The hate I feel for you

"So in the End Rowan and Violet didn't tie the knot" that statement wasn't new it was the hot sentence on everyone's lips. still, my ears perked up as I heard two girls gossiping some distance away while walking around the beach with Violet.

I'm pretty sure Violet heard too because she suddenly came to a halt.

"Chelsea I am not surprised. Even though Violet was Always showing the whole world cute pictures of her and Rowan, I've always known their relationship won't last, and don't get me started with that he gave her an engagement ring," the voice paused and scoffed "that was just a charade.

If Rowan Hugo didn't end up with Cyna-k, Vikky blues, golden-vibes, Paulina hales, and the rest of it then why Violet-wills' of all people" All those names mentioned are top celebrities, actress models, and singers but I don't give a fuck. the fact that they were indirectly down-grading Violet's worth, got me boiling inside collars.

Violet may not be as popular as them now, but She has a very successful music career that so many girls would envy and at her young age she had already accumulated a huge amount of net worth.

"I am a fan of violet" another voice invaded my thought "but her love life is wack. She can never keep a man in her life. Isn't that girl cursed or something Chelsea?" They both burst into laughter.

"So much for posting rowan with the caption, "yours for keeps" They chorused the last statement in a sing-song voice and again burst into laughter. Slowly, I turn sideways to stare at Violet and I was met with her doleful face hiding beneath the shelter of the sun hat she was wearing.

It was the same face she had worn on that day she walked into the house and divulge the breakup news between her and Rowan.

Rowan didn't only break up with her because she got pregnant for him, he asked her to abort the child. When in fact they were close to getting married. I know I shouldn't be accustomed to blaming but I once warned Violet against Rowan. I never liked that man. He is nothing but a shameless player.

ROWAN HUGO, not like I cared to know much about him, but for a man of his status, his name alone is on limelight. He's the richest man in the whole of Texas. I heard he owns other personal corporations But the only one the world or rather me is made aware of, is Horizon Art. he's the president of HORIZON ART GALLERY which comes second after Mum.

but he still manages to be so famous. Apart from being known as the youngest billionaire in TEXAS, he has a very ugly reputation.

He's such a conceited devil.

So many stories revolved around how girls flocked themselves around him just because he is some dangerously charming billionaire and how he does nothing but use and dump them. Some girls even go as far as committing suicide once rejected by Rowan. He was a walking demon, cold-hearted and wicked. I couldn't believe he would tell violet to abort his baby and break up with her as if it wasn't enough. What sort of a man does that?

Just the mere thought of him got grenades exploding in my head. It's been days now since the break-up happened and I'd spent it, cheering violet up. I took her out and tried so hard to brighten her mood but it seemed like the universe was against my efforts as everywhere we went, news of violet's break-up with Rowan filled the air. In the mall, in the clubs, in parks, every fucking place people gossiped about her break up with Rowan.

Wherever I and violet walked, we went with a face mask, sun shades, and sometimes an umbrella hat. It was not only to keep herself away from the torrents of the paparazzi but to hide away her tears and gloomy disposal. "I'm sorry violet. Please don't waste your precious tears on that good-for-nothing coward. He isn't worth your expensive tears" I advised her watching her struggle to control her emotions.

I wiped violet's tears away with my fingers and clasped a hand onto her shoulder mildly. "I was such a fool to believe in his words. I wish he dies and rots in hell" Violet cursed, eyes flashing with rage and anger dancing within them.

Lurching herself towards me, she leaned on my shoulders and I felt her tears penetrating my clothes. It was ripping my heart to see Violet breaking down every nanosecond.

A lone tear trickled down my cheek. I want to hurt Rowan the same way he hurt my Violet. She did everything to respect him and make him happy but what did he do?

He treated her like she was a whore. No, Violet Wilbur isn't my twin. She isn't even my biological sister. She's my Foster sister who'd loved me like a biological sister, in fact, the Wilbur or to be more exact, Mrs. Aurelia Wilbur, Violet's mother, didn't birth me but she treats me just like her own daughter.

To be honest I can't remember who my real family is or who I am as I suffer from amnesia but I choose not to anyways.

The Wilburs treats me like I'm their blood. If my real family were out there and they did care for me, they would have come searching for me months ago. Well not like they might recognize me if they see me cause I can still recall violet, my Foster sister explaining to me how she had picked me up with her car on that rainy morning.

According to her, it was a very early and rainy morning, the weather was already bad enough and I was walking unconsciously, crying like someone tired of life. until I staggered onto the road and everything happened so fast, before she could break, a fatal accident happened.

