Truth
Four years later, Tamantha became a successful fashion manager, she built her own fashion magazine. Her parents are better now and she is ready to take revenge on everyone who bullied and wronged her, including Weston Remington, the man he once loved.
Weston and Tamantha meet again in a fashion convention where Weston mistaken her for a model because of her sexy figure and sense of fashion. She knew that Weston was shocked to see her. The chubby girl is gone, she's much healthier now, her body is toned and hot. Though Weston is shocked he let it subside he still doesn't forget what Tamantha did to her, she left him without saying anything. While Tamantha is going to compete with Weston's company in the fashion industry, she wants to be on top and prove that she can do anything without Weston's help, without using someone's fame or wealth, that she can do it on her own. Because of Tamantha's fashion magazine who took over the whole world, Weston's company struggled.
Tamantha sent the divorce papers to Weston but he didn't sign it, he wants Tamantha to live with him since they're still married but Tamantha disagrees with it. The next day Weston saw Colton and Tamantha together making him jealous, he thought Colton is the reason why she doesn't want to be with him, that's why she wanted to get divorce instantly. One drunken night again, both of them bet that they don't have any feelings for each other, they prove themselves wrong when they end up in bed in the morning. They talked about the divorce that they should have. They sort and figure it out and soon reconcile. Soon enough they both realized the misunderstandings and fights that they had before. Both of them thought that they could start a new chapter of their lives, leaving all the miscommunication and mistakes behind.
Before they can even say they are back together after years. Colton confessed that he likes Tamantha and is willing to do anything for her. While Tamantha is shocked, Weston is furious, he knows his brother wants to take everything but he won't let him. Jade, Weston's ex-girlfriend, told the media that she's pregnant with Weston's child. They faced Weston's parents to settle all the things that happened before and clear all the miscommunication they had. Weston's father refused to accept them but his mother was happy for them and forgive Tamantha's uncle but Jade's pregnancy keeps them away from they're happy ending. Tamantha couldn't believe that Weston really had a child with her so they decided to think for days and give space to each other and think everything through. Jade sent the ultrasound of her baby to Tamantha's house, sadness crept into her heart. When she thought that they could be together again, disastrous things happened.
She thought that maybe they're not really for each other. She decided to sign the divorce papers and gave Jade her happy ending. Tamantha doesn't want the child to suffer, she wants the child to have a complete family and she will not stand in the way. She packed her bags and booked a flight back to Australia to be with her uncle and start again. Colton finds out about it and he stops her. Though Colton wants to be with her, he knew that Tamantha would be happy in his brother's arms. He told Tamantha that Jades baby is his, not Weston's. They had a one night stand before Jade getting pregnant. He doesn't want Weston to be the father of his child but Jade insists that it was Weston's child because she is obsessed with him.
After Tamantha learns the truth she still proceeds to the airport. Even though it's not Weston's child, still, they won't be together because his parents won't accept them. Right before she boarded her flight Weston showed up in the airport, bending his knee and asking her for marriage. Weston learned from his mistake, he won't let Tamantha leave her again. He doesn't want a divorce with her. He wants to marry her again, this time they're both conscious and not drunk. He wants a life with her, he knew it the first time they shared they're kiss, he's too stupid to ignore it back then that's why he won't let her go now. Tamantha tears up while nodding her head. She accepted his wedding proposal. Everyone at the airport cheered for them. Days later they appear on the news in every television. A month later they become wife and husband for real, they're not drunk anymore. They started to love independently while Weston built his own business. Tamantha gets to do her passion and write in her fashion magazine. It turns out Weston's kink wasn't her body weight, Tamantha is the billionaire's kink, thin or not.
Damn that's a good story. Good thing I garbbed two books. Since I'm not yet sleepy I read the other one again. I can't help but glance on the side wall.
I sighed.
Stop thinking of him, Artemesia!
I shook my head and focus on the book.
The first thing that came to Natalie's mind is to look for a nerd that she can use for her own.
Joe is right when he tells her to use her beauty to get what she wants and since she failed an exam, she won't waste her time to review it and retake it again.
He found Lance was running for valedictorian in their batch. He's the most intelligent student. She didn't waste time and pursued him.
At first Lance disagreed to do what she wanted because of his principles and morals. It didn't take long for him to agree to her proposal because it involves pleasure.
He's a nerd and nobody wants to date him because of it.
He agreed to help Natalie pass in exchange for her teaching him how to kiss and pleasure a girl.
Natalie taught him how to kiss, she can't believe how much of a beginner he was but even though he bites her lips she finds it hot.
After their session, he helped her with the exam and Natalie passed it but her teachers are doubting her because she's a rebel student and it's impossible for her to perfect the exam but the teachers let it slide.
Days goes by, Natalie and Lance are seen together, few are noticing it but Lance's childhood friend, Aira who is also a nerd is concerned for him.
