Millicent had never been the problem child. She had broken some things while playing like any other child and had some arguments with her parents when she was a teenager about how her friends could stay out past midnight and she couldn't. But, that's it. She had never sneaked out or felt like she needed to hide something big from her parents. Maybe that was why she was feeling almost guilty when she came home in the morning, after spending the night with Isaac. It was almost as if she was a teenager again and was finally experiencing what it felt like to have a badboy boyfriend that her parents couldn't know about. Well, it wasn't like she was sorry anyway.Massaging her neck, she sighed softly as she went to the kitchen to get a snack before sleeping the day away. She and Isaac had wasted breakfast and a shower doing everything but what they should have, so she really needed to get her blood sugar up before falling into bed. However, perhaps she should have been paying a little mor
“Very well, I will prepare a report bringing together everything that was decided at this meeting and send it to Mr. Carnby. Does anyone else have anything to add?” Millicent asked, finishing typing on her laptop to face the team members “Well then, we can consider this meeting closed. Thanks for the good work today, everybody.”Her voice was perhaps sounding overly satisfied, but the reason was quite fair. After all, that meeting had been the best meeting Millicent had attended since the day she started working there. Her co-workers were still clearly reticent about her and Laura's perfectionism was still proving to be a thorn in their side, but there was one detail that was able to erase those others and make everything perfect: Austin wasn't around. Apparently, he had decided to waste his time calling a meeting with just the executives and Isaac to try to convince them that Mr. Hughes's financial control was exaggerated and he needed to have free access to the money if they wanted
One last press in the period key on her laptop and Millicent was finally able to stretch out in her chair. Gosh, working almost 10 hours every day was taking its toll on her back and she wasn't even 24 yet. The only good news was that, at least for that day, she had finished all her tasks, reports and calls. Just another half hour and, after reviewing her schedule and making sure there was nothing else she could help the other employees with, she could finish her work day during business hours for the first time in a while.And, who knows, she might even pay Isaac a visit…“Christ, Millicent, get a grip…” she mumbled to herself, running her hands over her flushed face “It hasn't even been 48 hours since you left his apartment. You're losing your mind.”And she really was going crazy, in fact, because all it took was just one memory of being in Isaac's arms and her body seemed to pulse, yearning for something she now knew very well what it was. Was it normal to think about sex so regul
“Millicent?” Austin called again, at the same time the doorknob moved somewhat violently “Stop ignoring me! Mr. Rosenberg's assistant told me she saw you returning to your office.” “What do you want, Austin?” Millicent growled, more enraged about her moment with Isaac had been interrupted than with the fact she had almost been caught “Work hours are almost over…”As she spoke, she tried to straighten herself up and rearrange her clothes, but Isaac wouldn't let her. Instead, he leaned further into her, holding her firmly in place as his fingers slowly moved again, teasing her until Millicent had almost forgotten her ex-fiancé, and his brother, were still standing outside, close enough to hear her moan if she made a mistake.“But the day is not over yet.” Austin snorted smugly, having no idea that Millicent was chewing her lip hard to try and control herself while Isaac's thumb stroked her clit "And, as a supervisor, you still have an obligation to respond to me!"“I already asked what
“Can you stop this, please?” Cassie grumbled and, just then, Millicent looked away from the glass wall nearby, where she could see Isaac perfectly.“Stop with what?” she asked, pretending her face wasn't blushing.“Stop looking at him like you want to go over there and kiss him in the middle of all the executives.” Cassidy snorted, pouring another cup of black coffee for herself “I know you're kind of blown away by this sex thing, but I don't think the office is the right place to show it that much.”“I’m not showing anything.” Millicent's cheeks burned as she remembered what they had done in her office the day before, something she hadn't told even Cassidy and probably never would “I… I can control my thoughts when we're around other people. I mean, it's not like I'm a pervert who thinks about it all the time..." she tried to justify herself, but the skeptical look from her best friend just made her shrug her shoulders "Is it that obvious?""Sincerely? I know you, so I know the differ
“Are you going to make me repeat myself?” Millicent growled, twisting her arm violently to try to free herself from his disgusting hand “Let go of me!”“Stop making a fuss!” He pulled her even closer, his teeth gritted angrily “If that's the only way you're going to stand still and listen to me, then so be it! I will no longer allow you to go around acting like a slut and thinking this is a good thing…!” Austin’s smug voice was replaced by a grunt of pain as Millicent dug the heel of her shoe into his ankle, finally making him release her “Fuck! Why do you always have to act like a bitch lately…!”“Sometimes, I wish I could just rip out your tongue!” Millicent spat, putting as much distance between them as possible “So I would never have the displeasure of hearing your voice again…”“I’m here to try to help you, you idiot, even if you don’t deserve it!” he gritted his teeth, leaning over his ankle as if she had ripped a piece out of him “I've already let this act of yours with Isaac g
