Mia, returned home with a strange sense of satisfaction. For years, she had allowed people to make her feel small because of how poor they thought she was. She had stayed quiet, worked hard and allowed people to believe whatever they wanted. She was done with that. No one would trample over her again. The next morning, Martin demanded a family breakfast. Everyone arrived with questions. Once they were seated and had greeted him, Martin looked around the table. “You should all prepare.” A pause followed. “We’ll be meeting the Brooks tomorrow evening .” Silence filled the room. Mia looked up. The Brooks. She had almost forgotten that she had a marriage alliance to complete. The rest of breakfast passed quietly. — By the time Mia arrived at Scott Group, she was already thinking about the mountain of work waiting for her. Then she noticed a familiar car parked outside the building. Noah’s. She stared at it for a moment. It couldn’t be. Perhaps it belonged to someone e

“Mia, you look beautiful.” “Thank you, ma’am. You look astonishing as well.” Mrs. Brooks smiled. Throughout the exchange, Ethan hadn’t looked at Mia once. Not even briefly. A few moments later, the doors opened. Mr. Brooks entered. “Good evening, Mr. Brooks.” Mia and Mason stood together. He smiled and walked towards Mr. Scott, shaking his hand warmly before extending one to Mrs. Scott. “You are all welcome.” He took his seat. For a moment, everything seemed perfectly cordial. Then Mr. Brooks looked across the room. His gaze settled on Mia. A faint smile appeared on his face. “So, this is the young lady we’ve been hearing so much about.” Mia maintained her polite smile. “Oh well, let’s have dinner first,” Mr. Brooks said. They proceeded to the dining room. The dining table stretched across almost the entire room, its golden finish reflecting the warm chandelier light above. The room itself was nearly as vast as a ballroom, with elegant walls, tall windows and elabo

By the time Mia finished, Lily was staring at her as though she had just revealed the biggest secret in the world.“You… you’re marrying Ethan Brooks?”Mia nodded.“Like the Ethan Brooks?”“Yes, Lily.”“For real?”“Yes.”Lily shot to her feet.“Oh my God!”She began fanning herself dramatically with one hand.“Mia, I need air.”Mia laughed despite herself.“Sit down.”Lily dropped back into the chair, but the excitement quickly faded as she remembered the rest of the story.“Wait.”She leaned forward.“Have you asked Ethan who this Zina is to him?”“Yes. He said she’s Mrs. Brooks’ best friend’s daughter.”“Her surname?”“Hart.”Lily’s expression changed.“The Harts?”Mia nodded.“They’re rich too. Powerful family.”She rubbed her chin thoughtfully.“But what exactly is her business in all this?”Mia leaned back in her chair.“What if she likes Ethan?”Lily’s eyes widened.“Then why hasn’t she made a move all these years?”Mia didn’t answer.That was exactly what she couldn’t understan

Mia glanced at her wristwatch and realized it was almost time for the meeting. She quickly gathered her things and left her office.The restaurant was only a few minutes from Scott Group. It was cozy and tastefully decorated, with warm lighting, elegant wooden tables, and large windows overlooking the busy street outside.When Mia walked in, she immediately spotted Zina.Zina looked more stylish than ever, dressed effortlessly in a way that made it obvious she knew exactly what suited her. Mia took a brief moment to appreciate the restaurant’s atmosphere before walking over.Zina was already eating.“Hey. You look good.”“Thank you.”Mia took her seat.“What do you care for?”“I’ll just have a Caesar salad.”Zina nodded and signaled to the waiter.For a while, neither of them mentioned Ethan.They ate and talked about random things, keeping the conversation light. Zina spoke easily, laughing occasionally, while Mia listened more than she contributed.The moment they finished eating, M

What happened?” Mia asked quietly as she moved closer. “Nothing, dear,” Mrs. Scott replied almost immediately, forcing a smile. Mia studied her for a moment. She knew something was wrong, but she decided not to push. “Let’s go inside.” “Okay, Mom.” They had barely reached the door when Mia’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw Zina’s name. “Let me quickly take this,” she said, stepping back. “Hello?” “Hey, Mia. How are you doing?” “I’m fine.” “I just called to check on you and ask if you’ve made your decision.” “Yes I have .” There was a brief silence. “I know you will make the right decision.” “Thank you. I’m sure Ethan will invite you to our wedding.” “What? You’re going through with this?” “Yes.” “Why? Are you sure?” “I’m sure.” “But after everything I told you…” “I appreciate your concern, Zina. I’ve made up my mind.” There was a brief silence. “I just hope you know what you’re doing.” The call ended. Mia slipped her phone back into he
