Achilles’ Point of View:

“You hurt yourself?” Her voice quivered as she uttered the words looking in my eyes.

Those words from her made me shiver back in response and my heart rate elevated. No, she can not know, right? I can’t let her know about this. She had no proof anyway.

“What?” I asked back and chuckled. “You hit your head?”

“I might be bad at remembering stuff but I’m not stupid, Achilles,” She took a step toward me.

“So just because I have a lighter laying around at my place, I hurt myself?” I laughed again. “That’s the circumstantial evidence that even a local court won’t accept.”

“Then I might be lucky it’s not a court,” She came over to me. “Tell me the truth, please.”

“I already did,” I exhaled. “That’s bullshit.”

“Really? So let me state the very obvious reasons I am reaching this conclusion and if you can contradict them then I’ll believe you.”

“Okay.”

Obviously, it was gonna be easy. Even though I don’t particularly enjoy her being ill, she wouldn’t be able to put toge

    Achilles’ Point of View:“I hope you count me as a good enough friend to share. I’m here, for you, Achilles. And I know you said no, but… I love you.” Isabelle said with sincere eyes as she looked at me.I looked back at her, taken aback by her sudden confession. It took a long moment for me to muster up a reply that wouldn’t complicate things further.“Isabe—”“No, shh,” She stopped me from saying anything as she picked up the cream and started applying it slowly and delicately. “Don’t say it.”“Uh…” I exhaled.“I know you do

    Carlos’ Point of View:“Mr. Diaz? The boss is here.” My assistant said from the other side of the locked door.I gasped and looked over at Jo, as she pulled back, her eyes widened. She hurriedly rushed to pick up her dress as I put on my clothes too—all within a few seconds, returning some of the stuff that fell earlier, back to the table and taking our positions. We both shared a glance, took a breath and I nodded.“C-come in,” I said and coughed as Jenny walked in.“Hello, Mr. Diaz. The boss wants to see you in his office.” She looked at me with a small smile.I nodded. She looked over at Jo, who had a troubled expression on her face. “I see you’ve already met Ms. Josephine.”“Ah, yes,” I replied with a smile. “Quite a pleasur

    Isabelle’s Point of View:I took a deep breath as I stared at Achilles. He looked so pretty in his messy hair which fell on his forehead as perfect as they could, his beautiful eyes so innocent and lovely, just the most beautiful thing I had ever seen—and his perfect lips. His expression was fragile, and delicate as he looked at me with calmness.“Achilles?” I asked as he didn’t say anything.“Damn it, Isabella, I…” He looked at my eyes and my lips simultaneously. The way he did that made me think he almost wanted to kiss me, but didn’t he say I couldn’t do that till everything came back to me? Why would he give me mixed signals when he knew that I was…I stepped back because I knew I couldn’t control myself if he kept staring at me like that. He looked away as soon as our distance increased. I turned around and moved back into the room.“What’s up, A–Achilles?” I asked to change the topic. “And what are you doing up already? I told you to rest for sometime.”“Yeah, you did…” he whispe

    Achilles’ Point of View:I left her room after she was lying on the bed. As I came out, I saw Carlos pacing around in the living room.“What happened?” He asked.“Well…”He raised his eyebrows.“I… kissed her and I don’t know, she—she fainted.” I added as I moved toward him.He exhaled. “So you think her memory came back because of it?”“I don’t know, but maybe.”“Well, we can only wait and see.” He shrugged.“Right. You, wait and see. I’ll be in my room.”“What? No, you can’t—”“If she remembers everything, she wouldn’t wanna see me, Carlos,” I justified as I threw my hands in my pocket. “I’m in my room, okay? You stay in the room next to hers. If there’s any sound, check on her.”He took a moment before agreeing.“I’ll call you when she wakes up.”“No, call me when she leaves,” I concurred. He shared a glance with me before heading off to her room.I took a deep breath as my eyes lingered over her room door for a few moments. The last kiss, even though it was on borrowed time—was th

I groaned as I hit pause on my phone and walked over to open the door. Carlos looked at me with a sad expression, enough for me to know she woke up, remembered everything, left and probably wants nothing to do with me.I stepped aside as he walked in and sat down on a chair.“She’s gone,” He said slowly after a brief moment.I exhaled as I walked past him, over to my bed. “Yeah, I figured.”“She was worried if you were okay.” He looked up at me as if that was supposed to change my mind about her feelings.“She’s hu

