Things have returned to their natural course.

Nicole Santoro is back to being the sharp-tongued, grumpy, stubborn secretary who insists on challenging me whenever she can. This has allowed me to focus on what is my priority, which is the business. I’m stressed from the turbulent weeks full of ups and downs, but at least everything is going according to my plan.

I hear a knock on the door and authorize entry into the automated system, focusing only on the documents on the computer screen. As I read the last paragraph of the page, I remember the presence of the person I authorized. When I see the look on David Johnson's face, I know the shit is coming. He walks up to me with his hands in his pants pockets.

"Good morning, David. Do you have the contracts?" I ask, getting straight to the point, taking off my reading glasses and placing them on the table.

"Mr. Salvatore, I had a last-minute problem with my team, and they couldn’t meet the demands on you, but..."

    "Shut the hell up! I know how controlling and bossy you can be, and I bet that's what makes this place so intimidating.""Eleanor doesn't hesitate to berate me in front of Nicole, who stifles a laugh because she enjoys seeing me in a tight skirt. It's fortunate that most of the staff steer clear of my office, so fewer people witness the CEO being scolded like a child by his mother.""I am very good with his genius, Mrs. Salvatore," Nicole says, giving me a sharp look that makes Mom chuckle."Perfect! That's exactly what he needs. Do you have a car, darling? Can I give you a ride?""I didn't come by car today, but I don't need one either, ma'am..."I frown in surprise because I know Nicole has a car and usually drives it. She avoids looking at me, instead smiling sweetly and kindly at my mother. I know she's serious, as she cannot feign sympathy for anyone—not even for the person who pays her salary, which in this case is me."I insist. We can drop it off on the way, can't we, son?""O

    Travel with Valentin. Okay, I can manage it without harming him. I will try. I have a family that needs me. Moreover, I can't afford to go to jail right now. That would be a huge problem, and it's all I can handle, so I have to make it work. It's going to be five full days in the company of the most unpleasant man I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. Oh, well. Maybe not the most, but certainly one of them. He's challenging to deal with, and I never know what to expect from his temper. I just hope he will be nice on this trip. I keep my fingers crossed and watch the clock tick by as I wait. He has said that I don't need to go into the office, that his driver will stop here, and we can head straight to the airport. So I'm ready, with two bags packed, because since madness is unpredictable, I have to be prepared for anything. You can drive me crazy, but you will not make me ugly, even if you try. I glance in the small mirror I have in my room f

    "We'll land in a few minutes," he announces, glancing at me with a slight smile. "I can almost picture you asleep. You look like an angel." "Don't be fooled." "I wouldn't dare. I said almost," he replies, smiling faintly, and I release a sigh. This Valentin, almost... cute, intimidates me more than the unpleasant, arrogant one who always goes out of his way to annoy me. When the pilot announces our descent, my boss closes his notebook and stows it in his pocket. He fastens his seatbelt and gestures toward mine, which is loose. I catch him too, still half-asleep, and smooth my hair, which I left loose and tousled from my nap. Valentin watches me openly, and I let out a frustrated sigh, feeling exposed, because he’s staring at me more than usual. Is he plotting something sinister? What if this trip is just a cover for him to eliminate me and hide my body somewhere no one would find it? No, that would be too obvious. Everyone knows

    It was a great idea to bring Nicole with me on this trip. Initially, it felt like the best decision. I wasn't lying when I said she is one of the few people in that company who brings me problems already solved. I know she's well compensated for it, but Nicole consistently goes above and beyond her responsibilities. Handling work-related issues, while ignoring the splinter exchanges, is, of course, easy. Your competence supports me, and I believe that's why I kept you as my secretary for as long as I could. Even though I know it's a very minor role for her, my selfish side hesitated to let her go so soon. However, I understand that the time to release her for her continued development is approaching, and I shouldn't feel sad about it. I will miss the busy days, your blunt remarks, and playful provocations. I might sound masochistic saying that, but the certainty of having her to break my routine makes my days less stressful. "What's the plan for t

    "What proposal?" Nicole asks."A truce. We're in a good place, with a pleasant climate, and about to finalize two lucrative contracts, so there's no reason we can't get along. Then, if you want, we can return to normal.""Will you stop being an asshole? And arrogant? And bossy? And...""All right, all right, I understand. I'll try. You're stronger than I am. Changing one's personality is tough, Miss Sharp Tongue.""Okay," she agrees, laughing, much lighter than she usually is in the office. I must admit, this version of Nicole is even more captivating than the others. "I know I'm not easy. We can give it a shot. I'll try too, for the sake of these five days.""We have a deal, Miss Santoro." I raise my hand to her, and she stares at me for a few seconds before taking it. The soft, warm touch sends shivers through my body, but I mask it well, as touching her stirs something within me.We stroll along the avenue lined with restaurants and quickly choose on

