Billionaire Admits Mistake After Treating Dating as a Deal

Violet Ashlock Flashback.. "I'm sorry.. I don't date boys like you." I smiled arrogantly at the jet black haired man. I gestured to him to go and walked back to my table. I sat down and crossed my leg sipping my wine. "Until when you will have that high standard? You won't get a guy with that attitude.." My cousin Ashley said and I rolled my eyes. "I'm not the type of girl who dates random people." "Oh come on.. Where the fun is that? Where's still young.." "So you mean I should sleep around?" I asked her and she smirked. "I'm not telling you to sleep around.. I'm telling you to have fun. You're too proper.. too classy.. too.. arrogant." She hissed looking at me and I laughed dryly. "Excuse me?" I asked her disbelief. "Live life a little bit.." "I'm living my life." "Oh come on! Just because Bryan cheats, it doesn't mean your world stops here." I hissed when she mentioned Bryan. Bryan was my boyfriend and he cheated on me with some weird nerd girl. Why would he cheat with a person who is the opposite of me? Weirdo. "Stop being too classy.. too arrogant.. too proper.. Until when? Boys hate this attitude.." She said and I rolled my eyes bored. "I'm not interested in dating these days." "Why are you taking dating for something serious? Have fun! Date, make out, and you know.. do crazy things." Ashley said and I was speechless. "You're still young.. Settling down must be one the bottom or on the last of your list. Come on! I'll show you how to have fun!" She smirked and I looked at her suspiciously. She took my hand and pulled me out from the restaurant. She pulled me to her car and drove back to her apartment. "What are we doing here?" "I hate that you always wear long dresses.. I mean.. I know it's backless and things but girl.. You need to show your thighs and sexy legs!" She looked at me from head to toe. "I love this kind of dress.. It's elegant and really.." "Too proper and just.. princessy.. you're not a princess so stop being like this." She said as she opened her closet. She was looking for something while I looked at the mirror checking if there's something wrong with me. "Ashley, there's nothing wrong with me." "You completely live your life.. like a princess. You're no princess girl.. Can you flirt? Do you know how to flirt?" She asked and I looked at her weirdly. "Why do I have to flirt?" "Violet! Are you kidding me? What are you in 1850?" She looked at me disbelief and threw me a really short balck dress. "This is too revealing.." "It's not.. You know we need to have fun." "Fun where?" "You know Izac?" "Yeah.. Why?" "Well he's having a party so we need to go.." "I'm not invited." I said innocently and she laughed out loud. "Gosh.. What did your parents do to you?" "Ashley.. We come from the same family in case you forget.." I hissed and she chuckled. "But you're like an old lady while I'm enjoying my young lifestyle." She smirked and I rolled my eyes. "Go and change! Your makeup is okay.. all I need to change is your lipstick." She pushed me to the bathroom. I changed my dress and looked at the mirror. Well.. I never expect that I will look good in short sexy dresses. My parents educated me to be proper.. elegant.. princess-likely.. so I'm used to it. I mean.. I kinda like the change.. I walked out and she smirked looking at me. "See.. You look good!" "Yeah.. maybe." "Change your lipstick and let's go!" She said and I nodded. I walked to the mirror and put the red lipstick. I looked at myself and I felt like a different person. "Let's go." She said and I followed her to her car. She drove to the place and I can't believe that Izac throw a really big party. "Let's go inside." She smirked and I nodded. We walked inside and guess what.. we both found Izac straight away. "Izac!" Ashley hugged him and he smiled widely. "Hey Ashley, how are you? And oh! Hello Vi.. You look stunning.. and different.." He said and I shook his hand instead of hugging. Ashley chuckled and gestured to me to hug him. I looked at her weirdly and she pushed me. I hugged Izac. "Great party." I smiled and released the hug fast. "Thanks.. and enjoy." He gestured to us to get inside. We walked in and I saw a lot of guys looking at me with lust. I felt uncomfortable. "Mingle around and flirt.." "I don't know how to flirt!" I hissed. She pulled me and we both sat down on an empty sofa. "Look at them sexily and just.. take control. Seduce them.. and you know.." "I cannot! Ashley.. this is a bad idea." When I said that there 2 handsome men sat beside us. My breath got hitch when a light brown haired guy looked at me, smirking. "Try! I'm leaving you!" Ashley said and I turned to her in panic. She smirked and left me alone with 2 men alone. I moved to the edge of the sofa keeping my arrogant attitude.. I hate this. I hate Ashley now. "Hello beautiful." I turned to the guy beside me coldly and looked at him like he's the most disgusting thing in the world. "Well.. what a bitch." He left and I rolled my eyes. Suddenly the other guy moved beside me. "Not interested in the party?" The guy asked and I turned to him. "No.. not my thing." "Austin Portwalt." He took out his hand and put it in front of me. "Violet Ashlock." I shook his hand. "Well.. Since you're not enjoying this. Wanna go upstairs and just drink?" He asked and I turned to him. I looked straight into his eyes and I never felt attracted just by looking at someone's eyes but Austin is just.. different. He smirked at me and put his hand in front of me and I took it. He pulled me up and we walked upstairs to the balcony. He took a bottle of vodka for us to enjoy it. We started to talk about our boring lives and we clicked. Suddenly I remembered Ashley's word to flirt. I looked at Austin as I leaned my back to the balcony. I sipped my drink and moved closer to him. Before I can do something to flirt with him.. he kissed me first. I swear.. I never felt electrified like this and it's just the best feeling ever. So this is what Ashley call fun.. well.. I'm starting to like it. Austin slipped his arm around my waist wrapping my body tightly to his. He kissed me deeply when suddenly