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

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

"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

Kit banged loudly on the door of her mother's house with a closed fist. She'd driven here immediately after she'd left the office - she had to confront her mother and get to the bottom of all this. Although it was pretty clear what had happened, Kit wanted to hear it from her - and then tear her a new one.She continued banging on the door incessantly when it wasn't answered. Matthew appeared at the door out of breath and confused when he noted Kit's furious expression - he'd come running from the other end of the house when he'd heard the banging. "Kit -"Kit pushed past him, completely ignoring him and heading for her mother's office. She could hear his footsteps on the hardwood floor as he followed behind her quickly - but she didn't care.She burst into Maya's office, visibly startling her as she sat in the window seat reading a book. She was comfortably propped up against some cushions as she snapped her book shut."Kit!" Maya exclaimed angrily. "Was that you banging on the

Kit's lips clamped shut in surprise, her heart racing with fear. She looked at Luca warily and was surprised when he smiled at her slightly."You're rambling at this stage," he said with a chuckle."Oh," Kit murmured, feeling embarrassed. "Sorry about that.""It really hurt that it was so easy for you to believe so poorly of me," Luca started with a pained expression. "Especially after I explicitly told you there was nothing going on."Kit opened her mouth to defend herself but Luca raised his hand again, silencing her. "What hurts, even more, is that it was so easy for you to drop me."Kit shook her head frantically. "That's not true at all! It wasn't easy for me to drop you at all - I wanted to confront you, force you to explain yourself, but my mother convinced me that it was unnecessary."Luca nodded understandingly. "I understand that this must have been hard for you, especially with your own mother involved - it all looked very real. That said, my feelings are still hurt. I

Kit frowned sleepily and rubbed her face, trying to get rid of whatever was tickling her so she could get back to sleep. She cracked an eye open when her hand came in contact with warm skin.Kit's frown deepened as she looked at the strange, male finger on her face. She pulled her face back quickly and relaxed when she heard Luca's familiar, warm chuckle."Not a morning person?" Luca asked, watching Kit fondly as she slowly woke up."Just not used to someone tickling my face in the morning," Kit said groggily as Luca wound an arm around her waist and pulled her into his chest. She buried her head into his chest and started drifting off again."Stay awake, Kit," Luca demanded gently while rocking her."Why?" Kit groaned sleepily. "I'm not going to work today - let me sleep!"Luca chuckled again and cupped her face with his hand. "Can you take Friday off too?"Kit frowned and peered at Luca through half-opened eyes. "Why? What's on Friday?"Luca smiled down at Kit, thinking that

"So explain it to me again," Luca asked in confusion as he put his glass on the coffee table. "Why are they called 'real housewives' if they're not actually housewives?"Kit snorted and sipped her drink. "No one wants to watch a show called 'Some Rich Guy's Wife' - it's catchier. Besides, some of them have been housewives at some point."Luca looked at Kit as if she'd grown two heads and shook his own before picking up his drink and reclining again. "Whatever you say."Kit laughed and placed her feet in his lap as she made herself more comfortable on the couch. Luca shot an unimpressed look but placed his hand over her feet. "You have to admit the drama was great though? Give the housewives that, at least!" Kit said.Luca chortled and looked at Kit. "Okay, yes. It was entertaining - is this the next step in your career?"Kit threw her head back and laughed raucously before kicking Luca gently. "Definitely not. I don't even have enough drama in my life to qualify."Luca gave Kit

Kit let loose a loud wolf whistle as she spotted Luca entering the closet behind her in the mirror. She let her eyes run down his body appreciatively as he paused on the threshold of the closet with a smile. Luca was clad in a black, custom-made tuxedo with his hair slicked back."Don't you look yummy," Kit purred as he walked over to her and placed a kiss on her bare shoulder, directly where it connected with her neck."You look pretty edible yourself," Luca complimented Kit with a husky voice. "We don't even have to go tonight," he continued as his eyes devoured Kit.Kit snorted and pushed Luca away gently, walking to another part of her closet to search for earrings. "We can do that when we get back - I want to go to the Opera. You promised me we'd make it there this time."Luca chuckled with a devilish smirk and stuffed his hand in his pockets. "I guess I'll keep my hands to myself then. I'd hate to break my promise.""For the third time," Kit tacked on distractedly as she car
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 49: One Big Happy Family
"Are you two sure you know what you're doing?" Kit asked, her tone heavy with skepticism as she watched Max and Luca trying to get the grill started."100%," Luca answered in a confident tone as he carried on working."Max definitely doesn't know what he's doing," Gemma called over from where she was lounging in the sun. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, babe," Max answered dryly as he scowled at Gemma."Got your back, babe!" Gemma answered back before turning to Kit with a smirk.Kit shook her head with a laugh from her chair and clinked her drink together with Gemma's. "This is the life, huh?"Gemma nodded eagerly. "Who knew Connecticut was so beautiful! I was telling Max we should definitely look for something in this neighborhood so we can be neighbors! Of course, we'll need something a lot bigger."Kit snorted with laughter and looked at Gemma curiously. "Why would you need a bigger place than this? It's just the two of you." She gasped and looked down at Gemma's flat st

