When I got back to Dominic's mansion, my whole body was exhausted, my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to crawl into bed to sleep."Esther, come here."Before I could even enter my room, Dominic suddenly called me back. He sat on the sofa, his arms resting on the armrests, making his posture look lazy, his eyes slightly half-lidded.I obeyed, walking towards him.Dominic stared at me, his eyes were no longer cold, but there was a charm in them"Did I tell you this dress suits you?" Dominic licked his lips softly."Um." I nodded. I guess Dominic was probably a little drunk, so his memory was worse than usual."But now I don't like seeing you wearing it.""So what do you want me to wear?""I want... to see you... naked..."Dominic's words seemed to have a magical force urging me to unbuckle. I almost forgot something important. By day, I am his temporary fiancée, by night I am the mistress to please him. Quite frankly, Jade was half right. I am a master's secret mistress, but that m
The fact that Dominic and I secretly promised to pretend to be engaged for three months was a matter only the two of us knew. Dominic certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Kaylin about this. And of course I don't either.It follows that the conversation in Joan's royal garden that day was overheard by Kaylin.This is really bad, if this secret is revealed then I will bear all the humiliation and be spit on by the nobility. A scandalous ballerina will never become famous. I cannot let that happen."Kaylin, if you don't have proof, don't say such things." I tried to calm down and looked at Kaylin."Is that so? Then you should try to hide the evidence well, don't let me find out. By the time I reveal to everyone that you're just Dominic Arnold's lustful mistress, your life will be miserable."Kaylin said casually, then left with Jade and her friends. Jade looked at me with a triumphant look, she seemed to be gloating when Kaylin helped her bully me. They're all mean girls and I'm r
It wasn't until lunchtime that Layla responded to my messages."Sorry, I don't have one. Try to borrow someone else's.""Oh no problem." I was a little bit disappointed. For some reason, I have the feeling that Layla seems cold to me, not as close and comfortable as before. "Layla, shall we have lunch together?"I bit my lip, hesitated a bit before sending the message."Sorry, I'm busy." Layla responded very quickly. But soon, she sent another message. "By the way... are you going with Garrick Harvey?""I haven't invited him yet. You want to ask him out for lunch?""Oh no... I mean I just remembered that I'm free this afternoon, it would be more fun if Garrick Harvey was with us."I looked at the text messages on my phone and suddenly realized that my friend Layla has a crush on Garrick. If so, I don't mind helping her out a bit."Okay, then let me invite him."Not knowing if telepathy works or not, Garrick Harvey happened to be standing right in the garden. The dressing room window w
Dominic Arnold really went on a business trip for three days, he disappeared without a trace. Taking advantage of this leisure time, I decided to use the powers of mistress, shopping for some necessary personal items.I went for a walk in the mall and picked up a few pairs of ballet shoes. When I stopped by the high-heeled shoe store, my gaze faltered a little. I really like the glittery rhinestones, they look both shiny and classy. However, as a ballet dancer, I have to admit that my feet are very ugly, so wearing high heels really doesn't look good at all.I gazed at the designer high heels for a while to satisfy my own liking, then was about to leave.Unexpectedly, the saleswoman warmly approached me and invited me to buy high heels."Pretty lady, would you like to come into our store and check out the latest high heels?The new collection of high-heeled shoes "Iridescent Crystal" is released, a beauty like a lady should not be missed."The saleswoman's skillful greeting really mad
In the evening, after eating, I went to my room to try on clothes. Except for the expensive "Shining Ruby" high heels, the items I bought were pretty cheap. Mainly, I buy the necessary items for ballet.Since I was pranked by Kaylin's friends and ruined my beautiful ballet dress, I decided to buy a few more sets in case the same situation happened.I stood in front of the mirror, trying to pull the zipper of my dress, but my fingers couldn't reach it."Aww, the zipper is so hard to take off..."Suddenly, a cold hand touched my back. Immediately after, I felt the buckle of my skirt being easily undone. The masculine scent enveloped the space and I immediately realized who was standing behind me."Thank you, Dominic Arnold. Did you just get home?""Um." After helping me, Dominic undressed leisurely and went to the bathroom.I heard the rushing water, maybe he was about to take a shower."Get me a clean towel and a set of pajamas."Dominic's voice came from the bathroom, and I did as he
'You get what you wish for'. That probably worked for me.A few days later, a lawyer suddenly contacted me. He said he could help me get the inheritance. With suspense and excitement, I made an appointment to meet him at a cafe near Malibu Academy. Right after afternoon ballet class, we met."Hello Miss Joan. I'm Attorney Kevin.""Hello, Mr. Kevin." I took his business card, smiled slightly, and sat down."Do you have tea or coffee?" Attorney Kevin politely asked me."Tea, please."While waiting for the waiter to bring the drinks, we talked for a while to get to know each other. Turns out, Kevin is not the lawyer that Dominic Arnold sent me as I thought. He was a lawyer with a famous law firm and happened to know of the inheritance trouble I was having.At first, I was a little hesitant to trust Kevin, but Dominic assured me nonetheless that he would help me with this troublesome inheritance. I still remember the agreement between me and Dominic, if he helps me get the inheritance tha
I returned to the academy just in time for the teacher to enter the classroom. This is a supplementary class exclusively for Royal, the most prestigious and famous ballet group at Mailbu Academy.The members of the Royal group are all famous ballet dancers and have won many professional awards.Except for Kaylin, Garrick, I recognize a few familiar faces. Jade Roxaleen, Baldric Herrington and Veronica. If Kaylin was dubbed the 'white swan' of Malibu academy with her ability to captivate audiences, Veronica is the 'black swan' that is both mysterious and attractive.Veronica's personality is quite quiet, introverted and has no friends. She's the same age as me and doesn't come from a noble family. She is Ms Glenda's cousin, a descendant of a family with a tradition of ballet since childhood. Out of all of us here, Veronica is considered to be the most innovative and unique ballet dancer.As soon as I entered the classroom, many eyes fell on me, including Baldric Herrington. In the past
The pain in my ankle made me limp. I plan to go straight to the bus stop and go to the hospital. It's getting colder and colder and this is pretty bad for the bump on my ankle. By the way, I also want to visit my mother.Outside the academy's gate, several students were still gathering. They are probably waiting for the family's private car to pick them up. Being born into a wealthy family was a great advantage for them."I feel sad for Esther Joan, she's so delusional that she can pass Kaylin just because she got better than Kaylin on the assessment.""Duck can't be compared to swan, haha. Anyway, Kaylin is Jenny's favorite student, Kaylin's position won't change.""That's right. And even if there was someone who could really replace Kaylin, it would only be Veronica, not the country girl Esther Joan."I had deliberately ignored their teasing, but it seemed they were purposely aimed at me and wanted to see me angry.My intention is to shut up and leave, to avoid bothering with these
