“Don’t test me,” I hiss before dragging Barbara into the pantry.

The heavy door creaks shut, cutting off the muffled clatter of the cafeteria. I don't let go of Barbara’s arm; I shove her back against the shelf.

She grunts. “Get your hands off me, you psychotic little social climber! You’re a fake friend.”

“You’re one to talk,” I say, leaving her arm.

“I don't know what happened to you. But this isn't you, Jade.”

“Really? Because I’m standing up for myself? This is the happiest I’ve ev

  • Rewrite My Fate   Chapter 24: The Hemsworth’s

    I’m starting to regret coming here. The smell of expensive lilies and perfume fills the air. Underneath it is the pleasant aroma of different dishes. Victoria sees us. She then wears a toothless smile that seems genuine. “Zayn, darling! You’re finally here,” she calls out. “Victoria,” Zayn acknowledges, his grip on my waist tightening, pulling me flush against his side. “I didn't realize you were on the guest list for a family dinner. I’m guessing you don't understand what family means.”Victoria steps forward. Her gaze rakes over my floral dress, a flash of pure jealousy crossing her face before she masks it with a smirk. “Grandma insisted I come. We have history. Unlike some people who were picked up off the street on their wedding day. And family isn't always blood-related. That’s why I brought someone along. After all, old friends should stick together, shouldn't they, Jade?”Barbara stands beside Victoria with a fake smile. She doesn't look at Zayn. Her focus is on me. She embr

  • Rewrite My Fate   Chapter 23: The Wife They Underestimated

    The room feels suffocating. I can feel the smirk on Victoria’s face without even looking at her. She’s won. She’s stripped me of my competence in front of the board. One of the board members clears his throat. “Ms. Bennett, we’re on a schedule. If the projections aren't here—” Ping. Every head turns toward the main monitor. A notification banner slides across the top: Incoming Encrypted File: Zenovar Group - Q3 Liabilities. My heart skips. I don't wait for permission. I swipe my tablet, syncing the file to the projector. Page twelve appears on the screen—not blank, but glowing with data so precise it makes Victoria’s previous slides look like a middle-school project. “Actually, Ms. Victoria,” I say, my voice suddenly cold and clear, the tremor in my hands vanishing as I see the Zenovar digital watermark at the bottom. “I didn't forget to print the page. I was simply waiting for the verified data to be released from the Zenovar server. The figures you were using? They’re outd

This is the happiest I’ve ever been. But you wouldn't know that because you were never my friend.” Barbara’s eyes turn dark. “That’s a lie. I’m the only one who cares for you.” I fold my arms, amused by the audacity. “If you care about me, you’ll stay out of my life.” I lower my voice, saying, “One more word about me in that office and I promise you’ll hate me more than you already do.” A vein bulges in her neck as anger radiates off her. “You think because you’re sharing a bed with a Hemsworth, you’re untouchable? I

  • Rewrite My Fate   Chapter 21: The Office Scandal

    If looks could kill, I’d be dead, buried, and haunting this building. Victoria’s trembling, her designer handbag clutched so tightly her knuckles are white.“Morning, Ms. Victoria.”She says nothing. Her eyes refuse to leave Zayn. “Have a great day, babe,” he says before turning to her. “Hello, Victoria. I hope you don't mind. I came to drop my wife off.”“Well,” she says, her voice tight, controlled in that way that means it’s about to snap. “This is… interesting.”Zayn’s broad frame blocks my view. I tilt my head slightly, trying to catch a glimpse of Victoria’s face. Her eyes flick to me. Her lips press into a thin line.“This is how you report to work now?” she asks, her gaze dragging over me. “Late. Distracted. Accompanied.”I shrug lightly. “I’m early.”Her eyes flash. “Are you talking—”“She’s not late,” Zayn says, his voice low and measured. “I’ll be dropping her off everyday. I’m not asking for you permission, though. Just letting you know.”The entire floor goes still. Zayn

  • Rewrite My Fate   Chapter 20: The Office

    The night feels long. I’m still awake, staring at the number on my wrist until it changes to 363. My mind keeps replaying the kiss, my thighs clenching from the heat still burning inside me. There’s something about Zayn that draws me in. I don’t know what it is, but I know it’s definitely not love. I hate him. I’m only enduring him until this is all over. His breath suddenly ghosts over my skin as if he’s in the room with me. I shiver, lifting my fingers to my lips, the sweetness and sting he left behind still haunting… still wanting more. We’re already breaking the rules before we’ve even begun. I’ll have to set boundaries tomorrow. I just need to sleep now. Tomorrow is going to be an even longer day. **** It’s morning. The air is cool. It does nothing to cool the fever still burning under my skin. I had barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the phantom weight of Zayn’s body pinning me to the mattress, the sharp sting of his teeth against my lips. Gosh! It was

  • Rewrite My Fate   Chapter 19: Rule Number Six

    “Enough!” Amanda barks. “Victoria is a Bennett! This girl is a nobody!” Zayn releases Victoria. Her eyes are wide with shock and disbelief. She stumbles back as she tries to hide her embarrassment. Zayn turns to his grandmother. His arm slides back around me, pulling me so close to him. “This girl,” he says, his voice dropping to a register that makes my knees weak, “is Jade Hemsworth. My wife.” Victoria speaks again. “She’s playing you, Zayn! Ask her about Daniel! Ask her about her wedding! She’s a whore looking for a paycheck!” I feel the shift in Zayn. He looks back at Victoria. “I know all about Daniel. I know all about the wedding.” The silence that follows is deafening. Victoria’s face goes white. Amanda has the same stoic expression that Zayn usually has. I can't tell what she’s thinking. But it’s clear she doesn't want me to marry her grandson. She’s glaring at me. “Arent you going to say something?” What should I say? Say the right thing. Don’t disappoint her.
