Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 360 Miranda
Four years have passed since everything changed.The prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize ceremony was being held in Rome. This year’s award had taken everyone by surprise—a complete unknown had won, a young architect who had just turned thirty. The fact that she was American only heightened the intrigue.The last time a thirty-year-old American won this award was Logan Morgan. But his reputation had been shattered when it was discovered that his award-winning design wasn’t his own but stolen from another architect. The incident became one of the biggest scandals in architectural history, and the committee had not only stripped him of the prize but also declared that year’s award void. The scandal rocked the architecture world to its core, stirring debates about ethics and trust in the industry.In the aftermath, a wave of xenophobia swept through some circles, with some extremists arguing that Americans shouldn’t be allowed to compete for the Pritzker ever again. While this idea w

The host subtly lowered the microphone and leaned closer to Miranda, his voice a quiet whisper. “Ms. Carter, just stay calm. I’ll guide you through this.”Miranda looked slightly surprised but managed to mask it with a polite smile. “Thank you,” she replied, her tone warm.“Go ahead, take that trophy that’s rightfully yours.”Miranda gently released his hand and walked slowly to the microphone stand.Bright spotlights bathed her in light, and the constant flash of cameras created a dazzling blur. From her perspective, all she could see was a sea of white—she couldn’t make out faces or the number of attendees.The trophy was placed on a pedestal nearby, waiting for her to lift it. But first, she had to face the scrutiny of the audience.“Good evening, everyone. I’m Miranda Carter.”Her voice was melodious, clear, and carried a calm confidence.At this, the male reporters in the audience snapped their cameras into focus on her, some even momentarily forgetting their duties as they caugh

Perfection has never been her; it has always been her designs. After all, who among us can claim to be flawless?Miranda's skin was as radiant as silk, her red lips curving into a sensual smile. “So, shall we proceed with the award ceremony now?”The host, still smiling, nodded. “Of course, Ms. Carter. But before we hand over the trophy, the judges and members of the press have some questions for you. You'll need to provide convincing answers, and if you succeed, the award will undoubtedly be yours.”Miranda accepted the challenge with grace. “I'm ready.”The ceremony continued...The award presentation lasted a staggering seven hours.Starting at eight in the evening, it dragged on until well past three in the morning. Many attendees were fighting off sleep, some even openly pleading for the event to end. However, a few stubborn individuals, determined to trip Miranda up, kept the questions coming.Despite this, Miranda showed no signs of impatience. Instead, she remained poised and
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 363 No Need for Thanks
“Hey, Miranda, remember our deal? No saying ‘thank you’ to me,” Jackson said with a playful smirk.Miranda laughed softly, covering her mouth. “Sorry, I forgot again.”Jackson rolled his eyes in mock annoyance. “You forget every time, and I always have to remind you.”“My bad,” Miranda replied with a grin.“Hmph.”As they exited the conference hall, Miranda couldn’t shake her worry about Amy’s ability to manage things on her own. Her uncle Bert had never been to the Europe before, and he didn’t speak Italian. If he got lost, it could be a major problem. Reluctantly, she asked Jackson to drive her to airport so she could personally meet her uncle and ensure his safe arrival.This was her second visit to the airport ; the first had been just a few days ago when she was rushing to attend an awards ceremony. She hadn’t had time to take in her surroundings, and it had taken her ages to find Amy at the international arrivals gate.Amy had just stepped out of a convenience store, holding two

“Miranda, there are still good people in this world. As soon as I arrived, two young men saw I was lost and immediately offered to help me find my way. I’m really grateful to them,” Bert said with a relieved smile.Miranda gently reminded him, “Uncle Bert, I go by Miranda now.”“Oh, right, Miranda. I’ll remember that,” Bert said, tapping his forehead. “Getting old, my memory isn’t what it used to be.”Bert, though just fifty years old, looked much older, the wear and tear of life showing clearly in his features. Years of hardship had taken their toll on him, making him appear far older than his years. He had spent over twenty years abroad, searching for the man who had wronged his sister, and upon returning, had devoted himself to caring for William. His entire life had been a series of burdens, leaving little room for anything else.Miranda felt a pang of sadness and linked arms with him. “You’re not old at all, Uncle Bert. Don’t say that.”Bert chuckled heartily. “You’ve grown so mu

Jackson stood with his arms crossed, squinting slightly as he surveyed his surroundings. “So, you’re in Rome too?”A man in a sharp suit replied, “I just ran into madam’s uncle. He mentioned coming here to meet a friend. Was it you who brought him here, Jackson?”Jackson smirked, his tone lazy, almost indifferent. “What if it was me? What if it wasn’t? Why are you stopping me from leaving? This is Rome, not back home. I could easily have you arrested for unlawful detention.”From inside a nearby café, a man in a suit and sunglasses called out softly, “Dylan.”“Yes, sir?” Dylan responded promptly.“Invite Jackson in for a cup of coffee.”Dylan hesitated. “Sir, Jackson doesn’t seem too interested in talking. He’s being quite hostile.”The man sighed. “That’s just how he is. It’s not about you. Go ahead, tell him it’s me inviting him.”“Yes, sir.” Dylan walked back to Jackson’s side.A dozen bodyguards surrounded Jackson, making any attempt to flee futile. But Jackson remained unbothered

"Borrow money?"Jackson’s voice was muffled, and there was a noticeable whooshing sound in the background. “Yeah, it's just a nuisance. I'm playing along with them for now. You should head back.”Emily's suspicion was piqued by Jackson’s vague tone. “Jackson, are you in some kind of trouble?”“No way. Who am I? Jackson, the king of the road! No one would dare give me trouble. Anyway, Emily, be a good girl and take Bert home to rest. I’ll be back a bit later. That's it, I’m hanging up.”Beep… Beep… Beep…Jackson had indeed hung up the phone.Bert asked, “Is something wrong? Is Jackson in trouble?”“He said he ran into some old friends,” Emily echoed, her concern mirroring Bert's. However, she knew her best course of action was to avoid adding to Jackson's burdens. “Let’s go. Jackson knows what he’s doing.”With Jackson absent, it fell to Amy to drive them back.This was Emily’s second experience with Amy behind the wheel, and it was every bit as nerve-wracking as the first. The ride wa
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 367 A Tangled Situation
Miranda offered her sincere apology, "I'm truly sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone. Please tell me the amount you think is fair, and I'll compensate each of you.""Wait a minute," the police officer, who had just finished managing the traffic, walked over. His eyes lingered on Miranda for a few seconds before he began speaking formally, "The compensation amount must be determined by the police. Each of you will need to submit an itemized list of your losses along with the necessary documents. The police will review them, and once approved, the responsible party will be instructed to deposit the funds into the police account. We will then distribute the compensation accordingly."However, this method did not sit well with many of those involved."I'm leaving Rome soon and don't have time to go to the police station to submit these so-called documents. Besides, everyone knows how slow European police can be. I don't want to stay in Rome for several months over a few thousand eur
