Chapter 3

I don’t know what to do; they ruined my dress. My top was wet because of that ice cream, my face, and my jeans too. Wiping my tears, I went to the washroom and cleaned myself. I heard someone else coming inside,

“Hey, Ven,” beth came to me and hugged me, she asked,

“What happened? Who did this?"

I started crying again.

“It's Remond and his friends?" she asked while wiping my tears.

“Stop crying V, Can you tell me what happened back there,“

I told her everything.

She was fuming with anger after listening to me. “Fucking asshole, come on, let’s go, we’ll have some coffee come, stop crying,“she consoled me.

She took me to the cafe, We ordered some coffee.

After a few minutes, the waiter brought coffee to our table. We started talking about classes. Then Aron Norwood entered the cafe, as he owns it.

Aron Norwood,

He’s from the most powerful family the Norwood’s, And heir to the biggest banks in the state, Shopping malls, and hotels. He was considered the hottest guy in our school. He is talented, outgoing, arrogant, and a playboy. And was one of Remond’s friends too, one of the four, I trained my eyes on Aron.

He was holding a bevy of girls giggling and chuckling at something they said. He was there when they bullied me. I was busy cursing and glaring at him, but I didn’t notice. He was looking at me with that arrogant smirk on his face.

Out of frustration, I shot him a deadly Glare.

I fucking hate Remond and all his friends.

Assholes.

“Let’s go Beth; I’ll be late for work,”

I said.

And then we left the cafeteria.

I was going back to school to take my bag from the locker.

I reached my locker.

Took all my things, I was just about to text Beth, When someone grabbed me by the waist and hauled me off, half carrying and half dragging me with him.

I was shocked and speechless. The next thing I knew, I was in an empty classroom with a guy.

Curiously I looked up and saw a very familiar brown hair -smirking- stupid face which made my blood boil.

Remond gray

I stepped away from him.

“You,“ I shrieked angrily.

“Happy to see me?“he announced with an overconfident tone.

“What do you want?“

“I was just wondering that how does this,” pointing at his hand “looks on your face,“

He said, showing me chocolate pastry in his hand. He leaned closer with a teasing look on his face. I was just glaring at him, He then took that pastry, and rubbed it all over my face.

I was too shocked to react; I stood there like a statue.

He started laughing at me,

“Hahaha... you look so adorable,” he said, laughing historically.

After a few seconds, he composed himself, Then he leaned over, began to lick that cake off my face.

I couldn’t control myself; I pushed past him and Storm out of that empty classroom.I ran to the washroom and started to clean my face, tears were streaming down my cheeks.

I couldn’t control myself at all.I walked towards the street. There was a park a little far from our school, it’s peacefully there.

so, I went there. I Sat down on a bench.

There I saw kids playing with their parents. I Couldn’t control myself anymore, I started crying silently there. remembering my parents.

I miss them a lot. There wasn’t a day that went well without them. After they had left me, I was broken. I was a loner, I just talked to my friends, that's it.

I stay alone.

I like to be alone.

Tears were flowing from my eyes.

I didn’t notice that someone was sitting beside me.I turned my head.A man was sitting there with a handkerchief in his hand.

He looked at me.

It's him!!!.

That stranger at the restaurant, where I sang.

“Take it,” he said with his deep sexy voice.

Hesitatingly, I took that handkerchief from his hand and wiped my tears.

Dressed in dark clothes with dark hair and a handsome face with a dark stare, he was both riveting and frightening.

We both were looking each other in the eye.

“Who are you?“ I asked, still not breaking our eye contact.

He didn’t say anything.

After a few seconds, he stood up, kissed me on my forehead and started to leave.

I silently watched him retreating in his black Lamborghini.

He’s got this intimidating personality, Everything about him was dark and Powerful.

I feel like I can just sit there, watch him the whole day.

Suddenly My phone started Ringing.

I see Beth’s calling,

“Where are you even? I’m waiting for you here.“

Shoot.

I forget about her.

Fuck

“Coming, coming“

Chapter 4

Vanessa's POV.

With that, I hung up and ran towards the parking lot at school. We both bid goodbyes and I drove, I reached my home, parked my car, went inside, and put my car keys on the hanger. I have to go to work, So, I took some rest.

****

After some time my alarm started Ringing, waking me up. It’s 5: 30 now. I ran towards my bathroom. I got ready in just 20 min, Took my car keys, locked my house, and drove. I work at f’s restaurant as a waiter there. I get a decent salary. My house was under my dad after he died, and it was transferred to my name.

Sometimes grandma sends me money, but I never accept it. Still, she puts it in my bank account. I just let it be there; I never took a penny from it. I like to be independent; I don’t want to be a burden to my grandma, so I work for myself.

