ACCALIA'S POV

Luca glanced at her, "This is not a movie, Miss Bentley."

She winked, "Call me Bentley, and lighten up a bit, will ya? You're like a walking iceberg."

I could not stop myself from giggling at the banter unfolding before me. Bentley was determined to crack Luca's icy facade.

Luca, however, was determined to maintain his composure, "I'm here to ensure the young miss's safety, not for amusement."

Bentley nudged me, "Well, Lia, seems like your bodyguard needs a crash course in humor."

I smiled and nodded in agreement, "Maybe he's just saving his laughs for special occasions."

Luca's eyes flickered towards me for a moment, his cold exterior showing a hint of amusement.

Bentley crossed her arms, "Alright, IceMan, challenge accepted. Let's see if we can get a smile out of you by the end of the day."

Luca merely nodded and remained unresponsive to Bentley's playful challenge.

Bentley has a mischievous glint in her eyes so she turned to Luca and asked him, "So, Luca, what's it li

    BENTLEY'S POV“Let's go to a cafe, I'm craving a drink or something.” Accalia suggested as she stared at Luca and I. “What about you guys?”I chuckled and replied, "Sure, I could use a caffeine fix. How about you, Luca? Any preferences?"Luca remained silent for a moment before he finally said, "I don't have any preferences."I raised an eyebrow, surprise glimmered in my eyes. "Not even for coffee or tea? Come on, everyone has a preference.""I consume what is necessary." Luca said and shrugged nonchalantly.I smirked and said sarcastically, "Alright, Mr. Mysterious. We'll find something that fits your needs.”As we walked towards the cafe, I continued my banter with Luca, I was attempting to crack his stoic exterior with jokes and playful comments. I was surprised that Luca responded with occasional subtle smirks and very rare, short-lived chuckles.We settled into a corner table at the cafe and we ordered drinks, soon our drinks came and casually, we sipped our drinks, I couldn't re

    BENTLEY'S POVIt took a couple of minutes for us to reach the park but after Luca parked my car in the nearest free parking lot, Luca got out first, quickly opened both our doors and waited for both of us to follow.After we entered the park, we headed toward the playground. We sat on one of the swings and I swung myself back and forth slowly as I allowed my mind to drift back to fantasizing about Luca. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted him.It was odd to consider this. In fact, I hadn't ever considered wanting someone so much before. I let out a sigh, knowing I needed to stop and concentrate on the here and now. I closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing, slowly inhaling and exhaling.Suddenly, Accalia reached forward and placed hee palm across mine, stopping me from swinging. I glanced at her and noticed that she seemed somewhat amused and I grinned.She turned to Luca and said, "I would really love some ice cream right now.""Okay young miss." Luca said and I quickly

    DON'S POVI sat down on my office chair in my study and Butler Roy stood beside me as I wiped the blood off my wrists with the handkerchief he had handed to me earlier. It had been hours since I left Accalia with Luca watching after her. My mind drifted back to Accalia's best friend, Bentley, and for some weird reason, she looked very familiar. Not familiar in the sense of me seeing her pictures when I had carried out a background search on Accalia but familiar in the sense that she looked awfully familiar, like I had seen her somewhere or maybe she looked so much like someone I once came across.“Is the master perhaps worried about the young miss?” Butler Roy asked, it seemed that he had noticed how deep in thoughts I was."Don't be ridiculous, Roy," I snapped, my tone dripping icy. "I'm not worried about her. I was just... thinking.""But of course, sir," Roy replied with a smirk, his sarcasm dripping like honey. "Because it's completely normal for the master of the house to be sit

    DON'S POV"Luca, where the hell is Accalia?" I demanded, my voice cutting through the air like a knife.Luca's voice on the other end sounded nervous. "I-I don't know, Don. She was with me and Bentley a while ago, and I haven't heard from her since or Bentley since after I went to get some ice cream.”"You let her go with that woman, and you don't even know where they are?" My frustration boiled over as I felt my blood heating up with anger.“I thought she was just going out for a bit. I didn't expect her to disappear like this." Luca stammered.I clenched my fists, the anger flowing through my veins. "Find her, Luca. Now. And find Bentley too. I want them both back here immediately."Luca rushed to reassure me, "I'll do my best, Boss. I'll call you as soon as I have any information."As the call ended, I glared at Roy. "This is unacceptable, Roy. How could you let this happen?"Roy's icy demeanor remained intact. "I assure you, sir, I had no control over Miss Accalia's actions. My du

