“Just who is the woman behind that mask?” It’s no lie that Evangeline Laendler is one of the best con artists around. The trail of devastated moneybags who are both heartbroken and near bankruptcy because of her is enough proof. It’s all owed to her impeccable skills of switching through disguises and emanating the characteristics that her targets want to see. But this was not the life she and her dear brother had wanted for Evangeline. So when a high-priced opportunity to retire early suddenly comes, Evangeline accepts it. It was easy anyway. Seduce the billionaire heir, sway him to do terrible things so he doesn’t inherit the company, break his heart, then leave. Easy. It’s not like there was more to this guy’s story, right? What was unknown to her was just how messy and tangled this new job was, revealing secrets that even she never knew about her life. In any case, she will keep fighting to keep the facade on. Although this time, someone might just be able to unveil the real Evangeline hiding underneath.
View MoreLucky for August, the “family” dinner was as pleasant as meals with Hanleys went. It was the usual passive-aggressiveness from Julia and her two younger children that went over his father’s head. Grandma Carilla and Nathan’s silence as they try to appease both sides. And Owen’s lack of awareness as head of the family."Sir, are you sure you don’t want to use the private plane? It would be more comfortable and faster for you,” August’s assistant informed him. Having no patience to stay there any longer, he decided to book a flight to Alaska. It was Carilla who suggested that he go to their unused winter home if he needed somewhere to let off some steam.“I’m sure, Ezra. And you don’t have to come with me. Just take this time off, alright?”And that’s where he was now, sitting on one of the hard chairs in the airport waiting space. Instead of scrutinizing a joint venture contract, August found himself watching a woman a few seats away. More specifically, he was fascinated with what and
“You did great speaking with our suppliers, August. You’ll have to teach me how to speak in Mandarin Chinese for our next meeting with them,” Owen Hanley said with a flashing gleam in his eye, proud of what he had witnessed during the business trip with his son.Try as he might, August wasn’t able to hide his shy smile from that compliment. As they stepped out of their luxury private aircraft, he replied, “Thanks, Sir-”Owen quickly cleared his throat and gave the younger man a stern look.His son chuckled, “I mean, thanks, Dad. But I only thought it best to speak with them directly. That way, things won’t get lost in translation. Then we won’t have to deal with additional problems caused by easily-avoided misunderstandings.”August felt a warm pat on his back as his father ushered him towards a convoy of cars waiting for them. Men in black suits and earpieces greeted them on the way and surrounded them. People around would have thought that the president had landed there.After all t
“Make sure everyone’s ready, I’m about to enter,” the woman said through her phone as she stepped into the Westfield Century Mall with droves of other shoppers.Children running around as their parents struggle to rein them in, teenagers giggling about, and tourists looking around as if they’ve never seen a mall before. The perfect place to do anything without having to fear anyone observing.“Oh, they are ready. Everyone is just waiting for you,” a honeyed voice answered. “See how we’re all working so well together? I don’t know why you would want to get out of this.”The woman rolled her eyes at the false sweetness in the man’s tone. “Damien, I’ve already told you before I even joined this group. I’m not doing this permanently. So take whatever plans you have in that scheming head of yours and shove it up your ass,” she sharply replied.The man groaned, pleasured by her boldness, “There’s the Eve that I love!
