Lucky Yet So Unlucky In Love Chapter 14 (Part 2)
“What the fuck are you doing in Las Vegas?”That is the first thing that comes out of my mouth when I my brother called me early in the morning.I have just woken up from my sleep, and my dear brother here decided to make my phone ring.“Can you chill? It’s so early in the morning.”I roll my eyes as if he’s in front of me. “Exactly, it’s so early in the morning yet here we are. Why did you call, huh?”I hear my brother sigh over the phone as he pauses for seconds.“Nothing important, but I saw Vincent with Bryce. I didn’t know they’re friends. Did you?”“Yes, sort of. His circle of friends turns out to be including Vincent.”There is one thing about Trudy that I don’t really like. Once Vincent and Bryce are mentioned, his hidden creativity about making stories comes out effortlessly. Making it seem like the world revolves around me, and that this is a movie or some kind of a TV show.Something like the Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey.“Oh fuck, what if they are both plotting your do

After going to the gym, I took a little rest in my penthouse before taking a shower. Today is actually a little bizarre. When I went out, there was no paparazzi waiting for me. But certainly, there were a few fans that didn't find the courage to approach me. They just took pictures from a far, and it was instantly all over I*******m.I decided that today will all just be about work. I went to my jewelry store, and I read some files and reports about this month’s sales.My secretary then handed me some papers that I need to sign for the payslips of my employees and other workers. I also provided lunch for them that were all ordered from Clara’s. After lunch, I mingled with the customers and took pictures with them. People then started to hover around my store, and less than an hour, they filled the whole place. Some were only inside to take pictures with me, and some also had purchased jewelries on their own designs.I had a little chitchat with the customers before I bid goodbye.Bef

“Aurella! It's so nice to see you again! Why didn't you call me when you were back?”Oh, great. Here we go again.I simply glance at Kevin if he's seeing what's happening right now.The meeting with my team and the board of directors is now done. And now, it is time to gather the designer that are willing to work for our company.But shit hell, I didn't expect Teresa to be here.“Oh, I'm sorry. It's must've slipped my mind. But hey, you were one of the people that I would like to work with again.”Geez, not true. I am totally lying right now. Everyone that knows me very well know that I hate Teresa of all the people that I want to work with. There is nothing to deny about the fact that she's very creative, and her designs are well-known for being elegant and attractive. But it's her personality that's making me want to end any connection I have with her.If I could, I would even forget that she exists.“Girl, I missed you. I missed working with you, I missed your attitude, and I misse

I watch the three of them sign the contracts with a contented look on their faces.“There we are. Congratulations! All of you are a part of our team now.” Kevin congratulates the designers with a warm smile formed by his lips.When their eyes shift to look at me, I beam at them too. “You won't regret it, I promise.” I shake their hands one by one as Earl and Sylvia nod their heads.Only Teresa is not acting like she's very grateful for this.Teresa covers our binded hands with her other hand, “I'm lucky to be working with you again, Aurella. Just like always, I will give my best.”I nod at her to show my approval to what she said.“Now, you can go with Kevin to check your own workspaces here in the building. So, that you choose which suits you best. Don't worry, your workspaces are away from distractions.” That is the last thing I said as they all arrange the chairs they were sitting on.Kevin then guides them all outside to head to their said workspaces.And then, I am left alone.“W

As I prepare for my dinner, I turn on the television to watch my favorite show that I keep on forgetting to watch.Ironic, right? Favorite show, yet I keep on skipping it every night.Well, not tonight. And also, I can’t blame myself for not tuning on it for several nights. I have been busy regarding my own personal life that I sometimes consider as my own TV series.My life is enough to keep me, and my fans entertained. That’s what I’m saying.For tonight’s dinner, I decided to settle on eating something healthy and low on carbs. Now, that I accepted the deal that my manager just told me about earlier, I have to keep an eye on what I’m consuming. I almost forgot how strict I should be when it comes to my eating routine and my diet. These days, I have been eating a lot of carbs that I keep on excluding in the not-good-for-me foods group.These days, I just kept on following my gut on what I want to eat. For short, cravings.Tonight, I cooked a one-pot coconut fish curry. I realized th

“You have to be there on time, Aurella. Promise me that you won't be late.”Matthew is smiling at me ear to ear. He is talking about the contract signing which will happen this afternoon.“Of course, I won't be late. When was the last time I was late?” I have this mischievous smile formed by my lips because I know damn well that I am sometimes late.Matthew rolls his eyes at me. “Darling, you have been late for several times. You're lucky that you're one of the best of your field.”“Exactly. They need me and my popularity, so, they'll wait for me.”Matthew gives me one last gesture of his attitude before leaving me alone in the table that we both occupied.I decided to talk to him about the agreement with Calvin Klein here at Clara's. Because I knew that it will take us a very long time to tackle it that lunchtime just a little later.And with that, Conrad will be here any moment now. I will wait until he notifies me.Sitting alone, I can feel that there are pairs of eyes looking at m

