Monica looked between both the brothers as they shared a glare with each other. Julien's, hands trailing up and down her back leaving a dreadful shiver as he turns to her and takes her to their assigned table. Viscont scoffs as a short girl with two glasses of wine approaches him and makes their way to Julien's table.

Julien nods to someone behind her as Monica turns to look who was there. A old man dressed in suit smiles at him. Looking like a businessman or his business partner. Her focus turned to the girl dancing on the floor with three other mens. She have been in parties or reunions but not to a dinner where people acknowledges each other.

"It took two years to build this mansion," Julien drawls, but he is still grinning to the old man.

"Did this mansion get raided?" Monica asks.

Julien looks up at her tapping the table. He leans in and fills her empty wine glass. Monica sensing some sensitive story around here. He shakes his head "you don't have to know about that." He says qu

    It was half past noon when Monica and Julien had their lunch. It was the first ever lunch Monica made for Julien. Julien kept receiving calls from his office as Monica took turns to refill his wine glass the more he talked the more he felt thirsty for wine or even water. Monica was out of the lunch as she remembered the emotional words she shared with Janice at her office and the offer she declined was rude of her.Julien sank down in the chair in front of Monica. "What's all about the spacing out?" Julien asked, finally getting off his phone calls. Monica jerked her head up to look in the direction of the door. Her fingers flicked each and every time she felt nervous. Julien was not angry but he was doubtful of her getting back late from outside."It's nothing. I have already made up my mind about joining a new job. That is just down the lane. It's a Spanish hotel where one of my friends works so I thought maybe I can try there." Monica didn't feel any presence of his anger or anythi

    Julien didn't find it boring when she told him all the facts that was called by Janice. He wasn't even upset about anything. He truly wanted to give her the best life a man can give. He simply got up from his place and hugged her from the back. It was the first time she felt so satisfied and soothing his arms tightened around her. Tears don't stop falling. He shifts and cups her cheeks and kisses her cheeks. Monica blushes as they both break into a laughter after so many months they are laughing sharing a bond with each other. After a few minutes there was finally some silence. Monica being in her arms and Julien being comfortable with all the weight she put on him. The room was quite and the lights already began to dim. Julien takes the initiative to break the silence. "Monica, I know this is something you should be hearing from my mother but it's me who will tell you something important and it's all for your sake. I can't love you like other mens out there but I can gibe you every

    "Welcome Mrs. Tedd. It's a pleasure to have you here and look at how pretty you look today." Zed barely knew her from the first day when he introduced himself as the chauffeur at the hotel. The hotel was ranked into second place for its neatness and addressed to many of the actors and singers to spend their nights here. They also have huge claims on demand. It's the best she could find. Monica knows how to clean every corner though she hasn't done it while she was home because all the work are done by the maids. She didn't exercise for a while. "Oh it's nothing." Monica says as she sits on the chair."Well, I have a question for you. Who was the guy who dropped you off? Boyfriend? Or maybe oh my god a hooker?" Genis was so cute at first. She was the first one to approach her with a lemon tea and an invitation to welcome her to the hotel. She always had this cute, small hamster-like face. She is a chubby cute little girl. Her hair is also a honey-like colour with different curls. "It'

    Julien was standing like he was struck with a shooting star. Suddenly, he remembered that he had a business to take care of in New York. "Perhaps." A step bought Julien closer to Monica. Her pulse sped up. "What?" Monica was now stumbling over her words."No no that can't be." "What can't be Julien, tell me you are just going to tease me.""Are you really that kind of child?" His sarcasm was enough for Monica to slap him in the face. She kept her hand close to her. The moment she loses her temper he is gone."What?" Monica screamed the moment Julien wrapped his fingers around her wrist and drew her close to him. Monica was too distracted by his sweet scent. His head dropped and soon his lips found her lips. It was just a soft kiss for Julien but for Monica it was her first kiss. All the things they did till now was all her firsts. In place of being shy she was a statue there. Julien felt the hot sensation in the air and he snapped out of her touch and stepped out of her place. His l

    "Catalina, we need to get back, you know you need to rest.""Julien, it's the first time in four years I've had whiskey. Why are you making me feel like you don't want me to have myself act like a brat in front of you." Julien was quite for a while. He got up and sipped his drink and kissed her forehead. "You are not a brat anymore. You are my universe Catalina." The words were like a ball of fire in his throat but somehow it made him so slow to respond to her. Catalina sobbed and hugged him tightly."Julien, it was all my fault that you ended up with a big scandal up on you. And your father didn't like me at all. You had your mom's support and not your father's. I understand that I am not the best choice you could have but it's better than everyone else's. Isn't it?" Catalina knew how to seduce Julien out of thousands of people. She was fearless and hopeless. She caused him so much trouble yet she wanted more trouble to bring and not only did she make an open confession but also a cr

