"Wake up bastard." A voice echoed through the room, making Zach stir on his bed.

"Zach, we need to talk." And Zach grabbed a pillow, putting it upon his head to block the voices.

"Asshole, wake up." He stirred again.

"There's an earthquake." He showed the finger.

"Zach."

No response.

"Zach!" The person shook him.

"Zach, its fucking important." This time, he opened his eyes, blinking a few times and taking in the surroundings.

He turned around to glance at the table clock before fixing his glare to the person.

"This, better be important, cause if not, I am going to make sure that you do not, like ever, get a good night sleep." He grumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"It is important. Why the fuck do you think I will wake you out of everyone at fucking four am? I could have just called Max or someone else." River glared back, plopping on the bean bag.

"Wow, I am so feeling the love dear brother." Zach threw his hands on the air, sarcasm drifted in each and every word.

"Shut it and listen to me." And Zach grumbled before getting in a sitting position.

"What is it?" He asked, groggily.

River let out a breath before running his hand through his face.

"Father made me go on a date yesterday."

That perked up Zach's interest and he looked at him suspiciously.

"And?" Zach pushed.

"It was a scam. All of this started last week. When I went to his office, he asked me to sign up a contract that clearly stated that Blake enterprise's heir, River Blake agree to the terms and will marry the Thompson's heir as soon as both of them will be ready to be committed to each other. I-" But before he could continue, Zach cut him off.

"Tell me right now that you did not sign the contract. What the fuck?! You cannot just marry anyone. What is wrong with him?" Zach's eyes almost bulged out of its sockets and he looked at River unbelievably, hoping that he would say he just pulled a prank on him.

"I did not sign it. I told him that none can make me agree to it. Then yesterday, he said that I need to go on the date or else Blake enterprises will lose the contract. He said we will lose a big fortune and all those shit. So, well, I agreed. But you know what he did? He fucking called the paparazzi. Now, each and every headline says that me and Andrea are dating." River looked angry, he looked too angry.

"Woah, woah, Andrea?" Zach tried to sound surprised, he really did.

"Yah, remember? Andrea Blue Thompson, Faye's friend from Brownfield? Ginger? She even comes to our parties." Zach nodded at that, running a hand through his hair.