Millicent liked to think that, after all the time she and Isaac had spent together lately, she had at least learned to recognize when something was bothering him.And, definitely, at that moment he was bothered by something.Not that Millicent could blame him, of course. She didn't even know all the details of what Isaac had been through with the Carnbys, but Austin's comment about Isaac's mother was still reverberating in her mind. And, if she was restless like that, she couldn't even imagine how Isaac must be feeling. Especially because Austin had mentioned something about burning and, when Millicent remembered Isaac’s feet…God, she wanted so badly to comfort him in some way, but she didn't even know what he would find comforting or if he even wanted her to open her mouth. It wasn't like they were truly friends or if he really wanted to be taking her to his apartment at a time like this. Everything between them was about sex, not feelings.And, for some reason, that saddened her dee
When Isaac entered the room with her in his arms, Millicent felt like she had provoked a wild beast.Maybe it was the way his lips were sliding demandingly down her neck or the firm grip of his hands on her hips, as if her ass belonged to him. Isaac had never really been the calm, romantic type in bed, although she definitely considered him kind, as much as he would hate to hear her refer to him that way. But, that day, he seemed more eager than ever. Hungry and excited. As if those words about possess her weren't just to make her horny.What in Austin's speech left him in this state? It wasn't as if this was the first time Isaac had realized that she had once had feelings for Austin or that getting revenge on him was still one of her main goals. Had he been offended because he thought she was just pretending to want him? Did he really not realize that the feelings she once had for Austin no longer made a difference? It didn't matter if Austin had ever reached her heart, once. That kin
"We know we look terrible, Millie. You don't have to stare at us like we're two abandoned dogs." Cassidy grumbled, rubbing the deep dark circles under her eyes, while Frankie just continued to sip her coffee as if she were drinking water."It's not that." Millicent lamented "It's just... You don't have to go through this. Let me talk to my father. I know I can get you out of Jasmine and Miles' hands...""You spent months thinking you'd lost your project, but you never thought about talking to your father. And now you want to do this just because we lost a few hours of sleep? That's so... You." Cassidy laughed, without much humor "Look, as much as I would love to change positions and have the freedom to tell that bitch to fuck off, Mr. Davis has already talked to me privately. The only thing that annoys me is it took him giving me pity to actually get me close to the promotion I always wanted. I've worked at this company since college, but Jasmine was more relevant than all the effort
Hello everyone!First of all, I would like to apologize for all these weeks of inactivity. I didn't mean to be away for so long. Thank you very much for all the support and kind words from all of you. My father is okay, but he still needs to do some tests to confirm or deny the doctors' suspicions of prostate cancer.These next few weeks will be quite turbulent for me, but honestly, I want to get through them doing what I love: writing. That's why Millie's story is back and, hopefully, this month we will finish it in the best way possible
“Isaac?” Millicent blinked and, unlikely as it was, he was there when she turned, looking as shocked as she felt to see him standing there in the middle of Evangeline Greco's small garden.“What are you doing here?” he asked again, his voice not only surprised but also alarmed and irritated.However, Millicent didn't need much to realize that, even though he was looking in her direction, strangely that question wasn't directed at her.The person next to Isaac looked young, although he was easily the size of three men. Isaac was already extremely tall, but somehow this stranger seemed built like a wall, even though he was Millicent's age at most. He had brown hair and even darker eyes, making it look like his pupils were just two empty spots on his face. It was quite intimidating, Millie had to admit, but at least it wasn't her that stranger was focused on.“Evangeline.” the man next to Isaac said, his voice hard and demanding “Why is there a Bianchi in the house?”“Because this is my
Hello everyone. I'm sorry for the last two days without chapters :(As I said before, my father's health has been my priority lately and, unfortunately, he had to go to the hospital this weekend. Because of that, I've had even less time to write, but I promise that I'll use any free time I have to write and I hope that tomorrow or the next day at the latest we can have a new chapter up.Again, I'm really sorry for not being able to write many chapters and have them ready for you in advance. As soon as things calm down, I'll do my best to change that. Thank you to everyone who is still reading this story, despite all the problems I've been having lately. I hope I can continue and finish this story for you in the best way possible and soon!See you all as soon as I can!
