Milady Chapter 35: His father
Charlotte Hayes’ POV“But it doesn’t matter, darling. Let them hear all they want. They can't do a thing about it anyways,” Damien said with a chuckle. I woke up early, only to hear these breathtaking comments coming from his mouth. I hopelessly sighs in embarrassment as I cover my face with my palms. After a few teasing moments with him, we went to the dining hall in matching outfits; ofcourse, only after getting ready. “What a lovely morning, isn’t it?” Damien's mother asks, whilst holding a cup of tea. We are currently gathered around the dining table with a mountain of foods placed on the table. Damien and I sat beside each other, while his mother was sitting before us in a graceful way; one that noble ladies possess. Not too long, Damien’s father appeared on the scene. It almost felt like a family gathering, in which the parents test me if I’m good enough to be their son’s lover. “Oh?” Damien’s father asked with a grin on his face. I stood up, and slightly bowed to his presence
Milady Chapter 36: Damien strikes!
Damien Yves Etienne’s POV“What were you thinking when you decided to have an affair with Charlotte?” Father crosses his arms in confusion. The three of us—mother, father, and me are currently inside an empty room that's often used for gathering. Mother is sitting in front of me, whilst sipping a cup of tea in a gentle manner. Father on the other hand, remains focused on his son with a cold glare. I sigh, as I replied, “I didn’t really give much thought to it. The moment she suggested the topic, I immediately thought to myself that this woman is crazy… and that’s how I like it.”Mother smiles as if she’s proud of my answer, while my father gave out a sigh; a hopeless one. “So? What exactly are you planning now that you have an affair? You can’t just stay like this forever,” father replies with a frown on his face. “I know that,” I added, “I, too, am thinking what to do next.” A problematic look appears on my face, as my eyebrows twitch. I know exactly that I have to make my move first
Milady Chapter 37: A certain someone
Jake Hayes’ POV“A party?” I said, pressing my phone on my ear, while having a call with my manager, Rosalina Crosette. “Yes, Jake. I know it sounds all of the blue, but the CEO requires everyone to attend the party tonight,” she says with a slightly worried tone. “Why would he call for a party?” I mumbled to myself, as I ended the call. Aviana and I are currently laying on one bed, in the embrace of one another. “What was that?” she asks, looking up to me. “Hm.” I looked at the phone, and then looked back at her. “It seems like Damien is hosting a party at the agency today. It awfully sounds weird…” I mumbled. But then who cares? If he’s trying to do something fishy, I can always repay him with the upcoming runway modeling event. Aviana sighs, “So? Are you gonna go?” I chuckled at her statement and nodded. “I guess I am. I’ll see what he has in plan tonight.” Aviana looked at me with concern in her eyes and said, “I have a bad feeling..” I continued to laugh and reassured her, sayin
Milady Chapter 38: Manipulation
Charlotte Hayes’ POVThe grand hall of the building had been transformed into a dazzling spectacle of elegance and style. From the moment the guests entered, they were enveloped in a sea of beauty and luxury. Gleaming crystal fixtures adorned the walls, casting a shimmering light over the marble floors. The speakers were replaced by a live orchestra that set the tone for the night, playing classical melodies as waiters and waitresses moved through the crowd, offering champagne and canapés.Everywhere you looked, there were recognizable faces from the fashion, music, and movie industries, all dressed to the nines in their finest designer gowns and tuxedos. The air was heavy with the scent of expensive perfume and cigar smoke, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement for the evening ahead. “Let us welcome the hosts for tonight’s party, Mr. Etienne and his lovely partner..” Luca continued, “Mrs. Charlotte Hayes!” Me and Damien were dressed to the nines, looking every bit the part
Milady Chapter 39: Like wildfire
Damien Yves Etienne’s POV“Greetings, Mr. Etienne,” one of the guests, Charmayne and her husband came towards me whilst holding a glass of booze in their hand. Charmayne is known as an influential person, considering her wealth and power she holds; but compared to me, her influence is nothing but a mere speck. “Oh, how lovely to see you here, Mrs. and Mr. Hans,” I gave out a slight smile to pretend to be welcoming. “My husband and I thank you for inviting us to this party,” she continued with a flustered look on her face, “But I must say that I am quite flustered from receiving an invitation out of the blue.”I laughed softly at her remarks and said with a smile on my face, “Oh, pardon me for the abrupt invitation. I wanted the party tonight so I had to do this.” “But yet… I am quite confused why you would suddenly call out for a party,” she continued, “You’re not the type to enjoy parties.” I smiled at her remarks without replying back. I looked at the hall, filled with people; celeb
Milady Chapter 40: A party for actors
Jake Hayes’ POVA wave of whispers washes over me. It's an uncanny sensation, as if every person in the room is staring directly at me, judging me. The murmurs grow louder, and I can't make out any distinct words, just a chorus of agitated voices. As I walk forward with Aviana holding my arm, the stares become glares, and the whispers grow to hisses. I feel as though I'm walking through a minefield, one that's ready to explode at any moment. The pressure is intense, the tension almost unbearable. It's as if the entire room, every person in it, is against me.“What is happening?” I asked myself in a low voice. All of the sudden, the music stops. Everyone started to protest, “Who is that woman beside you?! Just how are you related to her? Explain!” It’s like I dug a grave for myself. I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe, every gasp feeling like it's caught in my throat. My legs feel weak and wobbly, like they might give out on me at any moment. A cold sweat breaks out across my f
Milady Chapter 41: The Moon is Beautiful, isn't it?
Aviana Quincy's POVTwo years ago, I found myself a man that I never knew I would fall in love with. And little did I know that the man I treasured, loved, and respected, had somebody else. I was the other woman, without even knowing. "I'm going to get married."But albeit being the other woman, I continued to stay with him, being wrapped around his fingers. That very man I stayed loyal to, was the very man that said the following words, "This woman is nothing but a mere stranger!" My heart was broken into pieces. I know I should be putting myself first. But I was putting myself first. Because all I ever wanted was to be with you. That is, until you pushed me away without hesitation. As I yell, "Let's not keep our relationship hidden anymore!” the people glared at Jake and with a shocked expression. "What..?" Jake asked, flabbergasted by my words. The reporters found this scenario as a catch, and started taking pictures once again. I fell down to my knees, holding unto the other of
Milady Chapter 42: Who could it be?
Aviana Quincy's POVIn the famous bar of the busy streets, at the corner of the thin walls. There I am, gently holding on to a thin glass of champagne. "Life… s*cks," I mumbled to myself as I sigh from hopelessness. My mascara spreads through my face, making my appearance hilarious. My rosy cheeks are all wet from the tears of grief from my eyes. I softly looked at the people at the loud bar. "They look like they are having fun… " I continued, "or are they?" It seems like it was only yesterday since we were whispering words of affirmation to each other. Time went so fast, in a blink of an eye. Now, I can't believe that you are not here.I continued to make myself drunk in misery, and regret. Then stopped when I started to notice that everyone's piercing eyes were on me. It seems like word of what happened at the party had already begun to spread like a virus. I covered myself up with a black comfy jacket, and shades, as I stood up, my walking unsteady and prepared to leave.I was wal

