Joan Rhyno~I hummed, allowing the mirror guide me as I applied some powder on my face. I really didn't have plans for today. Except to go to the grocery store, shop some veggies and practice new recipes. A knock. I rolled my eyes, already concluding it's no other person than emotionless, Rhodes Vivour. 'Come in' I permitted.The door knob twisted and he stepped in. Regardless of how far away he stood, I saw his shadow loom closet to me. He was huge, six ft tall if I'm right. His physique was what made my dad think he's going to be the best guard for me. That's what I thought, not what I was told. The first day o got introduced to him, I never really liked him. If only I was given the opportunity to trade him or replace him with someone else. 'Say what you've got for me''In three hours, you should be ready to go for the blind date. Mr. Rhyno specially made this one possible and he's pleading with you not to fvck this up' Rhodes told me, his indifference getting up on my nerves. Not
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir How did she get to know?
Christian~I stopped by the chairman's house after I got off work. It was a little after 7pm, quite an unusual time for my visits. I talked to him on phone today and it sounded like everything's going well. The instant I got in, I suspected something to be going on when I caught sight of two men, clad in all black entering a red Toyota Corolla. Linda was behind them, her eyes roaming here and there as if looking for an intruder to come out from the shadows.. I hid myself in a darker space, watched from a distance as the car rolled out. I looked out for the number plate and successfully got it. I'll definitely ask Lucius to make a research on it later. I waited for the next five minutes before proceeding into the house. Irritation busted through me when I saw the woman still working as a maid. She's no longer to be trusted. 'Mr. Forbes. Welcome' she acknowledged, her lost two front teeth visible as she flashed a smile. I retaliated, the only difference is my smile was forced.Linda wh

-Lauren-My stomach growled, reminding me I hadn’t eaten since my coffee and bagel at breakfast. It was now near sunset. I gave up standing on the porch and went in. I tried to put aside the imagination of Christian reacting when he finds out I came back here. The usual made was at the entrance, waiting for me. Things seemed off as she didn't flash her usual welcome smile. I moved past it and relayed my pleasantries. 'Please, wait in her drawing room. She's out for now but I'm sure it's not going to take long'Why did she go out when we chose this time to meet ourselves. The maid took me to the room, offered me some fruit juice before leaving me alone. Seconds ticked by into minutes and she was yet to arrive. Getting washed up by boredom, I chose to do a little exploration. I walked into the small main patio at the back of the mansion. The view was beautiful from there. One could see the garden, the sun set, the beautiful view of the estate too. I walked towards a large hall, the din

Eight years before~ 'H..I..d...e..' she choked out, coughing out blood the more. I covered Aiden's face so he won't witness the scene. There was no where to hide even if we tried to. This was an open space. No enclosed area to escape in. She wiped her mouth with the back of her palm, struggling to get on her knees. She didn't make it halfway when a man's feet landed harshly on her back, causing her to crash back to the ground. He pressed down the side of her face. Her cheeks rubbing against the floors. 'Stop! Stop hurting her!' I cried He didn't listen. 'You silly wench, why are you still here?!' Didn't you take the money? Isn't it time for you to leave?! No one's coming to find you.' he growled. He lifted her by the collar of her dress, tightened his grip on her neck. 'Leave her alone!' I yelled again. My shouts came out as a tiny sound against blaring speakers. No effect. Another tear rolled down her eyes. She struggled to breathe. My heart churned. I'm witnessing this yet I'm
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir She's behind everything
~Christian~ Apparently, a call from Lauren was all I needed to rouse myself from my chair. The same man Linda is allegedly dating is the one behind the article publishing. Birds of a feather, flocks together... Isn't that how the saying goes? 'Sir, Are you leaving already?' Ava questioned when she bumped into me in the hallway. 'I won't be coming back today. So leave once you're done for the day' She nodded in acknowledgement. 'Yes, sir' ..... Lauren pulled me in the instant I got to her home. The manner at which she grabbed my wrists, dragged me up the stairs into her room, hastily, made me realize the urgency of what's going on or whatever she's got to say. She panted heavily when we finally arrived the confines of her room. While I found a chair to relax on, she paced the room unrelentingly. Hands on hips, lips pursed, skin covered in sweat. Her uneasiness spoke volumes but I couldn't guess what exactly it is if she doesn't say to me herself. Following few moments, she decided
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Linda's deepest secret
****Twenty two years ago**** A young aged woman stood in front of the mansion gate as it rained heavily. She held a baby whom she tried to protect from rain drops. 'Open the gate. I want to see him!' she said at the top of her voice, startling the infant in the process. For almost two hours, she'd been standing there, waiting for a response from the guards. Perhaps, he authorized the guards to never allow her assess into his house anymore. 'Go home, madam. The boss won't see you' 'He has to see me! I'm not leaving here till he does!' she clamored. Following several more minutes of obstinacy, the black metallic gates swung open. She scurried in, seeking shelter under an enclosed compartment. 'Follow me' the guard asserted. Without complain, she trailed behind him, shivering terribly from the cold she felt. She was handed over to a maid who helped her as well as the infant with new dry clothes. Memories lingered. This was once her resolve when she felt down or the need to get aw
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir One sided love?
~Lauren~ 'You came earlier than usual today' the receptionist mentioned, narrowing her gaze on me. I rolled my eyes, feeling slightly offended. 'But I do come early, you know..' She threw a piece of cookies into her mouth. 'Well, I didn't say you're a late comer' I leaned closer, controlling my voice to come off like a whisper, 'I heard he's visiting today.' She frowned, opening her bottle cap. 'Who?' 'The President' She froze mid way to bringing the bottle of water close to her mouth, her eyes growing twice its normal size. 'How come you know about that? And I don't?' 'I over heard from some of the workers' I responded. 'What workers?' I slouched my shoulders. 'what other workers would I be referring to?' I wheezed out, tired of her petty questions. It's a trait particular about her although but for someone like me, it gets tiring except it's coming from Joan or Aiden. Her face scrunched up in dissatisfaction. 'I wonder why he's coming again. He visited only few days ago'
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir I see you..
~Lauren~ As usual, she pushed past me into the house, eyes filled with emotions and tears. Relief washed through me. How many days has it been? Two.. three?? since I heard last from her. She had shut everyone out, including her father and always indifferent guard. I was truly flabbergasted when he had infact visited here consistently to seek her. Indifferent Rhodes. I guess he's got a soft spot for her, after all. 'Joan. Where did you run to? Do you have an idea of how you made everyone worried?' 'They're still gonna get even more worried. I just want to be left alone! I don't care what any one thinks' she hugged the small pillow on the couch. I sat down beside her, my palms covering hers. 'Slow down, Joan' She shied away from my touch. 'I should slow down? From what exactly, Lauren? I had thought he was going to stop setting me up with men when he apologized and pleaded with me to come home but you know the funny thing? He had the guts to set me up with some weird guy using an