"Hey handsome," Kit purred when Luca opened his front door."Uh - hi," Luca answered dumbly, shocked to see Kit. "I wasn't expecting to see you tonight."Kit smirked as she ran her eyes down Luca's bare torso slowly, following the v along his hips until it disappeared into his sweatpants."I can tell you weren't," Kit said as she playfully licked her red lips, her eyes flickering up to meet his amused gaze."Do you want to come in then?" Luca asked with a smile while already stepping back into the low-lit apartment. Kit smiled as she brushed past. Luca shook his head and turned to follow her; his eyes drawn to her long legs - exposed by her short skater skirt."Didn't know you were a sports fan," Kit commented when Luca finally caught up to her in his living room. She was watching the basketball match playing on his flat screen, as she stood behind the couch."Are you?" Luca countered as he walked up behind Kit and wrapped his arms around her waist.Kit shrugged and turned in Lu
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 47: There Was An Attempt
"You know that you don't have to do this, right?" Luca double-checked with Kit. They sat next to each other at the table he'd sat at with Maya just a few days earlier.Kit smiled at him reassuringly as she fiddled with the handle of her teacup. "I know, but she'll probably come and pester you again. Let's just get this over with and out of the way."Luca squeezed her hand he was holding under the table, causing Kit to smile at him gratefully."What is he doing here?" Maya asked, announcing her arrival to the oblivious couple.Kit turned away from Luca and gave Maya a disapproving look. "Hello to you too.""What is he doing here?" Maya repeated testily, her eyes narrowed on Luca. "When you called me, I told you that I didn't want him to be here.""I don't care what you want," Kit said bluntly. "You can sit down or you can leave, your choice."Maya looked put out and sat down reluctantly, opting to completely ignore Luca and focus entirely on Kit. She smiled brightly. "How have yo
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 46: The Worst Kind Of Surprise
"Mr Brooks!" Luca stopped and turned at the sound of his name as he was exiting his office building. He was stunned to find Maya waiting for him, an odd expression on her face. It looked like she'd been waiting outside for a while. For a second, he wondered if James had also told Maya where their office was."Maya," Luca responded in surprise as she walked over to him. "What are you doing here?"Maya cleared her throat and adjusted her coat uncomfortably. "I was hoping that I could talk to you for a few minutes."Luca frowned and hesitated. "I don't know if that's a wise idea. I think you've already said everything that you needed to."Maya frowned and stepped closer to Luca. "I know that our last encounter was far from pleasant but all I need from you is a few minutes."Luca groaned and ran his hand through his hair. "Okay, there's a coffee shop in the building. Why don't we go and talk there?"Maya nodded and followed after Luca as he led the way back into his office building

"Are you ready?" Luca asked Kit as their car pulled up to the launch venue. She turned and gave him a brilliant but nervous smile."Born ready," Kit assured him with a nod before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Joey opened the door for Kit with a friendly smile. "Ready, kid?" Joey asked into the car. Kit chuckled and grabbed his hand as he helped her out of the car. "Thanks, Joe. You look really dapper tonight - are you going to hang around and enjoy the party?"Joey nodded as he smiled at Kit affectionately. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. You look gorgeous by the way."Kit smiled at Joey and did a little turn playfully. Luca stepped out of the car and pulled her into his side with an admiring gaze. "I'm the luckiest man here tonight.""Don't you forget it," Joey said sternly, punctuating the end of his sentence by closing the door. "You two kids have fun. I'll see you inside." Luca smiled at Joey before leading Kit toward the doors to the building. The room burst
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 44: Can I Ask You Something?
Kit opened the door to her apartment and stopped in surprise before stepping back outside and checking the number on the door. She walked back in slowly and closed the door behind her before turning and surveying the dozens of vases of blood-red roses decorating her home.There was a trail of rose petals, lined with lit vanilla-scented pillar candles lining the way. Kit hesitantly followed the trail into her living room, where she was stunned to find dozens more vases of roses.The rest of the trail led to the open balcony doors where Kit could see Luca's back facing her."Luca?" Kit called questioningly, causing him to whip around with a giant grin on his face. "Hey," Luca greeted her softly as he walked toward her and pulled her into a hug. "How was the rest of your day?"Kit looked at him as if he'd grown two heads. "How did you get in here? Wait - don't tell me. Gemma, right?"Luca chuckled quietly as he pulled her into a searing kiss. "Smart and beautiful - I'm a very lucky

Luca looked up from his phone when he heard the knock on his office door. "One minute!" He took his time walking to the door and then took a few moments before turning the handle."Sloane," Luca deadpanned as he opened the door.Sloane smiled at him tentatively. "Luca. I was pleasantly surprised you wanted to meet up."Luca nodded stoically and gestured for Sloane to enter. Sloane's smile wavered slightly as she walked into the office before it fell off her face completely when she noticed Kit perched on Luca's desk."Sloane," Kit said with a satisfied smirk at Sloane's put-out expression.Sloane turned back to Luca with a frown painted on her lips. "What is she doing here?""She can speak for herself," Kit interjected smugly as Luca walked back to his seat behind the desk. Sloane stood in the middle of the room, staring at the two undecidedly for a second.Kit gestured at the couch behind Sloane helpfully. "Why don't you take a seat?"Sloane smiled at Kit nervously before obli

"You didn't have to walk me to my door," Kit said with a smile.Luca gave her a charming smile in return. "I couldn't let you carry your bag up. Not the gentlemanly thing to do."Kit shook her head but didn't argue, the two smiled at each other as they walked down the hall. Luca looked ahead and his face darkened. Kit noticed the change and followed his line of sight. Her smile disappearing as she spotted Maya standing in front of her door.Kit stopped walking as she felt irritation rising within her. The fact that her mother couldn't even give her at least a week before completely ignoring her wishes."We don't have to stay," Luca murmured as he looked at Kit in concern.Kit smiled at Luca and squeezed his hand gratefully before shaking her head. "She's not scaring me away from my own home."The two clasped hands as they walked the rest of the way to Kit's door. Maya's expression flickered to one of disdain when she spotted their hands intertwined. Wisely, she chose not to say a
