Chapter One: Star

"We've done three internal audits this year. A fourth one is just a waste of time." There is a general intake of breaths across the impossibly large central office. Senior executives are seated on stuffed high chairs behind the thirty feet long glass conference table and their gazes snap to one another. No doubt, they're shocked at my pompousness but not nearly as much as the fact that he is allowing it.Seated at the head of the table, the pinnacle of our firm and chairman of the meeting glares at me. The aura emanating from him is unmatched and I tremble all over."What do you suggest then, Miss Griffin?" One of the executives calls out from across me, "An external audit? Have a bunch of outsiders playing detective in our business?" He snorts like he has just made a joke.I turn back to him. The boss. He has to listen to me. "It's the only way," At least I pregnate my words with some deference, "Someone within the company is leaking our ideas to our competitors and we've got to fi

Chapter Two: Star

"You hooked up with him, didn't you?" I pause bringing the fork to my mouth and frown, "What?"Seated across the table from me, my best friend gives me a knowing look, "You hooked up with Neal. I can smell his cologne on you." I drop the fork back down without taking a bite and chuckle dryly, "Since when did my personal life become any of your business?" James pushes his plate away and rolls his eyes, "It's my business because you're my best friend and I want what's best for you.""Neal is what's best for me."James shakes his head, obviously frustrated, "He's using you, Star! How can you not see it?" My chest tightens and my appetite disappears. "Because I love him," I throw back."But does he feel the same way? Because it's pretty clear to me he doesn't." Nausea bubbles in my throat, "James...""I mean, he's yet to take you out on a proper date, even though he's a billionaire," James rambles on, "I'll bet my life on it that he doesn't want to be seen with you and that fucking

Chapter Three: Star

"Star, wait!" My feet ache from how briskly I'm walking. The Ward mansion is so big, it takes me a great deal of time to walk down the driveway. Behind me, Neal's shoes hit the ground as he marches after me."I said wait!" he grunts, finally grabbing my arm and swinging me around. His face is red from the cold."Let me go," I whisper. My voice sounds as dead as I feel."Dinner isn't over. It's rude for you to just leave like that." I let out an incredulous laugh, "Your mom and her friends talked down to me to my face and you're worried about manners?"His shoulders deflate as he sighs, "I'm sorry she said those things to you...""You didn't defend me," I point out, "Not once. And you didn't introduce me right. I'm your girlfriend as well as your secretary."The looks he gives me is indecipherable and I get fed up. I wrestle to get out of his grip but before I can wrench away from him, he pulls me into his arms for an embrace. I don't want to give in–I really don't. But his warmth i

Chapter Four: Star

Three years later:"Look who came back!"I open my arms wide as my mom rushes to embrace me. Her familiar warmth engulfs me, and I hug her tightly, breathing in her comforting scent of lavender and flour. I haven't seen her in three years, and the ache of that time apart melts away as she squeezes me like she never wants to let go."I missed you, Mom," I say, my voice thick with emotion. She pulls back just enough to look at me, her tear-streaked face lit with joy."I missed you too, sweetheart,” she sniffs, brushing my hair back as though making sure it's really me.A little tug on my legs pulls my attention down. My toddler, Ethan, is half-hidden behind me, his small fingers gripping my jeans. My mom's gasp of delight fills the air, and she bends to scoop him up before he can scurry away."Oh, look at this little angel! You've grown so much, haven't you?”she coos, her eyes glistening anew. Ethan wriggles shyly at first, then giggles as she peppers his cheeks with kisses."Well, well
