Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

Ciara’s POV

Fate!!!Fate!!!Fate!!!Who did I offend???

Why did I have to fall on this guy’s arms???? You know I can’t stand him or even like him as a human being…Fate you are a disappointment.

“If you don’t know how to walk in heels, don’t wear them…” He teased…

“I am sure you tripped me…” I raged..

“I rather kiss all the girls in this room than even hold you…” He said coldly…

“Then why did you hold me???” I glared at him angrily… I was losing patience with this man

. Off late the only agenda he had in life was to belittle me or make my life horrible…

A respected CEO like him going around making an innocent girl’s life a nightmare….What a loser…

“Do you want me to drop you???” He asked softly and like a fool I nodded…

“I rather fall than be in your arms…” And the arrogant man dropped me acting like nothing had happened…

For a moment I thought he was a real man and wouldn’t do something like that and so I tried pulling his leg…Poor me, my butt was numb but still on fire….

I could see sympathy drawn on some people’s faces while others were trying so hard to control their laughter…..Thanks heavens only few people were inside the ballroom..

“Are you okay???” Sebastian asked while him and Mason lifted me up…

“Sorry, you slipped out of my hand…” Jordan faked a concern, “Hope you have no broken bones…”

“F-ck you dude, you literally dropped me…” I sneered my expression filled with frustration…

“We are officially enemies, Jordan Marcias…” I whispered at him before Mason accompanied me to the washroom…

But that nigga didn’t even look apologetic, his eyes were lighting up with mischief…

I really hate him….

As we walked to the bathroom, I could notice girls ogling at Mason…He had worn a black blazer, white V-neck shirt, a pair of rugged skinny jeans complimented with suede desert boots… He look different but hot…

“Are you seriously going to take me inside the ladies’ washroom???”

“Yup..” He shrugged and opened the door to the ladies’ room…

I expected girls to push him out but there they were taking selfies with him and he seemed to be comfortable with the attention…

“Are you okay???” He asked when it seemed I was done with the retouch of makeup…

“I guess so…”

“Excuse me ladies but my bff is done so I have to go….” Mason stated and all girls begun pleading for him to stay a little bit more only for him to hold my hand and walk me out of there…

Some old ladies had the nerve to sneer when they saw him come out of the ladies’ washroom but he didn’t care….

“Mason, go have some fun

. I will be fine…”

“You sure???”

I nodded…

“Okay, take care…” He kissed me on the cheek and went to mingle with other guests…

Just when I thought I could finally breathe, some cheap lousy bloggers came and stood beside me…

“Ciara, why is your boyfriend dancing with another girl???” One of them asked…

“Don’t tell me he dumped you???? This is hot gossip…” The other one giggled…

“You wanna know what yes he dumped me, any problem??? That b-tch is pregnant and I don’t give a sh-t about it…Screw you cheap bloggers, write what you want. I don’t care…” I spoke in a raw harsh voice…

“So any other question???”

“We are so…..” One of them tried to act sympathetic but I was done with people butt rubbing my face…

“Oooh please!!!! Quit the pretence before I shove that champagne glass you are holding down your throat…”

The two of them trembled at the thought of that and walked out of my sight as fast as their legs could carry them…

A sweet melody begun drifting through the atmosphere making the place less unbearable… I looked around for Jaxon but he was busy laughing and talking with everyone apart from me….

“Hey, a sad night…” Kendi Joy stood beside me…

“Tell me about it..” I gulped down another glass of champagne…

Yes I would have been excited to chitchat with her but too bad my mood was already ruined or was it????

“Jordan Marcias is a very arrogant man, trust me and a more arrogant man as a boyfriend…”

Suddenly my mood lit up, I always thought Kendi Joy and Jordan Marcias dating was a rumour so it was true… Now I was ready to listen to this juicy gossip…

“I know you have heard the rumours about me and him dating they were true…But he loves making girls feel inferior, he thinks they can be bought with money. Oooh!!! I hate this man…”

Fate it seems you didn’t forget about me…Finally I have a girl who despises Jordan as much as I do… My fashion Icon..

“I would do anything to get back at him…” The words slipped out of my mouth unguarded..

“That’s very wrong…”

“What???” I guess I had messed up and said alot to the wrong person…

“That’s very wrong and I love it…”

Phewks!!! I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand in my mind..

. She really got me there…

“Here..” She gave me her business card again, “We can have coffee sometime…”

Before we could chitchat more, some ladies wanted to take some photos with her while Sebastian pulled me aside…

“Yes Seb???”

“What’s happening Kims, why is David with her???” I felt the concern in his voice…

I sighed,” It seems I was the sidechic Seb. That girl is pregnant my guy…” I could feel tears burn behind my eyes…

“Sorry Kims.” He placed his hands on my shoulders, “You don’t have to stay if you don’t want to..”

“No, I wanna stay…And the fashion show was amazing. I loved every detail…”

“Coming from you, it means alot…I have to attend to the other guests call me when you need anything…”

I nodded and he hugged me before walking away…

I took another glass of champagne from the waiter and before I could gulped it down, some three girls who think we are friends walked towards me…

“I am sorry sissy, I heard what David did. It’s very wrong. How could he impregnate another woman???” One of them faked a sob..

“How are you feeling??? Are you okay???” Another one placed her hand on my forehead to feel if I was fine…

Like c’mon how is a fever related to a heartbreak????

“We are here for you Ciara, we love you bestie….”

I would rather spend the rest of the night staring at the crystal chandeliers spiraled down from the arching sky-blue ceiling illuminating the glimmering golden walls and a floor so polished it looked like an ice-over lake than to talk with these gossipers…

Stupid gossip. Stupid lame people who gossip. Damn!!! I hated the fame…

If hearing them chatter wasn’t worse, I had to persevere their accompanying wafts of rose, hyacinth and Jasmine….

“Girls, I know where to find you when I need you. It not like I am on my deathbed so if you don’t mind, walk away… I need to think…”

When they walked away from me, murmuring God knows what. I gulped down several glasses of champagne looking at Jaxon who apparently was looking at me…

His eyes ignited something inside me like a blazing fire… He smiled at me and begun walking towards me when I suddenly saw David standing infront of me….

When I looked for Jaxon over David’s shoulder, he was no longer standing there….Where did he go??? Why can’t anything go well in this party for once???

“Ciara, can we talk???”