My face was badly mutilated, so I was told. therefore, a plastic surgery was run on me giving me a whole different face now. Right, no one in my past can recognize me now. I should be the one to remember them.

I don't feel like a stranger, not for one second. The Wilburs make sure to treat me so lovingly.

I've always hated rowan Hugo right from the moment I started hearing news about him, with every fiber in me, and seeing how Violet had become a shadow of herself and tarnishing her image, increases my hatred for him. This wasn't the Violet who use to Be all high-spirited and in the spotlight.

But now nobody talks about her achievements anymore. They are all focused on her failed relationship with that man whore, Rowan.

And This continued for like a week, the break-up news remained in limelight. The whole world was against violet and suddenly on Rowan's side and what pained me most was that none of them knew the full fucking story! Why would they blame violet for what that motherfucker did to her?

I disliked men but Rowan, I hated the most with everything in me. Damn it! I wish I could just tear Rowan into pieces. No matter how much we try to hide it, the stupid media and nosy paparazzi always had something to gossip about and write about Violet's and Rowan's failed relationship. If I and him cross paths, heaven helps his soul because I would make sure he pays for everything he did to my sister.

"Let's get revenge on Rowan." I was about to slide out a pack of heels from the rack when I suddenly heard that voice. twirling around, I was met with the face of a viper. No, this isn't Violet, not the Violet who had managed to be all spirited from the moment we traipse into this mall.

Her face was emitting rage and anger. Eyes traveling around her, I noticed she was clenching her phone. As my attention was drawn to her phone screen, it doesn't take time for me to acknowledge the reason for her furry. It was a photo of Rowan's selfie with a girl.

Probably his new fling. Woah! Such a shameless male slut. It's not even up to a month yet.

"He'd already moved on so soon hazel. He couldn't even try to pretend that I meant a cent to him at least." Traitorous tears rolled down Violet's cheeks even though she was trying to maintain a strong facade and I know, I know this was the most painful part of all.

"Hazel I want him to feel the same pain he'd inflicted on me."

"Of course, he will Violet" placing my hands on her shoulders I continued "The universe will deal with him. Karma will do the trick."

"No!" Was Violet's vile response "fuck karma. I don't have such patience to wait for karma. That bastard Rowan thinks he can get away after breaking my self-worth. He played my hot and cold, he ruined me, he deceived me, and most especially humiliated me to the whole world and now you want me to sit and wait for karma?"

"But what can we do about..."

"I want to do the same thing he did to me, I want to ruin him and if you truly love me as your sister hazel, you'll help me with this. I need you to get into his life and Do the trick." Violet drop the bomb, her eyes blazing fire brick like that of a hungry lion about to devour his prey, and when I devolved what she just said, A gasp was my response.

She wants me to fucking Take revenge against rowan or to be more clear, sneak my way into Rowan's life? I don't know how to put this but crossing paths with that scum and not having anything to do with him is the last thing I want to do. Hell, I'll rather die than set my eyes on him even. But right now, I felt pummeled into a critical dilemma.

Please myself by turning down the first request Violet had ever asked from me or Accept which will mean me getting close to that devil and the more I think about it, turning down Violet seems to be the nearest option.

But how could I turn my back against this stranger who'd done nothing but loved me unconditionally like a biological sister?

Haxel POV

Call me selfish, judge me all you want, and trust me I would t hold any grudge against you. I've hated myself for turning Violet down.

Yes, the very first favor my dear sister ever asked of me, I let her down the cause of my selfish reasons.

But maybe I had better reasons not to push through with this revenge against rowan. I mean wouldn't We be stooping to his level by playing his dirty games with him?

I believed in Karma but unfortunately Violet didn't.

From the very moment I turned her down, she cut me out of her life but that isn't even the most painful part of it.

Seeing Violet breaks down every single day, how she lashes out at everyone, and not being able to comfort her, hurts so much.

I want to stand by her in these difficult segments of her life but how can I do that when she's completely labeled me 'An enemy'

"Violet I am begging you please rethink your decision and come perform please" my ears twitched to the sound of voices in our living room.

I was heading to the kitchen but those voices in the living room sound like they are discussing something serious.

Once I had approached the living room, I perched by a corner listening to whoever was speaking. It was Oscar, violet's personal photographer. He was speaking with violet. Violet had her arms folded and she shook her head repeatedly.

"I am not singing for anybody!" she yelled in exasperation. I have never seen violet this rude. This past couple of days had brought out a side of her that I didn't like.

