Rose closed her lipstick and put it back in her purse before turning to face Madeline who had walked up to her. "Long time no see Rose. Who knew we would meet again after so long? You are happy to see me, right?" Madeline smiled brightly. "Depends on your intentions entirely," Rose titled her head to the side. "It's certainly been a long time Madeline. Eleven years if I am correct?" "Eleven years sound like such a long time, but it feels just like yesterday when we clung to each other's arms as we dominated the hallways of our high school," Madeline laughed. "You still think of those times, right? I hear your grandparents passed away not long after we graduated. Are you okay? Must have been devastating. Not having any one of us be there for you. And especially not long after Damian broke your heart," Madeline chuckled. "It was a rough time to go by. But I am more than glad I didn't have any of your fake asses with me. But as you can see, I am doing just fine now. Thank you for

Rose was discussing with Mr. Durant when she raised her head and spotted Zack coming towards her. A smile spread across her lips effortlessly. Zack joined her, standing by her side and Rose immediately linked her arms with his as they continued to talk to Mr. Durant. The night went on, and after a lot of music, food and socializing, it was finally time to go back home and call it a night. "You should come to my place with me. "We should have a few things to discuss between us," Rose suggested to Zack as they got out of the ballroom. "Sure," Zack agreed. "Where should we head to now? Should I drop him off first?" Cade said as Zack and Rose entered the back of the limo. "No. Drop us off at my place," Rose answered. "Yes ma'am," Cade replied, throwing a glance at Zack just as the screen rolled up, making a screen for them. "I could have sworn he glared at me," Zack joked in amusement. "Cade doesn't like the idea of me going home with other guys," Rose laughed. Thinking about how

Rose's POVI woke up to the feel of fingers slowly running up and down my bare back. The light strokes sent chills down my spine and I could feel a hot breath over my spine.My head buried deep in my pillows, I didn't need to open my eyes to know who it was. It was none other than the guy I picked up last night."I know you are awake babe," he said in an alluring voice, which was followed by a hot breath fanning my ear. I raised my head and opened my eyes slowly, only to be greeted by the streaks of sunlight filling my room, making my head throb, and I shut them close as I sat up and rubbed my head with two fingers while I used the other hand to pull the sheets to my body, covering myself.The guy, whatever his name was, spoke again, bringing me back to the reality of my decision last night, which was a result of taking a few drinks."Good morning babe," he purred into my ears, and I could tell by his freshly sprayed cologne and minty breath that he was trying too hard. "Ready to go d

Third person POVZack placed his long legs on the coffee table, one on top of the other, as he pressed his phone.As Zack surfed through the internet reading the news about the market and stocks, mindlessly looking at what he deemed important to his person and scrolling over what he didn't need to concern himself about, especially gossip, one would easily mistake him for the owner of the fancy restaurant he was in and the staff room to be his personal office if not for the waiter's uniform that betrayed him.The uniform consisted of a white dress shirt, a black bow and black slacks. With his tall legs, slim waist, broad chest and styled but messy dark hair, one could mistake him for a model.Zack checked the time, and it was 6:50pm at the moment, meaning his break would end in about ten minutes. In two hours, he would be heading home after an eight-hour shift that started at 1pm. Zack checked the date on his phone and he let out a deep breath. Tomorrow would be his third anniversary w

Back in the lounge room, Chris handed Zack another towel which Zack used to rub his wet but now clean hair.Zack had taken a shower and changed out of his work clothes into simpler clothes, which consisted of a white tee and blue jeans."You will have to take a proper shower after getting home. I think it would take a few days for the smell to get off," Chris complained. "Who orders food like that anyway? Can you believe they made a soup out of garlic?""How am I supposed to continue working smelling like this? And I was hoping Emilia and I would get to eat dinner together ," Zack grunted in annoyance.He smelled the dampened towel which now smelled of garlic before throwing it on a nearby couch and, using his fingers, tussled his hair."I could never understand why people cheat on their spouses. Especially the ones they made vows to," Zack shook his head. "Because it's fun?" Chris grinned."It's my fault, the whole scene that was caused, and what my wife did to you." A voice came, ma

"Babe," she patted her boyfriend on the chest to bring him back to reality. Her boyfriend turned his head towards the door and saw Zack standing there in shock while Emilia hurried to cover herself up.His lips lifted into a slight smirk as he got off the bed and Zack caught it. "Looks like the boyfriend is here," he whistled, slowly getting off the bed and going for his clothes.Not only was he on top of his girlfriend in his own house. This man was definitely mocking him. At that moment, Zack's rage overwhelmed his feeling of betrayal, taking over all his senses. He didn't hear when Emilia called out to him as he headed towards the man who was buckling in his pants. The man did not notice and was only made aware of lackluster fury when a punch landed on his face. "Oh my god no! Zack, stop!" Emilia called out to him, but he didn't hear as he went in for another punch. "No, stop!" Emilia stopped him by holding onto his arm. She had already slipped on a dress."Stop doing this please.