    The next morning Julien found that Monica wasn't in the house. He asked all the maids in the house they didn't see her. Her room was empty and some of her papers were all over the table. Some of her clothes were still there but still the room was empty. He was sweating. He barely got sleep as Monica left his room without any exchange of replies. Julien tried to call her but her phone was switched off. He knew that he shitted himself by saying all the truth to her. He was drunk she was crying in front of him but he couldn't do a damn thing to ease the pain he caused to her and himself.Next Julien thought that's he might end up leaving this city so he got in front of the airport and there was the beautiful women standing with her luggage. Julien's eyes were on Monica and it was burning a hole from his intense gaze, but he catches her moves everytime she goes anywhere. He was angry with her his jaw tightens and he takes a sit distant from Monica's he keeps his eyes on Monica without bli

    After some hour Ava sent a car for Monica to pick her from the hotel. She really was heartbroken from all the things he said to her. She was fragile and craving for the long talk from Ava. She can only rely on her and her understanding. They drove around until she reached to Ava's house. She felt no problem getting into her house. The soon she rang the bell Ava rushed out and hugged her so long that it was suffocating for her to even breathe. "Oh my god look at you, you are looking so pale Monica came inside. I even ordered chicken wings and whiskey so you can have as many glasses as you want but first you need to take a hot shower and relax for a bit. Until I get done with the dishes." Ava says, her voice high and frightened even to her own ears. She got into Ava's room and got her change. Her hair wet and her neck covered with the small towel. Ava already started to set the wine glasses and the plates for both of them. They both sat down and looked at eachother. "The thing is I had

    His words were no help for healing my broken heart. It made a whole our of it the second he stopped talking. Those were lies in front of her. He was too selfish to share love with her. Catalina is someone who would act tough without actually being tough. They were together for so many years so now won't be a problem for him to get back to her. Will it be? "It will be better if we talk this out at home. Get some rest." He says quietly. Monica was long gone from his office. She took a cab and headed straight to Julien's penthouse. She knew he was going to work overtime. It was already evening, she was sitting on the couch being all nervous. Her hands were sweating and she was so stressed to face him. She decided to call him instead of texting because texting him will only make her feel like she was so scared to talk to him. When she dialled his number, the phone rang for a second before he answered. "Hey? Oh my god. Sorry sir, he is a bit drunk." The call was cut off and certainly it w

  • My Dismissive Fake-Love Marriage   Epilogue

    As they both share a passionate time.“Princesse, please.” It’s a beg, Monica will admit, but it’s growled with deep hunger. She flips her hair over one shoulder, putting her weight onto one arm to take Jackson in hand. Standing him upright, she aligns herself with him. “I loveyou, husband,” she says sweetly. “I love you, wiiiiife.” Jackson means to return the sweet words, knowing it will get her off as much as it does him, but Monica sinks her bliss down onto him, taking all thought and word formation skills from his brain. Engulfing all of Jackson in her warmth and wetness, she begins to move, sliding up and down his shaft at an unhurried pace. Jackson murmurs to her in French as he pinchens and plucks her nipples, reaching between them to circle her clit with his thumb, and lay a sharp smack to the flesh of her hip. Tobias once told Monica that a man has three women—his wife, his mistress, and his whore. He was the lucky bastard who has found all three in onewoman. Monica was eve

    The reception was full of laughter, dancing, and magic. It must be magic because nothing else could bring that big of a smile to his bright bride’s face. Monica was on the dance floor with her bridesmaids. They were swaying andmoving, lifting their hands in the air as they sing along with the music. “She’s beautiful,” Jamaica grunts from beside him. “Congratulations.” Jackson looks over at him, taking a slow sip of his scotch. “Watch it,” Jackson teases. They have made peace, with each other and their pasts, not letting them affect their precious futures. In fact, Jamiaca was doing much better now, working an apprenticeship in home construction with plans to become a project manager one day. He grins back. “What can you tell me about her?” Jackson follows his line of sight and chuckles and he sees Claire from the coffee shop that Monica prefers. Monica insisted that they fly Claire to France for the wedding. “Good luck. Just don’t fuck it up, or that one will eat you alive.” “That s

    His expression was like he had too much on his head already. He grew beards and had an manly scent. Not that she was still attracted to him. But his expression told her that he was not happy with the life he was living. The knowledge of breaking the news of getting married with Jackson had filled Julien with false hope and accusations that she can always come back to him if she wanted to. She can still have a half portion of his heart and stay there for his and hers little boy's sake. “How do I look?” Monica asks her Mom, glancing down at her beautiful dress. “Gorgeous,” she says, on the verge of tears again. “Are you sure you are not going to be cold, though?” Hopefully, she holds up the lacy shawl she found online for her. Once upon a time, she would have heard that as a way to say she doesn’t like her dress or as a critique of the timing of the wedding, or even a question about whether she should be getting married in the first place. Now, Monica takes it for what it is. “I’m no

