Chapter 1: Well, F*ck

Chapter 1: Well, F*ck

Tyra just woke up from her sleep. She touched her forehead as she felt a terrible headache. This must be a hangover from her partying last night. She looked at her clock and saw that it was three in the morning.

Oh, I can still sleep.

Tyra lies down on her bed again without a second thought when her phone vibrates.

Bzzzzt!

My God! Who freaking calls this late! Ignore it. It'll shut up on its own.

Bzzzzt-Bzzzt!!!!

Bzzzzt!!!!

Ugh. She covers her head with a pillow hoping that whoever called will get the clue, but to her dismay, the phone still keeps on vibrating. She angrily grabs her phone and answers without looking who it was.

"What?!"

"Don't what me young lady! Where the hell are you?! You're supposed to be here an hour ago!"

"What do you me- who are-?" She then checks her phone and saw that it is her manager calling her. Oh, I'm screwed.

"Good morning Lyla, I am having a very terrible headache and my brain just stops working. Can you fill me in please?"

"YOU.ARE.SUPPOSED.TO.BE.HERE.AN.HOUR.AGO!"

"Yes, uhm, I- I don't exactly know where... Also, why should I be the-"

"Tyra, it's the day Maxwell Corp. is launching their new car. Aren't you the hired model to stand beside and showcase the said car?" Lyla said with a sweet and calm voice which sounds scary to Tyra, the more she hears it.

Gulp.

"Yes."

"Then get your *** here! It's almost 9 am and the launching will start at 10! Hurry up you sloth!"

As Tyra heard the time, she checks her phone and it's 8:47 am. Still rejecting the reality, she hurriedly ran towards her window and open the curtains only to be greeted with a blinding light from the sun.

"Shit!"

"Don't you swear at me Tyra!"

"No, not you. Myself! I'm gonna hang up now. Bye."

What to wear! My breath stinks, my hair is a mess, I haven't taken a shower!

In Maxwell Corp.

Maxwell Corporation is a multi-billion company and the best selling car company in Italy, owned by Giovanni Maxwell, a playboy bachelor in his early twenties. He inherited the company a year ago after his father died in a plane crash. It was rumored that the company will soon die in his hands. It was pretty obvious that it will be because of his lavish spending on luxurious jewels, properties and many more for his women. He never show any interest into the company when his father was still alive.

Giovanni had hoped that with this event, he could win the investors' trust again and also their money. The rumors are true and right now the company has a huge debt in the bank. Giovanni is sweating in his palm and constantly wiping it with his handkerchief.

A rumor is still a rumor if I don't admit to it.

"You said she'll be here last 10 minutes ago. Where is she? She's gonna ruin this!" Giovanni whispered to his secretary angrily while wiping his sweaty palms.

"Relax sir, she'll be here any minute now. I've talked to her manager. She said that Miss Tyra is on the way here and just had a traffic problem. She'll be here and everything's gonna be alright sir."

A security walked towards the two men and told them that Tyra just arrived and is getting ready for the event.

"That b*tch finally showed up." Giovanni smirks as he took a sip from his glass of whisky.

~♡~

"Okay, are you ready? Gosh, you look so beautiful." Lyla said sweetly as she neatly arranged the curly walnut brown hair of Tyra.

"Okay, I know that you're still mad, but know this. I love you and you're my best friend in this whole damn world and my-"

"I know you've been secretly partying last night with your neighbor. I also know that it was her birthday. And you owe me one for being late when I clearly reminded you about this event yesterday. A dozen times at least. Okay! Done with your hair."

Lyla claps her hands once and andjusted the mirror in front of Tyra.

"Ooh! I can't stay mad at you. I mean, you're so beautiful!"

Lyla stared at Tyra from head to toe admiringly. Who wouldn't? Tyra Kerr is a famous super model. She's famous for her stunning natural look. She has green eyes that matches her hair color. Reddish lips that only needs a little amount of lipstick and a body with the right amount of fats in the right places.

Tyra is wearing a red sleeveless and backless mermaid dress that enhances the curves of her body. Her hair was neatly tied into a bun. She wore long black gloves that reachers her elbow and wore jewelry that's adorned with diamonds. Her heels was glittering in silver to match her jewelries.

"Thank you Lyla. We should go, it's three minutes until 10 o'clock."

~♡~

The stage was lively with the perfomers singing and dancing. As it ends, Giovanni walks into the middle while holding a microphone.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen! I know you're here for this! The moment you've been waiting for! PX-Deluxe!"

The right side of the stage opens up and slowly a red car and a women in red gown emerged. The event continues as Giovanni explained the parts of the car and Tyra showcasing it.

The event ends early in the afternoon, and Tyra tirely gets into her car. Lyla puts her hand on the key to turn the car on. Tyra suddenly grabs her shoulder and gave her a white paper bag. Confused, she stops turning the car on and take the bag. When she opens it, she looked at Tyra with misty eyes.

"I know that I've been busy lately and we haven't hang out much as we did before, but I still remember. Happy Birthday Lyla, my bestfriend and my sister." Tyra looked at her while smiling sweetly.

