Risen To The Top Novels & Stories

especially some one who was only supposed to be someone's boy toy. The group stepped into a glass elevator. Collen pressed the button for the forty third floor. As the elevator rose up into the sky the view was originally blocked by the many buildings surrounding The Northern Garden, then in an instant their eyes were assaulted by the beauty of the setting sun breaking over the buildings. It really was a sight to behold as the rays of light shined through the glass elevator.

“Lily, do you have any wishes for the new year?” Perhaps my expression stood out too much in the middle of all the celebration. Daniel suddenly called my name. “I want a raise,” I said. My voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard it. The room suddenly fell silent. People slowly turned to look at me. The smile on Daniel’s face disappeared. “What did you say?” He walked down from the stage. He tossed the microphone aside, and it let out a sharp screech. “Say it again.” He stopped in front of me.

If we stand by and do nothing, we'll just watch others get rich beyond imagination. "But if we manage to seize it first, it'll change everything—overnight. It won't just be wealth. It'll be power. We could rise to the top and become a dominant force, untouchable and unstoppable."

Guilt filled hers, turning into tears that rolled down her cheeks. Sophie spotted me too, high above them all. She screamed, "Anna, I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Why do I get to live again but still lose to you? I should be the one who wins! It should have been Niles who united all humans. Why is this different from last time? Why?!" It was too bad that she would never understand. Relying on men, especially those who saw us as food, would never work. Logan and Niles were dead.

"I grew up with you. Don't you think I'd know if you had any hacking skills at all? "Everyone fawned over you in the past because Evan spoiled you. You don't honestly believe you had what it took to become an IT consultant at Gray Group otherwise!" She suddenly let out a cold, dry laugh, and her tone turned mocking. "Oh, I heard you've moved on to greener pastures and married another powerful man. Did you think the public would fawn over you like they did before just because of this? "Dream on, Beverly! This is Ravenwell. No one here is powerful enough to rule over the city."

What I did not see coming was that she had not gone and married Alfred. After all, three years ago, she had told me straight up, "If I could have a do-over, I'd pick Alfred over you in a heartbeat!" Alfred's smug look froze over, and he forced a couple of awkward chuckles before swiftly changing the subject. Once Wade had left, Alfred gave me a weird, mocking look. "You took off without a peep three years ago. I bet you're out of the loop about Jen's net worth. "Her business made it into the global top five hundred. She's a big deal now, even mixing with the likes of Ms. Smith, the billionaire. You're probably kicking yourself, huh?"

On her eighteenth birthday, Nyra believes the Moon Goddess has finally blessed her—mating her to her longtime boyfriend, Prince Dante. It feels like destiny. Until the ceremony begins… and Dante rejects the bond in front of everyone. Then he chooses her sister instead. Broken and humiliated, Nyra is thrown away as a “rejected bond” and handed to the Crown’s most feared enforcer. But the Moon Goddess never makes mistakes… and this bond is only the beginning.

"I was just wondering what my life would look like if I had actually given up that early admission four years ago for him." He smiled and pulled me into his arms. "There's no what if. Someone like you was always meant to stand at the top." I rested my head against his shoulder, looking up at the stars. He was right. I was always meant to stand at the top.

“Hey, where are you stumbling off to?” “Jack is taking us out for lunch, so I am off to get some shoes” I told him as I slowly carried on walking. I looked up the stairs and swallowed the lump in my throat. I needed to stop been a wimp and do this. I lifted my left leg and placed it on the first step. “See easy” I told myself as I lifted my right leg and put it on the next step “just keep going till you reach the top, slow and steady wins the race” I kept telling myself as I slowly made my way up the stairs. I finally made it to the top and looked down to see Jack. “I made it” I smiled down at him.

Since I was shorter, he lowered his gaze and finally looked at me. "You're not educated. Why are you here?" His words were precise, spoken with an accent. "Come on, who says only educated people can work in a hotel? I'm capable and smart too." I pouted. He stared at me but didn't say another word. At that moment, the elevator opened, and he stepped out first. "Hey." I grabbed his arm. Swiftly, he turned his head, his gaze falling on the hand holding his arm. "We're here for the interview. Since we don't know anyone, don't you think we should stick together?"
