Chapter 98 - Millicent

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-16 23:59:21

If, three months ago, someone had told Millicent she would be that restless just a few hours after retrieving her project, she would have said it was impossible. Yet there she was, staring at her own reflection in her dressing table mirror, while her feet tapped nervously against the floor. She tried to remind herself this was a night of joy and she should be going to sleep peacefully knowing that everything she had worked so hard on was now back in her hands, but…

For some reason, the words she had heard from Isaac during dinner seemed to have stuck in her mind like parasites, preventing her from feeling truly happy. Or, at least, in peace. The way he had seemed so determined and resigned to the idea of ​​walking away from her... As if that were a certainty and not a distant possibility... That would probably haunt her for the rest of the morning until the next day, when she could finally question him about it...

God, had she really planned on sleeping that night? The idea seemed rid

    Millicent’s determination seemed unshakable the entire way to Isaac’s apartment. But the moment she found herself standing in front of the lobby of his building, her courage slipped a little out of reach, leaving her more restless than she should have been. It wasn't like she was going to talk about feelings with Isaac that night. Or any other night, actually. Millie had realized she become too attached to him, but that was enough. She wouldn't overthink it and perhaps discover those feelings had deeper roots than she was prepared to deal with. Before everything between them started, she had made Isaac a promise that she would be the business partner he was looking for: cold and objective. Not a stupid, emotional girl who was blurring the fine line between their friendship and their physical relationship. Isaac would always be important to her, but Millicent needed to stop herself before it went too far.That was why she was there, at that moment. It was her responsibility to curb h

    It was quite ironic that, on the same day Millicent had officially introduced Isaac to her family, she also had the opportunity to meet the only member of his family she had never laid eyes on. However, very different from the warm and welcoming atmosphere of her family's dinner, the room seemed to become almost funereal when Isaac said his uncle's name, almost as if he and Dominic considered Vincent's presence a bad omen. Still, she cleared her throat, smiling as she stepped forward, extending her hand friendly toward Isaac's uncle.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Carnby. My name is Millicent Bianchi, but I see you already know that.” She remained standing there for some time, pretending to ignore the tension in the air while Vincent just looked deep into her eyes, making no move to accept her greeting.Well, at least now she knew who Isaac had inherited his piercing looks from. In fact, it was now clearer than ever to Millicent that the only trait Isaac had inherited from Evan was

    “And, that’s the end of my proposal.” With a smile, Millicent turned off the projector in the middle of the meeting room, causing all the other project leaders to nod at each other, looking pleased with her presentation “I have already commissioned other audience profile surveys for drama and romance films and series, but for now, this is what I bring to you to show this is an excellent niche for us to invest, in the coming years.”She tried to be as discreet as possible as she let out the breath she was holding, while her new co-workers chatted among themselves, with promising expressions on their faces. It wasn't the first time she'd met all those project managers, of course. As Isaac’s supervisor, she had many meetings with them over those two months to receive reports and find out about all the productions that were being made. However, she hadn't been able to

    “What…?” Jasmine’s voice shook, not just with shock but also with disgust “What did you just say about me…?”“No more trying to pretend you’re just an innocent maiden who was seduced by a taken man, Jasmine!” one of the women sighed “We may have believed this before, but you clearly have a serious preference for rich, married men. What else do you want us to think about you?”“I would never stay with that old man!” she assured and, to Millicent’s surprise, her words seemed genuine, although there was certainly no way to fully believe anything that came out of Jasmine’s mouth “What do you think I am? A slut?!”“And you want us to just believe that, even though Mr. Davis clearly detests you, he's still keeping you in a job just out of sheer generosity? Oh, for God's sake, Jasmine! I once thought you were a really good person, but now your innocent face irritates me! Don't pretend you don't know that Mr. Davis has a sick wife at home! Everyone knows she is extremely fragile! Still, you g

    “I already told you that nothing about what your grandmother told you about that day is true!” Mr. Davis sighed, and Millicent didn't even have time to recover from the shock of what she had just heard, when he continued “I never had anything to do with the fact that car rolled over with Sylvia in it. You know very well she was unstable even before you were born. She was the only one who jumped on the wheel and caused that accident…”“And you want me to believe that neither of you were disappointed when you found out that I had managed to be born, even after that?” Jasmine growled and, even though she couldn't see Mr. Davis's face, Millicent knew the answer just by the fury in Jasmine's next words “You fucking bastards! If you didn't want to have a daughter to be responsible for, you shouldn't have gone around fucking around in the first place…”“You know very well that it was just one night! A single night that was completely planned by your grandmother!” the man grunted, as if only t

