“See you tomorrow, Aurella.”Vincent waves his goodbye at me before leaving my penthouse. He told me he has other plans for tonight with his friends. And when he said friends, I immediately urged him to go. He knows that I badly want him to gather details for me. Especially when he showed me their chat group. Bryce left a message saying, ‘see you all later, morons.’.With that, Vincent is off to be my spy. He will report to me tomorrow, and I will be waiting.Just patiently waiting.As for me tonight, I also have some other plans. My plans for tonight can't be postponed nor cancelled. The fact that Bryce already did me dirty serves as my fuel to drive me scheming my clapback. I have to make sure that my efforts making my own original designs won't go to waste. I know my designs; I know that flaws that they cointain, and it would be beyond easy for me to make new sketches.Bryce probably had his laugh right now, but he must be ready for my turn.I bet he won't be able to laugh again aft

“I’m sorry about that. If only I knew that you were coming, I wouldn’t have let Conrad invite his friend over.”I can feel that Genevieve is sincerely sorry to me for the situation that I had to witness tonight, but something deep in my guts is telling me that she is also sorry to herself.“It’s fine. I don’t really mind, Genevieve. And why should you be sorry? This is your house; you can invite anyone you like. It’s somehow my fault for crashing here without an early notice.” I smile, “Well, I do really want to surprise you.”“And I was.” The delight and happiness in her voice is very audible.Another reason to praise myself for being such a smart mastermind for giving her a gift that I know will mean so much to her.It’s just that, I didn’t expect the devil to come crashing here too.“Have you had dinner? How about you stay for a while and eat with us? I would love to have you in our house.”Oh yeah, that is one of the many things that I have been wanting to hear tonight.Despite the

“Where do you think you’re going?”The sound of his voice is undefinable. I could no longer sense any other emotion in his voice. Only hatred and madness directly aimed at me.I have excused myself in the dining room earlier and I decided to head straight to the kitchen.The devil somehow decided too, that he will follow me.Probably anxious of what I am planning to do next. Realizing that my capabilities are beyond his perception of me.But behind all that, I am completely aware that he finds it difficult to swallow his own pill.I just want to get back at him. That’s all I have ever wanted.“And what do you think you’re doing?” I ask back. With the same amount of hatred and madness that he is pouring down on me.“You’ll call me dumb if I ask you you’re following me, right?” I added, taking a few more steps away from the dining room for the family not to hear.This is definitely not where the kitchen is.“I have a reason to follow you, Aurella.”Bryce stops walking when I stopped too.

After having a blast with the Eastons, I am now finally home.It's late in the evening, yet the whole city is still lively.Well, I guess it has always been like this in Chicago. And to be honest, I had never witnessed this city lacking life.Every day and every night, Chicago is such a beautiful city.When I got sick of looking through the glass window of my penthouse, I headed right into my bathroom to clean my whole body.I need to take care of myself very well. Not because I want to, but because I am a damn model. And being a model had given so much more than what my own family has to give me.Actually, they've given me a lot. But only pressure, stress, and anxiety in all level. And I hate the way that I have gotten so used to it until I became an adult.Taking care of myself is definitely my most favorite thing to do. Every morning and every night, I have this skincare routine that made me love myself more as time passed by.When my bedtime finally came, I tuck myself in bed with

The moment that I had finished giving Vincent his deserved payment, I immediately made him leave when someone mistakenly knocked on the door of my office. Saying, “Sorry, I thought it was the comfort room.”I am very confident that certain someone didn’t hear a thing coming from my office. But I am also very confident that that wasn’t just a certain someone.“What do you think, Ms. Aglauros?”I was instantly snapped out of my reverie when I heard one of the board of directors mention my name. I almost forgot that I am in a meeting, and we are doing this to discuss about the supposed to be launched brand new collections of jewelry.I give Mrs. Wyatt a confident look and I smiled at her for a second. “I think this is the perfect time that we collaborate with a celebrity.”To be honest, that idea came out from nowhere and I wasn’t thinking about it moments ago. But now that I shared that to everyone, I remembered that I have been wanting to collaborate with celebrities the day that this
