Michael sat in his office steel-faced. Audrey had been avoiding him since that day. Getting back together with Audrey wasn't going to be hard as she always fell for his charms. His problem right now was Iryna, he had never felt so insulted."I even asked the monkey to take me back! Me! Michael Grant, the famous model! Damn! If only I had some money and connections I would have definitely gotten back at her for disgracing me like that in front of those men," Michael fumed.Luckily, his office was soundproof. And also "Peek proof" as he used special illuminated glass that blocked people from seeing inside his office. Michael knew how to spend his money and he did so lavishly. Michael stared at the massive pile of cards from fans that were waiting on his desk, to be signed by him. He hissed and looked at his watch. It was 10:15am and Audrey had not yet come. He was trying his best to also avoid Marcus as he didn't want to answer any of the old man’s questions."Fuck that bitch—" the doo
Chapter 14: Fred’s New Whore"I am calling security this instant!" Jim walked to the door but Marcus grabbed him by the arm and smacked his back."What is going on? Why did you smack my b—""Shut up Jim!" Marcus whispered harshly. "Just follow my lead," Marcus' voice shook. Fear had been imbued in his soul at the moment he recognized Iryna Gallagher —no, Iryna Walters now. "What a surprise Mrs. Walters, we weren't expecting you today," Marcus said putting on a fake smile.Iryna stood up and looked straight at the confused man beside Marcus. His eyes were darting from Marcus to Iryna in confusion. She smiled and stepped away from the table to sit on one of the couches in the office. "I just felt like paying you a visit," Iryna reached for a glass bowl on the table. There were marbles of different colors inside."Excuse me madam, but who are you?" Jim asked again as he was still clueless.Marcus hissed where he stood and he glared at him. He made to explain but Iryna beat him to the p
Michael swallowed the negative feeling that enveloped him after Iryna's stare and he quickly returned to his office to take a glance through the documents he hadn't opened for months.Iryna was going to have his soul tortured. He had to be on his guard while he figured out a way to have her back under his charms.Suddenly, the door flew wide open and Michael looked up from his desk. Marcus stood at the door staring straight into his eyes.There was a fire in his eyes. If facial expressions had physical effects, then the office would have been vaporized from the building."My office in five," Marcus growled and left the room without adding another word. Michael immediately got off his chair. He dared not arrive a second later. For Marcus to come into his office, well he had anticipated it. He had broken his daughter's heart and Iryna's surprise visit wasn't a good thing.There was definitely trouble lurking."Good lord…" Michael muttered as he closed the door to his office and headed
"What!?" Michael screamed."Now now, calm down. You should be grateful, I didn't give you a pay cut as well," Marcus said calmly. He didn't even look up once."Come on! All of my bonuses are gone and you tell me to calm down?" Michael exclaimed in annoyance. He knew all this was because of Iryna."Bear with me. Besides, I was thinking of firing you and punishing my daughter, but I changed my mind. It is only for six months. We rent you out to other companies and you collect half of the payment made. Your total monthly earning should be averaging 250k a month," Marcus said.Michael frowned at Marcus and then he stood up, walking to the window. "Even if I wanted to leave, I can't. She told me she would hunt me down, she also said I should generate profits," Michael grumbled."Well, seems like we have no choice but to take those low-budget gigs. I know I have a reputation to keep, but I am being pushed to the wall here." Marcus closed the laptop and clasped his hands together, looking a
The door to the living room opened and Iryna smiled at the person she saw. She stood up happily and for the first time in a long while, she wore a bright smile on her face."Well, someone is surely living the good life!" Selena, her best friend exclaimed and left the bodyguards that had escorted her behind as she ran to embrace her friend.Selena was a very attractive brunette. The very fact that Iryna had been friends with her for such a long time was shocking as they were very much different. Her huge brown eyes and splendid figure made men dance around her fingers but Selena loved Iryna like a sister."Selena, it feels so good to see you again," Iryna said gently with tears in her eyes. Seeing Selena was like seeing family after a long time.Selena withdrew from the embrace and looked at Iryna's green eyes. "Just two years and you look like you are already caving in. Sweet Jesus, you can't do without me!" Selena declared proudly.She examined Iryna closely and her nose moved upward
"Nice cuisine!" Selena exclaimed as she filled her mouth with steak. Iryna simply stared happily at her and ate hers with less vigor."Damn, I would lose shape if I stayed here," Selena continued."I don't think you will. When you tell the chef the kind of food you want, they will cook it," Iryna explained."Uhn! How come you are looking so pale then? Did you tell the chef to cook food that makes you lose weight?" Selena asked pointing the fork at Iryna."You are living the good life but your body hasn't even changed," Selena added. "I'm fine Selena. I am not just hungry at the moment," Iryna said with a small smile.Selena dropped her fork and squarely glared at her friend. Surely, Iryna was hiding something from her.Something was eating her up from the inside and that was why she remained in that state!"Don't tell me you still have feelings for that mongrel!" Selena mentioned and Iryna turned red at the tip of her ears.She flashed an intense green-eyed stare at her friend. "No!
Selena's face twisted into pity as she observed her friend.Nobody could have handled it the way she had. Five years into a relationship with your first love and then he breaks up with you suddenly because you weren't up to his level was the hardest pain to bear.To be told that you were not enough when all you did was give everything you had was the hardest blow anyone could take.Yet, Iryna smiled. She still managed to get this lucky and stood tall above the mucky waters of her broken heart."They need to know pain," Selena growled. Iryna looked at her friend and flashed her a sad smile."I want to do that Selena. More than anything I want Michael to pay for the embarrassment he caused me… but how?"Selena was quiet at the question as her brain went into action."Do you have some sort of plan in place?" Selena asked. "What have you done so far?"Iryna sniffled away her pain and focused her eyes on her friend."So far so good, I reduced the cash I pumped into the company run by Audr
"Patrick!"Iryna watched as Selena ran to hug a well-built man in his thirties."Hey, Selena. Long time no see, what do you have here for me?" He asked looking at Iryna. He noticed the men with her and reduced his voice a notch. "Are we safe here? Those are a pretty shady trio.""Oh, she? You should already have an idea of what I am talking about," Selena said looking at Iryna.Patrick quickly walked up to Iryna and bowed his head down. "Bonsoir Madame, I was just notified minutes ago that you were coming and I couldn't get things prepared on time," Patrick apologized."Oh it is fine, please call me Iryna.""I am coming, just let me prepare the room for you and please sit down and make yourself at home. Please bring the wine!" Patrick shouted to his workers as he moved away quickly.Iryna shivered as the cold air kissed her shoulders. She muttered a curse for not bringing her jacket with her that night. The day had been really hot, so she had not considered it. Plus the whole idea of
