CHAPTER 2

I woke up the next morning receiving a call from my boyfriend, so even though half of my soul was still asleep, I quickly got up and answered his call.

"Hello, Anton" I said cheerfully while walking to the bathroom. "Good morning, Babe, sorry I wasn't able to answer your call last night because I have a training." he said gently, making me smile while facing the mirror, here in the bathroom.

I brush my teeth and continue talking to him, "It's ok, I understand. So, do you still have training today? Are you coming here to cond---” he cut me out and spoke. "Sorry Babe, I still can't go, We still need to train better as the finals approach. We need to win you know that right?” he said softly and gently which seemed to soften my heart immediately.

I gently nodded and said, "Ok, I understand just call me when you need me ok, I miss you" I was biting my lower lip as I played with the soap here in the sink.

I'm like a teenager who still enjoys phone calls with crushes. "I miss you too, don't worry after the game let's eat dinner" he sweetly said that wrapped my heart with his warm love.

"Ok, you said that. I love you Anton" I said and waited for his answer with a smile.

My heart is beating so fast, my heart is melting.

"Anton let's go!" instead of Anton's answer I expected to hear, I heard his teammate's voice. "Ok, I'm coming" Anton answered here, so I stood up straight and waited for his I love you back.

"Babe, I have to go they're calling me for warm-up ru---" I cut him and said, "Ok, I love you Anton" I uttered.

"I know, I have to go. I'll call you later by" my lips slowly parted and glanced at my reflection through the mirror. "No I love you too?" I took a deep breath before putting the towel on my shoulders and headed to the shower.

I take a shower and do my routine, put make-up on, my black wig, and my fake moles. I was covering my red long hair because I know Arries will instantly recognize me. With my black hair and gothic look, he won't ever think that I'm his sister when our paths cross in New York streets.

I wore a black shirt, below the knee black lace skirt. I also wore a black leather coat and black boots. "Shet, I'm beautiful." I praise myself when I face the mirror.

Shet is sexy and I'm beautiful. "Slay bitch" I whisper and leave my condo.

Get back to work, “AGAIN! YOU'RE LATE POLA!!! WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE FOR TODAY!!!” My ears were covered by the Manager's voice again to greet me.

"I lock myself in the bathroom Sir, I have to break the door and it took me 30 minutes because I'm weak" because my excuse was so lame, he became speechless and massaged his forehead and left the staff room.

“Hehe…” I chuckled and start changing my clothes and as I step out of the changing room manager call me out and ordered me to clean all the rooms on the second floor.

"Oh wow, it's really fun to work... especially!" I sighed as I entered the first room. What is this, just the first room, it's like an animal has slept in it.

"You always put me in the dirty room!!!" I haze and start cleaning with matching masa ng loob.

The salary I receive from this job is not good. All I get is resentment and all the filth in the world.

“So happy Olivia!” I whispered annoyed and tried to scrape the chocolate dirt off the white wall of this hotel room. "What are you doing in this room, you thought it was chocolate painting so you smeared it on the wall!" I can't stop complaining while cleaning.

I have the right!

While stopping this dirt, my phone suddenly rang. I stop and check on it for a second. When I saw that Tito Knoxx was calling, I immediately ran to answer him.

"Hello, Uncle Knoxx!!" I warmly welcome this answer. I heard him chuckle from the other line before he spoke. "How's my Olivia?" it said from the other line.

"I'm doing good Tito, how 'bout you??"

"Still handsome as f*ck, haha..." I chuckled as he joked. But it's true Tito Knoxx never gets old, he's always that hot businessman that all W*****d readers dreamed of.

"By the way My Olivia, I talk to your mom. She's asking me if I know where you lived." I was immediately nervous when Tito said that. Did he say it to her?

"Uncle..." I whispered.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell her a thing. Even your address, I just said that I don't know where you are in New York. So, how long are you going to hide from them?" Tito's voice showed that he was serious so I sat up straight before answering.

"I'm not gonna tell them uncle, I'm going to redeem myself, my worth, and my words. I promise you that, so please just keep this a secret between us” I beg and gaze at the window.

"Ok, I trust you and you are worth my lies, so do whatever it takes you there, and call me when you need me. Ok?” I nodded even though he couldn't see it and said. "Yes, Uncle."

"Ok, I have to go. Business meetings, again stay safe and lovely my Olivia" he playfully said.

"Bye Tito" I end up the call and put it back in my pocket with a smile on my face. Tito Knoxx has always been my superhero since I started to fail.

He's the only person that saves me during my time. He even bought me my condo to hide from my parents and from my own shame.

I still remember that night where he believed in me and trusted me..

I was crying all out as I walk under the rainy street here in Manhattan New York. I don’t have anything; I lose everything in just a snap.

In just one snap, I lose my hope and my dreams.

I don't know where I'm going now, I'm nowhere. My chest is very tight and my whole body is weak.

I don't know what else I should feel right now. I am very confused and confused at this time.

I've lost all of my parent's investment, they trusted me with that money and I was so confident with myself as I left the country but look at me now.

I lost it!

I stopped walking and sat on the side of the road, I hugged my knees and cried like a lost kid.

