Ariana’s POVI stood still as he glared at me, wondering why he had just called me insolent. As far as I knew, I did nothing wrong but brought the coffee he ordered.“Is something the matter?” I asked.“All I asked for was a simple coffee, but guess what? I couldn’t have that,” he snapped at me. It was shocking, as I wasn’t expecting the response. I felt like there was something behind his attitude and this had nothing to do with coffee.“I got what you wanted, you asked for no sugar,” I replied.“Well, guess what, I like my coffee without milk,” he responded, and I tried so hard not to roll my eyes. Just as I decided to give him a piece of my mind, I wasn’t going to stand here and watch him belittle me to nothing. I was interrupted when the door opened and a beautiful brunette walked in.She was stunning. She was six feet tall, and her height made her seem like a model. Her long, endless legs seemed to stretch as far as they could go. Then there was her gown, it was just below her wai
Ariana’s POVI stood at a loss for words, and without hesitation, I ran out of the office. As soon as I got into my office, I slammed the door and breathed hard. Damien wasn’t my first fling. I had been with different men before him and left them without even caring about them.But why does he seem to affect me so much when I see him? Something about Damien made me crave more of him. Memories of the little time we spent that night have been unforgettable. Seeing him with her put so much rage, jealousy, and envy inside me.I knew he was a douchebag and had mocked me since then, but I can’t get him out of my head. I knew I needed to move on from what we had. He was my stepbrother now, and there is no way we're going to end up together.The office got so suffocating. I don’t think I can stay any longer and see his face. It's not like I have a job anywhere else, so I left for the canteen.I ordered a sandwich and settled in my chair to eat. The rest of the customers were paired up in pairs
“Ariana’s POV”Soon everyone dived right into the food. I focused on eating my meal and didn’t meet anyone's gaze as I ate.“So, how was work today, kids?” Brian asked us as we ate.“Work was good, father,” Damien replied. I looked up just in time to see Brian looking at me and waiting for my response.“It was eventful,” I said, and I could feel Damien meet my gaze. I held his gaze. He gave me his signature smirk as he dived down to his food. I saw Britney looking at me with so much hate, but I didn’t return her gaze as I continued eating.“So, dear, tell me about yourself,” my mother decided to ask Britney.“Oh, I am so sorry for not making introductions. I am Britney, Damien's girl and the future rightful heiress to my parents' company,” Britney responded, and I rolled my eyes.“Showoff,” I mumbled, while keeping my eyes on my food. I knew she heard me as she turned and glared at me.“That's so wonderful, my dear. Have you guys decided a date for the wedding?” My mother asked, and I
Damien's POVI knew she wanted me, her body language said everything. When she arrived late for work that morning, I had let her get away with it. Normally, I fired anyone who came even a minute late to work. But when it came to her, I brushed it off. What happened between us was a coincidence, and I didn't want it to happen again. Ariana was an angel, and I was the devil. I couldn't strain her with my darkness.The coffee incident was out of frustration from losing a contract to Lucas, who was my greatest rival in the business world, and I took it out on her. Luckily, Britney came just in time for me to pour out all my frustration during sex.When Ariana walked through the door and caught us in the act, I smirked at her as she looked at me in horror while I continued rambling inside of Britney. Luckily, Britney had her eyes closed while enjoying the moment and didn't know that Ariana was in the room.Britney, on the other hand, was my girlfriend and more of a sexual partner. She wa
Ariana’s POVI let out a yawn as I groaned and stretched my body, the morning light filtering through the blinds of my window. The headache hit me, pounding through my skull like a relentless drumbeat. I struggled to recall the events of the previous night, but my memory seemed hazy.I was so confused about how I had ended up in my bed this morning. The only memory I had was going to the toilet at the club.I dragged myself out of bed, feeling nauseous as I stumbled towards the bathroom. The urge to vomit hit me like a freight train, and I barely made it to the toilet before emptying the contents of my stomach. Collapsing onto the cold tile floor, I struggled to make sense of what had happened.I glanced down and realized I was still in my dress from last night, the fabric crumpled and stained from a night of revelry. How did I end up back home? I wracked my brain for answers, but the memories refused to surface.I took a quick shower. I knew I was late for work, but I didn’t know how
I stood there as I held my cheek, glaring at Britney. She must have seen the headline and assumed the worst.“Less than one week in the Black's mansion and you are trying to steal my man,” she gritted out. I wasn’t going to stand aside and watch her destroy my reputation.“Mind your words, Britney. I visited that club without any idea of Damien. I am still as confused by that picture as anyone else,” I said, and I could see her getting more angry.“You will pay, I will make sure of that,” she said, and I rolled my eyes at her.“You have already implicated yourself, Britney. I will contact my lawyer, and you will pay for the assault you have committed today,” I said as I smirked.“You can’t go against me, girl. Less than a week in the family, and you think you can take me on. I'd love to see you try,” she said as she let out a laugh.I looked around, and almost everyone had a phone in their hands as they took several pictures. I knew I couldn’t continue this. Just when I was about to le
I ignored her as I attempted to walk past her, she reached out and grabbed my hands. “Where so you think your going to?” She asked me, and I tried to wiggle my hand out of her hands.“My room ,mum, hope you don’t have a problem with that i replied.“Are you just going to pretend you don’t know what your did Ariana”she asked.I knew what she was talking about but I wasn’t going to pay her and mind. She was literally going to assumed the worst even if I did.“You whore, I told you to stay away from Him but there you were. Sneaking out to go to club with him and having him get you home drunk and half naked for the whole world to see,”she said and in rolled my eyes.“It wasn’t intentional mother, believe it or not” i replied as I walked away from her, she trailed after me.“Come stand here when I am talking to you,”she responded and I stoped and turned to face her.“Mother, I can’t deal with this. I need to rest” I responded.“You ungrateful brat, I have warned you times without number
I was so embarrassed and ashamed at the same time. Being caught masturbating in the hallway isn’t something I would wish on anyone. Thankfully Brian haven’t embarrassed me even more and asked me to come to his office the next day.I was so embarrassed that I returned to my room, the intention to get water from the kitchen gone.As soon as I got into my room, I wasted no time laying back on my bed. I was anxious about what Brian would say to me, and the fear that he would tell my mother or kick me out of the villa scared me.If he does then I would have no place to go, or my mother may send me back to London.I fell asleep later that night as I spent most of the night thinking about what would happen to me tomorrow.When I woke that morning, it was quite early. My phone kept buzzing with notifications as I groggily reached for it. I squinted at the bright screen.One notification caught my eyes as I sat up on the bed. When I tapped on it, my eyes widened."Wow," I whispered, my eyes wid