    DON'S POVThe night was quiet aside from the soft sounds of music coming from the hallways leading up to my bedroom, which was connected to my study. My thoughts drifted to the conversation I had with Dr O'Connell. He still denied being paid off to rule my sister's death as suicide when it was obvious that she had and her fiance had been murdered. And yet, his words made me continue to believe that my sister had been murdered. That someone was responsible for those deaths. His silence and refusal to speak up proved it. He claimed that did not know who killed my sister or her fiance and he refused to tell me who hired him either. I needed answers. The question was why? If someone really wanted to kill my sister and her fiance, wouldn't they have also killed O'Connell too?My thoughts turned into a whirlwind, creating a mental storm within me and I was unable to calm myself down. As my thoughts continued to rage inside me, the door opened and shut quietly, causing me to snap out of my

How was I supposed to explain the situation? How was I going to explain to Don that I was not cheating and Ken had visited me at Bentley's house to apologize. How was I supposed to explain that?Ken chuckled as he stepped towards the doorway, "I see we have a guest, Lia."Don glared at him and crossed his arms over his chest, his brows furrowed as he stared Ken down silently."Well," Ken started as he took another step closer to Don and placed his hand on the wall next to him, leaning against it. He grinned widely as his eyes landed on Don. "If you haven't noticed, Don, I plan on getting my woman back." He added with a smirk directed towards Don. "Lia?" Don repeated looking at me as his expression turned into confusion. "What am I hearing? Are you back with your little boyfriend?" he demanded."Don," I said in an almost whisper,

And then, without a second thought, my eyes closed and I buried my face into his chest as I wrapped my arms around his torso. I felt Don's fingers gently brushing back some strands of hair from my face and caressing my cheek softly, but he didn't say anything.As I hugged him even tighter, I could hear Ken snickering. "What a gentleman," he mocked.And when Don didn't say anything, I pulled back slightly, my eyes widened in surprise as I looked at Don and saw him shaking his head at Ken who had the biggest smirk on his face."This is not what it seems to be," I whispered."It seems that someone has found their lover already, Missy. Just how pathetic," Ken teased sarcastically. "A beautiful, innocent young lady being held against her will."I couldn't help but tighten

I took a few steps backwards, my breathing was coming out ragged.I turned around, trying to take my mind off of Don. My mind began wondering why he hadn't come back upstairs for me. I wondered who he was talking to and what he was talking about. Then I heard the sound of the door knob being turned, it echoed loudly throughout the silent house. My breath caught in my throat, I slowly stepped backward until my back pressed against the wall.A loud creak resounded as the door swung open, it hit the wall causing a loud thud.I saw Don standing in the doorway, I averted my gaze and cleared my throat, hoping that he wouldn't notice the beads of sweat forming along my hairline. But he did and he smirked lightly. "Pumpkin," he drawled, his voice sending a shiver down my spine.My gaze remained fixed on the carpeted floor, my body was s

So good! So incredibly good that she could probably win any contest she was in! I almost gasped in admiration as I saw how breathtaking she really looked.I hated how beautiful she was, I never understood why anyone could want to look like that, but she was definitely an exception. She had a unique personality that drew people to her in a different way than everyone else did.I hated the fact that she was pretty that me and could easily over take me in the modeling world, there was no way in hell I was going to let that happen. i have been bullying her for over two weeks since she came but she

I was so excited when Don told me to dress up today that I would resume work at his company as a model.I wanted to make a good first impression so I needed to dress up nicely. A white button down shirt and a black blazer were the two pieces of clothing I selected from my closet after I finished dressing in bed this morning. I also wore some light makeup but it wasn't much. Not too much, just enough to look like I hadn't slept with it all off last night. That made me think about something else - Don's lips... I shook my head trying to get rid of those thoughts.I brushed through my hair once more then applied one last coat of lip gloss before leaving my room, closing and locking the door behind me. I took a deep breath of air and exhaled deeply, hoping to calm myself before I headed down the stairs to meet Don."Good morning!" Don chirped happily when he saw me. I grinned back at him and walk

"It's okay, Accalia," he whispered, his voice gentle yet filled with unspoken sorrow. "We'll be alright."But the dam had already broken, and I could no longer hold back the flood of emotions that surged within me. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I buried my face in Don's chest, my heart aching with the pain of leaving behind everything I had ever known."It's just... so hard," I choked out between sobs, my voice muffled against Don's shirt. "Saying goodbye to everyone, to everything..."Don held me tighter, his own eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I know, Accalia," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "But this isn't goodbye forever. We'll come back someday, I promise."His words offered little solace in the face of our imminent departure, but I clung to them nonetheless, finding comfort in the warmth of his embrace.
