Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Eight

Ever since she was a little girl, Eve has realized that she has a knack for manipulating people.But it was just a game for her before, but now this ability has a life-and-death effect on her.She has been unfairly disinherited from a large fortune by her "conspiratorial" sister and vicious old grandmother.They will pay for what they have done to her, and this vengeance produces an intense pleasure in Eve, almost bordering on orgasm.Their lives are now in her hands. Eve worked out her plan carefully and meticulously, planning every detail.In the opening stages, George Melis was a temporary collaborator who had to participate.

"My Christ, it's too dangerous for me to get involved in it," he cried. "I can get all the money I need." "How do you get it?" Eve asked with contempt. "You always sleep with those fat women with blue hair? You're going to spend the rest of your life like that? But when you get fat and you get wrinkles around your eyes, Who wants you? No, George, you're not going to get another chance like this. If you listen to me, you'll have one of the biggest affiliates in the world. You hear me? Have it." "How do you convince me that this plan will work?"

"Because I'm the world's best expert on my grandmother and my sister. Trust me, it will work." Eve seems confident, but she has reservations.It concerns George Mehlis.She had enough confidence in herself, but she couldn't guarantee that George would play his part well.He is unstable, and the implementation of the plan does not allow any mistakes.One mistake can bring about the failure of the whole plan. She said to him at last: "Make up your mind. Are you going to do it or not?" He looked at her for a long time before saying, "I'll do it." He moved closer to her and stroked her shoulder.He said hoarsely, "I want to fight you to the end."

Eve felt a thrill of sexual desire. "Okay," she whispered, "but do it my way." ※※※ They lie in bed.Naked, he is the most perfect beast Eve has ever seen.At the same time, it is the most dangerous.But that only adds to Eve's excitement.She holds the weapon over him now.She bit his body lightly... He got up from the bed.Anger and frustration made him tremble.Eve was lying on the bed, watching him put on his clothes, a smile crossed his lips: "You are already a good boy, George, it's time for you to be rewarded. I'm going to give Alexandra to you. "

※※※ Overnight, everything changed for Alexandra.Her last day at Berkeley and Matthews turned out to be a winner for her.She has gone from being ignored to a heroine.Word of her mischievous banter spread throughout Madison Avenue. "You're a legend," Vince Barnes said with a laugh. Now, she was one of them. Alexandra loves her job, especially the morning creative sessions.She knew that this was not what she wanted to do in her life, but she didn't know what she wanted to do in the future.She had received nearly a dozen proposals, and she was interested in one or two suitors, but seemed to be short of something.She just hasn't found her soul mate yet.

On Friday morning, Eve called and invited Alexandra to lunch. "A French restaurant just opened," Eve said, "and I hear the food is fantastic." Alexandra was very happy to hear from her sister, who cares for Eve.She called Eve two or three times a week, but Eve either went out or said she was too busy to see her.But now, although Alexandra has a date, she still says: "I'm happy to have dinner with you." ※※※ French restaurants are elegant and expensive, but they are still packed with customers waiting for tables to become available.Eve had reserved a table there under her grandma's name.This made Eve a little annoyed.She thought, wait and see, one day you'll be begging me to come and eat at your shitty restaurant.Eve was already seated when Alexandra arrived.She watched the restaurant manager walk towards Alexandra and had a strange feeling, as if she was watching herself walking towards the table.

Eve greeted her sister with a kiss on the cheek: "You look so beautiful, Alex. The job seems to suit you." They ordered food, and then asked each other about their lives recently. "How's work?" Eve asked. Alexandra told Eve in detail everything that happened at her job, and Eve carefully made some situations to Alexandra.While talking, Eve looked up and saw George Melis standing there looking at the two of them, confused for a moment.God, Eve thought, he can't tell which is me! "George!" she called. He turned around, relieved, "Eve!" Eve said, "It was a surprise." She nodded at Alexandra and said, "I don't think you've met my sister yet. Alex, let me introduce you. This is George Melis. .”

George shook Alexandra's hand and said, "You're so charming." Eve had mentioned that she and her sister were twins, but he didn't expect them to be such a similar pair. Alexandra stared at George, fascinated. Eve said, "Would you like to sit with us?" "I'd love to, but I'm afraid I'll miss the appointment. Maybe, next time." He looked at Alexandra. "I hope soon." They watched him go. "My God!" said Alexandra, "who is he?" "Oh, he's a friend of Nita Ludwig's. I met him at a party at her house last time."

