All Chapters of All I want is you: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Mr. Davis sat behind his desk, his eyes crinkling with pride as he looked at me. "Mel, if you stay on this path, you’ll graduate as a first-class student," he said, his tone warm and encouraging. "You’ve always had the potential, and now you’re proving it. Keep focused, and the world is yours." His words should have filled me with joy, but instead, they hung heavy in the air, like a weight I wasn’t sure I could carry. I forced a smile, nodding my head as I thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Davis. I’ll do my best.” But inside, my thoughts were filled with chaos. How was I supposed to stay focused? Lisa’s betrayal still stung, and Carlos, despite everything, still had a pull on me. My father, always drunk, was falling apart, and Natha

I closed the door and turned to face Carlos, my arms crossed defensively as I tried to suppress the rising irritation in my chest.  "Why are you in my office, Carlos?" I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. "You could have at least answered my calls or replied to my messages." I was not going to take it easy for coming to my office knowing fully well that I was working for Nathan. Carlos knew what he was doing and he was looking for an advantage to get one at me. Carlos shrugged, his expression unbothered, leaning back in the chair. "I don't operate like that," he said coolly, his eyes meeting mine without a sort of remorse. "If you want the information, I’m here. If not, I can walk out of that door right now." 

A burst of laughter filled the room, breaking the silence. A tall, elegant woman stepped in, her laugh echoing in the space as she clutched her stomach.Nathan, clearly caught off guard by her laughter, furrowed his brow. "Why are you laughing, Rose?" he asked, slightly annoyed but curious.She wiped a tear from her eye, trying to compose herself. "Oh, I’m sorry!" she said, still giggling. "It’s just... I’ve never seen a man that... hard in such an awkward situation." She pointed at Nathan’s trousers with a mischievous smile, and I couldn’t help but follow her gaze. Sure enough, Nathan's apparent "reaction" was quite visible.Nathan cleared his throat, his face barely concealing his irritation, and introduced

As we stood in the office, still embraced in the conversation we just had, the door swung open, and Rose walked in again. Her usual playful smile was firmly in place, but there was an edge to her eyes. She glanced at me first, then shifted her gaze to Nathan. "Tell Nathan we’re meeting in the conference room," she said, her voice light but purposeful. "There’s a new update." Before I could respond, she turned and left without even allowing me to ask any further questions. “Is that the way they behave here?” I asked myself. I blinked, confused for a second, unsure of what had just transpired.   I told Nathan we needed to be in a meeting via the intercoms right from my desk. Nathan was already moving toward the door, and I followed quickly, tr

As we arrived at the mob's headquarters, I could feel the familiar knot of tension tightening in my stomach. This place always made me uneasy, but there was something different in the air today. Don Chappo emerged, his usual air of casual authority replaced by something more ominous. His smile, the one that always seemed like it concealed secrets, was gone. His face was serious, hard, as though whatever had brought us here weighed heavily on his mind. He didn’t waste time with pleasantries, waving us inside with a brisk motion. The room he led us into was unlike any we’d been in before, a high-security room, dimly lit, and completely cut off from the outside world. The kind of place where secrets were meant to stay buried. Nathan was calm, his face a mask of control, but I could sense the underlying tension in him. Someth