She threatened Natalie to leave Magnus alone but Natalie just shrugged it off.
She doesn't give a damn about the two nerds, all she needs is to pass everything and graduate and they will no longer be useful.
Joe, who is Natalie's on and off boyfriend, is with his Mom when they visit their house.
Natalie and Joe mom are friends ever since even after Natalie lost their wealth. But she's chained to her mother's debt to Joe's parents because she wants her to marry Joe so they don't need to pay for the debts.
Natalie and Lance become closer with their learning sessions and without Natalie knowing, Lance falls in love with her and wants to ask her to be his date on the grand ball but he is too scared to be rejected especially when he sees Natalie and Joe kissing.
To everyone's surprise, Jessa the nerd transformed into a pretty girl in the grand ball which makes everyone wonder who's gonna be the prom queen between Natalie and Jessa.
At the end of the night, Natalie took home the crown and so did Joe who also won as prom king. Happiness comes with sadness and Natalie learned that in a worse way when she saw Joe making out with Jessa so to get revenge she asked Lance to drive in a hotel.
That night they lost their innocence but they became a man and a woman. No one knew that Natalie and Lance are something else, no one ever had a clue on what they did on the vacation trip they had. It took days for Lance and Natalie's sex tape to be out on the internet. When they had a vacation trip with their classmates, Natalie and Lance had sex but they didn't know they're being filmed by someone. Natalie's world crumbled, she was disgusted with herself, she's ashamed of what she has become.
Both Lance and Natalie are called to the dean's office together with their parents. Lance's mother is annoyed with Natalie, believing that she ruined her son, Lance stood up for her but her mother doesn't believe him because Jessa is feeding her wrong information.
On that same day when Natalie mom and her fought, her little sister Bubble fainted and rushed to the hospital.
Turns out she has a tumor inside her brain, they need a lot of money for the operation but they don't know where to look for help.
Joe's mom refused to help them.
Natalie is hopeless, her mind is off of the sex tape that she has because her sister is more important than anything, even over her heart.
Lance Mom offered to give them money for her sister's operation, in one condition, to leave Lance and never meet with him again.
She doesn't have a choice but to agree because her sister's life is on her hands. On the graduation day, she rejected Lance's gift for her and dumped him without even telling the truth.
Everything comes to worse when Natalie finds out that her father is involved in an accident paralyzing him.
Four years later, Natalie is working as a waitress in a coffee shop; she didn't pursue college to help with her family's needs.
Ally, her co worker who became her friend offered her a side job where she can model for sports car, unfortunately her beauty captivated perverts and try to take advantage of her, at the moment of desperation for help she didn't know it will come in the form of Lance, the only man she ever love.
Her mind is too occupied by the things that happened to her that night but she wouldn't forget how Lance has changed, long gone he's nerdy glasses.
He's all different now, he's a hot guy with his toned body that Natalie couldn't take it all in and give in when he teased her and he made love to her above the sports car he bought on the car show.
When Natalie was on her duty at the coffee shop, she didn't expect to see Jow there, they talked for a bit and soon she found out that he wanted to help her, the thing that Joe's mother failed to do.
He offers her a modeling job but Natalie refuses to get any kind of help from them. Luckily she received a call from one of the companies she applied for, her salary at the coffee shop is not enough for their needs so she needed a better salary and she's overjoyed when the company hired her.
When she went to the company on her first day, she was shocked to see Lance, he is her boss and she's her secretary.
Lance Mom found out that she's his secretary and told her about the condition they have before and that Lance is already engaged with Jessa, she broke down in tears, she never thought how Lance changed over the years, he lied to her.
He only used her for sex, he doesn't have feelings for her anymore, he is just playing with her because he is already engaged with Jessa.
Natalie is on the edge again, she lost both of her jobs, she resigned on her job at the coffee shop as soon as she get the job at the company without knowing that Lance is his boss and now she's fucked up.
She's the only hope of her parents to help and provide for them.
That's when she realized that Joe offered her a job and she had no choice but to accept it.
Her modeling career started to sky rocket again because of Joe, her old friends tried to reach out to her and told her about their batch reunion, she doesn't want to go but Joe is going and he wants her to go as well, soon enough she agreed.
Natalie knew that once she walked into the reunion her past would be brought and it does, she was the talk of their batch and she felt anxious, seeing Jessa and Lance together didn't even help.
To avoid any scene in the reunion she left so she could be alone with her thoughts. She shrieked when she saw Lance behind her back.
They talk for a while but Natalie leaves when she got a call that Bubble is rushed to the hospital, Lance accompany her, while in the hospital, they happen to run into Lance Mom, she was furious to see her son with Natalie after all what she did to separate the two of them, she argued with the and belittle Natalie family but Natalie mom is not having it.
She stood up for her daughter and for her family, all along she's just nodding and letting everyone to think wrong about them but she won't do that now.