    Jasmine Easton was Fiona's granddaughter.While reading the message that Millicent had just sent, Isaac couldn't say he hadn't already suspected that before. And not just because those two women had similarities in appearance that could go unnoticed due to all the plastic surgery on Fiona’s face. The truth is that there seemed to be a pattern of behavior in everyone who was raised among the Greco, even if not directly. Apparently, there was a tendency for them to become insane or acquire that Machiavellian personality. It wasn't as if they were all intelligent, as Fiona's granddaughter was certainly not an example of genius, but she had clearly inherited her grandmother's greed and abilities to make other people's lives hell.“And are you really going to keep Davis’s secret?” he typed back to her quickly “This would be a good opportunity to prove to everyone that Jasmine has been manipulating this situation from the beginning and not just to keep her own job. Plus, I'm sure your father

    “Are you talking about killing Massimo Bianchi?” Vincent questioned coldly, pretending to lean on Isaac's shoulder so he could straighten up on the couch, a silent warning for him to control his reactions "Do you even know what that would entail?"“I see you’re still pessimistic, Vince.” Ugo laughed, lighting a cigar and taking a long drag. “But, hey, don't be like that. My father and grandfather made big bets while they were alive, too. The world is a question of knowing where exactly to invest your efforts.”“But they both died in the retaliation of those high stakes, right?” Isaac’s uncle raised an eyebrow, managing to perfectly maintain his posture, as if he was actually in Ugo’s game and thinking about the matter “Are you willing to pay the price and want to convince us to be too?”“Do you think I would go into this if it wasn’t a good plan? I'm not a crazy dog ​​like my father and brother were. I have brains and I don't let a detail or a slight offense become a fight between fami

    "Shit!" Ugo cursed, turning to Isaac and Vincent with extreme impatience “Did you want time to think about whether you're going to be cowards or not? You just got it. I will let you know when our next meeting will be, where I hope to receive the answer I am waiting for.” he threatened “Just teach your boy that the only safe side of this story is by my side, Vince. You, better than anyone, know this.”“Uh… Boss…” the security guard gulped “We… We also have another situation. It appears that a… Guest arrived earlier than expected. And he wants to talk to you.”"Guest?" Ugo's eyes darted towards Isaac and Vincent, clearly worried about who it could be "Who?"“Open the door, Ugo.” a deep voice sounded from the other side of the armored door, standing out even through the noise of the music blaring downstairs “You said you would welcome me with honors if I returned to America. I'm waiting.”“Nikolaev?!” Ugo grunted, surprised, and Isaac noticed his uncle tense up on his side “Shit. At a ti

    "If you want to make me believe that you were looking forward to seeing us, Ugo..." Vincent didn't let the tense silence in the car last more than a second, lighting a cigarette so calmly that anyone would believe there wasn't the slightest danger in that situation "You're not doing very well. In case you've forgotten, I've been in those big guys' shoes for years. I know you never surprise with the best of intentions."“Oh, that way you’ll make me hurt.” Ugo laughed, taking a long drag on his own cigar “I could have paid more attention to my other commitment and left you two planted in the middle of my club, but I didn't do that, did I?”“I can’t say that’s a lie.” Isaac sighed, keeping his emotions strictly under control "The less time we waste, the better it will be for all of us. I think you probably already know that, earlier, one of Evan's investors called me. Several of them are already starting to rethink their little pet peeve and are willing to support me as the new CEO, as l

    “You better not be planning on doing things yourself, Carnby.” Commissioner Wilson growled on the other end of the line, but Isaac didn't pay enough attention to even get angry.“If you're frustrated because your bosses didn't give you permission to break into Ugo's nightclub today like you wanted, then it's not my fault.” Isaac snorted, watching the city's night lights outside the window of his apartment, while Vincent tapped his cane impatiently against the floor "Would you rather I refuse Ugo's call and completely lose the trust that took us over a year to gain?""I know what you're capable of, Carnby. So you better keep a low profile today and don't do shit just because you don't have a wire on! Remember, if you lose your damn life, then you've fucked up all of my team's hard work.""Thank you for your concern. I assure you that I am not that eager to leave this world and waste your precious work." Isaac sighed, as it wasn't exactly like Commissioner Wilson or anyone else knew that

    "Massimo, could you stop staring at my sister, please? It's kinda rude." Dante said, in a forcedly light tone, but it didn't get a single laugh from everyone around.Millicent already knew her revelation about Laura wouldn't be received with tears or an outburst of joy. Even her aunt knew this, apparently, since Laura had arrived at the Bianchi mansion early in the evening, as if she was hoping that no one else would be there to hear her tell the reason Millicent had invited her. However, even knowing what could happen, it was still a little embarrassing to be standing there in the middle of that room while all the adults stared at each other in silence and the children played outside. There weren't many people in her father's office, at least. Her aunts Lucy and Ruby had left earlier and she had only managed to gather her parents, her grandfather and Dante, as well as his wife, to hear probably the most shocking news of their lives. Now, everyone was looking at each other as that dee

