"Learn to mind your business, Bianca. That way, you can live longer and not age so fast as you are doing right now." Dominic was quick to speak up "And as for who she is..." He gestured for Melina to sit back down. "You will find out who she is before this stupid party runs out. But before then, watch that fucking mouth of yours before I render you dumb for the rest of your miserable life" A deadly scowl was shot at Bianca who snorted and walked away with a hiss.Glancing at Melina once again "Are you ok?" He asked and she nodded. "Sit down then. There's still a of them coming. Try not to let any of them talk down on you""Ok" Melina mumbled and they both sat down. Just like Dominic said, the Hartless household came trooping in, each with his or her own family and some other distant family members. There were a lot of them.Lastly, Alexander walked in with a glamorous and pretty young woman. The moment Dominic's eyes landed on them, they darkened. Alexander was holding the woman's wai

"Cherry Blossom" Dominic called with a broad smile, reaching out his hand to Melina who gaped at him in shock. "Let's go" Melina didn't move an inch for some time. She was still trying to process what Dominic called her in front of everyone. But then a realization drew to her. He was just putting on an act. That was the deal between them before they came to this party. All she has to do is act along. Immediately, she placed her hand on Dominic's and forced a smile up her lips.Everyone watched in shock as Dominic led Melina up the stage. To their even greater shock, Dominic circled his arms around her waist, nudged her to himself, and claimed her lips in a kiss. The glass of wine Charlotte was holding slipped and went shattering to the floor, turning Arman's attention to her. His eyes widened when he saw blood running down her palm."Princess, are you ok? You're hurt!" Charlotte's whole gaze was transfixed on the couples on the stage, devouring each other's lips in a gentle kiss. H

Finally, the car drove Melina and Dominic back home. It turned after he argued with Alexander, Dominic told old man Kennedy that they were leaving. The old man didn't object and even gave his blessings to the two of them.Melina was exhausted from all the drama she encountered in just one night. "Mr. Hartless, did I put on a good show?" She asked once again. This time around Dominic smirked in satisfaction."You did a great job, Melina. And that was one convincing lie you told back there. How do you want me to reward you for it?" Dominic was still speaking when he felt someone's head on his shoulder. The woman he was talking to already slept off. That was how tired she was.Dominic let out a scoff. "Silly, who told you to sleep off while I was still talking?"The car pulled over and Dominic stepped out, carrying the sleeping woman in his arms. The guards who saw him quickly rushed to him. "Welcome, Boss. What happened to Ma'am, is she ok? Should we help you carry her?"Dominic only sh

Melina was in her office when she was informed by Shirley "Ma'am, someone is here to see you.""Who? I don't remember having any appointment with anyone""Do I need an appointment before I can see you? And who exactly do you think you are, Melina?" A feminine voice demanded and Melina immediately glanced up only to see a slightly familiar woman standing at the door. It was Charlotte!Shirley's eyes widened immediately "I didn't let her in, Ma'am, I swear, I told her to wait...""It's ok, Shirley. You can leave. I will take it from here" Melina stood up. Shirley bowed and exited the office leaving the two women to themselves. Melina stared at the woman before her with a slight grimace. She could remember seeing this face somewhere...But where?"You can come...""Do you think I need your permission to do that?" Charlotte didn't let her finish and walked up to her desk. Without Melina telling her to sit, she grabbed a seat and placed her handbag on the table. Melina ignored that and sat

Dominic made his way back to his office. He just finished securing a deal with a new client. Almost then his phone rang. It was Ethan. "Why are you calling me instead of coming to my office?" "Boss, we have a problem. A very huge problem"Dominic frowned "What happened?""Check your phone, Boss, like right now" Ethan quickly ended the call. Dominic unlocked his phone and the first thing that popped up was the latest news feed."THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT MR. HARTLESS MARRIAGE. MR. HARTLESS TRAPPED IN A LOVELESS MARRIAGE WITH A LOWLIFE."By the time Dominic was done going through the post, his eyes widened in shock. "Who the fuck wrote this?!" "I knew their marriage was fake from day one otherwise why would Mr. Hartless marry such an irrelevant person?""Finally, what I've been wanting to hear! Everything is starting to make sense now.""Thank goodness their marriage is fake. I was wondering how Mr. Hartless will spend the rest of his life with such a worthless woman.""Disgusting! Of
