Chapter 1

Serena Cesantio 1,5 year ago.. I opened my eyes slowly and rubbed it to make me get into my sense. I slowly sat up on the bed and turned my head to the left. I saw Caleb still sleeping and I took my phone from my table beside my bed. I checked the clock and put my phone back on the table. "Get up!" I smacked his bareback and he slowly moved in his sleep. "Caleb! Wake up!" I hissed as I poked him hard. "Let me sleep, woman!" "It's 10, idiot. Get up before your dad tracks you up." I said and I got up from the bed naked walking towards the bathroom. I took a shower quickly and dried myself quickly because I don't have time to chill around. I walked out from the bathroom only in my towel and then I saw Caleb already wake up. He's currently playing with his phone and I just walked past him to change my clothes. I changed into my clothes right there in front of him. "We screwed again." He stated it every time when we're in this situation. Actually that hurted me everytime he said that, it's like I'm a slut. "Yeah, we screwed again." I answered like usual. "One day, everyone will find out about this." He said completely did not like the situation. I turned to him and he already looked at me with 'you should do something' look. I put my black dress on again and walked towards the window to see the beautiful view. I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Don't worry, we won't be doing this again. I'll make sure of that." I said seriously because he hurted me enough by saying 'we screwed again'. I'm not a slut to begin with but he made me feel like one. "And how is that possible?" He asked and I turned to him looking at him coldly. "I can guarantee you that, Lemiere, but can you?" I asked and he scoffed looking at me. "There's thousands of girls in front of my eyes and why would I want to screw you only?" He said in a cocky tone and I nodded. He smirked looking at me and I ate my heart that second. "Then goodbye, Caleb." I said completely making it as vow. His smirked faded in front of my eyes. I took my clutch and my heels without wearing it, I walked out from the hotel room. I walked towards the lift and put on my heels when I was waiting for it to come to my floor. My heart was hurting with the fact that Caleb didn't want me. It felt like a knife stabbed me a few times into my heart. Me and Caleb have been screwing each other for around a year and a half. I don't know why we did this but I felt a really strong connection with him. It felt so good to be with him so I stayed with him even though there's nothing official or feelings between us. But now I realize how much I have a lot of feelings for him. I got into the lift and when it closed, I saw my reflection. I looked so pathetic now. I took a really deep breath and let it out. "Serena, it's not worth it to cry over someone who doesn't want you. You don't deserve this, you don't deserve this." I said to myself and I tried to put a smile on my face but it was still painful to smile genuinely. I walked out from the lift and took a taxi towards my penthouse. I kept looking out the window blankly all the time, even the taxi driver has to call my name a few times to tell me that we arrived. I walked towards the lift and waited for it to come to the lobby. I felt my phone vibrating and it's Caleb. I rejected the call and blocked his number. I threw my phone to the garbage and walked into the lift. The lift went up to my floor and I walked inside. My maids greeted me and I walked to my room. I threw my clutch to my bed and walked towards the window. I crossed my arms in front of my chest looking at the roads blankly. "If that's what you really want then I will give it to you, Caleb Lemiere." I said. Present day.. "Good morning baby." I just smiled when Timothy said that. He slipped his arms around my waist from the back and started to trail kisses on my shoulder. "I have to go to work." I slipped away from his arms and took all of my clothes from the ground. I took his shirt that I'm wearing off and threw it to him. He smirked looking at me. I put my clothes on and took my clutch along with my phone. "See you again tonight?" He asked and I just smirked looking at him. I walked out from his apartment and walked towards the lift. I went down to the lobby and took a taxi to go to a meeting that the Gold Lifes have. When I arrived there, I got out of the taxi. I walked inside the Lemiere building going straight to the meeting room. I was late for 3 minutes and I bet everyone will be looking at me with their judging faces but I couldn't care less. I walked inside and as I predicted, they all looked at me disbelief. I just shrugged and sat down on the nearest chair to the door. I just listened to the meeting and when it's done, my dad held me to have a talk with me. He let everyone out first leaving only my mom and dad. "Serena, until when you're going to act like this?" My dad asked in a really tiring tone. "I don't know." "You even came with a lot of hickeys on your neck." My mom said in a sad tone but I ignored it. "I'm young and free so.. let me have my own life." I said and I got up from my seat. "Serena.. please." My mom begged but I walked towards the door. I walked out from the meeting room towards the lift. I stood blankly in front of it and I felt someone standing beside me. "Showing up to a meeting with hickeys all over your neck is not a good attitude to begin with. I even doubt that you're a Cesantio." I don't need to turn my head to see who it is. "I don't even feel like I'm a Cesantio because I'm full of STD." I answered coldly and then walked into the lift. I looked at Caleb coldly and he looked away avoiding my eyes. "You're acting like a slut." "I'm not acting.. I am one." I said and then I closed the door.