“Are you sure you want me to call off the strings I pulled for you? You don't want to prevent Bryce from releasing your original sketches?”Conrad is enjoying and savoring his bourbon steak so much. All the munching and chewing is making him sound a little muffled. His mouth is almost filled.He is enjoying his food. While me? No.I am uncertain if this is going to be good or bad regarding my diet.“Yup. I just think that there's nothing else we can do. Just let him release it. It's all his, I don't want it back.”I eat my steak in thin slices, and the way that I'm eating is somehow able to trigger Conrad. For him, I'm torturing myself. I mentioned that I was hungry earlier, but I didn't expect that he ordered steak for the both of us.“Aurella, just eat. When was the last time we went out like this?”Oh, there goes the gaslighting.“I totally don't remember at all.” I reply as I take a sip of my pineapple juice.He's having Coca-Cola while I stick to my pineapple juice.“It's been ye

“Tilt your head a little bit, and give me a fierce look but not that type that makes you look like you're trying so hard.”In all of the photographers that I have encountered, this one right here has my favor.I like him. I don't know why.“Perfect.” He smiles, “Now, strike a pose of how you interpret boredom with your body.”It has been two days since I signed the agreement that Calvin Klein prepared for me. They sent me a lot of things that I get to keep, and they also gave me a huge amount of money in my bank account.And now, here I am. Doing the photoshoot; wearing their underwear products for women.As usual, some of the photos will be black and white.Classic Calvin Klein.But I couldn't argue though, I like the black and white aesthetic sometimes.“It's time for the sexy and edgy vibe that you were talking about earlier.” He jokingly said, but he's only hyping me up.That's what my gut is telling me.Besides the photographer taking pictures of me right now, there are also othe

"Good morning, Kevin. Why are you grinning like that?"Kevin opens the door for me as we both enter my office.Last night was somehow special to me, but it definitely had to end. I have work for the next day, and so I went home to get some sleep.Hell, I only had a few hours of sleep. I made it in my penthouse around 2 o'clock in the morning."You could never guess." The grin on Kevin's face is now matched with his voice that sounds like he's about to drop a bomb before me.Usually, when he's like this, I always end up getting good news that makes me day. So, I don't feel nervous about it because I need something to motivate me do loads of work.But can't he just tell me?"Of course, I could never guess. But can you just spill the beans for me?" I sit on my swivel chair, and he settles himself on the chair in front of my table.He's still grinning like an idiot."You haven't checked your phone yet, didn't you?" Oh, now he's taunting me."To be honest with you, I didn't have the time t

“So, how cruel is life to you lately?” Heide pours me a glass of champagne that my head tells me to decline. But I've had enough declining, so I'm taking this one.Just this one.“I would say about forty percent. I mean, you know. Same old shit. I disappeared for five years, and now that I have come back, nothing much has really changed. I just feel stronger now.” She hands me the tulip glass and I accept it with my gut bubbling in excitement.I really missed drinking liquor.“You're still loaded with work?” She takes a sip of her champagne.I nod, “Yeah.”“And there's still a problem with your Uncle Naveen?”“Uh-huh.”“Still no long-time lover?”“Yes, positive. Still no long-time lover.”I can see that she's having trouble believing me, but at the same time I know that she trusts me. I don't know how to put in words, but that's how she looks right now with her frowning and with her eyes squinting at me.“Why is it so hard for you to find a lover?”I know that she's seriously asking m

“Call me when you can, okay? Update me about the family dinner.”I swear to God, I want to roll my eyes every time I say ‘family dinner’.“Sure. But maybe I'll be in Vegas next week. So... let's update each other, I guess?”Harvey laughs after saying his goodbye as he enters his car. I wave my hand at him, and then I also climb into my car after I watched his disappear.We had a long conversation that it took us a long time to finally get to the part where goodbyes are said. If I didn't mention that I have to drive my ass all the way to Heide’s place, I don't think he'll even think of going home.But I'm glad that he will chase the love of his life.The woman surely doesn't want to be found, but Harvey is doing everything to find her. And I doubt that he won't find her since Harvey does have a lot of connections to deal with situations like this.Well, I have nothing left to say. But to wish them both good luck.Dear Destiny, kindly give my brother and my cousins their deserved happy