"WHY!!! Why did this have to happen to me!!!!” I shouted and looked at the dark night sky. "AHHHHH" I was crying out loud in the middle of the streets.

I was accepting all of my sorrows and was startled when a motorbike stopped beside me. I lifted my head to look at it.

"Why are you crying under the rain? My olivia" I immediately stood up and hugged Tito Knoxx.

I hugged him like how I longed for my father's embrace. "Shhhh... Crying will only make you ugly" he playfully said.

He slowly helped me get on his motorcycle and quickly made me put on the sout helmet. He brings me to Lola Lizeth's mansion.

And I tell him everything that happens, "So, are you planning on hiding this from your parents?" he seriously asks. I slowly nodded and drank this cup of coffee he gave me.

"Where are you going after this? I mean I'm going to leave tomorrow, where are you going to stay? You already left the condo that your dad bought you. What's your plan?" he asked as he sat and looked at me seriously.

"I-I d-don't k-know" I really don't know, I'm useless after all this, I can't face my parents because of what happened.

"Ok, I'll buy you a new condo to stay in Manhattan, That's the only thing I can do for now and I'll keep this secret for your sake" he uttered, standing up and coming to me to hug me.

I hugged him back and cried in his arms, I don't know what to do this time.

"You're mistakes and failures won't define how good and great you are, don't just stop here. Keep fighting and aim that goal, ok" he gently whispers, kisses my forehead and let me sleep inside the mansion and the next day before he continues on his flight. He took me to the condo he bought and left New York.

I continued mopping the floor until half of the rooms on this floor were clean. When I left a room, I met three women walking towards the elevator.

I accidentally heard what they were talking about as I passed by them. "Kc will take care of your investments, trust us, all your dreams will come true here in New York."

I couldn't help but fake a smile when I heard that, because that's exactly what two people I trusted told me.

Darcy and Carlin, the people who betrayed me.

It was my first day here in New York and now, I'm holding the money for my future clothing business. I'm ready to face the new stage of my life.

"HELLO!!!! NEW YORK!!!! POLAR.CO IS COMING!!!” I said cheerfully and walked down the beautiful street of New York City.

I let my shining blood red hair flow and dance with the wind here in NYC. I'm wearing a black dresser shirt paired with white short shorts with a leather jacket on. I'm also wearing my mom's gift, my first Saint Laurent white shoes.

This is a very special day for me, I'm going to open my own business clothing line here in New York City. And I'm sure this is going to be the best clothing shop here in New York City.

While walking in the city streets I stopped when I saw these two girls stepping out in a clothing line shop here in New York. they both look so fabulous and smart.

They glanced at me as they noticed me staring at them with admiration. "Um... yes?" they asked.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" I asked, they both looked at each other before they nodded. I wanna be friends with them,

"Oh my gosh, I'm Olivia. I'm new here in New York but I'm planning to buy this space beside your shop to open my own clothing brand.” I said enthusiastically while pointing to the adjacent available space here next to them.

Before I arrived here in New York, I immediately learned the details of this space. This is why I plan to build my business. I did my research and I'm sure this will be the place where I put my clothes.

My Polar. Clothing Co.

"Oh, what a co-incident we are selling this out space for the lowest price are you in, I mean it's more affordable that this space" said one of them.

I couldn't speak immediately so they introduced themselves, "Hi, I'm Darcy Lorens and this is Carline Smith" they introduced.

I slowly nodded and my heart is racing in excitement, I don't know but I feel it's better if I buy a cheaper space so that the money Dad gave me can be used more widely.

"Don't worry, Olivia, we'll give you a great discount, you can trust us" they said.

My heart is pounding so fast and just answered. I will trust you guys” that's the start of my wonderful friendship with Darcy and Carline. They teach me all I need here in New York.

They are really a good person and great friends of mine. Months passed by the process is of papers is going well.

"Olivia, don't worry about anything, about the papers I will give it to you all after you send the whole payment," Darcy said and smiled at me, and, also fixed my hair.

"Your dreams come true, Olivia" Carline cheered us up and hugged me, they both hugged me. This is my new place and new people.

"I'll send the payment tonight and I'll see both of you tomorrow," I said, they both nodded at me and separated our way home.

When I got home, I immediately approved the transfer of money to the account they gave me. After sending it, I sleep peacefully and dream of my shop.

And after the night the story just flipped.

"Hello, where are Darcy Lorens and Carline Smith they said that we should meet here about the transpiring of lot papers" I said as I entered Darcy's shop.

A girl approached me and said, “Ahm, Hi, I’m Jalsey. I’m the co-owner of this shop and I don’t know who you are talking about?” she confusedly said.

"Co-owner? Aren't the partners in this shop Darcy and Carline?” I whisper. "You're a Pinay? Hi, actually, we don't know Darcy and Carline here my Ate and I own this shop. And what are you talking about transpering of lot? You mean this lot?” he asked and pointed to the shop where we were standing.

"No, Darcy owns it, and they sell me this place for 15000 dollars." I said and my chest started beating fast because of the nervousness.

"Sorry, but we are not selling our space, lot, and shop you have been robbed, Miss."

"N-no."
