Chapter 31

ClaireThe second I woke up, the first thing I had on my mind was my conversation with Eliza last night. I had no idea how I was able to fall asleep after, but I was dreaming almost the same second the call drop. The thought of Enzo talking to Eliza about this just because he likes it made me see him in a completely different light. It was petty, and I don't know how Giancarlo would react if I told him his best friend was crushing on me and because of that spilled out secret to my sister who threatened to ruin his image herself if we didn't end this madness as soon as possible. But Enzo doesn't look like a snitch? “Alex didn't look like a two timing bastard either.” My subconscious voice yelled at me and I sighed. Fair enough. Though I still found it hard that Enzo would do such a thing, but I didn't know what else to think. I sighed in Exasperation as I moved smoothly in the water, trying to ease the tension I was feeling. “I shouldn't have let this happen in the first place, no

Chapter 32

Giancarlo “That was how I lost my mother.” The words were slipping out of my mouth before I could register it in my head and I didn't feel cautioned for letting it out after. “I– oh my God. I didn't know, it was never on the news. All we knew was that your father died a few days after you were born and your mum followed suit fifteen years later.” I didn't need to look in her direction to know she was staring at me with pitiful gazes, and that wasn't what I wanted. “I was in the pool swimming that day when I had muscle cramps just like you did and there was no one around. My mum wasn't a good swimmer and…” I paused, swallowing the lump in my throat before speaking again. “.... I guess you can tell what happened from then on. Some people blamed me for it, and I couldn't blame them. Only if I had listened to her and not go into the pool that day, she'd still be here.” She looked at me with that pitiful gaze that got my skin crawling. Opened her mouth to speak a few times but ended

Chapter 33

ClaireOkay, maybe I shouldn't have told him about the thing with Eliza and now he looks so angry that I've forgotten the short moment we just shared. But why is he angry? We are equally in the same mess. “Since when did she know? And how the fuck does she know?” SHe asked, getting off the bed and running his hand through his hair. Why does he look so frustrated?“I don't know. She called me and insisted I told her the truth about us and—” “You actually told her without waiting to know if she was just making assumptions? Claire, really?” My eyebrows dipped into a frown and his attitude was beginning to piss me off. “You didn't even let me finish speaking before you assumed. Of course I didn't tell her, she laid out the whole thing before me and I just couldn't deny it. And now she wants us to call it off or she'll reveal the truth to the public.” “Fuck!” He ran his hand through his hair again as he started to pace, and I just couldn't understand why he was so worked up. So I a

Chapter 34

Alex!The moment my eyes clashed with his brown ones, I felt rage boiling the pit of my stomach. He stood there, hands resting on the hands of their luggages. And right beside him, nestled into his side like she had every right to be there, was Tori.My stomach twisted into knots, my nails digging into my palm before I even realized I’d balled my hands into fists. I choked them back, the sting at the back of my throat.“What the hell are you doing here?” The words left my mouth before I could stop them.Alex raised his eyebrows, his expression shifting from amusement to something worse—indifference. Then, like the arrogant bastard he was, he smirked. Smirked.“Is that really how you greet an old friend?” he drawled, leani g into Tori, his other hand tightly around her waist like she was a trophy.I felt heat rise to my face, my pulse hammering in my ears. “You are not my friend, Alex. I'll ask again, what the fuck are you doing here!?” I asked, my voice a bit louder than normal.He ch

Chapter 35

Giancarlo “What do you think?” she asked as I watched her mover around in the water. I sat at the edge of the pool, smiling as I watched her body glistened in the water. Other people around us went about their business without minding us. “I don't think it looks better on you. Wet or not, I like your hair down.” “You're not fun.” She said and dived into the water, leaving me to watch her sink deeper into the water. With a small smile on my face, I dived in after her, following closely behind her. She didn't know I was behind her until she turned around to see me. Her eyes widened but she quickly covered her schock with a smile. We both paused, staring at each other, and in that moment, we forgot we were under water. The water made her eyes look even more ethereal than they normally were and if it weren't for the fact that I needed to reach up for air, I wouldn't have minded drowning in the pool of her eyes. At the same time, we swam to the top, sucking in as much air as our lun

