The Billionairess's Reckoning /Optimistic-writer
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..." Mr. Sanders stated.Rose's curiosity piqued. "And what is that idea of yours?" Rose asked him."I s

A VIP room, adorned with a brown leather sofa between two lamp lights. In front of it is a coffee table which supports some newspapers, magazines and a mug of coffee. To the side is an open closet alongside wall-to-wall mirrors adorned with LED lights which lit the room ever so brightly, shining upon tonight's star, who was none other than Rose, who was getting her hair and makeup done by a professional stylist who had the help of two assistants."Done!" The thirty-something-year-old woman, Miss Lucy, clapped her hands while holding a powder brush as she gazed upon her masterpiece.Rose was snapped out of her thoughts as she looked at her makeup in the mirror. A layer of foundation that blended with her skin tone complimented the red tint on her lips.The skillfully drawn eyeliner asserted the gray color of her eyes and the sleek bun hairstyle made prominent her sharp but striking facial features."Done nicely, as always," Rose complimented Miss Lucy, who gleamed. "Now, I always have

Third person POVWas Rose really excited about this?Alice shook her head and chuckled as she realized what was going on, yet sighed in relief upon realizing Rose wasn't planning anything dangerous.Who knew one could get the high about eavesdropping on their employees, but then, Rose had always been peculiar about her approach to things.Alice locked her cubicle, closed the lid on the toilet and sat comfortably, listening to those that came and went.Most of the women went in to touch their makeup and do a little bit of gossip."I love your dress!""You look absolutely stunning girl!""You look in the mirror and tell that to yourself.""Did you see Vanessa's dress?" one voice said and two others laughed."Seriously. Did she wear her Halloween dress or something?" Another said, and the others laughed."Someone needs to tell her orange is not her color."Not long after, the girls went out."Does any one of you have a pad or tamp?" Someone anxiously asked her group. "I think i might be

Alice's POVOh sh*t! It's all my fault. I should have talked her out of it. But what does she mean by putting the girl in the same position as herself? Rose is currently the CEO, so doesn't that mean she would be rewarding the girl for bad behavior? But that doesn't even make sense.Snapping myself out of those thoughts that were never going to answer themselves, I decided to follow after Rose, but when I got out of the bathroom, she was already long gone.I headed towards the elevators and pressed the button. Five out of six were heading up towards the eleventh floor where the ceremony was taking place while I was waiting on the eight floor.The other elevator was on the fifth floor and seemed to be taking forever. Either many people were getting in or someone was messing with it.At this rate, I might just miss the first part of the ceremony. Did Rose get there already? Maybe I should take the stairs. I shouldn't be caught lacking on an important day like this.She can't do somethin

Third Person POVKnowing she would be there all by herself, and feeling not the need to knock, he opened the door and let himself in, closing the door softly behind him.Rose stood in front of the ceiling to floor windows, gazing down at the busy city which was shrouded in the midst of the night of the sky, yet illuminated by the the lights from the buildings and from the street lamps.On her large mahogany desk which was at least three decades old, he could see an envelope beside a letter and he knew right who the sender of that letter would be and how it always affected Rose.Her arms folded against her torso, and her hair now let down, she seemed to be loss in thoughts as she gazed through the window, barely making one thing from the other amidst the tall skyscrapers and the cars brimming at the traffic.He walked up to her, and with her back to his, he wound his arms around her waist, rested his head on her shoulder and sniffed in her scent."You did well Rose, tonight was amazing