Lyla took out the gift. It was a scrapbook with their pictures in it, from childhood to adulthood. Her memories came flooding in. She and Tyra are orphans. When Tyra arrived to the orphanage, she's only 5 years old and she is 7 years old, they were in the same room, the same bed and had the same chores. Since then, they became bestfriends and sisters. They both escaped when they learned that the orphanage was only a front for child trafficking. Luckily there was an old couple who took them in and raised them. But they died 3 years ago, leaving only the two of them with each other.

Tears continuously flow down Lyla's cheek and without saying anything, she hugged Tyra.

"I'm sorry Lyla, I'm sorry that I-"

"It's alright, I know. I understand. People get busy all the times."

"You know what? Why don't we shop together? Then let's have a drink afterwards?"

"That sounds like a plan. I'm in." Lyla said while wiping her tears and snot.

~♡~

At the bar.

"That's what I'm saying, why don't we live together? We can hire someone to take care of Grandpa's and Grandma's house."

"No can do Tyra, you know how important that place is to me. It'll be alright. Oops, I need to go to the restroom." Lyla smiles as she took another sip from her glass and head for the restroom.

As she came back to sit beside Tyra, they heard a shout.

"What was that?" Tyra asked.

"Oh, it's Giovanni."

"Giovanni? Giovanni Maxwell?"

"Yep! He's shouting because he's pissed off the event was not successful. I've heard on my way here that the investors are running away from him. Hahahaha, it's f*cking hilarious! Well, it's doomed the moment he set the event on morning with an atmosphere of a whorehouse. I mean did you saw the performers and their outfit and their performance? It's like Moulin Rouge only in sunrise instead of sunset."

"It doesn't matter when and how he execute the event. The point here is that he doesn't have a single idea how to do business and he's an arrogant selfish prick too. Why did I become the model of his car?"

"You know the agency. That asshole paid a lot, enough to make those bastards' pocket full... so full, that it spills."

Sigh.

"*A*nd you're pretty drunk right now. Come on, let's get you home."

"I ain't drunk, only tipsy."

"Let's find you a cab."

~♡~

"Be nice and get in Lyla. I've already told the driver where and text or call me when you get home."

"I will."

Tyra walks toward the parking lot when suddenly someone called her name.

"Tyra! You're Tyra right?"

Tyra turned to look who's calling her with the drunk voice. Oh, crap.

"Yeah, I'm right! I knew you're Tyra! The- the moment I saw tha- that body, I knew you're her. Why- why, why don't you- we, take a- Hey! don't walk away!"

As Tyra saw who it was, all of her senses tell her to run. When she heard what he said she immediately turned around and walked faster. As she walked fast, the man behind her walked faster than her even though he's drunk. Maybe because the man is taller than her thus have longer legs.

"Help!"

"HELP!"

Her walk becomes faster and faster until she ran towards her car without looking back. She finally reached her car and frantically looks for her car keys, then suddenly a man hugs her from behind and forcefully kisses her neck. She struggled and luckily found the car keys.

She elbowed the man and pushed him back and turned towards her car. She tries to insert the key to the lock with her shaking hands but the man grabs her by the shoulder and pushes her to the ground. He scanned Tyra like he's already taking her clothes off while licking his upper lip.

Tyra looked around for any sign if there's people nearby but there's no one.

Well, sht*.

"Giovanni, please calm down, we can talk-"

"I've always admired your beauty, your body. I've always fantasized you being on my bed shouting my name in pleasure. I've got a bad day today, so why don't you give daddy a hug, huh."

As Giovanni gets closer, Tyra searched for the car keys that got thrown away with her eyes. She finally found it, it was right beside the tire of her car. She stood up and tried pushing Giovanni. But her hands were caught by him.

"You like it rough huh, daddy likes it too." Giovanni leaned closer to steal a kiss from her.

Ugh, that foul breath!

Tyra didn't hesitate and headbutts Giovanni, then she kicked his balls and pushed him away with a great strength. She ran to grab the keys. She inserted the key to the lock and unlocked the car. She hurriedly get inside and immediately locked the door. Giovanni got up and bangs on the window that caught Tyra surprised and the key fell. While she was frantically looking for the key, Giovanni was searching for a way to break the car window.

Giovanni saw a fire extinguisher beside a column behind Tyra's car. On his way to get it, Tyra successfully found the key and inserted the ignition key to turn the car on. Then suddenly Giovanni smashed the fire extinguisher to the car window. Tyra steps into the acceleration pedal and drove away. She drove fast. She's too scared to care how fast she was going. Her eyesight gets blurry with her tears. She wiped them off with her hands without realizing the traffic light had turned to red.

A truck suddenly crashed into her car, directly at the driver's seat. No seatbelt and airbag can save her. She forcefully opened her eyes and look at her surroundings. Everything is dyed in red. She felt like something is coming out from her mouth, something sweet but more of a metallic taste. Blood gushed out from her mouth. She tried to cover her mouth but she has no energy left. She can't moved any part of her body and her eyes are slowly closing.

Ah well, fck*.
