The wedding had come to a close, and the time had come for us to bid farewell and return home. A mix of emotions swirled within me as I contemplated the events of the day. Amidst the joy of spending time with Bianca, my mind remained preoccupied with the mysterious conversation Gianna sought to have with me. Even as my hand remained entwined with Antonio's, my gaze wandered aimlessly, lost in a sea of thoughts, desperately seeking any rational explanation as to why someone unfamiliar to me would feel the need to share something significant. Perhaps it pertained to Antonio himself? The question echoed within me, but alas, no answer presented itself.Suddenly, Antonio's voice snapped me out of my reverie, jolting me back to the present. Startled, I turned to face him, and in that instant, my mind flooded with memories of our lips meeting in a tender embrace just moments ago. The sheer intensity of that memory ignited a blush on my cheeks, and a wave of shyness washed over me."Olga," An
My eyes widened in sheer shock, unable to contain the overwhelming joy pulsating through my veins. A breathtaking sight lay before me, beckoning me closer with its majestic allure. I was drawn towards it like a magnet, my feet carrying me swiftly towards the centerpiece of the room. A grand piano, resplendent in its grandeur, had been meticulously positioned in the lounge, capturing every glimmer of light that cascaded through the windows.As I approached, my heart skipped a beat, my right hand instinctively reaching out to make contact with the polished keys. The moment my fingertips grazed the smooth surface, an electrifying surge coursed through my body, manifesting as a flurry of goosebumps that materialized on my skin. In that precise instant, a deep sigh of awe escaped my lips, intermingling with a fleeting burst of laughter that bubbled up from within me.Turning my gaze backward, I caught sight of Antonio, who stood at the entrance, his presence both comforting and electrifyin
Bianca's unexpected question reverberated through my mind, leaving me stunned and motionless. My eyes widened in shock as her words sank in, and I found myself lost in deep contemplation. It was a query I never anticipated, and its impact was profound."What?" I managed to utter, my voice faltering and breaking, unable to fully convey the astonishment I felt. A surge of tingling sensation coursed through my hands, and goosebumps cascaded over my body, amplifying the intensity of my emotional response. Bianca's words echoed within me, reverberating in my ears, replaying relentlessly.Her voice transformed, becoming more soothing and calming, as she repeated her question, this time her hand gently rubbing my arm, as if to offer solace in the midst of the swirling thoughts and emotions that engulfed me.Meanwhile, Kira's piercing voice cut through the moment, abruptly snapping both Bianca and me out of our trance-like state. My attention swiftly shifted towards the entrance of the room,
"Who is it!?" I asked once again, my anxiety mounting with each passing moment. "Shush," a voice broke the silence, and to my surprise, it was a familiar one. It was Dima, his voice both soothing and enigmatic. His hands gently rested on my thighs, causing my eyebrows to arch in a mixture of surprise and curiosity."Dima? What are you doing here?" I inquired, still filled with a lingering sense of fear, though it began to wane as I had a clearer view of his face, now seated close to me."Come to my room immediately. I have something important to tell you about Antonio, but we can't discuss it here. He's on his way back, and time is of the essence," he urged, swiftly rising from the bed, a sense of urgency emanating from his words.Acting quickly, I reached out and managed to grasp his wrist, my heart racing. "What's happening? What are you talking about? Is something wrong with Antonio?" I asked in a state of frantic confusion, fearing the worst for Antonio's well-being."Olga, just
"What? How do you expect me to prove my love for you?" I exclaimed, my voice tinged with a mix of confusion and disbelief. His intense gaze fixated on me, causing a rush of emotions to surge through my veins. My heart raced, pounding heavily and rapidly within my chest.Then, he uttered those words that hit me like a sudden blow, knocking the breath out of me. "Let's have sex now," he proposed, his statement hanging in the air like an unexpected storm. My eyes widened in shock, and my heart seemed to skip a beat, sinking deep into the pit of my stomach."What? Sex?" I stammered, my words slowly escaping my parted lips, as if struggling to comprehend his audacious request. I tried to process the gravity of his words, my eyes fixed on him, refusing to blink, as if hoping that it was all a surreal dream."Yes, Olga. Sex," he reiterated, his voice filled with a blend of frustration and vulnerability. His hand, once tightly gripping my upper arm, began to loosen its hold as it traveled upw
"No! Dima, I'm sorry, but I cannot do this," I snapped, my voice filled with a mix of frustration and fear, as I instinctively pulled away from him. The weight of the situation loomed in my mind, and the mere thought of being discovered by Antonio caused a surge of adrenaline to course through my body. I could feel the beads of sweat forming on my skin, and every muscle in my body tensed up. My legs twitched with unease, propelling me to swiftly distance myself from Dima's presence."Olga!" His voice called out to me, filled with a mix of concern and urgency, as he hurriedly approached. However, I was too quick for him, and I managed to slip out of the room and forcefully slam the door shut behind me. The sound reverberated through the air, punctuating my escape. My heart pounded relentlessly against my ribcage, the rapid beats echoing in my ears."No! No! No!" I muttered under my breath, shaking my head in disbelief and self-reproach as I ascended the dimly lit staircase. Each step I
"Wh...at?" I stuttered, my lips flapping on each other nervously. My heart raced, thumping fast and hard in my chest. The sweat that had managed to dry up instantly found its way back, forming droplets on my face. This time around, the intensity of my anxiety was even worse than the first time.He didn't utter another word, just gazed into my eyes, as if trying to peer into the depths of my soul. The weight of the moment felt like my entire life was crumbling right before my eyes, leaving me utterly lost and unsure of what to say. My body began to tremble, as though I had a fever, and I struggled to find composure."The last time I saw you, it was at night, and you were outside the room," Antonio spoke, breaking the heavy silence. "You were coming out of Dima's room. So, I figured you might be coming out from there tonight as well."As he spoke, the frenzy of emotions inside me slightly lessened, as I realized he hadn't actually witnessed me coming out of Dima's room. A sigh of relief
“The city is so beautiful,” Bianca cheered, her excitement evident as we drove through the streets, taking in the sights during our tour of the city. Guila tagged along, and the three of us sat comfortably in the back of the car.Behind us, another car filled with guards followed closely. Antonio had emphasized the importance of not taking any chances, especially after the events of the previous day’s water saga. Surprisingly, Antonio acted completely normal with me, which gave me some reassurance that he hadn’t discovered the truth about my lies.“The street market is so vibrant,” Bianca added, capturing the lively scene on her phone through pictures.“The market in Palermo is just amazing. If you stay longer, we’d definitely have to visit it,” Guila chimed in, her smile beaming with enthusiasm.“But why can’t we go now?” Bianca asked, turning to both of us with an eager expression. She occupied the right edge of the car, while I sat on the left, and Guila was in the middle.“Yeah, I
