Novel & Cerita Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

Her hands ball even tighter into fists until her knuckles turn white. I quickly blurt out, “No. She isn’t.” But before I could continue, Tiffany giggles and dramatically covers her mouth with her hand, letting her diamond engagement and wedding rings show. “How silly of me. You have probably moved up in your job and are a clerk somewhere else now. I bet you are only here to get a free meal from her.” Her eyes widen again, and she looks at me. “Oh, wait. I forgot. You were disowned by your parents and thrown out like garbage. You don’t have any money anymore.”

Tiffany resembled her grandmother, while Briley took after her deceased mother. Tiffany was a skilled swimmer and could dive deep into the sea to collect pearls, staying underwater longer than any other pearl divers. Briley, however, was afraid of water and couldn’t swim, no matter how hard she was taught. Tiffany was clever with her hands, using small and imperfect pearls to create hair accessories and selling them at the market. They would be sold out in less than half an hour. Briley was not as good with her hands, but she enjoyed shopping at the market and adorning herself.

“That’s it?” Tiffany froze, confused, until she saw him make a dismissive gesture—like he was about to leave. “WAIT—wait!” she blurted out. “She—uh—she once asked me where she could sell that watch you gave her! She said she wanted to know if I knew any discreet buyers!” Julian’s hand stopped mid-motion. His eyes narrowed slightly. Tiffany caught it—finally, a reaction—and her confidence flared. “It’s true! Her family’s broke as hell, so of course she’d pull something like that! Just look into her background—you’ll see the kind of people she comes from—”

I had told him that my parents were gone, and that I had built my life from scratch. I drove a beat-up Volkswagen worth barely a few grand and always dressed in ordinary office wear. To him, I was just another average office worker with some meager savings. He never dreamed that I was the long-lost heiress to the Simpson family. "Why? Don't I look the part?" I stared him down, expressionless. "Are you in or out? These shares, in exchange for your tech startup that just secured funding, plus…" I pointed a sharp finger at Tiffany. "Everything she's taken from me at this table tonight, and the deed to her downtown condo."

She continued firmly. Miranda swallowed, looking at Tiffany in surprise because she seemed not to expect Erland anymore, and she didn't seem very sad even though their baby couldn't be saved. "I'm really tired of him," Tiffany said again, her eyes teary, showing sadness. "I'll tell you something, but please don't be mad at me," she continued. "What's that?" "Actually, I didn't meet him... He wasn't in Alaska," Tiffany said. Miranda immediately frowned, clenching her fists, her eyes showing anger.

I take the phone gently from her fingers and pull her inside the steamy bathroom, closing the door so we're all crowded together in the humid quiet. I had to tell her everything. I admit someone is blackmailing us with old secrets, that it somehow ties into family money troubles I never knew about, that we're trying to handle it without letting it destroy us. Her lower lip trembles, and then the tears come fast. She sinks onto the closed toilet lid, head in her hands, and the story spills out of her in broken pieces.

Nick tilted his head, his beautiful eyes staring at her with pleading eyes and Tiffany turned her eyes to Nick. “I am being honest right now Nick,” Tiffany exhaled sharply. “Just as you said, I was not in a romantic relationship with Carlos and the only thing I can recall was how we argued a lot, so I can’t really pinpoint the reason I fell in love with him, or what he did, I just fell in love with him.” Tiffany finished with a smile on her lips. “Aish!” Nick ran his hand through his hair and let out an exasperated sigh. “How can you not know?” He pointed at Tiffany who shrugged then he turned to Alison with his brows slightly raised.

She started getting angry at every little thing, she became destructive and violent, her eyes were filled with hatred and anger the poison took control of her system and the loving, beautiful and sweet little girl he once knew became a selfish, ugly monster. She'd curse and ruin anyone that crossed her path, the man left after she became this way saying his mission was accomplished. Few months later she discovered she was pregnant. "History didn't say what happened to her or her child and certainly didn't talk about the man but it did mention something." "What was that?" I leaned closer to her so I could hear her better. "Its a riddle and it goes like this."

I winked and he laughed. "Well Hailey you did it." "How about you? Any stories?" I asked and he smirked. "What do you think?" He teased me. "I mean everyone has their first love story.. I mean I won’t be jealous.." I said awkwardly and looked away. "Okay let me tell about my first love story.." I looked at him really curious. Before he can tell his story, the food came. The waiter greeted us and put the food in front of us. "I met her unexpectedly actually, she's a really bright person and really beautiful. I love her cute expression especially when she's trying so hard to do something, she's really-"

I like how we can comfortably chat with each other. "Doesn't he still hope now?" Tiffany shook her head and go back to looking at the sink. "It's not that extreme compared to before. He already created a tomb for her." Suddenly, I got curious about Tyler's mate and why didn't she come back. "Who's she?" Tiffany looked at me with a grin. "Oh, I'm sure as hell you know who I'm talking about." I gulped and a heavy load formed in my chest as my head started to form someone. Oh, hell no she didn't!
