I looked at her amused. I got up from my seat and stood infront of her. Not too close, not yet. ''You imagine too much Ms. Vitale. I can assure you that I'm not plotting anything, although I did plan something different". I whispered the last part. ''W-what?'' She asked looking confused. Cute. ''I'm sorry for what happened that day. You are right, I shouldn't have kissed you without your consent.'' I said taking a step forward. ''You are sorry?'' She asked looking surprised. I chuckled. ''Yes'' I said taking another step. She leaned back slightly, it's almost unnoticeable, but didn't move from her place. Trying to look brave huh? ''T-Then why are you doing all this?'' She asked in low voice. I took one last step. We are finally too close. I can feel the heat radiating from her body. I started trailing my fingers from her arm to collarbone, she shuddered and goosebumps erupted on her skin. I leaned down, brushing her earlobe with my lips, making her breath uneven. ''Are you in a relationship Ms. Vitale?'' ''N-No'' Her words came out in a whisper. ''Good.''

Meant to be 34. Headstart
LUCYMy heart raced like a runaway train, the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I struggled against the death grip.I kicked and writhed, every fiber of my being focused on breaking free from this sudden nightmare.Panic surged through me as I was forcefully dragged away from the safety of the street and into the alley behind the ice cream parlor.I looked around, desperate for a way out, but my eyes landed on two more figures in the alley.One of them, a towering man with bulging muscles, seemed like a bodyguard. His sheer size and intimidating presence sent shivers down my spine.The other person, a woman, looked strikingly beautiful and crazy at the same time. Her wild pink hair was allover her face and her eyes held a hint a madness that made me uneasy for an instant.My mind raced, piecing together the situation and I knew I was trapped.That woman clicked her tongue and pouted in a mocking manner as if she found amusement in my fear. She lifted her hand, bringing it to my f
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Meant to be 33. Out of comfort zone
LUCY As I stood by the xerox machine, feeding it paper after paper, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration building up within me. Printing out documents, answering calls, and running errands had become the mundane routine of my job. I jabbed at the buttons on the machine with more force than necessary, my annoyance clearly evident.I'm so over this. I can't just do this anymore. That's it. I'm going to ask Rocco to allow me to attend this afternoon's meeting. It's been months since I joined and still haven't got a chance to set foot in the conference room along with Rocco.I attended a few meetings with Alex though, that was more like one-on-one meetings. But this meeting with Rocco will be full on discussions about business operations, strategies and issues with other department heads and team members.With new determination, I went to Rocco's office. After knocking twice, I entered the room and slammed the papers I had just printed on his desk as gently as possible.You se

LUCYThe sun peeked through the curtains, waking me harshly from my slumber. As I opened my eyes, a mixture of excitement and nervousness filled my heart.Today I decided to make my relationship with Alex public at the office. If Carolina or Beatrice said anything to others, there would already be a new rumor waiting for me.I sighed and sluggishly made my way to the kitchen, where Gemma had already prepared breakfast for us. "Buongiorno, Lucy!" Gemma greeted me with a broad smile. "Nervous about today?"I sighed and nodded. "A little. I hope everything goes well."Gemma chuckled and gave me a reassuring pat on the back. "Don't worry. Everything will be just fine. Now, let's focus on getting these little rascals fed and ready for the day!"As we sat around the table, Vicky and Jay joined us with their unruly bed hair and contagious energy.Vicky plopped down beside Gemma, his eyes wide with anticipation. "Mamma!Alex is still coming to pick us up, right?''I grinned at his excitement.

LUCYMy grip on the handle tightened as Elvira's face inched towards Alex. They are standing a few steps away from the sofa. I could partially see Alex's face as his back faced the entrance and Elvira was too engrossed in Alex to notice me. My heart sank and a wave of pain washed over me. I could literally feel the ache in my heart.It was almost similar to the feeling I get whenever I think about Alex. The only difference is, that was full of love and this feels like heartbreak.Love? Did I just say that? My timing truly sucks.Before Elvira could place her lips against his, Alex slapped her hands off him. I flinched involuntarily like it was my hands that he slapped.Okay, ouch, that must have hurt.''Don't you ever touch me again'' The coldness in his voice sent shivers down my spine.Elvira hissed and looked at him in disbelief. ''Do you even know what you are saying? How could you reject me? Am I not to your liking?''I could see Alex's jaw flex as he clenched it. ''I have no int
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Meant to be 30. THE FLIES
LUCYI sat at my desk, tapping my fingers nervously. It's been three days since the bathroom incident. True to her words, Carolina never let go of any chance to torment me.And the worst thing? I haven't been able to see Alex in the office. I can't believe Carolina is actually doing this!Normally, if a file is needed to be signed/reviewed, anyone from the secretary's department will bring it me, and if the COO thinks it needs to be checked/ needs the CEO's sign, I'll take that file to Alex's assistant. I'm supposed to give the file to her but instead, I'll give it to Alex myself, so that I can see him.Sometimes he will be too busy, like having a video conference or having meetings, but when he is free, we usually kiss, talk, hug and kiss some more.But now, Carolina has made that impossible for me. I know she is the head of the secretary's department, but I never imagined that she'd actually send a person to fetch files from end to end. Sometimes, she personally takes files to Alex

