"Maledetto mostro," Alessia muttered under her breath as she made her way toward the living room, where the commotion was coming from.She couldn't just sit and wait for her family to tell Antonio off—which wasn't happening, by the way. So she didn't bother waiting for Noah to give him a heads-up before she left."Intendo fare del male, sono qui solo per vedere Alessia." What the hell did he mean by "he was just here to see Alessia"? She rounded the corner and saw him.He stood there, looking almost exactly like he had two years ago, though a bit older. His dark hair was perfectly combed back and gelled, not a strand out of place.He flashed her that familiar grin, the one that used to melt her heart, all while casually touching his crooked nose with his finger. And she wondered what exactly it was that made her fall for him in the first place."Alessia," he called out, and all eyes turned to her, waiting for her reaction—waiting for her to snap, tell him off, and prove to them all th

“Hey, how's it going over there?” Brielle’s voice buzzed through the phone, pulling Alessia from her thoughts. She ran her fingers through her hair, eyes drifting to her brother and Noah, who were a few feet away, engaged in conversation.“Everything’s fine, except my grandmother thinks I’m pregnant,” Alessia said, rolling her eyes.Brielle chuckled. “Wait, what? Pregnant? Why?”Alessia sighed. “It’s ridiculous. Nona’s convinced I’m having Noah’s baby just because I brought him over.” She muttered, shaking her head. “Oh, wow.” Brielle let out a soft laugh. “That’s... something.”Alessia tried to suppress a smile. It had been a lot harder than she’d thought to convince Nona that she wasn't pregnant for Noah. Honestly, the whole thing was exhausting. “And guess what?” Alessia lowered her voice. “Antonio showed up yesterday.”Brielle’s tone dropped. “Oh, no. What happened? Did you kick him in the balls like I suggested?”Alessia blinked. “No, I didn’t.”“Why not? He deserves it for eve

The clinking of cutlery on the plates was the only sound filling the room. The silence was so thick it could be cut with a knife.That's what happens when you find yourself sitting across from your ex at the dinner table.Alessia pretended not to notice the glances Antonio kept sending her way. She pretended she wasn't mentally comparing herself to his fiancée—who, by the way, was beautiful and everything Alessia wasn't.Brunette, green eyes, pouty lips—a pang of jealousy hit her square in the chest."Are you enjoying the meal?" Mama asked. Antonio's smile perked up, but it quickly faded when he realized the question was directed at Adelina, who nodded."Yes, you're an excellent cook," she said with a wide smile. Alessia shifted in her seat, her arm brushing against Noah’s."I didn’t prepare that," Mama replied, her eyes gleaming. "My daughter did." Adelina’s smile faltered as she turned her gaze toward Alessia, acknowledging her with only a slight nod.A warm hand wrapped around Ales

"Non ci posso credere," Alessia muttered, staring at her reflection in the mirror. She turned slightly, huffing in frustration. She’d gained weight, and that wasn’t good.She was supposed to look slimmer—a sign she was doing fine. But instead, she was getting heavier.Her eyes dropped to her chest. Did her breasts get bigger? They weren’t supposed to. Her gaze bounced to her face, spotting new freckles. Her eyes looked larger and browner, and her lips were almost pale.She could lie to herself, but deep down, she knew the truth. She was comparing herself to Adelina— again.Adelina was lean, perfect, everything Alessia wasn’t. The thought annoyed her, it was a feeling she couldn’t shake.Grabbing her dress from the bed, she slipped it on. She knew what had to be done.---“Want to hear something funny?” Piero asked, a mischievous grin on his face.Noah glanced at Alessia, who shook her head quickly. “Piero, non cominciare,” she warned, but as usual, he ignored her.“Alessia had a massi

She groaned, raising a hand to touch her aching forehead. Why did it feel like there was a whole community of people in her skull?A few muffled sounds reached her ears, too muffled to make sense of. Dark—everything around her was dark.A warm hand pressed briefly to her forehead then withdrew. She tried to open her eyes, but it took several attempts before she finally peeled them open.Everything was grey. Blinking a few times, her vision sharpened, revealing shadowy figures around her bed.The fog that clouded her mind shattered in an instant. The voices came into focus.“Thank goodness, she's awake,” Mama murmured in Italian, moving closer to Alessia’s side and gazing down at her with teary eyes.“Water,” she croaked, her throat chapped. Noah quickly uncapped a bottle and handed it to her. Alessia’s eyes lingered on his face as she took it.He looked —pissed.He stepped back, hands shoving into his pockets as if to contain whatever he was feeling.“Cosa stai cercando di fare?" Papa

“Hey, Alessia,” Antonio smiled tightly, his eyes darting from Alessia to Noah and then returning to her.Noah immediately wrapped his arm around Alessia's waist, pulling her into him. She stiffened for a second before she relaxed, shoving her hand into Noah's back pocket.She tried to ignore the feel of his ass against her palm, resisting the urge to pinch it. Focus, Alessia, she mentally scolded herself.“Hi, Antonio...” Her gaze slid over to Adelina. “Adelina,” she added with a curt nod. Adelina's eyes shifted from Noah back to Alessia, her nod equally cool.Alessia glanced up at Noah, who was staring down at her with a gaze that felt too soft, too knowing. She swallowed, her throat tightening, and looked away.“What brings you here?” she asked, forcing small talk. It’d be awkward if they just stood there here, without saying anything to each other.Antonio shrugged, giving a sidelong glance at Adelina, who leaned into him. Their fingers intertwined. Alessia couldn’t help but notice

