2025-03-03 07:00:18That evening, Roxanne was still trying to work out the task given to her by Ciel.
She was neck deep into it and didn't realize he was standing close to her.She jolted to consciousness when he coughed slightly to get her attention.She was surprised to see him.“You said you wanted control over your life, isn't it?” Ciel said quietly. “You seem quite serious about it.”“Why are you here?” Roxanne finally asked him as she kept her expression neutral.“Well, I would like you to put a pause on what you are doing and work on this.” He said as he gave her a folder. “There is a socialite in our circle. Vivienne Montclair.”“She's highly connected, and influential, and…” Roxanne could see something like amusement in his eyes.“And?” She asked as she arched her eyebrows.“And she is presently interfering in a business deal that concerns me. I would like you to convince her to step back without it causing

Roxanne could not find any comfort in Sebastien's estate since she came because she had been thinking about her brother.She had not seen him since her sudden marriage to Ciel and had no idea what was going on with him.That morning, she was scrolling through her phone, trying to focus but the tightness in her chest would not let her.A sense of unease has been eating her up since she woke up.Reading through the message on her phone, she could not be at rest.“Roxanne, this is Finn's nurse. Your brother is not doing so well. I thought you should know. He has been asking for you, but your step mother…she will not let us get across to you directly.”It was from an unknown number.Finn.Her little brother.Her only family, who had never betrayed her.She stood up from her seat immediately. Her heart raced so fast as she held her phone tightly.She need to see him.She need to ma

Roxanne was in the car, heading back to the Sebastien mansion.There should have been a form of relief for her, going back to her husband's mansion.But she felt hollow.Her earlier confrontation with Evelyn was still fresh in her mind. Her cruel words are heavy on her chest.“You chose wealth over your family.”The guilt was coming to her mind, regardless of how she tried to keep it off.Then the car stopped at the mansion's entrance.A butler came forward to open the door, but Roxanne was quick to do that, stepping out on time.She walked briskly inside the mansion, her steps heavy.She needs time to think.And to breathe.To…“You were quick”A deep voice jolted her to consciousness of her environment.She turned to see Ciel standing in the doorway, his silver blue eyes looking at her with deep scrutiny.His expression was neutral.She he

At a ballroom, people were glowing under the light of the crystal chandeliers, as different scents mixed together.The elites in New York had come together, dressed to impress and also to Converse, mostly with ulterior motives.Roxanne was already getting used to these kinds of gatherings. But tonight, something felt off.There was this tension in the air, something she could not quite place.Her husband was beside her with his tailored black suit enhancing his sharp features.His presence commanded respect, and yet, she could feel that even he was on guard tonight.She stood close to him more, as she looked around.That was when she saw them.Devian and Reina.She felt fidgety but tried to remain calm. She can't let them see her like that.Ciel turned his head slightly when he noticed her attitude. “Relax,” he said quietly. “They are not worth your sweat.”She did not reply.

The following day, Roxanne sat on the big bed with her hands fitted into fists on her lap.The earlier events pressed down on her like an heavy weight. It was suffocating.The experience left her a bit shaken. She wondered what would have happened if Ciel had not stopped her from drinking from that cup at the event.Ciel was standing by the window across the room. His figure was outlined against the city skyline. His hand was in his pockets, but his wife could see that he was tensed.The silence between them was thick.After awhile, he finally asked.“Who did it?”She did not say anything, but it is obvious he was thinking of something.It was clear he wanted names, and answers. But above all, he wanted revenge.She breathed in and out, trying to look at him as he turned around.His eyes looked dangerous.“To be honest, I do not know.” She said with a steady voice. “And even if I knew,

The next day, Ciel took the day off work to go through some documents in his private study.He looked through the documents with his sharp eyes, feeling anger with every word he read. The truth he came to know from the documents was worse than he had initially imagined.The documents have been carefully gathered by Alex, his assistant. It contained everything about Roxanne's mother, Eleanor Renwick, who left her fortune to her two children, Roxanne and Finn.She had been thorough in her will. The wealth was meant to secure her children's future.But now, they may not be able to see a single dollar.Their father had stolen everything.He had lied to the court to forge documents, and channelled the money into secret accounts.Every single part of their inheritance had been taken away, and diverted to support Reina.Ciel felt bad as he thought of everything. Roxanne had grown up thinking she was unwanted and powerless.

At the office, Ciel's mind raced as he thought of many things. He had been thinking of Derek Renwick.The man who had taken everything from his wife, Roxanne. He confiscated her mother's fortune, which was meant to secure Roxanne's future, and that of her brother.And now, Derek had been living in wealth, from the proceeds of the inheritance meant for Roxanne, and her brother.Compared to his family, the inheritance isn't much. That's why they wanted to marry into his family initially, but it's still Roxanne's to begin with. She should not have been stripped off of it.He felt anger towards Derek.A soft knock made him conscious of his environment again.“Come in,” he answered.His ever dependable assistant, Alex, walked in with another folder in his hands. He put it on the desk in the office.“Our investigation is complete, sir,” the assistant said.“It is a lot worse than we thought.”

