No one stopped me.Finally, I reached Jaceâs office. The door was right in front of me. I didnât knock. I just pushed it open and walked in.âWhat kind of cleaner barges into her bossâs office without knocking?â Jace said. He looked up from the papers he was reviewing with Mina.Then he saw my face.His expression changed from shock to anger to disgust.âIââ I screamed. I ran toward him and grabbed the front of his shirt. âHow dare you treat me like trash! How dare you!ââThat uniform fits you well, Aria,â Jace said coldly. âYou could apply for a cleanerâs job here. It suits you.âI felt like heâd stabbed me in the chest.âHow dare you!â Tears started rolling down my face. Before I could stop myself, I slapped him hard across the face.The sound was so loud. Mina gasped.Jaceâs head turned from the force. A red mark appeared on
AriaâHow much do you want?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm despite the boiling anger inside me. I felt the urge to lash out and hurt her, but I knew I needed her.âTen thousand dollars.ââWhat!â I choked. âThat is daylight robbery. Thatâs too much.ââToo much?â She stood up again. Her chair scraped against the floor. âThen goodbye, Miss Aria.ââWait!â I grabbed her arm again. âFine. Fine! Ten thousand. Iâll transfer it now.ââGood,â she smiled. That smile made me want to break her teeth.My hands were shaking as I pulled out my phone. Ten thousand dollars. Almost everything I had saved.But I had no choice. None.âYour details,â I said. I forced a smile onto my face even though I wanted to scream.She slowly recited her bank details to me, savoring the moment as if she knew I was desperate.I typed in the numbers. My finger hovered over the confirm button.Ten thousand dollars. Gone. Just like that.Then I pressed it.âDone,â I muttered. My voice was hollow. âCheck your accoun
AriaI lay on the ground, breathing heavily, my entire body trembling.Everyone was staring and whispering.This was Jaceâs fault. All of it. If it wasnât because of him, that low-life girl would never dare to step on me like this.I picked up my bag with trembling hands. I got up. Dusted off my clothes.But I didnât leave. I couldnât leave. Not yet.I walked around the corner and waited. I hid behind a pillar and watched the entrance.I needed to get in. I needed to see him. Even if I had to dress as a cleaner to do it.I waited for almost an hour. My feet hurt from standing in heels, but I didnât move.Then I saw her.Mrs. Walker. The old cleaning lady. The one who cleaned Jaceâs office every day.I remembered her. Iâd insulted her before. Called her pathetic for being so old and still working as a cleaner.But right now, she was perfect.I quickly fixed my hair and walked up to her with my brightest smile.âMrs. Walker!â I called in the friendliest voice I could manage.She jumped.
AriaMy palms scraped against the rough pavement. Pain shot through my skin as I hit the ground hard. My knee was bleeding. My expensive red dressâonce flawlessâwas torn and smeared with dirt.I looked up at the tall buildingâJaceâs company. The place I used to walk into with my head held high.Now I was thrown out like garbage.People walking by stared at me. Some took out their phones and started recording.I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to disappear.But most of all, I wanted to destroy Jace for humiliating me like this.He would pay for this. One day, he would pay for everything.I stood up slowly. My whole body hurt. My hands were bleeding, and my dress was ruined.But I held my head high.I would come back. Tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that.I would make him take me back.No matter what it took.*I couldnât sleep that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it. Jaceâs face. Cold. Disgusted. Looking at me as if I were nothing.I couldnât sleep.
AriaThen he tossed the napkin into the trash can.My heart sank.âAre you treating me like trash?â I asked. My voice cracked. âJace, youâve never treated me like this before. Never. You loved me. You cared about my well-being. Why are you acting as if I disgust you?âIt hurt. It actually hurt. Even though I didnât really love Jace, even though this was all part of the plan, it still hurt to be treated like garbage.âYouâre trash, Aria,â he spat. He threw my phone on the floor. The screen cracked when it hit the ground. âGet out now, or Iâll force you out myself.ââYou asked me to bring evidence, and I did,â I muttered. My voice was getting louder and desperate. âSo why are you behaving like this toward me? Why? Do you have another girl youâre sleeping with? Is that why you want to get rid of me, even when I brought you the proof you asked for?âI moved back when I saw his eyes. They burned with intense hatred. Pure, raw hatred.What had I done to deserve that look? Was it just becaus
AriaâWhat do you mean by this?â I asked, clenching my teeth together. âAre you trying to humiliate me in front of this lowlife, Jace?âMy voice was loud and sharp. I wanted everyone in this building to know who I was. Jaceâs girlfriend. Not some random woman who could be thrown out.âWhat are you still waiting for?â Jace screamed at Mina. His face was red with anger. âTake her out. Now!âMina reached for my arm. Her fingers wrapped around my wrist, and she tried to drag me toward the door.No. No, I wouldnât let this happen.I knew that if I were forced to leave like this, I would never be able to come back. Everyone would laugh at me.All the people I once looked down on would mock me. My reputation would be destroyed.âLet me go, bitch!â I screamed. I pulled my hand free and slapped Mina hard across her face.The sound echoed in the office.âHow dare you touch me with those filthy hands of yours, mutt!âMina stumbled back. Her hand flew to her cheek. She stared at me with wide eyes
