Chapter 1

Crystal's pov

Hey this is me Crystal Collins. I am 19 and studying in Holy Cross College in NewYork. Also I'm part time assistant of a famous designer to pay my bills. Wondering why?

Because my so called father and his new wife kicked me out of their house when I was just nine.

Talking about my real mother, she died in a car accident when I was six. My mom was a really sweet person. She used to love me a lot. Not only loving but she was hella strong woman. I miss her a lot.

About my dad, he is anything but an ideal person. He married his bitchy girlfriend just after one month of my mom's death. He never loved my mom. Neither he respected her.

His wife Kate was an A grade bitch. She used to hate me a lot and always used to fill my dad's ears about me. Complaining about me that I disrespected her, called her names, kicked her, etc.

When I turned nine they kicked me out of their house. Of course because Kate wanted me out. After that I stayed with my grandma. She was my mom's mom. She raised me and made me the person I'm today. But unfortunately she died two years ago from cardiac arrest.

So, now I'm all alone in this big world. Sad, right?

Now enough of my introduction. I'm getting late for my work. My boss Mrs Andera Heard has called me thrice in one hour. She wanted me to reach in a fancy marriage hall ASAP to help her with the wedding gowns.

Although today was my day off but thanks to the bride who rejected the wedding gown designed by my boss on her wedding day, I have to work. I have currently three designers wedding gowns in my hand which I have to deliver to my boss as she didn't have that much time.

Perks of being busy!

Reaching my destination I came out from the cab with bags and paid the driver.

I craned my neck to adore the huge building in front of me. This is where the marriage is happening. What a lucky bitch that bride is.

Ps: I'm not jealous. I'm NOT.

After few seconds of my gawking I decided to go inside this huge building.

The entrance was so beautiful that I wondered that how this building will look like from inside. Excitingly I made my debut in this posh building and Oh My God! This is heaven.

So fuCking beautiful and expensive as well. Every freaking thing inside the building screams luxury. And the people inside the building were no less. Women's were walking barbie dolls and mens were no less than a model. All these things seems like a dream. I was busy adoring the stuffs when my phone rings again. Taking out my phone from the pocket I rolled my eyes at the caller. My boss.

Huffing I received it.

"Hel..."

"Where are you? Come fast. Wedding is going to start in one hour. We don't have much time" She yelled in panic.

"I'm already inside the building. Where do I have to come?" I asked her calmly.

Can't loose my job.

"Why didn't you say this before?" She again yelled.

Cause you didn't even let me say hello to you.

"I'm sorry Miss Heard" I apologized rolling my eyes.

"Whatever. Now go to the room number 678 and give all the bags to the bride. Her name is Maddison Kingsley. See which one is she liking" She replied annoyingly.

"But you are the designer. You should handover her these gowns. Why me?" I asked scrunching my brows.

"I know. But this Maddison fuCking Kingsley is nothing but a bitch. FuCking self obsessed bitch. All she do is complain about everything. I don't want to see her ugly fuCking face. So you have to do this. Now stop complaining and do the work" With this she cuts the call.

Great!

My boss herself is a bitch. But now she is complaining about the other one. Funny.

But the problem is, if this bride is actually a bitch that whom even my bitchy boss is scared to face her, how will I face her. Oh God! Help your sweet little girl.

Chanting my little prayers I went to the receptionist and asked her about the elevator. Following her instructions I finally reached my floor.

I searched for her room and find it. Sighing heavily I knocked her door. But got no response. Again I knocked the door. Hard. Within few second a tall and beautiful lady opened the door. She has a model like body with shoulder length blonde hairs.

"What?" She asked furiously.

My boss was right. She's more bitchy than my boss.

"Hello Miss. I'm Crystal Collins, assistant of Mrs. Andera heard. I'm here for your wedding gown" I chirped with a smile hoping she will return the smile, but who am I kidding?

Instead of giving me a smile she looked at me more furiously, like I have stole her money or something.

"Where's she?" She asked me in her shrill voice.

"Um.. She's busy" I told her, softly. Narrowed her eyes at me, she let me in.

"There is three wedding gowns for you, miss" I said placing the bags in her bed.

Instead of saying 'Thank you' or something she just looked at me with murderous eyes.

What have I done to her?

Her glaring session interrupted with her phone ringing. Annoyingly she looked at the caller I'd. But looking at the caller I'd, she became more angry and greeted her teeths in anger.

"What?" The first thing she said after picking the phone is 'what'. Can't she say 'Hello'.

"Are you fuCking mad? I can't come. Today is my marriage day" She snapped angrily at someone.

"You can't do this. Keep your fuCking mouth shut or else I'll kill you with my own fuCking hands" She greeted her teeths angrily.

"Listen, I'll be there at night, but not now" This time she was little calm.

"Are you crazy. There is only one hour for the wedding, I can't come".

"Oh god, you're so annoying".

"But what about my parents? What if they come to know about my departure?" She hissed angrily.

Oh God! Is she planning to run away from her marriage.

"You are nothing but a fuCking piece of shit. I'm coming" She yelled and ended the call.

I quickly averted my gaze from her to the gown not wanting to caught eavesdropping by her.

For a few seconds there was complete silence in the room but I could feel her intense gaze on my back.

"Listen" I turned towards her. She looked at me from top to bottom and then looked directly in my eyes.

"Wear a gown from any of them *pointing at the gowns* and pretends to me until the wedding rituals start" She ordered me. Not request but order.

"Excuse me?" I chirped waiting for her to say that this is a joke but instead of doing that she folded her hands across her chest.

"Listen, do whatever I'm telling you to do. I'll pay you more than enough money you have even seen in your entire life" She said little furiously this time.

"I'm sorry but I can't do this" I chirped to which she glared at me.

"If you will not follow my command, I'll make you pay. I'll make your life living hell. You must be in your teen years, no? Think if you get arrested without doing anything, how it will affect your whole life. You'll never get a job in any reputed company. FuCk reputed company you'll not even got a small job. You'll be jobless and homeless your entire life" She smirked at me.

"You can't do this" I said with wide eyes.

"Try me" She gave me challenging look and I know she's not wrong though. She's daughter of one of the reputed businessman Richard Kingsley. They all are powerful. She can surely do these things to me.

Although I don't get scared easily but I really don't want to ruin my carrier no matter what.

I looked at her again. She was already looking at me. Sorry glaring me.

"Listen you have to just pretend that you are me. I'll just go and come before the wedding. Okay!" With this she handed me a random bag.

Taking her purse and phone she starts leaving the room but stopped in her way.

"Just pretend that you are me for sometime. I'll be here soon. And yeah, don't tell anyone about this" She warned me one last time and went away.

Sighing I looked at the bag in my hand and groaned in frustration.

Where am I stuck?
