DanielleThe way I moved away from Cole's touch was out of this world. Apart from the fact that his touch made my skin crawl, there was more to it. The way Andrei looked between the two of us was also uncomfortable.“There's no problem,” Cole said, stepping forward. “I was just talking to Melanie. Do you have issues with that?”“Miss Carter,” Andrei corrected. “The two of you aren't on friendly terms, are you?” he asked, looking over at me.“No, we're not,” I assured him.As far as I was concerned, Andrei was family as well. I couldn't have any of them suspecting that something was wrong, especially not when his father was about to chew me raw at the board meeting earlier.“I just wanted to discuss business matters with Miss Carter,” Cole said, playing along.I couldn't help but narrow my eyes at him. Why the fuck was he playing along?Andrei nodded. “If you want help, you can submit a proper proposal to the company. You've overstayed your welcome.”Cole opened his mouth to speak, but

Cole I should have been annoyed and humiliated after the champagne incident. Instead, I was still looking at the screen. Right at Melanie's smiling face as she walked into her office, taking over as the CEO for the first time. How didn't I notice her before? I zoomed into the picture even more, and there was suddenly something that felt wrong about her smile. Like it was a memory trying to claw its way out of somewhere. My heartbeat increases at the sight of her picture. It definitely triggered something. “I'm quite shocked at how composed she was,” one of the news casters on the television said, making me look up from my laptop. The other news caster chuckled. “Considering the Melanie Carter we knew in the past years, we can all say that she has changed remarkably.” I narrowed my eyes at the television. They went ahead to praise her, and I found myself getting slightly irritated. My nails were already digging into the sides of my laptop. Another email popped up on my p

DanielleYou would think that Mr. DaVinci was the last person that was going to attack. But he was only the beginning. “I don't think we should be trusting a woman who crashed her car while she was partying.” Another of the executives looked at Liam. Oh, Melanie. The amount of trouble that you have created for me.I didn't even give Liam the opportunity to speak. “I went into a coma, didn't I?” I asked, looking directly at the woman that just spoke. “You can say that I've been reborn. And of course, I won't be the one assuring you that I've changed. You'll be seeing the change yourself.”She licked her lips, suddenly sitting up. From everything I had learned from Cole in the past, I knew that I was winning this woman over. “Enough of this, please,” Liam said, trying to restore the non-existent decorum to the room. “We had plans of going through the quarterly reports. Melanie, please take a seat while we get the presentation started.”I could feel Andrei's eyes on me, but I didn't e

Danielle My legs shook in my heels as I stood in front of the Carter building. It was huge. Covered in white paint, and glasses. “Are you going to go in, ma'am?” My assistant, Brielle asked, and I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Of course,” I answered her. As I headed up the steps, I tipped my chin. I was just Danielle anymore. I had to remember that. Constantly. The door was pushed open by the guards, and I took in the rest of the buildings. It was the perfect furniture. As someone that spent her whole life studying decor, I could tell that it was expensive just by looking at it. The employees were standing in a straight line. I couldn't push away the thought that the company was a kingdom with sharp teeth, more than willing to chew me raw. They all welcomed me in unison, and I gave them a small nod. I allowed Brielle to walk in front of me, as she led me to my office. Right on the door, it had Melanie's name on it. Well, my name. I rubbed my sweaty hands on my black fi

Danielle The way I took my shoes off was out of this world. My ankles were practically killing me, and so were my cheeks. Heavens knew how Melanie managed to pretend for that long. There was no way that she genuinely smiled at all those people. My heels were in my hand as I got to my room, throwing them somewhere, and plopping down on the bed. I had barely gotten to put my hair down when I heard a knock at the door. “Come in,” I said, and the door was slowly pushed open. One of the maids came into the room, with her hands in front of her. There was a small smile on her face, and I forced myself back to a sitting position. “Do you want something?” I asked, and she shook her head. “Elder Carter has called for you,” she said calmly, and I licked my lips, holding myself back from rolling my eyes. I didn't even care. I was back home, away from those judging eyes. That was what mattered. “I'll be right there,” I said, and she nodded, walking away. I took a deep breath, rubbing

ColeYvette was losing her mind as she helped me wipe my shirt in front of the mirror in the bathroom, but I was barely listening to her.There was something about that lady. Melanie Carter. I already loved the way her name rolled off my tongue.Another thing. She wasn't beneath me. She was above me. More reasons for me to want her. To chase after her.“I'm sure we can talk to Mr. Carter by ourselves,” Yvette said, finally gaining my attention.“Do you have the connection we need to get to him? Melanie is the only way.” I tried not to sound harsh, but there was no way to hide the truth. “When it comes to the business, I don't need to remind you about how useless you are.”The business was losing investors again. I had yet another bright idea that was going to blow minds. I just needed a primary investor. And the Carters were my ticket to greatness.She frowned, maintaining eye contact with me for a while before she went back to wiping. “Why are you calling her name like you're old tim
