Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Barbara grabbed her bag into the living room of the Calvin's villa.

Fiona; take my things to the car. Barbara order, Fiona is one of the maid in the Calvin's villa, she pulled the bag, as soon as Barbara instruct her to.

Where are you going? Hazel, her mother asked with a soft but annoying voice.

I need a break, I just can't stand the sight of Claudia.

Barbara, she is your sister and it's...

Yes, she is my sister and it's only right that she takes everything that rightfully belongs to me, including my boyfriend.

Barbara, you don't talk back at me, you should...

Grateful for everything, yes I am grateful, I just need space and time alone.

Fine! If that is what you want but you should be back by weekend, your dad will be back and you should know, no members of the family should be out of this roof, when he returns.

Hazel said, Barbara didn't say a word to her, she left hazel. Hazel is a proud woman in her forties and the wife of Calvin, the founder of Calvin's Group, the family is into resort business, people from far and wide come to the resort for recreation, being the wife of one of the famous family give her pride and make her see others as nothing, she view the poor as nothing and she only like to mingle with the high and mighty.

Young mistress! Where should I take you?

The beach house!

That was the only word, Barbara said to Ethan, her driver, as soon as she sit at the back of the car, her eyes are focus on the screen having a view of the different places but her heart is far from it, she loves nature that is one of the reasons, she always go hiking but this day is different, everything is far from pleasant to her. She try to control her emotions but everything is not working for her, the morning incident keep playing in her head.

Earlier that morning, she had wore a blue jeans and t-shirt with a sneakers to match her top. In her simple outfit, she is looking really beautiful, she plans of surprising her boyfriend, who happens to be Derrick, the son of Leonard's group.

Instead of calling him before going to his house.

Of what use calling him, when it's a surprise. She said mentally as she get to the entrance of the building, she turned the main door knob, the door wasn't lock.

Even if it was, she has her own keys to the building, as the door knob click open she walked right into the living room, all the light are on and there are two empty wine glass, she assumed that he might have a visitor earlier but as she go deeper, taking the stairs one after the other, she could hear sounds

Those annoying sounds of a man and a woman downing in ecstasy echoed in the room, it was so loud and irritating to Barbara.

She pushed the door open only to see her beloved sister and supposed boyfriend making out on his bed.

Her tears drop, at first, she seems to have lost her voice, Derrick had heard the door knob shift but he is too carried away to take notice of his surrounding.

As soon as her bag fall to the floor, the noise make the two pulled from each other, they look at her without even making a move to go to her.

Hey baby, let's continue. Claudia claim Derrick's lips again.

Claudia!

This time, Barbara called out, she just can't believe that Claudia and Derrick will cheat on her, her sister and her fiance sleeping together.

What? Claudia burst in laughter after asking that.

Do you have shame? I just caught you sleeping with my boyfriend and you still laughed like the shameless harlot you are...

Hey stop it, you are the harlot here, Derrick, you should tell her, how long we have been dating and for the record, we are engaged.

Engaged?

Of cause! This time, Derrick said, she look at them like some moron, this is not some jokes, it getting too serious to be over look.

Were you thinking, I could pick you over her? You know I don't do good girls, I got blood running in my veins and I don't intend to become a eunuch because of you.

Derrick, you are kidding me?

Barbara, you should stop thinking high of yourself, no one will want to leave an heir and go for adopted child that no one knows who her parents are.

Claudia, shut up! Barbara said In midst of tears, she can't believe that this is happening to her.

Go home sister, you look so pitiful, dad will be so detest saying his princess cry over a man.

Derrick, you said you love me, you love me right?

Love? Derrick take that part like it's irritating. Every whore doesn't deserve a good man.

Wait, I have never cheated on you, I swear, you...

Barbara, get lost, you should know I have long trash you, like a used doll.

I beg...

I said get out. Derrick was ready to throw Barbara out but then Claudia pulled him back.

Hey! Don't waste your breath on her, Let her, watch as we make out. Claudia closed the Gap between them, claiming Derrick lips with hers.

The two are really shameless, she no longer need and invitation to get out, their escapades is enough to show her the door, by the time, she shut the door behind her, her tears flow like they were river.

She just couldn't hold it anymore, their laughter, hurtful words and betrayal is one thing she couldn't forget in a hurry.

Claudia never love her but Derrick, is different, they were in love no, she was in love not Derrick, he is just playing with her heart, he wants nothing, nothing serious with her.

Young Mistress!

Ethan, called as he pulled the door, they have arrive the beach house few minutes, which is one of the Calvin's property but she was so lost in her thought, that she didn't notice.

Oh! Sorry, I will just alight.

It's okay, young mistress, after you, I will get your bag.

Don't worry, I will do that myself. She wiped her face, looking through the rearview mirror, she could see how dejected her face look, she wipe her face, Derrick is not worth it.

He is just a bastard, he will never get anything good in his life. Barbara pulled her bag lazily has she walked slowly into the lodge, she need to be alone, lock up In a room and cry out her eyes. As soon as she get to her suite, she fall on the bed, just for her face to be buried in the bed.

Some where in California, a young man sat lazily, showing no interest in what the two old man are talking about.

This is one of the conversation that he hate to have, where family come together just to matchmake their kids to gain publicity, power, business and gain higher rank and status in the society not thinking if they are compatible.

He doesn't believe in love since his girlfriend disappeared more than four years, he had no idea, if she is alive or dead but all he knows, marriage should happen between two compatible people even though they are not In love.

He had always succeeded to skip this but today, let's say he is unfortunate.

Dante! What do you...

His phone ring that same minutes, making him stand on his feet.