he stopped. He looked at me, smirking.. he released his arms and I looked at him disbelief. He turned his body walking away leaving me alone without any words. He left me.. I felt used and dirty but I liked the sensation that he gave me. I drank all my drink in one shot and walked down trying to find Austin again but he left for good.. making me so pissed and angry. I still can feel his touch and his kiss.. gosh.. even Bryan can't give me that. I turned to a random guy and kissed him but no.. I never get someone who can give me the same feeling that Austin gives me. Flashback end.. From that moment, I started to love my young life. I started to enjoy it and slowly became a 'slut'. They always think that I sleep around but the truth is that I still have my V card. I just act like a bitch.. and still want to find a guy who can give me the same sensation that Austin gives me but I never found one.. I became interested in Austin from that point but Austin never try to get close to me or contact me. Which is frustrating.. I'm not the type of woman who will go for guys first so I won't make a move until he makes a move which will.. never.. happened.. Damn it!

Austin Portwalt "What's with the face?" Blake asked. "You know my dad is trying to arrange a marriage with Tatiana." I hissed as I poured my drink to the glass. "You still like Rose huh?" "You know I like her a lot, Blake. You know she will always be with Max in the end. There won't be hope for me anyway." "So what's the plan?" "What plan?" I asked and sipped my drink. "I know you won't get married to Tatiana.. so you need to find someone as your fling.." "Just like Jean?" I raised my eyebrows. "She was.. not anymore and you know that." Blake said chuckling. "Yeah you completely fall in love with her. It's crazy and you know I won't end up like you." "I was like that.. but here I am eating my own words." "And I won't be like you idiot!" I hissed and he laughed. "So what's your plan?" "I need to find someone. I need someone who can help me making deals." "Austin.. You're already a billionaire.. Why still crazily making deals? You already reach a high level.." "You know I love working and you know I'm a workaholic right? Why ask again?" I asked and gestured to him to pour me a drink. He poured it for me. "Someone in mind?" "No one.." "How about the girl that you told me.. like a few months ago?" "Who?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him weirdly. "I think her name is.. uhmm Viola? It started with a V." I rolled my eyes hearing that girls name. "Funny.." "Well you mentioned her name when you're drunk so.." "She's just nothing so ju-" "I don't think she's nothing.. You never mention a girl's name when you're drunk." "Blake.. I've been with a lot of girls and I don't think it's the first time for me to-" "I know you so well, Austin. You know that." "Well you need to help me think of a plan to get rid of that Tatiana.." "Dude she's hot." "Go get her and leave Jean." "Funny dude.." "She might be hot but I hate dumb girls." "Tell me about this Viola girl.." He mentioned it up again and I sighed. "She's just the girl that I met in Izac's party." "And then?" "We hooked up a little." "And then?" "Done." I said and Blake laughed. "Dude.. what the hell!" "You're boring.. I want to go to Ellie's party." Speaking of Ellie's party, I asked Violet to be there and I'm 100% sure she will be there. "When will you go back to Miami?" "Tomorrow, why?" "Nah.. It's just no fun that you're far away." "What are you crazy for? Since when you become so clingy?" I hissed and he laughed. "You know why dude.. We've been inseparable since we were kids." "Jean changed you and I hate it!" I smacked his arm and walked out from the building. I got into my car and drove towards Ellie's place. I parked my car and I walked inside Ellie's house. I hugged and greeted her. I sat down on the sofa that faced the door in case Violet came. I sat down and talked to my friend to catch up. "Why are you looking around? Looking for a prey?" Cal asked and I chuckled dryly. "He's looking for someone not hunting you idiot." Noah said and I rolled my eyes. I sipped on my alcohol. "Who?" "None of your business." I said and I looked at my watch. It's 1 a.m and she's still not coming. I stood up and walked out. Suddenly my phone rang and I took it out of my pocket. It's Tatiana and I rolled my eyes. "Hello." "Austin baby.." "What?" I answered bored. "When will you come back to Miami? I miss you." "Next week." "Oh good.. I miss you so much baby." "Yeah whatever." I ended the call and when I was going to turn off my phone, Blake called me. "Why?" "Dude, I forgot to tell you that I got an invitation to Melberick's business event." "When?" "Tomorrow." "You're an idiot!" "Sorry dude.. I just saw it at home." "What time tomorrow?" "I'll send the pictures to you." He ended the call. I got into the car and suddenly a text message came. I opened it because it's an unknown number. Disappointed? See you tomorrow at the event. V.A I scoffed looking at the message. I deleted it and drove away from the party venue. Suddenly when I was driving.. an idea popped out from my head. I pulled over my car at the side and started to look for Violet's profile on the internet. I smiled widely when I read her profile. It's not a strange thing that she will attend the event tomorrow. She will be my best asset to get deals. I can use her and just pretend that I like her.. she's attract to me anyway. I know that so well. I continued to drive my car back to my apartment again. I walked inside and started to look at my pile of work. I want to make more deals and deals. I'm that crazy for work because work will never disappointed you like love do. I fell in love with Rose and here I am. I need to accept the fact that she's with Max. She will never be with me no matter how hard I try. I will never be with her so.. let's just suck the fact of settling down. I froze my heart crazily and I will never fall in love or even settling down in the future. I walked to my printer and looked at the files that I print. I smirked looking at Violet's profile in my hand. Use her and throw her..