Noah only blinked at her, leaning into his seat.“Yeah, to satisfy your curiosity. I was just going through her social media before you asked. Her picture is on the phone, you can take a look at it,” he said and she shook her head.“No... No, I didn't mean to,” she muttered, forcing a smile. Her stomach churned, hollow and uneasy. She was doing this with someone else's boyfriend. Her mouth tasted bitter, and she couldn't swallow past the knot forming in her throat.She felt like, she had been played —again. Even though she didn't have the right to feel that way.“Alessia, the phone is right in front of you,” he muttered, his gaze sharp, his eyes taking in her reaction, never leaving her face.She stared at the phone just inches away, as if it might burn. If he had a girlfriend she might as well see who the lucky —unlucky— girl was.Grabbing the phone, she glanced at Noah whose expression was unreadable as if he held all the cards in his hands and had no intention of showing.Her breat

“You don't know how hard this is... I mean, he hates me and I—well, I hate him too,” Alessia whisper-yelled into her phone in the bathroom. Brielle's chuckle on the other end only grated her nerves.“Oh darling, don't be so hard on yourself,” Brielle teased. “Okay, maybe you two could hook up and get the steam out of your systems,” her voice turned serious, though her tone still held an edge of amusement.Alessia huffed, irritation curling in her chest. “Can you even hear yourself, Elle?” She glanced at the bathroom door, making sure it was still closed. She’d escaped here when it became clear Noah wasn’t leaving the room anytime soon. Last night had been tough—*too* tough. She'd come dangerously close to asking Noah for some... orgasmic favors. Trying to squeeze into the bed had been awkward, and they'd ended up in the same tangled position as the first night they arrived.But this time, it was worse. His scent had been intoxicating, driving her crazy. How she survived the night wit

“How do I look?” Alessia asked, doing a slow spin in the middle of the room. Noah turned around as he fastened his belt, then froze. She blinked.She’d packed the red sundress at the last minute, just in case there was some emergency—though she hadn’t really expected to wear it. Now, with Ayana's birthday tonight, that "emergency" had arrived. She thought the dress was decent enough; sure, it made her chest look a bit fuller and dipped low enough to hint at cleavage, but it wasn’t anything outrageous. The look on Noah’s face, however, seemed to disagree.“Noah?” she called, feeling a pang of insecurity rise in her chest. Did she look that bad?A muscle in his jaw tightened as his gaze traveled down her body, then back up to her face.“You look... amazing,” he said, his eyes sweeping over her one more time. His voice was quiet, almost strained, and Alessia felt a warmth bloom under her skin as she realized his reaction was more admiration than anything else. And damn, that felt good.“

“So, boyfriend, huh?” Ayana asked, her big dark eyes gleaming as she stared at Noah's retreating backside.Alessia blushed and nodded, her lips curving up slightly despite herself.“Yeah,” she shifted on the sofa, making enough room for Ayana to snuggle in next to her.“He's hot,” Ayana whispered, earning a soft chuckle from Alessia, who shook her head. She could deny a lot of things about Noah, but his hotness wasn't one of them.Unfortunately, his presence alone was doing things to her body she wished it wouldn’t.“I want the gist... Everything. How you’ve been, how America’s treating you, and yeah,” Ayana's voice dropped mischievously, “how you bagged that guy for yourself.” She leaned back into the sofa, crossing her legs with an expectant look.Alessia laughed, carefully tucking her hair behind her ear. “It’s not that exciting.”“Oh, come on.”“I swear. We met at the office,” Alessia began, recounting the version of the story she and Noah had agreed on. Simple, half-true. She ha

Alessia was the first to move. She stood up, her eyes flicking between her brother and Noah, waiting for someone to explain.“Okay, what’s going on?” she asked, her voice sharper than she intended. Piero only shrugged.“We got into an accident—"“It’s not a big deal,” Noah cut in, his calm tone earning a sharp glare from Alessia.Ricco stood up silently, a wordless reminder of the tense conversation he and Alessia had shared moments before. Piero followed him out of the room, grumbling under his breath, leaving just Alessia and Noah in the sitting room.Alessia folded her arms, narrowing her eyes at Noah as he limped toward the sofa.“What happened?” she demanded. Noah’s jaw tightened as he lowered himself onto the couch, avoiding her gaze.“Like your brother said, we got into an accident, and... it’s not a big deal,” he repeated, his voice clipped, clearly hoping to dismiss the conversation. “For God’s sake, Noah! You. Are. Limping!” she snapped, each word sharper than the last. She

She blinked, disconcerted. What was Ricco saying? Despite the calm facade she wore, her heart was beating wildly inside her chest, each thump like a reminder of the lie she was living.She chuckled, nervously, her voice thin. “What are you talking about? He's my boyfriend,” she said, and Ricco nodded, placing his hands together slowly, as though weighing his next words carefully.“You can lie to everyone, Coco, but not me,” he said. Her breath caught at the sound of the name he’d called her since childhood. **The warmth of it was a stark contrast to the cold truth she was avoiding.** She stared down at her fingers, suddenly fascinated by her nails.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. But she did know. Ricco always knew. He sighed, leaning in slightly.“This…” He pointed a finger at her. “...isn’t you. The Alessia I know would jump on her 'man' any chance she got.” A muscle ticked in his jaw, tension pulling his face tight.She bit
