Sasha’s POV"Sasha!" A cheerful voice interrupted us. I turned to see Priscilla approaching with Gabriel."Priscilla?" I greeted her warmly, recognizing her from our previous encounters. I realized then that Gabriel must be the man she had mentioned before, the one who cared for her."Do you two know each other?" Gabriel inquired, curious about our connection."Yes, we've met," I replied, acknowledging our acquaintance."Sasha, you look stunning tonight," Priscilla complimented with a smile. "Let's catch up over there."With that, she led me away from Gabriel, taking me to a quieter corner of the club.As we conversed, Priscilla touched on the rumors about me and Valentino. She didn't mock or belittle me; instead, she spoke highly of my discernment and abilities."If you're looking for a benefactor, someone like Valentino at the pinnacle of society is the one to seek out. I envy you," Priscilla sighed wistfully.I listened thoughtfully, knowing all too well the complexities of my rela
Sasha's POVI stood there, surprised by the turn of things. Gabriel had just said I was his girlfriend, and now Valentino was standing beside me, insisting firmly that I was his wife. The situation was getting out of hand.Gabriel and Valentino locked eyes with one another, their gazes were as intense as they claimed me with authority and confidence. Gabriel's declaration that I could be his wife was especially surprising, considering we had barely known each other for an hour.Valentino's expression changed and I could see very clearly how angry he was with the situation. He had made it known from the start that our relationship was strictly defined by a contract. But here he was, staking his claim in public in a way that suggested something deeper.I was caught between the devil and a handsome man. Both of them seemed to have an agenda for me. It felt like a dream. Gabriel's charisma and dominance were completely different from Valentino's controlled demeanor and business acumen. Bo
Sasha's POVI was dozing on the sofa, trying to make some sense out of what happened in the evening, suddenly, the sounds of a quarrel between Valentino and Gabriel outside interrupted my deep thinking."Sasha.""Sasha." They spoke loudly in the hallway as if I belonged to them and they had every right to protect me. Gabriel screamed and said he was back while Valentino calmly stated that I belonged to him and he had the receipt.I clenched my fists in anger, wondering how it was even possible for them to come back when I had made it perfectly clear that I wanted them gone. Both appeared not to have the intention to relinquish their stand in asserting their authority over me.“Sasha is my woman. You’d better not have any ideas,” Valentino’s voice filled the air, the edge of a threat present within his tone.Gabe twisted his lip into a sneer, his eyes flashing dangerously. “And Sasha is the woman I picked. Do not consider meddling.”The raw entitlement that they displayed was somethin
Sasha's POVSuddenly, I see a group of dangerous men clad in black suits coming closer to me, and my heart feels tight with fear and realization that saying ‘no’ to them might cost me dearly. Inconsolable, I have no option other than to go with them.They take me to a restaurant and I am shocked to see Gabriel eating breakfast with another man and from what I am observing – their manner of talking, having power over him, I had never seen this side of Gabriel before.As soon as the man steps outside, Gabriel beckons me to follow him. His smile is quite charming when he offers me a seat and the invitation to have breakfast together. The table is soon filled with delicious dishes, and he encourages me to eat more, ordering whatever I desire.Despite the spread before me, I can hardly eat. Gabriel's gaze is warm, and his companions' smiles only add to the pressure I feel.Once I manage to eat a little and my stomach is no longer growling, I thank Gabriel politely. I try to leave, insistin
Sasha’s POV"I didn't mean to..." I repeated weakly, my voice barely audible over the storm of emotions raging inside me. His words stung, but they also revealed a raw vulnerability in him that I hadn't seen before.Valentino's expression twisted with frustration and anger, his features hardening into a mask of disdain. The realization that I had failed him, and that my actions had reduced our relationship to this painful exchange, washed over me with bitter clarity."I'm sorry," I choked out, the words heavy with regret and resignation. At that moment, I knew there was no going back to how things were. The fragile threads that had held us together were now frayed beyond repair.He stepped back, his gaze cold and distant as he turned away. The weight of his disappointment hung heavy in the air, a palpable reminder of the rift that had widened between us.As he left, I sank to the floor, the cool tiles offering little comfort against the storm of emotions swirling within me. Tears
Sasha’s POV"Hello?" I answered quickly."Come to the Four Points," came Valentino's voice through the phone.The Four Points?I paused, recalling it was an entertainment venue. But why was Valentino summoning me there?Before I could ask, he had hung up, leaving me with a chill in my heart.With the weight of our contract pressing on me, I knew I had to go, despite any reluctance.Leaving my office, I called Kim, who was still working, "Kim, please leave work with me and drive me to the Four Points.""Okay," Kim nodded.Soon, I arrived at the Four Points with Kim's help."Do you need me to accompany you inside, Sasha?" Kim asked."No, go home. Thank you. If I need you to pick me up tomorrow, I'll call you," I said as I got out of the car and headed towards the dazzling entrance of the Four Points.The bright lights made me squint in confusion.What did Valentino want with me here?As I entered the Four Points, I called Valentino to ask where he was. After getting his room number, I p
Sasha’s POVThere were only three men left in the room. I couldn't kiss Valentino; our relationship was complicated and contractual. The man with the woman was out of the question. That left only Kylian, the handsome guy with the microphone.I glanced at Kylian.He seemed amiable enough.It had to be him!Summoning my courage, I stood up.Beside me, Valentino's lips curled slightly. He had been anticipating my kiss, strangely relieved and almost happy.But just as he waited for me to approach him, I bypassed him and walked over to Kylian instead.Valentino's expression darkened momentarily.Is this woman out of her mind?She chose Kylian over him, right beside her? Did she even realize who Kylian was?As Valentino's cold, intense gaze fixed on me, a chill swept through the room.Approaching Kylian, I asked in a low voice, "Is this alright?""Huh? Are you kidding, Sasha?" Kylian chuckled nervously, recoiling slightly. He knew all too well the deadly glare Valentino was shooting his way
Sasha's POVAs I finished my bath and prepared to settle in for the night, the rumble of a car engine outside drew my attention. Peeking through the curtains, I spotted Valentino's Rolls Royce parked downstairs. His presence there, particularly at this late hour, left me puzzled and uneasy. When our eyes met as he stood by the car, I hesitated momentarily before reluctantly deciding to confront him.Opening the door, Valentino rushed towards me, gripping my arm and steering me towards the sofa with an urgency that startled me. His eyes, clouded with alcohol, locked onto mine with an intensity that was both unsettling and confusing."I love you," he murmured into my ear, his breath tinged with the scent of wine.My heart skipped a beat. Could he really mean it? Despite knowing deep down it might be the alcohol talking, his words stirred a flicker of emotion within me. Despite his unpredictable behavior, I couldn't deny the bond we shared after spending so much time together.I stood t
