Rosa's POV.

“Can you see everything?” I asked Quinn over the microsized airpod in my ear and she sighed.

“I can, told you the mini cameras would work” She told me in such a boastful way and I smiled.

Looking around, I could pick out the elites and I fidgeted a bit.

“Are you sure I won't get caught?” I asked Quinn, and I heard her scoff.

“This is Rose speaking in you, shut her up and bring out Rosaura” She commanded and I smiled, always the girl to cheer me up.

“Hello, Mi lady” I heard someone say behind me and turned to see a young man in a suit, recognizing him from the list of invitees Quinn gave me earlier. I knew he was the CEO of Maxwell's Corps, which he inherited from his father.

“Good evening, Mr Enzo maxwell” I replied, giving a little curtsy.

“You know me?” He asked and I nodded with a smile.

“How wouldn't I know the outstandingly handsome CEO of Maxwell corps?” I asked and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly at the proud look on his face.

Men would always be men.

“Of course, I am indeed popular, may I say miss…” He paused, and I understood immediately.

“Miss Rosaura, Rosaura Morales”

“May I see Miss Rosaura that you are indeed a beautiful lady, care for a dance?” He asked and could hear Quinn burst out laughing.

“What?” I asked from the side of my mouth as to not sound crazy and she replied.

“He doesn't know who he just came in contact with” I rolled my eyes, and looked back at Enzo, who had his arm outstretched.

“As much as I love to dance with you, I plead to disagree” He dropped his arm immediately and smiled, trying to cover his surprise.

“Oh, I guess next time then” He said, walking away.

Quinn started laughing again and I shushed her.

“He seems like a nice man”

“There are no nice men in this world, only the ones who need you, and the ones who use you” I told her and she remained silent afterwards.

I looked around for the one person I came to see, Gary, but couldn't make out any sight of him.

“Quinn, Are you positive that he's coming today?” I asked her and she sighed.

“I am positive, at least, maybe”

“Shit” I cursed Slightly, only to see a group of men at the corner, drinking.

I moved closer, listening to their conversation, the smallest information can be helpful anyway.

“I know you would make a great CEO of Beaumont estates, Mr Andres” I heard one of them say and my eyes widened.

Gary is not the CEO?

“What do you think is the major criteria for a CEO of a company?” the supposed Andres asked, and the rest laughed over it.

“It's pretty simple, of course, He has to be the biological son, I don't think any other thing matters” One amongst them answered and I nearly scowled.

What if the son is as useless as Gary?

“I beg to differ, sir, I believe that one of the major criteria for a CEO of a company should be a strategic visionary who would be able to make timely decisions and keep up a resilient culture” I answered and they all turned to me.

“I don't see why a woman would be bold enough to answer a question meant for men” The one I interrupted said, and I shrugged.

“If the woman's view is way more on point than the man's own, I don't see why not” I replied and they all chuckled again.

“A feisty one, you are, My name is Andres.” The latter introduced, stretching forth his arms.

“Rosaura Morales, a pleasure to make your acquaintance” I took his palm for a shake, and felt a spark immediately.

Redrawing, I smiled a little.

What was that?

“You sure are an undefyingly smart lady” He said.

“Smart enough to get a job at your company?” I asked slyly and he laughed.

“Smart enough to be my wife” He winked and I frowned.

“Are you trying to flirt with me, Mr Andres?" I asked, and he shrugged.

“Maybe, maybe not, figure it out for yourself” He said, winking again, and I felt my heart skip a beat.

What the hell is wrong with this stupid thing in my chest?

“Ignore him, I am Evans Underwood, If you are willing to apply then you could through the company's email, beaumontestates@g***l.com” One of the men said, and I acknowledged him with a small smile.

“Thank you, Nice to meet you again, Mr Andres, Mr Evans, I shall take my leave.” I curtsied a bit, turning to take my leave.

“Nice to meet you too, rosaura morales” Andres replied.

The way he said my name stilled me and I paused for 0.25 seconds before leaving.

“Did you get all that?” I asked Quinn, once outside.

“Yes, if gary is not the CEO, it means that Mr Beaumont has other children”

Could it be that Andres was his child?

No, a brother to Gary wouldn't have been so nice?

“The email?”

“I'm working on it, I could get you in let's say…Three days?” She said and I frowned.

“Make that a day” I mumbled and she scoffed.

“I am not your personal sidekick, Rosaura!” She snapped at me, and I had to squint my eyes due to her loud voice.

“Fine fine, do what you want” I sneered at her, and she scoffed again.

“I'll get you the job, by tomorrow, you're welcome” The bud disconnected afterwards and I rolled my eyes.

