Chapter 21

 Giancarlo “Over here please”“Smile” “Lift your chin up a bit.”“That's it.”“You guys look so good together.” “Should we be expecting marriage soon?”Those were the questions I could filter out from the list of questions that were being thrown at us. We wore smiles, posing and turning for the camera when need be. “Keep your smile steady and hold your head up high. You're with me.” I whispered through the chaos as I noticed her getting tensed. Her hand was a bit tight in mine, but its warmth weighed lightly against my chest. I should have been focusing on the flashes—chin up, shoulders squared, effortless smile and aura—but I wasn’t. Not when she stood beside me looking like that.I knew I was making a bad choice when I chose that dress. The dress hugged her just righ

Chapter 22

 ClaireThe car was too quiet, the weight of his stupid announcement pressing the air around us. What? Marriage in three months? How could he do something like that without informing me? And there was no way on this planet I'd marry an arrogant bastard. I stared out the window, watching city lights blur past, my nails digging into my palm to keep from exploding. His voice broke the silence—low, careful, like he thought he could buy me over with the gentility in it. "You're awkwardly quiet ?"I didn’t answer. My jaw was locked tight, as I kept looking out the window. The look on Penny's was the same as mine when he made the announcement . Complete shock that quickly morphed into anger which I quickly masked because of the gazes that were locked on me.I kept hearing my mother’s voice, that proud, breathless laugh when he made the announcement. Her hands clutching her chest like she'd won the lottery. At tha

Chapter 23

 I wouldn't have thought Enzo was harbouring feelings for me but the near kiss at the bar was evidence enough. I had moved away on time before his lips connected with mine and quickly acted drunk. He seemed embarrassed at first but I was thankful he took the clue and just laughed it off. The next day I pretended not to remember anything about that night and ever since then Enzo has paid me more attention than usual. It was clear he had feelings for me, and he was doing little to nothing to hide it. The little gestures, the compliments, the light smiles, everything was as clear as day. I couldn't tell exactly how I felt about him, but all I could say was I felt a special kind of pull towards him. Penny was another reason I couldn't put a definition of what I felt for him. She was a little bit too obsessed with him. One way or the other, Lorenzo just happened to find a way into every one of our conversations. How could I

Chapter 24

Giancarlo I stared at the gate agent like she had suddenly grown two heads. None of what she was saying made sense to me and the sight of the security men approaching only added to my anger. It was clear from the look on her face that Claire was tensed. Though she was trying to keep her wits together, I could almost heart the sound of her loud heart beat. “What do you mean by we can't take off?” I asked, throwing a quick glance to the security men that had already gotten to us. One tried to grab my arm, but I moved just in time, glaring at him. “Don't you dare touch me! What the fuck is going on? Are you forgetting who I am?” It wasn't my style to use such lines, but at this point it seemed they were forgetting I was a Caruso. “I'm sorry sir, there's a issue with the clearance of this flight, so you can't take off.” the lady said, still holding that tight-lipped smile on her face.

Chapter 25

 ClaireWhen Giancarlo asked me that question, I could feel my heart leave its position and travel to the bottom of my stomach. My heart picked its pace as I thought of any possibilities of him knowing what almost happened between me and Enzo. And now….When his words paused and his mouth slightly opened from the impending reply, it was weird. His brows knitted together, and his gaze fixed on something beyond me. Confusion tightened his features, and his mouth closed. I frowned, following his line of sight, but all I saw were travelers hustling past—families juggling bags, lovers hugging themselves goodbye, businessmen glued to their phones, and a little boy dragging a blue suitcase twice his size. Nothing out of the ordinary."What's wrong?" I asked, my voice low.He didn’t respond, didn’t even blink. His jaw shifted slightly, the muscle there taut as if he was trying to piece something toge

