I flee to the restroom, my face burning with embarrassment. The media frenzy outside continues, disregarding her interruption. What’s worse is that Luca joined the crowd of people to actually see the truth for himself. And the look of disappointment on his face is the last thing I expect to see. As I run off, the cameras shutter endlessly, mocking me. I burst through the door, the distant hum of conversation constantly reminding me of my failure. I listen as everyone congratulates Rachel, their laughter echoing in my head. I collapse onto the toilet seat, seeking refuge from all the chaos. I bury my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking uncontrollably as tears stream down my face. I thought that taking Luca’s offer and signing my soul away would be the end of my problems. However, it’s just the start. But even my time alone couldn’t last longer than a moment. I hear heels clicking on the tile floor and I instantly quiet down my sobs. The scent of Rachel's perfume wafts throu

Jamie's gaze locks onto me, his eyes narrowing. My lips wobble as I try to find words to redeem myself. But none comes. All that makes it out of my mouth is a puff of air. I look down at Sandy, her own hooded eyes looking back at me. Kiki is frozen in her spot, dumbfounded by her own recklessness. “Boss? What do you mean “boss”?”, Jamie asks, surprise, curiosity and suspicion swirling in his voice. A hint of betrayal flickers across his face. And I know that I’m in deep trouble. But it’s too late to go back now. It’ll be futile to come up with any other lies. Kiki and I exchange knowing glances. The silence grows, irking the man even more. "I’m asking you a question!!”, Jamie explodes, firmness edging his tone. Kiki's jumps in her place. This is the first time she’s ever heard him sound so angry. It’s scary, truly. My cheeks flush scarlet, and my gaze falls to the floor. Not one of us is eager to open up first. Kiki glances nervously around the room before pacing to hi

I blink, my eyes widening in bewilderment, as Luca's scorching gaze lingers on my lips. I feel angered that he still desires me. I blink down at him, unable to decipher the emotion swirling in his eyes. The familiar chill in his eyes has melted, replaced by an unnerving intensity. I feel trapped. Yet, somehow I’m drawn to this unfamiliar vulnerability. Is this the same man that often stares back at me with cold, empty eyes? The man gazing into my eyes, isn’t the same man I met a few days ago. Is it pity? Guilt? I don’t want to be the one to find out. Desperately, I push against his chest. However, Luca's arms envelop me. His hands clasp behind my back, locking me in place. “Where do you think you're going?", he whispers hoarsely. His face burrows into my neck. I can feel his warm breath dancing across my skin. I scrunch my face, squirming against his unyielding grip. But he doesn’t budge. After struggling for a few seconds, I give up. My hands fall limply to my side in d

3RD PERSON’S POV “What did you say?”, Stella asks, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. Her lips still burn from Luca’s scorching kiss. Her face falls as she glares at Luca, hoping to find a hint of a joke in his eyes. But there’s none. Stella’s hand presses against his chest as she pushes herself off him. Luca’s sad eyes follow her movements as he sits upright. Stella shakes her head in denial, her tongue darting out to wet her lips. She doesn’t know how to feel about his sudden indirect confession. Had he always treated her unfairly knowing that he felt something for her? Or was it an act to cover up for himself? This new information is overwhelming, she would need time to herself. “Stella, listen to me”, Luca’s hand grabs her wrist. However, Stella gently pulls her hand away. She backs away from him, the lines on her forehead deepening. Luca instantly gets the message. She doesn’t want to deal with the issue now. “What are you saying? This isn’t supposed to

Rachel's presence sparks a mix of annoyance and curiosity in Luca. He wonders what motivates her sudden interest in him, considering he had just punished her for her carelessness. She’s basically be working without pay. Yet, here she is, rubbing herself on him. His thoughts still linger on Stella though. The prophecy, and her inexplicable connection to him. He’s thought so much of it, it almost hurts. "Rachel, what are you doing here?", he asks, placing his hands on her thighs to push her off. Rachel's eyes sparkle with mischief. She shakes her legs from his grip, throwing her hands around his neck. "I've missed you, Luca. We've been apart for too long." Luca's gaze drifts to her cleavage, then back to her eyes. He senses foul play in her eyes. Luca knows exactly why she’s here. She wants to seduce her way to leniency. However, he would let her on for while, to have a little bit of fun. "Rachel, we've never been together,", he reminds her, his voice laced with amusement.