Violet Ashlock I looked at myself through the mirror to check if everything is perfect or not. I smiled and turned my body around to see the whole look. Today I'm wearing a really beautiful white jumpsuit. I tied my hair on the lower back and put my makeup on. I sprayed some perfume and took my white clutch with me. I've already put my phone, money, cards and everything I need inside. I walked towards my car and went straight to the event. It's a business event, it's more like a gathering between business people. I bet you all wondering why I'm here? Well I'm Ashlock one and only heirest. Ashlock is one of the biggest oil companies along with the 7 Gold Lifes not just that.. We have 5 assembled factories for phones and cars in China. Today my parents won't attend the event because they will be in Greece having their holiday. I was the one who suggested that because they always work. They're getting old.. so they need it. I got out from the car and told my chauffeur not to wait for me. He can go home straight away. I walked inside the venue. "Ms. Ashlock, it's good to see you and you look stunning as always." "Well thank you Mr. Beginburk. You look handsome as always. How are you?" I smiled at him. "I'm good, you know I'm getting old and old everyday." "Oh Mr. Beginburk, you're not old!" "I told you.." Will joined and Will here is my partner for a lot of my business. He's a really good and fun man to be with. He's going to get married next month too. "Oh.. William.. Speaking of William.. How's the farm going?" He asked. "Farm?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. "Yeah, he just opened a new division." "Yeah.. It's just open like 2 months ago and it's going up quite well." He said and I smiled. "Everything will always work with you.. He's smart.. right Mr. Beginburk?" I asked and the old man nodded. "See." "Well.. Thankyou.." I left them talking and I mingled with other people as well until someone decided to slip his arm around my waist. "Get it off from my waist, I don't talk and deal with fuck boys." I said in a really arrogant tone. I didn't even need to look at him to know who he is. "Well.. You wound me, Violet." "Call me Ms. Ashlock. We're not in a term where we can call each other's first name, Mr. Portwalt." I said in a really annoying tone towards him. I walked away and tried to mingle with others but Austin kept following me which is annoying. "Violet!" I turned to see my old highschool friend James. "James!" I hugged him tightly. "Hey.. how are you?" He asked and I chuckled. "Been good, how about you?" "Well.. I'm great." I said and suddenly Austin slipped his arm around my waist again. I turned to him and looked at him coldly. "Who are you?" "I'm Violet's friend." "Let's get a drink and talk outside." I pushed Austin aside and held James's hand. I pulled him away and not even caring about Austin. He's a jerk. Me and James talked a little bit and catched up on a lot of things. It's been a long time since I saw him.. 2 years.. maybe. We walked inside the venue again and apparently he has to talk to a few investors here and there so I let him go instead keeping him all night. "Alone?" I rolled my eyes and sipped my wine. "Well.. a cold shoulder again from the princess.." I turned to him and suddenly he pinned me against the wall. My eyes widened and looked at him in disbelief. "What are you doing?" I hissed and he smirked. "Well.. I was a little disappointed that you didn't come yesterday." He said and leaned closer to me. I was so captivated by his eyes and my breath got hitch. I swear.. no man can make me feel like this. I've been trying to find someone who can give me this feeling but no one can give me this beside Austin. "I bet you fuck another girl so why do you even expecting me to come anyway?" I said coldly. "Violet.. I was waiting for you.." What?! "What kind of bullsh-" He cut me by crashing his lips to mine. My body totally numb because of it and just.. totally melted. I kissed him back and he pulled me closer. I realized that this isn't right.. I know that Austin is not interested in me but suddenly.. I tried to push him away but he kissed me more passionately. He slowly trailed down to my neck, making me moan. Gosh.. thank God we're not inside. "Austin.." "Hmm?" "Austin.. We need to-" He kissed my lips again shutting me up and I was so drowned by his kisses until I didn't even care. "You look so beautiful tonight." He said between kisses. I put my glass of wine aside and cupped his face to stop him. "I'm Violet.. if you're drunk and mistaken me by som-" "Violet.. I'm sober. Completely sober.." He smirked and kissed me again but I stopped him. "What's with you?" I asked because I felt weird again. He took my hand and pulled me outside the building. He asked the valet chauffeur to take his car. "Austin.. Wh-" "Babe.. Stop asking me that topic. I just realized that I've been slipping away from a one beautiful, smart and proper girl so I won't let you slip from my eyes again." He said that in a really sexy tone and his eyes looked straight to mine making me.. melt.. oh boy.. "You haven't eaten right?" He asked and I shook my head. "We'll go to my apartment and I'll cook for you." His apartment? My breath got hitch thinking what will happen if a guy and a woman in one apartm- okay! Shut it! Think straight Violet! "Let's go."

