Jesscia's POV

I woke up with swollen eyes and cringed at my clock. It was 7.30am. Just then, Auntie Mary came in and snapped, "Ethan James will fetch you at 8.45am so get ready before he comes. I am going off now. DON'T make Ethan James wait for you lest he is angry, get it?!" i nodded and she slammed the door shut. I got off my bed and did my morning routine. I wore my hoodie as i had bruises on my face. I also wore a pair of way-too-big pants and tucked into my white sneakers. I did not have makeup on as i did not have makeup. Auntie Mary said i still looked ugly even with makeup and i should also lose some weight. When i was done, i picked my bookbag which consisted of some stationaries and a notebook. It was 8.30am. I went downstairs and waited for Ethan James.

The door rang 15mins later and i opened it. i kept my head down as i did not want him to see my bruises. "Are you Jessica Tanners?" He asked irritably."yes.' i mumbled. He tugged my chin up suddenly and standing in front of me is the most handsome guy that i have ever seen. He is about 1.8m, which is 0.3m taller than me. He has brown hair and ocean blue eyes. He wore a white shirt which clung to every part of his body, showing his six packs and a pair of jeans. I unconciously blushed under his stare, or rather, glare. "What happened to your face?" he asked, with a lace of concern in his voice. "I fall and smacked my face on the floor." i lied. "Serve you right.You are the ugliest creature i have ever seen and i hate you." he commented nastily. I kept my head down again, tears swimming in my eyes. "Let's go. I have something to discuss with you in the car." he said before walking off.

"We will divorce after i obtained my father's company. Meanwhile, I will continue with my player's ways and you will continue with your freak life. Get it?" he said. i nodded and looked down, playing with the hem of my hoodie. The whole journey remained silent., only with the soft playing of classical music in the background.

Ethan's POV

I woke up to May's callings again and prepared myself. I simply wore a white shirt and a pair of jeans. 'I am Natural Beauty' i snickered as i thought to myself while standing in front of the mirror. I ate a lot before i go as i did not eat dinner last night.

When i got to Jessica's house, which was a shabby house, with paint coat peeling off the walls and a garden with dead flowers. I knocked on the door and a girl wearing a hoodie with a pair of pants opened the door. The hoodie was over her head and she was looking down ."Are you Jessica Tanners?" i asked irritably. "yes" she mumbled, without looking up. I was irritated when someone does not look at me in the eye when they are talking. I tugged her chin up and the minute i saw her green and soft eyes, my heart skipped a beat. What the hell is happening to me?! However, there were bruises on her face and i barely contained myself from asking, "What happened to you?" She replied "I fall and smacked my face on the floor." 'I must be crazy for being concerned about her' i thought and the next thing i said to her was "Serve you right.You are the ugliest creature i have ever seen and i hate you." She kept her head down again and i continued with my speech "Let's go. I have something to discuss with you in the car.",before walking off.

"We will divorce after i obtained my father's company. Meanwhile, I will continue with my player's ways and you will continue with your freak life. Get it?" i said. She nodded and looked down, playing with the hem of her hoodie. When i saw her like this, i so wanted to reach out and comfort her. 'What the hell are you thinking, Ethan James?!' i thought. 'I must be lacking of sleep, that is why..' i convinced myself before driving both of us to school
