OLIVIA’S POVLex was on the bed with Victoria, my colleague and his secretary. Their clothes and pants were undone, and had bedsheets over them.Their eyes met mine. We just stared at each other, and I felt like I'd been hit in the gut."Olivia." Lex whispered, almost taunting. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come back?Victoria smiled wryly and pulled the cover up tighter around her. "Well, well, well. Look who's here. The poor, abandoned fiancée.""You're something, Victoria," I spat, my voice low and even. "I never would have pegged you as the type to screw over your friend’s fiancé." "Oh, Olivia. Don't play dumb. Do you really believe you're the first girl Lex has ever dated? He's been a player all his life."Lex just stood there watching. I turned to him. "Lex, say something. Tell her to stop." He shrugged, not caring. "What’s there to say? You’re overreacting." "Overreacting?" My voice shook. "You're sleeping with my friend, and it's nothing?" "This is all drama, Oli

LEX’S POVThree months after Olivia left, guilt gnawed at me. Victoria’s disloyalty and coldness only made me see how badly I’d treated Olivia.I was sitting at my desk, going through some papers. There was a knock. Amanda, my assistant, looked in. "Mr. Kingston, Isabelle's assistant is here to see you."I straightened. "Send her in."A timid-looking woman came in, glanced around nervously. "Mr. Kingston, I have to talk to you. about Olivia Chen. I think she was set up."I looked up quickly. "What do you mean?"She took a breath. "I saw Isabelle and Victoria acting strange back then—whispering and arguing. Isabelle even asked me to look at the security footage from the night of the supposed incident, saying it was for some sort of project. Later, that footage was deleted.I leaned forward. "Are there any backups?" "I guess so. IT likes to keep logs."As soon as she went out, I called IT, and after what felt like a long time, they brought up the video. I gazed at the grainy video, my h

“I don’t understand why we have to be in the same room with those vile creatures.” My father spat, his fingers pulling roughly at the tie around his neck.“Breathe Aros,” my mother’s soft voice filled the carriage, her hand rubbing soothing circles on his back.My heart pounded loudly in my chest, I hated moments like this, any wrong move I would be criticized by my parents. I watched quietly as my mother tried to comfort my aggravated father.My parents had gotten lost in their bubble, with my mother whispering soft soothing words to my father, my heart clenched, and the sight filled me with yearning, “I want a love like this.” I muttered softly to myself.“Almost there sir,” the driver said, bringing back the tense atmosphere in the carriage.“Blackwood pack” my father hissed, his face scrunched up in disgust like the name left a bitter taste on his tongue.“Aros, we will only make the needed appearance and leave.” My mother tried to bargain.“These creatures shouldn’t be allowed

AUDREY'S POVMy heart was pounding loudly in my ears as I headed for Lucas' office. What was he going to berate me for? Was he going to call me mean names? Or was he gonna fire me out of anger?I waited for the elevator to open and the moment it did, I stepped in but suddenly bumped into someone who was stepping out as well. My eyes widened when I realized it was Scott, the man who had helped me earlier when I almost fell.“Mr Scott, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you coming out,” I said and stepped back while he stepped out of the elevator and it closed up.“I thought we were over the pleasantries? Do you take delight in hurting my already fallen ego, Audrey?” He asked in a sad expression and my mouth formed into an ‘oh’ as I rubbed my neck nervously.“I'm sorry, I'm just used to addressing people with pleasantries.

DAMON'S POVI sat at the head of the conference table, listening to the presenter share his ideas. It didn't seem promising to me, and I started to get angry.“The estate would produce a good profit with the supposed budget because…” the man said, but I interrupted him.“You're implying this company feeds your idea of wasting money on some dead establishment,” I said, shocking everyone.“But, sir,” the man said defensively. “The estate will…” he continued, but I had just enough.“Bring nothing!” I retorted and he gulped.“How much do you earn every month?” I asked, looking at him.He swallowed and stammered. “T…ten thousand, sir.”I smiled and continued calmly. “Ten thousand. How would you like to be demoted?”“Um, I…I,” the man stammered.“I don't pay ten thousand to get a lousy work like this. This organization doesn't work on charity. Am I clear?” I asked, and he nodded.“Yes, sir,” he answered.“Good, I expect a better idea next time, or you all will be fired!” I said, looking at

Jordan's POV I furrowed my brows in confusion as the GPS says "Dan Mario." Dan Mario is a club and I looked again at the billboard. How the hell will my client ask me to meet him at a club? I sigh in frustration. This is a huge contract or else, I will never step my feet into a club. I make sure to lock my car door and keep the keys in my pocket. I clench and unclench my muscles as I walk towards the door. I walked inside the rowdy hall and searched for the "corner" my client said he was. A young lady in an exposed body hug walked toward me with a seductive smile. "Want some boobs?" She asked staring at her exposed cleavage and rubbing her nipples from the outside. She nauseated me. Everything about this club does. I wanted to shove her off my face, but ended up making a faint attempt on politeness by waving my head, before walking towards a secured area. The screams from the club are heightened when an artist goes on stage singing God knows what. The party lights blinded me as I

I barely recognize the hopeful woman in the shiny walls of Kingston Tower's executive floor. My journey from intern to falling in love with Alexander Kingston has felt like a dream.Amanda interrupts. “Miss Chen, Mr. Kingston wants to see you now.”“Is everything okay?” I ask, noticing her tension.She averts her eyes. “Mr. Kingston will explain.”I take a breath, lift my chin, and step into Lex's office. He stands by the window, his back to me.“Lex?” I whisper. “Is everything okay? The guests are arriving for the engagement party...”He turns, his gray eyes cold. I flinch. “Tell me, Olivia,” he says sharply. “How long did you think you could fool me?”“What?” I gasp, clutching my purse. “Lex, I don’t understand—”“Don’t.” He steps closer, anger simmering. “I have proof.”He presses a button, and a screen lights up. Blurry security footage shows
