Using your words against you.

Being surprised is more like an understatement.

I was stunned to figure out that the one person who I least expected is currently right in front of me.

Truth be told, if I have to say that this individual is handsome then that makes me the biggest liar of all time.

The individual is nowhere close to being handsome, and his dirty smile which is currently plastered on his face disgust the hell of me.

The person is none other than Brian. Gush! who the hell did I offend.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled with a straight face.

My parents who are currently beside me didn't see this coming.

They arch their brows in complete surprise while staring at me with a confused expression. "Do you two perhaps know each other?" My Mom asked out of curiosity.

"Know each other?" I scuffed. "Mom! Brian is my boyfriend." I declare.

I felt like slapping myself so hard on my cheek because of my recent statement.

"Ohh! Woah! We would leave you two to discuss in private." My Mom replied as she grabbed the hands of my fathers while making her way out of the hallway.

"Mom! Brian isn't....."

"Have fun dear." My mom declares, without being aware that Brian is a jerk.

My mother had cut me off from completing my statement because she taught me that something is going on between Brian and me.

To be sincere, nothing is going on between Brian and me.

We had both met each other last night and his first impression was disgusting.

Since my parents have already left Brian and me to get along, I don't have any other option but to settle some old scores with Brian.

I smile widely, before closing the distance between the both of us. "How did you get to know my parents?" I ask.

"Your name is Ashley Connor, which shares the same surname with the popular Connor family," Brian explains while smirking.

Something that I failed to tell Henry all through the video calls that we both had, was my background.

I also didn't tell him about the town.

Well! This Internet is a whole lot of mess.

People can easily find out about any popular individual on the internet, and most especially goggles.

"What do you want from me this time around?" I interrogate, while slightly arching my brows.

"I want you to reciprocate my feelings towards you," Brian said, and his statement was damn disgusting to my ears.

"But there are a lot of other young ladies out there. Seriously! why do you just choose to torment my precious life?" I ask, while slightly arching my brows in frustration.

"You are a virgin." Brian declared.

"And so what?" I questioned.

Staring at Brian, I'm becoming more disgusted as each minute passes by.

"I haven't tasted the blood of a virgin Ashley. And I mean I have never had sex with..."

Just before Brian was able to complete his statement, I became so pissed off and landed a heavy slap on his cheek.

I hate the fact that he needs me just for sex.

If he had said that he likes me and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, then I would have considered giving him a chance in my heart, but Brian is just a big-time jerk.

A disgusting one to be precise.

"Brian!" I yelled while making him gaze at me. "I have to go and rest." I declare, before turning around to make my way towards my room.

"But I have a lot of things to tell you," Brian yelled from behind me.

I pretend not to hear his outburst, as I continue making my way to my room.

Brian was stopped by my bodyguard from entering the passage that leads to my room.

This is the very moment I'm grateful for having bodyguards.

Making my way further inside the room, I immediately took off my clothes, and made my way towards my bathroom where I quickly had a nice hot bath.

The water was refreshing, and it calmed my tense nerves.

When I was done taking my bath, I decided to have a nice rest.

Lying down on my bed, I immediately fall asleep.

I can't tell how many hours I had been sleeping, but the sound of the doorbell immediately woke me up. "Who's there?" I shrugged while forcing myself to get up.

"Miss Ashley Conner! Sir Brian Clifford is still waiting for you." I heard the voice of a maid from the other side of the door.

I became confused because there was no way that the Brian that I know is currently waiting for me.

I forced myself to walk towards the door, and then I saw one of the oldest maids in my parent's mansion.

"Do you mean the Brian, who's known as my suitor?" I ask, while arching my brows.

"Yes, miss. And he has been waiting for you since morning." She explains.

I wipe away the sleep on my eyes, before yawning. "Arrr! Tell him that I'll be out in a bit."

The maid did as she was told.

I took my bath and wore ack tights and a black shirt that exposed my belly button.

I park my hair into a messy ponytail, before heading to the sitting room.

Brian is currently seated on one of the couches, and there was a laptop on his lap, which he's currently using.

"Finally! You are awake." He exclaims while setting his laptop away, placing it beside him.

"Yeah!" I mumble. "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask because his face is pissing me off.

"I have been waiting to see your beautiful face." He declares before kneeling down on the floor.

His act seems weird, so I became suspicious.

I shifted my gaze and found out that my parents were making their way towards the sitting room.

I shake my head sideways because Brian had the gut to suddenly kneel, which is another means to impress my parents. "Ashley! You are like my rose." He whispers. "Roses are red, violets are blue... I always thought lavender was beautiful until I met you." He declares.

Gush! That's too clingy.

My parents are already staring at the two of us in complete adoration.

Since Brian thinks that he's smart in playing games... Then I'm going to teach him that I'm the queen when it comes to games. "Hey! Roses are red, and violets are blue. I usually think that mad people are stupid and ugly until I met you." I declare while rephrasing his statement and using his words against him.