Violet Ashlock I rested my head on my hand and looked at Austin dreamy. He rolled his sleeves up and started to cook. That was the most sexiest thing that I've ever seen. "Do I look sexy?" He asked suddenly and I slipped my elbow. I drank my wine and looked away. "Don't be shy, Violet." He smirked and I sighed. I was trying to control myself because I love this feeling so much. I drank all the wine in my glass and got up from the seat. I walked towards his apartment's balcony to get some fresh air because my body's circulation is not working. I took a really deep breath.. and let it out slowly. I closed my eyes and just let the cold breeze hit me. Suddenly Austin slipped his arms around my waist from the back. "Austin.." I released his arm and turned to him. "The food is ready.. let's eat." He smiled and held my hand. He pulled me inside and gestured me to sit. "This looks so good.." I said. "I hope you'll like it." He made carbonara spaghetti and salmon steak. "I think I will love it." I smiled at him and he gestured to me to eat. I sliced the salmon and put it into my mouth. I looked at him and smiled widely. "It's really good.." "Well.. Good to know that you like it." "Speaking of this.. Why?" I put my fork and knife down. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean 'why'?" "You suddenly act so nice and even kiss me and-" "You know that we both have this attraction, you felt it right?" He asked and my jaw dropped on the floor. "I don't want to push it away no more.. I want us to be real." He said and that got me speechless. He moved his seat beside me, I can't take my eyes off him. I felt so happy but I feel.. suspicious too. "Feel that?" He asked when he held my hand and I nodded weakly. He leaned to me slowly and I closed my eyes. Suddenly he laughed and I opened my eyes. "There's something on the side of your mouth." He said and I felt so embarrassed. My face turned red and I glared at him. I continued to eat. "Are you mad?" He asked but I ignored him. I ate the food slowly and just glanced at him secretly. He kept his eyes on me and chuckled everytime he caught me glancing. "Violet.." He called and I still ignored him. "Violet." "I'm eat-" When I turned to him, he caught my wrist. "Beautiful.. is it good?" My breath got hitch when he said that. We both looked at each other for a while until I pulled my wrist from him. I continued to eat. "It's good." I said after finishing it. "Well.. glad that you like it. Wine?" He asked and I nodded. He poured the wine to my glass. "Thankyou for the meal.. but I think I better go." I said and got up from my chair. I gave him a really arrogant look and took my clutch. I walked towards the door when he suddenly said.. "Beautiful.. it's not free." That made me stop, I turned to him. "And what do you have in mind?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. "A date?" He asked, smirking and I laughed arrogantly. "No thankyou." I said and turned my body around again towards the door. "Playing hard to get?" He asked and I ignored him. I walked out from his apartment and went down to the lobby. I looked at the time and walked out from the building. "It's late, let me take you home." I smirked hearing Austin said that. I think this boy up for something. "No thankyou.. I can get a ta-" He caught my wrist and pulled me towards him. He circled his arm around my waist. "What are yo-" "Gosh.. You really look ravishing tonight." He said and that got me good. I tried to push him away. "I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7, let's have a dinner date." I looked up to him and he smiled. "Austin.. Do you know that you're being weird? You knew that we had something at Izac's party, after that you've been avoiding me." I said truthfully. "I told you that I know we had something but I was afraid that it might turn into something.. you know.. relationship.." He said that and I raised my eyebrows. "And why do you wan-" "Because I can't hold it anymore. I want you.. I really want you." That got my heart melt. "Okay fine.." I pushed him away. "Now let me take you home." He held my hand and pulled me back to the building. We went down to the basement and got into his car. "Let me." He said as he pulled the seatbelt on for me and our faces were so close to each other, it's making me blush so hard. "Let's go.. care telling me where your house is?" He asked and I nodded. He drove out from the building and I showed him the way to my house. For me it's a little bit awkward because.. you know that I kinda like this guy. It's really weird to see him having this interest in me. "The second house on the right." "Okay." I gestured my guard to open the door and Austin parked his car right in front of my house. "Thankyou." I said as I opened the seatbelt. When I was going to open the door, he stopped me and I looked at him confuse. "Is there something wrong?" I asked. "No goodnight kiss?" He asked and I chuckled. "No." I smiled and got out from his car. "Thankyou for the food and taking me home." I said and he nodded. "See you tomorrow beautiful." He said and I waved back. He drove out his car from my house and I smiled widely. I jumped excitedly and walked inside the house. I can't wait for tomorrow! I need to pick tomorrow's dress now!