    I will deny all the events of this trip until the last days of my life. I will never admit to anyone that I spent an entire day with Valentin Salvatore. Furthermore, I will claim that I was abducted and swapped for another human being.There is no way this man could be fun! I refuse to accept that he made me laugh during the afternoon we shared. I'm blaming that truce, but I didn't feel like telling him to go fuck himself even once! This is a significant victory for our relationship.As we arrive at the hotel, already at dusk, after visiting several museums, a zoo, and a botanical garden, I feel as happy and light as I haven't felt in a long time. I'm saying it's not normal! I spent the day with my boss, and I'm feeling good. What the hell is this parallel universe?"The day got dark, and I didn't even notice," he says, smiling charmingly, because I may be crazy, but I sensed that Valentin flirted with me discreetly all day. I played dumb, of course, because it

    I smile back, and he refocuses on the computer. I glance at him occasionally and catch him staring at me, unabashedly. Furthermore, I notice when he closes the screen and stands up, approaching me."At the risk of sounding pretentious, a woman like you shouldn't dine alone.""Who said I'm alone?" I reply to Faceira, and I see him hesitate for a moment. "A gentleman has just arrived to keep me company."When he grasps my playful pick-up line, the formally dressed man also smiles and takes a seat in the chair across from mine. He introduces himself as Charles Bianchi and gallantly holds my fingers, kissing the tips. The man is older and handsome, making me feel like I'm in a movie. I dare to dream that I belong in this world. I say my name just before I withdraw my hand."What brings you here, Nicole?""Nothing too exciting." Just work."And who says work can't be fun? Look, in the midst of it all, I ended up finding you."The man is ch

    Damn it! I messed everything up!I ruined what I had managed to avoid for years in just one day. All because of a single damn day. If there's any justification, it was a memorable one, where I saw a side of Nicole that I knew existed, but it was the first time it emerged because of me. She was cheerful, light, and playful with me.I flirted with her; she pretended to be crazy, but she didn't reject me. There was no physical contact, but it felt nice as if there had been. I didn't need that to feel excited to be in the company of my secretary. Then, in minutes, I threw everything down the drain because of a fucking misplaced jealousy.I hated seeing her smile at that motherfucker as she had smiled at me earlier. I hated that Nicole quickly found in someone else what I denied her. Moreover, I regretted turning down the dinner invitation, but it was too late when I realized it.Damn, I can't remember feeling as pissed off as when I saw her sitting at that ta

    I'm lying on the mattress, reading Gia Walton's latest release, with tears in my eyes because it's ending and I don't want to say goodbye to the couple, when Valentin appears there, wearing only sweatpants."He slept. I'm getting better and better at it. She sleeps with my voice.""That's because you sing too bad, and she'd rather sleep than hear you go out of tune," I tease, abandoning the Kindle aside because I have much better entertainment here in front of me."Funny." Was she crying? Your nose is red.""Yes, another couple leaving." I point to the device, and the worried expression gives way to a silly smile. "But I love to remind myself that my reality is so much better than theirs."I pull him to me by the rope of his pants, and he positions his body on top of mine. Valentin opens the arrogant and asshole smile that I learned to love because it's my arrogant and asshole smile. It was always mine alone."It's better, hmm?" Do you know

    "I researched him," he confesses, his voice full of hatred. "I wanted to take revenge without you being involved, but I was late."I saw that he was murdered in a robbery."Yes, karma, I think. The complaint was of no use, but at least I am happy to believe that there is justice coming from elsewhere. It doesn't hurt me to talk about it anymore, only the bitterness of impotence remains, you know?""I can't even imagine, baby."Valentin holds my face and smoother it with the tip of his nose, making me feel loved, cherished, and adored. He kisses me slowly, sucking my lips, just to turn me on."Thank you for showing up," I thank you when I walk away. "You were my cure, my relief. You were my point of peace, if that makes sense, since you turned my life into chaos.""I love to see you mad." It excites me to this day.""Naughty.""You were my point of peace too. Only you were able to disconnect me from work. When I entered the room

    There's a little doll in my arms that I can't believe is mine. Every minute I have free, I look at it and enjoy the perfect details. Lily was born two weeks ago, a little short of nine months, in the middle of the workday, much to Valentin's dismay. He didn't know if he was fighting with me because he was still working or if he was helping me. It was pure chaos, but it couldn't be different in our relationship.I smooth the delicate face of our little one. The hair is dark, full of curls. The eyes, for now, do not have a defined color, but the shape looks like Valentin's. I don't know who drools over her more, him, me, or our family. Today was a visiting day, and I can hear the laughter downstairs, while I breastfeed the little one in her room so that she doesn't get scared by the excitement."You are my perfection, my love. Knew? I never thought I would love being a mother so much. It's weird to like something that makes me tear my hair out, but being your mommy is th

