A Lie That Ruined Me Chapter 023
❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈We moved forward, his hand resting behind me.To everyone watching, it looked natural. Intimate, even.That was the goal.I stayed beside him, aware of every step, every glance, every whisper that followed us. I wasn't just Natalie anymore; I was ‘his’. Someone being assessed, measured, judged.We reached our table and sat. I adjusted in my seat, forcing my shoulders to relax even though my body refused to cooperate. My fingers curled tightly against each other beneath the table, trying to steady the nervous tremor running through me.The room was overwhelming. Not because of its size; but because of the people in it.Power. Wealth. Influence; All sat in this room. The kind of people who didn't just live in the world; they shaped it.And somehow, I was sitting among them.My gaze drifted across the room, scanning unfamiliar faces until it landed on something… familiar.Her.The woman from yesterday.She was seated across t

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈I didn't need an alarm to wake up. Today was D-Day. The day everything would be tested. The day the lie would become real.I lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting the weight of it settle in my chest. Three months.And it started… today.I pushed myself out of the bed and headed for the bathroom, the cold tiles grounding me more than anything else. I stepped into the showing, mind already racing,What if I messed this up?What if I said the wrong thing?What if…I shut my eyes, letting the water run over me.No. There was no ‘what if.’I didn't have a choice anymore.The dress was waiting for me when I stepped out of the shower.Black. Bardot. Long-sleeved. A flare mini dress that looked simple until you really saw it. Sleek. Deliberate. It wasn't just a dress; it was a statement, carefully chosen to say something before I even spoke.Leonardo had made sure of that. Everything I needed had been prepared

┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Leonardo ┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ After Natalie left, I picked up yhe papers she signed and went through them, a faint smirk settling on my face. Three months. Simple. Necessary. I slipped the agreement into a folder and locked it away in my drawer. I turned headed for the bathroom. “Leo, is everything okay?" Linda asked, sliding off the bed. "We're done here,” I replied as I turned to the bathroom. "Just like that?” She scoffed. "We didn't even last an hour.” Her hands found my chest, her lips brushing against my skin, but I caught her wrist and pulled her away. “I've got business, Linda. Another time." She huffed in annoyance. I stepped away from her and walked straight into the bathroom, stripping off my boxers and tossing them into the hamper without a second glance. The shower came on, hot water pouring over me, washing away sweat, salt and everything else I didn't care to remember. Quiet. That was how I preferred it. Then I felt it; hand

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈The sun cast its warm golden light across my face, slipping through the curtains like it had every other morning. I turned, dragging the duvet over my face with a groan and a knock came at my door.“Miss Natalie.” I sighed as I heard the guard say from the corridor. “Mr Moretti asked to see you later today when you're free.”"Where?” I asked, my voice thick with sleep as I pushed myself up, rubbing my face."The master's suite,” the guard replied.I was free now, I'm always free. What would he possibly want to discuss? Had he found a solution yet?.I swung my legs off the bed, staggering toward the bathroom. I splashed cold water from the faucet on my face, then turned the shower on, letting the warm water run over me until the last traces of sleep faded.By the time I stepped out my mind was already racing, I hoped he had found a solution. I dressed quickly, settling for a simple sundress.I yawned widely before stepping

┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Leonardo ┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈By the time Alexandre and I pushed our way back into Sebastian Romano’s office, the bastard was gone.The chair behind his desk was pushed back slightly, a glass of whiskey half empty beside a stack of documents. He had left. Coward.I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialled immediately, “Find Sebastian Romano. I want everything; where he's hiding, who he's meeting, who he's paying. I want eyes on every building he owns,” I said coldly and the line went dead.Sebastian had always been a nuisance, a parasite feeding off the edges of our territory but this time he had gone too far.He stole from us and started distributing our product. That wasn't business, that was war.Alexandre looked like a storm ready to break beside me, without a word he stormed out.Andrei and I followed him out of the club, by the time we got to him he had already slammed the car door shut, the engine roared to life and the car sped out of the lo

┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Leonardo ┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈“It's Sebastian Romano,” Alexandre's voice said through the phone, tight with restrained fury.Of course it was. Who else would be reckless enough to provoke us? Who else would be arrogant enough to steal from us and expect to survive the consequences?I lifted my head slowly just as one of the estate guards approached, the uniform alone told me he wasn't one of mine.“Get back home now," I told Alexandre and ended the call.The guard stopped a few feet away and now, "Sir, Padrino asked to see you in his gazebo.”I exhaled slowly as he turned and left without any other word. This was about to become unpleasant.The elevator carried me down to the entrance of my apartment and when the doors open, I stepped out, headed straight toward the main house.A car rolled through the gates just as I reached the courtyard and Alexandre stepped out, his expression tight with restrained anger as he walked in my direction.Neither of us spok
