ELOISEBy the time I got home, the sky was already turning that deep shade of orange Valerieโs words stayed with me the entire drive back. I hadnโt expected that. It was one thing to hate the man who raised you, However it's another Story entirely to hand over the evidence that could destroy him. As I stepped into the house, the familiar warmth o wrapped around me, but it didnโt settle the unease in my chest.The kids were already in their pajamas, curled up in the living room. Giana was half-asleep against Nicoleโs shoulder, Kiaraโs fingers tangled in her own curls as she watched a cartoon with so much attention. I took a deep breath and forced a smile while they hugged me tightly โHey, miei amori. Long day?โ Nicole barely looked up. โYes โ I chuckled, ruffling his hair before pressing a kiss to Gianaโs forehead. โAlright, just a few more minutes, then dinner. I will go fix something up nowโ Kiara nodded, but her eyes flicked up to my face,. She always knew when something

ELOISE"Eloise . Are you sure you want to do this? We have not pinned your accident's culprit on anyone. We should be careful since something worst could happen. I will handle everything my own way" Luciano pleaded "No I will do it. And I will be fine. Obviously these people would try to cover everything up if I give the flash to the FBI or press. Thankfully I have this journalist friend of mine that wouldn't stand the injustice " I said to assure Luciano that I would be fine. I didn't exactly know if truly this man wouldn't come after me. Infact I'm sure he would but then everyone will get a glimpse of his true nature and after all I have my husband and Alex by my side. We settled in the living room, the low hum of the television was the least of my concern as I picked slowly on the bowl filled with popcorn. Luciano was warm beside me, the scent of his cologne grounding me in a way I hadnโt expected. His arm rested along the back of the couch, close enough that if I leaned just

LUCIANO "What's this about Alex?" Eloise finally said something after watching us argue for a while. "Josh will find you. And he will kill you. With his father back to Italy, all you just need to be is dead and every other thing would work out for him" She scoffed and ran her hand through her hair. "So I can't leave? " She asked. "You can. With the security team""How am I to trust you Alex? You are a Mafia killer and what the hell did you do with my best friend Laura? Did you threaten her not to see me ?" "Eloise?" Alex said with shock " What happened to Laura?she's with you all this time?" "Yes she's living with me. Are you happy now? Look Eloise whatever you want this to lead to, I'm not taking my men an inch out of this house neither will they take their eyes off you for a minute " " I will protect her. Go" I said. Alex let out a dry laugh, shaking his head. "You think you can protect her, luciano? Do you even understand what you're up against? Josh isn't just s

ELOISE" Why wouldn't I meet him? What I'm being paid is barely enough to cover the hospital bills of my mother and take care of my family. Besides, the task is very simple. I just need to say that your father seemed little different whenever we get artworks delivered. It's nothing tough"Eloise clenched her fist, as her employee made the confession. "This is ridiculous, Josh went bald, and even removed his body hair before making his comeback and the best he could do was to accuse my father of being a drug addict?""He also offered to send my son abroad and make me a curator at the USA national museum "Eloise scoffed. " Josh said that to you?" "Yes""And you believed him?""Not necessarily"Grabbing my bag, I headed for the car park where I claimed behind the wheel of my gleaming black BMW and headed to the police station.Eloiseโs grip tightened on the steering wheel as she sped toward the police station, her mind racing with fury.

ELOISEThe first thing I did when I opened my eyes on Sunday morning was to check if Luciano was home.And yeah, he was there, beside me. Asleep on the far end of our king sized custom made bed. I gazed across him for a moment, remembering how on the early days of our relationship. Right before my accident, I'd loved watching him sleep. He's late for church today or maybe he was still tired after victoriously following his plan that he didn't let me know of and handed an evidence to the police about Josh. Evidence worthy of his arrest with a warrant. Apparently my employees he has tried to bride and the very one that was asked to put those drugs on the artwork while he recorded confessed. Luciano made them to. It's just surprising how hard he's been becoming from tim to Time. I hurried Into the bathroom and put in my yoga clothes. My private instructor is arriving soon and after two hours of uplifting yoga, I planned to spend the rest of the day rehearsing my speech at the press

LUCIANOThe sheets were still warm when she left the bed, her scent clinging to them tightly. I kept my eyes shut and listened.The creak of the bathroom door. The soft rush of water. The drawers opening. Closing.Then silence.I heard her padding toward the stairs, Lightly on her feet, like she didnโt want to wake me. Or maybe she just didnโt want to face me.That stung more than Iโd admit.When the front door clicked open, which no doubt was her yoga instructor, I let out a breath I didnโt realize I was holding. My hand moved to the side of the bed sheโd vacated, and I grazed the pillow where her head had rested. Still warm.I pushed the covers off and sat up. My bare feet hit the cold marble, grounding me. I rubbed a hand over my face. I hadnโt slept well, not since I handed the evidence to the police and watched Josh's face flash on national news, wanted for possession, manipulation, attempted murder. And defamation. Atleast I had kept my part of our contract deal which was to

