked, "So, tell me why you were rude to the guy earlier?" Juliana rolled her eyes and replied,"He was staring like he wanted to devour every piece of me."

**********

Bryan couldn't shake off the encounter with Juliana from his mind. She was so pretty, and speaking and standing close to her felt unbelievable. He had attended her concerts before and admired her stage presence. Juliana wasn't just his crush; she was every American man's dream.

After finishing his delivery, Bryan headed to his second job. As he was leaving, Kyle asked, "You're leaving already?" Bryan nodded. "Well, you did great work today. Jasper is definitely coming tomorrow. The staff are having dinner together, and the bills are on me. If you don't mind, you can join us." Bryan politely declined, citing his tight schedule.

******

Meanwhile, Elena was getting ready for her date at the logistics club. She put on a black sleeve gown, combed her long blonde hair, and applied a red lip gloss. She checked herself in the mirror and walked to Juliana's room to tell her she was heading out.

Juliana was lying on her bed, playing games on her phone. "I can see you're dressed up nicely. Don't tell me you're heading out," she said, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, I'm meeting someone at a club, and I'll be home late. Don't wait up for me," Elena replied.

"Well, in that case, I'm going with you," Juliana said. "I feel like it's been a long time since I stepped outside, and home will be kinda boring without you here." Elena was shocked. "You ain't deaf; I'm sure you heard what I said. Wait up for me to dress nicely," Juliana said, rushing into the bathroom.

Within a twinkle of an eye, Juliana was back in the room, checking her wardrobe for a dress. "Ana, this is a bad idea. You know how dangerous it is to go out now without a bodyguard," Elena tried to reason with her. Juliana pulled out a pink mini gown and put it on, packing her hair up and tying it with a rubber band. She put on a short golden wig, applied pink lipstick, slipped on golden heels, and finally, sunglasses. Her looks were totally different.

"Baby Elen, let's hit the road, and stop staring at me like that. I know I'm hot already," Juliana said, catwalking out of the room while Elena followed behind her.

*********

Elena P.O.V

As I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out my dress and checking my hair, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves about my date tonight. What if he's not what I expected? What if we don't click? I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the present moment. I was looking forward to meeting him and seeing where things went.

Just as I was about to head out, Juliana suddenly decided to join me. My heart sank. Why did she have to do this? Can't she just let me have one night to myself? I tried to reason with her, but she was determined. I sighed inwardly, wondering how this would affect my date.

As Juliana transformed into a completely different person, donning a wig, sunglasses, and a mini dress, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This was not what I had planned. But at the same time, I had to admit that Juliana's energy was infectious. She always knew how to make an entrance.

I followed her out of the room, wondering what the night had in store for us. Would my date be put off by Juliana's presence? Would we even get a chance to talk? I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the present moment, ready to see how things would.

********

Bryan p.o.v

As I stood frozen, staring at Juliana, my mind went blank. Was this really happening? Was I actually face-to-face with the Juliana? My heart was racing, and my palms were sweating. I couldn't believe my luck.

I've been a huge fan of Juliana's music for years. I've attended her concerts, bought her albums, and even had a poster of her on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager. And now, here she was, standing right in front of me.

I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Her eyes sparkled, and her smile lit up the room. I felt like I was in a dream, and I didn't want to wake up.

But as I handed her the package, I stumbled over my words. "I'm so sorry," I muttered, feeling like a complete idiot. Why did I have to be so awkward?

As I watched her take the package and turn back, I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. I had hoped to talk to her more to learn more about her. But it seemed like that wasn't going to happen.

Or was it? As I looked into her eyes, I saw a glimmer of recognition. Maybe she knew who I was. Maybe she knew I was a fan. The thought sent a thrill through me.

*******

Juliana p.o.v

I was feeling restless, stuck in the same routine day in and day out. I needed a change of scenery, a chance to let loose and have some fun. When Elena told me about her date, I saw an opportunity to break free from my monotony.

I know Elena was hesitant at first, but I could tell she was excited about the prospect of us going out together. I love spending time with her; she's my partner in crime, my confidante. We always have a blast together.

As I got ready, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. I love dressing up, transforming into a different person. It's liberating, you know? I put on my favourite wig, sunglasses, and heels, and suddenly, I felt like a completely different person.

I know Elena's worried about me coming along, but I promise I'll be on my best behaviour. I'll make sure we have a great time and maybe even help her make a connection with her date. Who knows? Maybe we'll even have a wild night.
