“Lust clouds the mind.”
“I just can’t see what he finds so appealing in that woman—she’s all simplicity and no substance.”
Danielle lowered her gaze and offered a faint, almost amused smile. This was something she’d long since come to terms with, long since seen through.
“Every man has that one woman he can never forget,” she murmured. “For him, it’s just the childhood sweetheart—someone irreplaceable, someone who’s been there all along.”
A friend from way back, the girl who grew up with him. Who can ever truly let go of that?
Where a man’s heart lies, so does his loyalty.
As Danielle spoke quietly with Gian, neither of them noticed when Millie appeared. Without a word, she slid into the seat beside Danielle.
“Aren’t you curious?” Millie’s voice was cool and measured, her lips twisting into a smug little smile. “Just how far he’d go for me?”
Now that he was President Davidson, untouchable at the top, she’d come here just to put Danielle in her place.
Danielle glanced over at her, eyebrow arched, tone flat. “Your urge to brag is really something. What’s next, you going to give me a play-by-play of your time in bed with him?”
Some people, Danielle thought, love to flaunt precisely what they lack.
Millie’s eyes narrowed, her hand curling into a tight fist. She forced a smirk. “Doesn’t bother you at all, huh?”
“He’s the man you spent years chasing, isn’t he? But now he wants me. I’m the answer he’s been searching for.”
“You’ve been by his side all these years, but you’ll never measure up. Even with everything you’ve achieved, with all your status and power, you’ll never have his heart.”
Danielle’s reply was icy. “Dignity and self-respect aren’t things you can buy with status or title. If he cares for you so much, why does he let you go begging for partnerships all over town?”
Millie bristled at that, her bravado cracking for a moment. Still, she clung to her pride, convinced Danielle was just jealous of what she could never have—something Millie had claimed effortlessly.

Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
