In every fairytale story, fate always brings the prince charming and his pretty damsel together, ending with true love. But mine was the exact opposite. It was a dark and disgusting tale that would make the world turn its backs on me, even more so than already. It was a tale that couldn’t be retold to any innocent little girl. For, in my own story, I had drugged my prince charming with a love potion and I had no idea when or how soon it would it would wear off. Keagan had never been interested in me. Hell, I had no doubt he didn’t know that I existed. After all, who would be interested in a lowly omega maid like me, the weakest in rank? Definitely not my Alpha. Our love was fake, as plastic as it got and only I knew it. Living with the guilt of my actions wasn’t enough, right? When it all blew up in my face, My Alpha had to bring in a new woman who he claimed to be in love with. And I had to accept it. But a life as an Unloved Luna definitely beats one as a washed-up, raped, and abused Omega…right?
View MoreJessica’s P.O.VI jerked away from Keagan, my cheeks burning with a mix of embarrassment and desire. I plastered on a fake smile, trying to act as if nothing had happened between Keagan and me. When I snuck a glance at Keagan, he looked as cool as a cucumber and was already sparking a conversation with Patrick.“Dearie, I’ve been searching for you since we arrived.” Lydia reached us and she linked her arm through mine, tugging me away from Keagan.With a forced laugh, I followed her, leaving Keagan alone with Patrick. I glanced back at him, our eyes meeting for a brief electric moment. A silent promise of more to come passed between us before I turned away, my body still aching with longing.We rejoined the party, the noise, and laughter a jarring contrast to the electric tension I’d just experienced. My gaze swept the crowd, landing on Emma, who stood on a raised platform, clinking a glass of champagne in a failed attempt to grab everyone’s attention. The bitch. A sneer curled my lip
Jessica’s P.O.V“What’s your…who are you wearing?” Over the upbeat music spilling from the speakers, I almost knocked my drink to the ground as the tiny voice behind me startled me. “I don’t know who this is?”“Hi, birthday girl.” I smiled, ignoring the red stain on the gold color chlamys which was draped around my body and clipped on my shoulders. Beneath the chlamys was a pure white chiton that hugged my every curve. With the golden leaf tiara on my head and golden bracelets around my arms and ankles, it should be easy to realize who I was cosplaying but I guess Mina didn’t know.I began to lean to her height to touch her cat ears when she wrapped her hands around my wrists and started to drag me to the back of the house, away from the partying crowd. Shocked, I wanted to stop her, but seeing as she was enthusiastically tugging me away, I wordlessly went with her.When we got to the back, where the colorful lanterns weren’t hung, Mina stopped walking and slowly turned her face up to
Jessica’s P.O.V“Okay, that’s a nice candid.” I smiled at the picture on Ryder’s phone as he saved it to his icloud. “Delete that other one please, the lighting is horrible.”“Nope, you are beautiful in every picture.” Ryder complimented and bumped shoulders with me, a bright smile dancing in his light blue eyes. It’s been a week since I started working with Ryder and maybe, Elsa’s words had a little bit of truth to them. Ryder was like magic behind the cameras and the way we fit in every picture or video taken of us was insane. In all the time I had begun modeling, I’d never felt that sense of rightness with any other person.“Alright kiddies! Break time is over.” Elsa clapped her hands, popping out from behind me with a knowing grin on her face. Her brown hair was pulled into a tight bun, every strand of hair severely pulled away from her face. She had a nice style I appreciated. Possibly, I was starting to see Elsa as a friend. I’ve never had a friend and have been scared to make
Three days later.Jessica’s P.O.V “Bend a little more to the side, Sylvia! More curves, feel the music and let it sway you.”I grinned, relishing the adrenaline rush as I followed the photographer’s instructions. This was my element. The spotlight, the camera…it all melted away my memories even if it was just for a bit, leaving me suspended in a euphoric bubble. For these few hours, I was invincible, Sylvia, the model, not the unloved Luna.It was in these moments, bathed in the harsh and heated glow of the studio lights, that my problems seemed to evaporate. Then, he walked in.My breath caught, and a strange disconnect formed between my racing heart and the rest of me. It was like a record scratch in the middle of my favorite song. The studio seemed to dim into a solitary spotlight on him. He was tall, lithe with a casual elegance that screamed, ‘model’ even without the camera. Although I could only see the side of his face for now, I knew it was him. When he glanced in my direct