Chapter 36

Claire I could feel the soft call of the gentle waves of the water calling me in as I adjusted the strap of my swimming trunks. This was what I needed—silence, space, and the kind of peace only the sea could offer. That made me change my mind about going to the pool. Just a few steps away from the outside, I collided into something firm. Someone.A sharp inhale. A familiar scent—woodsy, clean, laced with that particular aura he always carried with him. My stomach clenched before my mind caught up.I stepped back, heart slamming against my ribs as my eyes traveled up to his, his brown eyes pulling me in.And just like that, the Maldives disappeared.He looked as stunned as I felt, his brows lifting slightly, his lips parting as if to say something. My body, on the other hand, reacted on instinct. I turned sharply, whispered an ‘excuse me’ and walked past him as if he were nothing more than a stranger."Wait."His fingers curled tightly around my wrists, pulling me back and stopping m

Chapter 37

For seconds, I was stunned, unable to make sense of what was happening. Alex snaked his arms around my waist, his lips moving against mine.All I could feel was him. The familiar press of his body, the heat of his skin, the way he kissed me like he was trying to remind me, to make me remember—I shoved at his chest, heart hammering, breath shaky as I stepped back. I didn't get a chance to speak the words that would show my statement when Giancarlo's voice interrupted us. "Oh, I didn't mean to interrupt, you can carry on."The voice was ice down my spine as I swallowed while looking at him. His eyes were dark and his face unreadable.Silence hung between us, thick, suffocating.“I— it’s— Giancarlo, it's not what you think.” “Of course it is exactly what he thinks. You kissed Alex first.” I turned at the sound of Tori's voice, her presence shocking me just as much as Carlo's own did.“When did you get here?” I asked the first question that managed to slip out of my dry throat.“How w

Chapter 38

Giancarlo The space between us felt too small, too gnawing not to be closed. She was standing so close, her chest rising and falling, lips parted as she voiced out every anger in her veins. And then, before I could think, before I could stop myself, I closed the distance between us and claimed her lips with mine. The second it happened, my mind went completely blank. Shock weaved through me, my body freezing mid-action like even I couldn’t believe what I’d just done.“Giancarlo, what are you doing!?” that little voice at the back of my head screamed at me like it always did. But then she gasped softly against my mouth, and something shifted.I forgot about my surprise, about the argument, about everything except the way her lips and body felt against mine.My hands found her waist, pulling her closer, and I deepened the kiss, swallowing whatever words she had left.She didn’t push me away. Didn’t stop me. Instead, she melted, her fingers curling into my shirt.And just like that,

Chapter 39

Her breath hitched, she took in a sharp intake of air, like someone had just walked into a ghost. And when I turned, my own breath stilled.“Sofia?” You've got to be kidding me! The universe has got to be fucking kidding me!!For a second, my brain refused to catch up with my eyes. My fingers loosened on my glass, my pulse slamming against my ribs.I didn’t even know what to react to first. Was it the fact that she was standing right in front of me, alive and real after all these years, or the fact that she looked… different. Older, maybe. Prettier. Like time had carved something into her face that wasn't there before.But she was still her, Sofia Rossi. The same woman who had ripped my heart clean out of my chest and walked out of it like I had never existed. She literally disappeared from my life.“You're alive.” Was all I could muster as I swallowed like a spoon of gravel was forced down my throat.She blinked as she took a small step back. “I—I didn’t—”Didn’t what? Mean to run

Chapter 40

ClaireThere was still a lingering fear in my mind from swimming alone, but it was all I needed right now. To be alone.The water was colder than I expected, sending shock through every tissue in my body. For a second, it stole my breath, but I welcomed it. Pushing off from the edge again, my arms cut through the surface, legs kicking hard. Lap after lap.I try to convince myself that I’m just swimming. Just moving, just breathing, just relaxing in the calmness of the water. But my mind won’t listen.I could still feel it. His soft torturous lips on mine. The press of them, firm and intriguing. The way my body reacted before my brain even had the chance to protest.I dive under, letting the silence swallow me, getting lost ij my mind again. “Don't go too deep. Are you forgetting what happened the last time?” That tiny voice in my head tried to warn me, but I was past reasoning. Maybe if I stay down long enough, I can drown the memory of it. But when I broke the surface again, gasp
