Resisting My Ex-Bully Let the Show Begin
JOSIE“Don't trip, don't trip, don't trip,” I muttered under my breath as I balanced on five-inch heels.The one-day high society survival camp Theresa had put me through paid off… or so I hoped. My hair had never looked more glamorous. My skin literally shone, and, for the first time in my life, everything within me seemed almost flawless. Of course, that was on the outside; my rattling insides were a completely different matter.Truthfully, I was terrified. I told Therese that going to Blair Digital during lunch hour was a terrible idea, but she only shook her head and laughed. “You'll be just fine, Josie,” she'd said then. “Besides, you need to practice. If you can't handle a few of your coworkers, how are you going to face a bunch of arrogant snobs?”She had a point. If I were to swim in the deep waters soon, I'd better start trying to float in the shallow waters first. So here I was—floating… sort of.My new appearance drew attention. I might not be dressed in screaming colors, b
Resisting My Ex-Bully The Next Step
Killian's words rang in my head long after our lunch had ended. He was right, though. I had crossed an invisible line. Signing that deal was something I would have never even considered doing just a month ago. I had been raised in the belief that breaking the rules was strictly forbidden and that those who broke them were to be punished. But that was not how the world was built.Over the years, I had seen it time and time again; some rules simply didn't apply to everyone. Those who were rich or knew the right people had privileges, while those like me… didn't. Also, the privileged ones were rarely punished for their deeds, even if those deeds were uniquely despicable. I painfully experienced it myself.Truthfully, I wasn't powerless either. As a teenager, I used to crack the codes and break into various systems for fun. I had the skills to bend some of the rules to my will, but since using my skills often required doing something illegal, I had thoroughly used them only once.I had br
Resisting My Ex-Bully A Bit of Happiness
My ex-boyfriend stared at me with widening eyes. Two other men who were with him in the elevator paid us no attention, too busy looking at their phone screens. They rushed past us, and a moment later, there was no one in the corridor aside from Dylan Steel and me.“What are you doing here?” he strained through his teeth while his eyes greedily traced every detail of my improved appearance.My shoulders moved in a faint shrug. “Working… or rather planning to, but I would need to get inside that elevator first,” I said, pointing at the car behind him.His brows rose, and an angry smirk appeared. “You got your job back?” The mockery in his voice was impossible to ignore.“Not quite. Now if you excuse me…” I sidestepped him and entered the car.He grabbed my wrist. “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?”My brows knitted. “Doing... what exactly?”“This.” He gestured at my dress and hair and clicked his tongue. “You're trying to seduce me now that I am a married man.”Disbelief cut off
Resisting My Ex-Bully The Change Within Me
I got a text message from Killian saying he had to go on a three-day business trip. I should have felt relieved. Not seeing him for the next three days would surely give me peace of mind and allow me to focus on my current task. Yet, for some unexplainable reason, I felt something akin to disappointment, which only grew when I returned to the penthouse, finding it quiet and empty.“It's a good thing he's gone,” I told myself. “You don't need distractions, and he IS one hell of a distraction in your life.”Unfortunately, even with him away from New York, my thoughts stubbornly drifted to his words—absolutely shameless words. I couldn't stop replaying them in my head, and I knew that I needed to strengthen my defenses. I had to keep my guard up at all times, even during stupid phone calls.He was a deadly predator, playing with his prey. He was giving me a false sense of security, but I would be a fool if I didn't realize I was already inside his cage. Let's face it, I was losing this g
Resisting My Ex-Bully His Move
“That was so awesome!” Ashley snickered as we were waiting for the cab outside the pub. “Have you seen Dylan's face? I've never seen him so pissed before. And his friends? Their mouths were wide open. I bet they all got hard. I even saw one of them swallow.”I rolled my eyes. “Could you please stop?”She pouted. “Oh come on! Let me enjoy this, and don't spoil the fun.”I wished she could lend me some of her carefree attitude or amusement. I was anything but carefree or amused. The second my adrenaline faded, my doubts surfaced, and the previous confidence was nowhere to be found.“I think I made a mistake,” I muttered.“What?” She frowned. “You're kidding, right?”I shook my head. “I'm not.”Her frown deepened. “Are you trying to turn into that timid and scared version of you again?”“No,” I assured her. “I just… I might have overestimated my ability to defend myself. Dylan will stop at nothing now that I hurt his pride, and the rumors…” I sucked in a sharp breath. “Let's just say tha
Resisting My Ex-Bully My Move
The doorbell rang and a wide smile rose on my face. I rushed through the corridor and opened the door. “Come in, Ashley.”“Are you sure it's OK for me to be here?” she asked, nervously nibbling on her lip.I nodded. “Killian won't be back until tomorrow, and I'm seriously tired of being in this huge apartment alone.”“All right then.” She giggled and stepped inside. Her mouth opened as she scanned the spacious hall, illuminated by the fiery glow of the setting sun. “This is amazing,” she breathed out before shifting her gaze to me. “Can I live here? I can cook,” she offered.I snorted. “You can't cook.”She frowned. “I can learn.”“Better not,” I murmured, leading her upstairs to my bedroom.Her eyes traced every inch of the penthouse as we climbed the stairs and passed the long corridor. “This place is amazing... I knew that Killian had to live in luxury, but this… Wow…”I chuckled and winked at her. “Yep. I had a similar reaction.”Her awe only increased as she entered my bedroom. I
Resisting My Ex-Bully The Finishing Blow
The drama ended with a few slaps, Briana's tears, and an intervention from the guards who had to separate Jane and Gwen. Unfortunately, not everything went as I hoped it would. Dylan scurried away at the first moment of distraction. Briana also ran off somewhere, trying to save the shreds of her dignity. The two lovers were escorted out of the building, and they were the ones who received the strongest blow. No one had seen Dylan for the rest of the day…“So, are you going to tell me how you did it?” Ashley had been drilling a hole in my stomach since we returned to our office. She knew I would never get into details in front of the rest of the team, so she waited until I took a break and she dragged me to the roof. “Please tell me what you did. I need to know.”I shook my head. “Nope. Otherwise, you might be called my accomplice.”She gave me a meaningful look. "I am already your accomplice. I encouraged you. I even suggested killing Dylan.”I chuckled. “You're unbelievable.”“Please
Resisting My Ex-Bully An Almost Date
KILLIANRaw fury still heated my blood as Josie and I sat in a private section of my friend's Italian restaurant. She tried to smile each time I glanced at her, but the pale shade of her skin and her tensed muscles betrayed how mortified she was.I had been gone for three days, and those three fucking days were enough to drown the whole company in chaos. Of course, Josie was in the damn center of that storm, and she had been dealing with all of it alone.I should have remained composed. I never had any problems with it. I should have gathered all the facts and calculated my response. But from the moment I learned about what had happened, acting coldly and staying composed became impossible to achieve. I couldn't recall the last time I felt this kind of rage. It was all because of her. Why? I had no fucking idea why. I couldn't detect any logic in my current urges. Yes, Josie was valuable to me, but she was supposed to be the pawn in my game. Being a pawn didn't give her the right to s