    Achilles’ Point of View:Since it was late night, I figured there was nothing I could do about any of it and just should wait for morning. I spent the better part of the night trying to process how to face dad after everything and how to mend things with Carlos. The thing about him was that he’d always forgive me if I did something wrong, but he had little empathy for himself. So even when I knew it wasn’t his fault at all, I had to make sure he thought the same.The morning came after a very long time, and a lot of turning around. It was 8 A.M. when I got the strength to get up and make some coffee—and that was also the time I heard some movements in the living room.I went downstairs and saw Carlos making some coffee in the kitchen. He looked over at me.“Didn’t think you’d stay.” I said as I walked over.“Yeah, well, I’m not letting you out of my sight till you agree with everything I ask you to do.” He turned to me and then picked up his coffee cup.“And what’s that?”“I haven’t d

    Isabella’s Point of View:I sat down in my apartment and sighed. I guess it was indeed time to leave the past behind and look forward to making things work again. Although, it did seem like I’ll have to leave my job at Achilles’ company.Well, I didn’t work anyway. It was a joke in the name of a job. I needed to see through my college application and apply for one as soon as I could. But maybe first I needed to get my life together first, eh?I received a message so I picked my phone to check. It was from Stefan.“Hey. Heard you got discharged. How you feeling?”“Better, I think,” I texted back. “Kinda hard to tell when I don’t remember how I felt for the past month.”“You don’t remember?”“No,” I said.He took a while before texting again. “You wanna meet for lunch?”“Sure. You here?”“Yeah. How’s the coffee shop on 7th Avenue Street?”“Works for me.”“Cool, meet you at 2.”“Okay.”I shook my head and decided to manage my place for the rest of the time. I had so much to catch up on.

    Carlos’ Point of View: “Yeah, yeah. I remember. The purple blinders for the room, got it.” I laughed and said to Jo, who was on the other side of the phone in her cabin, still at the company. “Yeah!” She laughed back. “I’ve missed you.” “I didn’t,” I replied and watched her nod in sarcasm. “Carlos, baby, you’ve been dying the past months.” I chuckled. “That’s overdoing it.”“So when are you gonna ask me to move in?” She smirked. A smile formed on my lips. “Well—”“I mean, I’d probably wait for you know, the formality of spending months together before booking a very special place and then, the whole shenanigans, and then you’d give me the key, but we really don’t have that kind of time.” I exhaled, putting up a fake smile. It was now… kind of easy for her to talk about her condition. She’d bring it up, laugh it off. Maybe she had time to adjust—adjust? How can someone adjust to the news of them dying? — but she had. She really didn’t feel pity for herself, or got sad, at least n

    Achilles’ Point of View:I went back to my apartment as I made an anonymous tip to the police that somehow the rich billionaire had died. It was already over two hours, and Isabelle was probably waiting for me, so I didn’t want to waste any more time trying to clear up the mess at the mansion. My people had already managed the security tapes and the fingerprints.As soon as I reached my place and went inside, Isabelle ran up to me and hugged me. “Achilles.”“Hey,” I smiled at her. “Everything’s gonna be fine now.”She was confused at my words. I didn’t really know how she would react to this. I mean, she knew I was no saint and I had killed hundreds while working as a mafia leader, but right now I had murdered my own father and without any Mafia influence.But I couldn’t hide it. No more secrets. I had to tell her if I wanted her to trust me.“I killed my father.” Those words rolled out of my tongue, leaving her stunned.Her eyes widened. “What?”“Yes.”She took a few minutes as she st

    Achilles’ Point of View:“She didn’t cheat on you, Achilles!” Lucy shouted and my eyes snapped in her direction.“What are you saying?” I asked, my mind fogged by the words she was speaking. I didn’t want to talk about her, or the topic she was speaking on—let alone made me question the reality.“She told me. She told me that Mr. Roman had forced her to say that to you. And I know that I wasn’t supposed to tell you this, but I couldn’t bear to know the truth and still go home to my husband while you didn’t get to go home to your wife. She told me that she had to do it because your father said that if she didn’t, he’d kill you.” She said in one breath as she looked at me.

