Vine quickly made it down the pavement, cursing as her heels pressed against her toes. She didn't find a cab, and she couldn't wait so she had to walk at least three blocks.It wasn't like she wasn't good with heels. She was good with walking in them not running, and she would have taken them off without a thought, so she could run better, if not for wanting to maintain decency. She finally made it to her apartment, stopping for a second to catch her breath and take off those demonice heels since she was away from public eyes it felt like heaven to be free. As she burst through the door, she saw Gold sharply turn around in fear, as she knelt down beside Tony, who in turn, was laying on the couch.“Jesus Christ, you scared me." Gold clutched her chest and stood up, going to hug Vine. Vine half heartedly accepted the hug, her entire mind transfixed on her brother, show as laying on the couch. “I'm sorry. What's going on?" She asked her best friend.Gold walked away from her, going b
Vine absentmindedly hurried out of the E.T.E building just to be met by floods of paparazzi, she didn't want to look confused and shocked, just incase her face appears mistakenly in the papers she wouldn't want to look stupid, so she straightened her shoulders and raised her head high, as if she would fit in a good vogue magazine cover. She walked completely out of the entrance toward the packing space and halted when it seemed like their attention was on her, "oh my gosh, what I'm I gonna say, what are they gonna ask me" she shrink in her head.The paparazzi cameras flashed continously and Vine stood awkwardly in front of them. She flashed her award winning smile as a female reporter in a tight red dress hurried towards her and... walked right passed her. It took a few seconds for reality to set in. All cameras were in fact focused on the captivating man standing just behind Vine. Nathaniel Ross Jnr, grandson of the multi billionaire and business tycoon Nathaniel Ross. Nathaniel Ros

Mr Ross nodded"Of course" Nate replied"That's great, because I also have great news for you" Mr Ross broke out"What is it about?" Nate asked like he doesn't really care, his eyes seeming tired and stressed out, the calm blue lights in the floor made his appearance blur for his grandfather to see his expression"Clare had accepted the plan to marry you" Mr Ross let out, he didn't know the reaction to expect from his grandson but he said it anyway"Did I ever ask her hand in marriage?" Nate brows joined together in confusion "I did" Mr Ross confirmed the question bobbling up in his grandson's headNate let out a dry laugh "and I'm just supposed to go with it?" He raised an arrogant brow "Yes" Mr Ross replied straight forwardly with no excuses allowed in his tone
Vine prayed that no one, especially Clare to spoil her day, she just wants a smooth day as she makes plans for the wedding, she greeted the few people she saw as she kept walking to her office."Hello Vine" Cleo, the secretary in her office greeted"Good morning Cleo, you came early today, is there any occasion?" Vine took her seat behind her desk"Not really, wanted to stay away from my nagging husband as early as possible today" Cleo pressed down on her computer like what she just said was not a touching matter"Oh..." Vine didn't know what to say so instead of replying she concentrated on her own business."Now how do I comply a weeding budget" she asked herself as she typed on her system."You can start with the payment of the wedding hall, ask if there will be a kind of after party or something like that" Daisy, Vine's colleague and friend, who was Clare's financial assistant walked in."You're always an aid in my frustrated life" Vine smiled"Good morning Cleo" Daisy greeted the
The sound of birds chirping beautifully serenaded a sleepy Vine from her short nap. She had stayed up all night in a bid to rush through the wedding preparations so she could finally do away with her overbearing boss and her annoyingly rude fiance.How a couple had so much skill in getting under her skin, she couldn't comprehend. Wait a minute… birds are chirping?! What time is it?!"Holy fuck! It's 10 am!"She rushed downstairs and saw a note from Tony. He had fixed her a sandwich because she was sleeping in after a long night. I hope this helps to reduce your preparation time, sis. You really need to stop pulling up these all-nighters. You'll ruin your pretty skin.Anyway, I'm off to school now. Milk's in the fridge. I ran to the convenience store really early this morning since we ran out of some yesterday. MAKE SURE YOU EAT! Love you!xoxo.Tony was such a sweetheart sometimes. Most people had troubling dealing with their teenage brothers but not Vine. She had a little angel in
Vine highlights the commercial vehicle and in front of her is a high rise building. She feels a little uncomfortable as everyone around her not only look rich but smell rich also.She takes a look at her watch and notices she’s 5 minutes early. She looks around hoping to notice Nathan in the crowd even though she has never met him before.“Fucking narcissist! Where in the hotel am I supposed to meet you?”She calm’s herself quickly with a quick breathing exercise, managing to mask her frustration, she raises her head up high and walks into the hotel.She enters the hotel lobby as is left dumbstruck by how extravagant the interior of the hotel is. She looks all around her in awe as she approaches the receptionist’s desk.“Afternoon Ma’am, how may I help you?” the receptionist asks her with a warm smile.Vine feels relaxed as she sees a friendly face.“Morning, I have an appointment with Mr. Nathan Ross here.”The receptionist smiles at her and makes a call with the landline to her left
A cab stops in front of the E.T.E, the door opens and a long slender leg first comes out, followed by the body it belongs to. Lena, looks up at the E.T.E, she sweeps back her dark glistening hair that covered her face due to the wind. She hurries up into the building.She enters the building and goes straight to the receptionist desk.“How may I help you?” the receptionist asks.“Evening, I have an appointment with Madam Elizabeth”, Lena respondsThe receptionist places a call with the landline in her front and confirms the appointment.“Her office, top floor, last door on the right.”“Thank you.” She replies as she walks away unable to hide her nervousness. She gets into the elevator and presses 7 as it is the highest floor. The elevator door is about to close when a foot gets stuck between the door forcing it to open up once again.The owner of the foot steps in and it is Vine. She sees Lena and smiles at her. She also clicks the 7 button and the elevator closes. Lena stares at her
Lights comes in through the window from a slit formed between two curtains. The alarm clock rings, blaring loud in the room. Nate lay in bed, eyes wide open staring at the ceiling. His eyes moves towards the alarm clock. “Damned alarm clock!” he hisses as he leans towards the bedside drawer to turn it off. The light from the window flashes on his face.“Can’t even get a damn break!” he complains. His phone vibrates at that very moment and he shuts his eyes close. “Oh Come on! It’s my day off!”He picks the phone up and sees a text from Vine. Sir is it possible for us to meet today to discuss the details regarding your Engagement Party? Vine.

He goes to the window and stares outside, watching a bird by the window sill sing its song. He smiles, another bird flies in, 3 small heads pop out the nests with wide open hungry mou