Austin Portwalt "Fancy seeing you here.." My friends smirked at me and I plopped on the sofa. "Where were you? I saw you walk out earlier." Oliver asked. "I saw you with Violet Ashlock." Jeremy smirked and I just chuckled. "Hitting on her? I thought you have no interest in that girl?" "No interest? Dude are you blind? She's hot." Elijah said and I poured alcohol to my glass. "I'm using her." I said honestly. "Nice thinking." Kane said. "Are you sure that you're just using her? How about the arrange marriage?" Oliver asked. "Nah.. I skip that." I said and sipped my alcohol. "You literally have 2 hot girls around you.. dude.. have the both of them." Eljiah said and I shook my head. "I don't want to settle down.. and the both of them want that." I hissed "Dude.. Settling down with a hot girl is a definition of heaven." Kane said. "Then you get her.." "I want Violet." Elijah smirked and I gestured to him to take her. "Really? Can I have her now?" "After I use her.. she's all yours." I said and sipped my drink. After that we started to talk about our business. We're businessmen, our topic will always be business,money, deals and girls. "I'm out of here.." I said after that, I decided to go home and rest. The next day.. I woke up and sat on my desk to work. After that I took a shower and decided to make a reservation for tonight's date. Gosh, impressing a girl like Violet will be quite hard. I believe that she's a type of girl who loves romance and fairytales. This will be hard.. but at least I will get a lot of advantages in the future for being with her. I called a restaurant and reserved a place there after that I went back to work again. Until the clock showed 6 p.m, I quickly took a shower and went out from my apartment. I drove down to Violet's place. They opened the door and I parked my car inside. I got out of my car at the same time as Violet walked out from the house. She looked beautiful as always.. elegant.. classy.. as always her eyes.. That's the most captivating part of her. "Hello, Austin." She greeted me and I smiled. "Hello beautiful, ready to go?" I asked as I walked to the passenger side. She smiled widely and nodded. I opened the door for her. She got in and I closed the door. I walked to the other side and got in. "So where are we going today?" She asked as she put on her seatbelt. "I've booked a restaurant and then we can go to the place that you want to go." I said. "Oh okay.." "Any place in mind?" A girl like her, maybe shopping.. or cafes.. "Can we go to Brooklyn Bridge later on?" I raised my eyebrows as I started the car. "Brooklyn bridge?" "Yeah.. I always go there every night. It helps me to release stress." "Walking along the Brooklyn bridge?" I asked. "Yeah, walk along it and sit there for hours." Well that's a little bit new.. "Oh okay, we can do that." I said as I drove out from her house. "Oh.. iPod.." She pointed at my iPod. "Go choose a song.." I bet it will be slow and romantic songs. Gosh.. I'm sleepy and I'm not in- She suddenly played loud pop songs.. Like Bang Bang by Ariana, Jessie and Nicki Minaj. Well.. at least she didn't turn on slow songs. "Your playlist is so boring." What?! "You don't have R&B songs?" She asked and I chuckled. "A classy and elegant girl like you? Hearing R&B?" I asked disbelief. "Is there something wrong with R&B?" She asked in a really disbelief tone. "Oh come on.. you girls love slow and romantic songs." "I guess you still don't know me then.." She said and then turned off the song. "Do you have allergies or something?" She asked. "Nope.. I don't. Do you?" "Nope.. I don't." At the same time, we arrived at the restaurant. We got out of the car and I walked towards her. I offered her my arm and she linked it. We walked inside together. "Reservation under Mr. Portwalt." We walked inside and sat near the window. She sat across me and the waiter offered us the menu. We chose our food and ordered it. "How work today?" I asked her and she smiled. "Quite good. Been dealing alone since my dad is currently away. How about you?" "Well.. Working inside my apartment." "Missing Miami?" She asked and I chuckled. "A little.." "Why Miami?" She asked and the most interesting part about her is that she respects people. She never touches her phone when she's talking and she always makes eye contact which is really good. I often deal with girls who keep their eyes on their phone. I know that they're talking with a lot of guys at the same time when they're with me but this girl surprises me. "Miami? Well.. my mom was born in Miami and I grew up loving the environment." I answered. "Well.. if you stress out.. all you need to do is walk out from your office." "Right.. that's why I love Miami. How about you? Why New York?" I asked. "Well.. It's never been my choice. I was born here and grew up here.. actually.. I want to live in the countryside." That surprised me again. "That's interesting.." "Yeah, me and friends went for a trip around 2 years ago to the countryside. I love it.. I just love everything about it." She said smiling widely. "It's quite surprising a girl like you want to live there.." "Everyone said that.. I'm just an ordinary girl. I mean I know that my parents taught me how to be elegant and classy and just this girl but you know.. I'm just an ordinary girl.. I'm just like everyone else." "No.. I think you're special." Those were the only honest words that came out from my mouth that night..

