Taming the grumpy boss heart Chapter 1 Memories

Olivia's POV

I groaned as I heard my phone beep; it was the Alarm I set yesterday; yes! Today is a big day for me, but for some reason, I wasn't pleased.

Memories I shared with Daniel came flashing, last night I wasted myself because I felt so heartbroken

I expected Daniel to cheer me up today, but no one was here, just me, in this house.

I dragged myself out of bed, reluctantly walked into the bathroom brushed my teeth and had a bath. I was feeling weak after yesterday's painful event. "Why," I said as a tear fell from my eyes

My head was aching after drinking so much alcohol yesterday. I found Daniel cheating on me with a blonde yesterday morning. Daniel knew how important this day was to me, yet he fucked me up

I was in so much pain and regretted ever going to his apartment to surprise him. I have an interview with a prestige company today. If I get a job in this company, I would never suffer again, and I and Daniel decided to celebrate it

"I promise to be there with you, and I will" Those were Daniel's words

"You're a total asshole; get your voice out of my head," I said as I stormed out of the bathroom and rubbed my lotion; I chose the outfit for the day.

"Ahhh, what exactly did Daniel want? I thought he loved and cherished me; I can't believe he did this to me," I said.

I stared at myself in the full-view mirror, wearing a black skirt and a pink long-sleeve shirt. I was proud of how I looked

I had practiced what to say today in my interview; since I graduated from school, I have been job hunting, but most of the jobs I saw didn't pay well, and Olivia being Olivia, would never settle for less

I walked out of my room and entered my sitting room; the whole place was empty, just me. Millions of memories began to flash in my head

After I was done with breakfast,I left the house and locked the door behind me. Reflecting on my life. I only knew a few things about my parents; my mother died while giving birth to me, and my father lives in a big town with his other family.

"I wish you could see me, Mom," I said; although I never knew my mother, I respected her for one thing, I am alive today because of her

"Babe, this isn't what you think", I recalled my ex-boyfriend, Daniel telling me.

"I can explain," he said and trailed behind her, but I didn't want to listen to his excuses

"I'm not blind; I know what I saw, and you can't convince me otherwise," I said

"What did you expect" Those words made me halt; I didn't understand what he said

"What did he mean?" I thought

"You gave me no reason to be loyal to you, we are in a relationship, but I don't know the color of your pant; you're so uptight, so I had to find someone else who would satisfy my needs," Daniel said, those words made my heart hurt, I didn't expect what I heard from him.

I forgot how to breathe and just froze for a moment. It was as if time stopped, but then I heard Daniel's voice again

"I couldn't break up with you because I didn't want to break your heart" At this moment, the dam broke; my eyes betrayed and I began to cry. With my back facing Daniel

I sobbed and ran out of the premises. "So pathetic," I thought. I couldn't believe he didn't break up with me because he pitied me.

My life was a hot mess, and my world was ending. I loved Daniel so much and ignored all the signs I got because I was head over heels for him.

Between my sobs, I remembered when I cried on his shoulders, how he comforted me and told me how special I was, but all those memories are now in the past. The problem was that we shared too many moments, and it felt like Daniel was already an essential part of my life. Today I was shattered

My dreams were crushed, and the fantasy world I built with Daniel was destroyed in that minute

I checked the time so that I wouldn't be late for my interview and there was still time. So, I sat on the couch in the living room as I remembered how I had shamed myself that day

"My good God," I said out loud as I recalled those embarrassing memories. Yes! Daniel was right, their relationship was a strange one, but it was like that only because I refused to sleep with him

"Babe, I promise it wouldn't hurt" Those were Daniel's words, but I refused, and looking back now, I felt like I wronged him, but I brushed the thought away

I believed I was perfect the way I was, but deep down, it felt like I was lying to myself

I stepped out of my house and waited for a taxi.

The taxi stopped in front of a big company; the view was magnificent. I couldn't give up my dream because of someone; moreover, I saw this as an opportunity to get Daniel off my mind

So, it was a big step for me. I sat down at the reception for a while, but no one attended to me

"Please, isn't it time for the interview," I asked, but the receptionist ignored my question. The girl looked at me from head to toe before focusing on her laptop.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket; I picked up the call; it was my friend from school, Martha, the one that told me about the job

Martha works at this company, and so she wanted to help me get the job

Reynolds Enterprises, people find it hard to secure a job in a company like this, but luckily for me, if my self-confidence didn't get me into the company, my friend's influence would, but I didn't want pity, so I was determined to get this job

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
