Chapter 1

Three weeks ago...

"Serena! Serenaaaa!" the girl in a red dress started to scream from across the room, forcing Serena to look at her.

"Oh great, here comes Becky," she scoffed.

"You are so mean. She is not that bad!" her cousin Ariana remarked.

"She can talk non stop. The other day I put my phone on the bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water in the middle of our conversation. And when I came back, she was still talking!" Serena exclaimed. Ariana's twin sister Ally laughed out loud then stopped as Becky was getting closer.

Serena loved Ariana and Ally like they were her own sisters. Being the only child, it was hard not to get lonely but they filled the void beautifully.

They have been inseparable since they were children. They might as well be triplets.

All three of them were gorgeous. Ariana and Ally with their long brown hair and deep brown eyes and slender bodies and Serena with her head full of long and wavy blonde hair and pale green eyes which she inherited from her mother. They turned heads everywhere they went. Although no one dared approach them as they were surrounded by bodyguards dressed in black suits, courtesy of Serena's father Alexander Wolf. No matter how many times she begged him not to have his men follow her around, he still insisted on sending them.

"Should we sneak out the back door?" Serena said lazily as she watched Becky push her way through the crowd.

"Be nice," Ally scolded her.

But Serena didn't want to. Being nice wasn't her forte. She was known as a cold bitch throughout high school and college but she didn't give a flying fuck about it.

"I made it!" Becky chirped.

"So you did," Serena said and looked at her with a bored expression. Serena didn't like Becky at all. She found her loud and annoying but she was Ally and Ariana's friend so she was willing to tolerate her.

"I want to dance," Serena announced.

"Me too!" Becky said excitedly.

"Who should I dance with?" Serena looked at Ariana and smirked. They played this game where they'd pick out a random guy at the club for each other. To dance and eventually something more.

Ariana looked around the club. There were plenty of guys to choose from. Some of them weren't half bad. Her wandering eyes stopped when she spotted a man sitting at the bar. He looked like he was about their age with shoulder-length black hair. She couldn't see his face clearly as the VIP lounge was a bit far from the bar but he looked interesting.

"How about that one right there?" she pointed at him and looked at Serena.

Serena followed Ariana's finger and looked at the man who was leisurely sipping on his drink, talking to no one. A loner huh?

"Good choice. I am a sucker for guys with long black hair," she grinned.

"Yes we know," Ally and Ariana said at the same time and giggled.

"Bye ladies. This could be his lucky night tonight," Serena remarked seductively and headed towards him.

"Or unlucky," Ally smirked. "I already feel bad for the guy. I hope she goes easy on him," she said, making Ariana and Becky laugh.

Serena stood next to the man and observed him intently. He was well built with a strong, defined jaw and a pair of piercing grey eyes that complemented his tanned skin. Just her type. Ariana chose well, she thought.

"Hey," she said quietly.

Noah Smith looked up as he heard a melodious voice and found himself staring at a gorgeous blonde that stood in front of him. She was wearing a silver mini sequined dress with lacy high heels. Normally he didn't like women who dressed this flashy but the dress complimented her figure perfectly as she had curves in all the right places. But why was she talking to him?

"Hey," he said and looked at her questioningly. Was she lost and needed his help for some reason?

"I am Serena and you are?" she asked.

"Noah," he said.

"Would you like to dance with me?" she walked closer and gave me a sultry smile.

Wait...she is asking me to dance with her? he thought to himself. He couldn't believe his luck.

"You want to dance with me? But why?" he asked.

"I want to dance with you and I don't need to give you an explanation as to why," she said. Her tone sounded demanding which turned him on a little.

Noah wasn't much of a dancer. But even so, he couldn't refuse the woman in front of him. She had a certain allure about her and it wasn't just because she was beautiful. Her dark and mysterious demeanor was what attracted him the most. And those sparkling green eyes were so intense that he couldn't take his eyes off of them. There was no way he could refuse her. Not after what he had been through tonight.

"I would love to," he smiled and took her hand.