"Am I crazy, or is he really as handsome as I thought he was?" Eve smiled: "He's not my type, but he's attractive to women." "I think so! Is he married?" "No, but it's not because there are no suitors, dear. George is very rich. You can think he has everything. Appearance, money, social background." Speaking of this, Eve cleverly changed the subject. When Eve settled the bill after the meal, the boss told her that Mr. Mellis had paid. ※※※ Alexandra couldn't help herself from thinking about George Melis she had met that day. On Monday afternoon, Eve called Alexandra and said, "Looks like you've hit some good luck, honey. George Meades calls me and asks for your number and I'll let him know, okay?"

Alexandra was surprised to find herself smiling. "If you're sure you're not interested in him—" "I told you, he's not my type." "Then I don't mind giving him my phone number!" They talked casually for a few more minutes before Eve hung up.She puts down the phone.Looking at George lying naked next to him, he said, "The lady said yes." "When will you contact her?" "I will tell you." ※※※ Alexandra tried to forget that George Melis was calling her, but the more she tried to forget George, the more she couldn't forget him.She'd never been so attracted to beautiful men because she thought they were mostly self-centered.But George Melis, Alexandra thought, looked different.There was an irresistibly seductive quality about him.Just touching his hand stirred up a wave of her love.You are crazy.You've only seen that person for two minutes, she said to herself.

