Lahat ng Kabanata ng Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

AURORA“I heard the boss of V Collective would be here tonight.”I was in one of the bathroom stalls, just trying to calm my beating heart after going after Julian and Victoria.I had intended to touch up my makeup but then panicked when I heard more than two footsteps approaching the bathroom, so I rushed in and locked myself in.“I know, right?” one of the women said. “I can’t wait to meet him.”I almost snickered at the thoughts running through their minds. They had the chance to meet one of the biggest bosses in the game, and yet all they could think of was seducing him.I pressed my hands to my lap and waited for them to go. I didn’t want to get caught by them eavesdropping because I knew what kind of dynamic that could cause.“Oh no,” one of them exclaimed.My ears perked as I waited to hear what could have happened. Who knew the best place to get amused and all the gossip was the restroom of a public hall?“The boss isn’t coming,” she sighed, and a frown took over my face insta

AURORAMy eyes shot open. I stared at the ceiling and then slowly turned my head.The first thought on my mind was the kiss from last night. It was not the last thing I did last night, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.So hard, so much that I dreamt about it.I sat slowly in bed, and Alexander appeared in the doorway. He was wearing a T-shirt, his muscles popping underneath in fine lines like they were begging for release.He stared at me, tilted his head, and leaned into the doorframe. “You’re up?” his husky voice sent a shiver down my spine. It was his voice that made me stop staring at his well-defined chest. I wiped the drool on the corner of my mouth and tried to keep my eyes focused on his chest.I hummed with a nod. “I just got up.”“I made breakfast,” he said so casually.“You don’t have to.” I shook my head.What would the entire world say if they heard that I was eating the food made by him? The great Alexander Vance.“I want to,” he dismissed. “After all, cooking for

AURORAAlexander had left me alone in the studio and gone out for an urgent meeting.I sat at the drawing table, gripping the pens he had laid out tightly. I had barely picked up a pen in three years.I had spent the entire time picking up after Julian, trying to support his vision. I had believed that if I could be with him and give him my entire life, then it would be enough to pay him for saving my life once.Only now, sitting in the room, did I realize how foolish I was.For giving up my dream and everything just to be with him.My phone buzzed with a message from Chloe asking me to meet her tonight for some drinks and not tell Alexander because apparently her new boy toy was cheating on her.I rolled my eyes at her message. She knew how strict Alexander was and what he would do to her if he knew the truth.I was about to respond when Catherine's call flashed on the screen.I watched it ring for the first time to the end and then go straight to voicemail. I knew I was still going

AURORAI had spent the evening preparing both the legal documents and the evidence of Garrick’s crimes.With how much Mother and Melody were protecting Garrick, I knew a few pieces of paper with testimonies was not going to be enough to put him away, but I knew this was the only way I could get to establish dominance.Let him know that I was not to be messed with.I walked with my head high enough not to hear the whispers of the staff as I made my way again to Catherine’s office.This time, even though her assistant was trying to keep me back, I ignored her and walked straight into her office.She was seated behind her desk, flipping through a freaking magazine. I wanted to walk up to her and tear it into pieces. She was going to hold me back while she read a magazine while trying to establish her dominance.“I am sorry, Mrs. Sterling. I couldn’t stop her,” the lady said in a fearful voice.She looked up at us through the bottom rim of her glasses and waved her assistant, who had foll

AURORA“I will never apologize.”Catherine took a step forward. The look she always had on when she made me yield to Melody snagged on. It was like she had rehearsed it enough times to look at me like that.“You created a disturbance in the company. You should apologize for it.”“Then is he going to apologize?” I asked, ignoring the throbbing in my cheeks.Her lips opened and closed, and then the crowd behind her murmured again. They were in support of me. At least one of them had analytical, critical thinking sense.“He hit me first. I was only returning it back to him,” I explained, blinking like I was innocent.“Instead of causing a disruption like this in the company, you should have reported to HR.”“Would you have fired him if I did?”She was breathing heavily, and even though her lips were parted, she had not still found the right words to say back to me. She finally looked away.“Apologize,” she insisted.She was being ridiculous. Everyone around could see it. But just to favo
