{Amelia POV}

" I just can't still believe he did this to me! ".

I leaned back and grabbed my hand over my knee

I wept so hard that I could hardly hear my own voice. I can't believe this is the six time I fell for a loser like Adrian.

My best friend Layla stood next to me at the edge of the chair trying to console me but the shit ain't working.

" baby girl! its not the end of the world, good men will come, better ones" she said

I haven't told her the main reason why am crying so bad, he didn't just cheat on me, he stole from me and fled town. After I caught him the

second time with that slut, we had a big quarrel and I decided to end thing. If only I had not walked out of our apartment during our fight, only to return and find out that he cleared everything I had even our joint bank account. This shit is so fucked up, I felt like one from a stupid movie. I thought he was the one but once again I made the wrong choose.

" Come on, babe chill here for a while" her eyes flashed back sympathy that I really don't need now.

I just needed a drink, something strong maybe I could forget for a while I have no money and an empty apartment

"Let's go to the club. " I said

It got me weird looks from Layla who obviously is not ready to have fun tonight.

She placed her hand on my shoulder as she cuddled me to her embrace.

" Hey, I know this is quick crazy but you got to kill this feeling, going to the club would definitely do the charm but you got to be careful..."

" Yes ma"

I said sadly that she had just made her intention of not going clear.

I grab the first shiny thing, I found in her closet, put it on with no make-up done.

Layla doesn't say much and hardly expresses herself but she does care about me. Telling her that Adrian just scammed me would led to another sympathy look.The truth be told, i don't want to look dumb, definitely not ready for extra sympathy.

I can take care of myself.

When I got to the club, the whole place was jammed, the light boomed so bright but they couldn't take away my problem, a drink would.. A very strong one.

I head to the bartender stand, flashed him a conceiving smile...

" I need something strong "

" Okey, he grab a bottle of whatever he was holding and give me shot that sank fire inside my belle. It send an amazing energy inside my body and made me feel good for few seconds. "Ahas! I need another shot as many as they come". I said to the bartender who just give me an uncanny look.

I am definitely not going home tonight, I couldn't feel my legs, I never notice the bartender, had three heads... Dem! I tried getting up but my legs were stuck to the ground, everything started to get dizzy.

" hello miss are you okey?

I could hear voices but I couldn't see who was speaking, I tried move but I couldn't feel my body anymore. Everything was just rotating, I could feel my body been lifted up but yet I could do nothing. I lost my will to move.


{Louis POV}

"If you don't marry her, I will make your brother, my next successor."

Over my dead body will I let that happen. My mind was filled with my father's warning. All my life, he had planned everything. I can't break down now if I show signs of weakness. He will start messing up with my life like he used to.

I have to marry Nora to keep my place and rightful inheritance. My mother lost her life for this.

" I need a drink! " I thought out loud

My friend Oscar who had been watching me for a while give me a knowing look as we shared eye contact and poured me some scotch.

" Trouble in paradise? ".

"Not one I can't handle" I replied with full confidence. Nora and I had established a good understanding, we know we don't love each other.

Nora keep calling me every now and then. Today she celebrates her bridal shower in Miami. I Just finished a long section of video chatting with her and her friends just to prove I was really with the guys. We made a promise to be sincere and build a good friendship.

" Hey! Check out that girls ass." Sebastian said as a topical American playboy. He left us to go catch his current fantasy.

As the waitress brought more drinks

Oscar drawled my attention to a guy, grabbing a drunk girl out of the bar stand toward a close door.

" hey, that guy might be her boyfriend" I said not wanting to involve myself.

I finally noticed the guy through the VIP lounge window that separates the lounge and the boozing club downstairs, giving the bartender a large tip as he joined the others towards the door.

"He's definitely not her boyfriend,I think they added something to her drink, I think the bartender had a hand in it".

"Wanna play superhero, tonight" Sebastian asked Laughing mockingly behind us with his new Catch who looks intrigue and pleased to be chosen to sit with us.

"Connor, go deal with them" I ordered my boys.

As I walked toward the bar stand to help the young lady up, the drugs in her system had paralyzed her body making it hard for her to stand, she kept mumbling words I could hardly hear

" why can't I find love!?, Nobody wants me".

Oscar chuckles

"Well beauty!, a lot of guys find you in an intrigue position tonight, luckily you were not made a snacks"

she looked so small and pitiful in this state.

I carried her to my Luxurious VIP suit, she would be marveled when she wakes up. I called the hotel doctor to check her body in case of drug overdose and any toxic harmful substance.

"When she wakes up, make sure she gives you a thank you for saving me sex" Sebastian teased me since he knew that will never happen.

" Get lost, you monkeys"

Sebastian kept tease about enjoy myself for the last time since I would be a married man soon.

As I placed her on the bed. I leaned forward for the first time, I took full notice of her long legs, long glossy chestnut hair and pink plump lips which was quite seductive even without any make-up . Indeed she was a beauty as I watch her sleep like a baby with no fear of anything in the world.

My heart ceased for a couple of breaths, what would have happened to her if we haven't arrived. I felt so protective for a stranger. She looks quite younger now as I tried to look for her ID , I got interrupted but a phone call. I grab my phone, it was Oscar whom I just left not quit long ago.

" hey... What's up? "

" Something just happens to Nora, she was found in her own pile of blood "

"What...? How,. No!,"

I was so disoriented without any idea what just happen....

" Louis! Are you there? " he called

"Yes, just book me a flight back home.
