last update Last Updated: 2024-12-27 23:57:35

“Why do you look like you haven’t slept in days?” Cassidy asked, but the only answer Millicent was able to give her was a long yawn. “How many hours did you guys spend on that date today? Two or three? What could have happened to give you dark circles that big?”

“Nothing happened. I just… I couldn’t sleep properly.” Millicent couldn't control another yawn.

“If nothing happened, then what exactly kept you awake?” her best friend insisted, even though Cassidy was having to divide her attention between herself and all the reports on the computer screen that Mr. Davis had demanded be reviewed later that day.

“I think… It was just because nothing happened.” she admitted with a deep sigh “It was all very… Tense, I guess. I don’t know if I know the right word to describe how I feel around him since that… Kiss.” Millicent mumbled as quietly as she could, “I know I should be happy about this, because it will make our fake affair a lot easier and now I can be sure there's nothing wrong with me

    "Ms. Poulin?" Millicent stood up, surprised “It's good to see you, but... I think there may be some mistake in the schedule that may have been passed on to you. The new meeting to discuss the details of the project will only take place in 3 days…”"I know." the old woman snorted, not paying her any attention, while other team members crowded near the door with their expressions full of dread. “But I decided to get ahead of myself and save my time. It's all rubbish. Do it again and, this time, correctly, if you want me to continue with this project.”That disdainful look was powerful enough to make Millicent's blood run cold and, under other circumstances, she would certainly have her head down and totally intimidated by Laura, as well as her colleagues on the outside. It would be much easier to just give in and go through the enormous trouble of doing it all again. It would be Austin's responsibility anyway, since everyone thought he was the sole leader and creator of that project. How

    “Oh, Millie, honey. You look so beautiful!” Thea sighed, even needing to pull out another tissue nearby “It always makes me so happy to see you looking stunning like this. Especially knowing you’re about to have the displeasure of enduring the Carnbys for an entire night…”“Thanks, Thea.” Millicent smiled, running her eyes one last time at the sight of herself in that dark green dress in the reflection of the mirror “You and Mom always manage to make me look so much better than I actually do.”“What have I said about commenting on things like that?” her mother sighed, moving nimbly around to straighten every detail of Millicent’s dress, almost as if she herself wasn’t already cramped into a formal gown “I know you don’t care about looking pretty just because Austin is going to be there. I also think it's bullshit to want to show he lost the most beautiful woman in the world. This is already obvious to everyone, after all. But, I'm glad you finally want to highlight your beauty instead

    The Carnbys' spring formal seemed more crowded than usual. Evan was the type of businessman who never refused to reach out to anyone as long as the other person offered enough money to do so, so obviously he had more “friends”, partners and clients than his family's huge mansion could support. Even so, they seemed to have squeezed in a hundred more people that year, almost to the point of making it difficult for waiters to move among the guests with trays of drinks and appetizers in their hands.And, even with that crowd divided into several different groups and distracted by several different conversations, almost everyone still turned to see Millicent and Isaac entering the room.“I wish they would at least try to hide it…” Millicent muttered to herself, but Isaac didn't even seem to have to make an effort to listen.“We are their evening's entertainment. They're probably relieved to have something to talk about now, instead of having to keep pretending to like each other.” Isaac c

    “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.

    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

    “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

    “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.

    “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

    “That’s what you call capture?! Where did you put the fucking wire I gave you? In your ass?” Commissioner Wilson shouted, making Isaac roll his eyes.“If you are incompetent and cannot capture the evidence you prepared yourself, then it is not my problem.” he sighed “I could have ended up with a bullet in my head if that piece of junk of yours had let out one last hiss, but you’re not listening to me talk shit, are you?”“Listen here, you son of a bitch…”“Calm down, Greg. The boy has a point. Don't forget he is our best tool right now. None of the others managed to approach the Greco’s as successfully as he did.” Wilson’s right-hand man, Detective Holloway, interceded “Relax a little. What we captured was enough evidenc

    “I hope you don’t mind giving me a few minutes of your time, sweetie.” Fiona smiled, her body expression and murmured voice making it clear she was, once, certainly very seductive.“Should I be interested in something that cannot be heard by Mr. Greco?” Isaac shot back, but his words only made her laugh.“Why, darling. Anyone who does business with the Greco’s is part of the family and you shouldn’t act like that towards the family.” She placed her hand on his shoulder, stroking it for a second, before he moved away “Besides, it's not like I'm wanting to do anything out of Ugo's eyes. I just know this is a subject that bores him, but I have a feeling it won't be like that for you.” “Maybe, if you take the trouble to be a little more direct, I can tell you whether I’m interested or not.”“A straightforward man, I see. Well, from what I've heard about Evan's plans for you, I can't say it's your fault for being so grumpy like that.” she sighed, falsely worried, but obviously didn't pursu

    Greco's Strip Club smelled of smoke, alcohol and sex. A smell so strong that it seemed to permeate everyone there, from the burly security guards guarding each of the doors and the completely naked women gyrating in the polidances. Even Isaac felt like that smell would stay in his nose forever, even if he had only visited that club a handful of times. When it all started, he thought he would have to become a regular at that place to get what he wanted, like the rest of the drunk men scattered around. However, Ugo Greco seemed to have made plans for him sooner than Isaac expected.“Here, handsome.” the waitress who had guided him inside the club stopped in front of a huge iron door that appeared to be armored, an inviting smile on her face “You can ask the girls inside whatever you want, but don't forget that I saw you first, yes?” When he simply ignored her and went to open the door, the girl just snorted, “Still playing hard to get, I see. I can increase the discount I said I would g

