Max Irons Always Gets What He Wants

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Nicole's POV

"He just can't go around stating lies like that!" I yell frustrated, in fear of the media's reactions. This fiancé thing was just the tip of the iceberg! Everybody has been spreading rumors about Max and me, and now an engagement rumor? And what was worse was that I acted along with what Jake had said! I was such an idiot.

"He must've seen us when Declan confronted us then, about the engagement thing in that café slash bookstore?" Max inquired rhetorically, but I just had to think over how I didn't thought of that. Jake must have been there at that moment, since he knew that engagement thing. Was it just a prank or what?

Then, it dawned upon me that whether Jake saw or not, he still caused this abrupt issue between the media and us. This would ruin our reputation, if say; we broke the 'engagement' instantly? I rolled my eyes at my stupidity. I think it also pissed the heck off Max because the next string of words we would mutter was beyond compare to all of the mad words I have cursed upon him.

"That son of a b*tch."

Max's POV

Do people get a second chance at fixing things? Because I am one hundred percent for certain that Nicole would hate me much more after Jake went all "they're engaged" on us.

It's not that I didn't want her to be mine in every aspect possible; her physique, her heart, and her marital status. But damn, Jake screwed up this time.

What now? My fiancée and I are going to think this through and talk about this calmly, with peace, like how most engaged couples do-

"He cant just go around stating lies like that!"

Right. I might have been exaggerating over the 'talk this out calmly' plot.

But I couldn't help wonder how he could have gotten that sudden spark of a sly idea that we were engaged.

"He must've seen us when Declan confronted us then, about the engagement thing in that café slash bookstore?" I was yelling 'idiot' to myself as I blurted that question out loud, but looking at Nicole, who seemed like she was contemplating my previous statement, made me proud of myself.

I am so going to ask him about this. I am going to yell at him, beat him up, shove that unbelievably calm demeanor up his ass, and just-

"That son of a b*tch."

My eyes skimmed towards Nicole. She's just drop-dead gorgeous.

"Well, then let's just play along and pray something good will happen. We could be like one of those celebrity couples that only last for a while, and then have a nasty breakup, with the press and everything," I suggested while distaste lingers on my mind.

"But I am bound to have bad luck every one in a while," Nicole's lips turned down into a deeper frown. "Are you up for this crap?"

"Well no, but we are actors. We can definitely handle this." I grinned at her, showing my pearly whites. She threw back the ghost of a smile.

"All right."

Georgette's POV

Did I really cheat on Jake? I didn't remember anything! Not that I was drunk, or even anything. But I must've been, right? Just a few days ago I'd told Nic how in love I was with Jake. She knew that he returned the feelings as well. I felt guilt, but I wasn't guilty enough to tell Jake how I'd cheated on him. He would go hysterics! Sad to say, Declan told me that Nic figured it all out. Of course she would!
