Both of them continued glaring at each other and didnt notice the driver pull the cover down.
" Ex-excuse me."
The two snapped their heads, and glared back at the driver which made him startle. " What?"
" Miss.lennon..." he asked with trembling voice, " Are you dropping at Mr.Brents or your apartment?"
" My apartment of course." she replied in a flat voice.
The driver nodded and pulled up the cover quickly, starting the engine.
" Why dont you drop by mine?" Brent loosened his facial features. He leaned back on the seat.
Wish rolled her eyes, " So that i can sleep in the room beside yours and hear you having sex with some other woman??"
Brent got taken aback for a minute but smirked, " How about you take the other woman's place?" smirking he looked back at the girl.
Her eyes were wide, probably not expecting such a reply, clearing her throat, " You really wish." In the dark, she prayed he didnt notice her ears going red.
" We'll be living together anyways in a few days." his tone was confident.
Wish tightened her fist and whispered lowly, " Who said we were going to marry..."
" Huh??" Brent asked hearing her mumbles.
She shook her head and in a few minutes, they reached her apartment.
" Sleep tight, sweetheart." he mockingly said once she got out of the car.
" Sure....you too." she faked a smile which was gone right after.

After finally reaching her place, she instantly laid down on the huge bed. Sighing loudly, she stared at the blank ceiling going through everything that happened today. Everyday was an adventure. But the type which you didnt want to try.
Her eyes felt heavy and she closed for a minute when a notification disturbed her. The phone lit up showing a message on whatsapp.
When she opened, it was from.....Caleb Drew??
Caleb_D : Hey...
Caleb_D : i tried finding you in other social medias but you werent anywhere??
Caleb_D : and found this finally.
Wish stared the message in disbelief. How did he even find her whatsapp?? Also, she wasnt active on any other social media as it was not her thing. Just what did he want from her.
Wish97 : how did you find this?
Caleb_D : coincidentally :D
She scrunched her brows.
Wish97 : You do know you look like a creep finding my whatsapp and messaging me like this right?
He didnt reply to this instantly. She decided to check his profile. As she had suspected, he was interested in music. In his profile picture, he was carrying a guitar in his back, his hair ruffled unlike today with his expression lazy and laid back. This guy surely didnt look like he belonged to an elite family.
Caleb_D : i know....but i still wanted to be friends :)
His message showed up. Friends? but they met only today.
Wish97 : okay.
Caleb_D : yayy :D
The recent message cringed her. Why did he type like that?
Caleb_D : so what are you doing?
Caleb_D : i really wish you had instagram.
Caleb_D : isnt it boring without it?
Wish sighed at his continuous message. He really liked spamming which she thought was annoying. Also, there was no time for her to even use instagram and other things so why would she be bored?
Wish97 : im going to sleep. Nights.
She slammed her phone down at the table, instantly closing her eyes. Few vibrations came from her phone but she ignored it. In just few minutes, she dozed off into her dream.

The next morning, Brent arrived at the office early in the morning. His secretary showed him the current shares of the company.
" The shares have increased by 65% since last week." his secretary explained passing him the files.
After they had announced his marriage with Wish Lennon, the shares had been increasing by a lot. It was obviously a good thing for the company. It brought more investors.
But looking at the files, something just didnt look right. He continued staring at it intently but nothing seemed to be off.
Even just the announcement brought so many investors and after their marriage, it was gonna be doubled. He tried thinking about the positive sides ignoring the weird feeling.
Just then, his father entered the office. The secretary bowed and left them two alone.
" Son, you seem to be working hard today as well." he walked to him.
" No, i had to check the shares." Brent put the files down. His father always told him to take it easy but being the top company's heir wasnt easy.
" You must be tired from yesterday's party."
Brent shook his head slowly. He was obviously tired as so much thing happened in just one night.
" Are you going well with Miss.Lennon." his father smiled expectantly, " or should i say my future daughter-in-law?"
" Uhh....yeah okay i guess..." he avoided eye contact. " You dont have to worry."
His father chuckled, " Well then...why havent you brought her over?"
Brent snapped his head, to see his father smiling, " Its okay...you are gonna meet after few days anyways."
" It is different, son." his father spoke, " To meet before the wedding is still important."
Brent sighed heavily, " We didnt meet before you arranged our marriage too."
His father became surprised, " It was still for your sake. All the proposal and arrangement. To make your future position stable" Brent looked the other way. " Why? Are you still upset about it?"
" No, father....i just..."
" Then stop comparing these two situations." his father cut him.
Brent couldnt say anything about it and sighed giving up, " Okay, ill invite her in a few days."
" In a few day? just call her tomorrow night." his father ordered him. Brent couldnt say no so he nodded slowly.
" Tomorrow night it is then."

Lisa sat on a chair by the bar. It was her favourite bar of the town. This bar was pretty normal meaning no elite family members came here. She got to enjoy herself without anybody judging here which was only once in a while.
" Anything new, lisa?" the bartender, Ray asked putting down her usual drink.
She rested her chin on her hands and smiled at him, " i have my eyes on somebody. Shes gonna be my new target."
Ray chuckled at her, " So, another life is going to be ruined huh?"
Lisa smirked, swirling her drink, " Yes and its going to be the worst."
" Who is it? seems like somebody you despise...." Ray seemed interested.
" Yes, you're correct. Somebody that i absolutely despise."
A person called for Ray and he left tapping her shoulders. Meanwhile, she opened her phone and continued the video she was watching earlier. It was the video from last night, where Brent punched Chris. The video was posted yesterday on one of the online forums titled, " William Brent jealous of a guy hitting on his fiancée?" and it had gone viral within a night.
She scoffed at the video especially when he pulled Wish away from the crowd. " He isnt jealous....he just wants everyone to think they are in love." she had commented under the video. Few people seemed to agree with her.
But there was still a top comment and it wrote " I dont care what yall say but they look like a perfect couple to me."
Lisa couldnt stand seeing these comments. Instead of bashing Wish for being a slut, they were praising the couple?? How much stupid could people get than this?
Lisa angrily sipped her drink when a figure sat beside her. She faced the person and slowly smiled after seeing her.
" Thanks for coming."
" Of course! its my pleasure." Rheanna smiled with her red lips.
