Thank you for reading
Camilla I stare at the mirror as the girl Luca took me to fixes my hair. I had to change and get new makeup in spite of what he said and I don't know what I feel about that. " What do you think?" She asks kindly. Her work is amazing and I definitely look better than I did earlier, "I love it thank you." I respond softly. She removes the towel that was wrapped around me as she smiles, "You're welcome. " "Thank you, G." Luca's voice echoes and I turn to see them exchange hugs, and a feeling of jealousy twists in my stomach. G? They're on a nickname basis? It's none of my business. I try to convince myself but as I walk out to the car, my heart clenches painfully. Jealousy is a disease and I don't want to feel it. I try as much as I can to ignore the feeling and as Luca sits next to me, I can't help but shift uncomfortably. "Are you okay?" He asks in a deep low voice and for a minute, it feels like it's not me he is talking to. "Yes. I'm alright." I smile faintly and he mo
Luca Her face looks at me with a shocked expression and I am not even surprised because it has shocked me too. What the Fuck I'm doing I don't know but all I know is I will kill anyone who dares to lay a finger on this woman. I don't care who it may be. "GET THE FUCK OUT!" I growl and the whores run out like headless chickens. Everyone in this room knows better than to cross me. I'm not a patient man, consequences be damned. I pull her shivering form toward me as I hold her close." I told you to stand where I could see you. You jumped and tried to claw on my face a few weeks back but you were scared of low-life whores?" She tries to suppress her laughter but she fails terribly. Her sound comes like music to my ears and I don't pose another question because I don't want her to stop laughing. It's the first time I've seen her laugh carefreely and the sight is heavenly. "Logic will surpass strength any day." She finally says as she catches her breath and I smile along. We st
Camilla I find Ella sitting by the bar area with a faint smile playing on her lips,’’ What happened? I thought you said you wouldn’t attend.’’ I remind her and she smiles but it doesn’t reach her eyes. ‘’I wasn’t going to but Adrian said I should be the one to give you this news.’’ She turns and avoids my eyes and she takes a sip of her drink and I sit next to her. I take the drink from her and drink from it because I know she wouldn’t poison herself and as if reading my mind, ‘’You think I came to poison you?’’ she laughs and I nod. ‘’You never know. You look like shit and I once betrayed you. It could be a sign for payback.’’ I joke although I mean every word. She is a Moretti now and knowing his mother, I know a lot is expected from her, ‘’So how is your hero?’’ I tease and she laughs a real laugh this time.’’To think that woman was the one who saved my life is still a shock for me.’’ she admits and I agree with her. ‘’It’s a shock for real because she worked closely with So
Camilla My mind is foggy and I can’t seem to remember most of what happened because of my split headache. I’m lying in Luca’s bed without knowing how I got here. Flashes of the previous night hit me here and there but that is all I manage to put up. ‘’Your family’s debt has been written off but You need to leave.’’ Ella’s words echo in my mind and I can’t help but get so angry. Am I really that low that they want to get rid of me like a disease? A soft knock makes me look up and Ella is standing there with a look of worry on her face, ‘’Hey.’’ she waves slightly. ‘’Hey,’’ I answer back and she smiles a small smile. ‘’Can I come in?’’ She asks and I roll my eyes but I nod. She walks in and shocks me by wrapping her arms around me so tightly as she cries on my shoulder. I laugh as I hug her back, ‘’I’m not dying you know.’’ I assure her that people in Canada have beating hearts and are alive too. Am I seriously considering this? My mind races and I can’t seem to make a decision
Luca I stare at my father and my blood is about to burst from anger. Just when I think he can’t stoop lower, he shocks me all over again. I received a call and I came driving at a crazy speed only to find that it was his little setup. ‘’Do you really have so much time on your hands to waste?’’ I sneer and he just chuckles like there is something to be amused by. ‘’I wanted to prove a point to your brother when he didn’t believe me.’’ He continues to smile which only makes me angrier. My gun is in my back pocket and we both know that I can pull the trigger without even blinking, ‘’Give me a good reason why I shouldn’t kill you.’’ ‘’Oh please Luca, You are no longer the heartless man you were born. She has changed you. Look at you, came here at the speed of light just because a random girl called you. Do you even know Cassie’s voice?’’ He asks and we both know the answer to that question. ‘’I haven’t changed. Maybe you’d like me to prove it?’’ I growl. My grip tightens around the ha
Camilla We are in a boutique and I have no idea what I’m looking for. Ella was kind enough to pick up my young sister secretly so she could join us especially since she has been through a lot. She jumps excitedly as she picks up a dress, ‘’Hey Cami! Do you think this suits Canada?’’ Cassie's enthusiasm is contagious, and for a moment, I forget about the complexities of my life. I look at the dress she's holding—a vibrant mix of colors, a stark contrast to the elegant, muted tones that surround us. It’s a cute little dress. "It's perfect for Canada, Cassie," I say, ruffling her hair. Her eyes light up with joy, and I can't help but smile. Ella watches us with warmth in her eyes, appreciating the bond between sisters. We exchange silent conversations and I mouth a ‘’thank you.’’ to her which she blows me kisses for. The three of us continue our shopping spree, weaving through racks of clothing, trying on various outfits, and exchanging laughter. It's a rare moment of simplicity ami
Camila The private jet is sleek and luxurious, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. I find myself settled in a plush seat, gazing out of the window at the airport lights slowly fading into the distance. Cassie sits beside me, her eyes wide with excitement, unaware of the fight in my heart. My mind keeps drifting back to Luca and back to the moments we shared. The fights, the sex the connection. If he was toying with my feelings, then he was really good at it because every moment felt special to me. I can’t help but wonder if this sudden separation was intentional or merely a consequence of the fun we had. I knew we could never work but the extent to which they have gotten rid of me is a shock., ‘’Excuse me, ‘’ I call to one of the men sitting and he approaches me. Shockingly he is very respectful as he responds, ‘’Yes ma’am. How can I help you?’’ ‘’Who gave the order to use this private jet?’’ I ask the curiosity growing and burning inside me. He takes
Camilla I don’t know how much time has passed since I woke up. That woman’s words still echo in my mind. What did she mean? I’m not even running away.! They made me leave the country for crying out loud. I sigh as I stand from the bed to take a quick shower. Today is my first day at work and I’m very nervous. I don’t know what position I’ll be given but I hope it pays enough. I look at my young sister sleeping soundly without a care in the world. That is exactly the life I want for her. Where I shield her from anything that might harm her. I walk to the shower so that I’m not late on my first day. I don't know what this new country has in store for me. Uncertainty doesn't scare me because that has always been a part of my life. What scares me are the feelings that I keep trying to get rid of but the harder I try the worse they get. Last night I dreamt of our first time. How he took me from the stage with my mask on. How he got so addicted to seeing me and being inside me. It was