At the Renwick corporation headquarters, there were reporters, shareholders, and some high profile guests.There had been some rumours making rounds lately, about some secret investigations, financial troubles, and failing projects. Everyone wanted clarification, and tonight, Derek was going to make a public appearance to clear the air.When it was time, he stood tall behind a podium. He was dressed in a very nice and well tailored suit, bringing out his sharp features. He started talking after he adjusted the microphone with a calm expression.“I understand there have been some concerns regarding my company's stability,” he said with a smooth voice. “Let me make one thing clear, Renwick corporation is stronger than it has ever been. The recent setbacks are nothing but temporary blocks. We are rising.”The crowd didn't appear totally convinced but they still nodded in approval.“And to those spreading rumors and lies,

One morning at Sebastien's mansion, Roxanne was sitting on one of the leather chairs, sipping her coffee as she thought about Ciel. For the past few days, she could sense some change in his behaviors.The man who always teases her, seemed to have grown distant right before her eyes.He told her he would not let them harm her again but it was looking like it was more than that.“What is bothering you, Ciel?” She finally asked him, trying to stop the silence between them.He was sitting across from her with a tense face. He did not answer immediately she spoke to him. Instead, he focused on the documents in his hand, going through them with a slow and deliberate move.He finally placed the documents on the desk and looked at her.With a low voice, he said. “There is something about your family that I found out about. Especially your mother.”Her heart pounded in her chest. Sitting upright, she asked. “What is tha

Behind Ciel, Roxanne's heart was pounding so fast in her chest.She could not say if it was from when Ciel had confessed his love to her or a reaction to the sudden sound of rustling leaves in the distance.For a moment before the interruption, she was already set to give him an answer. She needed to admit to herself finally what she had understood and known for a while now.Which is the fact that she had also fallen for him completely.But before she could have done that, they heard the rustling sound and Ciel's protective nature had kicked in instinctively.He had shielded her from the possible danger with his body, and from whatever that may be hiding in the woods.“Stay behind me.” He said with a low and firm voice.She nodded, as her fingers gripped his sleeve subconsciously.She was not afraid of whatever that was in the forest, atleast.Her fear was the emotions within her heart, a truth of her life she needed to confront all this while.Some few seconds that appeared like minu

The city noise was gentle around them as Roxanne stood, facing Ciel, who was still smirking.She smiled at him too after his answer.She knew he was also hesitant to give a direct answer.And although she knew the right answer to all the questions she was asking him, she just wanted him to say it.The evening air was blowing against their body.They had a nice and lovely dinner. It had been warm, and intimate in a way she had not expected. The same feeling goes for Ciel.After the dinner, they had decided to walk around a bit with no particular reason or destination in mind.It was strange to her how everything had felt natural between them for a while now.He looked at her, his hands were inside the pockets of his trousers.He had stopped smirking.“You are quiet.”It was her turn to smirk.“You say that like it's something bad.”“No, no, it's not bad.” He said.“It is just unusual. You always have something to say. But silence does not look good on you.”She scoffed, playfully nudgi

It was evening period the day Roxanne finally finished the training she had been undergoing under one of Ciel's associate.She was now fully prepared for all the turns of corporate life.She inhaled as she held her shirt tighter around her shoulders.The past few weeks had been time consuming for her.It was focused on refining her skills, mastering the art of negotiation in business, and also sharpening her ability to take charge as the leader that she is with a solid confidence.She had been receptive towards the teaching and had worked tirelessly to understand how the intricate business world works, it's politics and the power plays that goes on.Every session of the training had pushed her further, breaking down her old self and rebuilding her into a stronger woman.A bit too strong.But now, she is done with it.She had completed every single one of the training.But as she stepped out of the building she was in, there was this unexpected feeling in her chest, lingering there as

She looked at her mother as she smirked.She could not determine what was going through her mind.She had just told her she needed to be smarter about the way she approaches things, especially when it concerns Roxanne.And she realized she was right.At this point, the whole family is in a mess, all because everything they tried to do to make Roxanne feel like shit ended up elevating her, and they are put to shame.Her mother too was staring back at her with a smirk and for a moment, it felt like both of them were in a battle to know who stares harder.Finally, she said.“Before we proceed with whatever it is that we would do later on, I want you to know that I was deeply disappointed with what you did at the competition though.”She sighed.“The consequences of what you have done may take some time before it goes away.”Reina's heart raced with different emotions.She felt ashamed as she listened to Evelyn speak.The words got to her and it took great composure not to have cried at t

After Martha had left, she was left alone in the big mansion with her thoughts.Asides her domestic staff, she was the only one at home and due to that, there was lots of quiet.However, the heavy silence was pressing down on her like a big stone as she relaxed on the sofa in the living room.She grabbed the glass she was drinking from earlier and gulped down the wine inside it, as she replayed what Martha said about her daughter over and over again in her mind.The fact she came to her home to mock her about it made the whole thing stung.This would not have happened if Reina had not been irrational, and had just listened to her.She had told her not to do anything irrational, else she would not be there to help clean up her mess.But she had not listened.Even the mess she had gotten herself into was something even she, her mother, can not even help her from if she wanted to.Martha had had a smirk on that had been meant to subtly let her know how much of a failure she was as a moth

Evelyn Renwick, the wife of Derek Renwick sat in her living, sipping from a glass of wine. Her grand space had lovely lights all over, but the beauty of her surrounding could not help her sour mood. The news about Roxanne's rise to fame and power had not passed her by. Not a day goes by that she does not read about her exploits on the internet.
