SEREIA

My work days always felt repetitive and today was not going to be different, I laid in bed staring at the ceiling as I contemplated if this was all worth it.

The stress from work, the insults and most of all the pay that wasn’t even enough. I had woken up before my alarm,which was nothing new as it had been happening a lot lately, and for the past ten minutes I’ve been staring at my ceiling, thinking.

My train of thought was interrupted by my alarm finally ringing and I took that as the

  • The Sister He Never Chose    Chapter 125

    VALERIANI opened my eyes immediately the clock reached 5:47, I didn’t even need to check it because I already knew. My body woke up at that exact time whether I liked it or not. It was a habit I had formed years ago and now I can’t seem to stop.I sat up from my bed and swung my feet onto my cold bed before trudging into my bathroom.The bathroom remained the same, the same way I always left it. Toothbrush holder bristles facing left, towels folded into thirds and a few other things. I reached for my toothbrush and began brushing and I brushed my teeth for exactly two minutes 11 seconds not a second more or less.I rinsed my mouth when I was done and splashed water on my face before trying myself and then I walked to my closet which was organized by color.Greys, blacks and whites. I pulled put out a charcoal suit, a white shirt and a dark tie.I dressed in front of the mirror. Adjusted my collar. Checked my cuffs. Everything was in place. Everything was precise.The man staring b

    SEREIAI stared at the ceiling for what felt like an eternity after reading the news. The numbers were still etched in my mind. The stock prices. The headlines. The comments. All of it. Valerian’s company was suffering because of me. Because of what people said I did. Because of a lie that just would not go away.I could not stay here. The thought crept in quietly like a whisper I did not want to hear. I tried to push it but it lingered. I sat up and rubbed my face, my eyes were swollen, my head and chest felt hollow.I needed to find Valerian. I needed to explain things to him to make this right. I stood up walked to the door unlocked it and stepped into the hallway.The stairs felt longer than usual. Each step felt heavier than the last. I could hear voices downstairs. Aurora’s tone, Annabelle’s sweet response, the clinking of coffee cups and the shuffle of feet.I reached the bottom of the stairs and turned the corner. Aurora saw me first and her face immediately changed, the cold

    SEREIAI walked…I didn’t know where I was going neither did I care, the only thing I knew was that I couldn’t remain here,And so I trudged the hallway stretched ahead of me, the carpets muffled my footsteps while the light buzzed over head.I walked past different rooms, past the elevators and past the ice machine that kept humming in the quiet. My face was wet with tears, my hands were shaking and my chest felt like someone was sitting on it. Everytime, every single time I thought things might be okay, something happened.I pushed through the door at the end of the hall entering into the cold echoing stairwell. I lowered myself and sat at top step pulling my knees to my chest before letting myself fall apart.I cried in between my knees, thinking of everything that happened this last few hours and tho I could hear my phone buzzing repeatedly I couldn’t even get myself to look at it. My phone buzzed again. Then again and again.I eventually got tired of the countless buzzing and

    SEREIAThe terrace was still in chaos, people were shouting, phones were flashing and even tho a lot of people surrounded me I was alone. Selena remained on the floor with her hand clutches to her stomach while she wailed. I stood frozen, hands raised, heart pounding as I stared at her.Then Lucas lunged at me."You bitch!" He yelled, his face was red and his eyes were wide and almost crazed. Two men grabbed his arms preventing him from hitting me but he eventually fought them off. "I'll ruin you! Do you hear me? I'll ruin your miserable life! I'll make sure everyone knows what you are!" He threatened and by now people were more intrigued, staring with dirty eyes and murmuring over the chaos."Someone call the police!""Get her away from here!""She pushed a pregnant woman!"I heard a number of people say and I didn’t even know who was who. Annabelle suddenly stepped forward, her face was pale but her eyes were hardened and cold. "I always knew you were trash. First you tried to ki

    SEREIAIt was beginning to look like no one was going to break the tie, not until a woman stood up.She had kind eyes that seemed to glisten, dark hair and an equally dark dress.It was Ariana.She walked forward slowly like she had all the time in the world, her familiar face was rid of any smile with only a stern business like look in place. “O my God do you know what that is?” Sarah whisper yelled into my ear in glee. “Yes I do.” I nodded. “She helped me escape Annabelle earlier.” I added and Sarah shook her head frantically. "No no not that, she is Ariana Vance." Sarah's voice was urgent. "She owns half the tech patents in Europe. She's worth more than a lot of people in this room combined…except Valerian and a few others of course." Sarah informed me and I gasped at the nice woman I had met earlier.She walked into the podium before grabbing a piece of paper bad writing something on it before dropping it in the box and then she turned around scanned the room as her eyes found

    SEREIAIt’s been hours since Annabelle left and by now we were already at the award ceremony, surrounded by crystal chandeliers, white flowers and tables filled in silk. I sat beside Valerian, enjoying the feel of his hands on my thighs under the table as I pretended I wasn’t nervous.Sarah sat at my other side, talking to some of the other workers about random things I didn’t follow and even tho words like contracts and deadlines flew by. I still couldn’t decipher what they were talking about. I didn’t know me lack of concentration was because of the chill air or because of the fact that this was the last night here and tomorrow we were going back home.I would be back to Aurora’s endless wickedness and Annabelle’s ugly nature will double. "Hey." Sarah nudged me, pulling me out of my train of thoughts. "You okay? You're quiet." She asked and I nodded. “I’m ok, just tired." I lied and she studied me for a moment."You've been tired all week." She finally said and I shrugged mainly

    SEREIA The word liability rung repeatedly in my head as I watched Sarah who was waiting at the door of Valerian’s office.I had stood up from my desk and stood in front of his door, watching him lean back in his chair, looking calm like his staff didn’t just call a meeting. His eyes which were co

    SEREIAThe first thing I registered as soon as I woke up was heat, it was a deep radiating warmth and it was accompanied with a steady, rhythmic thump against my cheek.My eyes fluttered open, my breath hitching immediately I noticed that I was on Valerian’s chest— his arm slung possessively around

I sat in the back clenching my fists in my lap as the word echoed in my head.Liability.I stared at the window till the city began to blur because of the tears clouding my eyes.
