"Goodmorning" I greet Zion with a small smile when I plop in beside him in journalism.

"Morning, how are you?" He asks with concern etched on his face

"I'm good." I tell him, my smile becoming wider due to his concern

"Well, it's been long since we saw and even spoken to each other" he says with a small frown

"Yes. It's been real long. I've been busy lately that's all" I say. I feel he wants to say something more, but he just shrugs it off with a nod

"Well, I'm moving" he says and I snap my head to his side I'm scared I don't have a whiplash already

"Where to?" I ask

"Paris" he says with a grin

Is this some kind of a joke?

"Oh" is all I get to say.

I know I'm suppose to be happy for him and not be this selfish. He's the only friend I have asides from Annabel. And he makes it feel like my world is free, I have no drama coming up, I'm just free. Just a normal young adult attending university, just me. He makes it feel like there's no drama going on, no bestfriend being a lesbian who is interested in me, all this while. The image popping into mind making me visibly cringe. I love Zion. And if he goes I'm gonna be so hurt, but I can't be this selfish.

"Hey are you okay? You're not even listening to him" he says and I snap out of my trance

"I'm sorry, you were saying?"

"I said I'm going to continue university, they have a football scholarship thing going on, and they also enroll the course I want to do, incase if I'm to stop football" he says. He has it all planned so well

"Mhm" I mumble

"Wait? You don't want me to go?" He asks with a flash of hope in his eyes, I wonder what's it's for

"No. I mean, you can go. We'll just call each other isn't it? I'll miss you, that's for sure" I say with a small smile. I can't even fake a small smile

How pathetic!

Yeah, very pathetic

Zion's POV
"Wait? You don't want me to go?" I ask with a flash of hope in my eyes. Maybe this is my chance. And if she wants me to stay, I'll give up everything

"No. I mean, you can go. We'll just call each other isn't it? I'll miss you, that's for sure" she says with a small smile

Want to leave everything now? Pathetic!

My subconscious taunts.

Very pathetic for me to think that maybe for a moment, just a tiny bit moment, she'll want me to stay. What she doesn't know is I'm leaving tonight...

Gideon's POV
"I know what you've done" I say with a smirk over the phone

"I've done nothing. I don't even know what you're talking about. Who are you anyway?" The caller says, such a good pretender

"Please teach me how to act like you. I'm impressed." I say

"Look. I don't know who you are, so leave me alone and don't call my phone again else I'll get you arrested" he says and I laugh to myself

"That's not how the game is played honey bunny. Think you can get away with murder so easily? You better be joking. Be expecting my call" I say and hung up

The game just began!

Detia's POV
After class I pick up all of my stuff and make my way out of publishing, I spot my car and drive off to Stark Holdings Inc. As I get closer to the gigantic and massive building, I keep thinking, should I tell him. Does he to know about Annabel? Or should I wait and sort this out myself?
Oh God help me!

I park my car and get out, walking to the front desk I greet Kimberly, the secretary.

"Hello Kimberly"

"Hello Detia. How are you" she asks, her scrutinizing gaze looking at me up and down as if she can't believe what's she's seeing. It's just me people. Jeez!

"I'm fine and I hope you are too" I say and roll my eyes, walking off. I get on the elevator and walk to Jace's office.

I open the door and see a woman straddling his lap while he tries to push her off.

"Some Yolandas just don't understand the 'I don't want you language'" I say loud enough for them to hear and they snap their head towards me, Jace looking at me, trying to explain with his eyes that is not what is seems. While I stand with my back on the wall and my arms crossed, one foot on the wall.

"So this bitch is the reason why you've been ignoring?" She says. Look at her, here I am trying to play cool and she's being the bitch she is.

"Get up from there" I say in a low voice that gives me shudders myself

"Where?" She asks smirking

"Look whore, I'm not the type of woman who spill blood and pull extensions over men, use your head. I won't say it again. Get up from there" I say and she does so, anyone would with my stare

"He's mine and he will always want me, you're only tempor-"

I've heard enough.

I cut her off, "Tsk, quit the shenanigans. No one's watching neither do they have time for it. It'll be really cool if you get your skanky, slutty, whore ass, out of my boyfriend's office" I say, still with the same position I have on the wall

She huffs and walks out, I look at Jace as he sits in his chair, tense.

You got it coming boy

"Look it's not what you think-

I raise my hand and stop him from talking, "I have a headache coming up, today has been a lot of drama more than I can take, I'd like to get to work, sir" I say and move over to my desk

When did my life get so dramatic?!
