CHAPTER 1

Anna's POV

My phone jarred me out of my sound sleep, I grumbled as I cover my ears with my fluffy pillow but it kept ringing.

I gave the bed covers an irritated jerk and I checked the caller, I let out a sigh while I stretched and settle into my pillow was Roxanne, Eric kid sister.

I just rolled my eyes wondering why she is calling me and how she even have my number in the first place. For a young girl like her she is awfully mean to everyone.

I sighs and answers it.

"About time you answered! I have been calling you, I tried your sister number but the stupid lame ass phone went straight to voicemail!" She yelled making me winced.

"Oh I think her phone died. What do you want? And why are you calling me early in the morning?" I asked ungraciously.

"Early in the morning?? this is 9:43am," She yelled.

I shot up peering at the red numbers on the digital clock and I ran my hand through my head.

"Ohh"

"I don't have time but I just want you to know that if anything happen to my brother then I will kill you" She yelled but I didn't say anything.

Eric is my best buddy and I do like him a lot because he always keeps me company whenever I am down, even though after I drop out from school, he never fail to always stick next to me.

"He is going to Los Angeles very soon" Roxanne yelled.

"Why is he going there?"

"Just know that if anything happen to him, I will kill you cos he is going to there for plastic surgery" She said and I hang up.

" Eric?? Plastic surgery??" I thought...Yes, I know Eric do feel insecure about his looks because so many students do bully him calling him names that he is ugly but is it true that he is going to Los Angeles for plastic surgery or is Roxanne trying to play some kind of prank.

I got up and went out to meet my mom, I was really hungry. Just then I bumped into Mimi my sister. Mimi is three years younger than me and she can't speak, she has been mute from birth, even though many people do make fun of her, she did not care, I wonder how hard it must have been for her.

She glared at me and walk away.

"Hey, I am your elder sister, you shouldn't be glaring at me like that" I shouted, suddenly my mom approach me and grabbed my right earlobe and led me quickly into the store.

"Haha, mom it hurt" I yelled and she released me.

"Why did you wake up late?? Why are you not going to work?? My mom asked but I just kept mute while rubbing my ear.

"Ohh, don't tell me they've fired you" My mom asked.

"Mom, the manager was so cruel and mean to me, he makes me work for two hours non stop, so.. So.. So.. I quit" I said with a pout looking down at my feet.

"Anna,this is going to be 13th job. You lazy asshole, can't you just be like your sister for once, she always help me in the restaurant but as for you, all you do is to press phone and eat" My mom yelled.

"Mom, stop comparing me to Mimi.." I yelled back.

"Oh my goodness!! You're really useless to me, you can't cook, you can't work, due to your laziness, you dropped out of school, who is going to marry you?? Who?? You just get yourself a dumb rich guy, useless brat" My mom hissed and walk away.

"Mom I am hungry" I yelled but she didn't answer.

All what she said doesn't matter or mean anything to me, the only thing that caught my attention was"get yourself a dumb rich guy". I am a beautiful girl so who wouldn't like a girl like a me.

I quickly brought out my phone and start looking at the latest trend, just then I went to Wechat , there are so many messages in the group I was.

256 messages??"

"What are they all talking about?? I thought then I start checking the messages.

... So C.J is a gay ...

... Even if he is a gay, that doesn't stop him from being my idol ...

... C. J is a gay oh em gee ...

... No wonder he is never seen with any girl ...

... that is none of your business if he is a gay or not ...

I kept strolling down and all the messages was C. J being a gay, I hissed and went to Instagram.

Only God know who C.J is?

Author's POV

CJ was in his father's office, everywhere was silent and he was feeling quite uncomfortable.

"Dad, you called me?? Hope there is no problem?? He asked trying to break the silence that has engulfed them but his father didn't say anything.

"Dad.. If it about the rumors spreading all around, you shouldn't take it serious because...”

"Jaxon." His father yelled in furious and stood up"so I should not take the rumor serious when it is affecting my company and your mother's business?? Huh??”.

"Dad it is also affecting the music industry and it is affecting me too" CJ said trying to defend himself.

"You being a gay is the cause of everything"

'Dad I am not a gay, believe me.. I don't really know how the rumors circulate like that" CJ said.

"How do you want me to believe you're not a gay?? Can you prove it?? Your mother and I should have take notice because since when you're young, you've been shy to talk to girls and during your middle school to high school, you never dated a girl and we've never seen you around a girl and how do want me not to believe you're gay??” His father said.

"Dad, for God's sake, drop it, you're blowing this thing all out of proportion"

"Jaxon,I won't allow your dirty little secret ruin my business, my company and my reputation in the society.. I won't, that is why I and your mother finally agree to the conclusion of an arranged marriage" His father said and CJ shot him a glance.

"Dad, you must be kidding.. An arranged marriage?? Like seriously?? I will never ever agree to your idea.. I am just 21"

"That doesn't matter, you're our son and we want the best thing for you and no one is going to change our decision, the only thing you can do is to prove to everyone that you're not a gay or else within one month, you will be forced to Marry" His father said and CJ angrily stood up.

"Dad, you're unbelievable" He said angrily and went out, he called his friend who was living some meters away that he is coming to see him.
