Sweet Love novel Chapter 1

October goes by along with the endless rain and the shrouding icy chill in the City Marea.

Macy Downey is driving into a high-end apartment community downtown, where her ex-boyfriend, Eliot Penn’s apartment is located.

She desperately needs money and evidence at the moment so as to get rid of the financial crisis of her family business. Her father was arrested and her mum’s health condition got worsened for the crises. Besides Eliot, she can’t think of anyone to ask for help.

Her mind had lingered on her situation until she came to herself before she pushes the door to enter.

Unlike the damp and cold staircase, the entire apartment is enfolded by the soothing heat. On the floor, clothes are scattering, including men’s business suits and women’s lingerie.

Macy pauses, stretches her arm to reach the unlatched door, and pushes it.

“Oh my god! Who are you?” Screams the lady on the bed inside, who speedily grabs a quilt to cover her chest.

The ultimate moment of joy is therefore ruined by this incidence. Eliot lets out his anger with his swearing and turns his head over to the door. Seeing Macy’s presence and her pale face, Eliot is startled and he asks: “How come you are here?”

Macy feels disgusted with these two naked bodies in front of her, but she still tries to put on a smile and says, “Eliot, could you spare some time for me please? We need to talk.”

“For what?”

Eliot ironically studies Macy’s charming figure, “What a surprise. The young missy from the Downey’s came for me in person. Every dog has his day!”

Macy pinches herself in the back of her palm to maintain her calmness. “Eliot, I really need your help right now. Could you please lend me some money for the sake of our previous relationship? I promise I will return it to…”

“Our previous relationship?”

Eliot bursts out laughing as if he had heard a joke. “Miss Downey, have you lost your memory? You said you would never have any connection with me the last time you broke up with me. Why do you come to me for money now? What do you plan to hold in pledge if I lend you?”

“You or the rubbish business of Downey’s?”

“Eliot…”

“Never mind!” Eliot cut off their conversation. “I am very busy now. Either you get out by yourself or you stay and have fun with me. I don’t mind trying some new stuff tonight.”
