Why was he holding her hand when he's supposed to be mine~

It's your birthday. You're standing on the balcony, looking at the moon shining above you. You look ethereal in your Swarovski studded gown, it enhances your curves giving both elegance and luxury.

You are Y/n Rotwell, successor of Tom Rotwell. Someone who's born and raised in luxury, you thought money is the solution to everything.

You got everything in the world but you still feel lonely. You craved love. To fill the void inside your heart you threw massive parties, shopping sprees, of course with your daddy's credit card. You thought that's the meaning of life until you met someone who swooned you from your feet.

You saw this man in the 50th Fittes ball. The infamous Anthony Lockwood but God he's so hot, totally your type. It was love at first sight.

I want him. You thought.

You did some digging and found everything about this mysterious man. You stalked him- no, saw him wherever he went. You made it oh so subtle.

The boy has a small agency. He has two employees, a nerd and a scruffy girl. Not someone you would like to be friends with. Your Target was to get Anthony Lockwood. By hook or by crook.

But there is one problem, he's always with this scruffy girl..what's the name?...hmm.. yeah! Lucy.

What does he even see in her?

I mean look at you, you got the looks, the money, intelligence. You got everything that can make any guy fall for you....right?

Then why isn't Anthony falling for you. What's his price? Fame? Money? Sex?

You were deep in your thoughts when you heard a knock.

"Ma'am it's time." Your bodyguard said.

You sighed. Honestly, you wanted to be alone today but you didn't have a choice as your parents arranged this party. You weren't in the mood to listen to any of their lectures about gratitude and upbringing.

The moment you set foot in the room, all the eyes fell on you. You love the attention. With a smirk on your face, you went up to your friends. You grooved a little to music, having small talks with your so-called friends. They're rich kids just like you. Born with a golden spoon in their mouth. You know they're not your real friends. Everyone cares about your money anyway.

You looked around the room, searching for those brown eyes which made you fall so hard in love.

There he is. In a black suit, hair styled like a 50s actor. He looks gorgeous. You smiled to yourself but it faltered when you saw him holding someone's hand. Ugh Lucy. You practically gagged.

Lockwood approached you with a smile. "Thank you for having us Ms. Rottwell. It's truly a pleasure" he warmly shook your hand. You blushed.

"No, it's my pleasure having you with us. Enjoy the party." You gave your best fake smile to the couple. It hurts to see him with her. How you wish it was you holding his arms around your waist instead of her.

After attending a few guests, Your parents had an announcement to make.

"We are so pleased to share this news with you. Today, our little Y/n has turned into a fine lady. I'm so proud of her." Your mother said. "We have a surprise for you all, Our daughter Ms. Y/n Rotwell is getting engaged to Mr. Henry Fittes, successor of the great Marissa Fittes."

Your jaw practically dropped on the floor. You couldn't believe your ears for a moment. You excused yourself and went to the garden.

You found Lockwood outside looking at the moon. You put on your best smile and said hi.

"What are you doing here Mr. Lockwood?"

"Just waiting for Lucy and George."

You were so busy killing Lucy with your eyes that you didn't even notice George was standing right beside them.

"Congratulations on your engagement Ms. Rottwell"

Your mood turned sour. "What is your price, Anthony?" You surprised yourself with the sudden burst of confidence.

"Excuse me?"

"What do you want? How can I get you? How can I make you love me?"

Lockwood looked at you as if you're crazy.

"Everyone has a price. What's yours?"

"You're crossing your limit."

You ignored him "Why don't you look at me the way you look at her? What does she have that I don't have? You yelled.

"She's not obnoxious like you. You got the money but you're heartless. She's kind, beautiful, brave. She has decency unlike you. I'm sorry. I don't like you. I only like Lucy, in fact I love lucy. "

In fact, I love lucy

I love lucy

Those three letters were enough to tore you into pieces.

Anthony left you standing in the cold garden. Everyone you love eventually leaves.

You were called on the stage. Your parents asked you to sing a song, showcase you like an expensive jewellery sitting in a box, ready to be sold.

You took the stage and sang your heart out.

"Why was he holding her hand
when he's supposed to be mine?

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

Cry if I want to

You would cry too, if it happened to you"~

You glared at the couple. You could see how Lockwood held Lucy's waist, so delicate with his touch. How he smiled at her like he owns the world.

"Judy and Johnny just walked through the door

Like a queen with her king

Oh, what a birthday surprise

Judy's wearing his ring"

You got tears in your eyes but you hid it so well. Nobody could see the vulnerable girl who just wanted to be loved..only and only by him.
