Stupid Love

The aroma of coffee hit my nose and even if I wanted to have my meal in a good mood, I couldn't.

The atmosphere here was different than in my country. It was busier and more populated than my home and also more dusty. There were too many routes and streets that I almost lost three times to reach here. And it took me a whole day to come here without my bodyguard.

It was a marvelous cafeteria where I was seated. It was decorated in a vintage theme. The antiques, the curtains, even the wallpaper of the walls gave off old vibes but it was built just a year ago.

By the famous multi billionaire, Mathew Watson. 

And I was here for a business deal.

However, right now, I couldn't even concentrate on the deal anymore as my stomach boiled in anger. 

I fisted my palms as my eyes fell on a certain person.

Daniel Fredrickson...

I was betrothed to him and we had a marriage in two months, but he was just in front of me with another girl in his arms.

With Lola. 

Well, she was just a peasant not from any royal bloodline and not even a daughter of any famous businessman. She was a maid!

I couldn't believe what my dad would say if he saw Daniel like this. Well, it's not like I cared much since it was his idea to get me married with his business partner's son. 

The thing I was angry about was not because I loved him, I was angry that we were going to get married yet he was shamelessly kissing Lola in a cafeteria outside of our country! He had the nerve to cheat on me and he thought if he had come with his maid, nobody would know in our home.

Did he think about my reputation even?!

Oh! Well, when did he ever think of any of our reputation?

It wasn't the first time I caught him with a girl. Lola was just another one of his list. I just didn't bother before but now I was serious!

I was just mad that even when I didn't want to marry a person like him, I had no choice!

His dad had a good political influence in Europe thus, my dad wanted to strengthen his feet in his mayor's seat so, this was a beneficial marriage.

Without love.

And I had to marry him even when I didn't love him. I didn't want to be in a loveless marriage...

I stood up as I had enough of his shit!

Daniel Fredrickson was a jerk! And I wanted to tell him that on his face!

I went with the hot coffee mug of mine and reached their table. 

They were so in love that they didn't even see me standing near them. 

I coughed.

Daniel said, without looking at me, "No. We don't need any more orders, we are fine."

I scowled. Did he think I was a waitress or something!

I was wearing an elegant, branded, expensive dress that even he couldn't afford. 

I coughed again but they were sitting, hands in hands, gazing at each other's eyes. He batted his eyelashes and she batted hers.

She giggled and said, "Danieee... stop looking at me like that I am...I'm shy..."

He said with a gentle voice, "No... If I don't look at you, how am I able to carve you in my memories."

I cringed. 

Ew! I was one step closer to puke on them but I resisted.

Was that how cringey love was! 

Damn! Then I don't want to fall in love! 

Seriously, who needs love when you have money?

So, I am Clara Harriett Jonas Ferdinand, a princess from Europe. Well, in this era, we didn't have any patriarchal society nor the power but because of our wealth from our ancestors, we were now into businesses. 

Especially the hotel businesses and my father wanted to come, meet the famous and popular hotel owner, who had a lot of luxury hotels all over the world, Mathew Watson! 

However, I heard that he had to cancel the meeting because his wife got sick. I saw in the news that she was pregnant. 

I sighed. What a beautiful fairytale...

But who believed in fairytales? 

Certainly, I didn't want any fairytale.

Everyone wanted money, that included me as well. Money could buy everything yet they say, money is not going to make you happy and money certainly can't buy love.

Hah! I can pretty much see how money can buy a love...

Daniel didn't love me but what he did love was money. And because of that he wanted to marry me because even if they were powerful, we were rich.