I reached the restaurant, parked my car, and went inside. I changed my clothes.

“Hey v“ it’s Kim, my coworker.

Kim Remmington,

He’s kind, talented, and Sporty. He’s 6 feet tall, brown hair, blue eyes, very attractive and very popular among girls. He has this charming personality always smiling and kind towards others.

“Hi, Kim“

“What happened, you look weak, “he asked with concern in his blue eyes.

“Nothing, just school stress,“

“Don’t stress so much v?“he said, out of concern.

“Vanessa... stop chatting and come here, please“ It’s our manager, Mr black.

“Yes, Mr black “

“Take orders from table no 8,“ he said,

“Ok“ I walked towards that table, I see four people, two boys, and two girls, talking to each other. I reached there,

“Your order please, “I asked smiling.

After seeing who they are, my face dropped. It’s Them!!! Aron and Remand with Two girls never saw them before.

Fuck my life. Why does this happen to me all the time?

“Look!!! Who did we get here guys,“ Remand said.

Looking at me like I am his new puppy. I said nothing. I stood there watching them. Aron was looking at me with something in his eyes. I can’t understand, why he was looking at me like that, It was like he wants to say something but he can’t.

“Who’s this Rey, do you know her?“ A girl sitting beside him asked with curiosity.

“Yes, she is Vanessa foster, my schoolmate.“ Coming towards me, wrapped hands around me, and said,

“She is my favorite girl in school“Remand said, looking at me.

I took his hands off me and moved aside slowly. My action shocked him.

“Your order please, “I asked them politely.

Aron gave me his order first, then all of them gave it one by one I gave it to Kim.

Staring at me, he asked, “what happened on v“

Looking down, “I don’t want to go back there,“ I said, Glancing at that table he said.

“Okay, Ashley! Can you take this to table 8?” he asked.

“Okay, no problem,“ she said.

She took that order with her, I was helping Kim here. Then Ashley came back to me,

"They’re asking you v, please go there,“ she said. Kim looked at me,

“If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll go there and tell you aren’t available ok."

“No no, it’s ok, I’ll go,“ I assured him.

I walked back to table 8, Quietly, I started serving them. Suddenly Remand pushed my hand, The soup bowl slipped from my hand and fell all over the table and on Remand’s t-shirt, I started apologizing to him.

“What the fuck! You ruined my t-shirt. “ He shouted, without listening to me.

“Call your manager, right now,“ He shouted.

Mr black ran towards us, I was scared for my job. He started complaining about me to Mr. Black.

Mr. Black with so much difficulty cooled the situation down. After cooling everything, he called me to his cabin. He started explaining to me that they are rich kids and regular to this restaurant. Remand came into the cabin, while Mr. Black’s speech.

“Mr black, I don’t want this girl in here. Next time when I came here. I should not see her here or else you have to face the consequences. “ Saying that he left the cabin.

“I’m sorry Vanessa; you're fired please leave.“ Mr. Black said with a sad expression. I didn’t say anything. I just nodded and left.

Tears were flowing through my eyes. I changed my clothes took my car keys and came outside. There I saw Remand walking towards his car alone. I ran towards him. I pulled him back and gave a hard slap on his face.

He was shocked by my action, “What’s your problem hah! Why do you hate me so much, what did I ever do to you? “ I asked him.

“You are a monster!!!” I shouted, crying.

He wasn’t saying anything; he was just looking at me. There was something in his eyes I can’t understand, Is it pity or his feeling sorry for me what was it? Angry tears were flowing through my eyes, “Say something, you asshole,“ I shouted.

I was crying hard, “you are a monster; I hate you“ With that, I left him there and walked towards my car and left that place.

Chapter 5

Lorenzo's p.o.v.

I was the world's most successful multi-billionaire ruthless businessman. I was my family's golden son. There was nothing in this World that I couldn't have. I was a mafia leader to a very powerful and ruthless Italian Mafia group. Things run in Los Angeles according to my will. People suffer if they go against me. I want everything to run in my way. This City is mine, and I own half of the city. I'm the king of this city, and I'll always be.

Sitting in my expensive car. I was seeing her coming from school. She is adorable, naive and simple. She wasn't like that whore's I fuck. There was innocence in her eyes. I want her, I need her to be mine. I started following her. She was walking towards the park, As I was seeing her, She sat on a bench brooding over something.

All of a sudden she started crying, crying really hard, I couldn't see her crying like that. I moved to her and sat beside her and took my handkerchief. She didn't notice me at all.

After a few seconds,

Finally, she noticed me. She was so damn cute while she was crying, She was clearly puzzled to see me there. I gave her my handkerchief; she accepted it and wiped her tears. I was watching her; Everything about her was like a drug to me. The way she sang that day with full of passion was so beautiful.