"What are you talking about, Harvey? He can't do that. He doesn't have the authority."Harvey starts to massage his forehead as he rest his head on the couch. It's clear that he's already stressed enough about it, yet I'm still adding more to it. Making it worse for him.Well, how the hell should I react? He can't expect me to be happy regarding this shitty information."That's what I thought too, but I guess the whole family decided to give him that authority since his one and only son is finally back."What? Uncle Naveen's son is back?Oh hell, what is happening?"So, it's going to be a dinner dedicated for his son? Welcoming him? Is that it?"The audacity. Uncle Naveen couldn't be more shameless. He's a thick face, and I don't understand why the whole family would just let him have things his way.And now, I'm certain that it's going to be hell for all of us because his son will definitely add more fuel to the fire.His son is an exact carbon copy of him. We used to get along with h

“What?!”As much as I want to, I can't contain the sudden attack of surprise within me.After assisting the girls earlier, I went straight to my office to call my friends. And now, we're all face timing each other.“Yes, Aurella! You heard me right. Now, what are we going to do?”It must've been God's plan to urge me to call my girls. If I didn't, I wouldn't know that Heide is now out of prison.“How is that possible? I mean, wasn't she sentenced for like a decade?”I'm not certain how long she's supposed to be in prison, but I didn't expect her to be out this early. She must've used a huge amount of money to be out.God. That woman and the power she holds.“I don't know anything about it too. But yeah, it's like she was sentenced for a decade or more.” Liv's voice is quiet and calm, but I can still sense that we all share the feeling of being afraid.There's no reason for us to be afraid. After all, Heide is our friend for such a long time. But after what she's done to Conrad, I don'

“She’s so secretive, and sometimes it makes me wonder how those two suddenly found their way to each other and became a couple.”This woman beside me is now spilling too much information that I’m unaware of if I’m even allowed to know it.I haven’t even moved past the fact that Bryce Tryst has a girlfriend, and this woman here decided to blabber on and on.“Their relationship is so private that they can’t be seen together in public. My friend said she feels like Bryce is hiding her, but somehow, she was able to shrug it out of her system. He showers her lavish gifts though.”It doesn’t feel like she’s here with me to buy an engagement ring anymore. A little bit of this TMI chat, I will start felling like Bryce hired her to pester me today.But why would he? The hell I care if he has a girlfriend.“I mean, what else is there to need, right? If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t even feel like my boyfriend is hiding me. I will feel like I’m single instead, and I’m undeniably rich. How good

After all the interactions that I have made with the customers, I finally get to head to my office to have a short rest. It’s quite draining to entertain people, and sometimes people on the internet tend to forget that.They tend to forget that celebrities are also humans. We also get tired.“What’s that?” Instead of greeting Rina, a question gets ahead of me with my interest being caught by the bouquet of white roses on my table.“Oh, someone sent this for you, ma’am.” Rina is in between of keeping her smile or letting it show because it’s starting to creep in. She’s losing to herself because I can see that she’s also intrigued.“There’s a card in between the flowers, but all I saw was the name of the receiver.” She hides her face by covering it with her hand. But before she can even fully hide it from me, my eyes already saw that she’s blushing.“Let me kill your curiosity for you, Rina.” I chuckle, as I walk to my table to see the card myself.My hand quickly picks up the card that

“He lied to you, Unique. I wouldn't use you to forget her.”Lucas is standing in front of me, and both of his hands are making gestures as he continue to talk. I sit comfortably on my swivel chair; convincing myself not to take every word out of his mouth too seriously.I was about to do make an ‘anonymous’ agreement with the people that Bryce has transactions with. But then, this man showed up.“I know that I should've told you from the very beginning. But I thought that it would be more fragile if I mention her name to you.”Yeah, right. More fragile, my ass. He's kind of making a point, and I know that I will instantly flinch once he mentions her name. But I still do think that it might've been better if he told me as early as it can be.Because right now, I can't think of any good reason why he wants to make it up to me this time.Nothing as good as his aim to show her that he's better with me.“I'm sor—”“Why don't we talk about this later?

When the phone call with Vincent ended, I didn’t waste any second and changed back into the dress that I was wearing earlier. I returned the robe to where I took it from, and I gathered my things before silently leaving the hotel room.There’s a part of me telling me that I shouldn’t trust Vincent, but how else would he know about Lucas’ girl best friend? How else would he know about Dahna’s sister? If it’s a trick created by Bryce and Vincent, at least it helped me to separate myself from Lucas.It helped me realize that Lucas will never be mine.As I wait for the elevator to open, I start to type a message for Kevin regarding the first thing that we will be doing tomorrow. Lucas had already brought too much baggage in me, and now that I know about his hidden motives, I am willingly putting distance between us. I need to focus on what I must do, and what I must not do.I can’t promise to myself that I will never be fooled again, but I will try my best. Knowing that once I start givin
