Olivia's Pov I lay there on my bed in my top, I feel a sense of vulnerability and rawness, stripped down to my most basic self. It's as if the weight of the day's challenges has been lifted off my shoulders, and I am left with nothing but my thoughts. I think about the conversation I had with Vincenzo Colton replaying it in my mind, trying to analyze every word and action. Was I clear in my communication? Did I come across as confident and capable? These questions swirl around in my head, and I find myself replaying the scene over and over again.Fuck him because he was the last person I wanted to think about. Doesn't matter how hard I tried I wasn't able to shake him out of my head so I stood up to grab my laptop and work till I feel sleepy. After entering the password my laptop screen opened and it hit me what I was supposed to do. Logging into it again involved a lot of danger, I felt a sense of unease as I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the laptop in front of me. My han
Olivia's PovAfter all of this I was sure about one thing that doesn't matter what I can't sit back and sleep, I need to know what's going on. Picking up my burner phone from the drawer I dialled the number of my sourceperson. "It's been long, any update," I asked hoping for a positive response. "Mam, I have honestly done my job but still I'm unable to find out anything about your dad," Where the fuck has he gone. "You never disappoint me," I stated in disappointment. "Mam, I think your dad went underground," That was the only possible reason why he would have failed to find him. "I'll look into it by myself,"All these things happening around me were driving me crazy but the saddest part was I was helpless, unable to decide what I'm supposed to do. Being in normal conditions I would have called Uncle Connor but after that call with him, something has changed inside me for him. I knew it for a reason that I can't approach him. Sitting in my room, staring at the wall with a mill
Olivia's Pov Clutching the car keys in my hand I was blank as to what I am supposed to do or where to go. Throwing the duffle bag in the back seat I took the driver seat and pulled my car out of the driveway because the last place where I wanted to be was my own house. The place which was supposed to make me feel safe was doing nothing other than suffocating me even more with time. I was so confused with Richard Vitalio's arrival that I wasn't able to believe my own eyes, in front of me were two scenarios one where the man on the dark web was boasting that he has custody of Richard Vitalio whereas, on the other hand, he was standing right in front of my eyes. I wasn't able to make out which scenario I am supposed to trust. I gripped the steering wheel tightly with my right hand, trying to keep the car steady on the road. My left hand was injured and useless, wrapped in a bandage, and I felt lost and alone as I drove aimlessly through the night. "Where am I even going?" I muttered
Olivia's Pov"Are you ready?" he asked, his voice low and smooth like silk. I nodded, unable to find my voice in the presence of this dangerous, yet alluring devil.With a quick smile, he led me away, his black-clad figure disappearing into the night like a shadow. I knew that with him by my side, anything was possible, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for the thrill and excitement that he brought into my life during my hardest time. "Sit," he said, holding the door open for me. As soon as I slipped into the passenger seat, I was enveloped in his scent - a mix of expensive cologne and something else, something that was uniquely him. I felt myself relax for the first time in hours.His piercing gaze was locked on the road ahead, and his strong hands expertly manoeuvred the vehicle through the bustling city streets.I knew that being with him came with its fair share of danger and risk, but I couldn't resist his magnetic pull. There was something about the way he carried himself,
Victor's Pov As soon we made it inside the penthouse I knew that she was continuously staring at me from the corner of her eyes, for some reason knowing that I have such an effect on her has always been a major turn-on for me. But keeping everything aside I was concerned about her, I know she is hiding many things firstly she has been working as an intern for Colton Security secondly, the injury on her wrist has worsened and she even visited the hospital for a check-up and thirdly I knew something was wrong at her house because the way she left her mansion with a duffle bag, She promised to not keep things from me but still she chose to not tell what's wrong with her. I have decided to not push her and will wait in silence for her to come and tell me everything. I know it was a bad decision to ask my men to keep an eye on her as it felt like stalking but I wasn't left with any other option, her safety is my top priority and I can't take chance with that. Trust me if given a choice
Victor's Pic As the meat sizzled on the grill, I couldn't wait to see her face when she takes the first bite. It's going to taste even better mam," Finally, the meat was ready. I plated it up, adding some fresh herbs as a garnish, and carried it over to the table where we were going to eat. "The food is ready to come," She came running to me without wasting a second and I pushed her plate in front of her. Without wasting her time she took the first bite of the meat and her eyes widened in surprise and delight. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction at her reaction. "Mhhhh, it's yummy," Inkew it was a compliment from her side for me, "Thankyou," I took the fork and started eating and as I expected it was perfect, "Ahhh, it's so tasty," came her second compliment. She continued, "I didn't even know when I ate something so good maybe when last time you again cooked for me but this is just mind-blowing," She moaned for the third time making it a herculean task for
Olivia's Pov Everything was perfect the night, him in his trousers and me in his penthouse. If I have to name a place where I forget all my miseries it's here with him by my side. I gazed upon his face, my heart swelled with love and adoration. Every curve, every line, and every expression etched on his handsome features was a source of endless fascination to me. His deep-set eyes held a universe of emotion that I could lose myself in for hours, and his strong jawline made me weak in the knees. "What? Is there something on my face?" He asked and I inched closer to him. At that moment, I knew that nothing else mattered but him. Everything else faded into the background as I drank in the sight of his beautiful face, and I felt my heart overflow with something foreign yet so soothing for this amazing man who had captured me in a way no one else has completed. "Yes, something which I want to look at every day," I whispered for only him to hear. I couldn't help but notice the way his ey
Olivia's Pov"Here, wear this," he said trying hard to stifle his laugh. What a jerk! But I wasn't going to let him have an upper hand. Sitting up on the bed and pushing my hair behind my ears, I gave him a smile acting as if nothing happened. Standing up on my legs, I motioned toward the bathroom stating, "It's like coming to your house borrowing your clothes and parading in your clothes have become a new normal for me," My tone was low but he heard me. "You could put it that way too," J turned to look at him and he was leisurely seated on his bed staring at me enjoying that I was trying hard not to give in to my anger. I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my chest as I watched him sit on the edge of the bed, clad only in his trousers. The muscles in his chest and arms rippled with each movement, and the soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated his chiselled features. The way his hair fell across his forehead, the curve of his lips as he smiled, and the way his eyes sparkled in
