A Secretary's Vendetta Two Different World
Aurora POV:I packed my gear and headed home. On my way home, it was still running a course in my mind, I hoped I wasn't hard on him. Well, it is very awkward, being crushed on by someone you have thought about in that light, there was no manual to letting them down slowly without hurting their feelings, but doing so only makes their fingers lingers on, which makes it harder on them and more akward for you. The only way to help them get over it is to reject them ruthlessly, it's like stepping on a worm firmly so it doesn't squirm. That's what I will do crush his heart so the feelings die painlessly.I caught myself thinking, I wasn't any different from Mr. Angelo afterall, bold of me to assume I was any better than him. Perhaps that was what he thought, when he ruthlessly reject me too. No! I'm different from him, I was trying to help someone get over me, he is nothing short of a vile human being. "Aurora, what's wrong with you, you look pale" My mom said the minute I walked."I'm f
A Secretary's Vendetta Good to be Back
Aurora POV:I must admit, It was great to be back at work. It was an underrated bliss to work at a job, you find so much peace of mind with. The atmosphere around the work today was a bit strange, not ill strange just strange. Probably because of the new faces I kept seeing or the series of new activities. How could I have missed so much in two days?I was staring at my computer as I went through my daily routines. I took a glance at the clothes arranged on top of each other on the desk beside the computer and the box of pieces of jewelry right on top of it. It was every single one of the clothes Mr. Jordan had bought for me, including the ones I had worn from the hospital. It was never a debate nor did it for once cross my mind if I should keep it. I did love them, they looked beautiful and befitting but they weren't mine to keep. I cease to exist the day I ever shamelessly hoard someone else's clothes. I had been waiting for Mr. Jordan, but I have reasons to believe he has been av
A Secretary's Vendetta First Betrayal
Aurora POV:I was so confused, that I couldn't place a finger on why the sudden change was, was it guilt? Nothing else, it had to be guilt. He had nothing to hide, what could be so hideous about his marriage breaking apart, he had to be so cold about it. Unless, of course, he did have something to hide, he did assault his wife. Perhaps, what Mr. Angelo said was true. He acts all nice because has something to hide, he is nice because deep down he is a bad man. Now, I have a decision to make, either I quit the job or ignore the fact he was a woman beater. It would be hypocritical of me to continue working for him. I will have to quit, there's no going back. I will have to quit!I didn't particularly have a straight moral compass nor act upon one, but I can never look at him the same way knowing what he did, beating the woman who had a child for him. I can't look at him the same way. I would see every nice gesture from him as pretense and him as a faker, it would only grow worse with tim
A Secretary's Vendetta Never Again!
Aurora POV:I stared at him, he looked like a wet puppy.I felt sorry, I felt so sorry for him. I felt even worse for making him talk about it, I made him open a healing wound."Why did you allow her to get away with it?""I was scared" he replied."Scared? Scared of what?" I asked "I didn't want the whole town to know I was a victim of paternity fraud, I didn't know how they would react to it. Would they pity me or would they make a mockery of me, the first was as bad as the other. I would never be gazed upon with respect again, instead, I would be seen as the man jilted by his lover" "You were willing to lose your money" "I wasn't thinking about the money that time, I just lost my whole world. She was the reason I was so hell-bent on making more money to make her happy." The gaze in his eyes told me all I needed to know. He meant every word he said. "Besides, since she left I've made more money than I could ever imagine" "Did you hate her?" I asked curious "I still loved her,
A Secretary's Vendetta Good Cop, Bad Cop.
Micheal POV:Officer Mark and I sat in the car waiting. "Is that her?" he asked pointing to a dark Sedan that just parked in front of a house. "Yeah, it is" I replied.He motioned to get out of the car, and I quickly held him back. Wait! You would scare her off" He eased back to his sitting position, We watched the woman get out of her car, she walked to the back of her and picked up a couple of groceries from the trunk before heading to the house.He motioned to get out of the car again, I held him back again. "Wait, let's give her five more minutes to settle down""Where Is her picture," he asked "I reached for a photograph in my dashboard and handed it to him.We waited patiently in the car, with a comfortable silence. I had obtained the CCTV camera from the motel, but it was very blurry. It was against law to have a camera to have a camera in the motel room so I had to settle for that in the receptionist. Whoever suggested the motel between the two of them knew. Either Aurora's
A Secretary's Vendetta The Hatred We Shared
Aurora POV:He entered my office for the umpteenth time today. "Apollos told me he was done" "Yes sir.""Great, it should be safe from any external attack, It should be fortified from any Malware." He said with a grin. I nodded."Aurora" he called softly "Yes sir" "Could you help me out with something?" He asked"Of course sir, I certainly will" "Do you have plans for tonight?""Not, the forecast predicted first snow tonight, I was hoping to wrap under a blanket""May I borrow you again, I need you to come over to my house?" I raised my brow."May I know why?""My parents and families are coming back, We usually have a little dinner together every year. They often come this time of the year but they are back earlier than usual. I didn't know it would be tonight. We usually have a little dinner""So, how may I help you with that boss?" I asked curiously"I need you to accompany me or better still come over to my place," He said "Can you?" He askedIt doesn't seem like a bad arra
A Secretary's Vendetta You lied to Me
Michael POV:I had already called Cal ahead of my impromptu visit, he sounded confused over the phone so I simply hung up and waited till we met in person. He was already outside waiting for me, I could see the surprise on his face when Mark came out through the passenger door. "You both are together and not fighting""He is helping me solve a case" "Yeah I figured, how did you both find a common ground""As much as I want to satisfy your curiosity, I rather have an urgent matter to attend to Cal" He could see the seriousness on my face and figured out I wasn't in the mood for jokes."What did you want?" He asked "I want the whole CCTV footage of that night" "Why, I thought they found all they needed to already""Not yet, that's why I need to see it for myself" "I no longer have it""What do you mean you no longer have it" I asked wide-eyed "I deleted it" "Why, why would you do it" "Leo, he implored me to""Leo fucking Jordan asked you to delete it and you did. Are you spast
A Secretary's Vendetta The Town of White Mountains
Aurora POV :I drove towads Victorian residence, The road rises and dips, dead fields of cornstalks flash by. The gentle snowfall outside added to the enchantment of the moment. The flakes drifted lazily from the darkened sky, casting a serene ambiance over the Victorian mansion.The house was built of stone and wood, its façade a mixture of rugged textures and smooth finishes that blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Its roof was made of slate tiles that shimmered in the sunlight, and its windows were large and inviting, offering stunning views of the mountains and valleys that stretched out in all directions.I pull around the drive and stop near the front door. It looks slightly different from the last time came. I did later realize the mild lightning and decoration was the reason for the change and the empty surroundings was also a huge difference, there was barely any sign of a living soul. Not sure whether to just barge in or allow Mr. Jordan to walk in with me, I be