“Again with the anger issues” I muttered, removing the tiny piece from my ear, and placing it in my pocket”

I waited for a taxi to go by, and when it did, I hailed it and entered, my mind reminiscing through the past as I stared at the mansion as we passed.

Gary Beaumont ruined my life, Six years ago, and now, I'll ruin his.

    Rosa's Pov.I stepped out of the bathroom that early morning only to hear the beeping from my phone.Picking it up, my eyes widened on seeing the message that popped up.I have been accepted as a senior agent. Gawd, I love Quinn so much.I entered X immediately and sent her a DM, saying ‘thank you’ with a lot of hearts, and she replied almost immediately with a ‘you're welcome’.I smiled, guess she wasn't mad anymore.Entering my closet, I removed a well-fitted blazer, a pencil skirt, and a long-sleeved T-shirt.Putting it up, I sprayed on my perfume happily, only to hear another beeping.Carrying the phone, I frowned on seeing the new message.I'll be under a real estate broker, Mr. Andres.Well, I guess he isn't a Beaumont, just an opportune fellow.A smile appeared on my lips, and I wiped it off immediately.Why am I even happy?I can't let stupid feelings get in the way of what I'm trying to achieve.I sighed, picking up my satchel, which I had arranged earlier with things I would

    Andres's Pov.I didn't have it in mind to attend the gathering, but Dad said it was good to show my face. I find it funny how he coaxes me, yet couldn't care less about my brother, Gary, but when I saw her, dressed prettily in her red cocktail dress, I just knew I had to have her.But what if she's like the others?Pretty, but lacking a lot upstairs, I had to be scared. I didn't want to get tangled with a beautiful woman with no brains.However, the way she answered my question so smartly, I couldn't help but appear dazzled.“Don't tell me you like her,” I heard Evans groan beside me, and I rolled my eyes.“And if I do?” I asked, and he facepalmed.“You? Andres Beaumont? Don't make me laugh,” He chuckled softly, and I smiled a little.Evans was Gary's PA, but we had been friends since childhood, even before he got that job in our company.“I heard Mr Beaumont saying that you would be the new CEO,” He started, and I sighed.“I told him I wanted it to be Gary; he is way more fit for tha

    Rosa's POVPain was the first thing I felt when I regained consciousness. It crawled through my body like liquid fire.My eyelids fluttered open, but the world was nothing but blinding white light.The only thing that seemed oddly familiar was the sharp scent of antiseptic filling the air.For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was until the memories came rushing back.Gary. The shove. The warm liquid slides down my legs.Was I dead already? Had I finally died from starvation… or the pain in my stomach? Was this some strange waiting room between life and whatever came next?My heart jerked violently in my chest, and I gasped, trying to sit up, but a sharp pain spread through my stomach, forcing a cry from my lips.“Easy,” a voice said quickly, and a man in a white coat stepped into my blurry vision.“Don’t move too much. You’re still recovering.”Recovering?My mind struggled to catch up.“Where… am I?” My voice came out hoarse.“The hospital,” the doctor replied.Hospital? I blink

    Rosa’s POVTwo weeks. That was how long it took for my life to completely fall apart.Two weeks since I was expelled.Two weeks since my aunt slammed the door in my face.Two weeks since Gary Beaumont destroyed everything I had, and I began living off the streets, barely living.My body was growing weaker each day; even standing felt like a battle. I was barely feeding.My stomach cramped painfully as I walked down the sidewalk, clutching the thin jacket wrapped around my body even though it did nothing to prevent the cold.My reflection in a shop window made me pause. I barely recognized the girl staring back at me. My hair was tangled, my cheeks had hollowed, and dark circles bruised the skin under my eyes.I looked nothing like Rosa Caldwell, the school's brilliant nerd. Nothing like the girl from weeks back.I looked away as fast as I could, then continued my walk.I was starving, dying slowly, and there was only one person who had the money that could help me survive.Gary.My bo

    Rosa’s POVThe video was playing right there on the large screen in front of the disciplinary board.The room was silent except for the muffled sounds from the video—sounds that made my cheeks and stomach twist with shame.Teachers, administrators, people who had watched me walk these hallways for years, people who had graded my papers, praised my assignments, and smiled at me in the corridors, were now staring at me like I was something filthy.Something shameful and disgusting“Turn it off,” I whispered.No one moved.My hands trembled as I clutched the strap of my bag. “Please…” My voice cracked. “Please turn it off.”Finally, the principal pressed a button on the remote, and the screen went black.The principal folded his hands on the desk and sighed. “Rosa Caldwell,” he called slowly.I stepped forward, trembling.“Do you understand why you have been brought here today?”I couldn't answer even though I knew.
