When a hopeless playboy, Chad James Carter was busted by his father, his life turned upside down. After his father had found out that he was spending his time with different girls partying instead of studying, he gave Chad a punishment. Chad should...
"What?" He asked nonchalantly without taking his eyes off his paperwork.
I was losing my courage by his cold and distant attitude towards me. He was busy with his damn paperwork, ignoring me.
I sighed. "Will you listen to me?" I snapped, annoyed.
He lifted up his head and plunged his piercing eyes into mine with a reckless expression on his face, placing his hand on the desk.

I bit my lower lip nervously while squeezing the strap of my bag tightly under his piercing and intimidating gaze.
He frowned, annoyed. "I am busy. I don't have time for your accusation or lectures." He gave me cold glare as he ran his hand through his silky hair. "You made me memorize what an awful person I am. Thanks, but I heard enough." He stated bitterly. "Now if you don't mind, I have important things to do. Tell what you want and leave." He said firmly, giving me a determined look.
Tears shimmered in my eyes. I shook my head in disappointment. He was not the same person who I loved. Maybe, I was wrong about him, and he was a bad person. He wasn't the same Chad. My Chad who was thoughtful, caring and affectionate. The man in front of me was someone else, not the same Chad, he was a ruthless, mean, and heartless billionaire nothing more.
"It isn't important anymore. Sorry for disturbing you." I said bitterly. "I am leaving now." She added.
Don't worry you will not see my face next minute.
"Bye." He said coldly and looked back at his paperwork.
I stormed out of his office, slamming the door behind me. I looked down, ignoring his secretary while rushing towards the elevator as tears ran down my cheeks. Chad's attitude towards me made me feel like I was a cheap, needy, pitiful woman. I had never felt like this before. He acted towards me like I was some clingy woman who he had spent a night and now that woman glued to him like a leech.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived quickly. I walked in and pressed on a button. I leaned against the wall, crying, my hand rested on my stomach.
****
It had been a week since my so-called conversation with Chad. I promised myself that I would not see him again. I was angry at him, as well as myself; I shouldn't go to see him. I was a fool.
I was in my office in our company. I started working at our company two days ago. It helped me to distract myself from thinking about Chad all day long.
Suddenly, my phone rang. When I looked at the screen, I was surprised. It was Chad's mother. I cleared my throat and picked it up.
"Hi, Claire." I greeted her.
"Hi, sweetie. How are you?" She asked softly.
"Fine. Thanks. And you?" I asked.
"Fine, sweetie. I called you to invite you for lunch." She said.
I bit my lower lip without saying anything. Going to their house meant to see Chad too. But now, I wasn't ready to see him nor I didn't want to see him.
"Please don't refuse, Elise. I missed you. Alissa wants to see you too." She insisted.
"I..."
"If the reason is Chad, don't worry, he will not be home." She added.
I breathed deeply and accepted. "Ok."
"Perfect. See you, sweetie." She exclaimed happily.
"See you."
I ruffled my hair, breathing deeply. At least, Chad would not be home. I grabbed my bag and left my office.
I stopped my car in front of a luxurious mansion. I squeezed the steering wheel nervously, staring at the mansion. I breathed deeply and got out of the car as I grabbed my bag.
After greeting Claire and Alissa, we went to the garden for lunch. I felt relieved as I knew Chad wasn't home.
Chad's POV
I didn't go to the company today. I decided to spare time for myself. I was walking on the beach with my dog, King.

The last time when I was here, I was with Elise. As I was walking along the shore, our memories here were flashing on my mind. Her beautiful smile, her mesmerizing green eyes, our kisses, her warmth against my skin. As much as I tried to forget her, I didn't succeed in forgetting her. Her name engraved in my heart forever. I felt devastated, lonely, unhappy and empty without her. Lost in darkness.
I parked my car in front of the mansion and got out of the car. I opened the door, and King jumped out of the car. I grabbed his leash and headed us towards the garden. Suddenly, he ran, making me drop the leash.
"Stop, King!" I shouted behind him as I ran after him.
I stopped as I saw King beside a girl while the girl was stroking his head.
"Oh, Chad, you are here." My mother said, giving me a nervous look.
When the girl turned around, I was surprised.
"Elise." I mumbled, astonished. Her expression changed as soon as she saw me.
"I am leaving." Elise said as she stood up instantly.
"Elise." My mother pleaded.
"Stay. I am going to my room. I will not disturb you. Don't worry." I said dryly. "Come on, King." I called my dog. He ran towards me. I bent down and stroked his head, smiling. "Good boy." I gave Elise one more glare and left, pulling on the leash, walking towards the dog house.
Then I went to my room. I stripped off my clothes and went to the bathroom. I turned on the water and stood under the warm water, closing my eyes shut. Every time seeing her hatred gaze made my heart ache. It was unbearable.
