AURORA

I push the door to the private room at exactly nine a.m.

Garrick had sent over the details for the meeting to my phone last night. He claimed to have gotten a link to the V Collectives, and they would be essential in getting us in.

‘With your great designs and my connections, we can at least bring pride to the Sterling Group.’

I could tell this was a trap, but there was no way to gather enough evidence without going in willingly.

Alexander had tried to act like he didn't care I was going

  • Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE

    AURORAThe bid starts after a few minutes.I listen to every presentation before me. All of the designs were done by top designers whom companies had paid a fortune to recruit.I fiddled with my dress, rehearsing my speech over and over in my head. When the names Aurora Vance and Sterling Group were called together, I walked up the stage, my head held high and my nose in the air, hoping that I was not tripping over air because that would be a good way to embarrass myself and the Sterling Group.I can’t remember half of what I said, but I remember that at the end, the entire hall was standing and clapping for me.The second phase of the presentation was the display. I went backstage to the dressing room that we had been assigned, and Jason was already waiting.He pulled me into a hug and let out a sigh.“My job is saved,” he murmured.“What?”“I was thinking that you would ruin it, and then I’d have to quit my job and start from the bottom.”I pulled away from him. Playful teasing ling

    AURORAFor a moment, I said nothing.I stayed frozen, stunned by his words and the audacity behind them. His company was failing, and the V Collective was his way out.And instead of focusing on his debts and trying to pull himself through, he was fixated on me like a madman.“I am married, Julian,” I finally managed to say.“I know.” He nodded. “But you can divorce that pretty boy and be with me.” He tried to touch my face. I swatted his hand away.“You want me to leave my husband and be with you?” His eyes perked up as if he was glad I was finally getting what he was trying desperately to tell me.I put my hand in front of me, one on top of the other. “Isn’t Vance Group targeting Prescott Group?”His brow furrowed. He had not expected me to know this. They had been trying to keep the news of their failing stock off the internet, hoping this partnership would save them.He didn’t know that the husband to mine he despised was the reason he was in this mess in the first place.“How do

    AURORAJulian looked like he had aged a few years since the last time I saw him.Even a well-tailored suit and haircut didn’t hide the eye bags under his eyes and how stressed he looked. Victoria, on the other hand, looked like she had been relaxed.She was wearing a necklace that cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her lips curled into a smile, and she tried to move towards me, but Chloe pulled me away.“We’ve already gotten our fair share of scumbags and jerks for the day. Let’s not stand here.”Victoria stomped her feet angrily, watching us walk away while saying something about how out of place we were.Chloe and I settled by the dessert table, where she took it upon herself to try out every dessert that was there.“Eat less,” I murmured, leaning into her side.She shook her head and pushed a small meatball through her lips. “Everything here is so delicious.”She raised the stick, holding a ball of meat drenched in some sauce close to my mouth. “Here, have a bite.”I c

    AURORA“Why didn’t you bring your husband instead? Or is he done pretending to be rich?”The smile on her face was all I needed to know. She was trying to push me on purpose. She wanted to humiliate me, not because she knew that Alexander was poor.But because she feared he might be a better catch than Henry. She had been snooping around, trying to find more about Alexander.The Vance Group was not a joke. All of her inquiries ended up in nothing. She had just wasted her money instead.I didn’t respond immediately. That was what she wanted. For me to lose control and then begin to go back and forth with her.“You know there is no need for him to be shy. He is family. I am sure Mom would be glad to find him a job,” she added.Chloe looked at me and then at them. “Are they serious right now? They don’t know…”“They don’t deserve to know.” I shook my head.She laughed and took a step closer to Melody. She traced her face, and Melody cowered. She liked playing games like this but hated be

    AURORA“You’re looking stunning.”Chloe stood by the door and stared at me in the mirror. I turned to her and looked down at the teal dress I was wearing. Before I could protest about how extravagant the dress was, she moved closer to me.“Teal is definitely your color," she said, adjusting my dress.V Collective was throwing a party, and halfway through, they’d have the final bid. The rumors were that they were going to reveal the boss today, and Chloe was eager to see him because she had heard rumors about his looks.“Don’t you think it’s too much?” I turned back to the mirror. My hair was in a luxurious bun sitting low on my neck. My face was beaten with makeup products that hid every flaw perfectly.“Too much? You want Melody to overshadow you?”“I am not going to parade myself like a peacock," I sighed.“I am not saying you should.” She shook her head. “I am saying you are a million times better and more beautiful than Melody. Why should you let her steal your thunder?”“You know

    ALEXANDERAurora stepped out of the study. She closed the door gently, like she was afraid of waking a sleeping baby.But the sound of the click made my heart twist weirdly. That look on her face. Had she misunderstood something?She looked at me like I had betrayed her.I walked back to my seat and opened the laptop. I stared at the IPO documents on the screen with the title V Collective IPO Plan.If she had seen that, then what kind of trouble would it have caused?I knew Aurora. She had always been driven and had a mind of her own. She had run away from home once because things didn't go her way. She had said it countless times that she didn't want anyone pulling any strings for her.I knew what it meant to want to have something like this on your own. She wanted to take Sterling Group on her merit, ensuring everyone knew what her worth was.If she knew right now that I was the boss at V Collective, it might make her feel like her work was a waste.I didn't mean to hide it from her
