“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

  • Lucky Yet So Unlucky In Love    Chapter 33 (Part 1)

    Inside my head, I can hear a weak voice trying its best to be heard. It's telling me, ‘Girl, you are up to no good. It's a bad idea!’But whatever shit it’ll try to tell me, I know that I won’t listen, and I will no longer be convinced by something so little that I know wouldn’t ruin my career.This is not a good time to lay back and relax.Instead, this is the right time to show everyone that in an industry dominated by power-hungry men, the only worthy one for the top spot is a woman.I ignore the doubts starting to creep behind my mind. I want to celebrate, and that’s the only thing I want to be done tonight.Working for such a long time is the most draining shit that anyone can endure. Celebrating for once and a while for a little work done is the kind of reward that I want to give myself. Starting this day, it’s going to be like that. I realized that I’m no different from the people that don’t get tired from scrutinizing every move that I make.I’m also cruel to myself, and I must

    "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'
