"What do you mean," Juliet asked with an innocent expression on her face
"Have some food" Maria said and took Juliet to the breakfast table and made her sit.
Maria served her plate with all the exotic fruits which Juliet haven't eaten
"Thankyou" Juliet said and started to eat the breakfast with a void in her heart.
Maria served her like she was her own daughter, Juliet raised her head and look at maria who was already looking at her
Juliet become conscious and Maria noticed all changes in her
"I am so sorry, you are looking just like my daughter" Maria said and tears engulfed her eyes but she wiped it.
"Where is she," Juliet asked unaware that such questions brought pain in Maria's life:
"She died 2 years ago in car accident" Maria said in slow voice and Juliet felt bad
"Don't worry, you can take me as your daughter and i love to be with you since you were there with me when my own husband and his lover insulted me" Juliet said remembering the last night which was nothing less than a horror to her.
"Thankyou Mrs knight," Maria said and Juliet made a thin line with her lips
"Call me Juliet, I would be happy," Juliet said and completed her breakfast and Maria only admired her and look for her daughter in Juliet.
Juliet finished her breakfast and went to her room, she had nothing to do so she spent her time looking outside the window.
Whole day she pent in one position, she didn't have anything after breakfast and when Maria told her to eat something she denied saying she was not in a mood.
Juliet didn't want to go out of her room because she was afraid that she might disturb the privacy of Xavier.
Juliet looked at the moon which had a dark spot in the middle. Life had taken a drastic turn for her and she didn't know what to do when suddenly a name flashed in her mind and a smile curved her lips.
Juliet want to share her pain and she found the right person and the first thing in the morning she would meet that special person.
*********************
Xavier worked late night in his office because he didn't want to see the face of Juliet who was nothing but a cunning woman in his eyes.
Xavier remebered that juliet was indeed looking very beautiful in a wedding dress but he knew that juliet was not innocent liks she pretended
He got startled by the ringing of his phone, he picked up his call when the name Kathy flashed on the screen
"Yes, baby," Xavier said answering the call
"Xavier baby, i can't come home today because i have a late-night shoot," Kathy said and her voice full of exhaustion.
Xavier internally cursed because now he had to stay alone with Juliet in the mansion.
"Tell me the name of your boss, I will handle him," Xavier said in authoritative voice.
Xavier ran a lot of modelling companies under his name and he was among the top billionaire so he had lot of powers and influence and nobody could dare to defy him or offend him in any manner.
"Thank you Xavier and do you know we can solve this problem of my late coming," Kathy said over the call and some scheming to was going on in her mind.
Kathu always uses the powers of Xavier to succeed in her career and everyone in the modelling agencies knew that Kathy was something special to Xavier but what relation they actually share no one knows about.
"If you take me under your agency then you are my boss and i don't have to listen to some stupid people," Kathy said in innocent voice but she tried her luck to push Xavier
Xavier took a deep sigh because he had discussed this matter lot of times with Kathy but still she never forget to push his nerves
"You are still not experienced and you need to do more hard work, my agencies are known for best models so prepare yourself more and i promise that my next model will be you," Xavier said with dedication.
Xavier was not a man who would compromise his work with the influence of women.
Xavier was a cruel businessman and he would not let anyone come in his way and this was the reason that he married Juliet who he hated the most.
On the other side of the call, Kathy foot her foot down in anger, she tried lot of times to convince Xavier to let her become model in his company but Xavier never listened to her.
Kathy was a smart woman she gulped her anger because she couldn't afford to offend Xavier in any manner. She had to pretend to be an innocent girl in front of Xavier
"I can understand Xavier but I promise that i will work hard and then i will join your company as your model," Kathy said in sweet voice over the call but inside she was burning in anger.
Kathy hated when Xavier ignore her like this but she didn't have any other option rather than being in good books of Xavier.
"I am busy, call you later," Xavier said and cut the call and massage his head, today was really hectic for him.
Xavier had no mood of going home tonight so he busy himself in work until there was a knock in his door
"Come in," Xavier said in authoritative tone and then he raise his head to look at the person who just entered.
"What a surprise" Xavier said to his friend, James who was looking at him with straight face without any expression.
Xavier smiled seeing his best friend in front of him but Xavier was confused about what James did in his office this late.
"What a surprise" Xavier said in happy voice but he was confused too because James was standing like he had lot of complaints in his mind.
