I closed the door behind me and kicked off my shoes. I wiped the sweat off my brow with my now soaked t-shirt before I pulled it off and tossed it over the couch. I headed to the kitchen and grabbed myself a water bottle.

I tapped my food against the tiled floor as I looked down at my rolex. Carl stood there with a smile on his face as the two of us waited for Olivia to get ready and join us. Today was her first day working and the boss was already annoyed. We needed to leave and even though I’m in charge, I dislike being late.

“I’m sure she wants to make a good impression on you Mr. Reid.” He said to me.

“Not being late would be better…” I trailed off, “OLIVIA!!!” I yelled out to her.

“Jeez, relax Mr. Boss-Man. I’m coming.” She said back as I could hear heels clacking against the floor as she walked towards the two of us. If I wasn’t frustrated about being late, I would have thought she actually looked beautiful… Dressed very professional without looking stuffy. It was nice.

“Finally.” I told her with a stare as she smirked at me.

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke...

I heard noise coming from the kitchen and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get back to sleep. I stood up and headed towards the source of the noise, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, “What’s going on in here?” I asked, my voice still scratchy from sleep. Olivia was in the kitchen, in just a t-shirt and a pair of panties on. She was trying to tease me… “Is something burning?” I asked her.

“No.” She said flatly, turning the pancake on the stove, “Just one, but the others are perfect.” She said, pointing to a play of freshly made pancakes that actually looked appetizing. Since when was she a hotter, younger Betty Crocker?

Chloe and I walked hand in hand on the grounds of my father’s estate with the wedding planner. The two of us might not be married yet, but it felt that way… We barely had planned anything even though it had been months since I had proposed. The only reason we really started was Bea was pressuring us because she wanted to be a flower girl that badly.

"Voglio la tua testa fra le gambe…” Carina cooed as she gave me a sultry look as her hand rubbed my d.ick through my jeans.

I smirked, “Dopo che si succhiano il cazzo.” 

She nodded, batting her lashes, but before she bent her head down I heard a voice, “I’m pretty sure that were not allowed to have guests.” And then Carina was rushing off me with red cheeks. F.uck

"Chi è lei?!” She exclaimed before looking at the girl in front of me. I noticed that it was one of the new ‘sisters’ we had gotten recently. I couldn’t remember her name… Olivia, I think.

“What do you want?” I asked her before turning my head back to Carina, "Lei è la nuova aggiunta - mia ‘sorella.’"

“Why do we even have to do this Sam?” I asked my agent as she drove us to her office.

“Because I am up to my a.ss in calls, questions and annoying messages. You and Gavin royally f.ucked up.”

I rolled my eyes, “Yeah, I’m sorry my personal life f.ucked up your work.”

“Do you want me to quit?” She glared at me.

I sighed, “No.”

Occupation: Owner of the fortune 500 company - Reid Enterprises

Bio: On the outside, Dominic looks like he lives a charmed life, but looks can be deceiving… Born to a business magnate and former Italian model he had a good life, until his mother passed away from cancer when he was 5 and after that his life was never the same. His father couldn't live without his mother and drank until he could forget her… and eventually Dominic. Eventually, CPS got involved and took him away and was put into the foster system. The foster system was cruel to him and was moved from home to home, never finding somewhere to actually call home. He grew up determined to make himself worth more and decided to reclaim his father’s business and bring it back to it’s former glory. Although, he’s no successful in business, it doesn’t mean his mental state is any better than when he was a foster child; He has deep dark secrets and problems that he refuses to acknowledge. The only reason he made it through his teen years was because of an older widow that fostered him when he was 17. She was his solace and protector and saw him for what he was really worth. He pretty much owes all of her success to her.

I stepped into YSL and smiled widely at the rack of the insanely beautiful pieces of clothing that and I felt like I was in heaven. I waved at the sales woman who greeted me and showed me a few new items that I immediately fell in love with. I had so many clothes yet I couldn’t stop; some people called it a problem, I called it my life.

I heard the door open and shut as my younger sister walked in flustered, “I’m sorry I’m late. I had to drop Gabe off with Ben.” She told me.

“Graham?” I yelled out as stepped into the apartment, tossing my keys on the table and kicking off my heels as no one responded, “Graham, baby, are you home?” I asked once more, worried.

“I’m in the kitchen.” I heard a deep voice and I walked into our kitchen. Graham was sitting there, sipping some kind of brown liquid out of out crystal glass… We never used that set nor did we really have liquor in the house other than beer and wine. He looked disheveled and drunk.

“Are these flowers okay for your mother?” I asked Quinn as I looked at the bouquet I grabbed at the grocery story.

She laughed, “They’re fine! Are you trying to get into her pants or something?” She smirked as we stopped in front of the door to her parents house.

Dexter barked loudly, waking me up, “Dex, stop.” He always usually just barked at people walking outside my apartment, but he continued as I sat up in bed.

