Please, Mr Giordano 78
MooreSomeone must have opened the curtains because the harsh rays of sunlight hit my face, searing through my closed eyelids and pulling me out of the depths of sleep. I could feel a gnawing hunger building in my stomach, an undeniable reminder that I had to wake up. There was no avoiding it. I opened my eyes, squinting against the sudden brightness.At first, everything was blurry. I turned my head on the bed, trying to figure out where I was. It didn’t look familiar. The soft, luxurious sheets beneath me were different from anything I’d slept in before. Slowly, my vision cleared, and I saw a woman standing near the bed, dressed in a simple yet elegant uniform, just like the domestic workers at the mansion."Loretta?" I mumbled, my voice groggy and thick from sleep."Good morning, Mrs. Giordano," the woman said in a soft, polite tone. Her voice was sweet, yet it sounded unfamiliar, one I swore I had never heard before.I blinked, still not fully awake, as I rubbed my face, trying to

LucienI had never slept like that before.Deep. Uninterrupted.It was unsettling. Right after Ava died, I haven't been able to sleep for more than an hour.I would have woken up to nightmares about how she was hit by a running vehicle, a man who had long ceased breathing. I'll have dreams of how the doctors tried to save her.Those had haunted me for ever!Waking up and seeing Moore beside me was a shock I hadn't prepared for. I wasn’t the kind of man who could fall asleep easily, let alone stay asleep for more than an hour. And yet, I had spent over seven hours in bed, undisturbed, with her beside me.I sat up on the bed, my eyes on her peaceful face. Not only did I wrapped her up in my arms, I had my head snuggled right into her hair.I ran a hand through my hair, my mind replaying the events of the previous night.She had fallen asleep on my shoulder in the car, barely a few minutes after taking the painkillers. I had been taken aback when her head hit my shoulder so effortlessly,

Lucien“The app is doing well sir,” Greg’s voice came through the phone. “We’re seeing excellent returns after just a few hours. The public’s responding better than we anticipated.”“Good,” I replied, trying to sound neutral, though my mind was far from it. “I’ll be back in the office tomorrow.”Greg chuckled. “So, you’re just waking up, you sa—”“Shut up,” I said, ending the call before he could end whatever it's he wanted to say. I wasn’t in the mood for his teasing. Just before I could fully concentrate on the view outside the building, I shove my sleeves up a little more, my hair messy as I hadn't combed or do anything just yet.Carolina , one of the staffs walked downstairs towards me. “Are you ready for breakfast now sir?”I tilted my head a little. “Is Moore up?”She raised her eyes, possibly wondering who Moore was. “We don't have two females sleeping in my room Carol, do we?” “Oh, no sir.” She said quickly, bowing while her face twitched with regrets. “I'm so sorry, I

Athena“I’ve told you already, Athena. Bring me that guy you were caught kissing, or you’ll marry the man I choose for you.”My father’s voice thundered through his office, laced with authority and finality.I stood before him, arms crossed, barely holding in my frustration. How many times did I have to repeat myself? I didn’t know the man in the photo. It had been a mistake, a fleeting, meaningless moment, yet my father clung to it like a scandalous crime.The stranger had yet to make himself known, lurking in the shadows while I bore the brunt of the consequences.I had been on my way to the hospital when his call came through, demanding my presence immediately. As if my life revolved around his whims.Not that my life was in order anyways.Lucien hadn’t spoken to me in days. He had given Moore, Moore absolute power, while I was left stranded in silence. And now, the stranger I had spent a single night with had the audacity to send me my own nudes. My own.He had been on my neck, se

AthenaMoore was carried by Lucien!I stared at my phone, frozen.The image burned into my mind like a cruel joke, one I couldn't wake up from. My grip tightened around the device as my anger swelled, boiling over with every second I continued to look.The headline at the top of the article taunted me, even though my name wasn’t mentioned.“Billionaire elite Lucien Giordano spotted outside his launch event carrying his once-disgraced wife in his arms. Has he finally forgiven her for the humiliation she caused him six years ago?”Wife… why do they call him his wife? Moore is no wife to Lucien!I scrolled, unable to take my eyes away, another one followed.“Enemies to lovers? Has the great Lucien Giordano rekindled his past love with Moore?”My breath hitched. I felt like the air had been knocked out of my lungs.No.This wasn’t the Lucien I knew. There was no way in hell he would do that for Moore. For her.Lucien never looked at her the way he looked at me.He had never carried me bef

Moore"It pays to be a billionaire’s wife. Only someone with such status will resume work three weeks after her first day," Brittany sneered, her sharp eyes narrowing in disgust.I remembered my first day at this hospital vividly—Brittany had hurled insult after insult at me.Now, nothing had changed.I glanced at her, my expression blank, radiating an indifference I knew would only piss her off more.I don’t give a damn what you think about me.I wasn’t here for Brittany or anyone else. I was looking for one person.Ethan.It felt like months since I last came here. The memories of that day were still raw, still bleeding.I had stopped coming after Ethan had given me those jackets, a moment of kindness that had cost me dearly.Lucien had punished me for it.By dragging Athena to his bedroom.By making me watch. He had also had me whipped the next morning, rendering my body useless while he also made sure my clothes, the very one I and Lillard got were burned.A violent shudder ran do

Moore"You’re just determined to make Georgia hate you, aren’t you?" I said, glancing at Ethan as we walked side by side through the hospital hallway. His hands were full, carrying all the cleaning supplies like it was nothing."Well, I don’t give two fucks about her," he replied without hesitation, his tone cool and indifferent.I sighed, shaking my head. "You really don’t seem to understand that she likes you."Ethan shot me a sideways glance, his expression unreadable. "Are you interceding for her? That’s a shame." His voice was serious, but I caught the slight amusement beneath it.I frowned. "What? No. I just think you’re usually good at reading a room. This whole act of yours is only making her hate me more, though." I shrugged, resting my hands behind my back as we continued walking.Ethan ducked his head slightly, his piercing gaze settling on me. "Do you want her to like you?"I blinked, momentarily thrown off by his directness. It was unexpected. Ethan wasn’t exactly the typ

If it were Lucien, he wouldn’t have bothered with something as simple as waiting outside. He would have walked in like he owned the damn place, his presence enough to silence a room.Lillard? Possibly. But what reason did he have to meet me so urgently?I sighed, slipping my phone back into my uniform pocket as I made my way toward the exit.

MooreA heavy warmth pressed against my side, anchoring me in place. My body stirred, still sluggish with sleep, but the unfamiliar weight around my waist sent a jolt of awareness through me.My eyes fluttered open. The ceiling above me was different. The scent in the air was rich cedar and something distinctly masculine. Wasn’t mine. A slow, creeping dread settled in my gut.I stirred again, shifting slightly, but the moment my vision cleared, I was met with the strikingly beautiful features of a man.My brows furrowed in confusion. What…?Tilting my head slightly to get a better look, my breath caught in my throat.Lucien.Lucien was fucking lying next to me. How on earth is that even possible?My breath hitched. His arm was wrapped securely around my waist, holding me against him like I belonged there.Panic shot through me like lightning. How the hell did I end up in the same bed as him?His face, even in sleep, was carved with the kind of ruthless beauty that could make anyone fo
