You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn Third time fate played
The footsteps stopped a few feet behind her.Genevieve’s fingers tightened around the sleeve of her coat. She didn’t dare assume who stood behind her. Yet somehow… she already knew. Slowly, she looked over her shoulder. Her breath caught.Desmond.He stood a short distance away, dressed in a charcoal overcoat over a black shirt, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held a bouquet of fresh white lilies. The morning breeze stirred his dark hair, and for a fleeting moment, neither of them moved. Neither of them spoke. Time seemed to stand still as they simply stared at one another.Genevieve had imagined this moment countless times over the past few weeks. The hospital. The club. Twice fate had placed them within arm’s reach, yet somehow they had never exchanged a single word. Sometimes she imagined telling him everything — telling him the truth and wondering if, after hearing it, he would still choose her. Then she would remember the woman he had brought into their home.

Victoria drew a slow breath before tearing her eyes away from the studio.“Come on,” she said quietly. “You have another meeting in fifteen minutes.”Alain gave one last glance toward the set before following beside her. Neither of them spoke at first. The hallway was lined with framed campaign photographs from previous Sterling Couture collections. Every image told the story of a different season, a different face, a different chapter in the company’s history. Their footsteps echoed softly against the marble floor.It was Victoria who finally broke the silence. Just outside Alain’s office, she stopped.“There was something else.”Alain looked at her expectantly. He waited and slipped his hands into his trouser pockets.“My mother called this morning.”He waited.“They think it’s time. They want us to announce our marriage during the Sterling Legacy Gala.”Alain’s expression remained unreadable. Victoria searched his face for a reaction. She found none.“The press will already be ther

“I’m still against it.”The objection cut through the boardroom, drawing every pair of eyes toward the speaker.The lights had been dimmed so the large projector at the front of the room could take center stage. Across the screen were a series of professionally edited campaign photographs — elegant, effortless, and captivating.Every image featured the same woman.Genevieve Vaughn.Or rather… Genevieve.Her last name had quietly been removed from every presentation draft.At the head of the long conference table, Alain sat with one hand resting lightly on the arm of his chair. His expression was unreadable as the executives around him debated the company’s newest decision.“Our brand represents sophistication,” the Director of Public Relations began. “Luxury customers are extremely particular about image. Genevieve’s divorce has been on every major news outlet for weeks. Whether we like it or not, people associate her with scandal.”Several heads nodded in agreement.Another executiv

The study door closed softly behind them.Olive remained standing near the entrance as Isabella turned to meet her eyes.“Do you know why I asked you to come here?”Olive shook her head.“No.”“Hm.”Isabella’s gaze lingered on her for a moment before she made her way back to the desk and sat down.“Come. Sit.”Olive obeyed without a word. Isabella opened one of the drawers and withdrew a familiar brown envelope. Without saying anything, she slid it across the polished surface of the desk.“Open it.”Olive picked it up, wondering what it contained. She carefully pulled out the documents inside. Confusion crossed her face. Divorce papers. Then she saw Genevieve’s name… along with her signature.“You disappoint me.”The words were spoken so calmly they carried far more weight than if Isabella had shouted.“My son was supposed to sign those papers. You were brought into this family to make him forget Genevieve.” She glanced at the envelope resting in Olive’s hands. “Instead… nothing has c

The interview panel immediately rose to their feet.“Mrs. Sterling.”She acknowledged them with a small nod before her eyes briefly settled on Genevieve. Recognition flickered between them. Victoria smiled politely.“If you don’t mind, I’d like to continue the interview from here.”“Of course,” Thomas replied as he slid Genevieve’s résumé toward her.Victoria took her seat and quietly read through the file for several moments before looking up.“Mrs. Vaughn…” She folded her hands neatly together. “Why Sterling Group?”Genevieve met her gaze without hesitation. She needed to stay composed.“Because Sterling Group has built something people trust. It isn’t just known for fashion. It’s known for consistency, quality, and the people who represent it.” A faint smile touched her lips. “I’d like to contribute to that.”Victoria nodded once.“A fair answer.”She turned another page before asking her next question.“Sterling Group has a strict policy against favoritism.” She let the words sett

Isabella sat alone in her office, but the stack of documents spread neatly across her desk remained untouched. She couldn’t focus. Her thoughts kept drifting back to Olive — more specifically, to the threat Olive had made.If you tell Desmond the truth about Clara… I’ll tell him yours.The words echoed relentlessly inside her head. She slowly leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping against the polished wood of her desk. For decades, she had protected that secret while carefully preserving the flawless image of the Vaughn family. Every sacrifice she had made, every lie she had told, and every decision she had taken had been for one purpose—to protect both of her sons from the kind of miserable life she had endured. She wanted them admired, respected, and untouchable in the eyes of the world. She wasn't about to let a cheap girl like Olive destroy everything she had spent a lifetime building.Her thoughts drifted back to the day she had first met Olive at the hospital, moments bef