Violet Ashlock "When will you go back to Miami?" I asked as we walked along the Brooklyn bridge. "The day after tomorrow." He answered and I nodded. "Thankyou for the dinner, it was delicious." I smiled at him and he smiled nodding. "Glad that you like it.. so tell me why you always come here everyday?" He asked and we sat on an empty bench. "I don't like being alone. I hate being alone. That's why I always come here and enjoy seeing people come and go.. along with the view and sometimes the moon." I said and he nodded. "Did something happen in the past?" He asked and I sighed. "When I was in my 2nd year of college, I went out alone from the library to go back to my dorm. 3 men stalked me and almost raped me at that time. They took off all of my clothes and thank God my friend saved me. I know when I'm in my house.. I have guards but still.. I feel insecure." "You might get rape here too.. you're alone too." "It's an open space, Austin. At least.. there's a lot of people here besides I always come home around 8 from here." "Well.. you know that you won't be alone from now on." He said that and I turned to him. I smiled widely and turned my head back to the view. "I will come back to New York in a month." He stated. "Well.. good to hear that." "If you agree to try this.. I will come back here next week." He said and that made me turn my head to him. He smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Well.. I guess I'll see you next week." I said and he chuckled. "Glad to hear that." "Come on.. I'll take you home.. It's chilly and we have work tomorrow." He said and I nodded. We got up and he offered his hand. I took it and we walked hand in hand. I can't stop smiling.. I love this feeling. Everything just feels so right. "Thankyou for today.. really.." I said to him once again and he nodded. When we arrived at his car, he stopped me and I looked at him confused. "You surprise me today." "Hmm?" "You just surprise me in every way.." He smiled. "Well.. I'll take that as a compliment." "Because it is." I slipped my hand to his cheek, I looked at him for a moment and then I kissed his cheek. He opened the door for me and I got inside. He walked to the driver seat and got in. He started the car and drove away. "Thank You.. for today." "Stop saying thankyou." He said and I chuckled. "Sorry." I said as I opened the door. I was going to get out but he stopped me. He pulled me back in and cupped my face. He kissed me slowly.. It was sweet and just romantic. "Night." He smiled and I bit my lips completely out of my mind because of that kiss. "Night.." "Don't do that." He pointed at my lips and I chuckled. "See you.. next week.. right?" "Yeah.. See you next week." He said and waved. I waved him back and walked inside. I can't contain my happiness.. I jumped happily and walked to my room. I plopped to my bed and closed my eyes. I swear.. I'm going crazy.. I'm so happy.. gosh.. After that.. I erased my make up and went straight to sleep. The next day, I woke up and went back to work. I drove to the office and got out of my car. Suddenly a message came and it's.. Austin. Morning sunshine.. I know that I say I will see you next week but.. apparently I can't wait. Go to the brunch restaurant right in front of your office. See you there A.P My breath got hitch when I received the message, I looked around like an idiot and walked out from the building. I saw the brunch restaurant and went there. I walked inside and looked around the place. Suddenly a waiter gestured to me to go up, I walked up and there he was.. looking strikingly handsome in a suit. "Hey." I smiled and he gestured to me to sit. "Hey.. beautiful. Let's just order first." I ordered a blueberry with vanilla ice cream and he ordered a english breakfast. "I can't wait for a week.. it will kill me." He stated and damn that made me blush so hard. "How do you even know this place? I have never been here." I said as I looked at the restaurant. "I've been here with Blake and Jean." "Ah.. Blake and Jean, the cutest couple." "They're not cute.. They're quite scary." He said and I chuckled. "What do you think about settling down?" I asked looking straight to his eyes and he just looked at me with an unreadable expression. "I don't want to settle down." He said and that hit me. If this relationship continues.. it won't have any ending. "Why?" "You know why.. Violet.." He said and I nodded. "I know.. Just like every billionaire in America. Not wanting to settle down and just.. loving their bachelor life." "Don't you too? Still wanting to have fun.." "Well if I want to settle down.. I will.." I said and he looked at me with a really unreadable eyes. I know from that moment that this guy is up for something. He wants something from me.. It's pretty clear and I'm not dumb to realize it. 1. He doesn't want to settle down 2. He came to me when he clearly knew that I wanted him for a really long time 3. He's up for something Lastly.. I know he came to me to play a game.. We both know inside our hearts.. in the end.. I will be the one who lose the game.. but you know.. let's turn this table around.. shall we? Austin Portwalt.. you pick the wrong girl to play your games.. "So.. Can I stay at your place tonight?" I asked and that got him a little bit shock. "Stay at my place?" "Well.. we won't be seeing each other a week. It will kill me you.. you know.." I smiled sweetly at him. "Sure."

