( I HATE THIS CHAPTER, IT NEEDS EDITING! )

The songs of the birds, The sound of the winds and the homely scent of newly baked bread made me open my eyes, adjusting to the bright sunlight through my white French windows. I got up on my elbows and stretched my numb limbs, Moving the flannel away from my body and hopping out.

Another useless and boring day awaited me, but, I have lots to prepare for the day, living alone made me self-dependent and confident, I took out my phone and decided to scroll through the social media, My fingers swiping through the tender glass as my eyes read every article about that very person, I really don't use them, but this time, I have a reason to do this, Eric Carter, I had to know who he was, his mysterious aura ignited my curiosity.

I need to know who he is, how everyone knows him and I don', how can I be such a fool? I raced my brain, Nope! I don't remember such a person .. ever! I haven't heard that name in my life, that made me cringe, I don't know anything outside my little home. Because by the articles I read now, he ruled this very business world.

I stopped my reading when I saw a particular site that had my name written in bold, My breath paced as I scrolled through every article about me, And everything lead me to  Eric Carter kissing me in the middle of a bustling city, I felt my heart clench and my eyes slowly fill, How did get myself into such a mess? I had such a pretty normal and beautiful life, and within the snap of Carter's fingers, poof! Everything is gone!

I wiped my tears from the back of my palm and trotted into the bathroom, I sniffed with pain as the warm water seeped into my skin. A vain attempt to relax my mind.

 I got out as quickly as possible and, grabbed a yellow sundress that went well with my orange scarf, tying my auburn locks into a high pony, I grabbed my bag and slung it across my shoulders, and was ready to go.

♡ ♡ ♡

As soon I stepped out of my hostel and started walking through and between the busy streets bustling with people doing their daily chores, a particular man in his mid-forties came rushing towards me, I tried my best to don the gentlest smile I had ever given.

'' Oh, I know you! You are the mystery girl who kissed the famous Eric Carter!'' he exclaimed chuckling pointing at me, his eyes in such awe that I cringed internally, It seemed like I was a Kardashian walking through New York.

I nearly choked on my saliva hearing this, My eyes shooting at the man with horror, what does that supposed to mean? I became so famous in just a day! My inner palms started getting sweaty with nervousness, social anxiety was getting the worse out of me.

A forced smile touched my face to hide my inner turmoil, Fuck you, Carter!

''You must be mistaken kind sir, have an amazing day'' I stuttered, tugging my sundress down I started to run with all the strength I had, My palms covered my face as I ran between people, being a slow runner I tripped and fell a few times but I managed to make my way into the university.

♡ ♡ ♡

Every second was a nightmare, I sat by the tree beside the university, I hugged my palms to give warmth to my numb and cold hands, the chilly winter made my teeth clatter, I noticed that every person that passed by me, passed strange looks, some in awe, some adoration, some with disgust and mostly jealousy, My lips quivered with the inner pain I felt within.

'' I still don't get it? What did The Eric Carter see in you? Your ugly puny self? Look at me, You are no match for me ..'' I heard Margaret's bitchy voice out of nowhere, wearing a dress that barely covered her breasts, Or should I see fake breasts? Just made out of Plastic! She was such a fake ass! Why can't she mind her own business?

I never get angry but now she is getting onto my nerves, Fury was coursing through my veins despite being the calmest person you could see around the block, But such insult? I agree that I am not beautiful or Kim K with a huge ass, But I am presentable at least! She mustn't say such cruel words at any girl, every girl is beautiful just the way she is and I love myself!

''He saw my goodness and my purity you jealous whore! And he is my Boyfriend, what are you gonna do about it! Are you going to hit me? Then go on, let me see what you can do '' I seethed, I never knew from where I got this much strength to shout at the most powerful girl in our university, I knew consequences will come following me, But I had self-respect.

I slashed my hair and walked away, my face red with raw fury, But then again tears filled my eyes, I felt tears fill my eyes, I had enough of this! I had enough of insults, being taken advantage of and considered a weakling!

♡ ♡ ♡

As I reached my house, I jumped onto my bed, my body bouncing with the impact and I  started crying suddenly, my salty tears marking my white duvet, I feel so alone, vulnerable and pathetic, From the start, am always alone, but today, I felt worse.

Curse that Eric Carter for ruining my life! I wish I never got out for buying those groceries yesterday otherwise I would never have met him, bumped into him and kissed him! Oh Lord please save me! Why no mercy for me? I lost my parents too early and is stuck with cruel foster parents and adding to the list of misery, this?

I decided not to drown in my own tears and decided to take a stroll out on the park, but with my face hidden, I need to breathe freely so badly without getting recognised, Curse the irony.

I took out my long scarf and covered my face with it and stepped out, tumbling and kicking the stones that lay on the sandy alleyway, My gaze was fixed on my peach coloured slippers, One old woman walked towards me and I froze, No No! Not Again! Please let her not see me. I had enough of this shitty fame.

