All Chapters of Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions: Chapter 101 - Chapter 109

AURORA“Don't tell me Mr. Vance is jealous.”He pursed his lips and blinked, once and then again, and shook his head with the calmest expression I had ever seen anyone wear.“Jealous?” His voice was smooth. It almost felt like the possessiveness I had felt from him a moment ago was all made up in my head.He leaned in. His gaze swept over my face, and my insides flipped madly. “I don't do such emotions.”He almost sounded like the cold boss everyone knew him to be. Was I flattering myself too much to think he was jealous because of me?But I had felt how his fingers trembled at my side and how every gaze was shooting daggers at poor Caleb.“Are you sure?” I tilted my head at him.“Of course… I just wanted your friend to know that your husband was here.” He said that statement so controlled that I snickered. I couldn't hold it anymore.“Right, right.” I nodded once. If he was not going to admit it, then I wasn't going to push it any further. After all, it didn't really even matter.“Sh

AURORACold air swept over me when we stepped outside the restaurant. I had asked Alexander if we could go on a walk, and he agreed.We walked side by side, silent at first. I didn't want this moment to slip away. Spending time alone with him was getting more interesting than I thought as time went by.“I don't think I have ever really walked the city before.”I looked up at him. He was staring at the yellow-lit road ahead of us.“Really?” I murmured, and he nodded.“My parents raised me as the heir, and even though they never explicitly said there were certain things I couldn't do, the role just grew on me.”I nodded. “I was raised as an heir too,” I murmured.But comparing lives, it was obvious that ours was different. He was the controlled kind, while I was the type to sneak out in the middle of the night and get scolded all day.“Yes, and I used to envy you. You always used to smile and live life carefree. Every time I tried that, it felt like I was stepping out of what I was supp

AURORA“You’re looking stunning.”Chloe stood by the door and stared at me in the mirror. I turned to her and looked down at the teal dress I was wearing. Before I could protest about how extravagant the dress was, she moved closer to me.“Teal is definitely your color," she said, adjusting my dress.V Collective was throwing a party, and halfway through, they’d have the final bid. The rumors were that they were going to reveal the boss today, and Chloe was eager to see him because she had heard rumors about his looks.“Don’t you think it’s too much?” I turned back to the mirror. My hair was in a luxurious bun sitting low on my neck. My face was beaten with makeup products that hid every flaw perfectly.“Too much? You want Melody to overshadow you?”“I am not going to parade myself like a peacock," I sighed.“I am not saying you should.” She shook her head. “I am saying you are a million times better and more beautiful than Melody. Why should you let her steal your thunder?”“You know

AURORAJulian looked like he had aged a few years since the last time I saw him.Even a well-tailored suit and haircut didn’t hide the eye bags under his eyes and how stressed he looked. Victoria, on the other hand, looked like she had been relaxed.She was wearing a necklace that cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her lips curled into a smile, and she tried to move towards me, but Chloe pulled me away.“We’ve already gotten our fair share of scumbags and jerks for the day. Let’s not stand here.”Victoria stomped her feet angrily, watching us walk away while saying something about how out of place we were.Chloe and I settled by the dessert table, where she took it upon herself to try out every dessert that was there.“Eat less,” I murmured, leaning into her side.She shook her head and pushed a small meatball through her lips. “Everything here is so delicious.”She raised the stick, holding a ball of meat drenched in some sauce close to my mouth. “Here, have a bite.”I c

AURORAThe bid starts after a few minutes.I listen to every presentation before me. All of the designs were done by top designers whom companies had paid a fortune to recruit.I fiddled with my dress, rehearsing my speech over and over in my head. When the names Aurora Vance and Sterling Group were called together, I walked up the stage, my head held high and my nose in the air, hoping that I was not tripping over air because that would be a good way to embarrass myself and the Sterling Group.I can’t remember half of what I said, but I remember that at the end, the entire hall was standing and clapping for me.The second phase of the presentation was the display. I went backstage to the dressing room that we had been assigned, and Jason was already waiting.He pulled me into a hug and let out a sigh.“My job is saved,” he murmured.“What?”“I was thinking that you would ruin it, and then I’d have to quit my job and start from the bottom.”I pulled away from him.
