CHAPTER 1

Andre's POV

"It's over between us, Clarice "l stated in a hoarse voice and sipped a bit of oolong tea.

The California blonde hair girl, Clarice and also my girlfriend who's going to be my ex girlfriend any time from now, smiled and began tapping her palms against the hard chestnut table.

I have to do this, l am sick and tired of her. She's getting annoying by the day and l just feel like ending things with her. Besides, l never took this relationship serious. In fact, l never took any of my relationships serious.

It's just how l am. A playboy!

"You're joking. Please tell me you are joking. You are, right? "She asked, pain glistening in her hazel eyes.

"I'm not joking. I don't joke "l said, icily and stood up, adjusting my tie. She stood up as well.

"Why, Andre? We've been a couple for just a week, huh? I love you so much please do not do this to me "she cried out and l looked away, rolling my eyes. She knelt down and held my feet. I flinched and moved away.

"Get off me, bitch. I don't love you anymore so f*ck off! Jeez! "I yelled with sarcasm and stormed out of her house.

I could hear her sobbing profusely from inside and huffed, putting on my shades.

That's it!...Women and their tantrums!!! .. They can't seem to take a breakup lightly!!..

Just then, my phone started ringing and when l checked, it was Fiona - my personal assistant.

?Hey Fiona, what's up? ?I said as l headed for my car.

? Good morning sir. There's an intern here and she's causing a commotion in the office because you're not here to attend to her ? Fiona responded, obviously stressed and l rolled my eyes.

? Can this day get any better? Alright then, I'll be there in a jiffy ?I replied and ended the call.

Duty calls! I stepped into my car and drove out of that vicinity - Clarice's house.

Ava's POV

"It's been hours since l arrived here. Where is the hell is your f*cking boss??? "I yelled, furiously. This is outrageous!

"Madam, please stay calm. He will be .. "A lady reassured me but l was sick of hearing that line over and over again.

"Screw that missy! Do you have any idea who l am, huh? Do you? Hmm, l guess you don't. I can get this company sued for wasting my precious time "

"I just decided to get a job in this company for the meantime. Just you wait and see what l do, l will get my Dad .. "

"And do you know l can get you arrested for causing a commotion in my company? "I heard from behind me and turned to see a brawny guy but he sure didn't sound like a loafer.

His good looks and abs visible from his shirt sent shivers down my spine and l gulped down nothing. But l won't let my guard down just yet.

I tried to hide my fear and walked closer to him, gracefully.

"Where have you been, Mister? Screwing some bitches, huh? "I asked, dramatically moving my head.

"He's the CEO, l'm sure about that "

"That's none of your f*cking business. You know what? Get out "he grouched and l frowned deeply. "Get out right this minute!! "He thundered and l grunted and began walking out.

"B**ch "I heard him say.

"F*ck you a**hole "I yelped and showed him my middle finger before walking out, finally.

I got outside and entered my car and drove out of the compound. If only it didn't transpire in his company, l would have given him a piece of my mind.

What a spoilt brat he is!

I got home and sunk into the sofa. I scoffed as l remembered the argument that issued between me and that guy.

He called me a bitch. Just he wait and see what l do to him.

Gosh! Not like l can do anything anyways. I sighed heavily.

I remembered Ryan and took my phone to give him a call and tell him all that happened when Mom and Dad showed up and l rolled my eyes.

I stylishly kept the phone back . Actually, Ryan is my boyfriend but Mom and Dad never approved our relationship.

"Ava, you are back? "Mom asked as they settled on the couch.

"Yes "I nodded with a smile.

"Did you get the job? "

"No, l didn't get the job "I replied.

"I knew you wouldn't get it and you look like someone who got into a fight "Dad said and I itched the nape of my neck.

"Of course not, Daddy. It's not what it seems like "I lied, smoothly and he nodded.

Silence stepped in and I noticed Mom and Dad exchange nervous looks and l furrowed my brows.

"What are they up to? Seems they are hiding something from me "

"Umm .. Ava? "Mom broke the silence, nervously. Well, it was obvious on her face.

"Someone sent you a wedding proposal "She chipped in and l narrowed my eyes at them.

"And? "I snarled and they looked at each other again.

"We accepted "Dad let out, this time around and l gasped, loudly.

"What the heck, Dad? Why would you accept a wedding proposal in my absence? "I spranged up and yelled, lividly.

They stood up too. This is totally crazy. I don't want to marry a stranger, l only want Ryan.

"Calm down, Ava. I bet you are gonna like him when you see him "Mom said and came forward to show me his photo.

I scoffed. "You've got to be kidding me, Mom and Dad. There's no way I'm getting married to that douchebag! No fucking way! "I deadpanned and stomped upstairs.

"Ava? Ava? "Mom called out to me but l ignored, totally.

Andre's POV

I slumped down onto the sofa in the spacious living room. It's been such a long day. My mind drifted to the argument l had with that lady earlier today.

I'm not gonna lie but she had a really great shape. Fvck! Mere thinking of her physique made me have some movement in my pants. She's so perfect but not in character.

She's literally crazy.

I need a head! I took my phone and was about to call one of my b**chest when Dad showed up. I gasped and dropped my phone, quickly.

He had a cynical look on. Oh oh, that look. I know that look, he's definitely here to start up the wife issue and l'm so not in for that.

I'm so sick and tired of that conversation .. can't he let me live my life the way l want, huh?

"It's up to two weeks now and you haven't brought home a wife like you said you would "he started and l rubbed my temples.

With all these tantrums .. I might go bananas any moment from now.

"Well, l've got no other option than to choose a wife for you and l've found one "he paused and l looked up at him at once.

"She has also accepted your wedding proposal .. "

"But Dad .. "I tried to say but he restricted me by waving his palm.

"You would like to know the girl, right? Well, here she is "He said and took the projector remote control and switched on the projector .

A girl's photo appeared and l scoffed. "There's no way l'm getting married to that wench! "I yelled and walked to my room.
