Oh, you thought it was a prank?

After sleeping, eating, talking to strangers and sleeping again Elizabeth finally reaches Chicago. She stands in front of the train station with her luggage and finally she gets a taxi to her uncle's place. She quickly takes out her phone and scrolls through her contacts, should she call her mum first or call her uncle, Teddy. Who she's supposed to stay with before she finds an accommodation at the school campus.

She decided she'd call her uncle and when she called him he tells her to find her way to Houston Avenue, Rehag Street and house number 47.

From the train station, all she saw was beautiful things, beautiful billboards, amazing skyscrapers, incredible buildings and wonderful people walking the streets. All she could do was smile as the taxi rode past them.

Her taxi gets her to her destination and she alights from the cab. She comes down and reaches for her luggage which she does not want the taxi driver to touch because she does not trust him.

"I got it" she said as she holds her suitcase before the Taxi driver could.

She pulls the heavy luggage and takes it down, it's heavy and she knows it. She grunts as she drags the one suitcase. She rests it one knee and pulls it to the door post with her back facing the door post. The taxi driver watches her with keen interest.

He offloads the other suitcases and slams his trunk. Elizabeth already paid him but he stood to watch her struggle.

"Elizabeth" Uncle Teddy abruptly exclaimed making Elizabeth shriek and fling her suitcase like it's a bug.

The taxi driver bursts into laughter and Elizabeth watches with a feeling of agitation. He gets in his taxi and zooms off but his cackles could still be heard and it annoys Elizabeth.

"I see you have your hands quite full" Uncle Teddy says as he helps Elizabeth with her things.

"Damn, you've grown" Uncle Teddy said and Elizabeth chuckles.

"There's never enough growth for a woman" she answers.

They put the suitcase in the guest room which is meant for her. Her uncle's house seems beautiful and comfortable for him and his family. The guest room here looks more beautiful than her actual room back in Los Angeles. After settling in she has her lunch which was prepared by Mrs. Uncle Teddy, which is what Elizabeth calls Uncle Teddy's wife. His wife is at work and his two sons at school so they both use the opportunity to catch up on each other.

Her uncle is an engineer himself a mechanical one and she's always looked up to him.

Later on, Uncle Teddy's sons return home, Cody the first who is ten years old and Daniel the second who is 7 years old.

Mrs. Teddy gets back home and Elizabeth welcomes her, they all have dinner and Elizabeth goes to her room to finally rest and sleep.

She lies on her bed thinking of college, all the things that await her and what she awaits. She smiles and gently picks up her phone. She hasn't called her mum yet.

She sees that her mum left her 16 missed calls and is not surprised. Before she could call back her mum calls her. She picks it up…

"You insane child!" her mum exclaimed. Elizabeth remained silent for a while and listened to her mum rant about how worried she has been since Elizabeth didn't call.

"This was exactly why I was running after the train and telling you to call. I hoped it would touch your heart but you still remain the way you are" Mrs. Benson added.

"Mum calm down, I've just been busy and I'm tired" Elizabeth yawned.

"Shut your big mouth and by busy do you mean having unnecessary conversations with your uncle?" Mrs. Benson asked.

"No, I mean having unnecessary conversations with my uncle" Elizabeth repeated and her mum scoffed.

"You silly child, how was the journey?" Mrs. Benson asked.

They both talked on the phone for a while. While the phone call was still ongoing, Jaden's call comes in. He probably called to check on her but she's too tired to talk so she let it ring till it went away.

Same Chicago, but a different area far away from Uncle Teddy's place. A place, classy and filled with lots of chic people who either came to get drunk or get laid, Sasha's Club.

Five guys walk into Sasha's club, four of them appear neat, clean, eloquent and attractive. The fifth one was attractive, no doubt but it looks like his wardrobe survived an earth quake.

Who puts on a velvet blue shirt with red pants? Nicholas does!

He walks into the club with his four friends.

Nicholas Wilson, a tall pride-filled young man. Dark-haired, hazel eyes and moderate body structure. His presence automatically commands attention. He's a bad boy, but he's not a bad boy for no good reason.

When he speaks his deep bass commands silence, he rarely laughs, perhaps he's never laughed for the past 3 years.

A while ago he and his friends were conversing and and his friends were laughing but as soon as they set foot in the club, the wonderment of the club shut them up.

Derek, Michael, Jacob and Xavier all have their eyes 'lust' in the bodies of the girls walking around the club. They all split up muttering inaudible words with their eyes fixed on different girls. They leave Nicholas standing in front of the door still scrolling through his phone.

He hears the sound of giggles and he looks up to see three girls walking right passed him as they mocked his outfit choice.

He may be dressed like a clown but he could buy the whole club, burn it down and he would feel nothing. He locks his phone and thrusts it in his right pocket. He exhales and his eyes scan the environment around him. He did not come here to get drunk, he didn't even want to come here. Derek insisted and he decided to go with the idea. There's no use thinking about that, now that he's here he might as well get a girl, hit things off with her and take her downtown. He walks away from the door and to the bartender.

