Chapter 1
>>>>>>>>>>MIA’S POV
“What did you just say?” One of my roommates ask as she landed a hot slap on another’s cheek.
Well, life with my roommates, the six of them has been nothing but drama all the time. Not only do they fight but they also litter the whole room. They throw their clothes everywhere and litter the floor with packs of cigarettes, used tissues and even tampons. My life here in New York has been a mess.
Leaving Paris because I couldn’t fend there and coming down to New York hoping to get a decent job has been nothing but series of disappointments. I have searched for jobs around town and ended up being disappointed every single time.
Well, another day, another trail. I went to the wardrobe I shared with three other ladies to search for my clothes. I could have sworn I kept my neatly ironed white dress on the bed. It was the prettiest dress an orphan like me can afford. I searched thoroughly throughout the room and I couldn’t find it .
I stared at the ladies in the room and I saw that Jane, the meanest had a smirk on her face.
“Jane, please hand over the dress you took from my bed” I pleaded with her
“Hey stupid, what I’m I supposed to do with that filthy dress of yours. Is not like I’m attending a funeral” she blurted out and the other ladies laughed. Jane had always bullied me since the very first day I stepped my foot into this room.
“Please Jane, I’m begging you, I need that dress. I have a job interview in the next 35 minutes” I begged
“Wow look guys, another job interview. We all know you won’t get the job” Andrea, Jane’s best friend said
“You both should stop being a jerk and give her back her dress” Lucy, who had been nice to me said to them and they grinned
“Check inside the waste bin over there you’ll find it there” Jane said as she walked out of the room with Andrea
I ran to the waste bin and found my dress in there. The dress was stained with paint. I sat down on the floor and burst into tears. I hated my life here. No matter how hard I tried to please my roommates they never appreciate.
Someone tapped me from behind and I raised my head to see Lucy holding a dress and stretching it out to me.
“ I wanted to use it for a party tonight but you can have it. Just make sure you return it once you’re done with your interview” she said to me
I jumped up and gave her a hug. She was like an angel sent to me.
“Stop crying and dress quickly so you won’t miss your interview”
“Thank you. I promise to return the dress” I said
“You had better and it should be clean, okay?” She said
“ of course. Of course” I said happily jumping around the room
>>>>>>>>>>DAMIEN’S POV
“What did you say? The meeting has started? Tell him I’ll be there in 10minutes.”
“Can you go any faster?” I asked my driver.
“Yes sir”
I do not want to get on my dad’s nerve anymore. I know Zander and Javier are there already.
West library is the biggest library in New York and my dad is the wealthiest man here. I’m not interested in anything concerning the library but he didn’t give any of us a choice. He forced us to partake in everything happening in the library.
Apparently the lady who reads book for him died so he’s looking for a replacement and that’s why he’s holding this meeting.
I’m twenty five and he doesn’t allow me do anything I want. Javier and Zander seems to enjoy everything about the library, especially reading time. My phone beeped and a text from dad came in;
“Damien you better get your ass here. Don’t get me upset”.
Gosh! Does this man want my life !
>>>>>>>>>>>MIA’S POV
Another disappointment as usual. I was rejected even before I was interviewed. I’m tired of all these. Why can’t I just get a decent job and live the best life ever?
I didn’t know when I got into the road and a car drove towards me with full speed.
“What the hell!” I screamed
>>>>>>>>>>DAMIEN’S POV
“Well, is she conscious?” I asked my driver. How could he be so reckless to hit someone?
“Well?” I asked again
“Boss, I think we should take her to the hospital” he said
“Hospital? You fool, we don’t have time for that!” I yelled
“But.. we can’t leave her here like this” he said
Well, he’s right. We certainly can’t leave her here.
“Fine put her in the car, we’ll drop her at the hospital, pay the bills and leave”
“Yes sir”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Here, use my card for the payment” I said to the nurse on duty
“Yes sir” she said walking slowly, probably trying to impress me
When will ladies realize I don’t have time for them?
“Walk fast lady!” I yelled and she immediately got to her post and made the payment
“Good” I said as she handed the card over to me
“Now give this to the lady receiving treatment. Tell her to call me ASAP okay?” I said to her stretching out my business card to her
“Wait you’re Damien from West library?” She asked squeaking
I made an eye roll ?. Well nobody knows what we look like.
“Of course not, I’m not Damien. He’s Damien” I said pointing at my driver who was standing at the entrance
“Then who are you?” She asked disappointedly
“I’m his driver” I said to her
“Oh, no wonder he’s more handsome” she said blushing and waving at him
Ladies..
“Well, lady just give her the card when she wakes up, okay?” I said to her again
“Yea I heard you, you don’t have to be all rude about it. You’re just a driver” she said
This lady is unbelievable
“And remember to tell her to call, okay?” I said and walked away before getting a reply from her
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>MIA’S POV
I looked around wondering where I was as a lady dressed in white walked into the room.
“You must be really special” she said
“Sorry who are you? And where I’m I?” I asked her
“Chill, what does Damien even see in you?”
“Damien? Who’s Damien?”
“you’re free to go home, you’ve been discharged” she said, tried walking away and turned back like one who had forgot something.
“Here, Damien said you should give him a call as soon as you leave”
“Damien? It can’t possibly be me. Who’s Damien?” I asked again
“ I can’t make a mistake when it comes to Damien. You can leave though”
Who the hell is Damien and what does he want?
No