''Child I guess I saw you somewhere'' she started making my eyes become saucers, That would be an understatement! 

'' No No my lady, You did not!'' saying this I walked away from that place as soon I can, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, bumping in between crowds of people, branches of small trees slapping my hands, whisps of my hair hitting my face.

And after a while the sunset and the city became darker than usual, dark clouds started dancing in the skies giving it a gloomy touch, And I felt a drop of water on my face, I looked up and within nanoseconds, it started raining heavily, I did not move, I stood allowing the rain to wash away my fear, loneliness and anger,  my hands in the air, My auburn locks and my sundress was now dripping, like an extra layer of skin.

Slowly people started disappearing and I was alone in these streets, I am always the loner so I decided to be alone, Then it became colder, I wrapped my hands around me,  a vain attempt to give warmth to my frozen figure as the icy water cascaded down my skin.

That's when a sleek black limo parked beside me,  As it was foggy I could not make out the man who was striding towards me, he was nearly 6'2 with a black suit that was now dripping wet and amazing muscles protruding and that's when I saw those sapphire blue eyes boring into me, making me freeze .. Eric Carter!

♡ ♡ ♡

Odette's body went numb when he saw the towering figure of Eric, even if it was jaw-dropping, she would have shivered, in the eerie darkness his blue orbs shimmered a thousand stars.

''Mr Carter? What brings you here?'' she asked with that ounce of courage she had in her body, her doe eyes squinting due to the droplets blurring her vision.

Eric's beautiful lips formed into a smirk as he studied her beautiful face from her honey-brown orbs, her straight nose, her plump pink lips and her auburn dripping hair. The water cascaded down her face.

'' I came here for you Odette ..'' he whispered, for the first time she heard his voice and it was so intimidating and powerful that it send waves of electricity down her spine making her already pale face lose more blood, His lips left words of crisp British Accent that made her drool over it, the words rolled off his tongue so beautifully.

''M-Me?'' she stuttered all her courage draining through the drops of water that washed her body, his hypnotizing her and driving her into a land of fantasy. For once she thought this man was sculptured by artists from heaven.

She felt his palm move a tuft of her wet auburn locks away from her face and tuck it behind her ear, she shuddered under his touch, he placed his thumb under her chin and made her look up into his eyes, unknowingly she felt drawn into the web of intoxication drafted by him.

'' Wh-Why did you kiss me??'' she asked boldly shoving his hand off her face, her teeth gritting with rage.

He mockingly raised an eyebrow, his infamous smirk still playing on his lips, irking her more.

'' Aah!'' he exclaimed '' Perfect question sweetheart, I even don't know that answer to this question'' he laughed, his laughter was so beautiful and deep that it was melody to her ears, like the harps of a celestial angel.

She gazed onto his face, not even blinking once. Drinking his dark beauty in. Her eyes scanned his face, every inch of his skin.

''Cause I even don't know what I saw in you!'' his sweetness disappeared into a rage as he held her and pasted her harshly onto the pole making her wince by the contact because by the pole's cold metal surface, she opened her eyes to see him still holding her shoulders and looking into her eyes, more like studying her face unravelling her soul, peeking into every piece of beauty on her skin, she gulped softly as his eyes glittered under the rain.

''Mr Carter, you are crossing the line ..'' she whispered, her honey browns gazing intently at the drops of water that cascaded from the tip of his nose, over his lips and downwards, her cheek burning crimson.

Eric raised an eyebrow in amazement ''So you really don't know who I am don't you Odette Willow?'' he asked balancing his hand on the pole making her trapped in between him, her hands tied at the back, holding on to it for dear life.

''No I don't Mr Carter, all I know is that you are some super-famous billionaire and-'' she whispered, unable to breathe as he came closer to her face. With the warmth of his breath fanning her wet face, she shuddered with the proximity.

''You are right'' was all she heard as he pressed his lips onto her, making her freeze, her eyes widened in horror as she tried to push him off all in vain because he pressed harder onto her making her feel like jelly. Waves of pure ecstasy passed through her as she cursed herself for loving this.

She whimpered as his fingers grazed up her waist painfully slow, feeling every inch of her skin that was held inside those layers of hindrance, his other hand balancing on the pole behind him, her hands were cold and frozen and she let him relish her, he slowly left her lips, giving them a quick peck again,  pants of fog escaping their mouth, a smirk playing on his face mischievously.

She looked at him in utter fury, her palms formed into fists, with all her strength she pushed him away, he stumbled backwards.

'' How dare you Mr Carter!!'' she screamed running a few paces away from him, he smirked in astonishment, his hands in the air in a teasing way

Huffing like a little child, she walked away splashing water everywhere.
