JOVAN'S POV

Just as I'd instructed, the board members were all seated even Richard when I walked into the room.

The moment the door closed and I moved over to my seat which was at the head of the table, they were ready to attack me.

Lorenzo stood outside with his back against the wall, arms crossed, shoulder still in a sling and a death stare directed at Richard who shifted uneasily in his seat.

"Effective immediately, all digital signature privileges are revoked." My voice came out steady. "No

    DONATELLA'S POVI held the silk up to the light and examined the weave. The color was perfect, I'd gone with a deep emerald that would highlight the model’s skin but the texture felt wrong."ANDREA." I called across the workshop. "This isn't what I ordered. This is poly-blend, not pure silk."Andrea rushed over, held up the silk. “I bought it from the store you asked me to.”“Are you sure?” I narrowed my eyes. “Because this material looks and feels very cheap.”Her face fell. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Vittorini. The supplier must have made a mistake. I'll call them right now—""Don't bother. Send it back and find a new supplier. I need the real fabric by Friday or the entire spring collection is delayed.""Yes, Ms. Vittorini. Right away."Andrea scurried off. I returned to my sketches. The spring fashion week was in two days and I was showcasing twelve pieces that were all in my favorite color.I leaned back in my seat, rubbing my aching neck. Bending over for hours was really taking a toll

    JOVANI'S POV“Where the fuck is it?!” I yelled, pulling open all the drawers but there were nowhere to be found.The bottle wasn't in my desk drawer.I ripped through the contents, flinging the papers, the penholder fell off the desk, clattering to the floor.“Arggh,” I staggered backwards, the pain shot through my body causing an immediate ache in my legs like I was being struck repeatedly.The OxyContin was gone, adderall too. Both bottles were missing.My leg was already screaming. The cerebral palsy didn't care about my schedule or my plans or the fact that I needed to function today. Pain radiated up my left side, sharp enough to make my vision blur."Elena!" My voice came out harsher than intended. “Elena!”She appeared in the doorway calmly and I looked at her, only to see her holding the two bottles."Looking for these?"Rage flooded through me. I crossed the room faster than my leg should have allowed and grabbed her throat and slammed her against the wall. "Give them back."

    JOVAN'S POV“Good,” Marcus smiled like a proud father. “I want you to channel every emotion you're feeling now.” He came forward, helping me adjust my stance.“When you punch, punch with all your might. In that moment, he's no longer that sweet boy you once knew, he's a cold blooded killer.”He came again before I'd fully reset — which was the point, I understood that, the point was that nobody waited for you — and I caught the first two but the third, a short uppercut I hadn't tracked, snapped my head back and I tasted copper properly this time."Stop leading with your face," Marcus said, giving me a hand and I got up. “You're going to get yourself killed if you keep this up.”Thanks Captain obviously, how about a crown for that head if yours. The pep talk wasn't working, neither were my emotions."Helpful," I exhaled. "Really helpful.""Both hands up. The right hand does not come down when you throw left. Every single time you do that I will make you pay for it.""Every single time

    JOVAN’S POVWe showered separately, got dressed separately and came downstairs to join Marcus who was on his laptop.The guards who I passed by were clearly gossiping about Lorenzo and I because as soon as they saw me, they stopped talking.Prior to going upstairs, Lorenzo had asked Marcus to order breakfast. Normally, I'd cook but I was not in the mood to dice onions.“Who wants a sandwich?” Marcus dropped into his chair, pulled a plate toward him. “We have sandwiches, tacos and eggs, ohhh,” he opened the next order. “We have rice, plantains, I think I'll have these.”Lorenzo snatched the plate that had rice and plantains in it. “This is mine, you guys can have the sandwich.”We'd skipped dinner last night so he was hungry which is why he'd ordered a heavy meal for breakfast.Marcus and I settled for a cup of hot chocolate with two sandwiches each."We should get a proper chef," he said, not looking up. "Someone in-house. This ordering every day is going to get old."I looked up, cup

    JOVAN'S POVI knew I was being petty but I'm well much self-aware enough to admit that.This particular move, I'd learn from the best of the best, Lorenzo Vittorini. He knew how to play the long game and you and him would literally be in the same room but he'd make you feel like you were reaching across a continent just to touch him.“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked, pretending to be oblivious of what my half-naked body was doing to him.“You're playing with fire Jovan,” he looked at me from head to toe, his eyes staying longer on my lower body before he forced himself to look at my face.“Well, you should have known better when you decided to play the hero,” I replied, picking up my phone.Did he think I was going to let that slide? We had a lot on our hands and he needed to be 100% fit but he'd taken us back to square one by beating up Richard.So, no kisses, no sex or casual touches that were never actually casual because nothing between us was ever just casual."I wa

    Lorenzo's PovAfter we left the office, we decided to make a much needed stop at the office because the pain in my shoulder had doubled due to me punching Richard.The pain was worth it, at least I got to teach that asshole a lesson and in his next life, he didn't dare raise his voice at Jovan.Dr. Reeves wasn't pleased when he inspected the wound. He looked at me with a frown, as he took off his gloves.“Do I need to refer you to an ENT?” He asked in a sarcastic tone. “To me, it looks like you're having a hard time hearing.”“I'm fine Doctor Reeves, it's just a minor opening.” He blinked repeatedly.“A minor opening?” He repeated. “Lorenzo Vittorini, if you're looking for a faster way to the afterlife, going through so much pain is certainly not the best path.”“Tell him doctor,” Jovan got up from his seat, eyeing me. “I told him to stay put but he just had this sudden rush of adrenaline and decided to lynch one of my board members.”“Ex,” I corrected him because there was no way in

    LORENZO'S POV“Well Well Well,” the taller man out of all three circles me like a predator. “I've always dreamed of killing you.”“Such a big dream you have there, big guy.”“Well, let's see if we can make it a reality." The first man came at me with his gun raised.I was faster. I took hold of his

    LORENZO'S POVI sat at my desk staring at the box for fifteen minutes before Marcus arrived. I didn't even move it, I just sat there staring at it with the knowledge that Jovan thought I'd done this burning a hole through my chest.I heard footsteps approaching the study and the door opened. Marcus

    JOVAN'S POVI woke up in Lorenzo's bed for the second time. The first time had been last night—passing out after sex, too exhausted to move. The second time was now, morning light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lorenzo's arm heavy across my waist.Maybe I should have panicked a lit
