I stood before the mirror a second longer than necessary, fully dressed in Evelyn’s crisp white shirt and a charcoal black skirt that looked like I was born in it.

My fingers tightened slightly around the handle of my bag, as I studied my reflection.

The white shirt sat neatly against my skin, crisp and clean, nothing like the faded blouses I had buried back where they belonged, deep down in my box.

    I stood before the mirror a second longer than necessary, fully dressed in Evelyn’s crisp white shirt and a charcoal black skirt that looked like I was born in it. My fingers tightened slightly around the handle of my bag, as I studied my reflection. The white shirt sat neatly against my skin, crisp and clean, nothing like the faded blouses I had buried back where they belonged, deep down in my box. The charcoal black skirt hugged my hips just right, falling smoothly down my thighs, shaping me in a way I hadn’t seen in a long time. My mind drifted a little to the days at Steele Architectural Co. My outfit had always drawn attention toward me, elegant and mind-blowing. I shifted my weight slightly, the last thing I wanted was to sulk right now. It was going to ruin a whole lot for me, The low heels felt unfamiliar even though they were the only thing that belonged to me in this entire outfit. Oh! And the beauty of course. My gaze lifted to my face, hair pulled into a high bun, an

    “Oh, my Lord!” I gasped. Eyes moistened at once. The phone in my hand was visibly shaking. I had no idea Evelyn stood by the door, watching.I tilted my head backward. Pain writhing my heart apart. Then footsteps clicked, I looked and it was Helen, she walked into the bedroom.“Don't tell me it's another outright rejection?” She quizzed. A knot clogged my throat. I couldn't say a word. I just shoved the gadget into her hand.“Oh my,” she slurred as she swiped through the message that sat on the screen. Then she moved, pulling me into a hug. “I'm so sorry, Maya.” She patted my back.This was the fifth rejection message I had received in my mailbox since the day I was at my Mom's. I didn't know what hurt most even now, the fact that these companies rejected my application without even scheduling an interview, or the fact that the messages were almost the same.What on earth do they mean by ‘due to reasons we plead not to disclose, we wouldn't be going ahead with an interview’? Like I w

    “What do you think you're doing being here?” I blurted. Words had fallen out of clenched teeth. “Are you trying to buy my mother over now?” I made sure to keep my voice low. The last thing I wanted was for my mother to hear Gabriel and me arguing. Of course, she would lecture me on how much I should strive to keep my home. A home that never existed.He scoffed. The type that gets on my last nerve and makes me want to fling a fist hard in his face. Then he stretched out a hand across the couch he sat on.“Would you rather have me try another route?” He smirked. “Wait! What if I have her tied to a seat in a dark room?! Would that be a better option?” “Oh! You wouldn't dare!” My jaw clenched hard. Fists curling hard against my side on the couch closer to the one he sat on.“What would you do, huh?” He scoffed. “Run off to your new man? Did you see how shameless you looked in his arms? It's barely a week and you're already whoring yourself off to him!” His eyes darkened the moment he s

    “Wait, you're saying you spent an entire night with the hottest bachelor in this city,” Evelyn drawled. “I mean, Billionaire Williams Banks… Man who commands a conglomerate of businesses, and you're not over the roof?” I stood by the window, fists clenched around the curtains in my hand; the bright sun outside did nothing to ease my mind, and Evelyn was bent on making the matter worse. “No. Make it make sense to me… I don't get why you're sulking!” She snapped. “If I as much as get a glance from that man, heaven will never hear the last of it.”I turned now. Eyes twitched at how unbelievably she could be. “Eve, could you even hear yourself now? How did we meet again?” I slurred. “That man happened to be Gabriel’s friend! Gabriel would definitely ruin me by the time this gets out!”“Oh! Come on, he wouldn't dare! You said it yourself… Williams is a powerful man… All you have to do is accept the offer, work in his company… I mean, it shouldn't be hard since I was already putting in so

    I moved, to get on him, of course that was all I was used to, humping on Gabriel. But his thick hands pinned me down.“Don't rush,” he muttered lowly, his eyes had turned into something else, dim, dark, seductive blue. I watched as he moved, then he dropped to his knees before me, his hands resting on my thighs. Slowly, he parted them, like he was in charge, every move of his electric.“What are you doing?” My voice trembled, eyebrows puckered in confusion.A naughty smile formed on his lips. “Watch me,” he gasped. And I did.He planted a kiss against my thighs, fire shot through my body at once, then he kissed all the way up to my inner thighs, I opened up before him completely.“No panties… Perfect!” He mumbled under his breath. Of course, I had yanked them off, they were soaked in the rain too. His hands pushed the shirt up, making sure it was bunched right above my breasts.Then he slid two fingers inside of me, a loud growl left my throat. He parted the lips of my pussy with two

    The vehicle nosed its way into the large compound, coursed through the driveway, and pulled to a stop right under the huge forecourt of the white building.“Wait here,” Williams said, almost whispering.Then he threw open his door and walked around the car, my eyes followed him through every step. He pulled the door open and waited while I stepped out.“Thank you,” I muttered. The driver moved the car away to the parking lot. The heavy sounds of rain still hammered on the roof like it had no plans of stopping anytime soon. Bright lights flashed all over me the moment the heavy doors glided shut behind us. I stood transfixed at a spot, tugging the jacket tighter over my body. Everything in here looked twice as expensive as the ones in Gabriel's mansion.I darted my eyes away, the last thing I wanted was to be seen drooling over a house I shouldn't be in in the first place. Droplets of water hit the floor from my dress.Williams had disappeared down the hallway after asking me to wait
