The cover alone was enough to make bile rise up my throat.“Sister you’ve lost...” he snickers before walking out of the room.I clench my fists. My brother wanted me to fail. He wanted to be the only one who could be useful to father. He knows better than anyone what happens when you disappoint father. I’d been cut off until he married Belinda Barco.

Chapter 15Damien Davenport POVI’ve been watching her all night. Since the time she walked in with her father. Elena Moretti wasn’t quite what I expected. I don’t know how to explain it. She stayed away from the crowd the entire night, she stood away from everyone, didn’t touch a single piece of food, her champaign glass stayed most untouched.While everyone else tried to curry favour she stayed away from people who wanted to benefit from the Moretti wealth. People know the Moretti family for their winelands in Italy and they basically have their hands in every other field, media, art, fashion, real estate and electronics. Anthony Moretti has been trying to get his fingers into every field and buying out companies like a man looking for his next fix. He’s been constantly on the hunt for the next big buy for the last three years.Elena hasn’t been interested in business, from what I’ve heard she doesn’t care for anything but shopping. My mother reminded me to give Elena her own credi
Chapter 14Elena MorettiPOVThe flash of cameras blind me as soon as we stepped onto the charity gala’s crimson carpet. They screamed my name“Elena!”“Look here!”“Smile, this way!”As though they were predators and I the glittering prey. I did feel like prey, and they hounds waiting for at least one hair to be out of place so they can have the gossip tabloids post wild accusations about me. I was tired of the constant eyes waiting for me to fail.I smiled. Or at least, I curved my lips in a way that passed for one. There was a reason I was known as the ice princess. It would be how unapproachable I am presented. When I was a teen the nickname stung, now I didn’t care. I was known for never showing interest in anything or anyone.Another thing I could blame my father for.My body ached beneath the silk of my gown. Every step sent sharp reminders of the punishment I’d endured hours earlier, my father’s fury etched into my skin. He’d found out I had walked in on Damien and Bella in hi
Chapter 13Damien DavenportPOVThe champagne glasses clinked like windchimes in a storm, windchimes signalling that my freedom was coming to an end. The laughter of Manhattan’s elite echoing off the vaulted ceilings of the Davenport ballroom, made my insides scream, this was the last thing I wanted to do.The whose who of the business elite were all out tonight, even the Cross couple were here, you rarely see them out together especially since the articles about his ex and the hospital incident.The party signalled an engagement of one of the elite. Not just any engagement party... Our engagement party. My engagement party. God I was engaged to a fucking doll. An emotionless doll who did whatever her family told her to do.Everywhere I looked, faces beamed with hollow congratulations, the kind of smiles people wore when they were calculating stock prices behind their eyes. A marriage between the Davenports and the Moretti’s was the story of the season, and tonight, we were the specta
