The stunning Miss Sophia Carter!"Oh My God! This isn't happening, I tried to make myself believe that this was all in my head but it obviously wasn't, from the loud applause and the murmers I knew it definitely wasn't a dream The spotlight remained on me pinning me in place like some rare artifact on display, it all made my entire body tense up.What the hell is happening?“Let the bidding begin.” Before he could properly end his sentence, a very old man raised his paddle grinning like he had struck gold."Five hundred dollars!" I wanted to scoff, I knew I was worth way more than that, but I nothing could prepare me for how I felt when I saw the bidder. Oh, hell no! I felt disgust clawing my insides as I almost puked, if this man won I would kill myself go to hell and drag Ethan with me."On

The silence was incredibly loud and for the first time since the whole confrontation started her confidence faltered.Her expression looked vulnerable for a second and then she slipped back into her untouchable, ice-queen like demeanor."One of." she choked out and when I didn't reply she kept on talking."Classic Ethan," she was trying to play it cool even though her tone was dripping with fake amusement. "With new girl on his arm the old one gets discarded like last season’s handbag. And I guess you were lucky enough to make the call. Makes me wonder… who’ll be the one to do it when it’s your turn?"I should have felt doubt creeping in. I should have been the bigger perosn and backed down but Instead I took a step forward, closing the space between us until we were nearly nose to nose."You sound bitter." My voice was light and teasing. I tilted my head, watching her closely. "Still not over it?"Her jaw tightened ever so slightly."You think you’re warning me?" I let out a soft sco

My alarm was ringing loudly, but I wasn't ready to wake up especially after the event of last night, so I tried to pretend as if the alarm wasn't there, but I just couldn't.I groaned rolling over and putting a freaking pillow on my face but it doesn't stop, so I reached to shut it off only to see almost a million missed calls in my phone.And I wasn't exaggerating at all.I squinted my eyes at the screen in an attempt to see better since my vision still very much blurry with sleep.Mom (5 Missed Calls)Rachel (10 Missed Calls, 3 Texts)My heart skipped, did someone die? Wait! Did Ethan die?But why the hell was my mom calling me? Shouldn’t she be on her honeymoon, sipping cocktails on some exotic beach with her new husband?I didn't want to overthink it as I was too exhausted to deal with whatever new hell awaited me.I dropped my phone on the bed and pulled the covers over my head. Maybe if I ignore it, the world will go away.But I should have known better as not up to a second lat

His office was quiet, there was no whispers or side glances from my co workers just Ethan's Intense gaze.He moved to his desk playing with his pen before sitting down and his piercing gaze never left mine.I keep my head high refusing to let him see how rattled I am.But now that we were here alone, the weight of every thing came crashing down as the adrenaline rush from my confrontation with Alex had finally left my system.I wasn't sure Ethan was fazed about the articles or even gave cared about what people would say about him calling me to his office, but he was the boss he could afford not to care, but I couldn't I was very much replaceable in both his life and in the office I got bored of the silence, seeing as Ethan was not going to make any effort to speak, I took the initiative, as I crossed my arms in an attempt to ground myself. "So I guess this is the part where you fire me?"A lazy annoying smirk appeared on his face as he leaned in against his desk, his hands still casu

By the time mid-afternoon rolled around, my bladder was screaming for relief. I pushed away from my desk and made my way to the restroom, slipping into one of the stalls.The moment I sat down, I heard the sound of the door opening and I heard the clicking of heels making an annoying against the marble floors, I forced myself to keep shut I didn't want to interact with the women here, all I had to do was keep shut for twenty minutes or so while I wait for them to get out, after all the just came to retouch their makeup."...such a desperate little slut. It’s pathetic."I froze, they were talking about me."Did you see the article? A million dollars just to take her out? Please.""Like, come on, Ethan Blackwood could have any woman in the city why would he pick her unless she was screwing him?"They bursted out in a cold cruel laughter. I couldn't helo but feel angry I gritted my teeth, fingers clenching into fists, they didn't even know half of the story but here they were judging me