"But the mayor is the one requesting for you to sing at the opening of his new house. Would you refuse the mayor?" He pushed further.

"Yes, I'll. It's my voice" she sharply retorted back. I can't have violet behave like this. Especially not to poor Oscar. "Violet please don't do this." I interceeded, stepping into the living room.

"You would be turning down the mayor's offer please" Violet seemed surprised by my sudden intrusion and so did Oscar.

"Were you eavesdropping?" She spat at me.

"That's not the point violet. Please listen to Oscar. You need this sort of gig so that it can get the media of your break-up story" aside from that, I really want Violet back to her feet and I strongly believe singing would do that magic.

But my efforts to persuade Violet proved abortive not until an idea niggled at me and I didn't waste time in shooting

"You know what? I'll help you get your revenge if and only if you go to the show" Call it crazy but maybe I was really letting my guilt feeling intercedes for me. I'm tired of seeing my sister breaking down every nanosecond and If getting close to that Rowan will be the price I'll pay, then I want to pay it.

However, Violet was taken aback by my offer. Browse sprung up, her green eyes emitting Amazement, she muffled an "Are you serious?"

"Yes," I gave a nod. In a flash, a bright smile walked to her face and she embraced me in a tight hug.

****

"...I refuse to let you break me

You may think you broke me

But boy you woke me

Oh! To your face

I forbid to cryyyyyyy

Fuck you if you ever think

I'm gonna cry

Scratch that

Real girls don't cryyyy"

I'd always loved violet songs but this latest song of hers just gives me different vibes. It's not just the melody but the lyrics that make me see a girl who had dashed out the 'fuck you' finger to her adversaries and now has the world under her feet, of course, she does.

Her new song is making fame in the media.

I've been on my phone reading the comments from all her fans.

"You know you should give that song a break or you'll get bored of it. Pfff" violet scoffed playfully, rolling her eyes as she lands on my bed.

She'd just walked into my room and met me singing those lines from her song. I didn't hear her enter the first time as I was lost in my headphone not until she hit me.

"Well, I just can't get enough of it. Have you seen the media? You rock girl. You are all over the place. I'm so so proud of you" I gave her a bone-crushing side hug, kissing her all over her face. My smiles were all over the place.

"As if you've not always been" she rolled her eyes playfully. "I have but I'm super proud of you this time. You see you'll always listen to me now. If you haven't gone to that show, you wouldn't be in limelight and definitely would still be sucking somewhere for that brute. Now he will know, he doesn't worth your tears and that Nikki too. That bitch thought you left the number one spot for her. Well, I guess she never saw this coming haha" violet just watch me ramble on and on.

The silence was still in the air for a while as I and violet were giving me a skeptical look. I was going to ask her what it is before she spoke "You remember our deal right?" She began.

"I've kept to my end of it so I'm here for us to discuss yours" it didn't take time for the realization to hit me.

Shoot!

"Right..." I mumbled, swallowing lumps.

She adjusted her sitting posture, so she could be facing me directly. "I have an idea... How about sneaking into his Rowan through the club? You know Rowan is a sucker for clubs so there's no easy place to hook him up than a club. And I was thinking too you'll have to fake some Rich girl profile because It's absurd to think Rowan will want to have an affair with some low class. Even middle class."

right.

More reasons I despise that brute! Remember what I say about him parading himself like a God?

The world doesn't need much enlightenment about Rowan's level of prejudice against the lower class. I mean he'd never dated any girl who isn't a top model, Actress, singer, or just too famous a rich girl.

"And especially since no one knows your true identity makes it more of an advantage. You just have to dress sultry, meet him in a club, and boom!" Violet snapped her finger in the air, her smile was all over the place.

I pulled my lower lips into my mouth, chewing it as I dwelled on all violet'd spewed.

"What?" Violet's once bright face crumpled into a frown

"don't tell me you are backing out" Hmm! Well, maybe I just might.

Hell, I can't even see myself with that...that... whatever. I've made a promise to violet. I have to keep it but thinking about the club?

"That doesn't just sound like a good idea."

"What?" Violet arched her brow frowning harder in bewilderment. "I mean since Rowan's best place to fish is clubs, he met all his flings in clubs."

I could remember that's where he met violet too. She sang in some club that day and Rowan happened to be there so... "what I'm saying is this. Since Rowan meets his girls in clubs it'll only be natural for him to see me as the rest of the girls and easily dump me before I even get my paws on him." "Yeah.. thinking about that... it's true," violet muttered and swipe her tongue over her lower lips

"but..."