For a week, he didn't call, and Alexandra's mood ranged from impatience to frustration to anger.To hell with him, she thought, he must have found another girl, yes! When the phone rang the weekend after they met, Alexandra's anger magically disappeared when she heard his deep, husky voice. "I'm George Mehlis," he said. "You and your sister had a quick meeting over dinner, and Eve said you didn't mind if I called you." "She mentioned that you would call," Alexandra said casually. "By the way, I should thank you for paying for our meal." "You deserve a feast, you deserve a monument to you." Alexandra smiled, enjoying the compliment. "I wonder if you'd like to have dinner with me some night?" "Ah—I—I'd love to, that's great." "Great, if you refuse, I'll kill myself." "Please don't," Alexandra said, "I don't want to eat alone." "Me too. I know there's a little restaurant on Mulberry Street called Marton's. It's pretty obscure, but the food there—" "Marton! I like it so much!" exclaimed Alexandra. "It's my favorite place." "You know Ye's Restaurant?" His tone was a little surprised. "Oh yes." George looked at Eve across the way and smiled.He had to convince and appreciate Eve's cleverness.She gave him a brief account of all Alexandra's likes and dislikes.George knew all the details about Eve's sister. When George finally puts down the phone, Eve thinks: Here's the fun. ※※※ It was the happiest night of Alexandra's life.An hour before George Melis arrived, a dozen pink balloons arrived with an orchid on them.Alexandra was afraid that the imagination would lead her to too much hope, but when she saw George Melis, all doubts were cleared away.She felt his irresistible charm again. They drank some drinks in the house and set off for the restaurant they had agreed upon. "Would you like to see the menu?" George asked, "or should I order for you?" Alexandra has her favorite dish at this restaurant, but she wants to please George: "Why can't you order it?" Everything he ordered was to Alexandra's liking, which gave her an excited feeling, as if he had a soulmate with her. They ate stuffed artichoke heads, homemade veal, and a delicious pasta called angel hair.They also had a salad which George had mixed with great skill on the spot at the table. "Can you cook?" Alexandra asked. "Oh, it's one of my great passions in life. My mother taught me, she's a great cook." "Are you close to family, George?" He smiled, and Alexandra thought it was the most charming smile she had ever seen. "I am Greek," he said succinctly, "I am the eldest of three brothers and two sisters in my family, and we are like one person." A look of sadness flashed in his eyes, "It is my life to leave them. Hardest choice ever forced to make. My father and brothers begged me to stay home, we had a huge property and they felt I was needed there." "Then why don't you stay at home?" "You may think I'm a fool, but I'd rather go my own way. For me, accepting gifts from other people is a very reluctant thing. Our family's inheritance is a gift from my grandfather to my father. And I , I don't want anything from my father. Let my brothers share my share." Alexandra couldn't help but stand in awe. "Besides," added George tenderly, "if I'd stayed in Greece, I'd never have met you!" Alexandra found herself blushing. "You've never been married?" "No, I was engaged," he said earnestly, "but when we were about to get married I felt something was wrong." He leaned forward, his voice full of sincerity, "beautiful Alexandra , you will think that I am very conservative, as long as I get married, I will live with my wife forever, I only need a woman, but she must be the one I like." "I think that's very nice," she whispered. "What about you?" asked George Melis. "Have you ever loved anyone before?" "No." "How unfortunate it is for somebody," he said, "but how lucky it is, because—" At this moment, the waiter brought sweets, and Alexandra really wanted to ask George to go on, but she dared not. Alexandra has never felt so at ease in front of anyone.George Melis seemed to take a real interest in herself, and she could not help telling him about her childhood, her life, and the cherished memories hidden deep within her. George Melis prided himself on his mastery of the art of winning a woman's heart.He knew that beautiful women were often the most insecure, because men were often obsessed with their looks, ignoring their feelings and not treating them as human beings.So when George was with a pretty woman, he never said anything about her looks.He made the woman feel that his interests were her thoughts and feelings, that he was a soul mate with whom she shared her vision, which was indeed an unusual experience for Alexandra.She told George about Kate, about Eve. "Your sister doesn't live with you and grandma?" "Yes. She—Eve wants to live in her own apartment." Alexandra wondered why George Melis was not attracted to her sister.But for whatever reason, Alexandra is grateful for it.During dinner, Alexandra noticed that every woman in the restaurant was aware of George's presence, but he never looked around, never took his eyes off her. Over coffee, George said, "I don't know if you like jazz music, but there's a club called Five Points in St. Mark's Street..." "Ciselle Taylor is playing there!" He looked at Alexandra in surprise, "Have you been there?" "Often!" exclaimed Alexandra. "I like him! I can't believe we have the same interests!" George replied calmly, "It's a miracle." Together they enjoyed Cecil Taylor's mesmerizing piano solos, and the sonic notes echoed through the recital hall as the pianist's smooth arpeggios and glissandoes flew out.From there, they went to a bar on Bleecker Street, where patrons drank, ate popcorn, played darts and listened to beautiful piano music.Alexandra watched George play a game of darts with one of the regulars there, who played well but always lost.George played it very seriously, almost terribly serious.It was just a game, but he played it like life and death, he was a competitive man, Alexandra thought. It was two o'clock when they left the bar.Alexandra felt somewhat melancholy at the swift passing of that night. In the chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce luxury sleeping car that Jocha had hired, George sat beside Alexandra, watching her silently.It's amazing how much the two sisters look alike.I don't know if their bodies are the same.He pictured Alexandra lying on the bed, screaming and writhing in pain. "What are you thinking?" Alexandra asked. In order not to let her see his eyes, he looked away, "You will laugh at me." "No, I won't laugh at you." "If you laugh at me, I don't blame you. I'm afraid I've come to be seen as a dandy. My life, you know—yachting and traveling and parties and all." "Ok……" He stared at Alexandra with his dark eyes: "I think you're the woman who can change this forever." Alexandra felt her heart skip a beat. "I—I really don't know what to say." "Please don't say anything." His lips were so close to hers that Alexandra was ready.However, he did not continue.Don't go one step beyond Lei Chi, Eve had warned, not on the first night, if you do, you'll become one of a long line of Romeos coveting her and her riches.Let her ask first. So George Mehlis just held Alexandra's hand until the car pulled up in front of the Blackwells' flat.George sent Alexandra to the door, and she turned and said, "I can't describe how happy I am tonight." "It really got me hooked tonight." Alexandra's smile can light up the street. "Good night, George," she whispered, and disappeared into the porch. ※※※ Fifteen minutes later, Alexandra's phone rang, "You know what I just did? I called home and told them about the wonderful girl I just spent the night with. Sleep well , lovely Alexandra." He hung up, thinking, when Alexandra and I get married, I'm going to call the family, I'm going to tell them all to fuck you.