    After everything she had gone through to get to that position, Millicent never thought she would be distracted during a meeting with executives. But, that was exactly what was happening at that moment. And there was only one culprit, the same one who was sitting by her side in the meeting room.Isaac Carnby.In another of many moments of weakness, she glanced in his direction out of the corner of her eye, only to look away quickly when she found those blue eyes fixed on her. Damn. Her body missed him. Madly. She couldn't deny it. However, a part of her was still angry with him. And her pride simply couldn't allow what had happened at her uncle's party to be forgotten so easily. If they really were partners, then he had to learn to communicate with her, especially about serious matters, like what he had insinuated about Austin. As much as her lips were burning for his kiss, Isaac needed to learn to be honest with her. After all, what did he think his mouth was for? Just to touch his lip

    “Millicent! Millicent!” Austin’s scream echoed through the halls, closer and closer to Millicent’s ears, but she didn’t let it bother her. Instead, she continued to stare at the laptop on the table, standing next to Laura Poulin, until the office door finally opened, making a loud clang as if it had been kicked.“Millicent!” Austin growled, his face almost scarlet with anger “What did you do…?” he was in the middle of asking the question when he finally seemed to notice Laura standing there, which caused his posture to change drastically, like a flame hit by ice water “Mrs. Poulin… Why didn't you tell me you'd be in the office today? I would be delighted to welcome you to my office...”“Mrs. Poulin is not only involved in the films and series that will come out of your project, Mr. Carnby.” Millicent snorted, straightening up “Anyway, we're having a private meeting. Why did you come into my office uninvited and cause such a commotion?”“The reason? I just found out that you broke an ag

    “Mr. Carnby…” Mr. Young was the first to speak, looking as shocked as Millicent felt to see Isaac act that way, his hateful gaze in his brother’s direction, making no move to let go of Austin’s wrist “I think you misunderstood what we were talking about. There is nothing personal about the proposal we just made to Miss Bianchi…”“And, even if there was, none of that is your business!” Austin growled, but even his best efforts didn't seem to be able to make him escape Isaac's grip “We're talking about something that will contribute to the company you've invested millions in, as you always make a point of repeating. Isn't that why you appointed my ex-fiancee to oversee my project? To make sure you always had an eye on everything? Or could it be that, in the end, all you wanted was to keep your eyes on something else, Isaac?” he sneered, with a smirk “It seems not everything is completely under your control, as you like to pretend, right?”Millicent waited for Isaac to rebut his brother w

    If there was one thing Millicent knew about Austin, it was that arrogant smile. It was the kind of expression he always wore when he thought he won something, especially a battle.And, if he was acting like that while being accompanied by the other company executives, then it was certainly not something good that was coming.“Hello, gentlemen.” She smiled her best diplomatic smile, as if she didn't have a care in the world as she picked up another glass and approached them “Are you enjoying the party?” “Yes, Miss Bianchi. Despite all the financial problems he has faced in recent years, your uncle clearly still has a lot of support to receive. I am sure he will get through this crisis with ease.” Mr. Young, one of the executives who Millicent knew to be one of the closest to Evan, ran his eyes around the room, not really looking very pleased that Dante was so close to overcoming all the boycotts that Emma was promoting and that no one seemed to have the courage to mention “As expected,

    Millicent hadn't forgotten her resolution after meeting Alessia Greco for the first time. Isaac was a free man and it was none of her business whether he had women throwing themselves at his feet, whether he reciprocated their feelings or not. At times like that, she should just think of a quick excuse to give Everly a satisfactory answer that wouldn't jeopardize their plans. Whether or not Isaac had anything to do with Mr. Greco's daughter, Millicent was sure he would never let that jeopardize their agreement.But for some reason, even knowing all of this and even though Isaac was clearly trying to move his arm away from Alessia and put her on her side, seeing them close like that, looking almost like a couple while Mr. Greco smiled almost proud manner to Isaac, made Millicent's stomach twist in a terrible way.“Do they have business together?” Everly asked, again very interested.“Uh… I don't know all the details about his business. I think this is something only he can answer.” Mil

    “You're a pretty good dancer, Mr. Carnby. Has anyone ever told you that?” Millicent laughed as Isaac twirled her gently in the rhythm of the music around the hall.“If my memory serves me right, I think you're the first to tell me something like that, Miss Bianchi.” There was a teasing smile on his face as his arm wrapped around her hips even more firmly, cradling her against his chest in a way that wasn't necessary during a dance like that "But I'll take it as a new skill I just found out. You know, it’s not like I’m really used to dancing.” “I have a hard time believing that.” she raised an eyebrow as he twirled her perfectly once more “Or, maybe, I’m not giving you enough credit. I took some dance and etiquette classes at school when I was a teenager, but I was always terrible at it. I think all those teachers were right when they said that, if the guide knows what they are doing, then the dance will turn out as it should.” “Well…” his smile fell a little, but his voice remained c
