VERONICA

My eyes trailed over to the cardboard box, inside were a few documents, some paper clips, staplers and a couple of pens. I watched Julian take a spin around the office till his eyes finally landed back on me.

A sigh left his lips, he trailed towards me, ignoring the redness of my eyes reaching for the wine I'd brought earlier and puts the wine in the box. His hand moved to the corner of the box and instinctively, I reached inside and took out the wine and placed it back on the table.

    VERONICA My eyes trailed over to the cardboard box, inside were a few documents, some paper clips, staplers and a couple of pens. I watched Julian take a spin around the office till his eyes finally landed back on me. A sigh left his lips, he trailed towards me, ignoring the redness of my eyes reaching for the wine I'd brought earlier and puts the wine in the box. His hand moved to the corner of the box and instinctively, I reached inside and took out the wine and placed it back on the table.Our eyes meets as he reached for the wine, gently putting it back in the box.I was defiant and without a second thought took it out. My hand gripped to the tip of the bottle as Julian wrapped his hand around mine, tugging it back and forth with till he finally won, yanking it off my grasps.I slide the box, straight to the floor out of rage."Veronica.." Julian hissed, his grip still tight on the wine before he gently settled it down on the table."Don't..." I halt him immediately before he co

    REBECCA Veronica’s lips twitched, a mocking chuckle breezing past her lips until it transitioned into full-blown laughter. Her eyes tilted round the room as she turned to Matthais who turned to me in confusion about what was funny.Her head spun back, Matthias gripped on to her even more as she tilts it back in place, a brow arched in place."Let go of me." She struggled against Matthias, whose eyes flicked to me, waiting for my next command. I nod at him, his grip on her losens and he steps back as Veronica prances forward, towards my direction."Look here Rebecca.." she hissed. "I'll only pardon you only on the occasion that you must be high. So listen up, this office doesn't belong to you. Infact...." Her hand pressed to her chest."Nothing in this building is yours. You can’t even boast of owning a measly 0.1 percent of Crestwell’s shares…""But I own six percent..." I cut her off watching her furrowed brows mellow down into a line of shock. She drags a sigh out of her lips, a fr

    REBECCAMy eyes stroll down to the gentleman before me. He stepped into the office, moving forward while looking like a nervous wreck. One thing was obvious. He was handsome, probably a bit younger than me, and from the way he dressed, it wasn't hard to tell he was somewhat of a novice."M-Matthias S-Stewart... I'm your new secretary assigned to you... I mean... just today," he stuttered nervously, finding it difficult to make eye contact with me or barely form his words. My elbows rested on the table as I checked him out once more.Julian clearly kept up with one of my demands but had assigned me to a novice. On purpose? I wouldn't put it past him.I got up from my seat, walking around the desk before sitting on it, crossing my legs and folding my arms. The gesture made Matthias swallow hard."Rebecca Jillian..." I extended my hand toward him with a smile curled on my lips.He looked surprised, hesitant even, but still took my hand as we shook."So, Matthias, what's the first order o

  • From Divorce Papers, To Billionaire's Wife   008: Your worst nightmare

    REBECCA My heart was racing. As I recalled my conversation with Dominic. I really did just agree to a contract marriage with this man and I was neither drunk or high. And it was all because of Julian, pissing me off about apologising to Veronica. My hand dragged at my collar and it felt hot in Dominic's car. I sat in the back with him while his secretary sat at front with the driver and neither of us said another word since our agreement.Soon, the car stopped right in front of my hotel and I instantly felt a bit of relief at least the awkward tension was going to end. My hand reached for the door."One moment." Dominic interrupted me, taking off his seatbelt as the strong scent of his cologne hits my nostrils and suddenly I was taken back to moments of that night. And instead of the drunken memory of Julian I could actually see Dominic. In that moment the atmosphere got hotter but I felt my seatbelt get unstrapped and my door unlock.I looked out to see the door opened a bit and ba

    REBECCA "If it involves giving you my body. I'll rather not take this offer." I said as Dominic laughed letting go of my hair. “Don’t worry, Rebecca. You may not need to do that just yet perhaps later, if the need arises,” Dominic said, as my face contorted into a frown. The playful air around him faded almost instantly. “I need a wife,” he continued. “The Chairman, my grandfather is threatening my position of succession if I don’t get married and give him an heir. And you seem like the perfect candidate for my bride.” I couldn’t help but feel offended. “How desperate do you think I am, Dominic?” I asked. “What makes you think I’m not desperate as well? Are you even considering my offer?” he replied. “And that makes it all the more insulting. Do you know what people will say about me?” I spat, steadying my breath. “A gold-digging tramp who sold her body to the highest bidder. Your offer is surely tempting, but I can’t accept it, Mr. Hayes. I can get my mother’s company without

  • From Divorce Papers, To Billionaire's Wife   006: A passionate night

    REBECCA There is this rumor about Dominic Hayes.He never brings his one night stands over to his apartment. He was one never to mix business with pleasure. Maybe that's why he was doing so well in the business world. I thought that rule applied to me and with the note I left behind, I shouldn't even be setting foot in this apartment.The loud stomping of shoes heading in my direction caught my attention, and slowly, I traced the sound to him, the man of the moment.Dominic’s eyes lingered on me, as if undressing me, and flashes of that night flickered through my mind.“Rebecca,” he said, taking off his jacket and handing it to the woman who brought me here. She accepted it with a small smile, tuckening it under her arm with a red string envelope, gracefully moving to loosen his tie.“No need, Ava,” he halts her with a flick of his wrist.She looked stunned—this was probably the first time he’d asked her not to bother. She paused for a moment, processing it, before retreating behind

    REBECCA I gripped the sheets over me, turning to my left. I let out a groan refusing to open my eyes to the harsh brightness of the room. My body was sore all over either way and even moving felt like torture. I let out a soft groan, slowly opening my eyes as I smacked my lips. My vision that was

    DOMINIC I couldn't wait to get to the condo. I checked us both into an hotel nearby and the moment I clicked the door shut. She grabbed me by my collar and pulled my into a frenzy of a kiss. My hand instinctively trail down her hips and laced round, above her ass as I pulled her close to me.Her t

    DOMINIC "We're already on our way sir, yes he's right next to me..." I watched from the corner of my eyes as my secretary eyed me. "I should give him the phone?" She said pushing her phone towards me as I took it.I let out a little sigh, I pressed the phone against my ear."Dominic.." My grandfa