Natalie already suffered enough. Lance is confused about what his mom is saying about the condition they had before but he didn't force Natalie to tell the truth instead he went home and let her be with her family.
The next day Natalie decided to finally end everything with the Morrison's and leave everything behind and start a new life.
She sent her resignation to the company but it's rejected and she needed to give the resignation by herself.
As expected he didn't accept it, after a minute of pleading with him to accept the resignation he agrees to accept the resignation if she marries him.
Lance found out what her mother did to Natalie, her mom took advantage of their lack of money and gave her no choice but to reject him.
He understood it completely but now he wouldn't also give Natalie a chance to choose. He wants her to marry him.
Lance's mom wanted to interfere but Lance had decided that if they wouldn't accept Natalie he would leave the company and his father didn't let it happen because he doesn't want his son to suffer the fate of marrying someone he doesn't love.
As soon as they got Lance's father's blessings and Natalie's parents they planned the wedding.
On the wedding day, something unexpected happened when Natalie and Joe's picture in the car spread on the internet.
It's a picture from back when they celebrated her photoshoot success but Natalie is drunk and she wasn't aware that he's going to kiss her.
She thought that Lance won't come to the wedding but as to what he promised he will be and he did.
The wedding continued and they became husband and wife and soon after had a child, Roux who is a copy of his father. After everything they've been through, they're still thankful and they wouldn't have been together if Natalie didn't ask Lance to be her sex student.
I didn't know that book would actually make me sleep after I read it. I didn't know that I read all throughout the night!
I yawned and woke up. My body clock is early today huh? Maybe it's because I'm used to waking up in the morning to prepare for work as Braxton's secretary.
Ah yes that was it.
Since Braxton saved me last night. I'm going to make him a coffee now. I haven't gone to the bathroom yet to check on myself but I should so he would think that I made an effort for him, for saving me.
I made coffee and played music in the kitchen. It wasn't that loud, just enough for me to hear. I don't want to wake up Braxton. He can be so cranky sometimes.
I don't know why his maid is not here either. Maybe it is her day off.
I heard steps coming in the kitchen so I reached for the coffee and grabbed it as I turned around.
"Here's your coffee," I said.
I shrieked as I turned around. My eyes landed on him. The next thing I heard was the tea cup falling on the ground.
Damn it!
"Ahh!" I screamed.
What is he doing here?
"Artemesia?" He asked.
I gulped as I looked at him.
"D-dalton." I stuttered.
How did he come here without knocking? Without me knowing? Isn't Braxton's house safe? I came here thinking it was a safe place but Dalton came here without noticing!
Did he have another key or what?
Damn it! I should be worried about how I am going to explain that I'm in Braxton's house?
"What are you doing here?" He asked. His eyes traveled down to my chest.
I immediately covered my chest.
"Why are you here in Braxton's house? How did you get here? Are you sleeping around your boss? That's crazy! I thought you were single? So you are single because you are sleeping around with him? That is stupid!" He said.
I'm sure he is so shocked just by looking at his face. Damn it. Why does he need to see me like this? I'm not wearing bra so he is probably thinking that Braxton and I slept together.
As if that would happen! How I wish!
Damn it, Artemesia. Why are you even thinking like that?
That is so stupid!
Before I could even answer Braxton walked in the kitchen with his furrowed brows.
"Braxton! Are you sleeping with her? I can not believe you! I knew you were doing something fishy, hiring her! She is too young! I mean I cannot blame you, but come on!" He screamed.
Instead of answering Braxton casually walked towards me. He stopped when he saw the broken tea cup on the floor.
"I-I'm sorry." I said.
"Oh come on! Is no one going to answer me?" Braxton said, he untied his neck tie in frustration. He is wearing a suit, so it's probably hot even though there is an aircon.
But I mean, come on. It would be so freaking hot if you found out your friend is sleeping with his secretary!
I kneeled down, trying to pick up the tea cup glass that was broken when Braxton stopped me. He kneeled down, making our eyes level.
"Don't pick up," he said as he picked it up himself. He picked it up carefully without even scratching himself.
Why is he so calm at this moment?
Dalton just saw us together in his house!
After the put it in the trash he grabbed himself a coffee and sit on his kitchen table calm and classy.
Damn it. Why does Braxton look so handsome even though he is not doing anything?
Oh fuck it, Artemesia. Think of the bigger problem here!
I gulped as Dalton looked at me.
"Stop staring at her," Braxton said.
"Then tell me what is going on here!" He raised his voice.
"What are you guys?"
"Fuck buddies?!"
"What no?" I shouted.
"Of course we are not! I stayed up here because I'm finishing some stuff and I can't do it in the office." I reasoned.
"No I don't believe you Artemesia." He said as he shook his head.
"But that's the truth. I can't do it in my house because—" Braxton cut me off.
Braxton squinted his eyes as he stared at me intently, piercing his deep eyes.
"You are bad at lying, Ms. Vena."
