Pamela's P.O.V:It was another Monday morning, and I was exhausted. I was exhausted by the fact that my life was crumbling around me.I should have listened to my mother when I was younger. Now that I'm twenty-five, I'm feeling very empty. My fiance, who had been supportive, was now my only hope.I was about to cry when Liam came out of the bathroom. His towel dangled dangerously low around his waist, revealing his chiseled abs. Then he approached me with a smirk on his face."Don't tell me you're crying," he said."I mean, it's your birthday tomorrow, and you can't be crying on the eve," he said, taking my hand in his.My birthday was the following day, and I had already informed my mother that I would bring Liam to her house. She'd only seen photos of him.He drew me into a hug, and I rested my head on his lower belly. We'd been together for almost a year, but whenever we were so close, my body went haywire. I was late for work, but I was tempted to go for a quickie."Don't worry, y
Royal P.O.V:This company was all but dead. I'm not sure if getting in was a good idea, and I think I already messed up by spilling coffee on her. But she was still careless—who jumps out of an elevator without looking?I was here for a reason, and I had to be patient until my goal was met. There was no one else who could get me what I wanted except her, and even if it meant rummaging through the dirt, I would do it as long as I got what I wanted in the end.I waited for Pamela to return but she didn't. It was getting later than expected, and I had had enough, so I left the office to which I had been assigned. Pamela staggered out of the elevator as soon as I stepped out.Was she drunk? I pondered. I watched as she turned left to the staircase leading to the terrace. I was immediately alarmed, so I trailed quietly behind her.********Pamela P.O.V:I know I said it wasn't over yet, but it was. I couldn't see the point of living any longer—Liam was the final straw.He was married, and
Pamela: After Mia slammed the door, I locked it and turned around, my back to the door, taking deep breaths and closing my eyes."Mr. Markinson wants to meet you today at the party because he couldn't yesterday!" Mia yelled as she walked away.I opened my eyes to find Royal staring at my naked body."Do not do that!" I screamed.Then he turned around, and I walked over to the bed, yanked the duvet off the bed, and wrapped it around my body. I then removed his shirt. "Here," I said, and he turned around to take it."Get yourself together and get out!" I turned away, my arms crossed across my chest.Then he scoffed and got out of bed. When he went into the bathroom, I threw myself face down on the bed and yelled into the sheets. I despised my life at the time, and the memory of last night made my stomach knot with disgust. Instead of butterflies, I felt like maggots were scurrying around in my stomach.I probably should fire him, I thought to myself as I got out of bed.He should have
Pamela:Royal kissed me breathlessly in front of a few of my family and friends, most notably my foe Liam. With a smirk on his face, he pulled away. He handed me the flower and planted a kiss on my cheeks, instantly making them flush.I was still speechless, my jaw agape, when he got down on one knee and pulled out a blue box that glittered beneath the hall's lighting. My heart was pounding faster than ever, so I swallowed hard and nibbled on my lower lips.What on earth did he think he was doing? I know he was trying to help me, but this was ridiculous.?"Royal…st…" I couldn't even form a sentence before he said the words "Will you marry me, Pamela Riles?" He inquired, opening the box to reveal the finest diamond ring I had ever seen.When I saw it, my eyes widened because I knew it had to be expensive. I was taken aback, not because of the drama he displayed, but because he could afford it.Who was this man? As I looked at him, I wondered."Say it!" Everyone was chanting.I returne
Pamela:When I looked at Liam, I literally felt my heartbeat stop. His fingers twitched and his breathing was shallow. Tears pricked my eyes and began to fall. The tears in my eyes were not sad, but rather joyful. But everything Royal did still made no sense to me."What made you do it?" Looking back at Royal, I inquired. Then the smile on his face slipped immediately."Why are you crying?" He reached for my cheeks, but I pushed him away.Then a big grin appeared on my face, and I burst out laughing, turning Royal's expression into one of awe."Pamela, are you all right?" He inquired, reaching for my shoulder. I turned to face him, laughing and gently hitting his chest with my fist."I've never felt better in my life," I said, looking him in the eyes."But why?" I inquired once more.He still hadn't responded, and I suspected he was hiding something."Pamela, I'm going to get right to the point. I need you in my life, "he said, pulling me close to his chest."I... I... don't understan
Pamela: Shock was an understatement when I saw Charles sitting majestically on his rotating chair before me. When did these all happened? My mouth opened like a fish gasping for air out of the water “Pamela?”he called, I could see the shock written all over his face, and I knew I was the last person he is expecting to see here, likewise me.I thought about turning around and walking out of his office to save the last dignity in me but I couldn’t do it. I remembered the contract I signed with Royal and the whole fake engagement drama. “Cha..Charles”I was unable to form a complete sentence, I’m such a looser. He let out a boisterous laughter, one which said "who's laughing now," and he looked at me with amusement “This is something so unexpected, I never guessed I will see you in my company looking for a job”Charles said with a smirk on his face. I never believed it either. At the moment, I was too stunned to talk—I could barely form any meaningful words from my mouth “Pamela Ril
Pamela: Morning came faster than I expected, I sighed, standing up from my bed yawning. I suddenly remembered I’m supposed to start work today and my yarning got stuck in my throat. Before I could stand up from my bed, the door suddenly opened and Royal walked into my room. “I know it’s your house but have a little bit of manner and knock next time”I said and he gave off a short laugh with a half smile on his face."It's not funny. I mean I could have been naked," I said to him, crossing my arms to my chest with creased brows."A great sight to behold then," he said, and I frowned more.“Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, right?”he asked and I huffed standing up“I should go get ready, today is a big day”I said and started making my way towards my bathroom “Yeah, we should have breakfast together. The chef is rounding up”Royal said before I walked into the bathroomI turned on the shower and exhaled deeply as the droplets of water crashed down on my body. It
Pamela: I was too dumb to talk.Charles sending me out again to get another coffee across the street is his plan to make me feel bad. It was working but I won't let him break me easily.I feel so drained from all the walking and my legs are so sore from the heels I'm wearing. Tears welled up in my eyes but I'm not about crying in front of him, I couldn't lose the last ounce of respect and pride in me.I look at him with rage radiating from my body. My temper rose to the peak but Charles choose to ignore me, his focus was on his laptop. I left his office making sure to bang the door on my way out and I heard him scream my name. "Miss Riles!"I heard him call and I squeeze my eyes shut and clasped my hands so hard that my knuckles started turning white.Anything further could actually draw blood from my hands. I went back into his office "Do you know how much that door costs? I'm sure your monthly salary couldn't afford it. be careful with expensive things, Nd you are dismissed,"
