My eyes went wide and my breath got caught in my throat.

"Rachel." I hear Richie say, he flickers the lights on and I knew there was no hiding now.

I swallowed any courage I had left and slowly stood to meet his intense look. "Richie," I say trying to crack and smile and make things better.

"What are you doing here, Rach?"

"I- Uhm…."

I look around the room as I mentally wrack my brain thinking of an excuse. "I was thirsty."

Oh God! I should have thought of something better. Why will a thirsty person come to the closet?

"Thirsty?" He says questionably. His eyes twitch as he takes a deliberate step forward.

"Yeah…I…was...Uhm thirsty... But then, I got here to…uhm get my phone….to message Rebecca."

"Message Rebecca?" He rise a questioning brow

"Yeah, I needed to remind her that she…uhm… has that fasting thing tomorrow," I say.

Oh God, what kind of excuse was that? Fast! Seriously!

"Uhm…, Okay."

"Yeah, it’s very important for her health."

"Okay…We should go back to sleep." He says

    I pull myself out of the swimming pool, the water run down my body, and a refreshing breeze blows through my hair and I flip it to one shoulder. The sun kisses my skin as I exit the pool. I wanted to go swimming on the beach but Richie thinks it isn’t a good idea for some reason I still don’t know. The swimming pool isn’t that bad so I guess I don’t have a good enough reason to be mad at him today. I grab a towel and was rubbing it all over my body when I caught Richie staring at me. His mouth is slightly open and he takes his sunglasses off to have a clearer view of me. His eyes are wide and raking over my body. A smile tug around the corner of my lips as I realized he was checking me out. This man is gradually falling for me. Richie didn’t move from his position, it was like he was rooted on the spot, just staring at me. Taking advantage of his distraction, I stalk over to his side, smiling sweetly. When I got close to him, I raise my hand and put them on his bare chest, making

    I bite my lips as I pace the room. It's been a few hours since Richie and John went to get Alice back and I have been freaking out since that time. When they left I change into a casual outfit; a black plain top, blue jean shorts, and a pair of boots. Grace has been with me since that time. She says she is scared that if she leaves me, something bad will happen to me and she won’t be able to face Richie. I understand that she’s worried for me but I still think she’s overreacting. Right after Richie left, he texted me saying John doesn’t want me to inform any of the family members about Alice’s kidnap. He doesn't want them to worry about her. I understand why he said that but I think it wouldn’t make any difference. This is Richie Moranzino’s family we are talking about. His life is made up of glass there is no way no one will know about it. I’m pretty sure that social media is already blasting information about Alice’s kidnapping. After that, Richie tells me that if he doesn’t come b

    ~RACHEL’S POVI stand behind the doctor as she runs some tests on Alice. I bite my lip looking at the doctor, is it just me, or do all doctors have a kind of face that is expressionless, you can never guess what’s on their mind, they are just too practical. Both in good and bad terms doctors stiff their faces like they have no joy at all. Curiosity grew in my mind as the doctor placed her hand on Alice’s stomach to feel her baby. I look at Alice and see how worried she is, I hold her hand, trying to make her feel better. Alice didn’t bleed between her legs so I think her baby will be fine. I hope so.I watch how the doctor's expression remained neutral as she brings out her stethoscope, she puts the ear part into her ear and she feels it around Alice’s stomach for about thirty seconds. The doctor removes the stethoscope from around her. She writes down something on her notepad and then places it on the side stool.Anxiety was eating me up as I wait for the doctor to speak. I feel so i

    Our flight to New York City was smooth and relaxing. Richie went into work mode immediately after boarding the plane, taking numerous amounts of calls and writing things down. I guess this vacation really piled up a lot of work for him. Speaking of work, I have to get back to planning my next move on Richie. The past few days might have taken the best out of me but not anymore. I need to focus just as much as Richie needs to focus on his work and his revenge on the Russians. Richie will be too busy trying to make their life hell while I will be too busy making his life hell. It will be a win-win for both of us just that my win doesn’t have a regret. Richie continues to go through his paperwork and talk to random people in the Italian language until we arrive at the city. The moment we stepped off the plane the humidity hit me. It’s 3:00 o’clock in the morning and the weather is this hot. I’ve been living here for many years but it’s now I know why New York is known for their weather.

    "Send me an expresso, please," I order using the landline. I end up the call and swirl my chair around to grab the file that is sitting on the cabinet behind me as I grab it, I swirl the chair back to its normal position. Today is a very busy day, I am piled up with a lot of work but thankfully one of my co-workers, Alexander decided to give me a hand even though it isn’t his job to do that. Not quite long after I started working on the papers, a staff knock on my door and I tell him to come in. I don’t take my gaze off the papers I’m working on as the staff approaches me and keeps the coffee by the side of the table before he walks out of the cabin. I take a sip out of it and I exhale; warm refreshing coffee. The exact thing I need to make me concentrate. I am almost done with what I am doing when Alexander knocked on my cabin door. I call out for him to come in before he does."Hey Rachel, sorry I took time." He says approaching my desk "I’m done working on the files. Everything i

