Justin was acting mysteriously:- Once you've seen the person, you'll know who she is. Now eat your lunch.- So when can she come back? asked Mia.She was slightly emotional, but also full of questions.- Do I know this person?- I see you're usually quite calm and collected, why are you so anxious now?The old man's tone was serious.- Be patient, said Justin, rising to his feet. Eat a little more.Mia shook her head, she was too anxious. The fact that he was telling her all this today meant he was ready to tell her everything she wanted to know.Now all she had to do was wait patiently for his sister to arrive, and maybe the fog and confusion surrounding her would lift.Compared to the calm of the courtyard, the garden was bustling with activity.Since Mia wanted to stay, Raphaël didn't leave either. He hadn't brought many people with him, only his assistant Cyril. Compared to the many people surrounding Joseph, he seemed to be weaker.The stream was trickling, the surface of the wa
A warmth spreads from the back of her body as a voice whispers in her ear.- Are you afraid?An unfamiliar scent lingers close to her, making her shiver, but she doesn't dare make a sound.Mia Lambert feels the man stop for a moment before speaking again.- It's not too late to regret.She clasps her hands nervously and shakes her head, saying:- No, I don't regret...She is very young, but...This night is long and painful...Finally, in the early morning, the man gets up to go to the bathroom. Mia, tired, gets up, gets dressed and leaves the room.Downstairs in the hotel stands the middle-aged woman who offered her the deal. Seeing Mia come out, she gives her a black bag.- This is your payment.With little hesitation, Mia grabs the bag immediately. Then, with the money in hand, she quickly runs out. Trying to forget the pain in her private parts, she just wants to get to the hospital as soon as possible.It is still dark. The corridor is silent. In front of the operating room, two
Once changed, Mia exits the fitting room and looks back at the fitting room on the left, whose door is securely closed.- It looks good on you.The saleswoman has good taste. In fact, by looking at a customer, she can choose the dress that suits her. Mia is wearing a long light blue dress that brings out the clarity of her skin. The lacing around the waist highlights her slim waist. She is a little too thin, but has a delicate face.Seeing that the dress fits her well, George goes to pay. At that moment, he realizes that this dress costs more than three thousand euros. But thinking that she is going to meet the Cosey family, he grits his teeth and pays it anyway. He says coldly:- Let's go.Mia already knew his hardness, but this coldness still tightens her heart.She follows him into the car, her head down.The car stops shortly in front of the gate of the Lambert family villa.The driver opens the door to George. He bends down to get out of the car, followed by Mia.Standing in fron
Mia seems to have guessed why Chloe was sighing. She doesn't explain, but smiles at her.Her marriage to Joseph is nothing more than an exchange. She is not allowed to ask questions about his private life.In his absence, Mia finally feels a little more comfortable.Upon entering the room, Mia can clearly see the entire room, which is decorated in a unique black and white style. It is simple but chic, luxurious but not kitschy.- This is Mr. Cosey's room, says Chloe with a smile.Since they are married, they are husband and wife. Naturally, they have to live together.Mia opened her mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say. So she nods her head in agreement.It is her first night in this unknown place. Sitting on the bed, she scans web pages for a job. A job would allow her to settle down, take care of her mother and give a future to the baby in her belly.Suddenly, she finds something.Mia is surprised to see a job offer for a translator. It's not surprising to find translator jo
- What's going on? asks Jeanne, who seems to have suddenly understood something, "Wasn't this money paid by the person who caused the accident?"She was injured in the car accident, and the funeral of her son cost a lot of money. Before returning home, her daughter gave her a sum of money, saying that it was the rest of the compensation paid by the author of the accident.Mia doesn't know how to say it. It's too hard to talk about it.Her silence is already an acquiescence. How could she, a girl, find all this money? Jeanne is heartbroken. She still can't believe it.- You... You sold yourself?She suddenly grabs Mia's wrist.- You can't have this baby. Come with me to the hospital now!- Why?Mia tries to break free of this grip.- If you give birth to this child, your life will be ruined!Mia can't have this baby. She is already married. If anyone finds out, her reputation will be ruined.- Mom, please let me keep this baby, Mia begged, crying.Despite all her pleas, Jeanne does not