Chapter 26

Giancarlo A smile tugged the left side of my lips as I buckled in properly and prepared for take off while replaying the conversation I just had with Claire on my head. I found her excitement and surprise at me booking the whole place amusing and childish, and it felt good bragging about my wealth. I relaxed back into my chair about to close my eyes as the pain began to take off, but slow heavy breath seeped into my ears. I turned to Claire and my eyebrows dipped into a frown. Her gaze was unsteady and she was taking in constant deep breaths. Her fingers gripped the armrest like it was the only thing keeping the plane from falling out of the sky.I smirked, leaning in closer. "You know, the plane's not gonna crash just because you're squeezing that armrest to death."Her gaze steadied as her head snapped towards my direction. "I’m not scared.""Uh-huh." I let out a soft laugh. "And I’m a ballet dancer."She glared, but the way her breath hitched when the engines roared gave her aw

Chapter 27

ClaireThe moment the receptionist told Giancarlo that getting separate rooms was against their policy, I knew I was screwed. My heart threatened to fall into the cold pits of my stomach as I recalled the requests I made. “Is there nothing we can do about it? It's my fault, I made a mistake while booking the room.” I spoke, trying not to let my nervousness shake my words. She blinked. "A mistake?"I glanced towards Giancarlo and the look on his face planted more dread in my stomach. Oh God. The candles, silk sheets, rose petals… and the handcuffs. Fuck! the handcuffs. My skin prickled with humiliation just thinking about it."Yes." I forced a laugh that sounded strained even to me. "The thing is we’re not… a couple." I paused, clearing my throat before lowering my voice. "So, uh, I need two separate rooms instead. You know how awkward it would be if we shared the same room . Help a girl in need."Her polite smile faltered. "I'm sorry, but our policy doesn't allow room changes upon c

Chapter 28

GiancarloThe light reflecting in her bluish green eyes made it sparkle more than it normally did. The moment my hand dropped to her waist, her pupils dilated and it almost felt like she had become wood at the wake of my touch. “What? Cat got your tongue? I thought you had a sharp mouth?” I asked with a smirk on my face, pinning her with a daring gaze. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it back unable to say a word.In that moment, my mouth moved to bed lips, and this time I was the one working to swallow the lump in my throat.“Wh— what do you think you're doing?” The soft whisper of her voice snapped me out of it as I let her go immediately, swallowing and taking a step back.“At the end of the day, you still admire this self absorbed asshole.” I said to her, plucking off the first two buttons of my shirt. “You're not only self absorbed but arrogant. It's sad you think every woman admire you.” “It's not. I am Giancarlo Caruso, every woman does admire me. You were

Chapter 29

ClaireMy boobs pressed into his chest, my forehead almost meeting with his.ni couldn't see it, but from the air hitting my upper thighs, I knew it was bare. For a few seconds I was stiff as I just stared into his eyes, enjoying the feeling of his hard chest against my soft ones. His wet hair fell over his face, hiding a part of his eyes, making him look sexy. Finally, the blood started flowing through my veins properly and I snapped out of my trance. I pushed myself off him with a strong force, I could swear I had his bone crack underneath my weight. “I–I’m so sorry… I didn't mean…I…” “Stop stuttering like you were caught having extramarital affairs.” He said in a teasing voice, relieving the tension that had built up in me. I scoffed and smiled, letting go of the breath I was holding.“Tch…you wish. And even if I was, I wouldn't cheat with someone like you.” I said, rearranging the pillows properly again. “Are you sure about that?” I opened my mouth to say something in my defe

Chapter 30

Giancarlo What the hell is wrong with me? For a moment, I almost let myself forget. Almost leaned in, almost let my hands crawl from her thighs it had landed and to her ass, almost let the heat of that moment consume my heart whole.Then reality hit me like a slap to the face. This wasn’t real.Then a reminder that our engagement was fake, that all these is just an act for the public to think we were actually together, that none of this was real and I was in a hotel room she meant to share with her ex boyfriend.I grabbed my towel, not bothering to take anything else, and pushed open the door. I could feel her eyes boring holes into my back as I walked out without waiting for her to finish speaking. The moment the warm night air hit me, I felt like I could breathe again. The scent of the ocean was thick in the breeze, the distant crash of waves a soothing music to my ears. The water villa Claire got was a short walk away. It was private, secluded and exactly what I needed at the m