"Wine" his husky voice said.

He clears his throat as he goes through the instagram profile of a girl he met two days ago at his father's company. The bartender slides the wine over to him in a beautifully designed cup and he reaches out for it as he sips it with his eyes still fixed on his phone screen.

Someone sits next to him but he doesn't raise his head to see who it is

"I'll have two of what he's having" a feminine voices says.

"Hello" the same feminine voice calls after a while.

He looks up and his eyes behold a lady, probably a dancer here. He scans her immediately.

Scattered hair, beautiful arms and her legs a bit masculine. Her outfit obviously shows she's a dancer perhaps a stripper. He didn't think any girl would talk to him, considering his outfit choice.

"Hi" he responds with his eyes directly at her.

"I'm Katie" She said.

"Nice to meet you Katie" he answered.

Nicholas liked the vibe she gave. The bartender slides Katie's drinks to her and she offers one to Nicholas who declines.

"I would have paid for your drink but I didn't think I'd have company tonight" Nicholas said, he definitely has a trick up his sleeve.

"Why so? This is a club, that's basically why people come here" Katie replies.

"Not for someone like me, I don't have enough for my clothing so I wouldn't dare spending a lot on just drinks, clubbing and girls. That'll be stupid" Nicholas said.

"Your outfit choice definitely looks pathetic but your phone does not" Katie said with a smirk on her face and her eyes on Nicholas's Beige colored iPhone 15. He smirks and lowers his head.

"And I know what someone from the trenches looks like" Katie said.

Nicholas stares at her silently with a smirk on his face.

"Then I guess I should work more on my disguise then" Nicholas suggested in a calm tone.

"You can take that disguise off at my place" Katie said with an even bigger smirk.

Nicholas exhaled and looked at her for a while.

His phone rings and he looks to see his dad's name as the caller. His father has been calling him all evening but he refuses to pick up. He looks at the time and its 11:49, he has class tomorrow and he's not sure if he should follow Katie to her place or not. He takes a little time to think.

"Let's freaking do it!" He immediately said as he placed the wine glass on his lip and gulped down the whole thing.

He follows Katie to her place and what an amazing night he had. He loves it when he gets intimate with strangers or people he just met.

He wakes up on Katie's bed as early as 4:42. He opens his eyes and sees that the place is still dark. He slowly and quietly comes down from the bed with just boxers on. He puts his cloths on and Katie is still asleep.

He leaves without saying a word after all it's not his fault she's such a deep sleeper.

He comes out of her house and realizes that his car is not here. As part of his disguise plan he left his car behind.

"Damn it!" he exclaims as he kicks a pot of plant in front of Katie's house and breaks it. The day has barely begun but it's already annoying him.

He dips his hands in his pocket and starts walking. After walking a distance without sighting a single taxi, he knows he'll have to walk to the main road before he finds one.

"What an animalistic area" he mutters angrily to himself.

Nicholas walked to the main road but still couldn't find a single taxi. He would call his friends to pick him up but he knows they won't pick up. They are somewhere in a room lying on a bed with a girl, sleeping peacefully. When they lured him into doing this in the first place. And besides that it's probably early for those sleepyheads to wake up.

Nicholas ended up walking to the bus stop and taking the bus like an 'animal'.

He gets off the bus at his stop and boards a taxi back to his father's house, their house.

The taxi drops him in front of the huge black beautifully designed gate. Nicholas walks to the gate and knocks it. He feels so weird because usually he would always honk to alert the security to open up the gate but now he's here standing like a homeless person knocking.

There's no response and no one has come to open the gate. His temper arises and he immediately starts punching the gate and kicking it incessantly, it's clear he won't stop until the gate is opened.

He hears the sound of someone gasp and he knows one of the security men must have seen him.

The gate is finally opened for him to enter but instead he angrily storms in, he grabs the security that opened it and threw him a loud, hard slap across the face. He held him by the collar, almost choking him and he barked

"I've been hitting that Goddamn gate for forever, what took you so long to open it up?" Nicholas's deep voice barked.

There are two security men by the gate so he doesn't get why it took them so long.

"Sir, we're not used to the house owners knocking on the gate, so we thought it was a prank…" One of the other security men said.

"Oh, you thought it was a prank?" Nicholas interrupted as he let go of the security he was holding and moved closer to the other security man.

"How's this for a prank?" he asked as he flung his right hand across the man's face, the sound of the slap startled the other security man.

"We're sorry sir" The other security man who was initially slapped said.

"Sorry for yourself" Nicholas retorted.

"One more mistake like this and you'll both be fired. Then you can go back to your low-lives and suffer with your sorry excuse for a family" Nicholas said with widened eyes and immediately he stormed off to his room.

Robert, the security man who was initially slapped began to sob.

"You better keep those tears under control and act like a man, this isn't the first time" Hank the other security man said as he sat down.

"I know Hank, I'm just tired. I wish I could get another job somewhere else" Robert sobbed.

Nicholas walks angrily to his room and he bumps into his elder brother, Ethan.
