“Did you see my ring on her finger? You remember it, don't you? That's my mother's diamond ring.""You had it, but you chose to defile it with your slutty ways.""But it is fine. It is now on the finger of a more beautiful and genuine woman. A celebrity model who suits my class and status."Giselle's heart tightened severely as Xavier’s awful words repeated in her mind. Tears rolled down her cheeks continuously as she focused her gaze on the road through the windows.She was currently on a bus, heading to Blaire’s place. It was late already, past closing hours. The night was cold because of the rain, and she didn't have an umbrella. According to the address Blaire had given her, she figured she would still have to walk in the rain to reach Blaire’s apartment.That was the least of her worries. She hated her life. She hated everything that was happening to her. She hated herself so much and regretted every bit of her actions from that fateful night five years ago. That night had ruined

“Bye, Mum!" Giselle's kids said in unison from the balcony for the fifth time that morning. They were waving at her, along with Blaire, who stood there with them.Giselle waved back before crossing the busy street. The street was a bit rowdy but better than where they used to live.She hadn’t slept well last night. It wasn’t because of the noise outside but because of her awful situation. She shared a room with her kids and spent the night staring at them, thinking about everything.She had started to kill her feelings for Xavier. It was going to take time, but she was trying.Giselle hoped today would be better than yesterday. She had to ignore all the negative thoughts and focus on work.Everything would be fine.She stood at the bus stop with other people, waiting for a bus. She glanced at her tiny wristwatch; it was seven o'clock. Rob had said Xavier came to work around eight, so she had just one hour.Actually, thirty minutes. She needed to be at work before Xavier. She really h

Xavier stood there, staring at his best friend, Mason, and his ex-wife, and all he could feel was rage about Mason’s hands on her. As the woman he once loved stood there, her gaze fixed downward, he couldn't help but think, *The bitch knows what she did.*"Xavier, hey," Mason said, making Xavier look at him."What is going on here?" Xavier asked, his voice sharp.Mason huffed. "Nothing. I was on my way to your office when this beautiful but quite familiar woman bumped into me." He glanced at her, but she kept her gaze down.Xavier scoffed, ignoring Mason's compliment. "Let me guess, you were once her lover?" he asked, noticing the pain flash across her face.He stared at her blankly.Mason scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous, man. I said she looks familiar. Certainly not in the way you're thinking."Xavier hummed. "I see. Well, she has a history of having lovers, which is why I thought of that when you said she is beautiful and familiar." He looked at her again. Her gaze remained downcast,

“Get that thing out of my office right now," Xavier ordered, feeling his blood boil.Giselle picked up the tray with the pieces of the shattered glasses and stood to her feet.Mason did the same. “Are you sure you are okay?" he asked Giselle. "Yes, thank you, sir," she replied, making Xavier scoff as she headed for the door."Babe, I am talking to you." Arabella caught his attention."I'm sorry, sweetie. I just can't tolerate nonsense in my office," he said, glancing at Mason.Mason heaved a sigh and walked towards Xavier's desk. "What the hell is your problem this morning, man?" he asked, taking a seat.Xavier didn’t respond."See what I told you, Arabella? Your husband-to-be woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," Mason said.Xavier threw him a glare."I can see that, Mason," Arabella said, dusting off an invisible speck on his suit and cupping his cheek. He rested his gaze on her hazel eyes, one of the things that had attracted him to her."But he had fun with me on the same

“Thank you," Mason said, smiling at Giselle after she placed his glass of red wine in front of him.She forced a smile as well and was about to walk towards Xavier’s table when..."Seriously?" Xavier asked, making her freeze."You have some nerve, don't you, Miss Harrison?" Xavier said, walking closer. She furrowed her brows.He stood behind his chair, looking at her. Her heart pounded as he continued."How dare you flirt with my best friend in my office, Miss Harrison?" he asked, making her furrow her brows in confusion.What? Flirt? Giselle asked internally. He was looking at her unpleasantly."Xavier, what the hell?" Mason interjected.Xavier raised his finger at him, silencing him.He turned back to Giselle. "I asked you a question.""I wasn't flir—""Are you calling me blind?" he interrupted.She shook her head."Have you no shame, huh?"What was he on about? She didn’t understand..."Are you that starved that you can't help but flirt with any man you see?!" he snapped, glaring

Arabella stood in the middle, dressed in a very revealing red dress with makeup applied perfectly. Her two familiar friends were busy working on her look.She looked stunning."What kept you?" She asked Xavier, who was walking toward her."I am sorry, baby. I was working on something," he replied, moving his hands around her waist and holding her close. He pecked her lips, making Giselle drop her gaze.She stood close to Rob, a bit far from Xavier and his fiancée.Fiancée.Giselle scoffed internally, feeling her heart ache at the word.She recalled all he had said about her. He called her classy and very beautiful. He claimed she was better than Giselle.Better and more beautiful.And she suited his new status.A billionaire CEO and a celebrity model. It didn't suit his new status.She is...Stop, Giselle. Stop it.Focus on work.Giselle cautioned herself as she glanced at Rob, who was jotting something down."You are so sexy," she heard Xavier say to his fiancée.She chuckled, prompt

“What kid?" Xavier asked and terror washed over Giselle.He was looking at her, expecting an answer."No... nothing, sir," she stuttered."What kid are you talking about, Miss Harrison?" he insisted.Her heart felt like it was about to explode."Dude, chill," Mason said.Xavier shot him a glare, silencing him. Mason raised his hands in surrender.Xavier turned his attention back to Giselle.Terror washed over her again.She clenched her phone with her sweaty hand."I am listening, Miss Harrison," he said."I... my..." She cleared her throat, dropping her gaze."Have you lost your ability to speak?" he asked.She shook her head."Then tell me what kids you were talking about.""My... my neighbor's kids," she said, looking up at him.He raised his brows at her."I am their nanny," she lied.He scoffed. "Nanny?"She nodded."You work as a nanny as well," he said.She nodded again."Wow," Mason remarked, making her glance at him.He furrowed his brows, confused.She looked back at Xavier.

