HIS REVENGE, HER REDEMPTION のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

Melenia POVSitting on my couch in front of my TV with a bowl of popcorn and soda, I watched the award ceremony.My eyes were glued to it, my fingers gripping my controller like a lifeline, waiting for my boyfriend to make an appearance.Luke Higgins, is the only man that I have known romantically since I was in college and my partner for the past couple of years.We met when he was going for his first acting audition, and in a rush, he bumped into me as we were getting on the train, and it was something out of the movie.He was really sweet afterward when we had taken our seats on the train and after a few minutes of talking, I got his number.Gosh, I can't believe that was four years ago, and now, Luke is becoming a rising star for his latest work and is being nominated for the award of "Best Actor.”When the camera finally shifted to where Luke sat, I could feel the sense of eagerness and happiness bubbling inside of me as I watched him smile widely at the camera.His short hair wa

Melenia POVWhen I finally got home an hour later, I walked over to my bed, and collapsed onto it, covering my face with my pillow as tears streamed down my cheeks.It sucked that I spent four years of my life with a man, and just like that, I was thrown aside, and another woman was able to replace me in his heart. The thought of it made my heart sink and I was so angry at myself.Memories of us, the nights and days we would spend together, laughing, kissing, bare against each other's bodies, our hearts beating fast and strong... I missed all of it so badly, and now he was with Michelle instead.Just as I was about to fall asleep, my phone vibrated once again, causing me to let out a groan, and then reach under my pillow for it."My love," blinked on my screen, and I knew that it was Luke.It annoyed me that he was calling after what he just did to me, after ruining everything. I wanted to talk to him, and hear his voice, but I was way too heartbroken to answer or to even think.So, i

Calmly, I kept my gaze fixed on Levi, but on the inside, I was shaking in my shoes, afraid of how he had the power to take away my newfound dream of working for the most successful company ever created.Without saying a word to me, he reached for the folder again and opened it, looking at the sheet, his expression serious, and my nerves grew stronger.After what felt like an eternity to me, I watched as Levi put the paper down and looked at me again, his gray eyes boring into mine as a small smirk played upon his lips."You are hired." He announced calmly.For a couple of minutes, I couldn't comprehend what had just happened, and it took all my strength to keep my mouth shut. So I could only stare at Levi in shock, and I blinked a few times, unsure about what was going on."You are seriously hiring me?" I repeated, hoping that somehow that might make everything seem more real,"What? Do you find yourself incompetent to be my secretary?" Levi asked, looking straight at me, his eyebrows

I learned very quickly that Austin Rivers didn’t waste words. His voice was precise, clipped, and to the point no unnecessary flourishes, no softening of tone. Just straight, cold commands that left no room for interpretation."Schedule. Now."I straightened instinctively, my fingers tightening around the tablet in my hands. It was barely eight-thirty in the morning, and I’d already gone through three meetings, answered twelve emails, and survived a piercing, icy stare from him that I could still feel crawling up my spine. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring out at the city like he was contemplating the universe or maybe just the next problem to crush under his heel.Without turning, he kept his gaze fixed on the skyline, voice low but sharp. “Schedule. Now.”I nodded quickly, because that’s what I’d learned to do around him: agree, comply, move fast. I stepped forward and approached his desk, heart pounding softly in my chest. I could feel the weight of his gaze even be
