"What are you doing here?" She smiled without replying and then sat down and crossed her legs.
"I was in town so I thought I'll pop by and see you."
I clenched my jaw, a common habit that I tend to do when I feel annoyed, but Aria's unexpected arrival today was making me feel more than that. We had broken up 5 months ago and we have no business together anymore and plus, I think I had removed her contact details from my phone a long time ago yet I still can't figure out the real reason she's here. That's just how she is, always unpredictable. She eyed the watch sitting in front of me and quickly grabbed it before I had the chance to take it and keep it safely under my desk. She stared at the watch with interest, like a cat slowly observing th

Shay's POVAfter showering, I strolled to my walk-in closet to put some clothes on and then later watch a movie before going to bed. My phone suddenly vibrates from a message and I quickly checked it out and I smiled to myself when I saw that it was a goodnight text from Jason. I quickly texted him back and then slipped my phone in my robe pocket and that's when I saw my safe sitting on the other side of the room. The thought about the files I kept inside suddenly popped into my mind and I quickly went towards the safe and unlocked it before taking the files and the USB drive out. I placed it on top of the safe and then quickly changed into more comfortable clothes before grabbing the files again and sat on top of my bed and spread out each file in front of me. I grabbed my laptop from on top of my nightstand and opened it and inserted the drive in. I'll go throug

Shay's POVThe next morning, I started to get ready to meet up with Aria Langford in town. She had texted me earlier this morning the place where we would meet, it was a popular café that I know of that I usually go to with some of my friends. Even when she's requesting to meet at somewhere in public and she's going to tell me some things about Jason, I still have this weird feeling that I got from last night after our phone call. It's so weird and very unsettling but Jason is the only man in my life that I've ever been in love with, so if there are some things about him that I should be aware of even when he can't tell me, I guess learning about a few things from his ex-girlfriend won't hurt at all. Though it's pretty annoying.I wore a dark red silky top with thin spagh

Shay's POVI woke up in the morning by the sound of rain falling heavily outside. With the weather like this, I was feeling uncertain to meet with Jason's mom today but when I checked my phone, she said to still come over because she wanted to see me before she leaves town this evening. I did my usual morning routine and then got dressed before going downstairs for breakfast. I was informed by one of the maids after I sat at the table that my parents had already ate breakfast and they left to attend a business meeting together. I felt happy after knowing that, at least now I can have my breakfast in peace.After having my breakfast, I got into my car and drove to town. The rain was now drizzling lightly and I pulled up in front of a flower shop and quickly hurried inside and bou
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 42
Jason's POVI couldn't understand why she's acting that way and when she walked away I knew something was wrong and since she was with my mom earlier, something must've happened. I jogged towards the lift and furiously pressed the button on the side. When the doors finally opened a minute later, I went in and pressed the floor button to my penthouse. Did she argue about something with mom? No, I highly doubt that. Mom loves her so she can't argue about anything with her. Then what happened?The doors opened and I jogged into the living room and looked around for her."Mom?" I loudly called out. She suddenly appeared with a vase of white roses and smiled at me before placing the vase on top of the coffee table in t

~1 WEEK LATER~Shay's POVBad things always happen, people try to forget and move on and that's actually what I kept reminding myself when Monday finally comes around. Since it's my first day at work, I decided to try a new change. My mom called her team of hairdressers and makeup artists to be here early in the morning and they did a whole makeover to me. Since my hair is naturally straight and long, they trimmed it right up to my shoulders and curled it. I told them to change my makeup to something darker to emphasize boldness and by the time they were done, I barely recognized myself and that was a good thing. I wore my new outfit that I bought the other day, which was a black pencil skirt and a light thin strap top along with a black long blazer.

Jason's POVAfter my meeting that was scheduled at 11am, I went back to my office and started to read the client's file that Shelby's secretary had given me. Mr. Kolinsky seems like a very big deal to Shelby since she gave me this job to handle it for them because she can't. She must've known that I have a very good persuasive skill which is why she gave me this small task to start off with our new partnership deal. A knock sounded from the door and I looked up as Sylvia walks in."Mr. Cartwright?""Yes?""There was a call from Falcon Group and they want you to be there at a 12:30 meeting to discuss the new deal with their cosmetic project." I frown
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 45
Jason's POVIt was already past five thirty in the afternoon that I finally decided to escape from my office to get some fresh air outside. My employees had already retired for the day and Sylvia was the last one to leave and I'm now the only one still wandering at work. Before she left, I asked her to get me two bottles of Corona and to call Chase to come see me at the company. I took the two bottles of beer with me to the rooftop and I just stared at the city below me while drinking one bottle and keeping the other one for Chase. I waited and watched till the sun starts to set and the city started to get enveloped by darkness and multiple lights start to light up everywhere. The lights around the rooftop starts to turn on as well, probably done by one of the security guards on duty downstairs in the lobby.
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 46
Shay's POVI don't remember how I got back home last night or even how I got into my bed, but one thing for sure is that, vodka gives a mean hangover. I stripped myself out of bed and clutched my head as I groaned all the way to the bathroom to get ready. After showering, my head felt a little better and I slowly get dressed to head to work. My outfit for today was a blood red jumpsuit with thin straps and a white blazer. I put my hair up in a ponytail leaving two thick hair locks out to frame my face and then I did my makeup. I slipped on my white heels and then grabbed my handbag before leaving my room to go downstairs and have breakfast.To my surprise, Shelby was already there at the table having breakfast alone. She seems to enjoy coming home very often now that she's using

