Thank you for reading
Camilla The ride back home all goes in a blur and I don’t even know how I walk up to my room. ‘’Earth to Camilla.’’ Melody snaps her fingers and I smile. ‘’Hey.’’ She pulls me into my room. ‘’You look like you were hit by a truck.’’ she teases as she takes the bags from my hands and I shrug. ‘’Having a party without me?’’ Ella’s voice comes through and Melody stands right away. ‘’Mrs. Moretti.’’ she addresses her respectfully and only then does it hit me that she is not of our level now. But I'm sure she will always be her sweet self. It is us who will have a hard time adjusting. ‘’Oh no! Please call me Ella. Please, I insist. I hope you won’t change how you treat me just because I got married to Adrian.’’ She says and I smile. Of course we will, I say to myself. Adrian will have our heads on a platter. Melody shifts uncomfortably but remains silent. ‘’So, dinner huh?’’ ‘’It came as a surprise even to me.’’ I try to explain before they both think otherwise. ‘’Show us the b
Luca The feeling inside me keeps throwing me off the radar. I don’t know if she meant what she said or if she was simply joking but it still angered me heavily. As I wait downstairs for her to come I can’t help but wonder, ‘’What the fuck are you up to A?’’ Adrian just shrugs as he leans on the wall next to me. ‘’ Playing matchmaker.’’ He responds sarcastically.’’ ‘’Why the fuck would a Don play matchmaker? Don’t you have better things to do?’’ Curiosity grows inside me as I try to understand what he is truly up to. But one thing is for sure, I’m very irritated. ‘’We have a board meeting tomorrow. Don’t forget.’’He responds. Ignoring my question completely. I’m about to curse at him when a sound of heels rings through the air and I look up. Everything is in slow motion for a while as I watch Camilla descend the stairs. She is a vision in red which makes my breath catch in my throat. The elegant gown clings to her curves, the color complementing her olive skin in a way that is
Camilla My breath catches as I watch the intensity in his eyes. I'm thrown back and I don't know how to take the turn of events. I promised myself I would get over this man but him standing this close and asking me to go to the dinner naked just for him doesn't only turn me on, but it also throws me off my track to recovery. "Right here?" I whisper like a fool. I should be screaming and cursing at him. He runs his forefinger on my collarbone with his signature touch and I shiver slightly, "Right here." He whispers back in his hoarse voice. Trusting no one is coming, I move three steps backward and lock my eyes on him as I slowly start to pull my panties down. "Fuck! That's so hot!" He curses under his breath and it makes me so wet to see him turned on by me. "Maybe we shouldn't go." I try to seduce him but he just shakes his head. He walks toward me and closes the gap then pulls me to him before he speaks, "As much as I would want that to happen, baby girl, we have to go."
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
