Hello, everyone! Today's second chapter might be a little late, but I'll try to post it in the next few hours, okay? ^^
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
“You can do this, Millie. Just… Breathe.”Millicent muttered to herself, hoping her frantic thoughts might drown out the murmurs and sharp looks that followed her the instant she crossed the hallway. “Oh, it looks like daddy’s little princess insisted on coming to yet another meeting… What do you think?” a female voice asked, mischievously “Is she finally going to present something today? Or just lean on Mr. Carnby’s work, as always…?”“Are you crazy?!” another woman gasped “Lower your voice! Mr. Bianchi may not be here today, but he will definitely know if any of us are caught talking shit about his daughter!” It would have been very easy for Millicent to simply turn around and confront them. However, since the last thing she wanted was to see someone on their knees, begging her to save their jobs, she just continued on her way, silently. Presenting her project was the only thing she should worry about and the only reason she was fighting her heavy eyes and her tired body. It had t
“And that is my proposal, gentlemen.” Still motionless, Millicent watched her fiancé sit down, not even looking in her direction as the executives began to chat among themselves, clearly satisfied. Austin just remained smiling, almost as if he hadn't realized he had just introduced her project as his own, repeating every single word she had rehearsed exhaustively over the past few days. “An excellent presentation as always, Mr. Carnby.” one of the executives praised “Now, to complete our list, we have… Oh. Miss. Bianchi.” the old man snorted, causing all the eyes at the table to turn to her, but not in a friendly way.For a moment, Millicent managed to part her lips, but no words dared to come out. What could she say to convince these men that the project they were praising had been entirely hers? Should she just embarrass herself like that, even though she knew they would just laugh and mock her? “Millicent decided to take a break from her own project to help me with mine.” Austin
For a moment, the hallway was so silent that, in the midst of her shock and horror, Millicent even wondered if she was hallucinating, after such a terrible day.But Jasmine didn't let that doubt last more than a second. “Yes, Austin, baby! Harder!”“What the fuck…!” Sage growled under his breath “Those bastards! I can't believe it…! Millie? Millie, wait…!”Ignoring that low request, Millicent just let her feet guide her numb body to Jasmine's bedroom door, where not only did the suggestive growls become clearer, but she could also hear a second voice. The voice of someone who was obviously there with Jasmine, but who was still like a knife in Millicent's chest.“I already told you to shut up!” Austin grunted, but there was a clear smile in his voice.“Why?” Jasmine proved, her voice distorted with a malice that Millie would never have imagined her sweet and joyful friend was capable of “Are you afraid that some guard will hear us again…? Or, maybe, that your precious baby girl may be
As soon as she knocked on the door of Isaac's room for the first time, Millicent had to muster all her concentration not to tremble. About ten minutes had passed since she had heard Austin and Jasmine say things she would never forget, but the realization only seemed to be hitting her at that moment, as the tension grew in her chest. The mix of anger and a broken heart had made it seem like her only choice, but…Was she really about to do something like that?However, before she could even reflect on that question, the door opened and, suddenly, Isaac was there, making her swallow hard. He was wearing just sweatpants and a towel around his shoulder. His dark blond hair was still damp and, to her surprise, his chest was not just covered in muscles and tattoos, but also scars, some so deep that not even the ink could hide. It was probably the result of the accident he got into after driving drunk when they were teenagers, but still…“Let me guess…” he interrupted his thoughts, with thos
“Oh, baby… You promised me you would let me drink something before we enjoyed our last moments at the hotel…”Jasmine's giggle was pretty audible, but Millicent just ignored it and continued staring at the long, impeccably arranged table in front of her, patiently waiting for her guests to arrive at that particular bar in the hotel.“Millicent!” Austin gasped and, only then, did she allow herself to turn around, wearing the best smile she had rehearsed “What are you doing here?” She watched Austin pull away from Jasmine suddenly, arranging his robe like he was the epitome of chastity and Jasmine had her hair messed up like that just because of a good night's sleep.It was sickening to realize they had never made such a point of hiding those clues, but Millicent just turned a blind eye to it, acting like the blind idiot she knew they were hoping to find."Good morning. I hope you guys are hungry.” was all she said, as warmly as she could manage “I woke up early and asked the chef to pr
“Are you sure you’re okay, Millie?” Sage’s murmur in her ear made Millicent’s head throb, but even so she quickly disguised her expression, giving her bodyguard the calmest smile she was able to force."I am fine. It's just a little fever. The pills may be taking a while to work, but I'm sure I'll be better soon.” she tried to convince even herself, dragging her haggard body in the direction of where the hotel employees were carrying her bags “I think the last few days have taken more of a toll on me than I expected.” Millie grumbled, needing to hold her heavy head for a moment “You look irritated. Did something happen?”"No. Things are going as you predicted.” Sage growled lowly, clearly furious “But that bastard had the audacity to take his bitch on your father's jet and leave you here, all alone...” “Don’t worry. I know.” Millie muttered, taking out her cell phone to look one last time at the messages Austin had sent her.“Hey, baby. I hope your shopping in the city was good, beca