"I have got a suggestion," I smirked.

Violet instantly came to life, she gave me her full attention, curiosity glistening in her eyes. "How about a slow romantic drama huh? Like that pervert of a male lead who thinks he's every woman's dream until he meets this female lead who makes him play chaser and in the long run, his lustful desires toss into the abyss and replaced with that of love.

Likewise, I'll become just whatever Rowan desires in a girl. Instead of throwing myself at him, I'll let my grooming to that job of entrancing him that he'll so crave to get in my pant.

But I'll play hard to get and while he'll play chaser cause he won't stop till he gets in my pant, he'll slowly get tangled in the ropes of love then I'll play along but just when he'd become so addicted to me, I'll break his heart if he has any.

Just like he did to you my dear sister, I'll not only break up with him, I'll humiliate him to the world in the most horrible way.

Hell, I'll make sure it breaks him." Spite and venom dripped in every word I said. I was ignorant of the cuts my fingers has done on my palm until violet squealed, bringing me back to the moment

"Woooow! You are the real deal hazel. How the hell did you come up with such a magnificent plot on just short notice?" I didn't need her to tell me she approved of my idea, it was in her eyes.

"Well, I'm not a sucker for romance movies and books for nothing" I rolled my eyes.

"Like hell, we are surely exploring that" she bubbled but suddenly frowned "But how are we going to come into his life?"

Exactly what I was going to Ask.

Humph!!

ROWAN'S POV

"What the hell, Rowan!" The dick face finally let out after staring at me like I've committed the most horrible crime in the world. Moments ago he'd burst into my house without knocking which he always does. You know how best friends fucking come to your house as they own it, right? He bump into Veronica who was leaving while he was walking in.

After gawking at her till she was off sight he then shifted his gaze to me and stared at me for seconds? Minutes? Hours? I don't know, I don't give a fuck. I mean what's so strange with meeting a girl in my house or to be more specific, 'some model

"You know," Arlo began as he finally came to join me at the bar. Fetching a drink for himself.

"I never thought you would do this after what happened with Violet. You both were almost married, you know?" Right! I see what this is about pfff!

Rolling my eyes, I downed the glass of scotch in my hands. "Don't you get tired of flirting with different girls every day?" Call Arlo a hypocrite and he will deliver. If I hadn't known arlo much better I would be falling for the serious facade he had on.

"Look who's asking. There is no difference between us both. You're a player, so am I," I scoffed. I could swear he's here to drag me along with him to some club with a view of fishing. If not, what's arlo doing at my house at 7 pm?

"Matter of fact, Rowan, I make my girls understand that whatever we do is nothing serious. You, on the other hand, went as far as giving Violet the impression that you would marry her. Dude!" I chuckled.

My affair with Violet was nothing serious. I never had anything serious with any girl ever since my experience with that serpent excuse of a woman I once married. I enjoy using ladies for pleasure and trust me, it's a win-win thing.

They give me pleasure, I give them all the fame and money they are all after anyway. "Look, Arlo, Violet was just one of my many girls, and she knew that. She simply wanted to forcefully stick her head in where she doesn't belong," women are stereotyped.

They know I'm not in for some serious shit yet they make it a big deal when it's time to call it quit just so I will be the bad guy. Well, do I give a fuck? "Right!" Arlo nodded, giving me a cunning look as he sips from his scotch.

"Yeah. I gave her fame, man. Our breakup made her write her last song, and look how far it went. She definitely must have forgotten everything that happened. She's gotten the extra fame." "It's her, right?" Arlo suddenly went all serious.

"Who?"

"You very well know who I'm referring to, Rowan." With that look, I quite know what this is all about.

"You still love her, don't you? That's the reason you refused to remarry, right?" This isn't the first time arlo is bringing that up but damn she's my past now.

I mean it's been three fucking years. I hate thinking about her or even discussing her but curse arlo, he really knows how to get on my nerves.

"Could you help me do something arlo?" I stood up from the chair and this time I was standing before the glass widow backing arlo.

"What?"

"Announce me. I need a secretary, ASAP. A male, to be specific. Will you do it for me, please?" He sighed, "Yeah, sure. You did well in changing the topic though" Left for me, having a secretary is the last thing I wanted but situations called.

Earlier today, I'd lost millions of money just because of my refusal to get a secretary. I mean those were six good clients biding one of the artworks in my gallery and as always the highest bidder wins which always accumulates enough money but fuck me I screw up. Would you blame this workaholic?

