The Unluckiest Girl Alive

A Deal with the Devil

CHAPTER 2ROSE'S POVHe didn't seem fazed by my rant. He kept his gaze trained on me. I sighed in defeat, my shoulders slouching. There was no doubt; I would lose my job and probably go to jail. So why couldn't I finish what I started? I needed the truth about my sister anyway."I am a guest here. I just lost my way while going to the restroom.""What is your name? I would know if I invited you."I raised a brow. How cocky of him? With a scoff, I replied, "There are about a thousand guests in attendance, and you're telling me you know them all?""Your name." He snapped, although his voice remained low. "Or I call security."He wasn't impressed by my attempt at making the atmosphere light. So, I returned the energy."Lily Sinclair." I watched his eyes slowly light up with shock. That's the first tinge of emotion I had ever seen Damien Sterling show. "How do you know her?""What are you talking about?""She is my sister. And that's her in the picture." I pointed towards the shards of gla

The Devil's Fiancée

CHAPTER 3Rose’s POVTen minutes later, and I felt like I was no longer in my own body. Was I dreaming? Was pranking mentally exhausted women one of Damien's attributes as the devil? The girls did the last touch and finally pushed around the chair so I could glance at the mirror. I almost choked on my saliva at the sight before me.I wasn't who I remembered. Bridal makeup that didn't scrape away what was left of my features but was light on the skin with pink blush, powder-thin eyeliner, mascara on my curled lashes, shaped brows, and other things that made me look like I belonged on the cover of Vogue magazine."Oh my god!" I finally found words."Do you like it?""I love it," I muttered, more to myself than to the girl who had asked.Moments later, I was being led down the stairs with Damien's arms wrapped lightly around my waist. The touch was so light it was almost imperceptible, but it still sent goosebumps down my skin. Still, I maintained my smile."Just like we practiced," Damie

A Kiss for a Promise

CHAPTER 4Rose’s POV"You did well today. Although, I'll advise you to take a quick course in theater arts. You have an untapped talent right there."My chest burned with rage, fury rattled my bones, and my temper whistled like a boiling kettle. "You can't be serious. You just took me out to that battlefield without my consent."He began to take off his wristwatch and wrist cuffs. "But you did consent."I raised a brow. "In ten seconds? And now, you're acting like...I'm not sleeping in the same room with you!"If he thinks I would keep doing this with him after tonight, he must be extremely delusional. How could I forget my life back out there just to play trophy wife for some brooding billionaire? I'm sure he wouldn't look at me twice on a random Tuesday. I'm just some toy to be played with by him because he has money."Listen up, Rose," he said, saying my name like he was chanting a spell. "There are forces out there controlling everything that you don't know about. People in higher

The Anonymous Threat

CHAPTER 5Rose’s POVMorning came like a thief, stealing away the night. Creeping in through the window, while the morning breeze lightly caressed my face. Today should be my day off at work, I thought to myself.Yes, it was. That meant I had all day to stretch, run, make breakfast, do more research on Damien Sterling, and see if I can find some guy to drag to bed. That thought made me smile, pulling my lower lip between my teeth.That sounded nice. I just needed to arrange my room to prepare for the man. I stretched, sinking into the feeling of my warm, cozy bed with its silky sheets.Silky sheet? Silky?I frowned, squeezing and realizing it didn't feel like a fabric. I dared to open my eyes, and what I saw made me scream out loud.In a jiffy, I was off the bed, shaking like a leaf on water."What the hell? Why did you let me do all that?"He raised a brow, looking even sexier than I remembered, with his hair tousled—looking like I did that to him—and his arm propped on the side to su

