### Aurora’s POV

The heavy double doors of the estate gates clicked shut behind us, cutting off the bright, oppressive lights of the penthouse driveway. Outside on the pavement, the air was surprisingly cool.

I stopped walking, the weight of my suitcase pulling at my arm. I turned to Lola. She was still panting slightly, her cheeks flushed with a mix of leftover adrenaline and sheer anger.

"Lola," I started, my voice softer now that the screaming was over. "Where are you going to go now? What a

    [ AURORA’S POV ]My feet barely felt the floor as I stepped back out into the quiet corridor. The moment the heavy mahogany doors clicked shut behind me, the cold, composed armor I had just worn shattered into a thousand pieces.I practically sprinted the few steps back to my workstation, rounded the corner into my private glass enclosure, and shut the door.What on earth did I just do? What is wrong with me?I collapsed against the sturdy wooden frame, my back sliding down until my knees nearly gave out beneath me. My lungs hitched as I pulled in a deep, ragged breath, my chest heaving against the tight fabric of my suit.I yelled at him. I literally pointed a finger at his face and yelled.My hands were trembling violently as I lifted them to my burning cheeks.Are you insane, Aurora? That man could have destroyed your career with a single sentence! He could have called security, well, if I had not already fired the guard, and had me thrown onto the pavement. How am I supposed to pa

    Aroura's PovThe air outside his office felt cold enough to freeze the sweat on my neck.My hands were shaking so violently I had to press both palms flat against the dark marble of my desk just to keep from collapsing into my chair. I drew in a ragged, shuddering breath and stared blindly at the sleek monitor in front of me.Three minutes behind schedule.The audacity of that man was a physical weight crushing my chest. He had watched me. He had stood up on his high perch, sipping his morning coffee while a grown man threatened to handcuff me, treating the entire ordeal like a pop quiz."God, I hate him," I whispered to the empty glass partitions, the words tasting like copper and ash on my tongue.I pulled a tissue from the box beside my keyboard and dabbed furiously at the hot tears threatening to spill over my lashes. I was not going to give him the satisfaction. If he wanted a machine, I would give him one so cold and efficient it would make his precious board members bleed.I op

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    At His Best

    [ AURORA’S POV ]The elevator chime echoed through the silent hallway of the 50th floor like a judge's gavel.I stepped out onto the polished marble, wiping a stray tear from my cheek with the back of my trembling hand. My jaw was set tight, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs as I smoothed down the front of my gray suit. I walked past the glass partitions toward my desk, trying to draw in a deep, steadying breath.Before my heels even reached my workstation, the sharp, authoritative ring of my desk phone shattered the quiet.I froze. The digital clock on my desktop monitor blinked in bright white numbers: 7:41 AM.Eleven minutes late.I swallowed the lump of burning rage in my throat, walked over, and picked up the heavy receiver. "Executive Suite, Aurora speaking.""My office. Now."Williams’ dark baritone was ice cold, sharp enough to cut through glass. The line went completely dead before I could even open my mouth to respond.I set the receiver down on its cradle w

    [ AURORA’S POV ]I barely slept a wink that night.I tossed and turned until six in the morning, my mind racing with pure nervous energy before finally pulling myself out of bed. I showered, threw on my crisp gray tailored suit, and ran out the door.I could not afford to be late for work. Williams Sterling had explicitly commanded me to be at my desk by seven-thirty sharp, and I was determined not to give him another reason to call me incompetent.I reached the gleaming glass entrance of Sterling Tower at precisely seven-twenty. Relief washed over me as I walked up the wide granite steps, pulling my sleek black employee badge out of my handbag to scan at the heavy glass turnstiles."Hold it right there."A thick, booming voice shattered the quiet morning lobby.A tall, broad-shouldered security guard in a dark blue uniform stepped directly into my path, blocking the turnstile. He was built like a brick wall, his face hardened into a scowl, a leather holster strapped tightly across hi

    [ AURORA’S POV ]The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur of focused, relentless efficiency.Every time my desk phone rang, I answered within two chimes. Every document Williams requested was delivered in digital format before he could even finish typing his request. I kept my head down, my posture flawless, and my voice completely neutral whenever Julian or Jasmine called down the line.By six o’clock, the heavy corporate traffic on the 50th floor had trickled down to a absolute standstill. The sun was setting over the city skyline, casting long, crimson shadows across the polished marble floor of the executive suite.The chime of my desk phone cut through the quiet room once more.I picked up the receiver instantly. "Executive Suite, Aurora speaking.""Miss Aurora," Julian’s calm, level voice sounded over the line. "Mr. Sterling is departing for the evening. You are cleared to wrap up your desk and head home.""Thank you, Julian," I replied smoothly. "Is there anything else requir

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    Class

    [ AURORA’S POV ]I stood in the center of the massive, empty atrium for three full minutes, my chest heaving as I forced the burning tears back into my eyes.I refused to let them fall. I refused to give Donald, the women in the pantry, or Williams Sterling the satisfaction of breaking me on my very first day.I walked back toward the executive assistant desk, setting the silver tray down on the dark marble counter. My hands were still trembling, but the raw shame was slowly hardening into a cold, fierce resolve. Donald had told me I was useless every single day for years. Williams Sterling had just called me incompetent after six hundred seconds on the job.If Williams wanted a meek, helpless girl who crumbled at the first harsh word, he was going to be bitterly disappointed.The quiet chime of my desk phone broke through the silence.I took a deep breath, smoothing down the front of my blazer, and picked up the receiver. "Executive Suite, this is Aurora.""You survived the first vol
