Meant to be 18. G****E, HOW TO MAKEOUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND?
LUCY''He is just so hot, like he came out directly from the magazine. I mean how is that even possible?'' Beatrice, Alex's new assistant, said, shaking her head.It's been a few days since our date and I miss him like hell. We barely get any time to meet and I almost regret taking my old job back. Almost.But he always makes sure to call me though, atleast once a day. Sometimes he comes to our floor to meet Rocco, in excuse to see me. And sometimes, I go to his office, using some excuses like getting his signature or giving him some files, like right now.''Yes, I agree. I can go in now?'' I asked her impatiently, giving her a forced smile.''Uh-ah, not so soon. I know what you are doing, Lucy. You come here every chance you get and you wont even let me, his assistant, to take those files to him'' she gave a knowing look and continued. ''No offense honey, but he is out of our league. I tried flirting with him on my second day and almost lost my job. He literally said 'Ms. Calvo, I do
Meant to be 19. MS. SPY!
NICCOLO MORETTI (Few days back) ''Sir, Ms. Ilaria Salvo checked in yesterday.'' Said Eric, my assistant. I smirked. ''Where is Niven? I haven't seen him since morning.'' ''He is out to get a deal from Mr. Barnard, regarding his shares'' Eric said with a hint of a smile. ''You are not going easy on him, good.'' I said, giving him a knowing look. Niven is a carefree asshole, pampered and spoiled rotten by my mother. But Dad wants him to get on the right track, so I'm stuck with him until he learns how to run a business efficiently. I wrapped things at the office by noon and headed to NewView. As soon as I entered, I saw Ria sitting in the lobby, pretending to read a newspaper wearing a blonde wig and sunglasses. I scoffed. Who wears sunglasses while reading a newspaper? That too indoors. As always, she sucks at spying. I ordered my guards to leave her alone and let her do her thing. At first, I thought about changing my guards as they almost caught her last time at the mall but w
Meant to be 20. I'M AN OKAY-ISH SPY
ILARIA Pain shot up through my arm but I didn't budge. The physical pain I'm enduring right now is nothing compared to the pain I feel emotionally. ''I told you to stop talking about my sister. You have a problem with me stalking you? Then tell me what I need to know! WHO.KILLED.MY.SISTER?'' I asked, glaring at him. To my surprise, he smiled at me amusingly while rubbing his jaw, which, by the way, wasn't even damaged a bit. Which made me more annoyed. ''Did I crack a joke?'' I asked, raising my eyebrows, deadpanned. His smile became a full blown laugh."No. It's just, you never fail to amaze me. First you tried to stalk me, but failed. I know, beginner's mistakes. Now you even dared to punch me and injured yourself in the process. I can't wait to see what else you'll do next.'' My cheeks flushed with embarrassment. ''Stop diverting the question and answer it! I bet you know what happened to her, right? How she was starved? Raped? Huh? Were you there while she was suffering?'' I s
Meant to be 21. FIST FIGHTS
NICCOLO''Lucy? Oh God!'' Ria's honey brown widened in realization. ''You are going to track back to the accident she got into? But she said that it was ruled out as an accident. How will you find anything?''''You can find anything if you have enough money and power. Now why don't you leave it to me and stop spying?'' I said, trying to ignore how close we are.I can clearly see the finger prints on her jaw turning into a nasty bruise and the cut on her lip with dried blood. I clenched my jaw and looked into her eyes. They seem to be calculating something.''Oh, I will. When you say what you are hiding or should I say who? Who is that Moretti that ordered the accident to happen? You may not know the reason, but you do know that person. After all, he is family. Right?''The air crackled with tension as her piercing gaze bore into mine. I can tell her who that person is, but it isn't my decision alone. So I tried to dodge her question for now.''I'll tell you soon when I gather enough i
Meant to be 22. ALMOST LIKE A FAMILY
LUCY I was actually excited about the weekend. Alex and I planned to spend time together, so that he could get to know Jay and Vicky. But unfortunately, he had a family gathering in Sicily. The sound of the doorbell echoed, startling me. It's almost eight in the evening. We just had dinner. Jay and Vicky were watching TV while I was washing dishes. Nat usually just bargs in, she wouldn't bother with the doorbell. My heart skipped a beat as I wondered who would be standing outside the door. I rushed towards the entrance with a tinge of worry mixed with curiosity. I looked through the peep hole and saw the person I never expected to see again. I opened the door and the person standing before me was Mrs. Diana De Luca, with her two bodyguards behind her. She smiled at me sweetly, it almost helped reduce my previous anxiety. ''Mrs. De Luca, what are you doing here?'' I asked, looking at her in disbelief. ''Well, you said you'd come to see us again but you didn't. So I decided to visi
Meant to be 23. IT'S NOW OR NEVER
LUCYI gasped out loud, snapping my eyes open. My whole body is sweaty and my heartbeat rings in my ears. I can't believe I had a sex dream. I could still feel his lips on every inch of my body.I shudder at the thought.I miss him so much. We rarely see each other in the office as he had back-to-back meetings this week. It sucks that we don't spend some quality time together. That's why I decided that it was time to tell the kids about my relationship with Alex. I'll tell them this evening.I stretched and quickly got out of bed. I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth and made my way to the kitchen, where the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air.Gemma greeted me with a warm smile."Good morning, Gemma," I said, returning the smile. "I hope you've prepared something delicious for breakfast."Gemma chuckled, her eyes twinkling with affection. "Of course, dear. I know how much your boys love pancakes. They're waiting for you at the table."After a quick breakfast
Meant to be 24. CULINARY ADVENTURE
ALEXI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring. Rubbing my eyes, I reluctantly rolled out of bed and stretched my tired muscles.Today is a special day. I was going to meet Lucy's kids for the first time as her boyfriend and spend the weekend with them and I wanted everything to go perfectly. I knew they were an important part of her life, and if I wanted to be a part of it too, I had to make an effort to connect with them.I slipped into my workout clothes and made my way to the private gym. As I started my morning workout routine, my mind wandered to thoughts of Lucy and her children. Would they accept me? Would they give me a chance?After an intense workout, I made my way to the shower, allowing the warm water to wash away the sweat.Dressed and ready for the day, I headed downstairs to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, and I poured myself a cup. Sipping the hot liquid, I checked my phone for any urgent messages from work. Being a CEO means I w
Meant to be 25. DON'T GO
ALEXAs the last dish was put away, Vicky hopped up from his chair, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Let's watch a movie! I want to watch a sci-fi movie!" His voice filled the room with enthusiasm, and I couldn't help but chuckle at his eagerness.Jay looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Really? Sci-fi? Can't we watch something more exciting?"Vicky stuck out his tongue playfully. "Come on, Jay! Sci-fi is awesome! There are spaceships and aliens and cool gadgets!"Lucy interjected with a gentle smile. "Well, I think sci-fi sounds like a great choice, boys. Let's find a movie that we can all enjoy."We made our way to the living room, transforming it into a cozy haven for our movie night. Pillows and blankets were arranged on the couch, creating a warm nest where we could all cuddle together. The room was filled with anticipation as Lucy found a sci-fi film that seemed suitable for our afternoon entertainment.As the movie began, I settled comfortably on the couch, with Jay sittin

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
Meant 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
Meant to be 32. The Cat's Out of the Bag
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.
Meant to be 31. YOU CHOOSE
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
Meant 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
Meant to be 29. IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
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,
Meant to be 28. I'M JUST A BIT CLUMSY
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
Meant to be 27. LINGERING STARES AND HUSHED WHISPERS
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
Meant to be 26. NOT A SOUND, TESORO
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
