It's sunday morning,remembering I have brunch with my high school friends, stella and issac and hilda,yea ,I still keep in touch with my friends.we were the notorious JOSEPHINA'S.

I did my morning routines,got dressed and head to the house.

Entering their yard I saw issac setting the dishes.

"Hey issac." I greeted.

"Oh hi,eve, honey someone is here to see you".issac shouted.

Issac has really changed,normally he is the quiet type,now he is muscular and he has freckles.

"Don't tell me it's the gardener,I told him am not paying after he destroyed my flowers.....eve!,it you". stella trailed off pulling me to a tight hug.

"You are early.come on let go and set things up,I can't wait". Stella squeal.

I saw hilda,the chaterbox of the school.it was amazing to see some of us again. We had the brunch at their porch,the design is magnificent of course done by stella herself,she is a interior designer and issac is an engineer.

Their house is bungalow and very clean and beautiful.

"This is amazing food,what is is it called again?"I asked.

"Jollof rice,if you want to taste Africa food you can joins us there".

"Oh I don't know going to Africa for food is a waste of money".I countered.

"But fun right?.stella added.

"So I finally got a job as a PA". I say changing the topic.

"That's nice so we can say we are hardworking people". We talked and joke about works.

I decided to change the topic.

"So,you and issac are engaged,so when is your wedding?".

"He is fine,he will soon be back and when he is,we will go to paris and start a new life". Hilda replied.

"You really want to go to paris,don't you?". I asked.

"Look at us,planning on our next adventure and new life". Stella squeal.

"What about you eve,you have someone in your life?".

"No".

Yea,am pretty,but no one comes to me and I like it that way and am also thankful that they didn't push. Then the rest of the time was silent and peaceful and it was killing me.

"I wish the whole gang were here".issac said out of the blues.

"Yea,tasha,ollie,albert,patrick and sandy". Hilda added.

"I guessed they have a new life?".I asked.

"Yes,albert is a famous artist,pat is a model now,also tasha and ollie are business woman and they are not in good terms".stella added.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
5.0

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