[FLASHBACK]

I drank as much Jack Daniels’ before I needed a breath. I set the bottle down and turned my attention towards the line on the table in front of me. I took a straw and snorted the white powder before closing my eyes and leaning back against the couch feeling the high.

“You’re about to go on and you’re high as hell?” I heard a familiar voice and opened my eyes to see my father standing there giving me a disapproving look.

“What movie do you want to watch?” I asked, grabbing the remote and started flipping through the movie channels while Ames poured us some wine.

He shrugged, “Choose whatever you want.” He said, handing me the glass.

I grinned, “I’ll choose something girly.” I teased him

He laughed at me, “Doesn’t matter. I’m planning on making out the whole time anyways.” He smirked as he removed the throw pillows from my couch onto the floor, “How many damn pillows do you need?”

“You know you’d look good in sweats Milena!” I heard Ames yell from the other room.

I laughed, putting some lipstick on, “It’s our first official date! I want to look good.” I said, walking out. His eyes widened as he spotted me.

“Wow…”

“Good?” I asked with a grin.

“Better than good… Great.” He said standing up.

“You’re all alone tonight?” I heard a voice ask me as I stepped into the club.

Honestly, tonight was going to be hard for me. New Year’s Eve and I was alone, but I couldn’t spend it at home moping.

I looked over at the guy and felt like I was being tested, because the old me would have swooned and I would have probably gone home with him, but I wouldn’t let that happen. I just had to be polite.

I slowly walked through the door and immediately I heard a high pitched squeal as I shut the door behind me and Gabe wrapped his arms around my waist, “Aunt Mila!” He yelled out.

“Hi there cutie!” I grinned, squeezing him tightly.

"Are you nervous?" I grinned at Liam as we walked towards the Lindsell's house for Sunday dinner. It'd been a few months since we started dating and he asked if he could meet my family... I was a bit thrown off when he asked me... But agreed. Liam was the best boyfriend I had ever had. Period. He was mentally all there, mature, and had a stable job. I was nervous though... My family had never liked my boyfriends... I was hoping it'd be different this time.

"Aunt Mila!!" I heard a loud pitched voice yell out as I opened my front door and I was confronted by my sister and nephew.

"Gabe!" I grinned, grabbing him as he ran into my arms, "I missed you cutie!" I told him giving him a kiss on his temple. He made a face and wiped the invisible kiss off of him.

"I missed you too…" He grinned at me.

I walked out the meeting with a potential producer and pulled out my phone, noticing I had 5 missed calls from my agent and a few texts from her that said call me.

I walked to my car and before I started it, I called her back, "Why the hell have you been ignoring my calls?!" She yelled into the phone.

I pulled back to alleviate the screaming, but even a few inches away it still hurt my ears, "I was in a meeting with a producer! What's going on?"

"What's going on is that you never told me that you've been screwing Gavin Coopers!!" She yelled and my heart beat quickened and I sat up straighter in my seat.

"Where'd you hear that?" I breathed out.

"I read it! On the cover of People magazine!! Why didn't you tell me Gavin was the reason you went to Chicago?!" She kept yelling but all I could hear was the sound of my heart beating. "Better yet, why didn't you tell me you were dating?!"

"We're not dating." I told her as I placed my forehead on my steering wheel.

"Well from the pictures it definitely looks like the two of you are dating!!" She yelled once more.

"I need to go Alice!" I told her, hanging up on her.

I stuck my key into the ignition and drove towards the first gas station I came across. I put on my sunglasses as I tried to go in covertly and spotted mine and Gavin's faces on the cover of People. Where the hell were the paparazzi hiding?! I didn't think anybody would have know we were in Chicago so I let my guard down. F.uck my life! I grabbed the magazine and set a five in the counter before storming out. In the few minutes that I was in the convenient store someone called the paparazzi and flashes of lights were going off in my face.

Hey oh, never let go of me. Hold tight, it’s gonna get hard to breathe. Never never let you drown, even if we’re going down.

I looked all around the packed smoky bar as I tried to tell myself to relax. It had been days since I left Ames and every time he called it broke my heart a little bit more. I was a coward… afraid to hear what he was going to say to me the morning after. Two big scenarios ran through my head; one, he would tell me that it had been an amazing night that he would remember for the rest of his life and hoped we could still be friends or two, he never wanted it to end…  I was hoping for the latter, but was afraid I was going to hear the former.

He had left voicemails and I couldn't even bear to listen. I was such a fucking coward. No wonder I couldn't keep a guy for the life of me…

I headed to the bar, "What can I get you?" The bartender asked me.

I shrugged and sat down, "Just a vodka and cranberry with a splash of lime." I told him looking around. This wasn't the usual club I went to. It was off the beaten path and I knew I wouldn't run into anybody I knew… That's what I wanted; to disappear.

It was some dive bar where greasy hipsters would go to and I felt completely out of place now. There was even a band playing. I sighed, wondering what the hell I was doing here anyways. I just needed to go home open a pint of ice cream and mope.
