Cameron was Giselle's best friend.Giselle can’t believe Cameron is right in front of her.And she looked very different and beautiful.And in a lab coat.She had succeeded in becoming a doctor.Oh my gosh.Giselle couldn't stop staring at her. Cameron was staring back, but in a strange way.Wasn't she happy to see her?Rob pinched Giselle lightly, making her look at him. He moved his eyes, signaling her to pay attention.Giselle noticed everyone looking at her, including Xavier. She realized that she had just interrupted rudely.Oh gosh.Xavier scoffed.Giselle dropped her gaze."Forgive the insolence of my pathetic personal assistant, Mr. Vincent," Xavier said, making her clench the file and fight herself internally.She had gotten carried away."It is okay, Mr. Sheffield. I understand how incompetent employees can be," Mr. Vincent replied.Giselle sighed softly.Xavier let out a chuckle. "I am glad you do. This way, please." He led the way to what she thought was the meeting hall.

"Oh, my. Are you okay?" Rob asked, walking towards Giselle who is on the floor."You have got to be kidding me," Xavier said."What a clumsy PA you have here, Mr. Sheffield," Mr. Vincent said amusingly as Giselle moved to get up while Rob picked up the papers for her."Just give the files to me, Rob," Xavier said, sounding pissed. He collected the files from Rob angrily. Giselle stood up straight."I am sor—""You, get the fuck out!" he yelled at her.A pool of humiliation poured over Giselle.She walked towards her seat, picked up her bag, and walked out of the hall."I apologize for the incompetence, Mr. Vincent. Let's discuss the monetary terms," she heard Xavier say as she closed the door.Letting out a sigh, she moved towards the waiting seats on the left side of the door.Giselle sat down, feeling tears welling up but suppressing them.She had just humiliated herself in front of everyone. Nice try, Giselle.Could working there get any worse?She exhaled as she dipped her hand in

The cold night is refreshing and pleasing. The street lights is igniting the dark nature of the night, adding to its beauty. A black car pulled up in front of a tall fancy building. The front seat door opened. "See you tomorrow," Mr Vincent said to Cameron, who nodded with a smile and got off the car. She looked at him after closing the door. "Your car will be available tomorrow." He said to her. "Thank you very much, sir." Cameron said, smiling. "You are welcome. Good night." He said. She waved a little at him as he drove away. Her smile fell as she stared at his car. She walked into the building through the glass doors. Her black heels, clicking on the spotless tiled floors claimed the attention of the male receptionist. "Welcome, ma'am." The receptionist greeted her.She didn't respond or look his way but walked towards the elevator. The receptionist dropped his gaze on his laptop. "Okay, nice snob." He muttered, looking towards the elevator. Cameron walked into the elev

"I did everything possible to bring her down academically. I made her go with me to parties I don't even want to go to. I made her drink a lot but still, she always maintained her straight A's!" Cameron yelled, making Ava flinch. Cameron scoffed. "I was the happiest when she told me she won't be able to further her education. That was an opportunity for me to be bigger than her as I have always wanted. I was fucked excited about the news. But she revealed her marriage as well." "Marriage?" Ava asked. Cameron scoffed. "The bitch got married to the most handsome man I have ever since." Ava furrowed her brows in confusion. "Xavier Sheffield. A fucking Greek god. He had nothing when he married her. He was a church rat." Cameron said. Ava gave it a thought. "That should be a great news. I mean, she ended up with a broke man. Isn't it a good thing?" She asked. Cameron scoffed and turned to her. "Why the hell would she even get married before me?" Ava raised her brows. "I am a year

Archie asked Giselle as she helped him put on his t-shirt, "Mum, are you going to work today?""Yes. It is Friday, not the weekend yet," she replied, reaching for the comb on the nightstand."Don't go to work today," he whined."Yes, Mum. Don't go. Stay with us," Ayla chimed in, standing next to her with a towel wrapped around her little body."Yes, Mum, stay with us," Archie echoed."I wish I could, but I have to go to work. If I don't work, we won't eat," Giselle explained, using the comb on Archie’s hair."But we do eat. Blaire makes food for us all the time," Ayla pointed out."That's because she is the best. But we can't continue relying on her food. I have to support her financially, and you both have to go to school," Giselle said, placing the comb down.She turned to Ayla. "When are we even going to school?" Ayla asked.Giselle opened her mouth to speak, but Archie interrupted. "Do you want to go to school?""No," Ayla answered."What the...?" Giselle thought."Me neither," A

As Giselle walked out of the building, the kids called, "Bye Mum!" in unison. They stood on the balcony with Blaire, waving at her."Bye," she waved back.Turning to the road, Giselle walked out of the streets and headed toward the bus stand. A bus stopped just as she arrived.She entered and joined the others who were standing, holding onto the overhead holder.Giselle wore a green knee-length dress. It was old but still fit her well. She felt tired of wearing skirts and shirts and recognized she would have to get used to them—they were like uniforms for the company.The bus kept moving, and everyone inside focused on the road, minding their own business.As they drove past the school Giselle wanted to enroll her kids in, she felt hopeful. It wasn't far from home, and she believed it would be perfect for them.They would resume on Monday. She didn't want them to continue staying at home; they were missing out on so much. She planned to use her last savings to register them and then w