LUCIANOI watched as Eloise stood up and walked towards the window, biting her trembling lips. "What did my father ever do to deserve that? He was a nice man. He gave out scholarship and gave most of his property to charity. Why... Just why exactly would someone want to kill him?""Hey.. hey Eloise. Look it's not certain yet but your father would be pleased if his killers are punished. And I promise you I would do everything within my means to make that happen "Eloise turned back to face me, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, the weight of everything crashing down on her at once. I could see the fury beginning to brew behind her sorrow, and for the first time, I was afraid of what might happen next.โI donโt know who to trust anymore,โ she whispered, her voice breaking. I moved to stand beside her, but she held up a hand, stopping me. "You can't fix this. Not this time. Not even you."Her words stung like a slap, but I couldn't deny the truth in them.

LUCIANOWith a rare smile on his wide, passionate mouth, and a laden gift box clutched below one powerful arm, I stepped into the lift in Eloise's apartment block. Although I hated surprises, but I knew that she loved them, and I couldnโt wait to see her face when she realised that he was back italy thirty-six hours sooner than he had said. Trust me I worked impossibly long hours to manage that feat.During the few days I spent abroad, I had spent an entire evening shopping and gosh! I hated shopping.Honestly, I had enjoyed the toy stores, though, I wasn't sure I would get almost seven years kids. The shop attendant suggested LEGO or magna tiles. I also added monopoly Scrabbles . I got colouring sets and drawing paper for Kiara, that's what she loved and for Nicole, I got PS5..I know Eloise is going to shout at me for that but... What kind I do? I've got to please the little boy. I just got a laptop for Gianna, that girl should be a detective. I conceded, wishing that El

DAMIEN POVWe moved quickly, staying low, and taking cover behind the nearest warehouse. My heart thudded in my chest, but I didnโt let it show. Every muscle was coiled with anticipation. Eva was close. I could feel it. And I was going to make sure Marcus didnโt get away with what he had done.I signaled to Marco to take the left side, while I led the team to the right, the area where Marcusโs phone had been traced to. The building was run-down, the kind of place where people went to disappear. But this wouldnโt be where Marcus disappeared. This was where his story would end.I couldnโt let him hurt Eva.As we closed the distance, I signaled to my men to stay alert. I was just a few feet from the entrance when I heard a noise. It was a slight scuffle followed by a faint whimper. It was enough to make my blood run cold. Eva.I moved forward, silently, my hand on the grip of my gun, eyes scanning for any sign of Marcus. There was no room for error. We couldnโt risk a standoff. We had t

DAMIEN"No,โ Chairman Huxley said. โWe found out late tonight. A call came through, and the man on the phone threatened to kill Eva if the FBI or the cops are brought in.I need your help,โ he said, appealing to me โI have to get my daughter back safely.I clenched my fist. Marcus just doesn't know the boundaries that are not meant to be crossed. How dare he kidnap my wife in my absence. He didn't even try to be anonymous. He fucking told her father he was Marcus. Which means he has so much guts and no fear. "Well, โthis is unusual. Of course, I understand the situation, and if you wish to pay him in that fashion, I can arrange it. However, I never recommend paying kidnappers and, believe me, Iโve had my share of threats.โโWhat would you do?โ Chairman Huxley asked."I wouldnโt call in the FBI, theyโre useless,โ I said. โI have my own people who use the latest technology. When he phones again, we can put that into action."Heโs calling tomorrow at 10 a.m.""Where?""L.A.," Chairma

Eva.Finally I got it. This was no joke.When Iโd started to struggle with the short man, heโd run out of the room, slamming the door in my face and locking it so I couldnโt get out.Shit! I thought, looking around. I really am a captive.There were no windows, a stone floor, a big old heavy door, a rickety cot with a stained mattress in the corner, an old blanket and a bucket.I'm screwed.How had this happened?I shut my eyes for a moment, trying to summon all the strength I could. Donโt panic, A little voice whispered in my head. Stay calm. You will get out of this.The short man with the pop eyes had tried to force some pills into my mouth. Iโd kicked him in the balls and the pills had scattered on the ground. If Iโd been quicker, I might have reached the door before him, but he was fast for such an unfit-looking man. Strong and smelly, too. I wrinkled my nose in disgust.Kidnapped. It seemed like a plot from a movie. No wonder I felt so sick, theyโd obviously used somethi