Hunger.Rough mode.Desire.Passion.Longing.All of it was evident in this least expected kiss. His hands moved down from her cheeks and wrapped around her waist, and she easily gave in, kissing him back and running her fingers through his hair.It was still as soft as the last time she had touched it.He moved her to the other wall, pinning her against it, making her let out an involuntary moan as he continued kissing her. His lips took more of hers hungrily.Roughly.Her entire body was on fire.Her heart was practically dancing.She felt a familiar, long-lost feeling in between her legs.She couldn't believe what was happening. She didn't know what had gotten into him.She didn’t even want to think about it.This was amazing.His touch was always amazing.She had really missed it.She missed him so much.She ran her fingers through his hair more. The last thing she wanted was for this to end.She didn’t want it to end.Please don’t end. She begged internally. His lips moved down,

Giselle sighed as she unlocked the door to Harley’s office. She walked in and turned on the lights.So much for partying.If it weren't for Damien, she wouldn't be there. She would be with her kids right now, not witnessing the drama between Xavier and Arabella.So annoying.She couldn't even drink. She was banned from taking anything beyond water and fruit juice.Drinks had literally destroyed her. She couldn't let that happen again.She walked toward the desk and picked up the only file on it, which had "Monday" written on it.Opening it, she discovered it was Walker’s shoot. Wow. Another shoot. She blushed, recalling her huge portrait on the wall of his company building.She couldn't believe her eyes. She looked very beautiful in the picture.She loved it.Damien was such a nice guy. He had paid for everything she was wearing. He had taken her to a nice restaurant and a spa where she got everything done.He was very nice.No doubt she liked him.What was there not to like?She turn

The night is beautiful and a bit windy. It is past eight pm and the city's lights are igniting the beautiful city. Lens Masterpiece company has two huge lights at top of the building that is pointing to the sky. The building is booming with music, and moving down, you would see a projector on the wall of the building, displaying most of Arabella’s personal pictures and some of her and Xavier together. A lot of exotic cars are piling up in front of building. There are a lot of press and photographers all over the place taking pictures of the arriving guests in their beautiful attires. There are flashes of lights from the cameras all over the area, giving the sense of a Met Gala event or Oscars. There is a red carpet on the ground, leading from the end spot of the company's compound to the inside of the company. There is also a long red ribbon on both sides of the carpet, separating the press and the photographers from the carpet pathway. Guests dressed in very beautiful and expen

Giselle furrowed her brows in confusion.Why is she here?How did she get here?She looked at the bed. Her kids were not with her.What was going on? She didn’t understand.She moved to get out of the bed, but the door opened, revealing Xavier.She froze.He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, holding a covered plate and a glass of juice in his hands.She furrowed her brows.He smiled at her the moment their eyes locked."Good morning, baby," he said, walking towards her."Baby?""Rise and shine," he said, placing the plate and glass on the nightstand.He leaned in front of her, smiling.She shifted a little, confused to say the least."What's wrong?" he asked, furrowing his brows."What is this, Xavier?""What do you mean?" he asked, pretending as always.She scoffed, standing on her feet and moving away from him."Baby, what is—""Baby?" she retorted, scoffing.He furrowed his brows."Did you kidnap me?""What?""Yes. That's what you did. You kidnapped me. Where are my

Giselle's heart raced more than it already did. Xavier was kissing her roughly and holding her tightly.What had gotten into him all of a sudden?She struggled to push him away from her. She moaned out of frustration, hitting his shoulders with her hands, but he kept on kissing her. He held the back of her head tightly.She felt pressure between her legs. She experienced a lot of emotions: adrenaline, goosebumps, pressure, and anger.He was too strong for her. She didn't like this. What was wrong with him?He moved them toward his desk, making her rest on it as he continued kissing her.She did what her instincts told her to do. She kicked his groin, making him let out a groan and release her. She attempted to run away, but he held her hand and drew her back.In an instant, she gave him a hard slap on the face, making him look away.Giselle was panting in anger. She wanted to hit him again and again. He deserved it. He was her worst nightmare.Her worst mistake!“You bastard! Don’t yo

“Big sis," Alex called.Giselle got on her feet and walked around her desk while still staring at Alex. He was amazed to see her.So was she.He looked different. Different from the little Alex she used to carry in her arms all those years ago. She hadn't seen him in a long time, even after she got married.He was very tall, muscular, and very handsome too.She got closer to him, and they hugged each other."I can't believe my eyes," he said, unwrapping her and looking at her from head to toe."You look different and more beautiful," he added.She chuckled. "Oh my God, Alex. You don't know how happy I am to see you.""Me too, big sis. I looked for you after our parents told me what happened. I couldn't reach you. Aria and I couldn't reach you. I still can't believe what they told me."She stared at him."That you are not my real sister," he added.Her heart clenched."Seriously, sis, I didn't know. Aria and I didn't know until they kicked you out," he said worriedly.She nodded. "It

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
