♡ Valerie ♡I dragged my feet on the tiled floor as I walked across the room into my bathroom. My reflection stared back at me blankly as I glanced into the mirror. Blue eyes swollen from constant crying, and dark circles underneath my eyes from lack of sleep. My long brown hair was held in a messy bun. In short, I looked like the opposite of myself. I mean, I couldn't blame myself.Ever since Mom died in the fire accident at her workplace, I have been the opposite of myself. How could I live well when the only family I had left was gone, leaving me alone in this cruel world?The doorbell ringing pulled me out of my intense stare at the mirror as my eyes darted to the door.Was the landlord here to send me out? Could my life get any worse than it already is?I ran my fingers through my hair.

2 - Skylar De Novo
Five Years Later...New York, Manhattan, LDN Corp.♡ Skylar ♡Standing by the glass wall that gave a beautiful view of Manhattan, a smirk formed on my lips.It was finally the day. The day I had been waiting for and working my ass off for. The day the whole world will see the face behind the fast-rising LDN Corp.The sound of the door opening made me turn around, and my eyes fell on the little girl running toward me.A smile broke out on my face as I stooped and scooped her into my arms, earning a giggle from her."Sweetheart, where's Hannah?" I asked, dropping her to stand back on her own.She had a mischievous smile on her lips and her blue eyes stared back at the door as if expecting someone to walk in."She's on her way."I raised a brow at her."What-""How can a five-year-old run this fast?" A familiar voice cut me off, and I looked towards the door to see Hannah walking in. She shut the door after her.I immediately understood the mischievous smile she had on earlier, and I gla

3 - Blue eyes
### The next day... ★ Miller Groups ♡ Alfred ♡ Seated on the swivel chair in my office, my brows snapped together while I typed away on my laptop, my free hand running through my hair continuously. The screen suddenly went blank, and a string of profanities escaped my lips. Seriously?! I'm getting tired of this sh*t. I looked up from the blank screen, and my eyes met with the door. At that instant, it swung open, and someone walked in. A particular black-eyed dude that frustrates me. "Have you seen it?" Xander asked, his eyes lit up with something I couldn't quite pinpoint. "Seen what?" I rolled my eyes, flexing my fingers. "Skylar De Novo's reveal, damn, it's trending at number one." I scoffed, leaning back on the chair as I stole a glance at the still blank screen. Of course, this was what she wanted. The whole attention to be on her, but she was no match for Miller Groups. She was no match for me. "She's one hell of a pretty lady, though," Xander commented, and I looke

4 - Mr Handsome
♡ Skylar ♡"Rora?!" I called. She didn't reply, so I turned to look at her.I sighed, seeing that she was no longer standing beside me.Hannah placed the black gown back on the rack and looked at me."She must have left while we were arguing."I rubbed my temples tiredly.Gosh, I can't deal with this girl always running off when we are at the mall."I'll go check for her before she gets herself injured like the last time," I said to Hannah, who just nodded in reply, and I walked away.I started with the children's section, but she wasn't there. As I moved past the racks, my eyes suddenly fell on Aurora, but she wasn't alone. She was talking to someone. I walked up to them immediately."What in the world do you think you're doing?" I snapped at the guy, and Aurora turned to me just at the same time he did.Immediately our eyes met, I froze. Literally. My breathing hitched as his blue eyes bore into mine like he was trying to read something.Those striking blue eyes I'd always recognize,

5 - C'est la Vie
♡ Skylar ♡ Ethan and Hannah turned at once to look at Alfred before they turned back to me."Is that Alfred Miller, or are my eyes just seeing wrong?" Ethan asked the obvious.Who else would it be except the asshole? I wanted to retort, but I decided against it."Also, why is she calling him Mr. Handsome? Is there something you guys are not telling me?" he added.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration."I'll be right back," I mumbled and got on my feet, heading to their table, which was just two tables away from ours."We meet again, Ms. De Novo," Alfred called, his eyes twinkling in amusement as I stopped by their table.I clenched my fists inwardly, new-found anger bubbling inside of me, even though I tried my best not to show it. All that was on my mind was to tug at Catherine's hair and yank it until her scalp felt sore and do something much worse to Alfred, and I did just that.I grabbed Catherine's hair angrily, tugging it hard, just like she had done five years ago."Yo