Her angelic voice made me so hard, Her expressions and those gestures she does with those little hands oh god, I crave to use those hands right then and there. She poured all her emotions in that song.

It's very difficult for me to control myself looking at her singing like that. She is an angel; I want to make her mine. Mine To love, only mine. All mine. I'll do everything to make you mine.

Anything.

Looking into my eyes, she demanded " Who are you? " I didn't say anything.

You'll know soon, my kitten.

I thought to myself and stood up, kissed her on the forehead and left. After reaching my office, I called Seth Collins, my best buddy and partner in crime.

I told him to watch her and give updates. When I first saw her in that restaurant getting inside and waiting for someone. I couldn't take my eyes off her, I asked Seth to find everything about her. Later I saw her hugging her friend, I felt Fucking jealous.

I desperately need her undivided attention. I want to kill him right now, Seeing my actions Mr wang was confused. I didn't realize that I was gripping the glass of water.

"Mr. Francisco, are you ok?"

"I'm fine, continue," I said.

He was scared of me so; he obeyed me. After that meeting, I went to my mansion. I called Mr.Cent for the meeting.

***

"I want no mistake in this or else I'll make you pay don't disappoint me"

"Yes, sir" with that, he left.

"You'll be mine, soon my little kitten very soon, Mine"

 Vanessa's Pov:-

I crossed my right leg over my left one Glancing at the clock which told me I'd been sitting here for an hour. Clutching my file with my hands waiting for my turn.

***Back to the day when I got fired***

After reaching my home, I parked my car and opened the door. I walked to the kitchen and had a glass of water and relaxed my nerves.

I sat down on my couch looking at the ceiling thinking about what to do.

I have to find a job as soon as possible if my grandmother came to know my situation she will definitely send me her money even if I say no,

With, I took a newspaper which was on my table and started searching for a job advertisement.

After 2 Fucking hours

Fuck.. arghI pulled my hair in frustration.

Then I noticed there was an advertisement there.

At present

I looked at people waiting for their turn, There were at least 20 people.

After a few minutes CEO's doors opened, A blonde woman came outside crying her eyes out her mascara was running down a thin line of black streams while her eyes were bloodshot. Without saying anything she exited.

"Number 27, Miss foster Mr. Francesco will see you now, "the lady at the recipient said in a monotone.

My heart started thumping as I slowly stood up, trying myself to look graceful I clutched my file to my chest and slowly walked towards the wooden door,

My heart humming against my ribcage.

I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door and entered Mr. Francesco's office.

It was beautiful the interior was fancy and looked expensive there two white couches one was placed in front of a huge floor to the ceiling glass window and the other across it and a glass table between them.

To my right, there was a desk on which files and office supplies neatly placed and with a big black swivel chair behind it.

Against the wall, there were large cabinets made out of dark woods and a few potted plants placed expertly in the room completed the look.

Sitting on the couch across the wall was a man wearing a very expensive black Armani suit

His features were dark and intimidating.

He had a sharp jawline, pointed nose, jet black hair, kissable lips.

He was very handsome and a bit intimidating.

He looked deadly, ready to strike anyone, he was a bit familiar to me. However, I have no clue how.

"Sit down, I don't have much time, " he said with a rough deep voice.

I flinched by his voice, It was a bit rude too.

I quickly sat down across the couch and gave my file he took it without glancing at me.

He was scanning my file without void emotions,

"You're a student, " he said,

" Y-y yes " I shuttered,

"Why do uh want this job?" He asked, still not looking at me.

"Sir, I am a high school student I work on a daily basis so that I can live without depending on my grandmother, I really need the job so that I could live "

He didn't say anything still checking my file,

"Your academic Marks are good, however, I gave funds to your school. It's one of my properties. I will give a scholarship to you if you work hard " he said,

I thought to myself.

"You got the job, report shortly at Monday 5:30 pm "

I thanked him.

I was about to get up he looked at me I looked into his eyes, As thunderbolt hit me, I sat still like a statue.

I recognized him,

He was the same guy from that restaurant and park.

I Didn't show that recognition On my face, He didn't show it either.

We looked at each other for a few more minutes and I broke the staring contest by turning my head.

I was a bit scared to look at him, Man, he was scary, not my mistake.

"You can leave,' he said, in his harsh voice.

I quickly turned to leave,

"Wait, go to the reception and tell her to give the file take it and read it carefully"

"And...I don't like people who are irresponsible" he said, with a deadly Glare, I was literally shaking to look at him.

I gulped and nodded. I turned to the door, opened it, and stepped out of the office. I released the breath I'd been holding, I looked back at the office once and started walking towards the reception and took the file from the receptionist, and went back to my home.
