Chapter: Chapter 4This is unusual and mostly uncalled for, that is in her own point of view and opinion. You can as well ask others for theirs or contribute yours too but guess what? It doesn't matter, whatever your thinking is doesn't matter!Especially that of her decision, it does not matter as hers would mostly be classified as a trashed type of decision and her opinion too.Petal sat down and let the maids do whatever they think befits her and is necessary on her face and hair after they made her wear the most expensive robe in the States.No one else got it for her other than her father since he's rich enough to afford twenty times of 24 karat gold, purchasing such an expensive robe would cost him nothing. Yeah, nothing.She was supposed to dress formally but her father insisted she dress like the royals. Who is she to dare go against his decisions in any way? He owns her, it's his to decide on her.After what seems like forever, the maids announced to her that they were done. All she was able to

Chapter: Chapter 3The air was different and unlike the other days. Petal's father, Xavier Brooks, had hired a paid service to the willing teen wolf who volunteered to help him do some menial work in his huge house. Yeah, those were supposed to be cleaned by Petal but Xavier Brooks was feeling different for that day. He even went as far as preparing and throwing a huge party for Petal, so he told her. On that day, Petal would be completing another circle round the earth surface yet again. It's her nineteenth birthday and Xavier Brooks had decided to throw it in a grand style which he has never done since her existence. Petal was shocked at the sudden announcement which made her wonder for minutes if those words were coming from her father. "I think I'm in a dream." She uttered under her breath, more like talking to herself as she pricked her skin very painfully. "Ouch...!"Well, she deliberately pricked her skin very painfully to be sure she is not imagining things or in her dream. It sounded too go

Chapter: Chapter 2"You don't mind this, do you?" A husky voice asked with politeness laced in it. She slowly opened her eyes to the source of the voice.'Am I dreaming?' She thought within herself as she wiped my eyes to be sure she is not starting to see things. She did not expect to see him yet, maybe she is supposed to since today is different for her."Cyrus...?" She muffled out, more like questioning. His hot gaze was directed on her, staring intensively. It's a type of stare she always classifies with that of pity and nothing else. Pity, just pity!"Yeah, it's me. Quit that stare, you aren't seeing things." He replied with his lips curled up into a thin smile as stretched forth his right hand towards her. "Here, have this."Her eyes sparkled in delight and she did not bother to hide the excitement in her. I mean, why would she?Hastily, she snatched the snack from his grip and without wasting any second, she began munching on it like her life depends on.Well to be honest, her life actually depen

Chapter: Chapter 1"Father..." She muttered out with bitterness laced in her voice but she received the shock of her life in return.She's used to it already but she is always shocked whenever she receives such treatment from her father. Her face stung very badly as a drop of tears was seen streaming down her cheeks.She held her cheeks very tightly, trying to hold back the rest of the already streaming tears she was having. She felt like this stung much more than the previous one she's been receiving from her father. Her heart seems broken more than ever."How many times do I have to warn you not to address me as your father?" He growled deeply at her like any other animal would do. "Do you listen to me at all?""I'm sorry, Fa..." She had wanted to say ‘father’ but quickly controlled her words. "I'm deeply sorry, sir.""Sorry for your worthless self. Who cares about how sorry a slave like you might be?" Her father barked at her in a gruffy like tone. "No one cares and I don't care either, do you get it

Chapter: Chapter 5Just who are you?Having heard her name from his mouth, Penny felt her breath seized for a few seconds and different thoughts suddenly filled her head. *How the hell did he know my name? And why does he sound so angry? Did he find out about me peeping on him yesterday? Does he know what exactly he is?* Finally righting herself, she suppressed her random thoughts since it was beginning to give her an unnecessary headache. She had decided not to question herself anymore but hear from him first.After taking a deep breath, Penny faced him fully as she asked politely “I do not understand Mr Humphrey. Do you have anything else to discuss?” her hands clenched unto her gown tightly.Upon hearing her question, Stiles gestured for Anita to leave first and in a few minutes she left his office without a word and closed the door in a bang which caught Penny off guard as she flinched back a little.Every reaction gotten from the woman in front of him was so funny that Stiles found it very enter

Chapter: Chapter 4 You shouldn't have seen.Shocked by what she saw, Penny rushed to the meeting room breathing heavily. Just as she was about to say something Anita showed up.With a cold demeanour emitting from her, she stated “The Ceo is currently not feeling well at the moment. So he demands you all to come tomorrow. I'm sorry for the delay.” She bowed and walked away shortly.At that moment Penny's brain wandered back and that was when realisation hit her that the room she saw was unbelievable was the CEO'S office.*The CEO Stiles Humphrey of Humphrey's fashion industry is a beast?” Penny gasped at her thoughts attracting the other employees.When Penny got home, she threw her bag on the couch and made her way to her room. Upon doing so, she walked straight to her reading table and switched on her laptop. She could feel her heart beating faster than usual but she simply pushed that uneasy feeling aside. Gathering all the courage she needed, Penny began to type a few words on her laptop. Shortly t

Chapter: Chapter 3 WitnessThe next day being the day of the interview, Penny woke up by 6am and got dressed in her most nicest outfit. A red body shaped knee length gown that brought out her curves and opened a bit of a cleavage, but not enough for people to criticise her.Looking at herself in the mirror took her back to the time she had celebrated her 25th birthday. Back then she had brought the gown because of it and now she's wearing it for the second time after a few months. A frown curled up her forehead as she realised how thin she was back then, since the gown was now hugging her so much.Rounding off with her dressing, Penny took the same cab as Jason and waved him goodbye as she alighted in front of her company.“Goodluck sis, I love you.” Jason screamed from the closed car and Penny mouthed the same to him.Just a step away from the entrance of the company, Penny untied her hair from the messy bun she had wrapped it in and flinged it triumphantly before walking into the company.As the soun

Chapter: Chapter 2 The interviewIn the large meeting room of Humphrey group, was Stiles Humphrey the Ceo of the largest fashion industry. “That sums up our quarter for this month.” A middle aged woman stuttered as she spoke with her heart in her throat. She was in charge of the management unit “Are you satisfied with the results Mr Humphrey?” Stiles slender fingers drummed on the documents in front of him. He had a glum expression on his face “Do you really expect me to be happy with this kind of results?” Everyone was covered in cold sweat. Of course he wouldn't be happy, no one has ever made him satisfied let alone happy? He wasn't that easy to deal with.Swallowing the huge lump in her throat and regaining her composure, the middle aged woman spoke after a long time of keeping mum.“May I know what the problem is, sir?” “Everything Mariam!” Stiles spat frostily before tossing the document around the room, not caring where it landed. Luckily Mariam caught in before it could touch the ground.Rub

Chapter: Chapter 1 Lackey“You are such a complete disaster!” Yelled the chief director with a bang on the desk and Penny moved back in fright. She instantly felt all the air in her lungs trying to escape as his words pierced through the atmosphere. “How come you never do anything right?” his growl came out slowly.This was not the first time he had yelled at her nor the first time he had insulted her, still again she felt furious. His words were like needle pricking on her skin each time he spoke. He made her feel worthless than she already is and she hated it.“I'm sorry chief director,” Penny apologised again which turned out to be a headache for him, as the middle aged man loudly hissed and rubbed his temple.“Just shut it Penny!” His words came out harshly. However, She simply nodded and remained silent like she had been spelled. Obeying him and carrying out his orders seemed to be the only two things she knew how to do.Heat rose into her cheeks and tears were burning in the back of her eyes, b