    "I love you, my goddess. I've loved you for too long and it was hard to have to keep that phrase for fear of it being too soon. I'm not going to lie that you turned me into an insecure man, I was afraid you would run away from me. If I avoided looking at you, it's because it was hard for me not to touch you too. You are beautiful, hot, perfect.""I wouldn't run away, Valentin. I married you.""Under pressure, after a lot of insistence," I joke, and she nods, putting her small hand on my face, and smoothing her beard."Deep down, I wanted to. But I was always scared by the idea of giving myself to someone like that. And you've always scared me too much, Valentin. The way it always appeared in my head, even when I wanted to hate you, was terrifying. After we got involved, soon came the pregnancy and everything came together. I wanted to maintain an emotional distance, but I also wanted you. It was all very intense, fast, confusing.""The best things are the

    Holy shit, Nicole is going to drive me crazy. If I thought I was paying for my sins earlier, at the beginning of my pregnancy, I had no idea what awaited me in the coming months. What a stubborn woman! If she was already bursting, with a difficult temper, complaining and stubborn, it got much worse. Although I find it funny when she is all disheveled after cursing me quite properly, I worry about the stress she goes through at this point in her pregnancy. I'm afraid she'll be stressed to the point of having a premature birth, for example. But does she listen to me? He doesn't listen to me."Nicole, for God's sake!" It's already two o'clock in the morning, you don't need to look at that again" I complain, seeing her concentrated on the computer screen of the office that she has in our house, her huge belly already seven months old, looking like she has two children growing there.But it's only one, our little girl. Finding out that I was going to be the father of a girl, back in the fi

    I go around the house, still getting a little lost with the corridors because it's huge. I recorded some things, like the picture on the wall in the hallway of the bedrooms, but it's still hard to get by. I find my room and pick up a few things I think I'll need after I change my clothes, following Valentin's suggestion to wear a lingerie set to shower.When I return to the outside area of the house, he is no longer there, and I wait for him for a few minutes until he returns."Shall we?" He appears all hot, shirtless, with black shorts and sunglasses on his face."Of course."He guides me along the path that leads to the beach, and I already start to smell the sea. I smile and close my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun touch my skin. I love all of this very much. The sun, the sea, the good memories they bring me."It's good to see you happy," Valentin says next to me, also smiling."It's good to be happy.""If it's up to me, that's

    Everyone was surprised by my marriage out of nowhere, but I needed it to be like this to be able to continue with this insanity. Yes, I still think this is all crazy, especially when Valentin is taking it very seriously about being a marriage more for convenience than for anything else. I thought that, after we were in the same environment, without him having to insist that I stay, he would rip my clothes and fuck me anyway. But Valentin insisted on putting me in a separate room.It leaves me confused.Now I married someone who will never eat me again, that is, my previously hectic sex life is over. My pussy is going to create cobwebs."Shut up," she says as she prepares our breakfast, all delicious as always cooking.Poor me, having to watch Valentin walking around shirtless and not being able to take even a cone off him. I don't understand the reason for your physical distancing, but I've thought about so many things that I couldn't reach a consensus. H

    I focus on the preparation of our food and feel her eyes watching me as I work with my back to her. I'm being cowardly, running away from the beautiful sight that this woman is because I'm horny fucked by her. I can try to hide it, but it will be difficult to be around her without showing how much I love her."You know, there's an advantage in this pregnancy that it happened now. I turn to her when I hear the sad, curious tone of voice.""And what would it be?""My mother," she says so vulnerably that she makes me drop what I'm doing to listen to her more carefully. "She has Multiple Sclerosis. We found out at the same time I joined LDrinks. Some time ago, it seemed like a death sentence, you know? In my mind, I wasn't going to have my mother for long. She wasn't going to be her anymore. Today, I deal with it better, but it's hard not to be able to predict how it's going to be."How long will she walk, talk, and see?

    No man loses by being insistent on the things that matter to him. I persevered and got what I wanted. Nicole married me.Not the way I imagined, but he accepted. She just wanted a quick trip to the registry office, without any family members, just the witnesses, who were Nat and Benjamin. Because she didn't want to make a fuss, according to her. I wanted to try to make her change her mind and accept having a big wedding, the way she deserved, but I was afraid she would give up on marrying me. So, I accepted his condition.As always, the woman surprised me. On a random day, in the middle of the workday, she said she would marry me. Needless to say, I couldn't work for the rest of the day, just thinking about it.Today, at the end of the afternoon, we finally signed the papers, and now we are arriving at my house. In our house, from now on.We stopped by Nicole's apartment to pick up the basics, because then I'll ask a team to go there to pack everything an