Jessica’s P.O.VThe next day was a repeat of yesterday’s chaos except this time, the first half was worse than before. Ian Caldwell touched my butt three times on set, messing up the two dialogue lines he had like a fucking kindergarten kid. I literally couldn’t wait until noon.Finally, lunch arrived and Elsa and I exchanged knowing glances, but as I grabbed my plate, examining its content with a critical eye, searching for any sign of fish, I found nothing. Disappointment washed over me and I snuck a peek at the idiot model’s plate, only to find it identical to mine. Also, it is free.Anger bubbled up within me. Had Keagan forgotten his promise? Or worse, had he intentionally sabotaged me? I shoved the tasteless food into my mouth, frustration almost making me bite my own tongue. As I handed my empty plate to a passing assistant, a scream pierced the air, making everyone go quiet.My head snapped up in piqued curiosity and I gasped as I saw Ian clutching his neck, eyes wide with ter
Jessica's P.O.VI rolled my eyes as I settled in the seat across from him, crossing my legs. I wasn’t exactly avoiding him but after my mental breakdown where I’d accused Emma of hurting my kids, I was a little ashamed, I guess. It was because of that, I decided to get some help and well, a session of therapy every two weeks should fix me at some point.My eyes snapped up when Keagan slowly rose, his movements deliberate as he circled the desk. He hitched a part of his body on the edge of the desk, hovering over me. My breath caught as his large hands framed my face, thumbs caressing my jawline before brushing lightly over my lips. I couldn’t stop myself from puckering them, giving him a light kiss on the pad of his thumb.“I’ve missed you baby girl.” he rumbled at the back of his throat, closing the distance between our lips until our breaths mingled with each other’s. “You have no idea.”My eyes drifted closed as his mouth descended on mine, in a hungry, possessive kiss that ignite
Jessica’s P.O.V“I am not kissing him.” I planted my hands on my hips, glaring at the director. “That’s not going to happen. Ever.”“And why exactly can’t you kiss me?” Ian Caldwell crossed his slim arms over his chest, a stupid smirk playing on his lips. “You’re scared you’re going to like it?”“No,” My eyes narrowed as I stepped closer to him. “I’m scared I’ll rip your tongue out of your mouth.”Everyone turned to look at me, surprise etched on their faces. Were my words too harsh? I didn't give a shit!Elsa tried to pull me to the side but I shrugged off her hand. It was time the director or Keagan fucking chose between the both of us. I am Sylvia fucking Reynolds dammit. Granted I was a bit distracted, getting sucked into the rabbit hole of my memories but added to his self-importance, Caldwell had become an absolute nuisance. He didn’t care that I’d just come out of a coma, nor did he give me well wishes like the others from the crew. Not that it mattered. I just wanted him off
Jessica’s P.O.V“So what do you think happened?” the soft attentive voice floated into my ears but I closed my eyes even tighter, lying on the couch with my arms tucked in. “You have to talk to me, Miss Reynolds. If you want me to help you.”Her last sentence finally snapped the last ends of my nerves and I jumped up from the couch, eyes blazing with rage. “Help me? Help me with what exactly. You don’t fucking believe me. Nobody does.”“Maybe if you try to explain it to me again, using your own words, maybe I’ll understand you better. And don’t forget that whatever you say here, never leaves this room.” My new therapist I’d gone to after what happened two weeks ago gave me a hopeful smile, gesturing at me to take a seat.Sucking in a deep breath, I twisted my fingers into a knot and then lowered myself back on the couch. My lips trembled as I tried to formulate the words but just like before, I found myself stuck in the memory.My heart clenched with an intense pain that had my lips p
Some weeks later.Keagan’s P.O.V“The fire was a setback, undoubtedly,” I began, my voice a low rumble that carried through the conference room. “But it was also a catalyst. We emerged from the ashes stronger and more focused. The renovations are complete and the machine is humming. Smoother than ever. We are operating at peak efficiency and the sky is not our limit at Halls enterprise.”Grunts and murmurs rippled through the board, press, and a few department heads, followed by wolf whistles and a thundering round of applause. Despite the drama of the past few weeks, no one blamed me. Not openly at least.“We will do whatever it takes to contain this,” One of the old dogs offered, rubbing a nervous hand over his balding head.I smirked internally. Containment.? As if. “Unnecessary,” I replied coldly, “the most critical fashion designs were salvaged and I am proud to announce we now have talented Victoria Hensfield working with our team.”Shock filled the faces of most of the people g
