Myself again

2024-10-29 19:42:56Marie's pov:
After pushing away the painful memories,it's then I realized I was done with my hot chocolate and only then did I notice the salty tears rolling down my cheeks making my eyes puffy.The rain had stopped pouring as a clear sky was visible showing the beautiful stars.
Reminiscing my mother's last words I knew it was time for me to fullfil my promise.I mean,A promise is a debt and the only time you can't fullfil it's only when out of necessity. Now was the right time.
Taking my cup,I went to the kitchen to wash it and jumped on the bed.I turned off my alarm as usual I wake up at 5:00am work out then leave for work at 7:00 only to get there by 8:00am.Our manager is one tough cookie to crack,a minute late he will lecture you to for being tardy wishing you'd crawl back and never be seen.
I sigh as I take out my contacts for my disguise looks.After all have been through and deciding to cloak myself as Marie,I also had to change my looks choosing a blonde wig and blue eye contacts hiding my grey eyes.I also had to tan myself a bit to hide my pale skin.I closed my eyes letting myself fall into slumber with only one thought in mind,time to reign.
Turning myself I notice its 5:00am in the morning,yes I had turned off my alarm but my body is naturally used to me waking up this time.I did my morning routine as I changed to my workout outfit,black leggings and a ribbed seamless crop tank high.I did my normal keep-fit session routine. Checking the time its 6:30,damn didn't know I was going to spend much time at the gym.Taking shower with thoughts of how today it's gonna play out.If anyone was here watching me to be precise,you would have a chill running down your spine.
My grin was more like the one of cheshire cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.Getting of the shower I smelled like shea butter.I sat on the bed with just my towel running my hands on my outfit,the fabric soft on my skin soothing me.I applied mild make up,I was happy my tan was done revealing my white pale skin.As much as I did a mild make up I have a thing for smokey eyes bringing out my grey eyes.Today I had time to myself,not even Jeremy would bother talking down at me.
Standing infront of my mirror I was pleased with the person looking back at me.No,not the broken or quiet Marie,but Isabella Rosa Morrone.I admired the outfit,a black mid thigh coat-dress with pleats on the left side and long sleeved.I am glad to be back.All I had to do was bring back my ambitious side and fix the crown.Picking my leather Estelle Couture brand bag,I walk out to the garage.I used to go with a small car coz of my disguise but today it was different.I smiled at myself as I looked at my Mercedes-AMG G63.
Getting in the car I rushed off the drive way,passing by my favorite coffee shop to get myself espresso.I love my coffee black and bitter bringing out what I always felt,bitter towards the worlds people to be precise .It didn't take long because I was now parked infront of Estelle Couture,applying my make up.
"Ma'am,you ain't supposed to park here,kindly go to the left wing side this is a private spot,"Robby said.I rolled down my window,no I wasn't pissed off because he is just doing his job.
"Robby,Goodmorning.I know this is the spot for the CEO so I guess am in the right place,I wouldn't park here if I didn't own the company,would I?"I smiled sincerely.
"Ma..rie...I mea..n..Ma'am,yes sorry I just never knew you were the owner considering nobody has ever seen the owner,"Robby exclaimed with pure shocked emotion that he was trying to conceal but failing miserably.Something that I learned to do after my parents passed away.
Masking your emotions off your face is easy,but hiding your emotions off your eyes now that needed practice,years of practice to be precise.Considering I had masters in psychology I knew to read peoples emotion.
"No problem Robby,you are just doing your job."I smiled at him.
"Have a nice day,"I smiled at him as rolled up my car window as I get off.Locking my car I take strides towards the main door.As I enter the whole hall went mute,the only thing you'd hear were my heels clacking on the white tiles.
"Marie,you are late.And what's with the look,decided to get a make over because you felt lonely?"Jeremy,my manager said not bothering to hide his anger and resentment towards me.Everyone held their breath,but I did the only thing he never expected I smiled mischievously as I pulled up my card opening the private elevator having everyone's jaw dropped.
"Ella,I need your team's designers at the CEO office with all sketches for our spring signature look design, in 10 minutes,including you Jeremy,"I smiled sickly at him not breaking eye contact with him.
"Ye..s..ma..r..i..ee,I'm so..rry,Yes Ma'am,"Jeremy exclaimed.
How I loved the effect I had on them.I am happy to be back.With that the elevator doors closed.

Marie's/Rosa's pov:Pressing the elevator buttons I can't help but evocate the good times with my parents.We were just an ordinary family,my father was lawyer while my mother was just an ordinary florist.We did own a big piece of land not as big as the luxurious side of the town did but enough for my mom to plant flowers,dad to raise his horses and enough to have a medium sized house not too boujee and not for a middle class rank.Lets say in between.After the fire,I started doing my own digging.It took a while but i came to know who was behind the arson.Later on I realised they were selling the land for few pennies,so I got one of my workers,Ella to be sure,to buy the land and sell it later to me.Ella was the only person who knew of my identity and also the bestfriend I had after the arson.At work we never acted as friends but we still kept in touch.After selling the land back to me,I started building back a mansion at the same time growing la

Rosa's pov: I sat back on my chair looking out the window watching the busy street.After giving Kayla her day off I decided to go through the pile of files that Jeremy dropped at my office before leaving.So far he had fired over twenty five employees over pety issues.He made me do double work because currently I was just relaxing after calling all ex-employees and compesate for Jeremy's rudeness,while I offered back their jobs to those who still had not got employed. It was currently two in the afternoon,I skipped lunch just to get done with all the work I had at the office.I also made few phone calls one of them being a moving company.It was time for me to go back to my home,yes I was moving in with Ella. We agreed to move out tonight from Eight at night.I didn't want to create a fuss considering anyone in that neighborhood would recognise my pale face and grey eyes.Everyone believed that am dead,so me showing up would ruin my plans.

The Cloaked Damsel Heir
Rosa pov: I watched as the glass shattered on the floor loving the effect I gave off.Whispers could be heard all around the room. My eyes fixed on the shattered glass on the floor.Reminded of who I was,broken but what kept me going was knowing a broken glass is always the sharpest.It made me move from my darkest days to my brightest but this is just a tip of an iceberg.I smiled raising my head meeting William's pale face. Next to him was Jeremy,I knew well they were friends but not close friends. "You are supposed to be dead,"I tried not to cringe over Laura's voice.Her and I have been arch-nemesis since we were little.I knew my presence made her insecure. Taking a glass of wine,I descend the stairs smiling.My nonna rushed to me,thinking I would just vanish. "come fai a vivere?"nonna asked.[how are you alive?] "Almeno sono vevo,"I answered back embracing the warm feeling.[atleast I am alive] Shock