- How do you want me to answer?She struggles to find the words to respond to Leila.Is it supposed to say:- I'm sorry, shouldn't I have separated you because of my engagement with Joseph?It would be hypocritical.Besides, what could she do with this marriage decided by the two mothers?Joseph stares at her with narrowed eyes. He advances, without hurrying, which creates a tension that makes Mia retreat.- I didn't provoke you, did I? Mia asks.Leila approaches him and takes him by the arm.- Joseph, don't be angry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. She just married you. I shouldn't have come. Go rest. I am going to go back to my house.- You shouldn't be leaving here.Joseph takes her by the wrist and goes upstairs.Leila bursts with joy in her heart. Although Joseph assured her that he would be in a relationship with her, he never had any desire for her.Today, she is overwhelmed with joy by Joseph's reaction.After all, it wasn't her that night. The only way for her to w
Clearly the interview went well, Mia frowns, thinking they must have found someone more qualified.By following this thought, it is not so hard for Mia to accept this result anymore.In the evening, as soon as Joseph returns, he locks himself in his room, it seems that it is related to work.For her part, Mia inquires about Joseph's favorite dishes from Chloe and prepares them herself.Chloe smiles and says:- This is what is expected of a wife.Mia lowers her head and smiles, if it wasn't because she has business to beg Joseph, she won't try to flatter him.Chloe sighs and then says:- Mrs. Cosey died a long time ago and Master Cosey married another woman. Since then, Mr. Joseph rarely returns. He looks cold, but actually very emotional.Mia does not speak, she continues to listen seriously.- Miss Fadel saved Mr. Joseph's life when they were young, and she has been following him ever since. Previously, Joseph disliked her, but after he returned from a mission, his attitude toward he
Mia freezes, not expecting Serge to kiss her.As soon as she becomes aware of what has happened, she wants to free herself from his arms.From Joseph's perspective, it looks like Mia is simpering.He frowns.Leila says on purpose:- Oh dear, she already has a boyfriend.Joseph feels upset, but he doesn't know why.He presses the accelerator hard and goes quickly.Leila purses her lips and asks:- You are angry ?Joseph laughs coldly.- Why should I be?Since she is already pregnant, it is sure that she has a boyfriend!But even though he already knew it, he becomes inexplicably unhappy when he sees this scene with their own eyes!The car stops in front of Leila's apartment, she does not get out right away, but looks at Joseph.- Aren't you coming up for a coffee?It seems that she fears that he will refuse and she adds:- I prepared desserts that you like...

- You are...- Mr Justin, we're here to learn how taffeta is made.Raphaël spoke first, explaining the purpose of their visit.Justin looked at the people standing at the entrance. He squinted his eyes, one could see his wrinkles. His eyes were deep, he entered the house.- Let's go in.The living room of the wooden house was small, it couldn't accommodate all the people. The security guards didn't enter as they stood outside.Even then, the house was crowded after they entered.The design of the house was simple, it was an antique style, there were eight chairs in the living room. A few drawings hung on the wall on both sides. They didn't match each other and looked messy. A table was placed in the middle. Justin sat down by it.He picked up a cigarette and lit it,- Who wants to learn from me?Mia held Remy's hand and stepped forward, saying sincerely:- I want to learn from you how to make taffeta. If you are willing to do so, be the master of my company. The pay is up to you.He s
- Why do you think Sylvie came with me? Because we are in love and I brought her here. I think today, the sun is shining and the weather is glorious, it is indeed a good day, so I choose to tell you that Sylvie and I are in love today, said Norbert with a lot of seriousness and energy.Mia didn't say anything. As the saying goes, everything can be ruined, except marriage. So she just told Norbert:- Since you've decided, forget what happened before and treat Sylvie well.Sylvie immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her head.- Mia, I... didn't deliberately hide this from you...- Okay, it's getting late, let's eat first.She would not blame Sylvie; after all, she was an adult and should have known what she was doing. The only thing that concerned her was that Norbert might hurt her.As they had not known each other for long, Norbert was so fickle that Sylvie could get hurt by him.Sylvie tapped Norbert's hand and went to Mia, saying,- Mia.Mia put her arms around Sylvie's shoulder
Norbert was tense, because Sylvie was Mia's friend. How would he explain this?- Stop crying, please.Norbert approached her to comfort her, but as soon as his hand touched Sylvie's shoulder, she pushed him away and cried out,- Get away from me! I don't want to see you anymore!She couldn't help shivering as she recalled what had happened the night before.Norbert's face changed, but he did not show his displeasure. After all, as a man, he had not suffered any loss in this matter.Not to mention that it was not the first time he had made love with a woman, but for Sylvie, it was the first time she had slept with a man.In a delirious state, she had lost the most valuable thing as a woman. So, he did not get angry even when she raised her voice.- Mia is outside and just knocked on the door.Norbert looked at her intently. He hoped she could calm down and resolve the most urgent problem first.Sylvie's tears suddenly stopped. She raised her reddened eyes.- So?Oh, no. It was so shame