Milady Chapter 52: Adios

As the figure comes out from the shadows, I groan upon realizing that it's no one else other than.. Jake Hayes. I glared at his presence. "It's the w*nch, and a pest!" He exclaimed with laughter. Aviana gradually wakes up from the loud noise Jake's making. The moment she gained realization about her surroundings, she immediately panicked. "Jake?! And… Charlotte?! Why… Why am I here?!" She tried to get away from the rope that was tying her body down to the chair.Jake laughs at our situation. "The both of you are in the Hyena's lair. Oh dear, I never expected that Damien Yves Étienne would be a mafia boss. I wonder what the media would say if I spread this word? That will be the perfect payback, as that is what you guys did too." Jake looked at me with a furious look in his eyes. "Did you guys have fun..?" He asked, with a hint of sarcasm. "Did
Milady Chapter 51: Kidnapping
Charlotte Hayes' POVThe moment Damien accepted the call from the telephone, his expression turned stern—the smile on his face faded. "Is there something wrong?" I asked, reaching out to his other hand with a worried reaction. Damien placed the telephone back where it was, and pulled me closer towards him, looking at me, now wearing a smile. "What's wrong?" I asked. "It's Jake Hayes. The pest finally sent a threat." I was dumbfounded the moment I heard his words. "Let's see how far he's willing to go, shall we?" He scoffs. The next day, Damien and his father were planning some things. As ordered, I had to stay inside my room until further notice for protection. "I wonder what's going to happen now," I was looking outside the window of my room, admiring the view. Then, all of the sudden, a knock was heard outside my room. "Come in," I ordered. It was a maid, holding a silver platter with snacks and a teapot on it. "Greetings milady," she bowed slightly, "Sir Damien wanted me to hand

