The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 30: A Set Up
"Thanks, Dimitri," Luca smiled gratefully as he accepted the cup of coffee from the elderly Greek man.The small restaurant wasn't much to look at, booths with faded, brown leather seats lined the walls with a few tables cluttered in the center. The wall was a light, tan color and adorned in framed newspaper clippings and paintings of marble statues and Greek monuments.Dimitri smiled at Luca toothily and pulled a small notepad out of his apron pocket. "What can I get for you today, Luca? The usual?"Luca smiled boyishly and shrugged. "You know me too well."The older man bobbed his head and disappeared to place Luca's order. Luca picked up his coffee and brought the mug to his nose, inhaling deeply with his eyes closed. Taverna was where he came to relax and unwind away from the public eye.Dimitri and his family didn't care about Luca's last name and had never told anyone that he frequented their little restaurant. He'd discovered this place one night in college and had been com
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 31: Mom's Always Right
Kit grunted sleepily as the banging at her door continued insistently. She was shuffling toward the door with her eyes half-closed and in her PJs, wondering who was at her door before 6 am."Someone better be dying," she muttered as she finally reached the door and pulled it open. Surprisingly, her mother was standing there, looking a combination of smug and agitated."Mom?" Kit asked in confusion as Maya brushed past her and headed for the living room."I told you!" she declared before pulling a brown envelope out of her bag and slapping it down on the table. "I told you but you never want to listen to me. Is spiting me worth getting hurt?"'What?" Kit asked, still confused as she caught up to her mother in the living room. Maya silently gestured toward the envelope on the table and disappeared into the kitchen without a word.Kit watched her go in annoyance, wondering what was going on and if the dramatics were strictly necessary. She picked up the fairly thin envelope and turne
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 32: Once A Heartbreaker…
Max tapped on the door lightly and smiled at Luca when he looked up. "Can I come in?"Luca smiled happily and stood to greet Max as he entered the room. The two men hugged briefly before taking seats on opposite sides of the desk."This is a surprise," Luca said. "How did you know where the office was?"Max shrugged and smiled impishly. "I know James pretty well. It looks good, man. You guys look like you're ready to get this thing off the ground."Luca nodded as he looked around the office proudly. There were no boxes lingering in his office anymore - he'd assembled his coffee table and added a rug. He'd also made sure to install floating shelves to display some of their new products. His new computer now took up a good portion of his desk and it was covered in mock ups, photos, contracts and Luca was sure he'd seen his planner underneath it all."Yeah, it's coming up fast. I'm excited though. Did you come just to look around?" Luca offered with a boyish grin.Max thought abo
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 33: Truth Mission
Luca was staring into space when James suddenly appeared in front of him. He had a concerned look on his face as he sat down across from Luca at his desk. It was the start of the day and Luca looked like he hadn't slept in days."You look like sh*t, you know? When was the last time you got some sleep?" he asked softly.Luca shrugged and sighed tiredly. "I don't know. A few days ago? I feel like I haven't slept since Kit dropped off the face of the Earth."James frowned sympathetically. "She still hasn't talked to you, huh?"Luca shook his head and exhaled loudly. "I don't know what else to try. I'm blocked, basically everywhere. Her assistant won't let me past the reception and the doorman at her building has been instructed to not let me up."James let out a long whistle. "That's rough, man. She really doesn't want to talk to you.""She really doesn't," Luca said bleakly. "I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I did wrong - if anything. It's kind of hard to do that
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 34: Back To Business
"Trouble In Paradise?Rumors are swirling that our new favorite couple may be over before we've had the chance to come up with a cute couple name. Sources close to Luca Brooks and Nikita Simon reveal that the two are currently on the rocks. The two haven't been spotted together in nearly a week after a very public, hot and heavy romance. Has the spark fizzled out already?"They're really in limbo right now," a source shares with Page Nine. "Luca still has hope they can work it out."Sources are tight-lipped on what the alleged issue is between the two lovebirds but we're hoping it's nothing serious. Simon seems to have reverted to her more private ways while Brooks has been spotted out looking worse for wear.We reached out to reps for both Brooks and Simon and haven't received a response. We'll keep an eye on the story and hope for the best!"****"Okay," Kit said distractedly as she typed on her laptop. "What else is on the to-do list?"Dana hummed as she scrolled through
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 35: One More Play
Luca looked away from his computer when he heard the gentle tapping on his open door. He looked up to find Sloane standing there with a meek smile and a box of donuts."Oh God," he groaned loudly. "I'm not in the mood for your antics today, Sloane.""I'm here to apologize actually," Sloane muttered. "You have every right to kick me out and I'll leave if you really want me to."Luca sighed but gestured for Sloane to sit down across from him, against his better judgment. Sloane smiled at him gratefully before placing the box of donuts on the desk between them."This is a peace offering," Sloane said gently as she pushed the box toward Luca. "I know it's not much, but I figured it's a start?"Luca looked down at the donuts before looking back up at Sloane with no expression. Sloane squirmed uncomfortably and averted her gaze. Luca watched her for a few minutes before sighing quietly."Okay," Luca said before turning back to his computer. "Whatever. Apology accepted."Sloane frowned
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 36: It All Comes Tumbling Down
"Hi Luca," Sloane chirped excitedly as she opened the door to her apartment. "I'm glad you decided to come. I wasn't sure you would when I texted you."Luca smiled at Sloane and offered her the wine he'd brought with him. Unsurprisingly, she was wearing another short, tight outfit. "You didn't have to make me an apology dinner too."Sloane grinned at Luca as she closed the door, wine in hand. "I didn't, silly. My chef made the dinner, of course."She led him into the open plan living area. The chef seemed to just be finishing and gave Luca a tight-lipped smile. Luca smiled slightly and looked around Sloane's place in interest. It was decorated in beige and nude tones - very chic, but bland and boring."This is a nice place," Luca commented as Sloane handed him a glass of wine and directed him to the couch. "What do your parents think about you moving out and getting your own place?""Oh, I haven't moved out just yet," Sloane answered as she sat near him and gave the apartment a c

"Hi Kit," Luca said warily as she walked into one of the conference rooms from his seat at the conference table. Kit froze for a second before spinning on her heel and reaching for the door handle on the closed door.She swore under her breath when the door didn't budge. Kit could see Gemma's figure through the frosted pane of glass that served as the wall."It's locked, Honey!" Gemma called out from the other side.Kit slapped the door with her hand. "You're a traitor, just like your husband!""Birds of a feather babe!" Gemma shouted back, causing Kit to slap the door again and curse Gemma creatively. "I'm sorry!" Gemma shouted again. "You're stubborn, we had to resort to drastic measures. I'll buy you food later.""Kit," Luca interjected from behind her, where he'd been patiently waiting."I don't want to talk to you," Kit said dully while still facing the door, her head leaning against the cool wood."She's not going to open the door until you do," Luca answered calmly as h