Millicent's body felt as heavy as lead when she managed to open her eyes, but at least her head wasn't hurting anymore. The last thing she remembered was being carried by Isaac to a seat on his plane, where an old doctor with a kind smile had given her some more pills. However, those had been strong enough to knock her out in a way that she didn't even know how much time had passed. Although they were certainly no longer on the ground, as there were clouds passing by the small window nearby...And Isaac was sitting in the armchair right in front of hers. His broad body dominated everything and made even that huge padded chair seem small. He still looked cold and intimidating, even though he looked casual like that, as he checked something on the tablet in his hands. But the way he was no longer wearing a jacket and the top few buttons on his shirt were half open made Millicent blush. Damn, she was too sick
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 mo
Millicent was no longer a virgin. That was the first thing she thought when she opened her eyes after a quick nap and found herself After what had happened with Austin, she had even thought that this moment would never come. But, well, it would be difficult to remain a virgin when Isaac had fucked her in various positions and places in the bedroom throughout the evening. And night. And that early morning… And she had loved every second of it.It was a good thing it was Sunday, because she would need to sleep for a long time to regain her energy.The spot between her thighs was sore and her body was a little stiff, but not in a bad way. It was as if she had overdone it a little at the gym, but… For good reason. She should probably get up right away and start getting ready so she wouldn't be home too late, but that sweet exhaustion only made her want to snuggle even more into the warm bed and stay there, feeling Isaac's fullness on the pillow right next to her. Millicent would have to
“Oh, God…” Millicent wailed, her breath catching in her throat as she instinctively dug her nails into Isaac’s back, as that new sensation washed over her.“Take a deep breath.” Isaac murmured, freezing in place with just an inch inside her, as his hands slowly trailed down her belly in a gentle caress “It’s just for now. You will feel better in no time…”Millie, however, didn't give him much time to continue his comforting, as sweet as it was to know he was worried about her. Overcome by that feeling of urgency, she tightened the embrace of her legs around his waist, undulating against him until she could feel a little more of his thickness inside her.“What…?” he grunted in pleasure, but still held her hips firmly, almost as if he believed she had done it unintentionally “You… You're not in pain…?”“I… I don’t know…” she admitted, not knowing if that was the right word to describe the feeling of being filled completely like that “I… I always heard that sometimes there is no pain, bu
For a moment, Millicent can only stand there, her blood cold and her stomach churning with despair as she observes the marks on his legs. The burns were certainly old, as the color was dark and there were parts that had gone through a better healing process than others. While his feet and ankles were completely covered, irregular waves rose to near his knees, becoming brighter and clearer until they disappeared.And her heart sank as Millicent imagined the kind of pain he must have gone through to be marked like that.“Sometimes I forget how disgusting this can be to see.” Isaac commented, finally snapping her out of her shock “Doctors often say I could have reconstructive surgery, but I don't see why I should bother with something like that.” he said coldly, with his eyes on the clothes scattered on the floor “I can always get dressed again, of course…”"No!" Millicent jumped onto the bed, grabbing his wrist “Please, don't say that. I would never feel disgusted with you. It’s just…”
In total, Millicent tried to have sex with Austin three times. It sucked that she was thinking about this at a time like this, but in her defense, it was almost shocking the difference between those three terrible moments and what was happening at that moment. Everything with Austin was about manipulations and his own desires. She had never really felt like sleeping with him, but had been carried away by his whining and mumbling about how, if she really loved him, she would prove her love in bed. But as great as that bastard was at convincing her to do what she didn't want, not even his talk had been able to make Millicent fight the repulsion and desperation of having him approach her like a pervert, wanting to snatch her underwear. It would forever be a relief that she had never let him get this far, not even with her bra on.Now, however, all that was coveri
“Did you notice the car too?” Isaac asked, as Millicent looked in the rearview mirror at the sports car that was right behind them.“It's hard not to notice when I'm not making any effort to be discreet.” she grumbled, watching Austin's car almost get hit by another when the light they had just passed turned red “I don't know how many messages I've already had to send to Sage asking her not to intercept them. Jasmine must be very determined to become the new Mrs. Carnby if she is willing to watch her boyfriend become a stalker stalker.” Millicent sighed, relieved to realize that they were approaching Isaac's condominium “Are you sure you shouldn't notify your security team too? If Austin seems comfortable following us, I don't doubt he'll try to get in here.”"Don't worry. The security team at this place knows the
“I'm not even surprised they came all this way…” Millicent muttered as she watched her ex-fiancé and his girlfriend enter the bar, surrounded by an unnecessarily high number of security guards, as if they were celebrities or something “But knowing they probably had someone watching me, so they knew I was coming here, really pisses me off.”“I think it was too much for Austin to know you would continue to be seen with me without him being able to do anything to stop it.” Isaac commented, sitting comfortably in the chair next to hers, looking as resigned to the situation as Millicent.“Typical of him.” Millie grumbled, taking the last sip of her drink and trying to pretend just that small glass hadn't already messed with her head.“Do you want to leave?” “And let him think that just his mere presence is enough to make me back out of my date?” she just grunted, pulling her second drink closer “Never.”“Good girl.” A ghost of a smile appeared on Isaac's face and, to her surprise, he cares
“Okay, Millie. 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 h
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
