Rhea Royce Novels & Stories

Carter had never seen her as a wife, so why should she keep standing on his side, worrying about his interests or opinions? Rhea smiled. "During work hours, I'm just a risk consultant for Scott Group. Nothing more. It's my job to generate profit, avoid loss, and compete in the market." Her calm confidence made Louie look at her with newfound appreciation. "Alright, then. Could you join me on this business trip? It's somewhere near Draventh." Louie had purposely waited for Rhea to come into work. Otherwise, he would have left earlier that morning. Draventh…

“This is—this isn’t a formal visit.” They sit. I remain standing. Too nervous to sit. “Is Rhea here?” I ask. “I’ll get her.” Rica stands. Goes to the stairs. “Rhea! Prince Ryker is here!” A pause. Then footsteps above us. Rhea appears at the top of the stairs. She’s wearing simple clothes—jeans and a sweater. Her hair is down. No makeup. She’s beautiful. Our eyes meet. Something passes between us. Complicated. Unresolved.

"Huh, should it seem as if they were killed by a serial killers? No too dark." Even though it wasn't her first kill, it felt different. The sensation that rushed through her spine when his blood splattered on her left cheek was exhilarating. The unrelated lives she took in her previous line of work never made her feel anything, no remorse, no closure, nothing. But she was now different, sort of reborn, driven by a vengeful thirst for blood. She was now Qiao Mo, the secretary to the President of of the Wushi Cooperation, and she was running late for work.

Rachel “Stop laughing for god’s sake,” Jayce complained with a long sigh but I couldn’t stop my laughter. After what my eyes have witnessed. “Rachel,” Jayce complained yet again. “It wasn’t so funny that you are laughing so hard,” Jayce is wrong with these. It was funny as heck, so much that the image is still vividly printed on my mind. And every time I look at Jayce, I couldn’t help but laugh. “Rachel….,” Jayce sighed.

“Please, Rhea, don’t listen to that bitch! She just wants to separate us!” Melissa’s eyes narrowed. “Wait,” she turned to face Rhea, hoping the hunch she was getting right now wasn’t true. “Who are you?” Rhea kicked Tyler out of the way and got to where Melissa stood, facing her. “I’m Rhea Turlington, first daughter of Thomas Turlington, one of the most influential and wealthiest businessmen in the country, heiress to his fortune, and…” she stared at Tyler in disgust. “His girlfriend. Ex girlfriend now that I know what he’s been doing behind my back.”

At least one good thing had come from her leaving Mumbai—she and Wynter were better attuned to one another than ever before. “In other news,” Wynter said. “Aisha’s birthday is in two days and—” “—and Roy’s having a party,” Rhea said flippantly. “That’s so usual now.” “Actually, he’s not.” “Wait a minute,” Shane held a hand out, “So, there’s no party? Wow! Since when does Roy not celebrate any event?” “There is a party,” Wynter said. “But Roy is not hosting it. Rodrigo is.”

Instructors included. He was the monster Seth warned her about. She tore her gaze away before it lingered too long. Rhea stepped back behind Ryker, letting his broad frame shield her from view. The checkpoint lines shifted again. She wasn’t called forward yet—but it was only a matter of minutes. One sniff. One slip. One wrong word, and her entire lie would crumble like rotted timber. But she didn’t falter. She was Rian Greythorn now. No home. No allies. No mistakes.

I still know who I am with and right now, she is talking about Cyrus, and I am all too focused to even think about my state. "I knew he was a coward." She blurted out. "Why did you say so?" I asked as I hiccupped. "Well, he knows he can't fight the bond but him, being the mighty Alpha that he is, he stupidly tries to defy what the Moon Goddess had offered him." I can't relate to every word she was saying. There goes the ALPHA word again. I wonder if that is what they mean as CEO. "I can't understand a word you're saying." I told her honestly as I played the rim of the glass with the tip of my forefinger.

she giggled "Gosh! He is trying to prove himself worthy of my boyfriend. I'll thank him later anyways" Seeing my family in California again gave me some undiluted joy. Ryan crowned it all by giving Royce a scholarship to crystal high. I tried to decline the offer because I knew how demonic the students in crystal high may be. I didn't want Royce to pass through the intimidation that I passed through. Mine was easier because I was fierce but Royce is just someone that doesn't like to engage in trouble.

Royce knows about Draco's real identity now, there is no doubt about it, so she has to play smart here. She goes straight for the bullet, “You already know? I just found out today that he has been deceiving me all this while, and I want nothing to do with him.” Royce pauses at her words, licking his lips pulled into a thin line. She does not end it there, “I left immediately, and that’s why I came back. You are the only person I can trust, the only one that does not lie to me,” she expresses with tears filling her eyes.
