Chapter 1: The Beginning
Maddie had moved from CA to NYC a year ago. She was living the “perfect” life in CA until she found her best friend, Jackie, sleeping with her boyfriend, Max. After the long, rough school year and graduating high school and getting into her dream university (Columbia University), her brother decided it was the perfect time for her to start fresh and begin a new chapter in NYC. But the thing is, she is not ready for what's to come. Will she be able to forgive her sibling for what's about to happen? Will her life still be the same, or will she still be getting hurt… let's see and find out. Maddie's Point of View (P.O.V.) “Hey, Elijah, what's up?” “Hey, baby sis, do you have a minute to talk?” “Yeah, but I have class in about 10 minutes.” “Oh... okay, well, I just want to let you know that we need you in the office later today at 3 pm.” “Why?” “We need to discuss something with you.” “Well, I will see if I can make it, since I have plans already, but I will let you know.” “No, Maddison, we need you here, and it's final. Do you understand?” “Elijah, but—” “No 'buts,' be here. I have to go; I have a meeting right now. See you later, baby sis. Love you.” “Elijah…” the phone ends. What the hell is his problem? I said I can’t go, but he wants me to be there. What's so important that they couldn't wait for dinner to tell me? Now I have to call Davina and tell her that we have to reschedule our plans unless I skip my last class. Yeah, that's the plan. Ri-i-ing... Ri-i-ing... Ri-i-ing “Hey, girly.” “Hey, Davi, we need to reschedule our plans.” “Why, M?” “My brothers want me to go into the office today at 3, and I can't bail; it sounds serious. And you know that if I don't show up, I'm going to get grounded for the rest of my life.” “Damn... what did you do this time?” “I didn't do anything.” “Yeah, sure... so what are the plans now?” “Well, I was thinking of ditching my 2 o'clock class so we can meet at the mall at that time. Does it work for you?” “Yes, that's fine. I will see you in like two hours.” “Okay, see you later.” End of call. I decided to head to my first class, which starts at 12 pm. Damn, I'm so late for that class. Class went quickly, but I didn't understand Business 150. You would have thought that since my older brothers are responsible for continuing our parents' legacy of the Michelson Corporation, I wouldn't have to, but in reality, I do. Since my parents have many branches in the business world, each brother is responsible for one of each. My responsibility is to focus on the Media chain, while my oldest brother, Elijah, is the CEO of the company. My second oldest brother, Nick, is vice president and responsible for the Transportation chain, and my third oldest brother is in charge of the Restaurants, Clubs, and Hotel chain. After finishing my 1 pm class, I headed to meet Davina at the mall since I have to help her find a dress for her sister's wedding in a couple of months. Who would've thought that still in the twenty-first century, families would still be arranging marriages? Actually, families who are old money tend to do this because they want to gain power in whatever franchise they have not conquered. Good thing my brothers wouldn't do anything like that to me, hopefully. I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't notice someone bump into me until I felt that ice-cold drink down my shirt. “What the hell!! Look where you are going!” “Me, why don't you look where you are walking? If you weren't on your phone, then you would've noticed me.” “Thanks, now my shirt is ruined.” “I don't have time to buy a new shirt, but here, let's find the closest bathroom.” “For what?? Wait, I suppose…” He didn't give me the opportunity to finish my sentence when he was dragging me into the bathroom. He took off his suit jacket, then his dress shirt, and finally, his white t-shirt. He threw it to me and told me to change into it. Like, what the heck. He's crazy. I got out of the stall and fixed myself when he took my shirt and started to apologize, telling me he was running late but said I could keep his shirt since he ruined mine. I could tell he was checking me out, but I didn't say anything because I was doing the same to him. Eventually, we both snapped when our phones started ringing. Shoot, I totally forgot about Davina. We left the restroom and went our separate ways. After looking for Davi for a minute, I found her at one of her favorite stores. She was scolding me for coming late, but I told her what happened. She was surprised that a stranger would give me their shirt. She even asked me if I got his number, but I didn't. We were in such a rush that I forgot to ask for it. Maybe one day we will meet up again. We kept on shopping and getting some lunch until I looked at my watch and saw it was a quarter past three and five missed calls from my brother. s**t, I forgot I had to meet them at the office. I said my goodbyes and left, rushing to the office. Hopefully, they won't get mad—oh, well, I'm just going to say I was stuck in traffic.