“What are friends for?" Cameron asked, forcing a smile at the person she hates the most in the entire world. Giselle smiled at her, feeling a little bit secured thanks to her best friend. Cameron always makes her feel this way. Secured and assured that everything will be fine. And she believes it will. She dropped her gaze on the cup in her hands, thinking about how she would get Xavier’s hair or a cup he sipped from. It is going to be hard but she has to try.She thought about what Blaire said. Her and the kids deserve a good life. But she is not doing this for herself but for the kids. They are innocent humans who deserve a good life. She has to try and get this DNA test done. She hopes it comes out positive. She hopes Xavier is the father of her both kids. Not one. Not none. Cameron stared at her ignorant enemy. It is taking her a lot not to squeeze the daylight out the plastic cup in her hands right now. God, she hate Giselle so much. This news has done nothing but add to

Giselle watched as Xavier and Arabella held each other while speaking to Cameron. Her heart ached every time she saw them together. They had actually shared a kiss just seconds ago. She wasn't sure why she had looked their way; it was so annoying.She focused on the files, trying her hardest to understand what Rob was saying, but she couldn't concentrate because of Xavier.This was so annoying.She needed to get Xavier’s hair for the DNA test. That would be difficult, so she planned to go for his cup. But he hadn't asked for coffee or wine since then.Wasn't he thirsty?"Do you understand?" Rob asked, making her look at him.He raised an eyebrow at her.Giselle shook her head.He sighed. "Come on, Giselle, I have been explaining this to you for almost an hour," he said, sounding frustrated.She felt terrible instantly."Where is your attention?" he asked."I'm sorry, Rob. I was...""Just take it and go through them. I need a break," he said, handing the files to her and walking away.

Loads of regrets washed over her as he smirked at her.She felt terrible.She felt dirty.She felt shameful.She felt pissed beyond anything. She pushed him away, and he almost fell."You bastard!" she yelled, pushing him again."Don't you ever come near me again!" she almost cried, running out of the kitchen.She ran toward the restroom and entered one of the stalls. Sitting on the toilet seat, she covered her face with her hands.She cried silently, feeling very awful.That didn’t just happen to her.He was a devil.He was a bastard!She hated him!She hated him so much.What is wrong with you, Giselle? How could she let him come near you like that?How?!What is wrong with you?!She hugged herself, sniffling.She felt so pathetic.She couldn’t believe she let this happen.She felt very awful.Damn you, Xavier.Damn you!*******After some minutes in the bathroom, she headed back to the studio. She managed to compose herself before stepping out.She still felt awful, but she had to

Giselle turned her gaze away from Xavier just as Damien pulled away from the hug. He gave her a pleasant smile, and she returned it, though a wave of nervousness still lingered beneath the surface.She felt exposed beneath the dress, knowing there was nothing underneath to shield her, though the fabric did its job—barely. The slit ran dangerously high.Harley had picked the dress for her.In fact, Harley had orchestrated everything. She had intentionally caused delays in their preparations and misled Rob with false information.She’d wanted to mess with Arabella a little, claiming Arabella would fall for the misinformation and act immediately.Giselle had her doubts—but looking at Arabella now, caked in makeup and visibly fuming, it was obvious she had taken the bait.It was actually hilarious.“So, what do you think, Damien?” Harley asked.Damien shook his head slowly, his eyes still fixed on Giselle with awe, much like the others in the room.“I think I’m going to make a lot of sale

Ava bit her lips, regretting asking the question. Well, she can't back down now. She has to finish what she started.She couldn't ignore the signs. Her curiosity had to get the best of her.She seriously can't believe Giselle is here and in front of her.The same Giselle her mean girlfriend hates so much."Um...Cameron is an old friend. She talks about her friend called Giselle sometimes." Ava said.Giselle’s face twitched."So I wanted to know if you are the same Giselle she was talking about." Ava said."Yes. Cameron is my best friend." Giselle said, smiling a little.Ava is amazed by that.Giselle is not as she expected. She just called Cameron her best friend.And happily too.Giselle is instantly reminded of the little issue between her and Cameron."But we.....," she paused, looking at her fingers but looked back at Ava. "We are not in good terms."Ava nodded. "Really? Mind telling me why?Giselle shrugged but furrowed her brows a little as she recalled something."Wait, are you

