LOGINEvelyn’s POV She was everywhere.In my mansion.In my company.In my office.Sitting on my shares.And now, she had taken over my phone too.Everywhere I looked, people were praising her like she was something rare, something special. They called her deserving. They called her brilliant.Deserving of what?I bit down hard on my lip, anger burning through me as security escorted me out of the company.My company.I shot the guard a cold look. “You’ll be the first to go when I become CEO.”I stepped into my car and slammed the door. “Start the car,” I snapped at the driver.I sank into the seat, gripping my phone as I scrolled through post after post about her.Each word fueled me and each praise made my chest tighten.My fingers moved fast across the screen as I typed:She doesn’t deserve to be a partner at Kane Tech. She’s a social climber. A gold digger and a fraud.I hit send.Another post followed immediately.She didn’t even handle the Valis project.I stared at the screen, my ja
Patra’s POV I couldn’t stop biting my fingernails. I was furious, restless, and worst of all, I had no answers to the questions spinning in my mind.What company did Rosa even have?How did she become a partner?Did the shareholders really vote her into that position?And now she had the audacity to treat me like I was nothing.Me.I sat at my desk, reduced to her PA, waiting on her, and running errands like a maid. This was not how I imagined my day would go, and by evening, I was already on the edge of losing my mind.As if that wasn’t enough, she had to flaunt him too. Holding Alex like he was some prize, and walking past me like I didn’t exist.Everyone knew Alex was a fuckboy. He wasn’t faithful. He wasn’t special. And yet she had somehow found a way to monopolise him.And a partner now?I still couldn’t believe it.The internal circular made my anger worse. Kane Tech was expanding internationally, and Rosa now held a major share.I watched her walk past me, my entire body tremb
Rosa’s POV If I had taken a picture of Patra’s face the moment she saw that plaque, I would frame it and stare at it on my worst days. I would laugh out loud every single time.She had assumed I was about to become a secretary. Worse, she hadn’t kept that assumption to herself. She had said it out loud and made a complete fool of herself.And now she was still standing there, looking exactly like one.“I… congratulations, Rosa,” she said, forcing a smile.I saw right through it. There was nothing genuine about Patra. Not anymore. I didn't know when I lost my friend, but I knew she was pretending to be happy for me.But I smiled anyway, like I didn’t notice. “Thanks, babe,” I said. “I didn’t expect it either.”Alex had already retreated to his office, leaving me to settle in with my temporary secretary.“When I saw the nameplate, I was shocked,” she said quickly. “How did this even happen, Rosa?”I sat down slowly, crossing my legs, letting the moment sink in.“A lot happened, Patra.
Patra’s POV I was still trying to make sense of Rosa’s sudden boldness when Alex’s PA stepped out of the executive corner.Rosa hadn’t been thrown out yet, and that alone irritated me. The only reasonable explanation was that she was inside facing a disciplinary panel.Served her right if you ask me.Maybe they were finally tired of how she carried herself like she belonged, all because she had slept her way into relevance. And this time, I doubted even Alex would be able to shield her. She had been gone for over a week. Who disappears like that and expects to keep their job?Definitely not me.Shirley stopped right in front of my desk. “The boss needs an office prepared in the executive corner,” she said.I frowned. “What’s going on?”She gave a small shrug. “I have no idea. There’ll be an internal circular later.”Of course. Shirley was a vault when it came to information. Getting anything out of her was a waste of time.“And Rosa?” I pressed, leaning forward. “Why is she there? Is
Rosa’s POV The reaction was immediate. Even the top-tier executives, who had barely spoken since the drama began, stirred as low murmurs spread across the room.I didn’t hesitate. I signed the document as though it would disappear if I wasted one more second staring at the figure instead of signing the document.Evelyn had thought she could embarrass me, but now she was the one flushing red, and muttering under her breath like it could undo what had just happened.When I was done, I straightened. Alex’s PA stepped beside me and took the document with quiet respect, the kind reserved for someone who now held real weight in the company. Alex extended his hand, and I placed mine in his as he led me to my new seat.The PA was already setting it up. A special seat…close to the CEO.“You’ll get your accessories later… and your new office,” Alex said.The moment we sat, hands shot up across the room. Everyone wanted answers. Everyone.Especially Evelyn.“I should be the one on that seat,” s
Rosa’s POV I stood there, biting the inside of my lip. If she wanted me to lose my composure in front of top executives, I wasn’t going to give her that satisfaction. I was honestly tired of the way she thought she could speak to me like I was her personal servant.Alex rose to his feet immediately. “What’s going on?” he demanded, angrily. A meeting was supposed to have started, but instead Evelyn had brought drama to the room again. Murmurs began to ripple across the room, low and restless. This was exactly the kind of attention I had hoped to avoid. I had expected that when I stood up to speak, I would be dropping ideas about moving the company, not arguing over a seat.And I didn't even understand how HR was seated in the middle tier. How did she get so much money to buy that kind of shares? Something wasn't adding up.Evelyn stood as well, her expression sharp with disdain. “You should tell your slut to know her place.”Slut.The word hit harder than I expected, sending a flash
Rosa’s POVThe ride to the ranch felt hauntingly familiar, even though it had been years and the roads were no longer the same. I remember clearly how I had boarded a bus back then, clutching my small bag, and never looking back. Now, I was heading back home, my heart oddly hopeful.I found myself
Rosa’s POVIt was Saturday, and like a ritual, I was on my way to Patra’s house. We had done this for as long as I could remember. But as I headed toward her apartment today, the familiar excitement of having a good time with Patra was gone. In its place was a restless knot in my chest. Too many
Rosa’s POVTonight, Alex decided to role-play as a masseur. When I told him my body ached and I desperately needed a massage, he wasted no time stepping into character. The moment he peeled his shirt off, I burst out laughing. “How are we supposed to focus on massaging if you’re going to distract
Rosa’s POVI grabbed my robe and pulled it tightly around me as I slid off the bed. “I need to answer this,” I said. Alex hesitated, his hands lingering in the air before he finally stepped back. I couldn’t take the call with him there—not when I had no idea what the caller was about to say. I clu
