KATEI shrugged at the plan that Lucien told me but then again it was the only way to deceive my brother and make sure that I take what's rightfully mine. I should take what should have been mine a long time ago.I was so happy when dad finally threatened him with his position but that couldn't guarantee if I would take it because I knew how smart marco was abd just how quickly he could solve any problem so the best thing I could do was to obstruct him from dealing with this one to be able to convince my dad.I was going to be meeting with Lucien today at the hiding spot that I had prepared for him. I was the one who helped him escape after negotiating with some of Marco's men even though I knew Marco would find out about them soon enough but they weren't any of my problems.The only thing I had in mind was how I was going to be able to use Lucien to my advantage. He was my core target right now to get what I want because it wasn't easy to get Marco ti where he is right now so I had t

CHAPTER 54MIAThese were the kind of days that were awkwardly silent and I could just feel the grief in my heart. Notwithstanding the fact that it was not my problem but I just couldn't help but feel bad.Ever Since our sex in the study, I haven't even seen a glimpse of Marco. It was as if he got more and more busier and also more secluded to himself. It's not like he's always had time but this time around, I could sense that there was a lot more going on with him.I would see him on normal days in his study working his ass out or just randomly cursing at someone who I supposed to be Lucas or one of his men. He seemed more stressed out than usual and I couldn't help but just feel for him.I so much wanted to comfort him and try to make him feel better but at the same time I knew that I couldn't be of much help. I just wanted to try to take away his troubles even though that seemed almost impossible on my path but I just so wanted too.Taking all the thoughts out of mind. I decided th

MIAIt was still so surreal and kind of hard to believe that I would be going out with Marco. I didn't know whether to call it a date considering the fact that he's not like any type of romantic guys I know plus he's just taking me out to places I don't even know.I kept pondering over what to wear because it felt as though I had no outfit in my closet. I just wanted to look my best especially knowing the fact that Marco is an important figure to the society and I wouldn't want to taint his image.My clothes didn't feel too suitable for the outing even though it could just be a restaurant that we were going to. But what if it was a fancy restaurant and I'm dressed too casual?.I couldn't take any chances especially the fact that this would be my first outing with a guy especially with w gut like Marco. I decided to call who I knew could help with the fashion emergency.Nelly appeared in my room within a short period of time with a kind of worried look on her face. " What's up Mia? I h

MIA" Isabella?" He called with shock clearly written on his face. I didn't understand what was going on here but the next thing I saw was a smirk plastered on her face.She didn't look shocked or surprised to see Marco, rather it was more as if she was expecting to see him and he was unaware that he would meet her." Long time no see Marco," she said. I didn't feel as though that greeting was sincere and the tension between us three was rising but I only had questions in my mind and what all this was about." What…what are you doing here and why are you with Mia?" He asked, furious that we were together.She came close to me and wrapped her hand around my shoulder but all I did was stiffen by her touch and couldn't even move, it was as if I got frozen. " Mia and I are just having a little girl chat," she told me. " Isn't that right Mia."I didn't know why she was pinning this on me because now he was only going to be more furious and I couldn't deal with Marco whenever he was furio

MIA*THREE DAYS LATER*"That meal was so delicious, I really enjoyed it, you're such a good chef," Alina complimented Nelly. I couldn't believe just how well we've bonded in the past three days despite the fact that she was rich.It's not like that was going to change anything but I always imagined rich ladies to be so sophisticated and rude but she is literally the opposite of my imagination and frankly I'm excited to have her with me." That's just a little," I jumped in the conversation. " You should also try some of her signature dishes, you're going to love it Alina and since you'd be here for a while I'm sure you will get to taste it."I smiled at her but all of a sudden her smile disappeared. I didn't understand what was happening because for a minute there she was so happy and now she's just quiet and looked a little zoned out." Alina, Alina," I called, getting her back into reality. " Is everything ok? You were gone for a while there," I said but she covered it up with a smi
