Revenge Business 06. Bianca's secret
"Here."I held the warm cup that Masato had offered me, but I couldn’t bring myself to look him in the eyes as I muttered a quiet thank you. We were in my apartment, settled in the living room.The expression on the man’s face in front of me was one of indignation, fury, concern... and something else, something I couldn’t quite pinpoint. Trembling, I took a sip of the tea."Are you... alright?"I nodded, still unable to look at him."Thank you." My voice came out hoarse and weak, so I took another sip and cleared my throat before continuing, "Thank you for saving me."Scenes of the unknown man trying to force himself on me flashed through my mind. I took a deep breath, trying not to panic at the painful memories."Why did you leave my apartment like that?"I looked at him angrily."Because you were treating me like a..." I couldn’t finish the sentence."Like a what, Bianca?" Masato pressed."Like an investment. Like an object. But I understand your reasons. We have an agreement, and I
Revenge Business 07. Bianca's secret, part 2
The air seemed to get heavier when I saw Masato standing in the hospital corridor. My body tensed and my heart raced. His expression wasn't exactly one of anger. In fact, there was no expression on his face at all. A professional mask of boredom; that's what he was displaying at the moment.Carmelia was still crying next to me, but I had to confront him. I stood up slowly, without letting go of her hand."I'll be right back," I muttered, giving her hand a little squeeze. She looked at me, confused, but nodded, still lost in her pain.I walked towards Masato, feeling my steps getting heavier and heavier as I approached. When I stopped in front of him, his expression didn't change. He looked at me as if he expected an explanation."Why did you follow me?" I asked, keeping my voice low but firm.He crossed his arms, without taking his eyes off mine. "What exactly is going on, Bianca?"I lifted my chin imperceptibly."A personal problem, which I'm already sorting out.""Personal problem?
Revenge Business 08. Thomas's wife
Sitting on Thomas' imposing leather sofa in his huge, elegant mansion, I nervously looked at the fingers on my hands. They were steady now, but last night they had been shaking terribly.Memories of the hospital flashed through my mind like a fog: the head doctor telling Carmelia and me that Mom would now be in the hospital's special ward, in palliative care. That she might not survive for more than two months. And that we'd better prepare ourselves, both emotionally and financially, for what was to follow.Funeral and burial.When I came out of the room where Mom was, accompanied by Carmelia, Masato was still there. He politely greeted my sister, who preferred not to ask me any questions, and offered to give us both a lift home. Carmelia refused, saying she was driving, and said goodbye, leaving us alone. However, I refused to say anything to Masato, who left me at home on a silent and uncomfortable journey.I could barely sleep at night. But, well, there I was. Ready to get to know

Thomas's entrance was like a breath of cold air in the stifling room. Eva's cruel smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly pulled herself together, throwing him a disdainful glance."Nothing much, dear. Just a little chat with... our candidate for governess." Eva emphasized the word "candidate", as if it were something insignificant, of no importance.I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm as Thomas looked at me. His eyes assessed the situation, and although there was no apparent emotion on his face, I sensed that he knew something deeper was going on there. Eva, on the other hand, remained impassive, as if she were absolutely in control."I hope Eva was... fair to you, Bianca." He finally spoke, his voice low and controlled, as he walked to the center of the room. His presence was overwhelming, and even Eva seemed more tense with his proximity."Of course I was," Eva replied, the smile returning to her lips with a hint of mischief. "Just clarifying some... expectations. After
Revenge Business 10. Scoundrels and seducers
The twins, Thomas’s sons, entered the room with boundless energy. The sound of their childish laughter filled the air, breaking the tension that had dominated the space. I quickly stepped back, my heart still racing from Thomas’s stifling proximity.“Daddy! Daddy!” they exclaimed, running toward him with outstretched arms.Thomas's expression softened instantly, and he knelt to embrace his sons. It was almost shocking to see the transformation in his face – the seriousness and control giving way to a genuine warmth of paternal affection.“Hey, my little champions, what are you doing down here?” Thomas asked, smiling as he lifted them in his arms.The two boys, identical in appearance with their blondie hair and bright eyes, answered at the same time.“Mom said we could play outside, but we wanted to see you first!”I felt like an intruder, watching this family moment, but also relieved by the interruption. The awkwardness from earlier was replaced by a new discomfort as I saw Thomas i
Revenge Business 11. Remembering the old days
Masato had sent me another message, saying he was waiting at the door of my apartment. I felt a chill. It must be something really serious. Luckily, the restaurant where Carmelia and I were wasn’t far from my place, and it took less than ten minutes to get there.Breathless, I stepped out of the elevator and saw him exactly where he said he’d be, as impeccable as ever. His piercing eyes met mine, and a shiver ran down my spine. Something in his posture hinted at urgency, but there was more... a latent tension."Bianca," he began as I approached, his voice low and filled with something I couldn’t quite identify. "We need to talk.""I know. I got your message," I replied, trying to keep my tone casual, but my whole body was on alert. “What happened? Did someone from my past call you? Was it Thomas?”He took a step toward me, and without warning, reached out to touch my face. The gesture caught me off guard. His fingers were warm, almost burning against my skin. My body reacted instantly
Revenge Business 01. The big debt
I gripped the phone with trembling hands, my mind spinning in panic as I stared at the loan shark on the other end of the line."I already told you, I don't have the money right now," I protested, my voice wavering.The man's voice was cold, cutting through me like a knife. "What are you talking about? You've had enough time, Bianca. I want my money, and I want it now."I closed my eyes, fighting back tears of frustration. I had lost everything, every penny... Maybe if I tried to explain the situation..."I had your money. It was all saved up, and I was going to pay you back." I sniffled loudly and wiped away one of the tears with the back of my hand. "But my ex-boyfriend stole it from me. He left and took all my money. I'm completely broke. I'll fix it, I just need more time—""More time?! Do I look like I'm joking? Do you think I'm some kind of fool?""Please, I—""You have three days, Bianca. Three days. And you'd better show me my money again, or the consequences will be severe fo
Revenge Business 02. The training
I sighed once more as I looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror. I was wearing a tiny black skirt that barely covered my backside and an equally small top that left my breasts almost exposed.The sound of the door opening caught my attention. Obviously, it was Masato.He stared at me for a few seconds, analyzing my body, which made me blush deeply. Then he asked:“What do you think of the outfit?”“It’s too small,” I complained, trying in vain to cover the exposed skin.A laugh rumbled from the businessman’s throat.“You usually wear much less in your secret job, young lady.”“That’s different. I’m always wearing a mask during those times… And you know very well that the Lady of the Night isn’t me.”“Sure, sure,” Masato mocked. “Still sticking to that silly alter-ego story?”“It’s not a silly story.”“Anyway, I stopped by to let you know that your first test is about to start.”“What do I have to do?”There was lust and cruelty in the powerful billionaire’s eyes as he clarif
