New Month, New Beginnings (Rose P.O.V)

The sky is clear, birds are singing 🐦, cats are meowing 🐈, dogs are barking 🐕, everything is in harmony, and rose petals are flying in the air. A month had already passed and I had definitely gotten stronger.

I was more clever and tougher now, ready to face whatever that might come her way. I current aim right now was to strive no matter how many road blocks I might face.

I currently felt like the happiest person on Earth and was constantly on cloud 9. Every day passed with me glowing in happiness and being trained by Damian, I insisted on improving my physical prowess since Damian had informed me numerous times that I had no magical ability.

Today is a wonderful day and my face is filled to the brim with smiles. I hop to my office while greeting everyone on my way with a bright smile that would warm the coldest of hearts 💙 🔥 ♥️.

Just as I cracked my knuckles and prepare to work, a knock sounds and I allowed the person in, it's my secretary, Chastity.

"Good day Miss Arsenau. You have a visitor, she called herself Lisa Hope and said it's important that you meet with her" Chastity says.

My eyes widen slightly, Lisa was here. Lisa and I had not met since the catching her with Johan incident. We were originally hi and bye people, keeping our true emotions secret, but that changed after the Johan thing. My eyes steeled and confidence rushed through my veins.

"Let her in" I said to Chastity.

"OK Miss" Chastity said while leaving, before coming back with Lisa in tow and leaving once more.

Lisa looked really pretty, she had red highlights in her black hair and was sporting a kind of mysterious lady look. Suddenly, the confidence I had ran out. Seeing her made me doubt myself, my looks. Surely, I must look ugly while next to her.

"You are beautiful Irina, never doubt yourself" Damian's voice sounded in my ear.

"Thanks but were you mind dropping" I said mentally.

"I tested out a spell I developed but it went south, and caused me to hear your thoughts and talk to you mentally" Damian's voice sounded.

"Ok" I replied in my head.

"Yeah, someone needs to tell you the truth from time to time. Because, honestly speaking, if we compare both your beauties you are akin to a Queen 👸and she a peasant. You are that beautiful" Damian's voice sounded.

"Thanks" I said mentally with a smile and confidence running through me once more.

Lisa and I stared at each other for a while before I broke the silence.

"What do you want?" I ask with a carefree tone.

"Well, I want to talk with you" Lisa replies.

"That's a no brainer, what do you and I possibly want to talk about" I say.

"Johan..." Lisa tried to say but was interrupted by me.

"Are you seriously coming here to talk about my ex boyfriend which you stole by the way" I say.

"You do not understand what I am going though, you do not understand my life. I need him. Heck, I love him" Lisa says and then fell down to her knees.

"What do I have to do to make you give him to me. I was not aware that he was double dating us so do not blame me. I am innocent in this whole matter. You do not need him but I do so leave him for me" She says.

"*clap, clap, clap* what a sad story. Are you done, first of all you knew so stop lying, secondly I do not care about either you or him, thirdly kneel or you want I am not moved" I say.

"I have nothing to do with Johan. I do not love him, even if it's a stretch to say this, I hate hi..." I say but as I'm about to complete my statement Johan walks in.

He is with a bouquet 💐 of roses and some wrapped gifts 🎁. He approaches us and then falls to his knees, just opposite of Lisa.

"Rose I am sorry for all I did. I know I am not worth your forgiveness but can you please forgive me. I know I am not good enough but can you please take me back" Johan says while looking into my eyes.

I looked at him shocked, had he gone crazy.

"Get out!" I shouted at them.

I was really angry right now, first Lisa came and started spewing trash. I could tolerate her s**t and put on a smile but I could totally not do that for Johan. Who did he think he was? What did he regard me as? An object to be tossed and retrieved as he wanted.

"Deep breaths Rose, they are not worthy of your strong emotions, calm down" I muttered under my breath.

As if walking casually, I went towards my desk and leaned on it. Lisa looked like she would soon explode and Johan seemed expectant, but that was their business I had better things to do.

There was an inconspicuous security button on my desk which I gladly pushed, and waited for security to arrive. I tapped on my table to pass away time while Lisa and Johan stared at me wondering if I was considering what Johan had said.

There was a pregnant silence for a while until Lisa couldn't take it anymore and screamed in anger.

"How dare you? How dare you come here and ask her out. Did I say I was done with you" Lisa literally screamed her face radiating anger.

"Stop shouting! Rose is much better than you so I decided to move on with her. Scream all you want, it wouldn't change a thing" Johan replied with a carefree tone.

Suddenly, Lisa charged at Johan with her devastatingly long, sharp nails. She tried to scratch his face but was stopped by his action of holding her hands which only served to enrage her further. She broke free and manage to give him some nasty cuts while shouting at him. I just stood by the side as they had both forgotten my presence.

My door burst open and seven hefty men with batons walked in. I signalled at them and they dragged Lisa and Johan out.

They literally dragged them by their legs till they reached the main door of the company and then threw them out.

I sat down on my chair with a sign and massaged my forehead.

"Are you okay?" Damian asked.

"Yeah, it's just that these guys refuse to give me a break. It's been a long while since we crossed paths, why can't it stay that way" I said.

"That's how life is, cheer up" Damian said.

"I am pretty cheered up right now" I say.

I woke up with a jolt, Damien was singing. He had this terrible, annoying habit of spontaneously bursting into song. I glanced at the clock, it was just 00:30, he really needed a stern talking to so I put on my slippers and angrily walked to the living room.

I got there only for my eyes to widen, my jaw to drop and my eyes to roll and I faint.