I slowly managed to stand on my feet, still lunging forward like a junkie.“Who—who was the highest bidder? Do you know?” I asked as I was dying to know who I was supposed to be a slave for.She smiled. “No one told me who it was, but whoever it was gave the highest money to the main mafia bank and set you free.”“What?” I thought she was kidding.“Yes,” She smiled again, this time wider. “There was an anonymous message on the table just after the bidding. It was to me, and it said that I should let you know that the highest bidder had

    Isabelle’s Point of View:“She gets one wish before fulfilling her punishment, boss,” One of the men pointed out as the guards were dragging me away from the main room, and I saw that it was Romero.I looked over at Achilles who was staring right at me, his face stone cold. “What do you want?” He asked me across the room and I took a deep breath. I didn’t want anything but one thing—and this was probably the last chance I’d get.“I want to talk to Lucy once. In private.”He was confused at my request, but didn’t think about it much. “Let her. I will give you one hour. Her punishment will continue after that,” he looked at his men mid-conversation and then walked out of the room

    Isabelle’s Point of View:I was on the ground, barely able to breathe. I didn’t know that hurting him would hurt me so much, I was out of my mind. My heart was shattering with every passing second thinking of the pain I had caused, my tears falling relentlessly.Mr. Roman wouldn’t have asked me to do this without making sure it could be supported by proof. I was sure he did something for that too. Achilles was going to hate me all over again. This time it was going to be even worse. And I… I wouldn’t be able to tell him how much I actually love him and would die for him, and would have to just stand there to take it.God, I had never felt this low in my entire life.It took him three hours—three hours before he knocke

    Isabelle’s Point of View:“What’s wrong, Isabelle?” I heard mom say as she came out of the room and caught up with me. I was still in a daze from the conversation with Mr. Roman, cursing his name to the highest degree and replaying the conversation I was supposed to have with Achilles now.“Isabelle?” She called out again, finally getting my attention.“Oh, mom!” I said as my trail of thoughts ended. She looked at me, confused.“Where are you lost? I thought after your talk with Achilles, things would be better, no?” she asked, her voice laced with obvious concern.“Uh…” I exhaled. There was no use telling her what was happenin

    Isabelle’s Point of View:After spending three hours of a very… amazing time with Achilles, he told me that he had to go back to the war. This time, it wasn’t as bad as when I heard the first time he left. Obviously, he bid me goodbye in the best way a person can, after meeting with mom and then paying a visit to the basement. It was as if everything was normal again, even though I just sent my husband in one of the most difficult mafia wars.I still couldn’t completely understand what happened. He was suddenly way more angry at me than he normally would be, and then now he was suddenly sorry?I guess I couldn’t judge a man like him against the parameters of a normal person. At the end of the day, I had to admit that I couldn’t be happier that I practically got him back. All my thoughts were killing me, and now it’s been quiet. A silent

No. What part of ‘I still love you’ screams ‘I want a divorce’ to you?” I said, my breath running out. She opened her eyes and looked at me, her eyes bearing an unreadable expression.“I just—I thought you were letting me down easy. Saying you still—you still loved me but…”“No,” I said and pulled her closer again, holding on to her and trying to reassure her. “God, Isabelle. I love you. No buts. No conditions. No complications.”I could feel her sob against me

    Achilles’ Point of View:After thinking for a few minutes, I walked over to Lucy’s room and knocked on her door. She had been here with Isabelle all this time, so she must know her feelings best. I knew I had to apologise to Isabelle, but the more I knew about how she felt, the better it would be.Lucy opened the door, shocked to see me. We barely ever interacted, and if we did, it was to convey a message to someone.“B-boss?” She asked with a little uncertainty and I exhaled.“I need to talk to you about something. Come in my room,” I said as I walked over to my room. I didn’t want to talk to her there because Isabelle might see us but I didn’t wanna barge in her private space either.As we reached my room, it was obvious she was scared and worried about what I wanted to talk about. “Relax. This is about Isabelle.”She nodded slowly, a load of tension leaving her forehead. “Have a seat,” I offered as I sat down on one of the chairs and gestured toward one from across to me.She sat d
