His Addiction (Fate Happened)

Author's note:

Hey dear reader, before you begin, I'd like you to know this

Am a new writer and absolutely don't know much about writing so I'd appreciate it very much if you bear with me when I make mistakes and do correct me

Please don't hesitate to correct me, I actually need it the most because it makes me a better writer just the way you would want me to be

But if you won't correct me nicely like every other human being, I would like it very much if you just silently leave this place and don't comment or read any further else I would roast you so much that you won't find a face to even breathe with.

Now you can begin the story :)

New York can be an absolutely beautiful place to be, it brings opportunities and even make dreams come true. It's an excellent city especially when you're the ambitious one

Here is the story of an ambitious twenty five years old lady, a fresh university graduate student of business, her name is Anastasia Daniels

Graduating from NYU can be termed the best experience for Stacy, the beautiful, brunette haired , brown eyed and elegant lady was a second class graduate and it was much celebrated by her family because it was better than not having any degree at all

It was a month after her graduation that the story began.....

Stacy's POV

This is a morning that I've always anticipated, it is my little sister's birthday today, Lucy can be very annoying but she was the most accurate little sister that I can ever ask for

Dressing up for the day, I checked my phone for a message which was expected expected to add more joy to my mood this morning but it turned out to be the complete opposite

There was a big "FIRED" written on my screen, this was shocking, I quickly went to the website to check what mistake I did that would warrant my dismissal

"My big sister can't work for you anymore, you should see the way she's always stressed out when she comes back home, the file you requested for won't be sent because you need to release her from this bondage you call a work"

This was the message I saw on my phone which was obviously my little sister's handwork, rage, disappointment and remorse engulfed me at once. She thinks am always stressed right, well she would see how stressed I am when am done with her

I dialled her number and she picked almost as if she was expecting my call

"Hey sis, where are you at now, I booked a hotel for us", my sister said

"You still have the guts to speak, you dispicable girl, you got me fired because of your recklessness", I screamed at her

"Oh please, is that why you're upset, those people aren't paying you well anyways, it's not as if the pay was enough to get you another dress or shoes, c'mon, forget about those people", Lucy said without remorse

"Luciana Daniels!!" I screamed at her

"Alright fine, am sorry, you don't have to blow up my ear, I know I shouldn't have done that but honestly speaking, you aren't paid enough for the kind of stress they put you under", Lucy said sounding very caring

"You don't know how hard it was to get that job, it was just a two months old job Lucy and besides I really need the salary been paid, I used part of it to pay your tuition fee last month", I said sadly to her

"Really!! I thought dad paid everything", Lucy said and I rolled my eyes

"Of course you thought, I can't let that old man suffer alone, he's our only parents who hasn't let us become orphans so am trying to support him but you careless fingerling has refused me that luxury", I said with a frown on my face

"I've a news to cheer you up, Andrew is at the hotel that I currently booked today", my sister said and my frown, in fact my anger all together vanished

"Are you serious?" I asked her

"Yup, he checked in some minutes ago at the VIP section, am a hacker so don't ask me how I got the informations, anyways do you remember that today is my birthday", Lucy asked but I was already bought

"Where is the place you're at, I'd like to come over now, even a glimpse of him would satisfy me enough", i said to her dropping my phone on the dresser after putting it on speaker then I proceeded to changing my clothes

"It's the hotel just three streets past our house", Lucy said

"Three streets past our house...well that should be...oh no Lucy, don't tell me it's the one am thinking about", I said in total dismay

"It is, Stacy, my boyfriend paid for it", she said and I rolled my eyes again as I did a touch up on my make-up

"I did tell you to stop that relationship of yours, Roland isn't a good guy", I said like every big caring sister would

"Stop sounding like dad, I like him, he loves me, I take his money, he gives me his attention, it's a fifty fifty business sis", Lucy said sounding very proud of herself

"That's what am talking about, you're only using him, he isn't a good guy which I said but that doesn't warrant you to do that to him, he's at least nice to you", i said brushing my hair for the fifteenth time this morning

"Oh please I don't want to know about how am treating him, he doesn't complain anyways, are you coming or not", Lucy said

"Of course am coming, dad is out to meet an old friend so we've got until evening", I said with a sweet smile on my face

"Freedom from work does do you good, I would be waiting for you", she said as I disconnected the call before taking a final look at myself at the mirror.