Violet Ashlock "How's work?" He asked as I entered his apartment with a pizza box on my hand. "You bought pizza?" "It was okay.. and yeah I bought pizza. You like it right?" I said and turned to him. "Yes.. I'm starving.. I was going to ask you if we should buy a take out." "I got you.." I smiled and waved it. I walked to the living room and opened it. I walked to the sink to wash my hands and walked back. I took off my blazer leaving me in my white shirt. I pulled up my hair into a ponytail and sat down on the ground. "Austin!" I called and he walked out from the room in his muscle tee. Gosh.. please don't tempt me.. he looks so hot in that. He walked towards me.. and looked at me confused. "What?" "Not eating at the table?" "Where the fun is that? Sit down.. can you turn on a movie?" I asked and he nodded. "What do you want to watch?" "Something like.. Thor or Spiderman.." "Got it." He turned on spiderman "Let's dig in.. I'm starving." I said and took one. I ate it while watching the movie without caring about anything. "This is good.." "Is it? Glad that you like it.. it's my favorite." I smiled to him and he chuckled nodding. I continued eating and eating and eating.. I ate 5 big slices all by myself. "That was good.." I said and turned to him. I chuckled to see there's a sauce smudged near his lips. I leaned to him and kissed it. I licked the sauce and he looked at me disbelief. "There's a sauce there.." I smiled. He put his pizza down and leaned to me. He cupped my face and kissed the side of my lips. "There's a sauce there too.." He smirked and I chuckled. I smacked his chest playfully and turned my head to the movie again. "Up for a drink?" He asked suddenly and I nodded. "Yeah.." I said and he got up. He walked to the kitchen taking a bottle of alcohol along with the glasses. I decided to open my shirt because it's damn hot. I'm left with my white tank top. He sat down again and looked at me with his lustful eyes. I took the bottle and opened it. I smirked and took the glasses too from him. I poured it and gave it one to him. "Close those mouth babe.. you'll catch a fly." I sipped the alcohol and turned my head to the movie again. I sipped my alcohol slowly and turned to Austin. He was already looking at me. He put his glass down and took mine down. He leaned slowly to me and kissed my lips slowly. I moved to his lap and circled my legs around his hips. He cupped my face to kiss me deeper. We both stopped and looked at each other. "Be my girlfriend?" He said and I smirked. I know what he's up to now. "Yes." I smiled widely and circled my arms around his neck. He kissed me again and there's a lot going on in my mind. Let's the two of us play this game.. even though I know I'll be the one who loses in the end. Suddenly his doorbell rings.. I got up and Austin cursed under his breath. "Take the door babe.." I said and he nodded. He walked to the door and opened it. Revealing Jean and Blake.. I put on my shirt because it will be inappropriate to greet someone just in my tank top. "Well.. you didn't answer your phone so I decided-" Blake smirked when he saw me. He looked at Austin. "Oh.. Violet right?" "Yes, I'm Violet." I shook their hands. "You know her?" "Well.. I met her once when she's with my friend." "Yes.. Zenny." "Aren't you going to let us in?" Blake looked at Austin smirking big time. "You just interrupt my time with my girlfriend, dumbass." "Oh!" Blake and Jean looked at Austin in shock. "Girlfriend?" Blake teased him. "Shut up and just come in.. What's up?" Austin said and they walked inside. "Spiderman huh?" Jean asked Austin and I raised my eyebrows. "Shut it, Jean." "Oh yeah.. This is the file that you want. You workaholic." Blake threw a file towards him and he caught it. "So.. is he sweet?" Jean asked and I chuckled. "Yeah.. I guess.. we just hooked up not long ago." "Aww that's okay, me and Blake started fast too." She said and I nodded. "Babe.. let's go! I don't want to get a bruise tomorrow." Blake said, making us laugh. Jean linked her arm to Blake's. "Wear protection.." Blake winked to both of us. "Get lost, you idiot!" Austin hissed and kicked Blake's ass. They're bestfriend and I'm aware about that. "I'll see you in LA.. baby.." Blake teased him again by touching his face. "Jean.. take this idiot out." "Will do!" Jean pulled Blake out. "Bye!" They said and Austin closed the door. I chuckled and turned to him. "They're cute.. not scary.." "They're scary.. trust me." "You and Blake are best friend right?" I asked as he put his arm around my shoulder. We walked back to the sofa. "We basically grow up together in LA and then I decided to move to Miami 5 years ago. We're like brothers.. just from a different mother." "Well.. you both do look like brothers.. acting funny and joke around a lot." I said and he nodded. I leaned my head to his chest. "Sleepy?" He asked. "A little bit.. work got me good." I closed my eyes. "Let's just go rest.." He said and I shook my head. "I'm lazy to walk again.." I said and he picked me up. He walked to his bedroom and put me on his bed. "Cuddle me.." I said gesturing to him to lay beside me. He chuckled and laid beside me. I hugged him and went straight to dreamland.

