LOGINREBECCA My phone vibrated once more and incidentally my eyes panned to the mirror to see my exact makeup Naomi had put on earlier. Donned in the black dress. Not red or white.I looked to my side, they weren't there and when I could no longer hear either of them I heave a sigh of relief. My hand shakes as it moved to my phone. I picked it up to see a notification from Dominic."Are you okay? You've been awfully long upstairs.""If you don't reply me, I'll come upstairs.." I immediately swiped my purse, ran out of my apartment, shutting the door behind me and taking an elevator to the bottom floor. I walked out of my hotel, tugging on to the skirt of my dress as the cold wind of the night tickles my skin.There Dominic was, laid on his car, his eyes on his phone as a frown settled on his face. He was dressed in a black suit looking more than dashingly handsome, I didn't think it was even possible.His eyes finally wandered over to me, our eyes met and it felt like I couldn't breathe.
REBECCA "Miss Jillian.." Naomi, the stylist Dominic had hired called my name. I blinked at the mirror looking at both our reflections until I finally settled on mine.I went still, bewildered by the woman in the mirror. My mouth hung in shock, I take in a gasp as my eyes widened. "What do you think?" She asked eagerly waiting for my reply.I lift my hand up to touch my face, still baffled at the image. Naomi uses the end of my brush to press my fingers down so I wouldn't."You have to let it set first.." She said probably talking about the setting spray she applied earlier. I looked down at my phone, tapping on the screen. It's been two hours since she started beating my face and during that time I didn't even realise anything was happening."I'll be on my way now Miss Jillian.." Naomi said packing her things as I nod."Shall I escort you out?" I offered."No, there's no need." She insisted. "I know my way out." She said as I turned back to the mirror once again.She trailed up to m
REBECCA The room felt empty but I still felt the presence of Julian standing right next to me.I turned to look up at him, expecting a mischievous smirk at least to confirm he was behind this but he only gave me a pitiful one back. I get up from my seat, dragging my chair back and walking past him only for Julian to grab on to my wrist."This wasn't my doing.." he said. I could not help but scoff."Really.." I muttered, turning to him."I'm serious Veronica, I wouldn't intentionally want to hurt you. It just came up..""It just came up?" I shook my head. "You were the one who called for the meeting Julian, I'm pretty sure you were the one who brought it up and because they don't respect me, they can say such things like that. I mean where the fuck was your review when you were screwing Veronica publicly. No, I'm always the bad guy..." I tested up."Don't act so innocent, you know what you did, why the public won't take your side. It's been a year and you won't admit it. I mean, don'
REBECCA The room fell silent once more as all eyes trailed at me, waiting for my reaction. I recline back in my seat."Elaborate..." I muttered calmly and I was sure I saw a flicker of shock across their faces."Mr Orlando Sterling has being in talks for months for this particular deal. Two years ago when we wanted to partner with him he refused saying he didn't think it was wise to partner with Crestwell. Because of Julian, we were slowly able to build a relationship and gain his trust and he was so close to closing the deal up until you retained your position in Crestwell." He explained as I let out a bitter chuckle."So what? He refused because he didn't like that a woman was running Crestwell?" I muttered."No actually. He did have doubts because of your scandalous past..""Keston.." Julian spat, probably telling him to keep shut but I raised my hand at Julian."It's okay Julian.." I said and turned to Keston."If my scandalous past didn't turn him off what did?" I asked as Kesto
REBECCA "That's why I've been calling you. I thought it was weird they held one in your absence..." Matthias explained as my eyes roamed the elevator."How long has it been going on for?" I asked."Forty five minutes.." he answered almost immediately the elevator opened. I walked out, my eyes panning at the double doors glaring at me across the corridor. When I was close. Julian's secretary peeked from the corners at the right moment as if she'd been waiting for me the entire time."M-Miss Jillian..." Her voice although friendly was cracked and nervous like whatever was behind the door, she didn't want me to see it."Move.." I tell her, I try to barge in but she blocked me, denying me entrance as she shook her head."I'm not supposed to let you in Miss Jillian, please, turn back.." her voice was still shaky but she tried to sound confident."And why am I not allowed in? There's an executive meeting going on and I wasn't made aware, why is that..." I put my hand in hand air, already i
REBECCA I sat in the passenger seat a bit dazed, my head instinctively tilting over to meet Dominic's. I was still processing what had happened at the boutique. After ringing up and bagging every single luxury item. Ava came with the driver. One thing I noticed, she doesn't really like me very much, she isn't as repulsive as Veronica but sometimes her masks slips. And out of respect for Dominic, let's say she tolerates me. And I'm sure the shit Dominic pulled had her gagged and me a little bit guilty but relieved.Guilty, because she and the driver had to give up the car and take every single thing we bought to my apartment. Relieved, because I didn't want her giving me distasteful looks from the hickeys littered down the side of my neck. It wasn't as visible since I borrowed Dominic's suit jacket. A bit of the hickeys still peeked out but it wasn't something to worry about. Although Dominic's jacket practically swallowed me. Ironically the collar matched my outfit so in hindsight,
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 h
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 e
REBECCA Crestwell Enterprises was passed to my mother by her father. She was his only child after all his sons died in a ghastly accident. The board members didn't want a woman running the company and almost took it from her but she fought for it, even when my father almost took it from her.And n
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