Luca Giovanni’s POV"Ah. Any updates about the girl?" The moment the boss asked that question, I looked back at him, completely changing my reaction to surprisement. It makes me wanna wonder how she’s been. But one thing is for sure. "She's not fine. But don't worry. She will be okay. " I will make sure she’ll be okay; I vow on it. "So, what's the plan sir?" I asked, looking at him with a stern face. The boss had a smug look on his face, as he answered with a confident look, "The usual treat." He chuckles, "But since I'm kind, let's give them a bit of candy after the main treat." I could never understand what he meant by that, but like the usual, he would always win regardless.After the talk with the boss, I started walking slowly outside his office. Later on, I arrived at the luxurious chambers of Damien’s father, wherein there's a ton of mafia servants surrounding the place, to tell him about the updates of the current situation.

Milady Chapter 49: Collaboration
Charlotte Hayes' POVThe moment I stepped outside the bathroom after wearing a robe, I was greeted by Damien with a grin on his face. "You can take a bath now," I said, as I was about to pass through him with a poker face, when he suddenly grabbed my arm, pulling me closer to him. "Can't I have a kiss before I go take a bath?" I blushed at his words, as I pushed him aside, trying to maintain that poker face. "It's not like you're going to war," I pouted."Who says that I can only receive a kiss if I'm going to war?" He grinned. Obviously, there's no reason for me not to kiss him. But maybe today's one of those mood swings of mine, as I am currently acting hard to get. "I'll give you a kiss after you're done taking a bath," I said, sighing. Damien's eyes brightened as he nodded. I went back to the bedroom to change clothes, while Damien was taking a bath. A while later, once the two of us finally got ready to sleep, Damien pulled me closer for a kiss. The kiss was passionate, sweet an

"Baby, I have something to tell you," I gently whispered against her rosy cheeks. "Pray, tell me." I hesitated for a second, before I finally brought myself to say, "Jake Hayes has gone missing." Charlotte's eyes widened upon hearing my remarks. "What? The paparazzi haven't found him yet? Where has he been hiding?" She asks, as she slowly stops embracing me, her gaze fixed on me. "No. Before I came here, I had a few of my men find him, but there has been no updates since then," I sighed, crossing my arms, showing an annoyed reaction. "Does he know nothing, except to hide?" I added, rolling my eyes.Charlotte sighs as she holds my hand firmly, reassuring me with that loving smile of hers. "Don't worry. He can't stay hidden for long," she says. "That's exactly why I'm worried, baby," I fixed the strand of her silky hair unto her ear, "He coul

Luca Giovanni’s POVAs the sun shines over the city, casting a warm, orange glow over my room, I prepared to go back to my daily duties. But as I turned to continue my work, I couldn't shake the thought of the woman who just left my house. Is she okay? I tried to shake her off my mind, but I couldn’t. So I quickly rushed out of my house, into the busy streets. I scanned the faces of the people around me, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.The sights, smells, sounds, and sensations of the city were overwhelming as I searched for her. The warm air smelled of motor oil and exhaust fumes, and the sounds of the city's hustle and bustle filled my ears. Every face I passed seemed to be a blur as I searched frantically for her. The more I scoured the crowd, the more I became frustrated by my inability to find her. The frustration quickly morphed into anger as I realized how much time I wasted looking at random people, all because I was worried about someone else. I clenched my fists in frustr
Milady Chapter 46: Wholesome
Charlotte Hayes’ POVMother looked at me with a stern look. “I can explain…” But before I could finish my statement, mother grabbed the door knob and opened the door.

He caught me effortlessly, his broad shoulders offering a soft landing. I felt my skin flush, my chest heave with every breath as I struggled to free myself from his grip. But I was unsuccessful, and before I knew it, we were in a full-on embrace.“Did you miss me that much to the point you came rushing, embracing me head on?” he teased, looking at me with a playful grin on his face. I pouted and tried to stay mad at him. Despite my best efforts to remain stoic and composed, a