I've got so engaged with other trivial matters that I completely forgot I had a meeting with them and yeah I have no secretary to keep me posted. Don't get me started with 'why Will the president of horizon art, one of the most prominent companies here in Texas not have a secretary...?

I have my reasons. And trust Mrs madrigal Hugo my beloved grandmother to be a Nag, she'll officially deliver. After nagging me to admit the reason I'd lose those clients, she didn't waste time repeating her usual sermon

"You need a secretary, Rowan! Before another deal comes, you must get a secretary. If You dare to fail me the next time, I'll step you down from the presidency" And with the fire that had emitted from her eyes, I need no one to tell me she meant every word of hers. Honestly, I hate it when people dictate for me. but at the same time, I wouldn't entirely blame her for being that way.

I mean for a woman who's dealt with several disappointments from her daughter, she always expects the best from her grandson. Plus this is a company she's worked so hard to build, I'm just running it

HAZEL'S POV

Fate they say may be cruel most of the time, but somehow it worked in our Favour. I mean a few days ago we were plotting for ways to sneak into that scum bag's life but as fate would have it, the news about Rowan looking to hire another secretary came to light on the internet. Keyword: ANOTHER.

Rowan has had countless numbers of secretaries but no one ever lasted with him.

It's either he fires them or they leave. He treats his staff like garbage, so I heard. Well, his disgusting attitude stinks around him like perfume.

"Wow even on corporate suits you still look smoking hot." Violet bubbled, as she was standing behind me while I was standing before my pink designer mirror. "That is the plan isn't it?" I giggled.

I was coated in a black suit, a short skirt stopping just at my mid-thigh. My hair was styled in curls falling just below my back and my makeover was a bit extreme.

Satisfied with my outfit, a smile flickered across my face. Today marks the start of my mission. I just got the secretary post of Rowan.

I and violet had taken advantage of the news about the post of secretary. I mean it's the nearest way to get closer to him and luckily for us. Mother and Mrs madrigal, Rowan's grandmother are quite close.

So We had to coax mother into talking to Mrs. Madrigal to help me get the post quickly. It was nearly an impossible request though. . I mean After what Rowan did to Violet, and after seeing the toxic relationships he had with his previous secretaries, she refused me ever work with him. But aside from being a talented singer, violet can be a sweet talker.

I don't know what mum told Mrs madrigal but here am I, all dressed up to start my role as a secretary for Rowan. This is it, Rowan, you think you can play with my sister's heart and get away with it? well, you better watch what's coming for you cause I'm about to beat you in the same game you are best at, and trust me the Aftermath of it will ruin you for life.

ROWAN'S POV

Dragging mouse here and there, eyes glued on my laptop screen as if my life depended on it, I was analyzing the craft works of some potential artists. I'd set my mind to hire more talented artists for the gallery and I've been working for it hook, line and sinker.

A knock on my door brought me to a halt and snapping my head up, I permitted the person to come in.

Opening the door, behold a strange yet beautiful lady stood right at the door.

She had an unsettling expression at first but before I could comprehend what it was, she had replaced it with a dazzling smile. Not just any smile, it was as if myriads of angels were radiating before me. Though it was the most difficult thing I've done in years, I still manage to withdraw my eyes from hers but it happens to visit the wrong locations because my stubborn dick sprung up at the acknowledgment of the heavenly body stationed before me, her creator most her taken his time to sculpture this divine goddess.

She was perfect in every regard, she have curves in the right places and that skimpy skirt she has on wasn't playing a helping hand for me, her boobs were poking out of the tight suit jacket she was wearing staring right at my face as if daring me to do wonders with them in my palms.

Hell, Inwardly I was losing the control panel, but being the touch Rowan that I am my gaze returned to her face. I expected to meet the sultry face of a slut but what I saw was the face of an innocent damsel. I could care less about what she was wearing because the moment my eyes met her silver eyes, there was this strange spell she possess that drew me in. That particular eye color is rare but there's this unnerving feeling insisting that I've met those eyes before.

I've flaunted with a lot of women but no one ever got me this fucking entrance so where could we have met before? As if matching my gaze, the bright look she once had, dwindled off.

No matter how she tries to hide it, I could see glints of bewilderment in her eyes. Have we really met before? There's only one way to find out so with that I cleared my throat before asking "Who are you?"

"I'm hazel" her beautiful smile was back on like the dawn of a new day. "And I'm here as your new secretary, sir"