Elegance was written in every body movement of mine but I didn't have the money nor the connections to flaunt my beauty, everyone has told me that i was beautiful enough to go for miss ameriav but I don't want to because it would only burden my family the more

Sighing i took my handbag and left to go stay with my sister, securely closing the door, I went to stop a taxi.

Meanwhile;

Sitting down comfortably on his bed, was the fashion star and super designer, Andrew Wilson. He was the wealthiest and owned the largest trending designer company in the whole of New York.

The handsome, tall and dark haired billionaire was every lady's guy but he was set on not having affairs with any lady because he knew they all wanted money. Well to be very frank, his first love betrayed him and he's still recovering from that :)

Andrew's POV

I have no idea why Pascal isn't here yet, the meeting would be in the next two hours and I need to be done with that so i can go meet my mom who hasn't seen for for two months since i left on a business trip and only came back yesterday.

I was just about calling him when he came inside with my persomal assistant, Norman would be looking like a petrified and lost chick whenever he sees me but tht was even more pathetic compared to his sluggishness

"Am running late, where are the files", I asked the standing scared man beside Pascal

"I have it prepared sir, here are what you would use", he said bringing out a tab and displaying his hard work to me

"And how many are coming", I asked him, nit that the question was necessary but because I was looking for an excuse to get rid of him

"Thirty five sir, the minister and other reputable company owners from twenty countries", Norman said

"Did you get the Seattle's complains settled and have you done away with the French racist attack on my lastest design", i asked totally bored

"I took care of the Seattle but the French...." I didn't let him finish

"You're fired", i said turning my full attention to the tab on my hands

My best buddy Pascal who stood at the corner just sighed, yeah he wasn't too surprised, I've been looking for excuses to fire this Norman of a assistant, he worked very well and neatly too but he was too sluggish and my patience level isn't something an proud of because it's very short

"Place up a vacancy in his place, I want to go have lunch", i said to pascal who nodded as i walked out of the room.

Author's note:

Both Pascal and Andrew are best of buddies, they grew up together and did almost everything together.

Coming from the Willow family, Pascal was a gentle dove, he doesn't like trouble and that's what made him every bully's Target.

Andrew was the wild and carefree boy who is popularly known as 'swindler' right from elementary. He was handsome which he knows but then he uses it right to his advantage which would make you regret meeting him if you ever had an agreement with him.

Andrew could be mean and all that but Pascal was the only friend he truly had and trust me when I say, he deals with anyone who makes his friend shrink back in fear, even their teachers were not exempted and in return, Pascal became very loyal to him and helped him with any brainy work because he was the smart one.

They both attended all educational height together but fate decided to make Pascal an orphan and he wasn't able to afford his schooling fees so he dropped out of college. Andrew tried everything he could to help Pascal back on his feet but they both were at the same financial level at that time and his parents had nothing to offer

Even his fees was something they struggled to pay so Andrew had to let go of his friends educational life but they still remained best of friends

Stacy's POV:

I entered Langham hotel and felt the luxurious furnishings and look almost immediately, Lucy can sure date rich guys but this is absolutely beautiful, I tried as much as possible to maintain a good look and not embarrass myself in the mist of million people

I was checking around but it was impossible not to be noticed as I walked past the security

"Is there someone you're looking for", he asked with a smile

"Yes, my sister, she's here", I said trying to appear more elegant so he won't suspect that am as nervous as anything

"You don't have to act up, I can show you to the receptionist because it's quite hard to locate her if it's your first time here", he said with a smile still on his face

"Please do show me", I said in defeat, it was better that he alone makes fun of me than the whole of Langham

"Alright, just move to the left from this place, welcome to Langham hotel and suites miss, hope you have fun", he said and I smiled at him

I didn't know this people were nice, he was smiling so genuinely that it'd be wrong to say he had a bad intention unlike those other small hotels where the securities, in fact everyone would have their faces frowned up as if you were the reason for their bad luck

I went inside just like he said and found the receptionist, well the security man was right, someone like me won't have noticed the receptionist

"I'd like a direction to the elevator", I said

"Oh, you must be miss Daniels", she said with a smile which got me surprised

"Okay, something fishy is going on", I thought to myself

"Yes, I am miss Daniels, is something wrong", I asked and she smiled more broadly

"Mr Roland Hudson had a room reserved for you", she said to me

"Roland?? But why me?" I asked her and she chuckled

"Here is the key to your room, enjoy your stay and yes, happy birthday to you", she said to me

That was when it suddenly dawned on me, she mistook me for Lucy and yes, Roland Hudson was her boyfriend's name, the son of the minister

Not wanting to spoil the atmosphere or make the woman realize that she have mixed things up, I smiled and her

"Thank you ma'am", I said

"Room 613, you're lucky, you got a VIP suite", she said and I nodded at her before turning away.

