Lucky Yet So Unlucky In Love Chapter 5 (Part 1)
“You must be joking. You never owned a club.”Despite the strong punch of embarrassment I feel deep in my guts, I still force myself to play it cool.There's no way that Bryce will ever be allowed to witness me in my other versions. He's only allowed to witness the fierce version of me. The version of me that he can't read; the version of me that he had known for years.He's my competition. He has always been my competition. It has to stay that way.“Woman, do I look like joking to you? Am I laughing? Did I even utter something funny? No, right?” He smirks at me. And even if the whole club is only lit by the playful colorful lights, I can see every inch of his lips and the boastful attack it tends to hit me. “It's been years, Aurella. Do you think that you're still aware of everything?” I remain on my ground. He's not deserving of the words that come out of my mouth. “Everything has changed. For me, and for you too.” I don't like the way he's speaking. The tone he's using sounds like

The noise coming from my alarm clock invades both of my ears and it results in making me groan. I always forget to set my alarm clock to wake me up a little later than the usual time. And who else is here to blame? No one, but me. I used to get up very early and start my day energetically even before the clock strikes 7 am. But that was before. I constantly have to remind myself that everything has changed. Even the slightest detail included in my morning routine. I reach out for the alarm clock on the bedside table to turn it off. And then I bury my face back into the soft pillows as I try to inwardly convince myself to do all the plans I made last night. I have a strong feeling that I will fail and disappoint those plans. Right now, every part of my body agrees to the idea of staying in bed even for the whole day. Laziness has now taken its finest and ultimate form. I fear that I wouldn't be able to conquer it. But since I'm not a kid anymore, I choose to climb off of my bed. Usi

"Break up with him." Confusion instantly reigns Liv's system. She looks at me with a frown. "What? What do you mean? Are you out of your mind? My mother will kill me." Right, her mother will kill her. They were fixed; they were fixed since college. "You're the one out of your mind, Liv. He has been controlling since we were nineteen, yet here you are. Still letting him control you like it's a job that lasts forever." Liv takes a sip of her iced coffee as her eyes look outside the glass window instead. Avoiding my slight glare, and probably gaslighting herself that I'm wrong. We're now in an expensive and exclusive café. Quite far from the heart of the city to avoid the people who will probably die if they can't take a picture of us. "He's my fiancé now. You know that. I can't just back out like we didn't spend years of being together in a relationship. And you know too that I love him. He owns me, Aurella." Why does that sound like Amir has finally mastered the art of manipula

“Can you befriend Bryce for me?” I plaster my best smile in front of him. But even though it's my best smile, I know it looks the opposite of it.“Befriend Bryce? Bryce who? Bryce Tryst?” He is somehow... confused.“Yeah,” I inwardly tell myself to erase the pretentious smile on my lips. It almost felt like I was tearing my own self apart. “Bryce Tryst.” I know that I have to look down for a moment because I feel like I'm being filled with so much shame right now. But to be honest, the amount of confidence that I hold right now is unbelievable though.I don't want to pay someone else to do this for me. I just need someone obsessed with me who's willing to do everything for me. And there's no one else who's super obsessed with me but Vincent. Only Vincent Percival.“That doesn't sound like a simple favor for me. It sounds like it has something else. Like, a hidden agenda maybe? Or maybe I'm wrong.”“Sketchy, I know. But I don't know what to do anymore, I'm losing my mind.”Am I serious

Vincent and I found our way back to the dressing room. And the first thing that came out of his mouth are the questions that he's holding back since earlier.“What do you want me to do?”Even though I thought that it would be easy to make him do my bidding, I still don't think that it is this easy. I barely did my best on making him think that it's just an innocent favor. He knows damn well that I'm up to something. But despite him knowing what I'm trying to do, he still let his obsession over me takes control of him.“What do you mean?” I ask back, playing innocent.“Oh, come on, Aurella. Don't act like I don't know you. I've also heard gossips from people before. Street says you like buying people to do things for you in a very reasonable price. A price that, well, reasonable enough to keep their mouths shut.”I roll my eyes at him. I can't deny anything that he said. It's not because I don't want to, but because every word he spit out was true. It's an old habit, but if I didn't do

After I arrive at my jewelry store, my secretary immediately informs me that I have an incoming meeting with my board of directors. The said meeting will happen after lunch, so I will leave my store again to eat lunch and then head to the building of my company.“Thanks, Rina.” I thank Rina before leaving my office. I only had a couple of seconds here and then I set off again to get myself lunch.Driving through the city, I pass by any other restaurants that offer well-known and healthy dishes in Chicago. It's been a long time since I let myself eat foods that are not advisable for models.With that, I stop in my favorite fast-food chain that I plan to eat at my office in the building. The meeting wouldn't start without me. Of course, they will have to wait. I am the CEO after all.“Enjoy your food, ma'am!” I sweetly smiled at the lady that handed me my food. I quickly storm out of the place the moment that I got done dealing with the lady at the counter. I can say that I'm lucky enou

“What the fuck are you saying, Kevin?” I know damn well that I heard every word that slipped out of his lips. But I want him to repeat everything all over again for my system to start accepting and analyzing it. “Bryce Tryst had once again successfully ambushed you, Aurella.” There. There it is. He said it straight to the point, and it feels like a strong slap on both of my cheeks. Strong enough to leave a red mark in the shape of a hand. “Ambushed me? Kevin, you must be kidding me. There's no way that Bryce did it again, and once again so effortlessly.” My eyebrows arch as my eyes dart into his. If Bryce is releasing a collection of engagement rings, then someone in this building or someone who works for me has betrayed me. “Aurella, I understand. And we both know that this is not the first time that something like this had happened.” I roll my eyes at him, “Well, clearly, someone betrayed me again. Stabbed me in the back and twisted the knife with no hesitations at all.” I do

Vincent quickly separates himself from me when the elevator opens and reveals a man in front of us. He clears his throat as the man proceeds to walk inside the elevator. And when his back is on us, Vincent looks at me naughtily with a small smirk formed by his lips. Judging by his looks, he doesn't seem like he just finger-fucked me and did it smoothly and confidently. I can't think of the exact reason why, but there is something about men that feels like a natural skill when it comes to wanting to touch women. It's like, it's a part of their nature to be an expert towards it. They know what to do and they know how to do it. I mean, some men out there can't even find the right habit that they're good at, but extremely skillful when it comes to romancing a woman. I guess they're all just self-taught. It might be the reason why such porn videos exist on the internet. As the elevator moves up, the silence continues to reign on us. It must be a torture for him not having the capabilit

"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
