Milady Chapter 23: Talk Show!
Damien Yves Etienne’s POVIn the colossal main building of the Etienne organization, lies my office on the top floor. “Luca,” I called out to him from the inside, whilst sitting on my swivel chair. My legs were placed on top of the table, where a pile of documents lays. “You called for me, sir?” He asked, going inside the room. My right fist was on my right cheek when I replied with, “Yeah. Earlier, you told me that Charlotte has a nice bond with her mom—who is going to be the host on the talk show today. But for some reason, I feel strangely worried.” “Oh right. I heard that Mrs. Hayes has a partner in today’s talk show,” Luca said, widening his eyes as if he just remembered that just now.“A partner? Who could that be?” I asked, sitting properly, as I raised one of my eyebrows. “That, I don’t know. I didn’t dig that much deeper information. Would you like me to? But if I were to do as such, it would be too late now; so why don’t you just watch the talk show if you’re so worried?” Lu
Milady Chapter 24: Mutual
Jake Hayes’ POV“Well, if you pay more heed to what you said, you’ll realize that your words were wrong. But did you?” Charlotte Hayes said—it’s been a while since we last met, but it appears as she’s been having fun without me. At the very beginning, you kneeled down to the ground, pleading your loyalty towards me like a dog, but considering how you didn’t even show up your face at home, it seems to me that you have lost your mind during your time with that b*stard.Thanks to him, the film’s crew started gossiping behind my back, spreading how I lost it during the shoot. Some stories were even exaggerated such as me hitting the director and stuff. But I couldn’t let it pass that way. Thanks to her mother’s foolish decision to invite me on this talk show, I am now given a chance to talk to you and humiliate you in front of millions of people. But then… Charlotte looks at me with a malicious grin, as she waits upon my response. I irked, and I could barely stop myself from pulling her h
Milady Chapter 25: Ophelia's smile
Damien Yves Etienne’s POVThe live show has ended in Charlotte’s favor. I was smiling as I watched the live stream end. I stretched my arms, groaning. “It seems like you didn’t need to worry after all, sir,” Luca said with a sigh. I smiled at him, and went towards him with my hands in my pockets. “It seems that you’re right,” I patted his shoulder and whispered, “Although I feel sorry for being unable to control my emotions earlier… I assume that you would take this as a lesson?” Luca gulped in fear of my gaze.“Yes sir..” he mumbled. I smiled at him, and went to open the door on my own. “Now, shall we pick up my princess?” I giggled as I walked out of my office. I went to the building to pick up Charlotte. The moment we got there, she was talking with her mother with a bright smile on her face. “She must have missed her,” I mumbled. We were a distance away from them, yet I could still hear Charlotte’s laughter that brightened the room and my day. “I’m astounded; they have rather simi
Milady Chapter 26: The real one
Charlotte Hayes’ POV"D-Damien, this is not the time to be h*rny!" I yelled, pushing Damien away with all of my strength. “Ah! I’m sorry,” I said as I went closer to him, “Did that hurt?” All of the sudden, Damien grabs my arm, pulling me to his embrace. “It seems like my baby started to rebel against me. I’m guessing it's time for me to buy my kitten a collar, no?” He asked with a grin. I was extremely flustered at this point. “Geez!” I exclaimed, covering my face with both of my palms, expressing embarrassment. Damien started to sniff my neck, as he continued to pull me closer towards the rough, bulky surface of his body. “Hnng… Damien—""Didn’t I tell you to call me using nicknames?” He asked with a glare, as he continued to savor my soft pale skin. “D-Daddy!” I called out to him, gasping for air. The room was hot and suffocating, and Damien’s breath against my neck is the only thing that’s cooling my body. Damien grins, “Yes, princess?” He asked with a tempting look. “C-Can we co
Milady Chapter 27: One of a kind
Damien Yves Étienne's POVA small noise once I opened the door, the lights turning on after I turned the light switch; I was back at home. In a gentle manner, I took my long coat off, and placed it on the chair. "Hah.." I brushed my hair with my left hand, as I went towards the couch to lay down."A night without my princess… what a nightmare," I mumbled. The living room had a dim light that was warm to the eyes. On my hand, I had my phone, where I was glancing at, in hope that she would message me. I look like a pitiful puppy at this point.All of the sudden, my phone brightened, indicating a message. I hurriedly checked my phone, only to see… my father messaging me. "She's coming back," I read out the message he sent. I raised one of my eyebrows and tapped a contact's number to call.For a few seconds, it was left ringing, till it finally ended when they accepted the call. "I heard from my father that the venom is coming back. Is it true?" I asked. A chuckle went out from the call.
Milady Chapter 28: Phone call
Charlotte Hayes'"Is that so?" My mother said, looking at me with eyes filled with no emotions. My small heart was beating fast, as if I'm being chased by a beast. There was silence in the air, not until it was broken down the moment my mother yawned. Ophelia stretched her arms, and said in a sleepy voice, "Anyway! Let's leave the matter for another day. I'm quite tired."I nodded, and said as I scratched the back of my neck, "Okay mom. Good night…" My mother went towards the guest room, and before she could close the door shut, she bid me, "sweet dreams," with that innocent smile of hers.I immediately went to another separate room, and locked the doors shut. "I can't guarantee my safety even in my house.. gees.. the only place where safety is within is.. when he's there." All of the sudden, my face blushes red. I was embarrassed now that he's in my mind."I can't believe this.. what exactly have I said?" I slapped my cheeks. Now that he's on my mind, it's hard to get him out of it.
Milady Chapter 29: Mother knows!
Charlotte Hayes' POVJake and I shared eye contact—one very awkward, that holds quite the pressure. I looked at him with eyes of mockery, and he looked back at me with irritated eyes. It seems like he couldn't hold a glare very well.After a few seconds, I looked away; since the sight of his eyes disgusts me. I could sense that mother was looking at us, but it's fine. She would probably think of it as a lovers quarrel or whatever it may be. "Oh dear, I'm interested. Who might be that certain someone?" Mother holds a grin. I took a bite of the soft tender meat that was on my plate, and after chewing its delightful piece, I gobbled it straight down to my throat. I drank a glass of water in a rush, and replied, "Secret."Mother giggles upon hearing my response. I guess hearing my response made her even more interested to know more; but I doubt that she doesn't have someone in mind. After a while of chatting, my mother and I were shocked to hear the doorbell ring."Well, were you guys ex

But truly.. no one has ever wondered why such a queen would be a narcissist, and obsessed with fame, except for my lovely daughter."Mommy, why do you like attention so much?" A cute, little 7 year old Charlotte Maine asked. We were currently in my room, about to go to bed when my darling suddenly asked me that question.My eyes widened, and I was in awe of her inquiry. I chuckled and replied with a smile on my face, "Darling.. Mommy craves attention because she lacked attention in the first place."I looked at the floor, and started to reminisce about those old times when I was just a child, when I was still residing at my parents' abode."My father was a drunkard that always fought with my mother.. and my mother was obsessed with gambling so much that we had a lot of debt piled up. They didn't love ea