Lucy's POV

Today was a day I planned to surprise my sister, I know it's my birthday and am the one supposed to receive gifts and be surprised and all but I know that my big sis deserved it the most

Her birthday was last month but she didn't even have time to celebrate it all because of that silly stressful job of hers and I know that she would try to prepare something for me on my birthday so I decided to plan her own birthday while she plans mine

Ronald had gotten a room for me at the VIP section but I told the receptionist that it was for my sister and I know that she would recognize who am talking about because who could miss our striking resemblance

I had also found out before hand that his father was having a conference with New York's number one fashionista so what could be more delightful than having my sister's room booked just two doors away from her celebrity role model

I knew that Stacy would be shocked and happy, I would just patiently waiting for her call to hear a feedback.

Two hours later, my phone vibrated, I picked up the call without checking the caller ID

"Hello Lucy", I heard my sister's voice at the other end

"Yes, are you here already?" I asked as if I wasn't ready to receive her yet

"Yes but I think there's a misunderstanding, the receptionist mistook me for you, she gave me your supposed to be room key", my sister whispered

"How could she have done that, where are you at right now", I asked feigning annoyance

"Am at the front of the elevator, look, don't worry, why don't I just bring you the key, are you around here", she asked me

"Alright but I would want you to check out the room for me, you know am the birthday girl and I don't want anything ruining my mood today", I said with a pout

"You successfully ruined my business and I won't get you any birthday gift because I have to save it for other very important thing", she said almost in a pitiable tone

"Okay, I understand, Roland's gift is more than enough, c'mon go check it out and call me for a feedback", I said quickly disconnecting the call because I know she would still try to talk me into going there myself.

Andrew's POV

I got out of my room and headed to the lobby, it was really useless trying to talk things through with Norman, I don't want him working for me anymore and am sure he must have noticed too

I sat there as wine was being poured to a glass for me but I didn't feel like taking it so I just turned away from it and looked out, mostly at the entrance

That was when I noticed a black haired lady whose pathetic features are undeniable, she wasn't too tall but was elegantly dressed but was looking around like a lost chicken

She said some words to the security man before coming inside looking more relieved, no one could tell what she said to the man out there but I knew for certain that she came looking for man or was invited by one

As an experienced fashion designer, I knew the lady had a taste for fashion and could also be a model if she wanted but just as if I can smell it, she reeks of poverty and elegance just seemed to be what she inherited from a bloodline

By her walks and sharply focused jaws, I can deduce that she would make a modelling company jealous but come to think of it, she's no better than Camille

My Cami had the prettiest features any lady I've ever met has, she seems to be aloof and uncaring but she actually care a lot, her works in the modelling industry has made her refuse to keep in touch with me

Pascal do tell me to move on with my life but when she's still interested in me, why should I let go of her, after all she's the one my whole being lives for, she's the reason why I am here today, I arrived hard for her so I can't let go of her

Thinking of her has slightly changed my mood so I just got up, texted a message to Pascal who immediately responded so I walked up to the elevator to get back to my room.

Author's Note

Camille is Andrew Wilson's college lover, he met her when they were on their first year of college, she was into modelling while he was into fashion

He first became crazy for her and did everything for the love he felt for her but Cami wasn't interested in him but she needed someone to use at that point so she pretended she was into him for good four years

She had her Target and goal, Andrew was only a stepping stone for her so she used him to her satisfaction, when she graduated and got a big hit with a big company, she broke things off with him immediately

Andrew was shocked when Camille stopped coming to his home, she won't pick his calls, neither would she reply his messages then after ghosting him for two months she appeared again and said she needed space that she was still picking her self up and she needs to find her true worth before she comes back

Andrew was a broke ass back then and couldn't do anything but look for ways to help her pick herself up. Pascal warned him severally to let go of her because the girl has shown her red flags but Andrew had fallen too deeply in love to let go of her, he didn't even realize she was using him

The night he met her at a club with another guy was the night he knew he had to become somebody in life because she disgraced the man out of him. He began to work harder to make it big not because he felt heartbroken but because he had hope that Camille treated him like that because he had nothing to care for he with
