YOU'RE BACK?!!
Katniss“It’s not something I wish to share with anyone, sir. Do you mind if I keep that part of my life to myself? What happened in my past is buried deep, and that’s where I intend to leave it. I’ve started a new life, and I’d prefer not to look back. Apologies if this seems blunt,” I said, my voice steady and unwavering. I met his gaze with a fierce clarity, signaling my seriousness. There was no hesitation, no deference, even though he was my boss. This was outside of work, and I had every right to establish my boundaries.Mr. Corleone didn’t appear offended in the slightest. In fact, I caught the faintest hint of a smile at the corner of his lips. “I understand,” he said quietly, fastening his seatbelt.“Put on your seatbelt, Katniss,” he instructed, his tone unusually soft. Too soft, even.He looked at me again, his eyes searching mine. “May I call you that? Katniss? It sounds more... personal.”I hadn’t expected Mr. Corleone to ask to call me by my first name, but I nodded. “Of

Katniss"Surpriiiise!!!"“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?!” The worry and anxiety that had gripped me vanished instantly when I saw the owner of those expensive high heels. Scarlett Collins. My best friend. She had been away for nearly a year, returning to her hometown to expand her businesses. And now, finally, she was back.I ran straight into her arms, hugging her tight. "Idiot! You should’ve given me a heads up!” I scolded, half-annoyed. If I’d known she was coming, I would’ve prepared something special.Scarlett had mentioned she was coming back to LA, which is how she knew the passcode to my apartment, but she never told me when. And now here she was, unannounced.She hugged me back, just as tight. “I missed you too, Katniss.” Scarlett knew me too well. She could tell my scolding was pure sarcasm. I didn’t really mean to call her an idiot.We stayed locked in the embrace for a long moment."Aunt Scarlett?"I turned to see Giselle peeking from behind me.Scarlett’s eyes l

Katniss“Yup! A party!”“I got invited, and I’m bringing you with me! Come on, Katniss, it’s time you found yourself a man!”I’m not the type to enjoy parties like that. I’m an introvert, while Scarlett is the complete opposite—she thrives in crowds. I was about to refuse, but Scarlett shook her head, waving her finger from side to side.“No, no, no. You’re not turning this down, Katniss. Look at Giselle over there.” Scarlett pointed toward my daughter, her voice softening. “She’s growing up fast. She needs a father figure. I know you’re a strong woman, and you’ve done an amazing job raising her on your own. But deep down,” she placed her finger gently over my heart, “you know she needs more.”Her words cut through me, striking a nerve I wasn’t prepared to deal with. Scarlett knew me too well, and she wasn’t wrong. Giselle had been vocal about it.“I want a daddy, Mommy.”The words Giselle often repeated echoed in my mind. I looked over at her, playing with her Barbies, completely obl

Katniss“Enjoy yourself, Katniss,” Scarlett whispered in my ear, her voice laced with excitement.She had told me this was a birthday party for one of her business acquaintances. Everything around us screamed luxury—shimmering chandeliers, sparkling champagne, and the soft hum of classical music filling the air. I recognized a few faces in the crowd, though most of them were business partners of Mr. Corleone. They are here, too? It had been so long since I’d attended an event like this—so grand, so elegant. The sensation of being surrounded by wealth and power again felt almost foreign, and my steps were hesitant, my presence still a little uncertain.The man of the hour, Ryan Carter—his name just recently mentioned by Scarlett—was now standing in front of the crowd, giving a speech. His voice was deep, commanding attention as he welcomed his guests. My gaze followed him, intrigued by his presence.“Psst! Katniss,” Scarlett leaned in closer, her whisper playful yet urgent.“Hm?” I gl

Katniss"He's my boss!" I whispered, my voice tight with disbelief."So, he’s the one you’ve been talking about, the man who changed your life?!" Scarlett’s shock mirrored my own. I hadn’t even told her which company I worked for or who my mysterious boss was that I always mentioned in passing."Oh my God! I can’t believe Ethan is such a good guy!" Scarlett gasped.“You said he was cold? From the moment I met him, he wasn’t cold at all. In fact, he was warm... a bit charming, even,” I said, watching Scarlett freeze, her surprise palpable.“Warm?” she repeated.I nodded. “Yes, he’s very warm. But with other people, especially women, Mr. Corleone can be... distant. Cold, even.”Scarlett went quiet after that, like something was running through her mind that she didn’t dare speak aloud."Katniss?" A familiar voice called from behind, and suddenly Mr. Corleone was standing right next to us.Scarlett jolted, her wide eyes locking onto him, completely caught off guard. She smiled, shy and f