    “I already gave some to Simon. You got yourself a good one here.” Monica's mother's gives Jackson a smile of approval as she fans herself playfully. “I think I’m the fortunate one to have captured Monica's heart,” hereplies, looking deeply into her eyes. Monica thinks Mom flat-out swoons at his poetic words, French accent, andgrumbly voice. She was pretty sure she hears her whisper to Jacqueline, “I think we are going to be grandmas soon if he keeps saying things like that.” “Mom!” Monica exclaims aim, flushing brightly in an instant. “Oh, I’m only teasing,” she says. She turns to Jacqueline and Nora. “Has she told you how she struck out from our little town, with nothing but piss and vinegar in her blood and a dream in her heart? I was so worried, but this one . . . you can’t tell her a thing!” Monica's mother goes on to tell Nora and Jacqueline how she had worried about her being in the big city, had waited for her to come home with her tail between her slender legs, and how proud

    Most of the models are local to NYC, but she had lamented that her Amour mourning dress was meant for Jeanette and that she was sad she would never get the chance to walk it. So Jackson secretly surprised her by flying Jeanette in to do it. She was not wishing the show away, but she truly can’t wait to see Jeanette strut in that gown. No one can do it justice the way she can. Monica swears, she blinks and the time flies past until she was standing backstage with Jeanette in the voluminous black gown. “Remember, slow. Eyes forward.” Monica demonstrated the defiant gaze she wants on Jeanette to have, tackling the future with strength after the loss of love. “Pose, small smile of hope. Then back like a queen.” “Slow. Strong. Hope. Queen,” she repeats clearly. Her English has gotten much better. Monica's French was improving daily, too, from listening to Jackson. “Tue cette piste, fille,” Monica tells her, snapping her fingers. Jeanette looks at her in surprise. “Oui, I will kill the run

    Molly pushes Monica's shoulder. “You would bust ass to get as much done as possible, and then leave to ‘work at home’ or ‘visit the park for inspiration’ and come back the next day with barely anything else done since you left.And you would have a dreamy smile on your face.” Molly makes a vacant-eyed, open-mouthed smiling expression that Jackson thinks is supposed to be what Monica looked like. Jackson did that to her, he thinks cockily. Katarina nods, agreeing. “We thought you had found a French Romeo, and then we saw Jackson wearing the same necklace you had started wearing. It didn’t take much to put one and one together.” Beatrice adds quietly, “We were a bit worried for you, as he has quite the reputation. And it didn’t seem to be helping you in the competition. We weren’t concerned about that until . . .” She trails off, and he knows that his aunt turned that particular screw to get Beatrice to do her bidding. “Okay, so no hard feelings?” Monica asks them all. Molly leans over

    “I should have told you,” she whispers back. Monica pushes at him, nearly shoving him out of his chair. “Get up and hug her, or I’m going to have to do it, and I’m not getting snot on her jacket. It’s too fabulous for that.” Jackson gets up to come around the table, and for the first time in he doens't know how long, he enfolds his aunt in a hug. Jackson knows it’s been long enough that he have forgotten how thin she truly is. And he doens't think he have hugged her when he have been taller than she is, even in her power heels. How long ago must it have been since they embraced? It must have beenwhen he was truly a child, before he was a teen growing inches seemingly overnight. “I’m sorry,” she murmurs into his chest. “Me too.” They sit back down, and he looks to Monica, silently asking what she thinks about his aunt’s request for a fashion showplace. They have a conversation consisting solely of raised and lowered eyebrows, pursed lips, and smiles. Finally, Monica turns back to J

    She has let that go and is looking toward the future. With Jacqueline, Monica was only concern is him and his little feelings. He squeezes her hand tightly so she knows how much he appreciates her. “Yes, well . . . I guess . . . when I found out that you were gallivanting all over Paris together, I will admit that my first thought was that you’d seduced Jackson to improve your chances in the competition.” Monica points to her own ample chest. “Not a gold digger, just so that’s clear.” Jacqueline nods, accepting that fact now. “At the time, though, it made sense. It wasn’t the first time.” She looks to him for confirmation, and Jackson grunts in agreement. “There was that idea in my mind. But also, if the reverse were true, that Jackson had in fact pursued you” —she flicks her eyes to Monica this time— “I felt like it would be doing you a disservice. I didn’t want you to be distracted by him and miss out on your opportunity, because I know what something like this could mean to a youn

    They sit in folding plastic chairs at Jackson's folding plastic table after he closes his laptop. In the awkward silence, Monica can hear the loud buzz of a drill every few seconds as the crew hangs new drywall. “What are you up to, Jacqueline?” Monica was not doing niceties or waiting for her to launch into a practised speech. She wants to throw her off, make sure she knows that they were not under her thumb and have no problem calling out her game play. She has come all the way here to talk about something, after all, so may as well not delay. She presses her lips together in response but gives in. “The reactions to the fashion shows have been quite exciting. Perhaps you have heard?” Monica doesn't look at him, but Jackson stays quiet, and something Jacqueline sees in his expression must give her pause because her nostrils flare. “Or maybe not. But the media buzz has been quite positive. For House Corbin and the designers themselves. Seeing as two of the designers are from America,
