After The Lie ✔️

JOHN's POV (THE END)

Ever since I could remember, I have always got what I wanted. My parents love me so much that I just have say something once and the next moment, I have that thing. That is why I believe that what I want, I will get it. That's how I was raised. This made be become proud. I have it all. I'm handsome, kind of well off, I get what I want, so how could anyone say no to me? That's what I always believed. Surprisingly nothing ever happened to change that belief. And this made me into a person that had faith that if he wants something, he will get it.

Throughout school, I was popular. After all what I wanted, my parents would give it to me. Girls would swoon after me because of my good looks while boys would hangout with me because I was popular. But no one ever interested me. They were all idiots and people with whom I'd hangout just to kill some time.

My father has always had a huge social circle. Because of that we used to have a lot of gatherings. I never liked that because they were all boring. During these gatherings, I would spend time with my father's best friend's daughter, Elaine. Now, she was interesting. She was always so full of energy, adventurous, and beautiful. She was the only one who knew me truly and I knew her because of so many years we spent together. As friends, though. And what interested me even more was that she wouldn't fall for me like the other girls did. She would act normal. And that's what I love about her. Although, sometimes I would think if she's blind but when I found out that she doesn't care about looks and focuses more on personality, that was the moment, I knew that I wanted her.

We would often hangout together, as friends. I never confessed. I didn't feel the need to. Elaine was always so loving and caring towards me, I did not want anyone else but her. And her smile, it was so pretty. Especially when she'd smile at me, I'd get the feeling that she likes me as well. Why else would she be like this towards me? I just knew it that she liked me, and she's the only one I want.

During high school, Elaine was more focused on studying. And she didn't really seemed interested in anything else. If any guy would approach her, I would make him disappear out of sight. Because Elaine is mine and mine alone. Some people will call me crazy but that's just how I am. What's mine is mine and what's not mine and I want it, then I will get it. Thats how things work in my life.

However in university, Elaine started taking an interest in Brian. Brian was one of my close friend who I did not considered to be an idiot. He is a good man although he wasn't so good at university. He would literally crush people's feelings and trample on them like they're nothing. Then again, our whole group was like that including me. What's more amusing is the fact that we had no regret and would have fun doing so. I knew Brian was just playing around with Elaine. Which is why I never told anything to her because I knew that when he would break her heart, she will come to me. Although that did not happen, thanks to Jackson and his friends meddling. I really hated Elaine's friends. They were really annoying. Especially that Jackson. He would do those things on purpose which he knew would annoy me. I swear, I would never let anyone disrespect me like those guys do if it weren't for Elaine. She loves her friends and that is why I had to put up with them.
But it was during the end of our university, I started realising that Elaine might be slipping from my hands. I knew I had to do something. I wanted to confess but something was stopping me. All my life, I have always got what I wanted. I was never scared about not getting what I asked for. This was the first time I was feeling like this. Afraid. I didn't know what I would do if I don't have her. That's why I needed some kind of assurance, which would make her not say no to me.

She started getting busy in her job, helping Jackson and her friends, that whenever we would talk or meet, it would be for a little while. Even I got busy handling dad's business. Are people stupid? Why can't they just do what I tell them do? If it wasn't for my dad, I would've fired the people at work a long time ago. The people at the office were making me go insane. Everyone would keep on making mistakes. And one of them that would annoy the hell out of me was my personal assistant, Rebecca. Although she was the only one who could put up with me. She was Brian's younger sister. She was clumsy and would always make so many mistakes. What has she not done? Spilling coffee? Mixing up the documents? Falling down? She has done all of them. The only reason I hadn't fired her was because of her being my friend's little sister. Also, I don't know why but whenever she would stutter and say sorry, I'd kind of feel bad at yelling at her. Although I still believe the reason I hadn't gotten rid of her was because it would be such a drag to find a new assistant.
