Chapter 1: Prologue
He sat up abruptly in his bed, sweat tricking down his face. The clock beside him showed half past four, it was silent outside the bedroom.
It was that haunting dream about her again. The nameless girl next to him stirred in her sleep and wrapped an arm around him, only to be pushed away by him. It seems that everytime he sleeps with another woman she would appear in his dreams, as if giving him a warning for sharing the same bed with another girl.
Getting up quickly to get dressed; raking his teal hair, he gave the girl in his bed one more nonchalant look before he hurriedly left the hotel. He must have had too much to drink in the club; this is the third time he ended up with a girl in a nearby accommodation-not including that time where he ended up doing the deed in his own car.
He never wanted to be like this, all his past serious relationships with girlfriends had failed miserably. And it was all because he called out her name after release each time during intimacy. And automatically his girlfriend will assume that he cheated on her and will break up with him.
He may be rich, but there's something that money cannot buy… and that something is what everyone else call love.
He can offer anything a girl ask for, a car, a house or his body- but they cannot get that one thing many if them requested from him… his heart is already taken by another girl that none of them would compare to.
She was the only girl he truly cherished; although he could only vaguely remember what she looked like and what she would probably look like now. He may be only eight and she may be at the tender age of seven; they knew what love is and that they loved eachother.
When he told her that he liked her and discovered that his own best friend loved him back, he lived the happiest days of his 21 years of existence. She would come over to his mansion to play everyday and he would always give the commoner girl presents to take home to her struggling family.
It was until that fateful day when she seemed a little down while they were playing soccer, causing him to shoot multiple goals in a row, did he realise that something happened.
"Nel, where the heck is your prowness today; what's wrong, are you feeling unwell?" a child version of him asked gently, reaching out to feel her forehead.
"It…it's nothing…" she replied with a strained smile, but he did not believe it.
"No seriously, what's wrong Nel?" he crossed his arms and let out a frown almost resembling a pout.
"Grimm-nii-tsyan… I…I have to go far away…" she replied sadly, sitting down on the grass and hugging her knees "Mommy and daddy not here anymore… Mommy daddy not there when I went back home yesterday… They don't want me no more… Policeman said I have to live with grandpa in big city across the country…"
"No! Don't go dammit!" he begged, hugging her tight "Live with us! My dad has lots of money… then we can play everyday!"
"Grandpa said I have to live with him… "She sniffed "But I want to live with Grimm nii-tsyan!"
They were interrupted by a house servant, who carried a message from his father
"Young master, unfortunately Nel-san's ride had arrived to pick her up, I'm afraid it is time for you to say goodbye to her" the servant announced.
"No you bastard! She's staying here! I command you to back down!" He bellowed, holding onto the girl as tightly as ever.
"I'm sorry Grimmjow-sama, I'm afraid I'll have to take her off you by force then. "He sighed as several of the house's security guards began approaching him. He remembered himself running while dragging the weeping girl behind him, he remembered pair of strong hands separates his grip on Nel's shirt, and he remembered calling out to her as she was carried out of sight.
"Grimmjow-sama" the security guard said as the young lad struggled to loosen his iron grip "You must understand the man you will face if she stays here is someone far more powerful than I am now"
He heard his love-of-life's cry, and then the sound of a car driving away.
And then she was gone.
By the time Grimmjow arrived at his black BMW convertible the sky was already tinted with specks of light leading to dawn. He checked his schedule on his phone; he still needed to attend a business party organised by his father that night and before that he had a whole day to get ready.
*Flashback*
"Old man, I told you, I don't want to fucking waste a whole Sunday night for another stupid party of yours" Grimmjow spat as he slammed his fists down onto the dining table before slumping back into his chair "There's no hot girls, there's no-one that isn't a snob and most of all Ulquiorra Schiffer will be there!"
Ulquiorra was Grimmjow's rival. He never beats the guy in anything but swearing. The lad is deadly quiet and even if he did talk he speaks no more than 10 words at a time.
"But need I remind you that it is a business party and that the Schiffer family was only invited because we are going to discuss a merge between two of our branches?" his father responded calmly, taking a sip of wine from his glass before settling it onto the table.
"Also son, I do expect manners from you" the man continued "because I specially invited the head of our rival company Mr. Oderchvank to attend with his granddaughter, I needed to show him that we are not easy to mess with; your job is to use your charms against his daughter while we discuss business."
"Pfft, she's probably one of those ugly snobby bitches that are head over heels in love with me" Grimmjow rolled his eyes "I think I have met all of our rival's daughters old man, I don't need to do anything about them"
"No son, this one's different, Neliel is an intelligent young woman, and she wouldn't be easy to handle" the elder Jeagerjaques explained "Since I have never met her and only heard a few rumours about her, I'm relying on you for this one son."
"Yeah whatever old man" the teal-haired youth made a gesture to the maid to clean up his plate and left the table.
"Neliel… Che, just because her name sounds similar to hers, doesn't make her any special…" Grimmjow thought to himself, starting up his ride "I'll just make her fall for me and then dump her… easy as…"
A/N: You may realise that I did not insert Nel and Grimm's parents' name; that is because it is up to you readers to decide. I need Neliel's grandfather's name and Grimmjow's father's name. I only accept Spanish or Japanese names sorry. Just tell me through a review. I will acknowledge you in the next chapter.

No teasers in this fic DX, I personally find them difficult.
Vizards over Hollows will not be put on hold, oh the wonders of multi-tasking!
