Marietta’s POV“This is a secret no one knows. Not even the media. I did my research,” Clara answered.I clenched my fist as I smashed them on the table. The files flew off while some stayed at the edge.Well, if anything, Michael succeeded in ruining my love life. And if not for Clara and Bella. He’d have ruined my career as well.This time around, I’m not only going to ruin him, but he’s going down.And every one of his bad deeds will be brought to life. “Make sure you reveal this to the internet with concrete evidence,” I commanded. Clara has always wanted to take revenge on Michael ever since she saw how hurt I was. And now, I’m giving her the go-ahead to do whatever she wants to do with him.I’m done playing the victim. I’ll never be one again.“Thanks, boss.” She answered, a smile tugging on her lips. Just then, my phone rang, and it was the receptionist. “Mr. Sterling is here to see you.” She reported. My face lit up as I heard the Sterlings coming back after breaking tie
Michael's POV Just as I heard those words, I took a few inches back.I blinked multiple times, trying to figure out if I heard him correctly. “Are you saying you orchestrated everything? For real?” I questioned as my gaze fell on one of the pens beside the tables.“I know what you are thinking. You want to kill me?” Donovan laughed out loud, pulling me to him. He knows I can't even if I want to. I need Donovan to navigate some things in the political world. And also in this tech business. I cannot do it alone. I need him by my side. “Kill me,” he challenges, placing his pocket knife in my hand. I yanked my hands off, but he was quick to grab them again, placing them toward his neck. “Kill me, Michael. You have to kill me.” He grunted.“No!” I shouted, casting the knife away as I moved backward. “Why are you doing this to me?” I trembled at his presence. My chest rose and fell abruptly as he came near me. His hands brushed my hair softly as he pulled me to himself. “I'm craz
Marietta’s POVToday was more than hectic. Sometimes it left me wondering why we have to come to the world to work so hard for everything.Money, fame, career, and even the least thing–Love.I crashed into bed after ordering the maids to get me just a cup of juice. Nothing feels better than being at home, relaxing in your space. Away from the world and everything that hurts in it.“Ma’am,” I heard a knock on the door, jolting me from my little slumber.“Come in,” I ordered. And as soon as I said the word, she walked in with a cup of juice and yes, with Bella.“Hey girlfriend,” Bella waved, a smile gracing her face.Judging from the way she was smiling, I knew something good had just happened. But I can’t even guess what that could be.“I’ll take my leave,” the maid said with a bow.“Sure, Mrs. Carter,” I answered, my gaze fixed on Bella.“So,” She started slowly, bursting into another round of laughter, leaving me nervous.My heart skipped a bit as I waited for the good news. At thi
Marietta’s POVThe wedding day we anticpated came faster than expected.I had made sure to look my best as I’ve ordered from the most prestigious fashion company in America.“Wow, you look–stunninng,” The best man, Noah, complimented as I walked out in style, while waiting on my best friend, Bella.I shrugged with a smile plastered to my face. “Let’s just say Oscar de la Renta never fails?” We both laughed as we got carried away with our little chats. What I never knew was that Aiden was watching.Raising my head to meet his eyes, I fell short of what to say. I held the hem of my garment tightly as I stepped a bit forward to speak.But it was too late.He had only come to call Noah to accompany Lawrence. Noah, on the other hand, had only come to the ladies to hasten us. “I’ll see you later,” Noah said, placing a kiss on my hand, one that didn’t even bother Aiden.Not even one bit. “This doesn’t make any bit of sense,” I bit my lips, holding back my tears so as not to ruin my makeu
Marietta’s POVDays flew like birds, and soon I was back on my feet again. And yes, not without the help of Clara and, of course, my amiable friend, Bella.If you ask me if I did think of Aiden…yes. But I had to put my life first. I had to also put the past life behind me, and gaze on the future. “What do you think? Do you think you can take up the role?” Clara asked. I took the tablet from her, stood on my feet, and performed well. “Great!” Clara smiled, clapping at intervals. I felt so proud of myself as I smiled alongside. Just then a call came in, and she asked that she take it. My office was back to the way it was before. Some old employees also came back, letting me know they had only worked for me because they loved me. Some go as far as telling me that they had waited for my return. I remember telling Bella I was going to sell the company and probably start selling things on the other side of the world. But nah. It seems fate has other plans for me. “Boss,” Clara
