"It will be in one month.""In one month! So soon? Gérard, I don't think that's a good idea, your grandfather won't believe that we fell in love so quickly.""I've already thought about that. I'll tell Grandfather that we decided to keep our relationship a secret because you work in the company and we didn't want any misunderstandings with the administrative staff.""How long are we supposed to have been together?""We'll say we've been dating for six months.""Are you sure your family will believe us?""I've always been very discreet about my personal life, I'm sure Grandfather won't make a big deal out of it.""Alright, then I'll be ready tomorrow at 7 PM.”***Juliette's POV I was very nervous, but at the same time excited.Mr. Simon Durand is known throughout Italy as an extremely intelligent man who managed to create his own film production company; he is a true legend. I really wanted to talk to him in person.It was Saturday, the day was beautiful, and a package arrived from G

"I'm fine, I think I'm just a little tired," I replied with a smile."Well, we'll be at your place soon. By the way, Julie, what happened in the studio...?""Relax, nothing is wrong, we just got carried away in the moment, it won't happen again," I said somewhat uncomfortably."And what if I want it to happen again?""What do you mean?" I looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't answer.We arrived at my place. Gérard parked the car and approached me, his hands cupping my face, one hand taking my chin, pulling me towards him. He was so close to me that I felt a myriad of emotions in my stomach.This man was making me lose control, I felt his breath and all I could think about was kissing him."Julie, it seems like you still don't see my true intentions, I love your innocence.""Gérard, stop this. I don't want you to play with me, I accepted your help for my father, and I know perfectly well the terms of our relationship.""These terms can change if you want them to," he said in a sedu

"There's no doubt that it's Juliette as a child; her gaze is unforgettable, and the girl next to her bears a strong resemblance," I said thoughtfully, analyzing the two girls. "What else did this lady tell you?""She told me that just two weeks later, as usual, she was waiting for Juliette to be brought home so she could take care of her, but she never arrived. She got worried and in the afternoon, she decided to go to their house. When she opened the door, she saw Juliette playing with a little girl about 6 years old. Mrs. Moreau didn't let her in and told her she was busy, then she closed the door.""Could this little girl be the Sophie we know today?""Perhaps. Furthermore, she told me that the next day, she decided to visit them again to make sure they were okay, but they had already moved out, and she never heard from them again.""This story is becoming more and more strange," I muttered, lost in my thoughts.Where did this little girl playing with Juliette come from? Why did th

"Wow, Juliette, I'm surprised you didn't tell me everything from the beginning.""Sorry, my friend, I was really confused," I sighed."I hope you don't get hurt, Juliette.""Calm down, I know very well that this marriage is fake and sooner or later, it has to end, that's why I don't plan on involving my feelings.""I'm here to support you, Juliette, and on that day, I'll be by your side."It was an incredible afternoon. Chloé always knows how to give me courage; now I can move forward with this marriage, but my parents can't.With this marriage, my parents can't find out. I don't want to disappoint them.When I got home, my sister was already there."Until I see you, Sophie, lately you're hardly ever at home.""Sister, I have a wedding to plan. I'm very busy; undoubtedly, it will be a big event. There are a lot of details, you understand too, you're getting married soon.""My wedding will be a bit small, so it's not that complicated to plan," I shrugged."Juliette, tell me something,

"You really don't know?" He smirked cynically."No, please, enlighten me," I said with a forced smile to provoke him.Vincent rolled his eyes and looked at me sharply."Because of your parents, mine are dead. I loved my parents, and because of them, they're no longer with me," he said bitterly."It was an accident, Vincent," I exclaimed incredulously. "You can't blame me for that; I suffered the loss just like everyone else!""That's enough! I can't stand you, Gérard. I was always compared to you; you were always perfect in everything. I was always criticized for not measuring up, but even with all your charms, you couldn't keep Alice by your side!"And he kept going on about Alice. Couldn't he understand that I wasn't interested in her at all?"I know how capable and intelligent you are, Vincent, but you never wanted to do your part," I reproached him. "You chose to follow others' criticisms, so why blame me for your own decisions? It bothers me that you think that way.""Hey...""An
