Hey guyz! So this is my first fanfic story and I don't expect you guys to go nicey-nice because I'm new and I'm okay with that. Sorry for the grammar errors but English is not my mother tongue. I know there are some OOCness here and there but forgive me, I really tried but I really can't make it perfect. Just enjoy!

"Not again!" Annabeth shouted at her working desk.

Annabeth was finishing the blueprints of Olympus so that she could finish it before the deadline and that she could see the pride in her mother's eyes after she presents this to her. What a lame excuse, Annabeth, she thought to herself. The truth is, she was doing some unneccesary blueprints so that she could forget a stupid son of Poseidon but only ending up with drawing a really formed house that she wish could be theirs.

She picked up the damn paper and threw it in the trash bin with so much force that it made the trash bin fall. Tears were now running down the woman's cheeks. She didn't want to remember him after what happened. She could remember it so well...

A black haired man and a blond woman, both at the age of 21, was walking through Central Park, with their fingers intertwined. On the woman's face was happiness, calmness, and pure joy. While on the man's face was full of seriousness, determination, and a little bit of regret.

"I have to tell you something, Annabeth." the man spoke with coldness in his tone.

Annabeth was confused but said, "Okay Percy, but what is it?"

"I don't want to be difficult so I will just go with the straight-to-the-point thing," he took a long breath before saying, "I'm breaking up with you Annabeth."

Percy was looking at Annabeth straight in the eyes. While Annabeth froze like stone. It's so little to take in but for Annabeth it was as if her world just broke down by those words.

She dropped Percy's hand and backed away from him as if he was a disease. "Why?"

"You wouldn't understand Annabeth. It's just, I think we're better off away from each other. I don't deserve you and I'm not good enough for you. Besides, our parents don't approve our relationship." he said with the same cold tone.

"Percy. We've been going strong for five years now. I feel safe, loved, protected when I'm with you. How is that better, away from each other? I don't give a shit on what our parents think. I love you and nothing will change that." she said, trying to calm herself. She doesn't know whether if she will cry or kill this stupid boy.

"Don't you see, Annabeth? We've known each other for years now. We didn't even give other people a chance!"

"Chance? What chance? I don't see your point. What are you saying, Perseus?" she demanded.

Percy flinched when Annabeth growled his full name and for a second he actually regretted doing this. "I mean, it was only us when we could see other people. See if there are other better people than just us. Who knows maybe there are other guys that are better for you."

She just shook her head, "I love you Percy. There will be no other guy for me. Didn't Luke already finished that?"

Percy was about to respond when realization hit her hard at her face and that was when the tears came to her eyes, "You're seeing another woman, aren't you?" it came out as a whisper when she wanted to scream.

Percy looked defeated. He wanted to break up with Annabeth so he could be free because he loved another woman but he doesn't also want to hurt Annabeth, double.

"Annabeth..." he whispered, touching her arm.

Annabeth jerked his hand quickly. "You cheating bastard! How could you?" tears were running down her cheeks.

"Annabeth..." he whispered again.

Annabeth could just stare unbelievably at him, "I gave you everything. I stood up against my mother just for you! I gave you my love! And how you repay me? By cheating!"

She stomped off but Percy caught up and ran in front of her, blocking her way, "Annabeth just listen!" he was also shouting.

"What is there to listen to! You cheated me for another! Case closed!" she was trying to escape from Percy but he won't allow it.

"I love you, Annabeth!" he said.

Annabeth looked at him as if he was the craziest person on the planet, "First, you break up with me. Then, I just figured out you cheated on me. After that, you say that you love me."

There was regret in Percy' eyes. But Annabeth knew that the different Percy. The Percy who dumped her. The Percy who slept with another woman. She knew that that Percy was dancing right now inside him and was grinning victoriously.

"It's over Percy" she said.

Percy gave her way this time. She headed to her apartment. She could feel his green eyes following her but she didn't care. At the moment, she didn't care about him or anything else. She wanted to get a knife and strike it at the small of his back. But she knew she couldn't. She still loves him even after what he did.

She laid down at her bed and stared at the ceiling. She trusted Percy. She thought he was better than Luke. She thought she had the man of her dreams. She loved him. Before, she thought that green was more beautiful than blue. But now, green and blue are both nothing.

