Valentina

Sunday – 8 February 2026 Belladonna Atalier

Matteo reminded me uncannily of Enrique Iglesias. He had the charisma and looks to make any woman quiver.

He smiled. Then...really looked at me and stopped smiling altogether. His eyes widened. "Mamma mia..." He whistled and looked at Livvy. "You never warned me."

She grinned mischievously. "I wanted it to be a surprise."

He walked slowly towards me, studying me with an artist's curiosity rather than a man's interest. "You...are little Vale

    31st March 2025 - Blackthorpe Estate, Upper East SideGordon BlackthorpeNash continued exactly as before. Still with the Monday and Wednesday arrangements. The other women were still coming and going.Good. It meant she was nothing special, just clever enough to negotiate a better deal. At the end of the day, she was just another fucktoy. Nash remained true to form. It was just sex, bought and paid for. Nothing more.But I had kept tabs, waiting for the expiration date. Then Norman phoned one Friday afternoon. "I've got movement." I remembered smiling with satisfaction. "She's leaving."His surveillance photographs arrived within the hour. Valentina Rossi. Dragging two suitcases out of the luxury building. Face blotchy, streaked with tears as she entered the taxi.Good…she was given the boot. Nash never went back for seconds, so there would be no reconciliation. No looking back.I had smiled into my whisky. “That’s right you little gold digger. Go on your merry way.” Order was rest

    Gordon Blackthorpe31st March 2025 - Blackthorpe Estate, Upper East SideI poured myself a double Macallan and downed it neat. The whisky burned all the way down, but I barely noticed. It may as well have been cheap rotgut for all I cared. Tonight I wasn't drinking to appreciate eighteen years of craftsmanship and smoky perfection. I was drinking because I was furious.I poured another double and carried the crystal tumbler to my study. The familiar scent of polished mahogany and leather usually calmed me. Tonight, it did nothing.I lowered myself into the wingback chair behind my desk, the leather creaking beneath my weight, and stared out over the manicured gardens lit up by flares in late evening.Every inch of it represented decades of sacrifice, ruthless decisions and calculated risks. It represented control. Tonight, for the first time in years...I felt it slipping. I stared out at the perfectly manicured grounds now lit up with garden flares, my grip tightening around the glas

    ValentinaSunday, 8th February 2026We said our goodbyes to the Belladonna team amid another round of hugs and excited promises.Matteo clasped my hands warmly when we got to the entrance. "Bellina, you saved my show. Both of you did." He looked between Ethan and me before smiling. "I will never forget this."I laughed softly. "You can stop thanking us now.""No." He placed a dramatic hand over his heart. "Italians don't work that way."Everyone chuckled.He turned serious again. "I'll need you back Monday, Wednesday and Friday from twelve until two. Final fittings, rehearsal walks, choreography. We only have five days until the show."I nodded. "I'll be here."He nodded and then mused. "And I still need to figure out how I'm going to repay you both.""You already have," Ethan answered easily. "Seeing Val in that white excuse for clothing, my sister smiling like a goof and discovering an alternate career path if law doesn’t cut it…” Ethan teased.I blushed…hard…Olivia elbowed me in th

    NashThursday - 31 March 2025 - Midas Media Head OfficeI shook my head at my father slowly. “You really don’t know her.”“I know women.” He shot back. His voice was full of certainty. “They all want something.” Then he delivered the blow that made my stomach sink. “If she was so different...” He spread his hands. “...why did you keep her a secret? You never introduced her. You never took her to functions. None of us ever met her. Because you never acknowledged her publicly.”His eyes locked onto mine. “Because deep down...even you knew exactly what she was.”The words hit like a fist. Because...He wasn’t entirely wrong. Not about Valentina. But about me. I’d found a woman unlike anyone I’d ever met. A woman who stood head and shoulders above every casual arrangement I’d ever had. And despite recognising she was different... I’d still placed her inside the exact same box.Another contracted arrangement. The NDA. The apartment, the allowance. Set boundaries. No future. No promises. N

    NashThursday - 31 March 2025 - Midas Media Head OfficeMy father’s eyes flashed. “So you’ll throw away an empire?”I didn’t hesitate. “If that’s the price...yes.”For a long moment nobody spoke. Then Father’s expression changed. It became calculating. Almost smug. “Oh...I understand now.” His eyes locked onto mine. “So this is about her.”A knot tightened low in my stomach. “What are you talking about?”He gave a sound of disgust. “That little trailer-park bitch. I will never allow trash like that to carry the Blackthorpe name.”Everything inside me went still. Across me, Mason slowly lowered his whisky glass onto the desk.Neither of us spoke. We simply stared at him in shock. He couldn’t possibly...He didn’t even know Valentina. Or so I’d thought.I felt my jaw tighten but I didn’t cave. “Who exactly are you talking about?” I asked quietly. A cruel smile spread across Father’s face. “Oh...so now you want to play ignorant? Like you really don’t know.” He looked almost pleased. “I

    NashThursday - 31 March 2025 - Midas Media Head OfficeThe ambush came after a board meeting that had dragged on for nearly three hours.Father had attended in person, which usually meant everyone walked on eggshells until he left. By the time the meeting finally adjourned, most of the executives had fled the building as though escaping a natural disaster.Mason and I had retreated to my office. His feet were propped shamelessly on my desk while I loosened my tie, already looking forward to blowing off steam at the gym before grabbing dinner.“Leg day?” Mason asked.I grimaced. “I think you just enjoy watching me suffer.”“I won't deny it’s one of life’s simple pleasures.” he grinned.I snorted. “You're a fucking undercover sadist.”The knock never came. The office door simply swung open. Both of us looked up. Father.I frowned. We’d assumed he’d gone home an hour ago. It was already close to six.He stepped inside, his gaze immediately landing on Mason’s polished shoes resting comf
