Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret YOUR WIN IS MINE
TRISTANI was having a pretty good morning, reminiscing about how the previous day had gone, spent in Laura’s company.When the lawsuit from the influencer got to my notice. Some bigshot influencer in New York with massive influence within the state and outside it, was making a scene and a ridiculous claim to have purchased a counterfeit jean outfit from one of our fashion retail brands. It was the situation I needed Laura’s help with containing. It was just a space of a few hours, and I couldn't believe how much it had escalated.Now the influencer had filed a lawsuit against us, demanding to be compensated for breach and counterfeited theft of their money. It was agitating because I was supposed to spend today going over the preparations for the milan shoot. I couldn't deny my excitement of a trip with Laura, where I would have her with me at all times for a couple of days. I would get to look at her face and catch all the expressions I often reminisced about.I was just managing

LAURAThe ride back to my car was loud and quiet at the same time. My choice had been very, very intentional. I did it for no one but myself. One, I wanted to go with Tristan instead, deep in my heart—not that Harlan couldn't get me there too. Two, I wanted to get Tristan far away from my son. I didn't even want him getting a glimpse of Eli, or getting within an inch of him. I wanted him as far away as possible. It was what was best for us all. Or was it simply a lie I told myself to feel better? To feel in control? To punish him? I held on tightly to Tristan’s waist as he sped across highways, not saying a word to me, his shoulders tight with knots the entire time. The wind roared in my ears, my hair tumbling around in my face. So I just focused on squeezing my eyes shut until the motorbike eventually groaned to a stop and I heard Tristan curse under his breath. My eyes flew open, and to my horror, my car was just about to be towed. “No, wait—stop!” I jumped off the bike and

Thankfully, we were at Eli’s kindergarten in less than ten minutes. But the speed at which Tristan had driven this thing…it left my eyes watery, and my legs shaky, feeling like jelly and not very cooperative. I practically limped up to Eli’s homeroom, my manners overridden by my worry for my son—without a word of ‘thank you’ to Ren. I realized this as soon as I arrived at the door of Eli’s homeroom. But I pushed the door in anyway. I would have plenty more opportunities to thank him in the future. That is if we kept working together. Eli’s homeroom teacher was nowhere to be found. Just a room full of kids Eli's age wailing and running around, some glued and strapped to their seats, watching others quietly. There was a young woman in the room, trying to get some of the more active kids to stay quiet. She was not Eli’s homeroom teacher. “Excuse me? Where’s my son, please?” Or did I stumble into the wrong room in my agitation?The woman looked up and immediately hurried over to me.

LAURAControl slipped from my fingers and I kept trading words with my mother, lost in the throes of betrayal and the broken relationship I shared with my family. I wasn't sure how long it was, until Mara burst into the room and a look of shock crossed her face upon seeing my mother. “Mrs. Hayes…I didn't think you were—”“Shut up, Mara.” My mother scoffed as she ran a haughty gaze down my shocked best friend’s face and body. “No one asked you to speak.” She never approved of Mara, and it was because of how much my sweet best friend fought to protect my interests. I turned to Mara with a tight, pacifying smile. “Who let her into my company?” “I can take you to them,” my mother snapped from behind me, “and you can punish them later, for all I care. But you would have to give me the money I'm here for before anything else.” I'd just opened my mouth to retort when a sharp ringtone cut across the room. I recognized it as mine and quickly dipped my hand into the jacket pocket, pulling

LAURA“You refuse to listen to me, so I've come to make you listen to me.”My jaw dropped and my eyes stung. “What do you mean? You can't barge into my workplace without informing me!” Her eyes flashed but her expression remained calm. “Did you not get my texts? Your father’s health is deteriorating, Laura. You can't become the bad, vengeful child all of a sudden, when he needs you the most.”I scoffed, shaking my head. “You mean, he needs my money? As much as you do?” She shrugged, and it was so nonchalant it pierced a hole through my heart once again. “Same difference.”I just opened my mouth to give her a sharp retort when a firm knock sounded on the door. I rolled my eyes and heaved a sigh of exasperation. Great. Mara had started sending the interviewees already, and my mother who showed up unexpectedly, still sat there stubbornly, waiting for me to tell her what to do. “Are you going to give me the room or what?” I snapped. “I have an interview schedule for right now.” She
Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret A REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE
LAURAMondays still remain at the top of my list of dreaded days of the year. Every time I opened my eyes and it was Monday, I wondered why Sundays were not any longer than the rest of the days, and imminently, I'm reminded of what awaits me. Work. Work. Work. Don’t get me wrong. I tried to enjoy the experience as much as I prayed and hoped for it. But on some days, it's just…hard. Especially after you spent the weekend at the engagement party of the man who fucked you five years ago and ruined your life in the best/worst way possible. You don't just scramble out of bed like you have all the energy in the world, and go to make some dresses and supervise them being made. It's much a slower, harder process. I really didn't feel like getting out of bed today. Neither did I have the energy for it. But I had to force myself because there would be innocent individuals waiting to be interviewed by me today. And they didn't deserve to pay for someone else’s effect on me, by getting stoo

LAURA“I didn't do it.”I stared desperately from one face to another, hoping that someone in this room would believe me.But these people didn't know me, so why would they believe me?They didn't know me like Tristan did…yet he sat there, staring at me like I was a complete stranger.“I really did

LAURA“Laura Hayes, you'll be working directly under me for the year.”The hall fell silent, and heads turned in my direction. I didn't move a muscle. I still stared in shock at the man that made me feel things I'd never felt before, last night.Tristan Pierce. CEO.What the hell? Didn't he say he

LAURAI couldn't speak for a good minute. I just stared at him. Those midnight blue eyes were even more captivating from up close. His broad shoulders and sharp jaw line were more overwhelming and intimidating than I had imagined. His hair sat very charming and distractingly sexy on his head in lo
