Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
AURORAMelody stepped onto the floor with a sly smile on her face.Garrick was right beside her, looking like he had won the lottery.She stood in the middle of the room, clapped twice, and dragged her eyes over everyone working at their desk."We have all received the memo..."A pause."We are all required to work overtime tonight."A murmur followed.I sat at my desk, facing her as she spoke, my hands fiddling with each other in my lap.She reached for the file from Garrick and flipped through it.She looked up and began to read out the roles of everyone for the project."Intern Aurora Sterling..." She dragged out my name in an intentionally demeaning tone.She dropped her eyes, blinked rapidly, and pouted."You won't mind running the errands, would you?""After all, you are just an intern," she finished before I could refuse.I stood up, not as dramatically as I wanted it to be.Whispers followed almost instantly."You want me to sit out the design process?"She nodded once."Yes..

AURORAHis promise hung in the air.I swallowed, trying to make myself feel a bit better. I blinked and looked down at the half-eaten ice cream in my hands.I pushed myself forward and dragged my eyes across his face."I wasn't aware that Mr. Vance has such good lines," I teased."I told you... Anything for you, Mrs. Vance."We both stayed still, our eyes glued to each other. His throat moved and his lips parted slightly.I pulled back before I could push through with the thoughts of kissing him."You think a little sweet treat is enough to make me give in?""No... But I'm hoping it will count for something."I dragged my tongue over the ice cream with a hidden smile on my face.He glanced at me."It's working."I rolled my eyes."Don't let your head swell."I couldn't help but wonder how I would have coped without him after the cruel betrayal I had been through.We sat side by side on a bench, watching the occasional movement outside."Did something happen at work today?"I turned my

AURORAMy hands were still wrapped around Alexander's waist, my head buried in his chest as I listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart.He wrapped his hand around me and stroked my hair gently.I felt too comfortable, and by the time my brain processed what was going on and I was ready to pull away, he was already holding me tighter."Stay."That one word from him was enough for me to abandon all of my restraints and hug him tighter.I sniffed the scent of his cologne, and it made the fury in my veins calm just a bit.I had no idea how long we stayed like that, but his voice broke through the euphoria in my brain."Mrs. Vance."His voice was smooth.I pulled back just enough to be able to catch his face.A breath hitched in my throat at how good he looked.I wanted to keep him all for myself even though I knew I couldn't."If you keep hugging me like this..."A pause.All of the hair on my skin stood."I am going to think you missed me."How could I be shameless with him?I rolle

AURORA I lowered myself into my seat, ignoring the stares and whispers from the people who believed me being called into the office was a death sentence. I crumpled up the piece of paper for the tenth time and tossed it into the trash. I couldn't concentrate, not after Catherine's obvious favoritism. I closed my eyes, trying to force the inspiration. "Miss... Aurora." Jason stopped right in front of my desk. I stood up and pressed my lips together. I didn't like the look on his face. It sent an eerie feeling down my back. I cleared my throat and forced a smile at him. "About the V Collective deal..." he trailed off, and dread ran down my spine. "The Chairwoman decided on Melody already, right?" "She had instructed that all of your design drafts be passed through Melody for approval." My fingers curled, digging into my palm. A shaky laugh escaped my lips. "She really wants me to give Melody everything, doesn't she?" "The bidding is next Friday... Miss Sterling would be the

CATHERINEI watched Aurora step out of the office.She stopped, her back tensed. For a minute she didn't move, and then she stormed off.I sighed, pressing my head into the headrest. Aurora had always been the sensible child.She never went against my word, and when she moved away to be with Julian, I was sure it was some kind of youthful tantrum and that she would come back.I took a deep breath, trying to still my stormy mind. She had always done what I asked without trying to refuse.How could she change so rapidly?What if I had pushed her too hard? What if it was all my fault she ended up like this?I shook off the thought. She would thank me for it later. All of this was for her, to make sure she ended up as a worthy successor of the Sterling Group.I reached for the picture frame on the table. My fingers brushed across the faces pressed together and the smiles."Theo, I am training her the way you would have wanted."The door clicked open, and I placed the frame on the table fa

AURORAI stepped into the office after Catherine.She walked to her table, lowered herself behind it, and began to sign papers. She didn't look up for a minute.I stood in front of the table, my feet shuffling and my fingers twisting as I nervously waited for her power game to be done.Finally, she raised her head, ran an inspecting gaze over my body before she closed her pen and set it down beside the file.She pulled off her glasses and hung them on the neckline of her dress."You're the heiress of the Sterling family. Why are you dressed like a working-class citizen?" she scrunched up her nose as if working-class citizens were criminals who didn't deserve to live.I ran my hand through the dress. It was not designer, but it was good enough to be worn.I sighed and lowered myself into the chair. "Because the matriarch of the family said I should act like an intern."She frowned."Mrs. Sterling," I called, and her frown deepened. "I know you didn't call me here to criticize my clothe
