Chapter 1 :

Kenzie's P.O.V

"Hey.... This is Jacob. I'm currently unavailable. Leave a message or call me later. Have a good day." I listen to his voice mail for what seems like the millionth time day. I don't know whether I should be pleased or bothered that I am being sent to his voice mail. It's such a strange feeling. When someone's avoiding you but you have no choice but to keep haunting them, yet you feel relieved when the confrontations are delayed.

"Hey... It's me.... I know you won't reply to my texts or calls. I know you don't want to see me. I understand why and you have every right to do so. But please... For the love of god Jacob let me talk to you at least one more time. I miss... Your voice..." My own cracks as I plead him with so much desperation. I hate myself for being so weak. For going after something I know I can't get. I hate myself even more whenever I remember that I was the one to let go and I am the one to be blamed. Not a single day passes by when I don't regret what I had done. So here I am, drowning in my misery and mourning my loss.

"Kenzie." My best friend calls my attention.

"Will you stop playing with your food and eat?"

"I... I'm not hungry anymore." I say quickly, attempting to get up and leave the dinner table. She catches my hand, pushing me back to my chair.

"When are you going to stop beating yourself up to it?" She asks angrily and I roll my eyes.
"What happened ken......"

"What happened is that I cheated on my long term boyfriend/ recent fiancé with some douche bag I used to date in the past!! Not once or twice but for freaking countable times! Not only that but I did it four months before our arranged wedding! Now I'm doing everything I could possibly do to have him back and all my attempts are definitely in vain!" I snap, voice raising and hands shaking. She looks at me with disgusting sympathy. I almost want to vomit.

"If he loved you. He would have forgiven you kenzie." She says softly.

"I don't care if he loves me or not Danielle. I have always been selfish and I never denied it! I want him back! I want what's mine!" I start sobbing, like the crying baby I am. She engulfs me in one of her comforting hugs. This isn't the first time I cry on her shoulder. I have been a sobbing mess for almost three months now.

"Did you call him today?"

"I did. Four times and I also sent six messages" I mumble, wiping away some of the spilling tears. She hands me a tissue.

"Did you try going to the company?" She suggests and I almost groan at her stupidity.

"Of course I did! The company, the gym, his friends, everywhere! He always manages to block me every single chance!" I say exasperatedly, more tears rolling down my cheeks. Danielle looks deep in thought. I know whatever she's going to come up with is going to be silly.

"There is only way to be able to see him again."

"Entertain me." I say bitterly.

"Work for him!" She says enthusiastically and I burst into laughter. I laugh for the first time in a long while. Although it's out of bitterness but I almost forgot how it feels to laugh.

"It may sound stupid to you but at least it made you laugh!" She grins.

"You should really consider being a comedian. Give me one damn reason to why he would agree to hire me!"

"I never said you are going to ask him for the job! You are going to work with him not for him. You have your own jewelry line and he owns an internationally famous brand. He asked you to join his business before, didn't he?"
