Chapter 1
The voice of a female weather reporter can be heard all over the house, enthusiastically reporting what the weather would be for today. A man with jet black hair with green eyes went down the stairs fixing his tie as he went. Satisfied with the outcome of his tie, he stopped right in front of the TV, listening for a moment before reaching for the remote lying at the coffee table.
"As of today, we are expecting a nice sunny day. so, today is a great day to spend your time with your families and loved ones outside…right Mr. Jackson?" the reporter asked, looking directly at the camera as though she was speaking to the said man personally.
Percy Jackson, who was in the verge of turning the TV off, was thrown off guard when he heard the female reporter say his name. He stared at the reporter, then looked down at the remote, then looked around his house, then back to the reporter.
"How the heck…? There are no cameras here…are there?" he said to himself, before completely turning off the TV. He reached for his car keys and went outside to his car.
A man and a woman, shamelessly making out beside a car, was the scene that Percy Jackson saw when he was driving out of his property. He stopped momentarily, watching his cousin eating the face of the girl. His cousin saw him, waved hello and continued kissing the girl. Not having a care, Percy drove past them, fast, causing the skirt of the girl to blow up. The girl shrieked in surprise, immediately holding down her skirt.
"Who the hell is that?!" the girl, Drew Tanaka, a famous actress, demanded.
"That jerk of a man is my cousin," the man, Jason Grace, a famous singer, explained. "When I say a jerk, I mean he really is a jerk. When I buy a new car, he will buy 3 cars. When I buy yacht, he will buy the whole resort, and so on and so forth. He has this thing that he always got to have the largest things on earth. See this territory? This whole place belongs to him."
"Whoa, so is he that rich? But, Jason, you're rich to, right?" asked Drew.
"Of course I am! Oh yeah, I hope you loved that kissed that we just had. That would be our last kiss," said Jason, smirking at his partner.
"What do you mean by "last"?" Drew demanded.
"Simply put, it's a goodbye kiss!" grinned Jason.
"WHAAT?!
"Don't forget about you blind date with Piper McLean today. She is the daughter of a famous actor who starred in many movies, more so than my fingers can count. Get acquainted with her, she's a beautiful girl."
His father's voice sounded in his head, as he walked down the hallway of the art museum where he was supposed to meet this woman, Piper McLean. He hated these marriage meetings. If he were to have a wife, he would like it with someone who meets his standards. Standing at their desired meeting meeting place was a petite woman, with choppy brown hair braided to the side, wearing a white dress that reached until her knees. Her accessories included a diamond necklace, and a feather pinned to her braid.
As Percy approached her, he scanned her from head to toe, clearly not satisfied with this woman because of how hard she tried to look best. Once beside her, he greeted her with his usual tone.
"Good morning. You must be Piper McLean," he said, his hand outstretched. Piper accepted his hand and shook it.
"Yes, that's me. And you must be Percy Jackson. It's so nice to finally meet you. I have so much about you and your status and your work," Piper said, smiling. With a straight face, Percy gestured to her that they should tour around the museum.
"So…you must like Edouard Manet's work then?" Piper asked while looking around the beautiful paintings that surrounded the room. "Then perhaps, you would like to buy one of his paintings here-"
"A woman who wears too much just for this meeting, a typical move for someone who wants to get the attention of the man she is meeting with. Batting her eyelashes to the man she wants to get her hands on, the move of a modern woman nowadays. And lastly, your perfume," Percy interrupted, stopping briefly to take a whiff of her expensive perfume, "your perfume is too much for my liking, and you can probably smell it from across the room. I dislike girls like that."
Percy stopped to look at his watch, thinking why the hell is he wasting his time here with this woman.
"How about we just end this meeting here and I say that you dumped me, ok?" Percy said, giving out his signature smirk at her, walking off. At the last minute, he turned around and said, "Oh and Manet's exhibit is next week , not today" before continuing his walk outside.
Piper was left gaping at the man before her, not believing what just occurred. Then she hurriedly took a whiff at her perfume and muttered to herself, "Am I really that obvious?"
"So how was your marriage meeting with the girl? Did she pass your expectations?" Hazel Levesque, his personal psychiatrist said, casually talking with him after doing their regular routine.
"No. She's just like everybody else, after-the-money type of girl," Percy said, relaxing back at his couch. After that date, he immediately went home where received a message that said that his psychiatrist is going to take his monthly check-up.
"Well, you do know that your father wants you to marry immediately and give him an heir. When do you plan to do that?"
"And I will do that, when I find a woman that meets my expectations," Percy said,not really caring about the marriage thing. Hazel rolled her eyes, knowing full well how hard it is to meet her patient's standards.
"Now, regarding your condition, how is it going? What do you feel nowadays?" Hazel inquired, getting back to her business.
Percy sighed, "As usual, the feeling is still there. Just by looking at it even makes me afraid though"
"Well, you have to continue drinking you medications then until-" Hazel's words were interrupted as his cellphone rang, signaling that someone was calling him. Percy looked at the caller id and, after releasing a sigh, he answered the phone.
"What do you want now?" he answered, his voice having the tone of an irritated one. His cousin just had to interrupt an important meeting.
"Do you remember that woman earlier, Drew Tanaka?" his voice sounded like he was panicking, so Percy took him seriously. He signaled to his doctor that their meeting was over, and she understood, make a gestured to call her if anything happens. Percy just nodded.
"Yeah, what about her?"
"Right now, she has access to photos that she threatened with me earlier about a scandal about the two of us. If you-"
"I'm not getting it for you, asshole," interrupted Percy.
"NO NO YOU HAVE TO! Hear me out first! If you get that I will sign that contract with you regarding about using my name to increase you sales" Jason bargained, knowing that this will surely get his cousin's attention. Just as he thought Percy's interest was reaching its highest peak.
"Really? Well if that's the case I will go then. Where is she now?" Percy asked, suddenly in the mood because of the deal.
Jason sighed in relief. "She's currently taping near the Central Park for her next film. Keep her with you to the hotel where we met until I get the reporters out! I owe you one,cuz," Jason said, thanking his cousin.
"yeah , yeah whatever, I'm going now, bye," Percy said, rolling his eyes. He grabbed his keys and went to Central Park to pick up this woman.
