Asteria's POV

It's been a week since our kiss, and Alek has been avoiding me like a plague.

Why is he acting this way?

Thea informed me that he had left for a week in Italy for a business deal.

I was surfing Instagram late at night. But then I saw a picture of Alek with a girl. Not just any girl, but the mean girl that came to our house for lunch that day.

It was merely uploaded a few minutes ago. I promptly Googled his name and saw several images of him with that girl.

He was even kissing her in a few pictures, just like he kissed me. He was hugging her so tightly and even smiling at the camera. The same smile that made my heart skip a beat.

There was even a video. Despite, my gut feeling telling not to watch it, I still watched it. That girl was kissing his neck while he answered a paparazzi question. In another video, they were both warmly staring into each other's eyes.

I don't know why, but seeing at their pictures together shattered my heart.

Have I developed feelings for Alek?

That is why I am feeling this way.

Oh my God! I think I like Alek.

My eyes welled up with tears. It's causing me so much pain.

How can he do this to me?

He kissed me, making me feel special, and then kissed another female a week later.

I hate him. I hate him so much.

I was crying all the while and had no idea that someone had entered my room.

"Ria", someone said, and I looked up to see it was Thea.

"Thea", I said, as she sat on the bed beside me.

"What happened? Why are you crying like this? Did anyone say anything to you?", she inquired, which I denied.

"Then what happened Ria? We are best friends, you can tell me anything. Please tell me", she pestered, but I just continued weeping.

"Please, Ria, believe me. I can help you, tell me", she added, and hugged me.

She eventually left me and offered me tissues. I wiped away my tears with a tissue.

"Here, drink some water", she said as she handed me a glass of water, which I drank.

"Do you feel better?", she said, and I nodded.

"Now, please tell me what happened", she said, and I stared at her.

I told her everything from the beginning, thinking she was the only person who might help me.

"My brother is a fucking asshole", she exclaimed.

"You know what. You don't need someone like him. All men are completely stupid. But you don't have to think about him. I know how to get back at him", she grinned.

And I was curious as to what was going on in her head.

Aleksander's POV

I entered my hotel room and smashed the vase on the table. That fucking bitch kissed me, and I couldn't do anything since we were in front of cameras, and I didn't want to cause a scene. She remained stuck to me throughout the party, aggravating me with her screeching voice. But I hope Mr. Kyros is finally satisfied.

I need something to drink. I opened the bottle of whiskey and drank an enormous amount directly from it.

I saw Angel's sobbing face as I closed my eyes. Fuck!

I felt horrible seeing her go with a teary face that day. I knew she was on the verge of tears.

But I had no choice because of my dad. I would not have done that to my Angel if the Italian business had not been so important to our the company.

That day, it was Dad's phone call that ended our beautiful moment. He wanted me to recall the agreement we made with Mr. Kyros.

Mr. Kyros is a huge fish in the Italian market, and we need him to get in. But that old man said I had to take his daughter as my date to his birthday celebration.

That's why dad sort of pushed me to focus on his daughter rather than Angel.

I can't even contact her since I know she saw those photographs. She will not speak to me.

My phone rang, and I hoped it was Angel, but it was Dad.

"Good day, son. How was the party?", he said from the other side.

"Fine", I grumbled.

"Wonderful, son. I just hope Mr. Kyros agrees now", he continued, and I hummed.

"And I saw the pictures", he said after a while.

"She did, too", I answered, taking another swig of whiskey.

"Don't be concerned, son. These images will be removed by tomorrow. And about her, come home and explain everything to her, okay?", he added and he hung up the phone.

Dad is correct. I didn't kiss her voluntarily, and I have no feelings for her. I had feelings for my Angel only.

Yes, I should explain everything to her.

That's exactly what I need to do!
