AVERY MANE GOT A GLOW UP (Men at her feet) 26: MINNIE'S POV
I stood frozen at the end of the executive corridor, my hand gripping a stack of files so hard the edges crinkled. My heart was thundering against my ribs.I had seen it all.I had seen it all and was lucky as hell that I did not get caught spying on my boss.Avery Mane?How was this even possible? Did she really own 40% shares or was that just my ears playing tricks on me?As if that was not shocking enough, Vincent Roland,the god of the music industry, a man whose face is plastered on every magazine from here to London.He just seemed to waltz in and out of Avery’s office with a smirk that could melt stone. He had actually tapped Mr. Greyhound’s shoulder like they were old pals. The same man that everyone knows, hates him?The disrespect was breathtaking.And it was all because of her?But what happened next was even more unbelievable.I saw Mr. Greyhound, the feared ice-king who usually treats emotions like a weakness clasping a ruby necklace around Avery’s neck. And then... the

The door hadn't even fully clicked shut behind Vincent Roland before the silence in the room became unbearable.My brain was still struggling to accept that I had just walked in to see that fool in my territory and even worse, around Avery.I stood frozen, the phantom sensation of his hand on my shoulder feeling like a brand. Every instinct I possessed was screaming at me to go after him, to drag him back and beat the living daylight out of him.Beat him for disrespecting me.Beat him for putting his filthy hands on Avery.I forced a breath into my lungs, my fingers curling into tight fists at my sides. I am a Greyhound. I needed to remind myself of that.It was imperative that I do not lose my composure. I do not let a man like Roland get under my skin and make me beahve poorly in front of Avery.But looking at her, standing there with her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright from his attention, I felt like my entire world was tilting on its axis.Did she also feel attracted to Vinc

I leaned back in the plush leather seat of my Maybach, on the outside, I am relaxed but there is an inexplicable storm brewing on the inside. Usually, my mind is a fortress of contracts, talent acquisitions, and tour schedules. As the CEO of Indigo Records, I don’t just manage stars; I create them and that mostly meant that I had a one track mind.Nothing could shake me.I could not have been more wrong.In my lifetime as the owner of the biggest record label on the planet, I’ve seen the most beautiful women in the world.I have seen and even sometimes dated, supermodels, pop icons, screen sirens even.And I can say with confidence that none of them have ever made me lose my bearings.But Avery Mane? She was a haunting.Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the phantom pressure of her small, delicate hands in mine. It was also insane to say the least, the way that she carries herself.Never have I met a woman who could snub a man like Dominic Greyhound and then look me in the eye wi
AVERY MANE GOT A GLOW UP (Men at her feet) 23: AVERY'S POV
Get a hold of yourself, Avery.I was trying but it was like I had forgotten how to breathe. This man standing before me, Vincent Roland, had taken the literal air out of my lungs.Was it this possible to be this good looking?He took a few steps closer, his eyes never leaving mine. It took all my will power to not squirm.I had to get myself in order.Clearing my throat, I forced myself to wear a steel expression and look Vincent in the eye with as much false confidence as I could muster.''It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Roland''''Vincent'' He corrected.''Right. Vincent''He took my hand, turned it and kissed it. His lips brushing my fingers in a way that made my stomach drop.What was this reaction?Why was my body responding to this stranger this way?It was Dominic that I cared about. I was supposed to be attracted to just him but here was Vincent making my heart race faster that I believed was safe.''It's an honor to meet you, miss....''''Let's leave that for another time, V

The ballroom of the Grand Metropole is a sea of shifting silk and suffocating wealth. A week ago, I would have been a shadow here. Tonight, in a dress of shimmering liquid gold, I might as well have been the sun. I see him immediately which isn’t shocking seeing as he was the first person I walked in looking for. Dominic is standing near the center of the room, in his perfect, designer suit, he looks like the undisputed king of this world. The moment our eyes meet, his conversation with the people he’s talking to vanishes. A slow, genuine smile spreads across his handsome face, and he begins to excuse himself, his intent clear. He is coming for me and I can’t wait to be in his arms. My face beaming, I start to take a step toward him when the blue screen flickers, cold and unforgiving out of nowhere. [ NEW TASK: THE GHOST ] [OBJECTIVE: IGNORE DOMINIC GREYHOUND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENT.] [CRITERIA: NO EYE CONTACT. NO CONVERSATION. ACT AS IF HE DOES NOT EXIS

I stood in the driveway of the new estate, the keys heavy and cool in my palm. This wasn't just a house; it was a fortress of glass and limestone, six bedrooms of pure, unadulterated freedom.And it’s all for my dad.A cute little present from his now wealthy daughter. "Avery... sweetheart, I can't," my father, Richard, stammered, his eyes scanning the sprawling lawn and the sleek, modern architecture. "This is too much. How can you afford this?" I squeezed his hand. "Dad, for years you’ve worked to keep a roof over my head while being told you weren't doing enough. It’s my turn. The board at Greyhound Holdings takes care of its own, and I’ve had some... very successful investments." Behind us, I could hear the sharp, rhythmic clicking of heels on the pavement. Claudia and Emilia stepped out of their car, their faces a mask of poorly hidden greed and sheer shock. They had spent the entire morning complaining about the "small" size of the moving truck.But now that they were se