A year later.Brenda's pov"From the moment we met, I liked you. I think about you all the time and I even dreamt about you at night. I know this might seem sudden but I don't think I can wait any longer"I smiled. Watching Micheal from across the table in the fancy exquisite restaurant. He knelt on one knee and brought a ring box out of his jacket pocket, the velvet catching the soft candlelight between us. My breath hitched as he opened it to reveal a delicate diamond solitaire, shimmering like a secret under the stars."Will you marry me?" he asked, with a low earnest voice , his eyes locked on mine like I was the only person in his world.For a heartbeat, the whole restaurant seemed to fade away the clink of glasses, the low hum of conversation, even the soft classical music floating through the air. All I could see was him, his trembling hand, and the hope in his eyes.Tears welled up before I could stop them. Not because I was surprisedโbut because I had waited so long to hear

Eva I woke up two weeks later โEva, come home right now.โThe urgency in my fatherโs voice froze me in place. I dropped my phone and rushed out, not even bothering to change out of Damien's pajamas. Yes his own because they are bigger and thicker and the weather is just damn too cold. Within seconds, I was behind the wheel of my Land Rover, tearing down the road, my heart pounding with worry.This wasnโt like Chairman Huxley. My father never called like thatโnever sounded that rattled. A thousand thoughts flooded my mind, each worse than the last. Was he sick again? Had something happened? I imagined him on the bed whimpering about how he loves me and that I should take care of myself. Oh God! I dreaded that thought. I must agree that the worst part of having parents is watching them grow old I parked haphazardly in front of the house, not caring that the tires werenโt straight or that Iโd blocked part of the driveway. Kicking the door open, I ran up the stairs, two s

EvaThis isnโt what I was expecting at all. Ever since I got back, Iโve been starving myself. Not on purpose, okay, maybe a little out of pride. I've texted Damien for his address so I can easily order something to eat but he won't reply and I wasn't going to call him Gosh I literally havenโt eaten a single thing today and I slept off only to wake up by past 11pm. my stomach is punishing me for my negligence. The growling is so loud it could probably summon the dead. I tried to sleep, I really did, but the hunger pangs were too painful to ignore.It was too late to order anything. No restaurants will be open for delivery. So I was left with the one option I always end up taking a midnight snack.I tiptoed to the kitchen like a thief, praying not to wake anyone. The first time I tried this at home, Chairman Huxley nearly turned my head into a pancake with a frying pan. He thought I was a burglar. I still donโt understand why he chose a frying pan of all things. What if

Evaโs POVโWhat am I doing? Seriously?โ I asked, trying not to let the irritation in my voice rise too much. His cold tone had sparked an ache I couldnโt quite describe. I only wanted to celebrate with him, to share in his moment and maybe, just for a second, pretend there was something real between us.But apparently, even pretending was asking too much.The audience hadnโt picked up on the tension between us yet. We were both still smiling like a picture-perfect couple. All fake. All for show.โYou should stop acting up, Eva,โ Damien muttered under his breath, though his smile remained intact, perfectly sculpted for the cameras that wouldnโt stop clicking. "Or else I will do this" He pulled me closer, his arm tightening around my waist as if this moment actually meant something. His lips cut mine I was so flustered by the sudden kiss . What was he doing. This is going overboard To the watching world, we were the romantic headline of the week: Office Romance GoalsโThe Alexa

Eva's POV"Get up."The deep voice cut through my sleep. Blinking my eyes open, I saw Damien standing in front of me. My surroundings felt unfamiliarโthis wasnโt the plush hotel suite weโd stayed in the night before."Whereโฆ?" I began to ask, startled and confused. I felt embarrassed to be so disoriented.โWeโre back in the States. Now get up. The car is already waiting,โ Damien said, his tone sharp and devoid of warmth.Back in the States? My mind raced. I didnโt remember boarding a plane, let alone arriving here. The last thing I recalled was collapsing into bed, exhausted from the gala night. We were supposed to stay for two weeks, not just one. So why the sudden change?I covered my face with my hands, trying to wake up fullyโand to hide the panic rising inside me. Something didnโt feel right.โCome on! I have things to do,โ Damien snapped, grabbing my wrist and dragging me toward the exit. I stumbled down the stairs, still groggy and struggling to keep up with his long strides.W

Evaโs POVThe suite was quiet . The kind of silence that presses against your ears, heavy and watchful. I stared at the three dresses laid out on the bed, each more extravagant than the last. velvet. Midnight blue silk. Gold sequins.All picked by Damien not me. Apparently, even my wardrobe was part of the arrangement.I chose the midnight blue one. It was elegant but simple, the kind of gown that didnโt scream for attention, but still turned heads. As I stepped into the walk-in closet and zipped it up, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.My makeup was flawless. My hair swept into soft waves. I lookedโฆ expensive. But I didnโt feel that way.Not when my heart was still sore from this morning. Not when I still heard Damienโs voice in my head like a cruel echo. โAfter the divorce, I doubt Iโll even remember your face.โI grabbed the silver heels from the box on the wardrobe and slipped them on just as the door creaked open.Damien stepped in.He wore a black tux, with a dark bo