“Hello, Miss Bianchi.” the young woman smiled and Millicent’s heart suddenly felt heavy as she realized that this was, in fact, Mrs. Greco “It is a pleasure that you agreed to come to my meeting. Please, sit down. Tea is always better when it is warm and biscuits from Mrs. Crawford, our housekeeper, are the best accompaniment.” Her smile was still gentle and motherly, although now Millie noticed that even half of her mouth had small burn keloids.Millicent had seen worse burn scars, of course. Isaac’s legs had been licked by fire and there wasn’t an inch of his skin below his knees that wasn’t marked in that way. However, Evangeline Greco’s burns were something different. The area around her eyes was completely covered in scars, but the rest of her face had irregular marks, as if the cause had not been fire, but rather something that had splashed onto her skin, like some type of liquid.“Millie, honey. It's so good to see you here. It feels like ages since we last saw each other.” Som
The last few days had been… Quite chaotic for Millicent, to say the least. And, of all the ways she thought this week could end, the last one was at a Greco party, hidden in the middle of their garden, while talking to Cassidy on the phone.“Are you sure you don’t want to talk?” she asked her best friend, for probably the hundredth time in the last three days “I know you're still mad at me for leaving you alone with Dominic after he asked you to, but… I really think you guys needed to talk. There were many years where you were hiding things from each other.” “I’m not mad at you.” Cassie snorted, her voice too surly for anyone who wasn't irritated “And stop talking to me like I'm a child incapable of accepting reality.” She hesitated for a long moment, leaving the line silent. “Now I realize that, perhaps, we both really needed to hear what the other had to say. Like… Two adults. Not two hurt children who were pretending to be adults.”“So… Did the conversation go well?” Millicent trie
“You son of a bitch!” Cassie hissed, but remained on the floor, fidgeting between cardboard boxes as if straightening her clothes, before finally standing up. “You did that on purpose!”“I told you, love. Neither of them are blind… At least not in the way you’re thinking.” Dominic snorted and, in the next instant, he too crawled out of the destroyed boxes, although he seemed far less concerned than Cassidy with looking decent, still shirtless and with the top button on his pants undone. he glared at his cousin mockingly. “So, how's your game going, Mr. Heartless? For someone who always takes whatever he wants, you seem to be acting like a shy 15 year old, don't you think? ‘It’s not a waste when it comes to you.’ Really? Have you ever thought about writing a book of poems, Shakespeare?”“Well, I'd rather be sensible and act like a shy teenager, as you say, than be treated like someone's shameful secret.” Isaac shot back, “Or do you think your sweet girlfriend brought you here because sh
“Now we just need to strap this to your wrist and… It’s done.” Millicent smiled in relief when she saw Isaac's hands now completely clean and covered in bandages “You have to change these bandages every 6 hours, okay? The skin on your wrist is kinda torn apart. It will take a few days to heal completely. Are you sure you are not feeling pain in any bones? You may have displaced something…”“I’m fine, really. I know how to identify when something in my body is out of place and, believe me, I feel great.” There was a smile on his face, but Isaac purposely seemed to be avoiding her gaze, staying focused only on his bandage “How many times have you been forced to bandage me since we met? You could be as good a nurse as your mother, you know?” “You say that because you've never seen Matteo in action. He is the true future nurse among us. Mother usually only finds out that he hurt himself by falling from somewhere when his injuries are almost healed.” She tried to keep the mood as mild as
“Unhand me, you bitch!” Jasmine screamed, but could do nothing but walk crookedly as Sage held her arms firmly behind her back.“She’s not scratching you, is she?” Millicent sighed, feeling the small scratches Jasmine had made on her wrists burn. “I can hold her for a bit, if you want.”“And let that crazy bitch try to get her claws into you again? No thanks." Sage huffed, pretending not to notice everyone's attention on them as the three of them walked down the halls towards Mr. Davis's office. “Are you sure we shouldn't throw her out a window? There's a trash can right under the waiting room on the sixth floor. It’s the quickest way to get her where she belongs…”“You think you’re going to get away with this, you whore?!” Jasmine screamed, still flailing like a fish in Sage’s arms, even though it clearly wasn’t having any effect. “I’m going to get you fired for this! I will sue you for assault and take every penny you have…!”“Good luck firing my bodyguard when she doesn’t even work
