All I wanted was to be an actress but my controlling parents were against it. Not able to take their shit any more, I became a rebel and some how ended up in the arms of my first crush, whom I had liked in high school. As fate may have it, WE didn't...
???'s POV Its my 18th birthday and I'm supposed to be happy since I officially become an adult today but what's the point if even at 18 your parents are still the dictators of your life? Ever since I was little, I wanted to be an actor but my parents wouldn't approve of it. They wanted me to be a business woman so that I could take over the family business when I am of age and they were ready to retire. To be a business woman, I had to have a heart of stone and an unfathomable way of doing things but I was the exact opposite of what I needed to be. I cried easily and was very predictable. I was smart but an emotional wreck like me isn't exactly what the family business needed. But fuck that, I'm tired of being controlled by them! I am an adult now and according to the law, I should be granted the will to make my own decisions and today, I shall fight for my freedom! Feeling confident and a bit freaky, I approached the living room where I knew they'd be but as I spotted them, I froze and all my freaky confidence vanished but I was too zealous about acting to give up on it. So with wobbly feet and a stiff body, I made my way towards them. I took a deep breathe while trying my best to put in a fierce face bit I failed, woefully. " Are you done with the ledger? " Mum asked, sighting me " I didn't do it" I responded calmly. " Why?" Dad shot a death stare and I could feel lumps form in my throat. " I hope this isn't what I think it is" mum sighed, looking disappointed. " Ariande Alfonso, we've been over this" Dad glared. " Isn't it for the best?" I asked, tearing up " I may be smart but I am not cunning, neither do I ha e the emotional balance to handle this... I don't " I sniffed " I don't want to do this" " You think we don't know that we gave birth to a gullible daughter? " Mum asked rhetorically " Go clean your self up, your husband is coming today" she added and eyeballed me. " Husband? Why? How?" My eyes widened in shock as I stared at my parents who looked irritated. " As for the why, you are too emotional to handle the business so we are getting you a worthy bachelor who will provide support in aspects where you need assistance." Dad explained " Aspects like making rational decisions " She eye balled me again. " This huge inability of yours is the only reason why you would even think about giving up on every thing we have laid out for you just because you want to act" " It may be irrational to you but the fact that you don't trust me enough to make decisions concerning my future says it all! I will become an actress with or without your permission and you can't stop me!" I fumed as tears gushed out of me eyes. " You dear talk back at us?!" Dad yelled looking like he would beat me up if I wasn't careful. " Kumbaya dad!" I yelled " kumba- fucking- ya!" I yelled again and approached the door. " If you walk out the door, you will no longer be an Alfonso " mum threaty, leaping to her feet. " Well, I don't give a soggy anus!" I swore at them and walked out of the mansion. There goes my luxurious life! I sighed as I made my way to the nearest bank. By the time I got to the bank, my account had been frozen. I was panicking seriously and then, I began to wonder why I hadn't planned ahead before confronting my parents. Its not like I expected our meeting to go well. I anticipated this but didn't prepare anything that could help me. When the sun had gone down, I took a deep breathe and approached the unknown. I didn't know where I was going but I hoped to find some where to spend the night. While wandering aimlessly, a small building with a sign board that had ' club ' written boldly on it and in golden letters caught my attention. " Siri" I brought out my phone " what's a club?" I asked. " A place where people go to have fun and get drunk" it replied " Can I spend the night at a bar?" I innocently asked. " Sure" the one worded reply filled me with hope. I naively walked in and was greeted by a string smell that I couldn't decipher but it was a bit stingy. I made my way to the seat by the corner and put my head in the table to collect myself and think things through. My thoughts were interrupted the moment I felt some one rubbing my back. I flinched and jolted away from the person. It was a man. He looked as old as my dad and was dressed in casual clothes. His eyes were so red and he smelt terribly. He had this sheepish grin plastered across his face and it really scared me, even more than his blood shot eyes. "What do you want?" I gulped. "Just here for fun, dear" he said, scanning my body with his eyes and at that moment, I knew I was in trouble. "I don't want fun, I just came here to sleep" I said, tearing up already. "It'll be quick, just a taste" he said in a mendacious voice. "That's right, be a good girl" he smirked wickedly and stretched forth his hand to touch me. Out of fear, I winced, expecting the worst to happen, only for me to hear the sound of glass shatter, followed by a thud. I opened my eyes to see the man who tried to touch me, lying unconscious on the floor with a bleeding head and pieces of glass surrounding him. I then turned my gaze to the person in front of me. It was another man but he looked around my age or a little bit older and had a broken glass bottle in his hand. He must have been the one that saved me! "Thank you so much" I said as tears poured out of my eyeballs. "As emotional as ever." The guy that saved me chuckled and dropped the bottle in his hand. He brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and as he wiped my tears, I scanned him. Spicy scent, black hair, blue iris, pointed chin, pointy nose, dagger like eye brows, broad shoulders and a profound aura that screamed danger and comfort at the same time.

"J- jakob, is that you?" I asked and a huge smile appeared on his face. "Wow, so you remember" he teased. "Why wouldn't I?" I pouted. "Let's leave this place, then we can catch up." He said and I nodded obediently.
