Third person POV6 months laterIn their vast mansion, the dinner room, might as well be the only time this rich family have a good reason to have to have to meet and face each other.It was silent, save for the clinking of cutlery against ceramic plates, the occasional order to the maids to bring or take a way a thing or the other or the sound of food being eaten.The usual sitting was in order, but the silent animosity between them was unparalleled."Grandma," Marissa spoke up. "Although it's only been six months since Zack started working with you at the company, don't you think he is doing really well?""Uhmmm," Grandma nodded as she continued to eat.Marissa looked at Irene with a taunting face, a smirk on her face but was surprised to find that the latter also had a similar expression on."Grandma, you must have heard about the famous Craig Wallstreet, right?" Irene continued without waiting for Grandma to respond. "Chris, through his persistence and flexibility was able to secu

Emilia's POVI flipped through the never ending pages, my chest feeling heavy and my frustration increasing with each passing second.I looked up and around the almost empty library.It was almost midnight, so it made sense that that there will be less people right now. Or that was the lie I kept telling myself, when in reality, the reason why the library is more empty than it should be, is because most of my mates have graduated.Only six months ago, I had so much hope I felt like I could shit rainbows. But now I am stuck in this stupid dingy place.Knowing that flipping the page won't get the words into my head, I stood from the chair as I decided to call it quits for the night.The next bar exams in in two weeks luckily, and I plan to pass this time.Trudging my way out, I came out of the library and stood still by the road, looking at the night sky, I realized how late it was.I brought out my phone and scrolled through the contacts before stopping at his name.I pressed dial and

Rose closed her lipstick and put it back in her purse before turning to face Madeline who had walked up to her. "Long time no see Rose. Who knew we would meet again after so long? You are happy to see me, right?" Madeline smiled brightly. "Depends on your intentions entirely," Rose titled her head to the side. "It's certainly been a long time Madeline. Eleven years if I am correct?" "Eleven years sound like such a long time, but it feels just like yesterday when we clung to each other's arms as we dominated the hallways of our high school," Madeline laughed. "You still think of those times, right? I hear your grandparents passed away not long after we graduated. Are you okay? Must have been devastating. Not having any one of us be there for you. And especially not long after Damian broke your heart," Madeline chuckled. "It was a rough time to go by. But I am more than glad I didn't have any of your fake asses with me. But as you can see, I am doing just fine now. Thank you for

"Do you want to finish what we started that night?" Zack blurted out. At his words, Rose's eyes widened in surprise. "What?""I mean," Zack looked away, feeling a bit of regret. That was a bad idea. I shouldn't have.""I am glad I wasn't the only one that felt that way," Rose whispered, and in two steps, covered the distance between before rising on her tip toes and placing a brief kiss on his lips.Rose smiled as Zack's eyes darkened, taking her invitation further by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her onto his body. He leaned in and started kissing her on the lips in a slow, yet ravishing manner. Rose's hands made their way up and around his neck, trying to get as much of him as she could. After a few seconds, the two pulled out of the kiss, gasping for air, their eyes burning for desire that needed to be quenched."Are you sure about this? Do you really want to...""Just shut up and make love to me already," Rose said, pulling him into her again, this time for a mor

Third-person POV"I must be going crazy at this point," Rose let out a disgruntled groan as she threw the blanket off of her and sat up on her bed.Today was the day they sign off the deal with Corey Tech, and she couldn't help but feel excited, and no, it wasn't the thought of signing the deal itself, but rather, what happened the day they had a meeting at her company with Corey Tech's CEO, Kent, and his employees and then Zack with his assistant.Rose's heart fluttered, remembering that day which had been on replay in her mind ever since.*3 days ago, Monday.Kimberly's steps were rather hasty as she fumbled with the papers in her hand while trying to keep up with Rose's strides and briefing her about the aspects they would cover at the meeting they were on their way to."Alright," was all Rose said after Kimberly was done briefing her, looking impassive.Kimberly looked towards her boyfriend, and he gave her a thumbs up, mouthing a 'good job' and she instantly brightened up with a s