Giselle furrowed her brows as Ava continued staring at her in a blank but strange way."Do you know her?" Elodie asked Ava."What? No, no. Her name is just familiar," Ava said, extending her hand to Giselle and smiling.They shook hands."It is nice to meet you," Ava said."Same here," Giselle replied, smiling a little."So, where did you and my dad meet?" Elodie asked Giselle."I told you, princess," Damien said."I know, Dad. I just want to hear it again, but from her," Elodie said, smiling at Giselle.Giselle let out a chuckle. "We met at the mall. He was buying some pretty dresses for you," she said, making Elodie giggle."And we met again today at the company where I work," Giselle added."That means you both are meant to be," Elodie said, making them chuckle."That's enough questions, princess. Let's have dessert," Damien said, motioning toward the dining table.Elodie held Giselle's hand as they headed toward the dining table.She is so adorable, Giselle thought.When they reac

Xavier was scowling at her, still pinning her to the wall.She struggled to push him away, but his strength was always too strong to fight against."What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you keep following me, huh? Go and be with your perfect baby girlfriend," she said angrily."What's your deal with my client, huh?" he asked, ignoring her words.She scoffed. Seriously?"What's your deal with him? All of a sudden he wants a change and he chose you?""Yes, he chose me. Why do you have a problem with that?" she replied.He clenched his jaw."What? Are you upset he doesn't want your mighty celebrity model anymore?"He didn't respond but kept scowling at her."News flash, Xavier, the world doesn't, and won't revolve around her even if you are the wealthiest man on earth," she retorted.He hummed. "I see. I get it now. I see why he prefers you."She looked away from him."Damien is one of your clients, isn't he?"She looked at him with furrowed brows. "Excuse me?""He is one of those men

“Yes, that's right. Damien from the mall the other day," Harley said.Giselle nodded slightly as Damien kept staring at her. She moved a strand of her hair behind her ear nervously. He was dressed in a blue suit, looking more handsome than the first time she saw him."You didn't tell us you were THE Damien Walker of Walker Textiles. Hell, you didn't show off as a CEO," Harley said, making Damien chuckle."No, I don't do that. Especially when I was smitten by your sister here," Damien said, looking at Giselle."Oh," Harley responded.Damien smiled at Giselle, and she smiled back."She is not her sister," Xavier spoke up, claiming their attention and reminding them of his presence."What?" Damien asked."She is Harley’s assistant," Xavier said."Well, she is more than that, Damien. That's why I called her my sister," Harley said, smiling at Damien."I see," Damien said. He extended his hand to Giselle. She placed her hand in his."I am happy to see you again, sunshine. You look stunning

“We have to talk," Arabella said, making Giselle roll her eyes."I have nothing to say to you," she replied, walking past her."You think you are winning, aren't you? Because Harley has your back."Giselle stopped in her tracks and turned to her.Arabella raised her brows. “Excuse me?" Giselle asked. "You heard me.""What? Are you jealous?" Giselle asked.Arabella scoffed. "Of you? Stop dreaming, bitch."Giselle chuckled. "You are jealous, Arabella. Harley is Xavier’s only family. You are jealous because you don't have her approval to marry her brother," she said, smiling.Arabella scowled at her."I am correct, aren't I?" Giselle asked. Arabella didn't respond."I know you are young. But you shouldn't be a fool as well." Giselle said. "What the fuck did you just say to me?" Arabella asked. "You heard me. You want to marry Xavier so bad, right? You should be trying to get his sister's approval and not provoke her like you did back at the studio." Giselle said. Arabella scoffed.

Just as she had thought. That stranger was her twins' father. The DNA test results had just proved it.Her heart tightened severely as she looked at the results."I am so sorry, Giselle," Cameron said, drawing Giselle's attention."I know you wanted Xavier to be their father," Cameron added.Giselle shook her head. "It's okay. I did want that, but it is clear now. Everything ended between Xavier and me a long time ago. These results just confirmed it," she said, dropping her gaze as tears threatened to spill.Cameron quickly collected the results from her, making Giselle look at her.Cameron was staring at something behind Giselle. "Xavier’s sister is coming," she whispered, causing Giselle's heart to drop."Is something wrong, Giselle?” Harley asked.Giselle turned to her. "Huh, nothing. Nothing is wrong. Just talking with my friend," she replied.Harley folded her hands and looked at Cameron."Hmm, friend. Cameron, right?" Harley asked."Yes. Doctor Cameron, it is nice to formall

Giselle's heart pounded as Xavier got closer to her. His piercing blue eyes on hers made her very uneasy.Seriously, why is he here?!"Xavier...""What the fuck are you wearing?" he retorted.She was taken aback by his question.Was that the reason he followed her up here? To ask her about her dress?He was scowling at her.She managed to put on a smile. "I am wearing a dress. What? Do you like it?"He clenched his jaw angrily. "Don't fuck with me, Giselle," he snarled.Giselle shrugged. "What did I do?"He closed his eyes and opened them as if trying to suppress his anger.What was with him?"What is it with you and my sister, huh? Why the fucking foolishness?" he asked.She scoffed. "Foolishness? Your sister employed me as her assistant. I don't see any foolishness in that. Why does it upset you, huh?"He scowled at her."What? Do you hate the fact that I am no longer slaving around for you or cleaning like you wanted me to?" she asked, and the next thing he did was grab her arm, ca
