TESSA

I barely had time to register what was going on when the other man rushed to my side, yanking me up to my feet.

I screamed at the sound of a gunshot getting closer.

“What's happening?” I panicked, my legs buckling beneath my weight.

I got no response, instead he pulled me towards the door. Matteo opened the door, peeking out with his gun extended in front of him. Matteo suddenly raised his left hand. The man stopped abruptly, and I nearly crashed into him.

    TESSA It's barely been a day but it already feels like there's a missing piece in my chest. I shut my eyes, relishing in the sound of his voice and imagining he was right by my side as I lowered myself down on my pillow. “I missed you too,” I muttered, clutching my phone tightly in my hand. “I missed you so much.” “Cazzo…” I heard him groan. “I didn’t realise it would be this difficult being without you,” he exhaled and I could just imagine how lonely he'd be feeling right now. “Leonardo…” I trailed off. I felt the same way but the only difference was that I had my family around but he had no one by his side and that made my heart ache. “How's everything going? How's your family,” he asked, his voice clearer now. “Everything is well and they're all good, Leonardo,” I replied, propping myself up on my elbow. “They extend their gratitude for all you've done,” I informed him. “It was my pleasure. Anything to see you happy,” he said and I found myself smiling at his words.

    TESSAI missed this. I missed the unfiltered happiness that came just by being with family.“Thank you,” I said to Matteo and another of Leonardo's men as they helped load my family's luggage into the car.“Bloody hell,” Ella gasped, taking a step towards the car. “Is this a freaking Karlmann king SUV?” Her eyes widened as she traced her fingertips on the door handle.“Language, Ella,” mum scolded.“Sorry,” she mumbled, her eyes still glued to the car. “But seriously, how rich is this guy?” “Ella,” mum called again to put her in order but I laughed, shaking my head at how impressed she was at the car. I had no idea how rich he was. I never paid attention to his wealth or what he does to make them. But the one thing I knew was that he was very rich.Matteo pulled the door open for us and I could see the wheels of questions turning in both my parents' heads. I knew they'd have a million questions for me and as much as I wanted to be able to truthfully answer all their questions, I jus

    TESSA “Is everything set?” Leonardo asked Matteo as he carried the last of my luggage into the elevator. “Yes, boss,” Matteo affirmed. “Whenever you're ready, Signora,” Matteo said, waiting by the elevator doors.I nodded then turned to face Leonardo once more, clasping my hands in front of me as a smile made its way to my lips.He raised his phone to check something then dropped it back. “They'll be landing anytime soon. You should get going now,” he said. I nodded but couldn't tear my eyes away from him. I tried to memorise every line on his face, to have it ingrained in my memory like my only saving grace.My chest felt full but at the same time, there was a longing present. It was too complicated to explain. I was beyond ecstatic that I'd be seeing my family once more after months apart but I couldn't deny the fact that I was feeling a bit down about not seeing Leonardo for a while.It was crazy because a few months back I'd never have imagined I'd feel this way. If anything, I

    LEONARDOShe pulled back, brushing my hair back as a smile graced her lips.“Was that why you were being distant?” My brows drew together and my chest tightened painfully.“I know it's stupid— ” she said, shaking her head.“It's not stupid,” I watched her as she worried her lower lip. “Tell me.”She let out a small breath, tucking her hair behind her ears. She crouched down before me, staring at her palms that rested on my thighs.“I know I have no right to be jealous, but —” I frowned at her words and cut her off.“You have every right to be. If something bothers you, you say it. You don’t keep it in your head and torture yourself with it.” I reached for her chin, raising her face to meet mine. “I didn't like the way she touched you,” she said in a tiny voice with a little pout.“I know.”“I didn't like the way she looked at you.”I nodded, “I know.”“I didn't like…,” she lowered her eyes once more and her voice dropped even lower. “I didn't like watching another woman have an excus

    LEONARDO I never knew the amount of self-control I had until her. I never knew one could get pleasure by pleasuring someone else. I never knew I could get my satisfaction just by seeing her come apart. And now, watching her breathing softly with her hair sprawled across the pillow and her lips slightly pouted, I realized that was all the pleasure I could ever ask for. Her lips parted as she let out a soft moan in her sleep, causing my pants to tighten. She didn't have to lift a finger to get me turned on. Even in her sleep, with her hair everywhere, she was sexy and tempting without even trying. A chuckle escaped my lips and I brushed her hair from her face, my touch lingering on her cheeks. ‘You're too beautiful to be killed,’ I recalled the first time I saw her physically after that night. She'd looked scared, but her fear didn't stop her from being bold and even calling me crazy. I wouldn't have thought twice before putting a bullet to her brain. I never left loos

    TESSA“Tonight was perfect. Thank you, Leonardo,” I said as we got into the car, ready to head back home.“It was my pleasure, Tesoro,” he replied, his eyes never leaving mine.I relaxed into the leather seats, feeling my cheeks heat up at the intensity of his gaze.His left hand came to rest on my knee through the slit that cut up halfway, drawing little circles. I could feel the warmth on his palms and it ignited a fire within me.The driver started the car and pulled into the road. I tried to distract myself by looking out through the window at the passing cars and buildings that blurred by as we sped down the road, but my mind was running at a hundred miles.The car was quiet, left for the soft hum of the engine but there was a form of heated tension. I could feel it. And the way he rubbed my knees didn't help at all.“Did you…um, did you have fun too?” I tried to start up a conversation. Just anything to distract myself from the heat building inside me.I took a quick look at him

    TESSA It has been two unbearable weeks since I received the news that during the surgery, he went into a cardiac arrest and that landed him in a coma. Two weeks and the only proof that Leonardo was still alive came from a machine. Two weeks of listening to the steady beeping of the machine and pr

    TESSA“Tessa…” his voice was gravelly, like it hurt him to speak. His fingers curled weakly around mine as his eyes fluttered close. His chest rose in a shallow breath. I bit my lower lip to stop the sobs that came out. “I thought…” I exhaled through my lips in an attempt to calm myself down. “I

    TESSA I hummed softly, stirring as fingers brushed through my hair. My eyes blinked open, adjusting to the light. A dull ache shot through my neck from sleeping in such an awkward position, and I winced as I tried to lift my head. “Watching you sleep just became my favorite thing to do,” a deep,

    TESSA I lost track of time as I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling above. The moonlight came in through the window, illuminating the room. It was half past eight when I finally found the strength in me to get up and freshen up. I put on a long silk robe that reached to my ankles after taking a