ILARIAI woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep. I sighed and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. As I got out of bed, I realized I was only wearing a tank top and panties. I shrugged, thinking it was just me. The coolness of the marble floor sent shivers up my spine as I made my way to the kitchen.As I rummaged through the refrigerator, searching for a late-night snack, a sudden movement caught the corner of my eye. Startled, I turned around, only to find myself face to face with Niccolo. His presence sent a jolt through me, and I quickly pulled the tank top down, attempting to cover myself."What the hell, Ria? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Niccolo's voice was laced with annoyance, but I could see a glimmer of something else in his eyes.I narrowed my gaze at him, my own frustration mixing with the undeniable attraction that pulsed between us. "You should learn to knock, Niccolo. This is my temporary place to stay, remember?"He scoffed,

ILARIAAs I hung up the phone, a sense of uneasiness washed over me. Lucy seemed distant during our conversation. I know I'm not totally being honest with Lucy, but I don't know how to tell her that I kind of joined hands with the guy that I was supposed to spy on?Okay, that sounds awful. What if she thinks I'm betraying her? Or worse, I'm scamming her for money or something? I hope that Niccolo finds something about the accident she had so that I can give her an update.Speaking of Niccolo, I haven't seen him since the day we had the agreement. It's just been 4 days though, not that I'm counting.He also sent a doctor for me that day. The audacity of him. First he sends bodyguards, then he sends a doctor too. Who does he think he is?But he did say that it was a misunderstanding though, but who cares? Not me. And true to his words, I didn't see that giant bodyguard again.Ohhh and not to mention the privileges he mentioned. I'm enjoying my life to it's fullest right now. I now get w

LUCYIt feels hot in here, wherever I was. My eyes felt heavy as I tried to open them. I squinted my eyes and blinked slowly a few times before opening them again. When I tried to stir, I couldn't move my body. Confused, I looked down and found myself entangled with Alex. Last night's memory zapped into my brain, making me flush like a tomato.I'm only in my bra and Alex is in his boxers. His hands were wrapped around me, with his head buried between my breasts and our legs tangled inside the sheets. His thigh is directly in contact with my lower region, making it pulse with life.A smile tugged my lips as I took in our position. I have never cuddled with anyone intimately before but I'm loving this. Sure, it's not as comfortable as cuddling with my pillows, but I can't deny the fact that I just had one of my best sleeps.Gently untangling myself, I slipped out of bed and reached for my oversized T-shirt. I slipped it over my head and wore my panties before padding silently across the

LUCY''Don't go'' I whispered, looking at Alex in the eye, so that he knows I'm serious. ''I don't want you to go. Spend the night with me.''He clenched his jaw and cupped the back of my neck, bringing his face close to mine. ''You look tired, Tesoro. You need rest.''I tiptoed, fisting his shirt on both sides and brushed my lips against his. He sucked his breath when I dragged my lips along with his jaw. His grip tightened on my neck as I licked the spot under his ear.He smells musky mixed with sweat and it turned me on even more. I brought my lips to his ear and whispered ''I'm not tired enough, are you?''He pulled me back by my neck and gripped my waist with his other hand. His lust-filled eyes bore into mine, making me shudder in anticipation.''Never for you'' he muttered and slammed his lips against mine.I staggered back at the rough contact but melted in when he nudged his tongue against mine. I let him explore every corner of my mouth while he backed me against the wall.H

1. GREEK GOD-ISH?
LUCYMy temples pulsed with a throbbing ache as I navigated through the bustling airport with my two energetic kids in tow. Jay, the mischievous nine-year-old, bounded ahead, his eyes filled with wonder at the vast expanse of the terminal. Vicky, my seven-year-old son, trailed behind, his eyes alight with curiosity.As we made our way to the departure gate, my headache intensified. I desperately needed a moment of respite from the constant clamor surrounding me. However, my hope for a peaceful moment evaporated when I noticed Vicky engrossed in a flirtatious exchange with a little girl around Jay's age.Vicky had always been precocious, his charm radiating effortlessly. It wasn't uncommon for him to capture the attention of those around him. But this time, his innocent attempts at flirting seemed to irk the girl's father, who stood nearby, his brows furrowed in mild irritation.I quickened my pace, gently coaxing Vicky away from his newfound friend.