    "What...? What did you just say?" Millicent gasped, but instead of answering her or at least appearing aware of the shocking words that had just come out of her mouth, Laura simply sighed and turned her back to her, beginning to walk away.“I knew I should have waited longer to talk about this with you…”"Mrs. Poulin! Wait!" Millie stuttered, starting to follow her around the room, needing to control herself to keep her voice low "Mrs. Poulin...! Laura! You can't just say something like that and leave...!""Stop making a fuss. I'm not leaving." Laura suddenly grabbed her wrist and only then did Millicent realize that they were now on a small balcony at one end of the party room, hidden from all the other guests. “I just don't want to talk about it in an environment where anyone could overhear and tell Emma.”“So… You… You really are…” Millicent had to hold her own head for a moment, feeling dizzy “But… How is it possible that Emma has a daughter and no one ever knew about it…?”“Becau

    "And I think this will be enough for us to close the contract with the actors. What do you think, Ms. Bianchi...? Ms. Bianchi?"“Uh… Yes.” The sound of her name being called by one of Laura's friends forced Millicent to snap out of her thoughts and at least pretend she was paying attention to what they were saying "That's great. Please keep me posted."“Uh…Of course.” The woman exchanged a quick glance with Laura, as if she was doubting whether Millicent was the one they should be discussing these matters with "The casting coordinator is here somewhere. If you give me a moment, I can find him and bring him here. They have a lot more details on the matter than I do. If you'll excuse me."“Thank you.” Millicent smiled, trying to sound as focused and interested as possible, but obviously not enough to fool anyone. Not even that woman whose name Millie hadn't memorized, much less Laura.“If you can’t pay attention to what’s being said, then why did you come here today?” Laura questioned h

    “So… Are we just going to leave him like that?” Isaac was still lying on the couch in the middle of his living room when that question, coming from Dominic, reached his ears. Not that it would have encouraged him to move, anyway. There didn't seem to be any strength within him to do that.“He brought this on himself.” Vincent snorted, dismissive "I warned him a long time ago what it mean involving the Bianchi girl in our plans. And, most importantly, I warned him about developing feelings for her. If he's now paying the price for not listening to me, then that's entirely his problem. Leave him there pretending to be a corpse, if that's what he wants."“You’re always a great help, old man.” Dominic snorted "I've told you this several times, but I'll say it again: just because you want to risk your life all the time in the mafia's sights doesn't mean we both have to do this too. Isaac has the right to want to have a wife, get married, have a family and all that. In case you don't rememb

    There was an elephant in the room at Millicent’s house.And she was fully aware it was herself.“Give her some space, Massimo.” her mother murmured outside her room, but, as no one among the Bianchis was exactly silent, Millie could hear every word "She'll tell us what happened when she's ready. She's no longer a child who needs our help dealing with her own feelings.""And what do you expect me to do? For me to stand here, pretending like I didn't notice that she was hurt again?!" her father growled "Did you see how she acted after she came back from the office? She couldn't even look us in the eye without looking like she wanted to cry. And now this news that Sage Carpenter asked to step down as her bodyguard?! Something happened! And I'm sure it has something to do with Evan's oldest son! I knew I shouldn't have let him so close to her after we found out what his brother did! Now my daughter is heartbroken again and it's all the Carnby's fault…!”“Don’t make a hasty decision, love.”

    “You’re not even going to try to answer me?” Millicent asked, when the silence in the room began to last too long. "Or are you buying time to think of a way to turn this situation around and convince me that everything is fine? After all, I'm very easy to fool, apparently." Her hands balled into fists, but she couldn't even recognize if what she was feeling at that moment was anger.“Millie…” he murmured and hearing him say her nickname like that, as if he really cared about her, as if somehow he was also suffering, only revolted her more."I asked..." she growled, her voice firm, even though she felt as if something was unraveling inside her chest "If that was your plan from the beginning. You made me think this was all my idea when, in fact, you had planned every detail so that I would have no one else to turn to other than you..." her hands started to shake slightly, but she refused to show it "I thought we were helping each other when I suggested that partnership, but...

    Austin's words left Millicent so shocked she just froze for a second. However, it was still enough time for him to take advantage of her hesitation to play the video, causing the man in the suit on the small screen to start moving.“Very well.” the recording of Austin’s voice said, out of camera range “Start talking.”“Uh… I'm not entirely sure about that, Mr. Carnby…” the man loosened his tie, clearly uncomfortable."I already told you. I'll pay double what he offered you that day. Triple if necessary. You accepted his money quite easily back then for breaking your security procedures, didn't you? Why hesitate now?"“It wasn’t that simple, either…!” the man seemed to try to argue, but, as he looked over the recording, probably where Austin was, he ended up shrinking, almost as if he was trying to conform "Alright... Five months ago, when the rooms and offices of our hotel were reserved by the Bianchi Group, I was responsible for putting together the best possible security arrangement.
