Dangerous Heartbeats 90 - The beginning of the end
A week later **♡ Skylar ♡"With all the evidence presented in court today, I hereby confirm Ethan Jun and Elias Jun guilty as charged and hence sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor"The judge hit the gavel on the table and got on his feet."Court arise."We all got on our feet, and I watched in relief as the policemen whisked them away. I didn't feel bad for Ethan at all. He didn't show remorse when he tried to kill me, so why should I? It felt great to finally get justice for all they did to me. Not just for me and my mom but for every other person whose life has been ruined by them. Mom turned to me as she pulled me for a tight hug."I'm proud of you, Skylar,""I'm glad you never gave up, not even once," she added. As she pulled away, she held both my hands, a smile on her face."Now, forget all that happened in the past and live your life the way you should have. Don't hold back anymore. "I nodded. I felt tears escape from my eyes. But this time, they weren't because I w
Dangerous Heartbeats 1 - Valerie McCoy
♡ Valerie ♡I dragged my feet on the tiled floor as I walked across the room into my bathroom. My reflection stared back at me blankly as I glanced into the mirror. Blue eyes swollen from constant crying, and dark circles underneath my eyes from lack of sleep. My long brown hair was held in a messy bun. In short, I looked like the opposite of myself. I mean, I couldn't blame myself.Ever since Mom died in the fire accident at her workplace, I have been the opposite of myself. How could I live well when the only family I had left was gone, leaving me alone in this cruel world?The doorbell ringing pulled me out of my intense stare at the mirror as my eyes darted to the door.Was the landlord here to send me out? Could my life get any worse than it already is?I ran my fingers through my hair. Muttering a short, hopeful prayer that it wasn't the landlord at the door, I made my way out of the bathroom.I wrapped my hands around the handle and yanked it open. A wide, surprised smile made
Dangerous Heartbeats 2 - Skylar De Novo
Five Years Later...New York, Manhattan, LDN Corp.♡ Skylar ♡Standing by the glass wall that gave a beautiful view of Manhattan, a smirk formed on my lips.It was finally the day. The day I had been waiting for and working my ass off for. The day the whole world will see the face behind the fast-rising LDN Corp.The sound of the door opening made me turn around, and my eyes fell on the little girl running toward me.A smile broke out on my face as I stooped and scooped her into my arms, earning a giggle from her."Sweetheart, where's Hannah?" I asked, dropping her to stand back on her own.She had a mischievous smile on her lips and her blue eyes stared back at the door as if expecting someone to walk in."She's on her way."I raised a brow at her."What-""How can a five-year-old run this fast?" A familiar voice cut me off, and I looked towards the door to see Hannah walking in. She shut the door after her.I immediately understood the mischievous smile she had on earlier, and I gla
Dangerous Heartbeats 3 - Blue eyes
### The next day... ★ Miller Groups ♡ Alfred ♡ Seated on the swivel chair in my office, my brows snapped together while I typed away on my laptop, my free hand running through my hair continuously. The screen suddenly went blank, and a string of profanities escaped my lips. Seriously?! I'm getting tired of this sh*t. I looked up from the blank screen, and my eyes met with the door. At that instant, it swung open, and someone walked in. A particular black-eyed dude that frustrates me. "Have you seen it?" Xander asked, his eyes lit up with something I couldn't quite pinpoint. "Seen what?" I rolled my eyes, flexing my fingers. "Skylar De Novo's reveal, damn, it's trending at number one." I scoffed, leaning back on the chair as I stole a glance at the still blank screen. Of course, this was what she wanted. The whole attention to be on her, but she was no match for Miller Groups. She was no match for me. "She's one hell of a pretty lady, though," Xander commented, and I looke
Dangerous Heartbeats 4 - Mr Handsome
♡ Skylar ♡"Rora?!" I called. She didn't reply, so I turned to look at her.I sighed, seeing that she was no longer standing beside me.Hannah placed the black gown back on the rack and looked at me."She must have left while we were arguing."I rubbed my temples tiredly.Gosh, I can't deal with this girl always running off when we are at the mall."I'll go check for her before she gets herself injured like the last time," I said to Hannah, who just nodded in reply, and I walked away.I started with the children's section, but she wasn't there. As I moved past the racks, my eyes suddenly fell on Aurora, but she wasn't alone. She was talking to someone. I walked up to them immediately."What in the world do you think you're doing?" I snapped at the guy, and Aurora turned to me just at the same time he did.Immediately our eyes met, I froze. Literally. My breathing hitched as his blue eyes bore into mine like he was trying to read something.Those striking blue eyes I'd always recognize,
Dangerous Heartbeats 5 - C'est la Vie
♡ Skylar ♡ Ethan and Hannah turned at once to look at Alfred before they turned back to me."Is that Alfred Miller, or are my eyes just seeing wrong?" Ethan asked the obvious.Who else would it be except the asshole? I wanted to retort, but I decided against it."Also, why is she calling him Mr. Handsome? Is there something you guys are not telling me?" he added.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration."I'll be right back," I mumbled and got on my feet, heading to their table, which was just two tables away from ours."We meet again, Ms. De Novo," Alfred called, his eyes twinkling in amusement as I stopped by their table.I clenched my fists inwardly, new-found anger bubbling inside of me, even though I tried my best not to show it. All that was on my mind was to tug at Catherine's hair and yank it until her scalp felt sore and do something much worse to Alfred, and I did just that.I grabbed Catherine's hair angrily, tugging it hard, just like she had done five years ago."Yo
Dangerous Heartbeats 6 - Who's she?
♡ Alfred ♡I stared at her as she turned around and walked away.Damn. Why the heck was she being so damn rude and tough? Acting like I was the cause of all her life problems. And what exactly did she even mean by it was all my fault? Like I've ever had an encounter with her before!I exhaled and headed for the elevator.One thing I know is that I won't be working with her. Heck! I can't stand her attitude. Immediately the elevator doors slid open and I stepped out, I pulled up my nose mask and made my way out of the building, only pulling it off when I was protected by the opaque glass windows of my car.As soon as I started the car and drove out of the parking lot, a message popped up on my phone screen. - Come home now - It was a simple three words from my dad that meant something not good. It was either he was about to give me some long boring lectures about why I wasn't married or blame me for something falling apart in the company or give me unending orders. Stupid ridiculous
Dangerous Heartbeats 7 - Taking risks
♡ Skylar ♡LDN CompanyI slumped down on my chair, an exhausted sigh escaping my lips as I glanced at the time displayed on my laptop.The day was almost over, and I still hadn't decided if I was going to accept the mayor's offer or not.If it wasn't for Alfred being involved, I wouldn't even think twice before accepting it. But of course, Alfredo Miller had to be involved. My mind wandered back to the little argument we had before I stormed away. Honestly, I had thought I had gotten way past the pain, but it turns out it was all a damn lie. Seeing him again, over and over, it's like it's causing all these pains I had been pushing down to resurface.Whenever he talked, everything reignited, reminding me of my awful past. It was harder than I had thought.I groaned, dragging both my palms down my face.I picked up the contract documents and flipped through the pages as I started to weigh my options.The pros were more than the cons, so I just had to take the risk. Risk. It was all ab