"Zack, you came back?" the woman rushed to hug him. "You are back home, for good, right? And you are finally going to take back your rightful place," the woman whispered the last part."Nice to see you too after so long, mother," Zack hugged her back."Come on everyone, let's get back inside." Grandmother ushered everyone back in while Zack's mother let go of the hug."Grandma, did you really make us prepare a special dinner to welcome your fugitive grandson back?" Mackenzie, the 21-year-old slender girl with blonde hair said as they all turned to go back inside."That is no way to talk about your cousin, young woman," Grandma scolded, walking towards her family and towards the house, using her walking stick as a support. "And this fugitive son would work in the company to prove himself.""Ohhh! Brother is not going to be happy about this," Levi, the 14-year-old teenage boy with chestnut brown hair, shook his head. "What do you mean? And Zack is the oldest here. So I expect you all to

Third-person POVAs Rose sat at the head of the boardroom, listening to the heads of the different departments in her company tell her the final details of the event that was about to start in two hours' time, she felt an unsettling feeling deep within her."That's good, Mr. Sunshine, well done to you and your team for a great job," Rose complimented the Chief Marketing officer as he finalized his presentation."Thank you, Miss Gabrielle," Mr. Sunshine said with a cheeky grin, a contrast to Rose's Stoic expression as he took in Rose's compliment while the rest of the people in the meeting nodded their heads in recognition of his work.Next, was the Chief technology officer, Mr. Sanders, who continued with his presentation. "... Taking all the efforts brought forward to make this day a success, I would also like to put forward an idea to make our work with our partners more efficient..."

Emilia's POVI flipped through the never ending pages, my chest feeling heavy and my frustration increasing with each passing second.I looked up and around the almost empty library.It was almost midnight, so it made sense that that there will be less people right now. Or that was the lie I kept telling myself, when in reality, the reason why the library is more empty than it should be, is because most of my mates have graduated.Only six months ago, I had so much hope I felt like I could shit rainbows. But now I am stuck in this stupid dingy place.Knowing that flipping the page won't get the words into my head, I stood from the chair as I decided to call it quits for the night.The next bar exams in in two weeks luckily, and I plan to pass this time.Trudging my way out, I came out of the library and stood still by the road, looking at the night sky, I realized how late it was.I brought out my phone and scrolled through the contacts before stopping at his name.I pressed dial and

Alice looked around the entrance of the amusement park and immediately spotted Chris' back and blonde hair.She snuck up on him and right when she was about to poke him, Chris turned around and she poked his chest instead.Chris looked at her hand poking his chest and then looked at her with his eyebrows raised. Realizing what had just happened, Alice pulled her finger away and closed her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened."Just how much cuter can you get," Chris wrapped his arms around her as he chuckled."I wanted to surprise you," Alice let out disappointedly."I promise you did," Chris told her. "Good thing you dressed warmly," Chris adjusted the scarf around her neck. "The night air might get chilly on those rides. That is if you don't get spooked out first.""Oh please!" Alice rolled her eyes."I've gotten our tickets. Let's go in now.""The first to scream on the wheel buy all the snacks!" Alice said and the two walked in hand in hand through the gates of the amusement par

Third person POV6 months laterIn their vast mansion, the dinner room, might as well be the only time this rich family have a good reason to have to have to meet and face each other.It was silent, save for the clinking of cutlery against ceramic plates, the occasional order to the maids to bring or take a way a thing or the other or the sound of food being eaten.The usual sitting was in order, but the silent animosity between them was unparalleled."Grandma," Marissa spoke up. "Although it's only been six months since Zack started working with you at the company, don't you think he is doing really well?""Uhmmm," Grandma nodded as she continued to eat.Marissa looked at Irene with a taunting face, a smirk on her face but was surprised to find that the latter also had a similar expression on."Grandma, you must have heard about the famous Craig Wallstreet, right?" Irene continued without waiting for Grandma to respond. "Chris, through his persistence and flexibility was able to secu