In hindsight, Sylvie realized that Norbert was deliberately making Mia drink, but as to why he was forcing her to do so, she didn't understand.- It's not proper for you to do that.Sylvie glanced at Norbert.- As a man, how can you deliberately make a woman drink? It's a terrible thing. Fortunately, Mia is intelligent because she can see through your trick in the blink of an eye.Norbert was now embarrassed. Wasn't he just helping his friend?This woman daringly accused him.He pulled the chair and sat next to Sylvie, saying:- What do you know? Huh, you dare to accuse me?He deliberately sat close to her, and when he spoke, the alcoholic breath overwhelmed her. She frowned.- Get out!- Where are you going? It's just a small place.Norbert approached her and his mouth was even closer to Sylvie's face.Lucas shook his head. It was obvious that Norbert was flirting with her. He didn't want to be the fifth wheel, so he discreetly got up and left the room.Seeing the others leaving, Syl
Norbert and Sylvie were sitting at the window seat. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.Norbert looked exhausted. When he saw them come in, he lunged at them without caring about his image.- You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for half a day.Lucas pushed him away with disgust.- Are you lost? What took you so long?Norbert had said he had been gone for a long time and that he should have arrived early.While talking, Lucas glanced at Sylvie walking towards Mia. Why did Norbert bring her here too? What has this guy done to her?Norbert was upset, he didn't notice Lucas's strange look. When he came, he had been caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when he wanted to get married, otherwise she wouldn't have let him out.He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year, and he managed to get out only after saying that.So he was delayed.The main problem was that he didn't even hav
Mia was about to explain the situation when the saleswoman interrupted:- Odile, don't listen to her. She's the one who brought these people here and who's putting this place in chaos. You'd better find someone and stop them all.Mia frowned.Joseph brought Julie over to Mia:- Go wait for me in the car.He was going to handle these things. As much as he wanted to train his son in courage, he didn't want his daughter exposed to this. Girls have to be protected in this case.Mia carried her daughter in her arms. She was about to leave when Odile, the saleswoman's cousin, stopped her:- We're embarrassed about the case because of you. How will things work out if you leave?Joseph raised his head, giving her a murderous look.- Talk with me, he said indifferently.His deep voice and indifference dominated, and when Odile met Joseph's eyes, she felt shy. He looked even more imposing than Raphaël. At the sight of his handsome face, she felt dizzy.He gave an impression of mysterious oppres
Joseph felt like the saddest man in the world. He hugged his wife, but he couldn't make love to her.Her hair brushed his face and her scent of shampoo wafted through the air, he kissed the back of her neck.Half of Mia's face was buried in the pillow. Looking at her sleeping son and daughter, she touched their cheeks.At the thought of the scene from her first time with Joseph. She wasn't feeling well, but morose.- Joseph, how many women have you slept with?She didn't know why, but thinking he'd made love to other women made her feel sad.This was the first man in her life.Although she tried not to think about it, it was still difficult.It's true that she's sentimental.She's always had a special affection for this man.This question made Joseph stop kissing her.- Why are you asking all of a sudden? he said, his voice even a little hoarse.Mia buried her face deeper into the pillow:- Nothing, I'd just like to know. Well. I'm sleepy. Let's sleep first.However, Joseph didn't fee
- I never pursued a woman. Anyway, do you still need to?Joseph already had a wife and children.Pursue a woman?Who?Lucas opened his eyes wide. - Are you...But Lucas didn't think Joseph was that kind of playboy. He'd been anxious when Mia had gotten lost, he must have loved her a lot.Joseph frowned, remembering Mia's piercing eyesight. He really wanted to please her.Lucas glanced at him and asked cautiously:- Doesn't Mia want to be with you?Joseph returned a cold look.Even if Mia didn't want to be with him, Joseph couldn't tell him, could he?Lucas spoke. - You should ask Norbert how to please a woman.Ding!Just then, the elevator returned to its original position. The elevator door opened.In the lobby, Mia didn't go into the VIP room, she stayed there and talked with Raphaël. Joseph stayed away from them, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. His face changed when he saw them talking.He walked forward. Lucas slowed his pace and kept his distance.Joseph looked u