    ~ UNKNOWN POV"What do you mean he sent all the money!" I hear Boss barking on the phone. I am standing outside his door but I can hear every single thing he is saying. His voice is too audible that it feels like he is talking right in front of me. I have to say, I am surprised that he is speaking in English, he hardly communicates in that language."Whatever it is, I don’t want to listen to your fucking explanations, just do as I say." He rantsHoly shit! This man seems to be more frustrated than usual. I wonder what evil barked into his head today. Seems like I came on the wrong day and certainly at the wrong time. I exhale, mentally preparing myself to walk inside the office. As I turn the doorknob, and was about to push the door open, my actions halt when Piper speaks. "Don’t go in there, I am telling you." She warns. Piper is Boss’s secretary. She is a blonde-haired woman who appears to be in her late twenties. "This is his fifth call today and he seems to get angrier. Take m

    ~ RACHEL’S POVI wake up to the beeping noise of my phone. I groan turning around and laying on my stomach with a pillow covering my head. I lift myself up, the pillow tumbled over. My eyes squint as the sun shin through the curtains making me groan and lay my head back on to the bed. I slowly turn over to my back, my arm reaching to rest over my eyes.I hear another beep which makes me groan harder. This is the tenth time my phone has beeped. Without opening my eye, I reach for the phone which I keep on the side table. I pick up the phone and see eight notifications from Instagram and two messages from Rebecca. I open Rebecca’s messages, she sent me two pictures, which looks like a screenshot from Instagram. The first picture is of me in the bar holding a bottle of beer and it was captioned "Rachel Moranzino gets drunk with her coworkers"I scoff rolling my eyes. They just had to say that. Scrolling to the second picture, it a photo of me smiling at Alexander. Its caption is; 'Does R

    Someone is out there, but I don’t know who he is, what he does, or how he does it. All I know is that he wants to bring Richie down. Which is a good thing, though I am confused as to how he did it. The only way to leak that information is by getting the original receipt of Richie’s transaction with the drug dealer which is highly impossible because all important receipts are either kept in Richie’s office cabinet or the study room. And there isn’t a chance that a random stranger walked into the study room and took an important receipt without being caught. So it’s gotta be the office, well, whoever it is has access to Richie’s cabin door.I have been pacing around the room for over two minutes trying to put two in two together. It doesn’t make much sense that someone took the receipt from the office and even if it’s possible then who could it be? And how? Richie is the only one that has the keys to every cabinet with important documents. How could someone just get the receipts out of

    ~ RICHIE’S POVI wake up to the same throbbing headache I feel every day. I groan, turning around, I lay on my stomach with the pillow covering my head. I know I shouldn’t be taking too much alcohol every day but I have no choice, it’s the one thing in my life that makes me feel better, the only thing that makes me sleep at night. Turning around, I begin to drown myself in the blissful sleep I badly need but the sun shines through my window and lands its ray directly on my face forbidding me from getting that sleep. I turn away from the ray of sunshine and try to sleep but it just didn’t happen. I release a groan. I guess I need something heavy to get me to sleep. I sit up from bed and stretch my arms and as a yawn escapes my mouth, I already feel like I’m going to hate this day like I do every single day. I turn around and grab my leftover bottle of whiskey. Taking a sip out of it, I feel a wave of nausea wash over me. I try to hold it back but just like every morning it defeated

You’re where my heart belongs, my soul lies and without you, I’m incomplete. I love you so much. I love you more than words can express, and I can't wait to walk down the aisle to become your wife.

    ~ PAPA’S POVI push the door open and hear the familiar creak before shutting it behind me. The darkness of the room engulfs me, so I make my way forward and fumble for the light switch. Finally finding it, I flip it on and the first person I see is the man tied to a chair."Hello, old friend. [Ciao, vecchio amico.]" I say walking toward the table. I take my taser and check if it’s fully charged, once confirmed. I walk over to him, pull a chair, and sit in front of him.Releasing a deep breath I see how he’s sleeping peacefully as if nothing matters anymore. It’s almost like the world fades away around him and he worries. I hate to see him at peace, at least not when his daughter's life is about to crumble into pieces. It’s so not fair how is he sleeping peacefully on this uncomfortable chair while I can not sleep on the most comfortable bed ever. Life should not be this unfair, at least not to me.

    I wake up to a sharp and intense pain in my stomach that makes me curl up in a ball. I groan feeling the pain getting worse. I release a heavy breath holding onto my stomach hoping the pain will go away but it doesn’t. Groaning, I turn around and I feel my stomach crumple painfully. My eyes shoot open and I immediately realize what it means. It’s that time of the month. "Oh shit!" I screech taking the covers off. I quickly grab my pantie, towel, and toiletries from the mini wardrobe before I head into the bathroom to clean myself up. I locked the bathroom door so Richie wouldn’t get in, not that he’s done that before but I don’t want to take a risk. I so much hate this time of the month, I mean the whole deal about it is so stressful and exhausting. Not to mention, the annoying painful cramps, mood swings, flow, overflow, and worse, the stain. I just hate it, it’s too much to handle. I sometimes wish there was a way to make it easier, but I know that it's just something I have to
