Chapter 30 (Part 1)

“She’s so secretive, and sometimes it makes me wonder how those two suddenly found their way to each other and became a couple.”This woman beside me is now spilling too much information that I’m unaware of if I’m even allowed to know it.I haven’t even moved past the fact that Bryce Tryst has a girlfriend, and this woman here decided to blabber on and on.“Their relationship is so private that they can’t be seen together in public. My friend said she feels like Bryce is hiding her, but somehow, she was able to shrug it out of her system. He showers her lavish gifts though.”It doesn’t feel like she’s here with me to buy an engagement ring anymore. A little bit of this TMI chat, I will start felling like Bryce hired her to pester me today.But why would he? The hell I care if he has a girlfriend.“I mean, what else is there to need, right? If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t even feel like my boyfriend is hiding me. I will feel like I’m single instead, and I’m undeniably rich. How good

Chapter 30 (Part 2)

“What?!”As much as I want to, I can't contain the sudden attack of surprise within me.After assisting the girls earlier, I went straight to my office to call my friends. And now, we're all face timing each other.“Yes, Aurella! You heard me right. Now, what are we going to do?”It must've been God's plan to urge me to call my girls. If I didn't, I wouldn't know that Heide is now out of prison.“How is that possible? I mean, wasn't she sentenced for like a decade?”I'm not certain how long she's supposed to be in prison, but I didn't expect her to be out this early. She must've used a huge amount of money to be out.God. That woman and the power she holds.“I don't know anything about it too. But yeah, it's like she was sentenced for a decade or more.” Liv's voice is quiet and calm, but I can still sense that we all share the feeling of being afraid.There's no reason for us to be afraid. After all, Heide is our friend for such a long time. But after what she's done to Conrad, I don'

Chapter 31 (Part 1)

"What are you talking about, Harvey? He can't do that. He doesn't have the authority."Harvey starts to massage his forehead as he rest his head on the couch. It's clear that he's already stressed enough about it, yet I'm still adding more to it. Making it worse for him.Well, how the hell should I react? He can't expect me to be happy regarding this shitty information."That's what I thought too, but I guess the whole family decided to give him that authority since his one and only son is finally back."What? Uncle Naveen's son is back?Oh hell, what is happening?"So, it's going to be a dinner dedicated for his son? Welcoming him? Is that it?"The audacity. Uncle Naveen couldn't be more shameless. He's a thick face, and I don't understand why the whole family would just let him have things his way.And now, I'm certain that it's going to be hell for all of us because his son will definitely add more fuel to the fire.His son is an exact carbon copy of him. We used to get along with h

“Call me when you can, okay? Update me about the family dinner.”I swear to God, I want to roll my eyes every time I say ‘family dinner’.“Sure. But maybe I'll be in Vegas next week. So... let's update each other, I guess?”Harvey laughs after saying his goodbye as he enters his car. I wave my hand at him, and then I also climb into my car after I watched his disappear.We had a long conversation that it took us a long time to finally get to the part where goodbyes are said. If I didn't mention that I have to drive my ass all the way to Heide’s place, I don't think he'll even think of going home.But I'm glad that he will chase the love of his life.The woman surely doesn't want to be found, but Harvey is doing everything to find her. And I doubt that he won't find her since Harvey does have a lot of connections to deal with situations like this.Well, I have nothing left to say. But to wish them both good luck.Dear Destiny, kindly give my brother and my cousins their deserved happy

Chapter 32 (Part 1)

“So, how cruel is life to you lately?” Heide pours me a glass of champagne that my head tells me to decline. But I've had enough declining, so I'm taking this one.Just this one.“I would say about forty percent. I mean, you know. Same old shit. I disappeared for five years, and now that I have come back, nothing much has really changed. I just feel stronger now.” She hands me the tulip glass and I accept it with my gut bubbling in excitement.I really missed drinking liquor.“You're still loaded with work?” She takes a sip of her champagne.I nod, “Yeah.”“And there's still a problem with your Uncle Naveen?”“Uh-huh.”“Still no long-time lover?”“Yes, positive. Still no long-time lover.”I can see that she's having trouble believing me, but at the same time I know that she trusts me. I don't know how to put in words, but that's how she looks right now with her frowning and with her eyes squinting at me.“Why is it so hard for you to find a lover?”I know that she's seriously asking m

Chapter 32 (Part 2)