6 - Who's she?
♡ Alfred ♡I stared at her as she turned around and walked away.Damn. Why the heck was she being so damn rude and tough? Acting like I was the cause of all her life problems. And what exactly did she even mean by it was all my fault? Like I've ever had an encounter with her before!I exhaled and headed for the elevator.One thing I know is that I won't be working with her. Heck! I can't stand her attitude. Immediately the elevator doors slid open and I stepped out, I pulled up my nose mask and made my way out of the building, only pulling it off when I was protected by the opaque glass windows of my car.As soon as I started the car and drove out of the parking lot, a message popped up on my phone screen. - Come home now - It was a simple three words from my dad that meant something not good. It was either he was about to give me some long boring lectures about why I wasn't married or blame me for something falling apart in the company or give me unending orders. Stupid ridiculous

7 - Taking risks
♡ Skylar ♡LDN CompanyI slumped down on my chair, an exhausted sigh escaping my lips as I glanced at the time displayed on my laptop.The day was almost over, and I still hadn't decided if I was going to accept the mayor's offer or not.If it wasn't for Alfred being involved, I wouldn't even think twice before accepting it. But of course, Alfredo Miller had to be involved. My mind wandered back to the little argument we had before I stormed away. Honestly, I had thought I had gotten way past the pain, but it turns out it was all a damn lie. Seeing him again, over and over, it's like it's causing all these pains I had been pushing down to resurface.Whenever he talked, everything reignited, reminding me of my awful past. It was harder than I had thought.I groaned, dragging both my palms down my face.I picked up the contract documents and flipped through the pages as I started to weigh my options.The pros were more than the cons, so I just had to take the risk. Risk. It was all ab

♡ Alfred ♡The Next Day,X-Y Restaurant"I assure you that you've made the best decision," David smiled as he tucked the documents into a brown envelope and then turned back to us."Any payment to be made will be reported to me first""All the information concerning the two available sites and the design of the resort has been sent to your emails, I'll be meeting up with both of you frequently to monitor your progress and report to the Mayor""You can start working anytime this week, but I suggest you start now so you can meet the nine months time frame""If that's all, we'll be seeing in our next meeting.""Goodbye, Mr. Miller, Ms. De Novo." With one last smile in both our directions, David pushed the chair backward and got on his feet, walking out of the VIP room. I exhaled and glanced at Skylar, whose blue eyes were trained on her phone. She had been silent since we came here. Only talking to David. Yeah, ignoring me? She totally was.I was even surprised that she had agreed to i

9 - Amore
♡ Skylar ♡The next morning...8:55 am...I sat at the vanity table, staring at my reflection in the mirror. I slowly reached for my shoulder, staring at the small, almost invisible scar on it. It was one of the few injuries I had gotten from the fall, and it had healed over the years. Somehow, I wished I could heal as easy as they did, but sadly, I couldn't. And now that Alfred was supposedly back in my life, all the pain I had been trying hard to push down was resurfacing."Daddy!" I heard Aurora's voice followed by a squeal, and my eyes narrowed in confusion.Daddy? Aurora would never call Ethan, daddy, and there was no other male that visited us.I immediately stood up from the chair and put on the black jacket, which stopped a little above my knees. I grabbed my bag and walked out of the room."Where's your mommy?" I heard a familiar voice, and I halted on the stairs, my hand gripping the railing.'Did I just hear wrong, or is it who I'm thinking?'I quickened my pace and made m

10 - Always an Asshole
♡ Skylar ♡Alfred brought the car to a stop in front of the site. I immediately got out of the car, surveying the area. It was large. Approximately 40 acres. Great choice for the resort. I had to admit, Alfred was right.From where I was standing, I could see the mountains peeking from the distance, and I knew if we were up closer, it would be a more beautiful view."Beautiful, isn't it?" I heard Alfred ask behind me, I could feel his breath against my neck. That's how close he was.I sucked in a breath as I moved away and turned to him."It is, maybe it was the perfect choice,"He smiled, tucking his hands in his pocket as he accessed the vast plain land."Not maybe, it was the perfect choice,"."Cocky much?" I snickered, and he chuckled."I can already see the resort standing beautiful here," he sighed, and I nodded."Common, we have a lot to do before we leave," he added.We spent the rest of the afternoon analysing the condition of the site and looking around, taking note of any
