Not once had Camille ever felt like she'd underestimated Mirena.The fancy dresses, cars and appearances after being kicked out of the sterling family had bothered her, but not to an extreme extent.After all, she didn't have a man like George, and a reputation like hers. Soon enough, those old men she wriggled into bed with, were going to get tired of her and everything was going to burn.… At least, that was the thought she entertained prior to seeing Mirena step out from Alexander Pierce’s luxury car, clad in a red dress that looked a thousand times more better and expensive than hers, and hanging off his arm like she belonged there.Her chest tightened, not with discomfort, but with the kind of envy she tried to convince herself she didn't feel.Yet, it was there, eating away at her chest and making her hold on George's arm tighten unconscious.“... Mirena,” her name slipped past Camille’s lips before she could stop it and her expression darkened.For a moment, she lost all sense

Within the quiet walls of the men's restroom, Ryan’s grunt bounced off the walls and empty stalls as he doubled over as Alexander’s fist drove into his midsection for the fourth time.Pain exploded through him, stealing his breath for a second as he crouched, grabbing his mid section like doing so would magically make the pain fade away.“How many now?” Alexander asked, his tone was even and controlled, like he wasn’t doing anything unusual at all.His eyes were vacant and unforgiving. When Ryan looked up, locking gaze with them briefly, he gave up on the begging that sat briefly on his tongue.“Four,” he croaked, coughing. “Isn’t that… isn't that punishment enough?” he asked, meeting Alexander’s gaze again.Instead of sympathy, Alexander looked irritated by his question. The corner of his eyes twitched. “What did I tell you?”Ryan took a second to think. Then, tentative, he asked. “That you’d kill me if Mirena ever finds out?”Alexander sent him a look that made it known that he'd sm

For a second, every single thing in the room, the music and the chatter of voices dulled into muffled background noises as her eyes locked onto the screen.On it, a nude image of her being displayed for the largest population of New York to see.That image, she recognized it very clearly. It had been taken on the night of her second year wedding anniversary with George. It was the first time in her whole time of meeting him he'd shown interest in her—dressed in nothing but a revealing red lace nightgown.She'd felt deceived then, thought for once in their entire marriage, he'd looked at her with a different type of gaze, but after that night, he'd gone back to being him—cold, distant, unloving and calling Camille's name on the days he had drunk sex with her.She'd forgotten about those pictures, no, she'd trusted him then. Not to backstab her and send her nude photos surfacing like some only fan's chick doing shit for attention, but because she thought he was a half decent human being

Kelvin left after showing Mirena and Ada to the room he'd arranged.On the plush sofa at the center of the room, Mirena dropped down, sighing as she flexed her ankles.Never could she get used to the feeling of wearing unbelievably high heels.But, it is what it is?“You okay?” Ada asked for the hundredth time, dropping down beside her and staring with eyes that literally screamed worry.Mirena smiled gently and gave her hand resting between them on the chair, a gentle pat.“I'm fine Ada,” she said. However, the Campbell didn't look convinced. If anything, she doubted Mirena's words even more.After all, after what just happened up there, there was no way one could be totally okay, right?“Really Ada,” Mirena told her. “I'm fine.”“But that bastard…” she groaned, clenching her fist. “I should have slapped him, or kicked his generation. Or,” she paused and suddenly turned to Mirena with all seriousness. “Should I have Alistair handle him?”Handle, as in, get rid of him.A tempting offe

Mirena froze and her grip tightened around the stem of her glass the moment those words left Alexander’s lips.He knew.Of course he knew.She turned slowly, schooling her expression. “Are you stalking me now?” She asked tauntingly.Before Alexander could answer, a voice interrupted.“Mr. Pierce.”They both turned to see a man approaching, wearing a shit eating grin. He stopped by their table and extended his hand.“Daniel White. CEO of White Enterprise.”Alexander glanced down at the extended hand—unimpressed—then at the man.“How can I help you, Mr. White?” He asked flatly.“I’ve been following Nexus Investments closely,” Daniel began. “And I've taken note of your rising interest in rising start-ups. In fact, it aligns perfectly with our recent acquisition, Fixtech. I’d love to discuss a potential partnership if you're open.”He explained and seconds later, Mirena chuckled softly.The action caught Daniel’s attention and his gaze flicked to her. He gave her a once over—looking her o
