--------- This book is a sequel to "Marrying a Disabled CEO in my Sister's Place", but both stories can be read separately --------- "My ex-fiancé cheated on me with my friend. Having his hot billionaire brother as my revenge partner seemed like a perfect plan, but... Maybe it went too far when I ended up in his bed.” Millicent Bianchi has always been known for being a good girl and a kind person. Revenge has never been part of her vocabulary. However, when she discovers that her fiancé had an affair with her friend, Millie decides that's going to change. This man's schemes are threatening her family and, for that, she's going to make him suffer. And, for that, she needs the most unexpected partner possible: Isaac Carnby, her ex-fiancé's mysterious and rude half-brother. This meeting of two revenges should be nothing more than a deal. But... "Tell me, Millicent." he murmured in her ear, until she was no longer able to contain her moan "Tell me you've never felt with him the way you feel with me."

The GPS says we’re almost there.” “Thanks, Josiah.” Millicent sighed, watching the city lights pass through the car window “But, you really didn't need to offer to drive me here. Another driver or even a member of Sage’s team could…”“Stop it right there, young lady. I know I'm old, but I'm still capable of putting in a few miles. I’ve done this my whole life, after all.” Thea's husband snorted, as if his pride was hurt “It's great to be retired and be able to just do nothing all day, especially now that Joshua has finally decided to give me some grandchildren. But, oddly enough, I still miss working. Especially when Thea and your parents make me go to those appointments where a butcher keeps breaking my bones…”“You know physical therapy is good for your arthritis.” Millie laughed “Also, you can drive as much as you want, as long as it doesn't harm your health. You just don't have to do this for our family, as if it were your obligation. I would really be fine coming
It was still impressive to Millicent that she had wasted so much of her life worrying about what other people were thinking about her. Now that she had simply accepted most of her co-workers thought only the worst about her, everything seemed easier and more predictable. Still cumbersome, no doubt, but much easier.“Look at her, thinking she rules over all of us, just because Austin’s brother is here today.” one of the secretaries grunted, probably not even imagining that Millicent could hear her from where she was in the break room “So, What does it matter if this man has money? It's not like he owns the company! I've heard people on the team comment that his frames have caused even a gentleman like Austin to lose his temper lately. I hate knowing we're all in the hands of arrogant idiots like them and that woman, Pauline or something. She thinks that, just because she has a few Oscars at home, she can walk around like she owns everything and everyone.”“Well, it seems like she’s been
“I think this sums up the changes that Ms. Poulin has asked to be made to the scripts approved so far.” Millicent said to the team, taking the slides she had prepared for that meeting off the projector “I ask you all have the utmost perfectionism when making these corrections. Remember, it wasn't easy to convince Mrs. Poulin to give us a vote of confidence. We need to prove to her that we are capable of meeting her expectations if we really want to receive her confirmation to begin pre-productions…”“Thanks, Miss. Bianchi.” Austin cut her off, clearly irritated after being forced to spend so much time just listening to her talk “As the leader of this project, I will take over from now on. After all, I'm sure that if Mrs. Poulin has finally decided to be a little less merciless towards us, it's because the requests I made to her have taken effect. So you can be sure that I will be able to do it again if nec
“Millicent!” Florence was the first to gasp, holding Austin's shoulders as if afraid of what his reaction would be to Millie's words “Did you even hear yourself? What do you think your parents would think if they heard you saying something like that?!”“You will regret standing by Isaac just to get to my son, Millicent.” Evan growled “He’s going to use you and abandon you the first chance he gets…”“The idiot you treat like your only son has done much worse.” Millie replied “Why not give the other one a chance? Besides, if you guys hate Isaac that much, then just seems like another reason to trust him.”“You… You fucking bitch…!” Austin shouted, breaking free of Florence's hands with a violence that wasn't
“What do you want?” she growled, not at all friendly, as the Carnbys surrounded her, cutting off any path she had to get out of there.“Please, Millie, don’t be so harsh with us.” Florence asked, approaching cautiously as if she were a wild animal “We just want to talk to you and this is the first opportunity we've had to do that in weeks. But clearly a room full of people was not the right place.”“So you guys decided to wait until the perfect time to get me alone, away from my family?” She crossed her arms against her chest.“You’re looking at this the wrong way, Millicent.” Evan sighed “I know what Austin did was terrible, but you've been like a daughter to us for a long time. Even before you started dating our son. Don’t you think that should be enough for you to consider giving us just a minute of your time?”“I thought all this time would also be enough for your son to have some loyalty, but apparently, I was wrong. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”“Austin made a mistake that he will r
“Mother…” Dante muttered, clearly surprised that this woman had come to him first.“What a lovely family reunion!” Florence said, either unable to read the tense mood in the air, or just ignoring it so she could focus on gaining Emma's favor “You see, Emma? Your son just wanted to talk to you. Aren't you glad you accepted my invitation? I said that besides talking about the business proposal my husband has for you, we could all get together. The Bianchis are yet to become one family with the Carnbys, I tell you…”"Get out." Emma cut her off, her voice still thin and merciless as Millicent remembered, even though she hadn't seen that woman since she was a toddler.“What…?” Florence stammered, trying to maintain her posture.