As I sit here, reflecting on the whirlwind of events that have unfolded in my life, it's hard to believe how much has changed in such a short span of time. Traveling, modeling, and chasing my dreams have taken on a whole new meaning. Vincent, with his enigmatic presence, crashed into my world like a silent storm, shaking up everything I thought I knew. And truth be told, I'm grateful for that unexpected collision.Before Vincent entered the picture, my life revolved around two things: traveling and my modeling career. I was passionate about both, but I had always approached them with a certain level of detachment, keeping myself at arm's length from truly embracing the experiences that lay before me. I was lost in a robotic existence, constantly pushing myself beyond my limits to maintain an illusion of perfection, covering up the cracks within me, all for the sake of fame and the spotlight.But Vincent ch

The warmth of the sun embraced us, enveloping Vincent and me in its gentle caress. Vincent lay beside me, still sound asleep, his features relaxed and tranquil.

The tantalizing aromas filled the air, creating an ambiance that complemented our growing connection. As we savored each bite, the conversation naturally drifted towards my modeling career, sparked by Vincent's genuine curiosity."So tell me," Vincent began, his eyes filled with intrigue, "how long have you been modeling?"A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I reminisced about my journey."It's been three years now," I replied. "Ever since I stepped foot onto the runway for the first time, I knew I had found my passion. Modeling allows me to express

Sunlight streamed through the open windows, casting a warm glow on the colorful array of clothing before me. Tonight is my date with Vincent, and I wanted to look my absolute best. However, as I scanned the rows of clothes, doubt crept into my mind.What the hell should I wear?Beatrice lay sprawled on the bed, engrossed in a fashion magazine. Her big blue eyes glanced up, catching my reflection in the mirror."Hey, Bea," I called out, hoping she could provide some much-needed guidance."Any thoughts on wh

Shanelle POVAs I sat behind the wheel of my car, driving down the bustling city streets, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Vincent. It had been two long days since we had last seen each other, those fleeting moments when he and Dan dropped us off at our hotel, leaving without much of a goodbye. Yet, despite the brevity of our encounter, I couldn't shake him from my thoughts.Did he think of me too? Was he caught in a whirlwind of memories and emotions just as I was? These questions tumbled through my mind, blending with the cacophony of car horns and the distant hum of city life. The uncertainty gnawed at me, twisting my heart in knots. I longed for answers, for a connection that I hoped went beyond a mere chance encounter.My destination, the prestig
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 10
Shanelle POVI stepped into the safe house, the familiar scent of home welcoming me. The adrenaline from the day's events was finally subsiding as I closed the door behind me. We had made it back safely, and a sense of relief washed over me. My muscles ached from the physical exertion and tension, and I couldn't wait to let go of the weight that had been pressing on me.After a quick glance around the dimly lit living room, I made my way towards the bedroom. The hot water of the shower embraced me, washing away the grime and leaving me refreshed. I changed into fresh clothes, relishing the feeling of comfort they brought. With a deep breath, I stepped outside into the night air, making my way toward the pool.The sky stretched above me, a canvas of stars

Shanelle POVI sat on my bed the next morning, clutching my phone tightly in my hands. The screen displayed a seemingly never-ending stream of notifications, each one more anxiety-inducing than the last. My heart raced as I watched my video from the frat party trend across social media platforms. It was as if people couldn't get enough of it, sharing it from one corner of the internet to another. And with each share, a flood of comments and feedback poured in, all directed at me.I had worked so hard to maintain my "perfect" reputation. People saw me as a walking embodiment of flawlessness, and I had meticulously crafted that image. But now, this video threatened to expose the cracks in my carefully constructed facade. It made me feel vulnerable and exposed to the judgment of others, and it terrified me.
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 8
Shanelle POVAs the anticipation built up inside me, I glanced at the clock on my bedroom wall. It was already 9:00 p.m., and I hurriedly surveyed myself in the mirror, making sure every detail of my outfit was just right.I had opted for a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Its off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sophistication, while the knee-length skirt showcased a playful edge. I paired it with strappy heels that elongated my legs and completed the look with a statement necklace and a bold red lip. I couldn't help but feel confident in this ensemble.Beatrice and Kayleen burst into my room with equally limited excitement for tonight's mission or whatever they wanted to call it. They looked stunning in their own dis
