Chapter FourEmilia’s POVThe morning light filtered softly through the heavy drapes, casting a golden glow across the spacious room. I blinked, momentarily disoriented, before I remembered where I was: Lucas’s penthouse, a place so luxurious it felt surreal. Sitting up, I took in the details of the room, each one more exquisite than the last. The events of last night drifted back to me, especially Lucas’s cryptic words about today. A part of me wanted to slip away and avoid whatever he had in mind, but I knew that wasn’t an option.A gentle knock sounded on the door. “Miss Emilia?” Jesse’s polite voice drifted through.“Yes, come in,” I called, pulling myself together.Jesse entered, carrying a tray with breakfast—freshly cut fruit, pastries, and coffee—and a carefully selected outfit, much nicer than anything I owned. I could tell Lucas had planned for every detail, right down to the delicate jewelry laid out beside the clothing.“Good morning,” I greeted her, smiling despite the un

Chapter ThreeEmilia povIsabella! That name kept ringing in my ears, what she said about her and Lucas, she called me a toy. The ride to Lucas' penthouse was calm and quiet as we did not talk much with each other. I kept my eyes facing the window as I watched the car go by. We arrived in the most expensive neighborhood in the city where the rent cost an arm and a leg to get.As we slowly rode into the apartment complex, I was in awe of the design. This was twice the size of my own apartment. The car stopped, and I could see the large amount of guards that were all around.The car door was opened by the security team and I got down from the car still looking around. Lucas got down from the car also and walked into the apartment.“Welcome back” a young man greeted but Lucas did not respond as he walked past him. “Rude!” I said to myself, giving the guy an awkward smile, I quickly followed Lucas into the elevator that took us up to the penthouse. When we got to the house I was awest

Chapter TwoEmilia povI gathered my stuff with the speed of light and dashed out of the office. It was a very crazy experience to be in the same room with Lucas—-the Lucas.I didn't even know what to say as I walked down to the bus stop in fear. Looking behind me to see if I was being followed. I clutched my bag to my chest as I wanted everything to just be a dream.What was my boss thinking, working with illegal accounts? As I waited in the cold lonely bus stop with no sign of the bus coming anytime soon. A car stopped in front of me, my heart paced, I tried to move but I was deeply rooted to my spot. The window rolled down slowly and the person whose face I saw was the one I was trying to run from——Lucas.“Get in!” I heard his cold voice and my feet moved by itself without any form of hesitation whatsoever.I got into the car and kept my distance, trying not to anger the god of the streets. The car zoomed off, leaving me wondering if I was being kidnapped. I began to pray silently

Chapter One: Emilia’s PovI have always prided myself on my ability to blend in. My job as an accountant at Marsh & Carter required little more than quiet efficiency—qualities that came naturally to me. Most days, I kept my head down, my eyes on the endless stream of numbers and files that crossed my desk. It was a life of comfort, a life that I felt safe in. No risks, no complications. Just order and routine.But all of that changed the night Luca Moretti walked into my world.The day had started like any other, I was going through a pile of invoices, barely glancing at the clock. But just as I was about to clock out, my boss, Mr. Jenson, had called me into his office. He was a stern man with a permanent frown etched into his face, though I rarely interacted with him. Seeing him look uncharacteristically tense had set my nerves on edge.“Miss Rossi,” he’d said, his voice stiff, “I’ll need you to go over a few additional accounts. A special request from a… valuable client. Just get i
