♫ But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name ♫

Lance Stroll POV

I got home soaked wet. I was staying at my dad's house because of the holidays so he saw me walking in right as he was talking to Chloe and Scotty. The three of them just stopped to look at me worriedly.

"What happened?" My dad asks getting up and they do the same.

"She found out and she broke it off. She left in the middle of the mall, I went after her and waited, she says she wants some time but that this will end either way. I can't believe that having this fucking name is always stopping me from being genuinely loved" I say getting angrier by the minute.

"She will come back to her senses, do as she asked. Give her today to think about it. Maybe tomorrow you can talk about it" Dad says putting his hand in my shoulder.

"I love her, I really do. Don't ask me how I got so hung up on her in only a few months but I can't lose her" I say seriously and he nods.

"She will come back. I can try to talk to her tomorrow if you want to" Chloe says and I shake my head.

"I will give her time and space, she asked for it. She bought gifts for all of you, they are in the car. I have to go get them before I forget it" I say going outside.

I went to my room and spent the afternoon there. I didn't receive a single text or call. The next day I got up to have breakfast and the table was quiet, we went to the living room but the silence was there. Mom got in happily but quickly understood the general mood.

"Who died?" She asks sitting between me and Chloe.

"My relationship. There are people who get mad at other people being rich, my girlfriend happened to be one of the rare cases where that happens" The moment I bitterly said it, the whole room filled up with laughter and I laughed too.

"Oh, Zoey didn't take it too well?" Mom asks more worriedly once the laughter ended.

"She didn't" I hear my phone ringing and I was going to ignore it until I see her name on the screen so I quickly pick it up.

"Baby?" I ask as soon as I pick up and the few seconds of silence worried me.

"Great house by the way, exactly what I expected from a billionaire. Could you come outside please?" She says and before she had asked me that I was already on my way to the front door.

"That was fast" She says leaning on a car and from what I know, no one in my family has a Maserati and that is an expensive one. It costs almost 200k, almost as much as the one I was hiding from her.

"Nice ride, new?" I ask looking at it but she shakes her head.

"Not really. I don't use it much though. We need to talk" She says standing up properly and I nod.

"We can go inside and sit so we can be more comfortable" I say pointing for her to go ahead but she once again shakes her head.

"This will be fast. As soon as this ends I am pretty sure our relationship is over" She says coldly but I didn't believe the image she was presenting. She was playing with her fingers so she was nervous. As much as I am.

"You can go ahead. I am a good listener" I say putting one of my hands in the pocket of my pants.

"I am what most people would call a gold digger. My mom is one too. I made money by sleeping with rich men, my mom would go further but that is all. All that I have was paid by those men. This car, the apartment, some jewels, dresses, and heels. They would either give me expensive stuff or money" She says looking me in the eyes and I feel my world collapsing at my feet. She was the type of woman I have been running from. And I fell right in it.

"Why are you telling me this now? You never got anything from me, why? You could've gone for the big price, getting married, and getting half of what I have. Why didn't you?" I ask confusedly.

"I never knew you were rich, I wish I did. This would've never happened. I would've accepted the VIP and the drinks and then disappeared from your life. I wasn't looking for money that night. I don't want to do that to you, I wouldn't. This bag was my gift. I have yours so it's fair but I could bring them" She says giving me the bag.

"It was all genuine?" I ask trying to find her eyes, as soon as I did I felt everything was fine again.

"It was, but we both made a big mistake. We never saw our biggest difference. And I am glad it was sooner than later. Have a nice day and I hope 2023 is better for you. I love you Lance and I could never leave the blame on you, this one is on me" She says putting her hand on my cheek and giving me a smile.

"I love you Zoey. Shouldn't that be enough?" I say as my vision got blurry.

"It should but we know that my reputation would ruin all the good moments. You won't be able to trust me. I understand it. I thought that if you were poor you would accept it more openly. This is our ruin" She says straightening my hair.

"Don't go" I ask as she took a step back and I stop feeling her touch.

"Take care of yourself Lance. You deserve the best of the best" She says entering her car. As soon as she leaves the property I feel a tear rolling down my face. Fuck. I lost her.

"She isn't coming back" I hear Chloe saying and I shake my head.

"She isn't" I say turning to head inside.

"What did she say?" My dad asks as I enter the living room and everyone tried to make it seem like they weren't watching by the windows.

"She said she is a gold digger, apparently it's the family business because her mom was one too. That is what you meant when you talked about her mother. Couldn't you have told me?" I could've avoided all of this.

"I did my due research, you didn't want to hear nothing from me. Nobody mentioned her threatening them. She was never married. By her age, her mother had already been married and divorced twice. She passed everything easily" He says calmly.

Why is he this calm? He always warned me and about this, he told me to stay away from women who even lifted a warning. She lifts every type of warning and he is acting like it's nothing.
