Ginevra His smirk doesn’t do my erratically beating heart any good.“Because Elena was so clingy since I gave her that ring and I needed a break.”“Be honest!” I urge him, squirming under his intense gaze.“Because I wanted to see your face when you saw the dress that Elisabetta designed for you.”“Liar.” I whisper, and he shakes his head with a chuckle.“How is that a lie?”“You could have seen my expression from across the room as well.”“But I couldn’t have touched you while at it.”I lower my head, hugging my cushion tighter. “You are such an idiot.”“I might be an idiot,” he says, pulling the cushion out of my arms. “But at least I got you to smile again.”Realizing at what he is hinting at, I blush and try to suppress my smile. I feel him putting his finger under my chin and lifting my gaze back to meet his.“I just couldn’t stop thinking about you. And the night we spent together made it worse, honestly.” He keeps his voice low, making my nerves buzz.I try to grimace, wantin

Ginevra I’m buried in a book as the doorbell rings. I heard the rapprochement of a car, but I was so bound by my book that I just blended it out. “Just a minute!” I shout out loud, as I get out of my seat with my eyes still glued to the pages. As the bell rings again, I snap the book closed with a groan and sprint to the door. “I’m comiiing!” Without thinking anything bad, I swing the door open, and before my smile can build because of a brightly smiling Elisabetta, it falls as I spot the person standing behind her. “Oh, I thought you were in a loony bin.” Elena passes myself without any further introduction, her bag dangling from her bent elbow. I roll my eyes and regain my smile as Elisabetta envelops me in a big hug. “Ooooh, I missed you so much!” “I missed you too.” As she steps into the house, she checks for Elena being out our hearing range before she whispers, “Sorry, she caught me going out and tagged along. I didn’t plan on bringing her.” “Ah, don’t worry. She is the

Ginevra After our quarrel, the tension between us grows even worse.I’m so immensely hurt by how he treated me in front of his fiancée and so ashamed of my naïve heart that since a moment ago was thinking that this was all staged.That the way he kissed me was to signal that he wanted me instead.And that he was still fighting for a way to make me his again. Officially, this time.But I was just being stupid once again. He tried to talk to me the same night.I was putting on my lotion before going to bed when I saw him stepping into the bathroom through the mirror. He leaned against the door frame and my childish imagination had me thinking he was hurt because of our fight, just like I was.Such an idiot. “You looked stunning in the dress.” He said finally, as if there was nothing else he could have said in such a situation.Closing the lid of my cream, I looked at him coldly. “I know. Ellie is very talented.”“Yeah, she is.” He cleared his throat before adding, “do you think we cou

Ginevra “What?” I breathe out, halting in my movements to stare at him.“It’s just a rumor we planted to make it more believable.” I can’t believe this. He isn’t even looking at me as my world crumbles yet another time.“So, she isn’t pregnant?”“No.”As he finally looks up at me, I can already feel my tears streaming down my face. Even before I see his distraught expression, I realize that I’m nearing having a full-blown melt down.He puts his spoon down as he seems wanting to move to get to me. “Ginevra, wha-”“You fucking asshole!” I interrupt him, sobbing.“Ginevra, I-”“Shut up!” I take a deep breath, as I push myself from the table. “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”As I get up, he mirrors me, wanting to grab me. His voice is laced with concern as he tries to speak to me again.“Please, calm-”I don’t even have him finish his audacious ‘calm down’-plead, stopping him by throwing the content of my glass of water at him. He halts in his tracks and grumbles as the water drops from h

Ginevra The moment I open my eyes, I feel the best and the worst in ages. I feel exhausted from my emotional outburst, but as I lay my eyes on Ruggerio sleeping next to me soundly, my heart skips a beat. Remembering how he picked me up to take me into his bedroom as it was the closest door to reach from the stairs, I blush and bury myself in the blanket. We ended up making out on his bed and I touch my lips automatically, the feeling of it still lingering on them. In the heat of the moment, I had let him undress me to my lingerie. But as I kept having flashbacks, I stopped him from going any further, even if I didn’t interrupt our make-out session. And I still don’t know how I feel about it. I was just so happy hearing about his engagement and the pregnancy being staged, that it was difficult to think rationally. “Babe, everything alright?” My eyes dart back up to look at him, finding him looking at me sleepy. “Are you in pain?” I shake my head, making him sigh in relief. “I’m

