   "How was the bid?" asked Jaden and Bryce when I went to cafe  that they are sitting. "Jaden can you go there and ask for the final decision?" I said sitting next to Bryce. "And please come back with Avani, told her I wanted to buy her a drink to celebrate my victory." He left, I ordered a cherry cola.

  "You sure you're gonna win?" asked Bryce.

"Of course I'm gonna win Bryce. I don't go in a war if I'm not sure I'm gonna win." I sipped my cherry cola while Jaden and Avani coming in. Jaden's sadness was on his face, Avani was smiling with the enjoy of victory.

"Looks like..." Bryce started to talking but I interrupted him.

"I won.It looks like I'm the winner." I said.

Avani sat on a chair. "Oh, cherry cola, your favorite. But this time it will be your most hated drink till forever."

I just smiled. She looked at Bryce. "Looks like she is still thinking she won." said Avani pointing me.

"I won,Avani." I said.

She laughed evilly.

"No, Lana, we lost, the company is Avani's." said Jaden.

I laughed. "Really?"

"Yes bitch, I bought a whole company." said Avani.

I smiled, sipped my cherry cola then went serious.
"No Avani, this company was about to burst up. All you bought is just debts and taxs you can't pay."

"What?" she suprised.

Jaden smiled. "You lost it on purpose.How kind of devil you are?"

"Avani deserved it. Hope she can pay all this debts, I don't want to see my friend in the jail.I've been there once, wasn't my best day." I said.

"You ruined my life, I hate you, I fucking hate you. Beware Lana, I'm gonna kill you in your sleep." Avani yelled and left the cafe.

Bryce wrapped his arm around my waist. "I fucking love you."

I kissed him. "I love you too."

———-

"You literally did it, huh?" asked Blake while Bryce was popping the champagne in the backyard of Sway House.

"Yes bitch and we are celebrating this." said Griffin.

"Wish Kio was here too." said Anthony. I felt that.

"Just call and invite him.And Riley too." I said. "It would be rude if we don't invite Riley."

"Yes, call him." said Bryce. "Apparently Lana missed him."

"It's not something like that." I said.

"Yeah, yeah I'm sure it's not something like that." yelled Bryce. "I'm tired of you ran to him in everytime you see a open door."

"Stop that bullshit." I yelled too. "Do you have to fuck every happy moments I had?"

"You're still obsessed with Kio, he doesn't even give a fuck about you, just let him go." he yelled.

Josh put his hand to Bryce's shoulder to calm him down. Bryce pushed his hand back swearing.

"Then you let me go." I yelled. "I don't give a fuck about you too, told you million times I hate you."

"Wait what?" asked Blake.

"There is no such a chance for you to leave." Bryce yelled.

"Cause you're a dickhead motherfucker. I hate you Bryce, I literally hate you." I headed to home.

Bryce threw the champagne bottle to the wall and he kept yelling swearing. I went to my room, his room actually. I packed all my clothes, Jaden came to my room. "Lana you can't leave." he said. "Today I heard him while he was talking with Josh. He was extremely happy, he said today for the first time you said him i love you. He thought you really fell in love with him. This is not the right time for leave."

I heard someone is coming to room. "You are right." I said. "I can't leave now." Then I whispered to Jaden. "Someone is coming."

I started to talk louder. "It hurts that he is accusing me being still in love with Kio when Bryce was the only one I love."

"Yeah, I know that hurts." said Jaden. "Mads did it to me, remember she was thinking I'm into you."

"Why I always fall in love with the ones that could break my heart?" I saw Bryce is standing behind the door, stupid, don't you think I could see you?

"I never thought you could fall in love with Bryce." said Jaden, I guess he saw Bryce too.

"But it happened. I wish I didn't but I did." I said crying. "Can you leave me alone Jaden?"

"Okay but I will come to check you one hour later." he said and kissed my cheek, then he left the room.

A few minutes after Bryce came in. I was still fake crying. He sat on the bed, I wasn't looking at him.

"Lana can we talk?" he asked.

"About what?" I asked. "I'm really tired of hearing your cruel words."

"Lana I'm sorry, I thought..." I interrupted him. "You thought what, Bryce?"

"I never meant that. And I don't understand why you are this mad if you don't love me. You were the one who told me that you hate me and love Kio."

"Change is a powerful thing." I said.

"So are you telling me that you love me?" asked Bryce.

"I never said that."

Bryce smiled. "No you did, you told me today, in the cafe. We were alone, just you, me and Jaden and you told me that you love me."

I smiled. "It was fake."

"It wasn't." said Bryce. "You said that after Avani left, we were alone."

"Okay." I said. "Yes, I said that. Wish I never did."

"Nope." said Bryce. "I'm sorry, I never thought that you could love me."

"Me either." I said.

"You made me the happiest person in the world." said Bryce hugging me, then he kissed me, I kissed him back.