"Good morning, Kevin. Why are you grinning like that?"Kevin opens the door for me as we both enter my office.Last night was somehow special to me, but it definitely had to end. I have work for the next day, and so I went home to get some sleep.Hell, I only had a few hours of sleep. I made it in my penthouse around 2 o'clock in the morning."You could never guess." The grin on Kevin's face is now matched with his voice that sounds like he's about to drop a bomb before me.Usually, when he's like this, I always end up getting good news that makes me day. So, I don't feel nervous about it because I need something to motivate me do loads of work.But can't he just tell me?"Of course, I could never guess. But can you just spill the beans for me?" I sit on my swivel chair, and he settles himself on the chair in front of my table.He's still grinning like an idiot."You haven't checked your phone yet, didn't you?" Oh, now he's taunting me."To be honest with you, I didn't have the time t

Chapter 33 (Part 1)

Inside my head, I can hear a weak voice trying its best to be heard. It's telling me, ‘Girl, you are up to no good. It's a bad idea!’But whatever shit it’ll try to tell me, I know that I won’t listen, and I will no longer be convinced by something so little that I know wouldn’t ruin my career.This is not a good time to lay back and relax.Instead, this is the right time to show everyone that in an industry dominated by power-hungry men, the only worthy one for the top spot is a woman.I ignore the doubts starting to creep behind my mind. I want to celebrate, and that’s the only thing I want to be done tonight.Working for such a long time is the most draining shit that anyone can endure. Celebrating for once and a while for a little work done is the kind of reward that I want to give myself. Starting this day, it’s going to be like that. I realized that I’m no different from the people that don’t get tired from scrutinizing every move that I make.I’m also cruel to myself, and I must

Chapter 33 (Part 2)

"Can you stay with me until midnight?"With disbelief reigning all over my body, I stare at Lucas and watch him shrug off the fact that he just kissed me.He shrugged it off as if it meant nothing to me."Come sit here with me." His hand gently pulls me by my wrist, and he guides me to a table where no one else is occupying.All I can see are empty bottles of whiskey and some cigarettes that are halfway finished."You smoke now?" It's not a surprise to me anymore since some of his old friends before had told me about his desire to use cigarettes as his stress reliever. But I still can't bring myself not to ask.He sits down as he pulls me to sit beside him. "I'm trying to distract myself from reality these days. But unfortunately, I really can't. I can't even finish a stick."Wow. Trying to distract himself from reality? How heavy is his baggage? And how is he not capable of finishing a stick? I suppose two half finished sticks can be counted as one, right?"Alright, if you say so." I'

Chapter 34 (Part 1)

“There you are! I’ve been looking for you. What took you so long?”Both Dahna and I turn to the man that took both of our attention.And my heart almost jumped out of its cage when my eyes center on Isequel.He quickly kisses Dahna’s temple, and girlie here softly giggles as I watch her mood switch from being friendly to being lovey dovey.Are my eyes deceiving me right now?Dahna? And Isequel? They’re a thing?So… Vincent wasn’t lying to me afterall.He had once again had proven his loyalty.But still, it isn’t enough for me. I know that he can still switch to the other side and choose to betray me.Anytime is the time that a traitor could struck at me. And I wouldn’t let that happen. Let him be loyal; let him be my pet.I simply take another sip on my pina colada, but then Isequel decides to give me a hint of his attention.“Oh, Aurella. Wow, I never thought I’d see you hanging out with Dahna one day.”I almost choke on my drink.Mister, I wasn’t hanging out with your girl. She sud

Chapter 34 (Part 2)

“Of course he wouldn’t dare. He knows I’ll do anything to protect Aurella from him.”In a blink of an eye, Lucas’ puzzled face in confusion changes into the bold aura of confidence.“He knows how serious I am. Especially when it’s about my wife.” He arrogantly smirks before stealing a bottle of whiskey from the bucket placed above the table.I immediately knew what he’s trying to do. I can read between the lines, and it’s not hard to comprehend that he’s trying to make Dahna think that she’s right.That we indeed got married, and that he never left me in the altar wearing my white gown stained with shame and regrets.Isequel secretly eyes me with both of his eyebrows slightly arched. He’s also quick to pick up the pretending that Lucas has started. And with the look he’s giving me, I bet he’s accusing me of being the one behind all of it.“Wife?” Isequel tempts to clarify if what he heard was right.“Yes,” Lucas answers with so much certainty. “Wife. She’s my wife.” He turns to me; ey