Ginevra“Ruggerio is not here. He went to the office in the city.”Elena scoffs, continuing to arrange colorful flowers in a vase. I seem to have a flashback at that as I shudder unpleasantly.“Those are very beautiful.”“Yeah.” She says absentmindedly, “My mother-in-law told me to bring them. Make this place a bit more homey.”Still absorbed by the flowers, she adds. “I don’t really like those things. Such a waste of space and patience. They wilt anyway, will they?”I nod, pushing out a low “Mh-mhm.” As I keep standing in my spot, I suddenly feel the urge to move.“Can I offer you a cup of coffee?”“No.” She answers coldly. “Those bruises of yours really take some time to heal.”Touching my neck instinctively, I force an innocent smile while my insides turn. “Yes, they are really tenacious, unfortunately.”I feel like having to throw up as those that she sees might not be bruises that Tommaso left me but testimony of her fiancé spending his time with me.Loosing my ponytail, I distri

Ruggerio   I couldn’t count the incoming texts and calls even if I wanted to. While my phone blows up, I get annoyed by the fact that the only one I want to get doesn’t arrive. She just leaves me on read. I gave Arabella free for the day. She wouldn’t have been able to work anyway as the damn phone just won’t stop ringing. Soon enough, all the offices on the floor are empty as the constant calls are freaking everybody out. Federico had started to spread some rumors and soon enough, the media and the companies that we were working with, flipped out. I smile as I think of the same mess happening in the Montecco-Tower. Checking my phone one more time without finding the answer that I’m looking for, I skim the new texts I got. The last one is from my grandfather. And he is not amused. Collecting everything, before they block my access, I get to the elevator that bring

Ruggerio   “What did you just say?” “That there is a Villa-” “No. No. No! I got that. But the thing before!” She practically shouts at me as she leans forward, gripping my forearms. “That we could look at the venue you like in Tribeca.” I say, pushing down the urge to grin at her, trying to sound unimpressed. She stares at me agape. “By we… you mean you and Elena, right?” “Why should I look at venues with Elena?” I scrunch up my nose and she gasps. “Stop playing with me!” Just before she can skyrocket out of the swing, get hold of her wrist to keep her from getting away from me. “No. Don’t. I’m not playing with you, Ginevra.” “You know exactly why you are going to look at venues with her.” “I won’t be looking at venues with Elena, Ginevra.” “Why not?” She whispers. “Because I won’t marry her.” “You broke off the engagement?” I can hear the distress in

Ginevra “Theirs?” I ask lowly, afraid of getting my answer. He keeps playing with the card between his fingers, turning it around them leisurely. I wet my lips, watching him hypnotized as I grow more and more giddy in my seat. “I took their firstborn daughter and their precious heir and had them, as well as my family, lose an awful amount of business. The defamation the family names will be hit with will be enough to make them feel sick for ages. They will be busy with dealing with bad rumors long enough to experience serious losses.” His sly smirk grows and my breath hitches in my throat. The words of Elisabetta resounding in my head make me gulp as his expression morphs. He is a devil for real. “Such a psycho.” I giggle and shift, trying to alleviate the pressure between my legs. Taking the card back into my hand, I drive my finger over the Stemma engraved onto the back of the card. It looks like the two family’s crests of the Monteccos and Capolettis have been unified to cr

GinevraAs I’m staring at the spot frozen, I don’t know what I’m seeing or what I should do or even how to react, because my brain is just blank.“Ru?” I try to ask, but my voice seems to refuse its proper service as it comes out as a feeble whisper. But it seems to reach him anyway as he responds to it.“Hmm?”I sense him step closer and crouching down behind me. His vicinity triggers goose bumps to raise on my skin and I shudder pleasantly. The first thing I see as I turn around is him flashing his gorgeous smirk at me. My heart flips in my chest even before I lower my gaze to the thing that he is holding in his hand, stretched out to me.A small little velvet box.Breathing in deeply, I’d like to speak, but my throat feels too raspy to even function.“You should get up now.” Only as he speaks my brain gets a little kick to notice that he is down on one knee.I open my mouth to speak, but only get to draw a shaky breath. Blinking repeatedly, I stare at him agape.“I don’t think I’ll
