I pin my lips in a thin line and shake my head, storming back into room. I hear the front door slide open and shortly after closes. Heavy footsteps approach me where I'm arranging my clothes to leave."Lily. It's not what you think."I turn around and throw the fastest thing I can grab at him, the pillow. "Then, what is it? Tell me." I yell loudly. "You fucked a woman again, the same night we were intimate.""Lily." He makes a move to me."Don't call my name." I'm so mad, I don't even want to listen to him. "Why did you fuck her?""Lily, listen to me." He shouts at me.I quiet for a while then scream again. "Maybe, you know what , I think you deserve everything you suffered back in Italy because you don't care about anybody but yourself. You love hurting people because you are immune to pain. You're so used to pain that nothing can hurt you again. You deserve the rape, and starvation and..." I stop. I'm gone too far. I intend to hurt him but I know I shouldn't have brought his traumat
LUCA My Rolex watch glitter as I comb my long fingers through my brown curly hair which fall at my nape. My honey eyes stare at me through the mirror, and I can see the excitement in his eyes, I'm preparing to go over to Smith's mansion to finalize the biggest deal of my life. The kind of real estate deal that can take a man from zero to a million, and since I'm already at billions, it's just going to get me wealthier. My broad chest rise in fall in excitement, with the level of anxiety and excitement I am feeling at the moment, I'm surprise my heart hasn't burst. I can't remember the last time I felt this happy...like genuinely happy without demons from my past intruding my mind, without the image of my deadbeat dad clouding my thoughts, me watching him physically abuse my mother and doing nothing because what could I have possibly done? I was just a kid. But when he started sexually abusing her... I clench my both fist at either side of me and tighten my jaw. The memory alone

LILY "Who did you hook up with last night?" I ignore her question. "Did you and West finally hit it?" "I was really wasted last night. West is a total gentleman, he refused to have sex with me in my drunken state. Don't try to switch things Lily, I'm asking about you." "Did we come out here to talk about boys and sex, or fill college applications?" We're sitting in an open field under a mini pink canopy. There is a small table infront us with assorted snacks, fruits, drinks, and books, that is too much for two girls. There are flowers hanging on the four poles supporting the canopy. We're both sitting side by side on white cushions. I must give Tiffany credit, she outdid herself by setting this up and wearing a matching pink sundress and white sandals. "Lily, it's not fair. I tell you everything about my love life but you keep hiding secrets from me." She frowns at me. "I know you hooked up with someone last night, who is it?" I shrug. "I didn't. Luca took me home." That's the

LILY "Breath." He commands. His voice is too deep, it reaches my stomach and caress my senses. I obey by inhaling and exhaling. His hands drops from my waist and I almost voice my protest. He clears his throat and push me away from him. His rejection hits like a kick in the gut. Sensing the moment is over, I step way from him until there's enough space for me to breath. The whore in me does one more assessment of him. If I ever said this man was handsome, then I'm an idiot because this man is. Devastingly. Hot. "Why are you here?" His signature scowl is back on his face. "I-I came to check on you." "To see how much of a mess I am? So that you can go tell your daddy and have him come over and whoop my ass?" What is he talking about? "Sorry about last night." I stretch out my hands that's holding the bag of mom's homemade cookies which I know Luca can never resist. "I brought cookies for..." I stop talking midway and stare at the new figure that has just joined Luca in the
