Her messed life

I opened my eyes and pulled away from the yellow duvet, Slowly and reluctantly, I uncovered my face. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind me. I sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my knuckles onto my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn. I watch my legs dangle above the off-white carpet

Thinking about my future, I closed my eyes to hold myself from screaming in frustration

I am Damaris lavender; I am 20 years old; I live in my apartment in New York. Yes, I survive alone. I don't know about my biological parents.

But you can say that my biological mother thinks that I am a mistake or burden, so she leaves me in an orphanage

From that day up to now, I have always conceived of being independent and successful in my career but seems like fate is not by my side, since the day I was born I think God created me to give all the misery upon me why me

shaking away unwanted thoughts from my exhausted mind, I go towards the bathroom and do my morning business

after taking shower, I put only a long loose t-shirt it stops at my mid-thighs, I enter into Kitchen and pull out packed instant food, and put it in the microwave

After taking out apple juice from the fridge, I sat on the kitchen island waiting for my food to be heated and cooked

after making up breakfast, I go towards my room opened my laptop

the first tab opened in my laptop gives breaking news of today

Billionaire Lucifer Kingston and his newly married wife Adelina are divorced now she charged him......... before I can study full article, I looked at his picture but due to slow internet connection it is not loading properly before I can get his pic, I recognized I received an email from the company, where I work as a news reporter

I am a gold medalist in a journalism course from university, but my working life is a mess and my career is on the verge to be finished

I opened the email it's from The news company where I worked they called me for some work

I raised my eyebrows, well it's been a year, and I was not handed over any promotion or worthwhile work there, they think that I am a waste and Looser, but I don't know what is today they are calling me maybe some important work note the sarcasm

well let's see what is waiting for me there I mean I hate that workplace, my colleagues always saw me as looser, I didn't get any serious task there since the day I joined, but I can't leave my job from there I mean man you have bills to pay, stomach to fill with food, at least they give me enough salary that I can't need or lack anything necessary for living and my bills also paid on time with that

plus a new job is hard to find because yes I am a gold medalist in journalism, but my working experience is not that

much impressive to get the instant job it's not my mistake they never take me worthwhile to give a worth work

and besides this public demands truth from us reporters media whenever I bring dark and corruption scams of wealthy greedy Men they (corrupted businessmen) always uses their Connections and power of erasing the evidence from my reports and as a result of my reports never shown in news articles

Sighing, I went towards my wardrobe

and put on a black shirt with black jeans and I pulled my long black hair into a bun after wearing my white sneakers

After taking my backpack, I locked the door and went towards the bus station to catch a bus to my news company, finally after fifteen minutes the bus arrived, and I sighed in relief my patience is tested enough by everyone when I got on the bus "Hey Andrew" I greeted conductor with a smile he is thirty years old man, and he took me as his sister "Hey sis" he smiled back giving me hi-fi, I slide my card and went to empty seat backward, sat beside a blonde boy who is having headphones listing song and in front of me two teenage girls, were

gossiping about celebrities

"You heard About divorce of that Greek God hunk billionaire Lucifer Kingston from his wife Adelina

They were newly married but after a month of their marriage she accused him of Abuse and Beating her" one girl with ginger white hair chirped

"yes, and I am a hundred percent sure this is false I mean come on just look at that Adelina pics when she newly married to him, look at her expensive jewelry and dresses, and look at her pics on their charity balls and banquet party how loaded and happy she looked all-time in every video and pic, do you think he can abuse her I am sure that greedy women are cooking up a false story to grab his properties in name of divorce that's why she did this trap, even it is written and pics are clearly shown in an article she mostly spends her time in parties with her Friends she and her and these other women in the party" another girl with brown hair spoke in disapproval

before I can hear more bus already reaches to it's stopped, I quickly come out and goes towards the building of news company

"Hey Xander " I smiled and greeted the receptionist he smiled back at me in friendly delight

he is one of the very few coworkers here

who is my friend and behaves like I am a human being with me

"Iris, 'iris is my nickname, he called me iris because my eye color is the iris which he likes most in me', Dylin calls you in his office it's urgent" he informed, and I nodded

Dylan is the owner of this company and my boss, but he is also my childhood friend but still, I didn't complain about

my miserable life to him, I don't want his charity I will bring my career in peak my hard work, not by nepotism

I nodded and goes towards the elevator

towards His floor, when the door of the elevator opened

I closed my eyes in frustration when I find two Disasters in front of me

Adria and Ariel two can spoil your day in disaster with their disgusting comments and rude ways

When they both looked at me, they smirked

"oh so looser is also shown up today," Adria said in disgust looking at me

I completely ignored her and went into the elevator

"You know Ariel do you see Her I mean that Adelina now ex-wife of that dreamy Greek God billionaire

Lucifer " Adria cooed with dreamy eyes

"yeah" Ariel nodded

"She is in Dylan office" Adria spoke to her leaving me in complete shock

'what she is doing here I wondered

when the elevator stops on his floor I quickly go towards Dylan's office

I knock on the door

"come in " I heard his voice and I stepped in

when I enter his office I saw Dylan

and in visitors chair

a beautiful woman with honey blonde hair she is wearing an expensive tight short red dress

I looked at them

he smiled friendly at me, and she looked at me with a bored expression

"Hey iris, so you come, very good now let's start our conversation," he said nodding me to sit, and I did

"So as you heard the breaking news of the whole USA about the divorce of That Lucifer Kingston and Adelina," he asked

"yes," I raised my eyebrows

"So as you know he physically Abused and force her," he said to me, but I didn't respond I don't know him (Lucifer) personally, but I can't predict or judge him like everyone.

"So," I asked raising my eyebrows

"You know iris you have a chance to get a promotion and save your

career," he responded smugly

I didn't respond and kept a straight face

"You have to find more dirt about him in this news, follow him spy him do everything which is in your confidence to do but find that thing which can ruin his reputation completely," he said to me making me shocked

I stand up angrily and Adelina frowns looking at me

"What the heck, I am not doing such a thing Dylan why will I ruin his reputation when I don't know anything personal about him, and he can be innocent too," I snapped at him,

I don't know what comes to me, but I managed to speak up this

"You filthy piece of trash, just do what you are ordered to don't question" Adelina barked at me angrily

I frowned at her who the hell is she to talk to me like this

Before I can give her a comeback Dylan interrupted

" Adelina, don't talk to her like this, she is my childhood friend you can't speak to her as this" Dylin said to her sharply

She looked away angrily

"Iris, just think about it, you have to find some personal dirt about him which we can use in the story and our channel viewers will increase by it and I promise I will give you a promotion for that, besides it will also help Adelina in her legal battle with him, "he said looking at her smirking and she smiled at him sweetly

Well what if Lucifer Kingston, was a bad man what if he beat her and abuse her, besides this, I know these wealthy billionaires are full of corruption, money minded and evil, my career is on verge of ending because of them, if I agree for this project, I will also get my promotion here and my career will also become good again,

sighing I closed my eyes

"I am ready to work on this," I spoke looking at Dylan, I sense Adelina smirking smugly

Am I doing the right thing is this is right.
