Chapter: The other woman Monday couldn't have arrived sooner with the kind of weekend that I had experienced. Being humiliated by Tatiana was bad enough. Being threatened by Ivan because I refused to sleep with him was another thing altogether.I was smack in the middle of a family drama that I did not want to be a part of. I tried to rake my head for ideas to get out of the situation but I didn't get any.I was glad I had a job. Otherwise, I would spend the whole day thinking of the situation. After getting dressed, Boris and I headed to the art gallery.I was ten minutes early to my shift because I wanted to study the paintings before customers started to come in. As soon as I arrived, I realized Grace wasn't eager to greet me.Every day since I started working the job, she always made sure to greet me by the entrance and ask me how I was doing. That day, she didn't even bother to look at me.I wore my name tag and circled the gallery just admiring paintings and trying to figure out what message they convey

Chapter: No one hurt her MILO POV When Boris told me the person who made Emilie cry, I wanted to punch holes in the wall. That morning when I woke up and she was fast asleep, I asked Boris everything that happened and to my surprise, he told me everything.It came as a shock because, in a normal circumstance, he would avoid telling me anything.

Chapter: More threats When I woke up, of course, Milo was gone. I wanted to be disappointed but then I realized the spot next to me on the bed was still warm.Milo had stayed the night for the first time. I couldn't fight off the smile that was slowly forming on my face. It was wiped off when I remembered the events of the brunch Tatiana had invited me to.Milo swore he wanted to know who had been harassing me but little did he know, it was the love of his life. I couldn't compete with Tatiana and I wasn't even going to try.In a somber mood, I headed out of my room and went straight to the kitchen. Imagine my shock when I saw Milo sitting there casually drinking coffee.He was dressed in a crisp suit with a jacket on this time. His tattoos were barely visible in his full suit. I could tell he was on his way to a corporate meeting even while he had bruised knuckles and cuts all over his face. I briefly wondered when he had gotten a new suit. Why didn't I hear him showering? Maybe I had been too deep in my

Chapter: In a dissary Boris didn't need to tell me he'd warned me about Tatiana for me to see it plastered on his face. He had given me a similar look before I left the house with Tatiana and I had chosen to ignore it. had taken a leap of faith and it had bitten me right in the ass. I wish I had trusted my intuition and stayed away from her. She was nothing but a vile woman whose goal had been to embarrass and humiliate me.Anya was there when I got home. As soon as she saw me, she hugged me and soothed me. I sobbed in her arms and clutched onto her. She must have known the brunch would be terrible."What happened? You can't even wear this dress again." She said, "It's permanently stained."I didn't tell her what happened because I didn't want to talk about it. Instead, I told her I needed a shower but really, that was an excuse so that I would be alone to cry as much as I could. The humiliation I felt that day was greater than I ever had felt in my entire life.I couldn't imagine a woman would want to

Chapter: Manipulated It was humiliating standing there when I knew the women were referring to me even though they didn't know it. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me alive. "A girl that young must have some daddy issues to be with Milo. I heard she isn't even twenty yet," a woman said. "You're lucky he always comes back to you every single time. He will never replace you. He was crazy to think that he ever could."The women laughed and hauled a bunch of insults that they didn't even know I was standing right next to Tatiana. I wondered how she thought I felt when her friends said all those nasty things about me while I said nothing."Men are always replacing us with other versions of ourselves. I mean, you could have the real thing if you wanted. Why would you want to replace the original with a lesser version?"Was that what I was? Was I a lesser version of Tatiana? Was that what she had been trying to convey to me the entire time we were at the brunch?"I think I need to leave," I said to Ta

Chapter: ManipulatedI didn't see Milo or Maximo for the next couple of days. Milo still sent me little gifts here and there and messages to check on me. Every single day I woke up, there was always a rose on my bedside table.I would have deluded myself into thinking that he personally brought me the rose but I knew better. I doubted he had even been ten feet near the penthouse.That particular morning, I woke up to Anya making me breakfast. She had been turned into my personal chef by Milo. There were cameras in other places in the penthouse other than my bedroom.Otherwise, how would have Milo realized that I really liked Anya and I wanted her close at all times?As we were chatting in the kitchen, the elevator dinged indicating someone had come in. There weren't too many people that came into the penthouse so I went to check who it was.I found Tatiana arguing with Boris by the door. She wanted to come in and he was standing in her way. I crossed my arms against my chest and wondered what the best thi