“You look quite adorable, you know?” Isaac murmured in her ear as they danced, making the skin on her neck crawl.“Huh?” she asked, trying again to put her thoughts aside and focus solely on dancing.“The way you look whenever you say something to put Austin, that girl, or anyone else in their place. Your cheeks turn pink and you become lost in thought, as if you were in disbelief at yourself for having managed to do this.” he said, with an amused tone and more detail than she expected “Or… Maybe you were really upset to see your ex-fiance and his mistress still together?” His good-natured expression gradually disappeared after each word.“Of course not!” she growled, disgusted by that thought “I may be far from having forgiven him, but all tha
If Jasmine's goal was to make an impressive entrance, she certainly succeeded, because many of the guests several feet away from where they stood had turned their necks to look at her. Perhaps not only because no one expected Austin's mistress to attend an important event like that, but also because she hadn't chosen a dress that was the least bit discreet for the occasion, with a long dark red skirt covered in sparkles and a large ruby necklace on her neck that would not let her go unnoticed in any way. On her face, there was a convinced little smile, as if just by being there in front of Millicent she had already won something.However, that confidence only lasted until the moment when Florence seemed to recover from the shock.“What…” she panted, furious “What is this woman doing here, Austin?!”“Mom, I…” Austin stuttered, his gaze at Jasmine not at all soft or romantic “I… I don't know, but I promise I'll sort it out right now.” he growled, lunging at Jasmine to grab her arm. “I
“What a lovely surprise.” Florence was the first to break the silence between them, plastering her face with a sycophantic smile that Millicent knew very well “When could I have dreamed I would have two of the loveliest young women in High Society grace my ball? Oh, Alessia, darling, it's been so long since we've seen each other. You look stunning, as always.” Austin’s mother approached, running her hand through Alessia’s long and strawberry blond, almost red hair.“Thanks, Florence. It's always great to come here. You throw the best parties.” Alessia laughed “Although, I hear the real action has been happening outside of the galas thanks to your son, right?” “That… It was nothing more than a misunderstanding. It's a shame you heard about that horrible episode from the wrong people, but as soon as I have some free time tonight, I promise I'll tell you what really happened.” Florence forced a smile, clearly eager to end the conversation “Anyway, it's great to have you here, my dear. A
If anyone in high society were asked who Millicent Bianchi was, there would be only one answer: She was the eldest daughter of Massimo Bianchi. And, because of that, she had everything.Even though she doesn't deserve it. She had a loving family, loyal friends, a job she had achieved without any effort and a surname that carried a legacy too great for someone as mediocre as her... And now, she also had a flawless engagement party. Courtesy of a perfect groom to a not-so-perfect bride. This was very clear to everyone, as her future husband was happily greeting all the High Society bigwigs who were scattered around the Bianchi’s garden, while Millicent was there, hidden in the shadows, observing everything from afar.Like always. “You know you don’t have to force yourself to do this.” Her mother’s gentle voice whispered in her ear “It’s a big step. If you don’t want to go through with all of this, your father and I will be here to protect you and sort things out.”“I know you will be...
