Chapter: How Awkward can a person be?Chapter 11 C É C I L E G A R N I E R6: 30 am. my alarm shrieked for the third time but I hit the snooze, craving a few moments of escape. The birds outside my window chirped melodies. If only I could be free as they are. I envied their carefree existence. What do they know about worry and stress? I feel less motivated today.My thoughts drifted to Luca . this is my third day of mannerisms lessons with Madame Dupont, my coach and Maria since my arrival at the ville. And I’d yet to meet Luca. My supposed host. The silence was deafening. Madame DuPont’s Mannerism lessons weighed heavily on my mind. Sophie’s poise, grace, charm were all I needed to master to meet Luca business associates. But I feel like I’m loosing myself in the process. My body ached from the endless etiquette drills and my spirit rebelled against the strict schedule.For how long was I going to do this. It just about time and I won’t be able to do the things I loved. when would I be able to return home?“

Chapter: CrossroadsChapter 10 B A C K I N C R E T E I L C H L O E I walked into Isabelle cozy living room, greeted by a warmly aroma of freshly baked cookies with the nostalgic scent of melting chocolate and caramelized sugar filling the air. isabelle embraced me warmly “Thank you for coming under a short notice, Chloe”. She said “I appreciate it.” The timer went off, and she took the cookies out from the oven, setting them on the counter to cool. Isabelle always makes cookies whenever she’s worried about something. This has been a habit of hers that I’ve noticed over the years. “ of course, Isabelle. I’m happy to be here, I came as fast as I could”. I followed her into the living room where she gestured me to sit. I couldn’t help but notice the old family photo on the mantle. Isabelle must have been looking at it. There were other photos in the house but this particular photo stood out ; When Cecelie was about 5, Isabelle was cuddling baby Leo while her husband held her shoulders.

Chapter: Stranger in ParadiseChapter 9 Cecile Garnier I stormed into my hotel room,grabbing my luggage and tossing them on the bed, I couldn’t believe I was stuck in this situation. My mind didn’t fail with the thoughts that Luca definitely has my cards. Otherwise why would he want something in return? Why? He doesn’t even know me. I started to think about my own safety. I signed and began packing my belongings trying to push aside the unease that had settled in my stomach. I had agreed to moving in with a stranger. Pretending to be someone I’m not, all for the same of getting my cards back. This felt like a trap,a trap that I was willingly walking into. But what choice did I have? Maybe other options might come up but until then. This is what I have to do. As I finished packing. I took a deep breathe and looked around the hotel room one last time. I was really doing this. I was really going to go through with this crazy plan. I hauled my luggage and rolled it out of the room his man who Luca has

Chapter: Game Starts.Chapter 8 Luca crovetto “Fine, I’ll do it!” She looked up at me, her eyes sunken in helplessness. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed. Her hair was a tangled mess, her eyes had dark circles underneath, her lips dry and cracked. At least she had managed to change her clothes. But the black hoodie and ripped jeans she wore looked like they had been thrown on hastily. I was thrilled that she accepted the proposal. Of course she had no choice,if she had somewhere else to turn to, she wouldn’t be here asking for my help. look at her, so vulnerable. Desperation was written all over her. I was enjoying every bit of the moment. The Satisfaction was evident in my gleaming eyes . “Excellent choice” I said, my voice low and neutral. As I started to walk back to my seat, I had been standing , towering over her. her eyes followed every of my movement. “When Is this ——meeting—- happening ” she queried, her voice cracking slightly. Which made me pause. I shrugged ,

Chapter: The DealChapter Seven Cécile Garnier “I'm begging you!” I pleaded with the staff at the reception, my voice brittled in desperation while my two hands clasped together as I wrung them in a frantic plea. “I just need to find Luca crovetto, My ID and my bank cards are still missing” The receptionist, a lady dressed in a tailored navy blue uniform with a tight bun leaned in closely, her eyes seemed to hesitate, as if it was weighing the cost of helping me. She bridged her fingers together and her voice firm but gentle. “We still can't disclose any information about our guest mademoiselle, please try to understand” she repeated, She had been a little bit sympathetic at the beginning after I stormed into the reception asking about lucas whereabouts. The receptionist's gaze flicked to her colleague, a younger man who rocked back and forth with a little bit of impatience. his eyes rolled subtly before he looked away. I sensed a silent warning passing between them to maintain their neu

Chapter: Pretty Little IdeasChapter Six Luca Crovetto “ I'm back to the ville as instructed,Father” I said firmly pacing the courtyard of my ville with my phone pressed to my ear. “ Bene” he wheezed, his voice still carrying its depth “Resta li, await further instructions”. “Father I have problem, I need to speak to you about the deal” I quickened my pace , frustration building inside of me. “What about it” he asked his breathing was laboured and faint “The consortium is insisting on seeing the United front of our families before they agree and seal the deal!” “And How is that a problem,son” he sounded reluctant and it made me scratch my head feeling the familiar frustration build up in side of me. “ Father, you know i can’t stand sophie, I know her, she's not exactly the most cooperative person” I explained Trying to keep my voice even. There was silence at the other end of the line which made me wonder if he was paying attention.I was getting restless, then he finally speaks again. “
