Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions CHAPTER SIXTY
AURORAI shot out of bed and sat up.For a moment, the entire room was dark and gloomy. Something harsh crawled up my throat. I closed my eyes, trying to steady the ragged breathing in my chest.My limbs still feel heavy, and my head is fuzzy. My eyes stayed closed, and the memories from the hotel came flooding back.Julian was being disgustingly close. Bile rose in my throat, and I tried to stagger out of bed. A sharp pain pierced through my arm, and that is when I realized I was hooked into an IV.The door opened, and Alexander stepped in. He rushed to my side, dropping the tray to the bedside as he grabbed my shoulder and forced me to stay still in bed.“Where are you going?”“To wash,” I blurted. My chest was heaving as I spoke. “He touched me; I am dirty. I need to wash. I have to wash. He kissed me and…” A tear fell to my cheek as I rambled.Alexander grabbed my shoulder tighter and forced me to look at him. The words died in my throat as I fixed my gaze on him.“Aurora… listen

AURORAI could feel the buzz of the drug spread through my body. Quicker than I could stop it, my knees gave under me, and I felt my body falling to the floor.Julian’s hand grabbed my side, pulling me to his side.I was struggling to free myself from his grip, but no matter how hard I tried, my limbs felt heavier than they always felt.I was struggling to speak, but I could barely hear my voice. I closed my eyes, trying to pinpoint the moment they had drugged me.I had not eaten or drunk anything from them. It must have been the strange incense smell I had first perceived when I came in.“Mr. Prescott, you should send my full pay,” I heard Garrick’s voice break me from the trance I was in.“Don't worry. You would get the money tonight,” Julian replied with some level of pride I had never heard before.“Thank you, thank you,” Garrick said in a hurried voice.“Is the room set?” Julian asked.“Of course, I already included a camera. That way she would never be able to deny it,” Garrick
Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT
AURORAI 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 out so early, but he didn't push it. He just asked me to call him if anything went wrong with me.I pressed the record on my phone and slipped it into the pocket of my jacket before pushing the door open.I stopped in my tracks at the sight in front of me. Garrick was seated beside Julian, toasting. They both turned to me, an evil smile climbing their face.Julian let out an evil laughter and shook his head. “I told you she would come alone. She is so desperate for any form of attention.”I sep
Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
AURORAThe week passed in a blur.After racing and coming in second, I was energized, and I returned to work. The other two designs were done faster than the first.When the team saw the designs, they ate their words like they didn't mean it in the first place, even though no one tried to apologize to my face.The insults on the group suddenly changed to hidden praises and backhanded comments.‘If she knew she was going to handle it, why did she make us all worry?’‘I guess she had too much confidence in herself; otherwise, she wouldn't be so stuck-up.’“How much longer are you going to look at that?” Jason asked.I looked up at him. He had made himself comfortable on the couch and was sipping his coffee like this was some sort of lounge.“I have to know what others are saying about me to be sure they aren't cursing me.”“So?” He raised his brow.I turned my phone face down to the table and pretended to clear my throat. “It's not the first time I have been the center of gossip. I am s
Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX
AURORAMy phone was buzzing with messages from the team group.Everyone was spiraling because they expected me to have finished the two extra designs and sent them. Instead, the notice of my day off was circulating the company.‘At a critical time like this, how can she take the day off?’‘Is she just mocking us? Does she think we are not worth it?’‘What if the Sterling Group fails? Does that mean I need to begin to find a new job?’Alexander waved his hand in my face. “What is it?”I looked at him, fully dressed in the customized racer gear. He looked excited to go to the Dome. I was too, but I couldn’t shake off the guilt from the messages in the group.“Maybe I shouldn’t go,” I finally said.His face went from a smile to a frown in less than a second. “Aurora?”“The company. They think I am abandoning them.”“Well? Are you?”“Of course not. It’s just that right now is critical for the company. If I don’t go, then some people might be worried.”“You can’t please them all.”“But it’

AURORAMy eyes fluttered open, and for a brief moment, I was confused.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, dragged my eyes around the room, and then shut my eyes. Maybe this was some kind of dream because there was no way I was sleeping in bed at home.I was supposed to be just taking a nap at the back of Alexander’s car, not waking up feeling refreshed as if I had slept for hours.My eyes caught the window, and the night sky was already taking over. I reached for the bedside clock and stared at it.Past six p.m.Which meant I had been sleeping from lunchtime at one p.m. till now. I shot up and ran a hand over my forehead.I bit down the side of my mouth and pinched my side.Maybe this was some kind of fever dream, and when I opened my eyes again, I would be in the car and then walk back into work.I lay back down, putting my hand over my chest to steady the rapidly growing heartbeat in my chest as I stayed still. I closed my eyes and waited, but I couldn’t fall back to sleep.My eyes fl
