Ace walked out of Chelsey's apartment and rested his back on the wall. He covered his face with his palms and screamed in pain.

Why can't he be happy?

Why does he have to be the one hurt in all his relationships?

The door of Chelsey's apartment was thrown open and she rushed towards him.

"Please don't do this, Ace. Don't do this to me." She begged. Ace straightened his back and stared Chelsey.

There is nothing she hates more than cheaters.

Why would she cheat on him?

He has been very attentive to her. He had been preparing earnestly for their wedding.

He has always listen to her needs. He stayed away from Catherine for Chelsey's sake!

What else does she wants?

"Are you apologizing because I caught you in the act or you're apologizing because you're really sorry?" Ace questioned.

Chelsey swallowed the lump in her throat, her eyes looking everywhere but Ace.

Ace shook his head and stepped close to her. He raised her jaw with his finger and searched her eyes.

He was trying to see through her, to know if it was only a one time thing, a mistake.

But he could find none of that.

Chelsey wasn't guilty because of what she has done. She was mad because Ace caught her and because he has the evidence to use against her.

Ace shook his bead then turned around and leave. Upon getting to his car he forwarded the video to his mother and wrote 'The girl you want to make your daughter in-law' under it.

A few minutes later , his phone started ringing. It was Veronica Hampton calling.

Ace connected his phone to his earpond and listen to what his mother have to say.

"What the hell is this video, Ace? Who was the boy fucking Chelsey?" His mother questioned.

"I don't know, Mom. You can start canceling the wedding invitations now, I'm not getting married to a whore." Ace said and Mrs Hampton groaned.

"You don't have to worry, I won't have her as my daughter in-law either." She said and hung up the phone.

Ace removed the earpond from his ear and punched his car's wheel.

"Way to go, Ace Hampton." He muttered.

****

Photos of Ace and Leilani were already on the cover page of all the major media outlets the next day. The picture of Leilani touching his dick and that of the both of them inside the forest.

Ace threw the newspaper to the side and groaned.

His life was taking a huge turn.

People don't even know what was going on and they were already bashing him on social medias.

Ace walked inside the class and all eyes were on him, including Catherine.

He rolled his eyes and sat down before bringing out his notepad and pen.

"I am sorry." Catherine whispered but he acted like he didn't hear her. He didn't want to hear her.

Thank goodness that it was their last exam before the semester ends. He can finally go back to the states and stop seeing her for a while.

Catherine carried the cappuccino and meat pie she ordered towards her table and sit down. She brought out her phone from her bag and clicked on the Instagram app on her phone. She scroll through her front page and clicked on the notification center.

She had up to a thousand people tagging her. She clicked in one of the tags and it led her to a very nasty comment on a blog. She read through the comments and her eyes turned blurry.

People were attacking her and they were even attacking Ace more.

They claimed that she was only using Ace to regain her family's lost glory.

'Catherine is such a whore. Alex might be right. She took after her whorish mother and now she's about to ruin a perfect relationship' a comment said.

Catherine gasped and covered her mouth with her palm.

She couldn't believe what she just read.

She should have stayed away just like Ace wanted. She should have let him be. Her persistence caused this.

She had herself to blame.

Ace must detest her even more now.

Veronica Hampton stared at the newspaper in front if her and she chuckled.

"So bold of this girl, she doesn't stop does she?" She asked and sheen her head.

She turned her laptop towards her publicist and crossed her legs against each other.

"You know what to write with this." Mrs Hampton said and her publicist nodded.

Mrs Hampton grabbed her phone and dialed Chelsey's father's number.

"Hello."

"Jared, would you tell me that your daughter haven't tell you anything?" Mrs Hampton inquired, her eyes on the laptop in front of her.

"They are still kids, Mrs Hampton. They still have a lot to learn." Jared Black said and Veronica chuckled.

"A kid who can't keep herself for her fiance only is not yet matured to be a wife, I am calling to announce that the marriage is getting called off and our relationship as business partners is over." She stated clearly.

"Come on,you can't do that. You can't end our partnership because of our children's mistakes. It wasn't only Chelsey. Ace's pictures are all over the Internet." Jared Black insisted. He couldn't back out without a fight.

"I will caution my own son, do so for your daughter as well. Goodbye." She hung up the call and clicked on the delete button.

"Mrs Hampton, I'll post a statement on Mr Hampton's social media handle tonight. You don't have to worry."

"Make sure that I don't." She uttered before the man left her office.

Mrs Hampton was standing at the window of her office and looking around the beautiful city of Manhattan.

She sipped on the glass of champagne in her hand and closed her eyes.

"If you were here, things would have been different." She whispered to herself.

"What should I do, Gray? I am getting lonely."

She shook her head and walked back to her desk. Standing alone inside her office must have triggered her loneliness.

Catherine and Talia were sitting inside the living room watching TV but Catherine's mind wasn't there.

She was thinking of something else.

Her mind was very far away from the movie they were watching.

"I can't believe that Jack died, I think Rose could have done something to save him." Talia said and sighed. She glanced at Catherine when she didn't hear her voice and she sighed loudly when she saw the look on Catherine's face.

She was thinking again. Thinking about what she couldn't stop.

Catherine was still thinking when she got a notification on her phone. It was a notification of a Ace's post.

How could he post when he was being talked about in a bad way by the public? Why would he even think it us a good move to do so?

Leilani clicked on the notification and she read through the post that was made.

There were already thousands of comments and likes in less than ten minutes.

"Oh my God." Catherine whispered.

"What is it?" Talia inquired, she shifted closer to Catherine and stared into Catherine's phone.

"What the fuck, Ace and Chelsey broke up? Wait. She cheated on him. Wow." Talia said in disbelief.

Talia placed her hand on Catherine's shoulder and Catherine turned to look at her. They stared into each other's eyes and Catherine glanced at the phone.

"This is your chance to prove to Ace that you're ready to take care of your relationship, Catherine. If Aunt Veronica ends up setting him up with someone else then I'm sorry but you will have to forget about him, forever." Talia whispered.

Catherine stared at the words on her phone screen and she stood up abruptly from the couch.

"What do i do, Talia?"
