“I already did what you asked me and I am not going back there to act as you, I didn’t even spend up to 30 minutes before everyone became suspicious.”, Heaven said.
“And that harry of a guy say that you both slept with each other, is that true?”, She asked and Nevaeh nodded.
“But it was only once and it was a mistake, we didn’t do it after that day.”, Nevaeh replied.
“No wonder you are so guilty that you don’t even want to face your boyfriend, he loves you so much and yet you cheated on him. All thanks to you, I lost my first kiss, jeez! The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become.”
“He kissed you? I’m sorry heaven and thank you.”, Nevaeh said.
“I told him that we should break up but he didn’t say anything afterwards, I don’t even know what he has on his mind. I guess you will figure that out yourself by tomorrow when you go there.”, She said.
“You know that I can’t go see him tomorrow right? And besides mom asked me to come and spend time with her since I haven’t had time because of work.”, Nevaeh said.
“Then do you want to take some time off then? You can just ask for a leave instead, they should be able to grant it since you have been so busy working since the past few months.”, Heaven advised.
“I can’t ask for a leave especially when the company has a new project, please just continue to act as me for now till I’m ready to come back.”, She said.
“I’m not going back to act as you, it is so tiring and just so boring. I also have my life to live as well.”, Heaven complained.
“I promise that it won’t be for long, I just want to get myself and relax my mind for a while because I am getting worked up with work life and love life.”, She replied.
“You know I don’t like this right?”
“Yeah I know, thank you sis.”
“I think you should inform that harry of a guy, I don’t want to have him be thinking that I am his girlfriend.”
“I will.”

Rowan’s mansion
“Good morning!”, Heaven greeted as she hit Leon on his head and waved to Mrs Janice.
“Was that necessary?”, Leon asked with a frown and heaven just giggled.
“Where’s ruby?”, She asked.
“You talk as if you don’t know ruby, she’s probably late because she spent so much time doing her makeup.”, Mrs Janice said.
“Oh that’s true, how could I forget!”, Heaven quickly added.
“I wonder why cold monster hasn’t come out yet, I have been here for like 15 minutes now and yet he hasn’t even come out yet.”, Leon stated.
“Maybe it’s because Nevaeh dumped him, I really feel so bad for him.”, Mrs Janice said.
“Really? Is that why he isn’t out yet?”
“Good morning everyone!”, Ruby said as she rushed in.
“Gosh! I thought I was already late.”, She said and released a breath of relief.
“When you spend too much time trying to look beautiful.”, Leon said.
“I’m not trying to look beautiful, I’m trying to look more beautiful.”, She answered.
“Isn’t that the same thing?”, He asked.
“It isn’t.”, Ruby, heaven and Mrs Janice chorused together.
“Wh@tëver!”
Rowan had spent all night drinking, he just didn’t know what to do except drink beer throughout.
He woke up with a terrible headache, he decided to get bottle water for his sore throat and he totally forgot that he wasn’t alone in the house anymore and he went out of his room without his mask.
Everyone gasped as they saw Rowan without a mask, it was their first time seeing his whole face.
He had a scar on his right side of his face and it turned out that’s what he has been hiding for years.
When he turned and saw them staring at him, he started having an attack immediately.
“Please don’t come closer.”, He struggled to say as he hid his face.
“Mr Rowan are you okay? Should we take you to the hospital?”, They asked as they moved closer to him.
“I think we should take him to the hospital.”, Mrs Janice said and they agreed.
“Don’t you dare come near me!!!”, He yelled as he threw wh@tëver he could lay his hands on.
“What should we do?”, Ruby asked scared.
“I think we should call Mr James.”, Mrs Janice said and Leon quickly brought his phone and called him.
“Please don’t close closer.”, He said with a teary voice this time around as he used his hands to hide his face.
After a while, Mr James rushed there immediately and he met Rowan on the floor hiding his face.
“Mr Rowan it’s me, James.”, He said but Rowan wouldn’t still raise his head up.
“Where’s your mask?”, He asked.
“It’s in my room.”, He replied still not looking up and he quickly went to get it.
Rowan quickly put it on and after some time, he finally looked up.
“I’m sorry for troubling you Mr James, I promise that it won’t happen again.”, He said.
“Mr Rowan why didn’t you pick your call yesterday, I was worried.”
“I probably didn’t see.”, He replied.
“How is that possible, not so many people call you.”
“You can go now, I will be okay.”, He said.
“Are you sure about that?”
“Yeah I’m sure, I can’t die without seeing you get married.”, He said and James said.
“Ok then, I will be leaving now. Please take care of Mr Rowan.”, He said to the four people who just stared as if they had just seen a ghost.
They all looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Heaven was the one that was shocked the most.
Nevaeh never told her that it was this serious, she thought that his sickness was only that he can’t associate with people.
But with what she saw earlier, she didn’t even know what to do. First of all, she isn’t his girlfriend and even if she was, they have broken up , so she has no right to stay with him.
“Don’t move too close to me, I panic.”, He said and they nodded.
They all went back to their seats and Rowan went to his.
“Let’s just order something, I am hungry.”, Leon said trying to change the topic.
Everyone said the food that they wanted.
“What of you Mr Rowan?”, Leon asked and Rowan just looked at everyone.
“There is no need, I have more than enough food in my kitchen.”, He said.
“Really? That means we can eat here to save money.”, Leon said and he wasted no time into running into the kitchen.
“No one is allowed into my ….!”, Rowan didn’t even finish his statement when Leon was out of his sight.
“I should go check it out too.”, Ruby thought.
“I will check what he is doing.”, Ruby said and ran after Leon.
“You are also not ….”, He didn’t finish and she was already gone.
“I can’t allow them to enjoy alone, I need to join them.”, Mrs Janice thought.
“I will go and bring them back.”, Mrs Janice said and ran off.
“No one is allowed to touch my things.”, He said after them.
“Should I give an excuse too? I can’t be the only one here with him considering the fact that we technically broke up.”, heaven thought.
“Why am I even acting like I was the person that dated him? Why am I saying we broke up? I haven’t even gotten a boy to like me, what a shame!”
“Did you really mean what you said yesterday? Are you really going to break up with me? I don’t want to act too desperate, that’s why I won’t force you to be with me but I want you to reconsider.”, He said walking towards her.
“Why is he coming closet?”
“Please give me a month and I will do anything you want, I want a chance to win your heart back and if I don’t succeed then you can just break up with me and if I do, we will continue our relationship.”, He said.
“A month? But I can’t stay here for a month?”, She thought.
“Okay fine.”, She said and he smiled.
“Why us he smiling? What’s he planning?”
Rowan touched her face and brought his face closer to hers.
“Why is he coming closer? Does he want to kiss me again? Jeez! Heaven you are just overthinking.”
Theirs lips were just inches from each other when heaven heard a sound from the kitchen and she pushed his face away with force and quickly stood up.
“I will talk to them, they shouldn’t touch your things like that.”, She said and was about to run away when she missed her step and fell down.
“What’s this? How can I just fall?”, she said as she struggled to stand up.
“You are acting weird today but I find it cute.”, He said as he was about to carry her but she just crawled away from him.
“I’m fine, you don’t need to help me.”, She said and quickly ran out of his sight.
“Is this how I will be miserable from now henceforth?”, She thought and ruffled her hair roughly.
★★★

Rowan’s life will no longer be peaceful with the kind of people they put in his group ?