Seraphina's Warning

CHAPTER 6Rose’s POVOne of the women, in her mid-fifties with all-grey hair styled in an elegant chignon, answered, her voice even lower. "Her name is Seraphina. She is a part of the Duval family, an heiress, that is. Their family is so powerful they have the vice president in their pocket.""I even heard," another woman, a bit younger with grey streaks in her full, long brown hair, began, "the Duval family once rivaled the Sterling. But with Damien now in charge, they lost. Since then, they had been looking for ways to merge the family by getting her married to him."They seemed to enjoy the interaction, but I didn't. The more I heard, the more I realized I was in a bigger problem than I thought I was.Damien was right. There were bigger forces at play. I grabbed a flute of a drink I didn't know and took a sip. It burned, but that was exactly what I needed. As I was still disconnected, staring into nothing, I heard someone talk through the microphone.When I looked up, it was Damien

The Boardroom Battle

CHAPTER 7Rose’s POVI had been tossing and turning in bed since getting that anonymous message. I had managed to keep it away from Damien by telling him it was just a stupid ad pop-up.When I could no longer lie comfortably on the bed, I slowly snuck out of the room, careful not to wake Damien, who was in a universe of his own.Calling Ariana was the first thing that came to my mind. I should do that before I finally sign the contract tomorrow. But what would I tell her? That I broke into the Sterling house? That I found out he might know about my sister's disappearance? That marrying him out of the blue would help me find my sister?For a long minute, I held my phone, debating whether or not to call her. As if on cue, my phone rang."Hey," I picked up and answered."Oh my god! You're really alive."I frowned. "What? What do you mean, Ariana?"She sighed. "There is a theory going around work that you were probably killed by the devil, and now your soul is being paraded as his fiancée.

The Morning After

CHAPTER 8Rose’s POVNow, that was a slap to the face. I was so furious I felt like I would explode. Yet, no words came out of my mouth. I just stood there like an idiot, too embarrassed to even move. She just called me a harlot. Have they not seen the news?For the first time, I was tempted to gloat."I'm going to give you one last chance..." I checked the golden inscription on her chest: "...Sophia. Apologize right now, or I'll report you to Damien."The girls laughed and began to call the attention of everyone in the lobby. Sophia grabbed a mic and spoke into it."Everyone, take a look at this slut who is trying to stick to Mr. Sterling for his money. The only woman who could ever try and succeed is Miss Seraphina, and even she failed to get him to put a ring on it." She tutted. "I'd stop trying if I were you."The entire lobby cracked up, laughing at me like I was a joke. My ankles wobbled, and my confidence dropped. Coming here was a mistake. Tears laced my eyes, threatening to fa

The Woman in the Photograph

CHAPTER 9Rose’s POVThe elevator doors slid open, and the second I stepped out, I almost rushed back in. The faces staring back at me were reason enough.A cluster of people stood waiting, dressed in well-pressed suits and designer dresses that said they held power. Their tailored outfits glimmered under the bright light, their shoes so polished I was sure I would see my reflection if I looked hard enough. Even without anyone telling me, I could tell they weren’t ordinary employees. They weren't in the assembly hall, so I knew these people were important.Damien’s arm slid from my waist, but he didn’t let go of my hand. Instead, he laced our fingers tighter, as if he expected me to run. His posture shifted with his back straight, his eyes cold and burning with the kind of aura that could slice through walls."Directors," Damien greeted flatly. His accent licked the edges of his words. "To what do I owe this pleasant visit, Mr. Kareem Al-Mansoor and his daughter, Layla Al-Mansoor?"The

Secrets in the Ashes

CHAPTER 10Rose’s POVThis time, it was a picture of me and Damien in the elevator. His hand was on my waist, his lips brushing mine, and the shock on my face was so visible I realized the angle was too close and personal. Whoever took this had to be inside the building. Maybe even on the same floor.Beneath the image, the message read:"Go to the company’s store. It's two doors down. Now."I swallowed hard, staring at the text until the letters blurred. This was different and more dangerous. Whoever this was, wasn’t just watching me. They were close.My feet moved before my brain could stop them. In no time, I was out of the bathroom, down the corridor, and into the storeroom tucked at the corner of the floor.The place smelled of dust and chemicals. Rows of shelves lined the walls, stacked with files that had collected dust and cobwebs over time, broken equipment, and abandoned projects. A single table sat in the middle, and on it lay an old book, leather-bound and faded, its edges e