I'm sorry, dear. Percy was filled by lust but he still loves you. Always remember that. A little, sweet voice said to her.

"No doubt it was Aphrodite..." she said under her breath.

Another voice appeared in her head but this time it was sharper and more stable.

I told you he was not worth it. Sons of Poseidon are never worth it. I know you loved him but try to move on. It is not wise to waste your life, moping over a boy who dumped you and cheated on you.

"Mom..." she muttered.

She was right about him after all she thought.

Annabeth stood up. She picked up the picture of the man with black hair and sea green eyes. It was obvious why she loved him. He was handsome, no doubt. Nice, maybe. Honest, yeah as if a lying, cheating bastard was honest. Protective, very. Adorable, isn't that why she loved him at first?

She was about to rip the picture but hesitated. Her gut was disagreeing with her actions. She settled the picture on the table. She will think of ways for that picture to be forgotten. For Percy to be forgotten.

Four years later, Annabeth finished re-designing Olympus. She was the CEO of Crooke Inc., the biggest company in the America. Her mother was darn proud of her to say the least.

Percy seemed forgotten in her head but not in her heart. Some nights she would cry just because she missed everything when they were together. Annabeth never found another guy again because she doesn't want to be hurt. Again. And she was okay with that.

One day she was at her office, drinking her usual coffee and doing some crossword puzzles when her business partner, also her best friend (besides Thalia), Lelaine McKnight, stepped in into her office.

"Goodmoring, Lel. Nice day isn't it?" Annabeth said and smiled at her. Ever since she began to work here her tone started to become more business-like and sometimes she spoke like Athena.

Lelaine smiled back. "Yeah it is, Annabeth. Too bad, I'm here for business matters not for some friendly chat."

Annabeth's smile became a frown. "Take a seat, Lel. Tell me what I need to know."

Lelaine sat at one of the two seats at the front of her table. "Annabeth, I'm sure that you know very well that just months ago, the sales of Wrangler Inc. were going down until they became bankrupt, right?"

Annabeth sighed, "Of course, Lel. Charles Wrangler wasn't happy about it. That's why we ascended. Their employees transferred at our company and their clients became ours. But it wasn't a nice scene at all." she said. Wrangler Inc. fell when she just started to work here and because of her intelligence their company rose from their bankruptcy and she became CEO.

Lelaine sighed, " Mr. Wrangler has three children. One boy, Rafael Wrangler and two girls, Ga—"

Annabeth interrupted her, "Two girls? Isn't one slut enough?"

Lelaine laughed but Annabeth kept a serious face. Obviously, Wrangler daughters are spoiled. Very spoiled.

"I bet you only knew Gabrielle Wrangler? Well, there is another one. More spoiled than Gabby the Slutty." Annabeth laughed. "Her name is Xandra Wrangler, she's the youngest one and is about your age but she's married."

Annabeth raised her eyebrows, "Married? Who's the unlucky guy?"

Lel chuckled but shrugged, "No clue. Now you know. Their father, at that time was full of range, ordered them to have jobs. Can you believe it? Wrangler children...have jobs?"

Annabeth grinned, "I'm surprised as you are, Lel. So I suspect that one of them will get a job here?"

Lel grinned, "You're really smart. Yeah, Xandra will work here. She'll come here in any minu—" she was cut off by a knock on the door.

"That's her. I'll get it." Lel said. Annabeth stood up from her chair to greet her.

She opened the door and a woman stepped in. She was beautiful. She had straight, long brown hair all down her back. Pale skin. Blue eyes. Pointed chin. Very curvy. Flawless. Annabeth could have bet that she was a daughter of Aphrodite but the Wranglers aren't god-related.

"So, you're Xandra Wrangler?" Annabeth asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Yes, I am, Miss Chase." Xandra answered, offering her hand.

Annabeth took it and shook it firmly, "You're here to get a job, if I'm correct?" Xandra nodded.

"I know much of you, Wranglers already, so I think we don't need the interview." she said but added, "I heard that you were married. To whom exactly?"

Xandra grinned evilly, "I'm married to a great man. His name is Percy Jackson."

There you have it! I insist you telling me what you think about it. Good reviews will make my day but I don't care if you flame me because your flames will be ignored at but constructive criticism is welcomed. Thank you.
