Lana Castroff

I woke up with a whole set of headache and I got into the shower right away. I need to go to work and I'm really not in a mood to talk to anyone today. I felt so shitty last night after being so drunk and really have no idea what I did after that.

I changed into my work attire and walked out from my room. I saw Phoenix calling someone and he's been pacing back and forth in the living room as he raised his voice to someone on that phone.

I grabbed a glass of warm water and drank it slowly as I saw him cussing over and over again.  I walked towards him and bid my goodbyes. He waved at me and gestured me to go. I walked out from his penthouse and got into the lift when I realize I forgot my USB on my desk.

I went up again and walked into the penthouse when I heard Phoenix saying, "I told you that in the end of the day, Lana is just a set up for my parents. She has nothing to offer besides her beauty and the fact that she's rich so you know that's a big deal since my parents wanted the perfect woman." I don't think he realized that I'm back in the penthouse.

"She's only my wife when it comes to family related shit. I want my family to stop arranging me with someone and this is a really good way to stop them from doing it. We have a contract on that and it will end in 5 to 6 months." He said in a mocking tone. It seemed like he's having fun with this deal. He's not wrong about what he said but somehow I felt betrayed.

"I don't think she will be that type of clingy woman. You know women are all the same, they want more and get clingy but Lana doesn't for now. She can be that woman I think, she even got jealous when she saw girls hanging out with me." I can't believe he just said that to his friend.

"I told you I don't like her and how many times do I have to repeat that statement?" Well, I guess it's crystal clear now. He's really doing it to benefit himself. I shouldn't be mad about it because he did tell me about this and I don't know why that I'm a little bit sad hearing it from him.

"She has a lot of men fancy her but I'm not worried. She never dates them seriously and she will always comeback to me." He said confidently and I shook my head disapproving it. I'll show you that I will never go back to you again.

"I already have the divorce paper ready. If I'm tired of her or she's starting to get clingy and fucking annoying, I'll just divorce her. That's on marriage contract, you can get married and divorce at anytime." He said proudly like he just won a trophy.

Instead of staying and listening to it more, I decided to leave without my USB. Everything that he said was completely true and I'm really aware of that fact but I felt betrayed and hurt for some reason. I don't like all the statements that he gave even though that's what we agreed on.

I went to my office and turned off the phone. My mood dropped and it affected my work. Some of my anger, I took it out on my employees and I felt bad after. They didn't do anything wrong but they got the splash of anger.

After working from day until night, I brought a bottle of champagne from our mini fridge to the rooftop of this building. I opened the bottle and drank it straight from the bottle. I let out a long sigh and I felt so stupid.

I shouldn't feel like this, I guess my feelings have taken the toll out of me.

I sat on one of the sofa and started to play sad songs. I drank the champagne again and again without stopping. My body felt so tired and I laughed at myself for being stupid.

"Why are you still doing here?" I turned to see my father walking towards me and I looked at my almost empty bottle of champagne wanting to throw it to his face.

"Why? Have a fight with your fake husband?" He asked in a mocking tone and I chuckled.

"I rather have a fake husband than sleeping with someone who is my age who happened to have a boyfriend." I snapped and my father's face was priceless. He never saw that coming.

"You really don't care about me, do you? You go back and forth with the woman who left me and never even ask about my well being for the past 20 years and now you're having an affair with a gold-digger woman who dated the man that I used to love. Are you really my father or you just don't really care anymore?" I asked angrily at him as I got up from the sofa.

"You threw the whole company to my back when you know I don't like all of this shit. You're lucky because I'm starting to love my job and then you start going around doing shits when your daughter is having a hard time managing the company by herself. Have you ever think about that?" I bursted out and I even threw my champagne bottle to the ground watching it shattered on the ground.

"I'm taking a week off, you take care of the company." I said pointing my fingers at him. I went down from the rooftop back to my office. I grabbed my bag, grabbed a taxi and went to the nearest hotel to rest. I'm tired of everyone's shit and I really don't want to communicate with anyone right now.

Not Phoenix, not my father and just no one.