Violet Ashlock Playing games in your life that you know you won't win in the end.. will pretty much hard. I know so well that I will lose in the end and even will fall in love with him. Just like I predicted.. Austin is using me completely just for work. He thinks I'm dumb for not realizing but little did he know that I'm playing along with him.. wanting to know until how far he will go. I don't know if he's dumb or what.. he never cares about me. He just took me everywhere and everytime he made a deal. He's playing games with in a really obvious way. "Have you eat?" I asked and he just ignored me. I walked out from the room and bought myself a bagel. I ate it myself and walked back to the room. "Babe, let's have a date." I said and he looked up. "Violet baby.. I'm busy." He might say sweet things but he never mean it. "Oh come on, you always busy.. I'm your girlfriend, at least you should spare time for me." I said and he sighed. "Okay fine.. Where do you want to go?" "You need to show me around Miami.. I never know this place." I said. "Okay fine.." "At least you need to take me out because we're been dating in the office for almost a month." I said sarcasticly and he just never cares. He got up and put his files away. "Let's go." He smiled to me and geez.. I've never see that smile since a month ago when he asked me to be his girlfriend. He walked to me and held my hand. When we're going to walk out from his office.. suddenly someone bursted inside. "Oh shit.." Austin hissed and I looked at him confuse. "Baby.." Wait? What! Baby? The girl ran to Austin and hugged him. My eyes widen as she kissed his cheek. "Hey!" I pushed her until she fell down. "Violet!" Austin scolded me and I looked at him disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me.." I hissed and walked out from the room ignoring whether he will make out or do whatever he want to do with that girl. I turned off my phone and walked out from his building. I walked towards the beach.. in heels. I hissed and cursed myself for this. I was pissed with Austin's attitude these days.. he never cares and just.. ignoring me all the time. I know that he's just using me but at least he needs to treat me right. "Wow.. walking in heels on the beach is not a good idea." I ignored whoever said that beside me. "Hey.. I'm warning you that it's quite dangerous to walk in-" "Shut up!" I hissed as I turned to the guy who warned me. "Go away and just mind your own business.." I hissed coldly and then I fell. "See.. I told you." He laughed and I ignored him. I got up and took off my heels. "Shut it." I hissed and walked along the beach. I looked at the sea when suddenly the guy earlier walked beside me. "Marcus Prens." "Nice meeting you.. bye" I said ignoring him by continue walking. "Hey.. hey.. can I get your name?" He asked and I ignored him. "Violet!" I hissed hearing Austin's voice. "Violet huh?" "Hey babe.. don't be mad." Austin ran to me and held my hand. "Get lost!" I hissed at him. "Wow dude.. if she asks you to get lost.. get lost.." Marcus said and I ignored the both of them. "Violet look.. I can expla-" "I'll see you in New York." I said to him and walked away leaving him alone. I walked to the side and put my heels on. "Let me help you.." Marcus held my hand and I put on my heels. "Thanks." I said without looking at him and walked away. "Well.. at least I know your first name.. which is Violet.." "What do you want?" I stopped and looked at him. "What did he do?" He asked me in a serious tone. "We just met like 5 minutes ago.. and now you want to butt into my business?" "What did he do?" He repeated the question and I sighed. "Look.. Marcus, thankyou for your concern but I need to go." I said and he nodded lightly. "At least.. can I know your last name?" "Violet Ashlock." I said and then turned my body around. I walked away to my hotel. I packed my bags when suddenly someone knocked on my door. I opened it and as I expected.. it's Austin. Quite an effort.. I see "Go away.." "Look.. Violet." "Come in.." I said to him and he walked in. I closed the door and walked inside. "Look Violet.. My parents currently arranging marriage me with that woman earlier." "And you will get married to her?" "Why would I? I have you remember." He held the both of my hands. What a lame excuse.. "Really?" I asked and I know he will think that I'm dumb for believing him. "Yes, please believe me.. She came because my parents ask her to come." I raised my eyebrows. "Your parents don't know that you have a girlfriend?" I asked him disbelief. "Uhmm about that.." I pushed his hand away and sighed. "Look.. Violet." "What excuses will you make this time?" "Don't go back to New York, tonight let's have dinner with my family." I rolled my eyes.. "You won't even say about me to them.. if I didn't ask you right?" I asked and sighed. "I'm sorry, Violet. There's a lot of things going on in my mind. I'm sorry." He said and okay.. let's continue the game. "Okay fine.. I will let you slip today." "Thankyou babe." He crashed his lips to mine and I kissed him back right away. Let's see until when you're going to keep up with this game..
