TESSAThe music was much louder now than it was inside the car.I hadn't realized when Ella rounded the car till she looped her arm through mine, a wide smile on her face.“This is wild!” She laughed, clearly still amazed. “Look at all of this.”My gaze followed hers.The entire town square had been transformed into a display of colors and bright banners with people dressed in traditional costume and masquerade masks, dancing and moving in a procession.I couldn't help but stare. It was indeed a very beautiful sight.“Can we get closer? I want to see what's happening over there,” she said, pointing to a distance. Mum, dad and Jason came down from the car behind, looking fascinated by the view. Giovanni also alighted since the roads ahead were practically blocked due to the festival.We got closer, mixing with the crowd as they cheered loudly to the performance of some masked dancers in what looked like an elevated stage.“Oh crap. I think I forgot my phone in the car,” Ella said bes

TESSA They say you know you're falling when you can't stop thinking about someone. When they’re the first thought on your mind every morning and the last one you drift to sleep with each night.When you find yourself smiling to the sound of their voices and counting down the seconds left till you're able to hear them again.When you feel whole because they complete every broken piece you harbor. When you learn to accept them entirely, flaws and imperfections. With Leonardo, nothing else mattered. I didn't care about how absurd our relationship was, I didn't care about how dangerous his world was. I didn't care that feeling this way was like walking into a battlefield with no armour to shield me. All I cared about was him and these feelings he stirred up within me.It's been a week since my birthday and each day ever since, it felt like I was getting to know him much better.We'd talk for hours on call about the most random things, sometimes laughing till my stomach hurt.He loved

TESSA I took a shower and got dressed in a two-piece swimsuit I found among the numerous gifts on the bed, wrapping a knitted sarong round my waist and placing a straw hat on my head. I grabbed a pair of sunglasses and some sunscreen from one of the bags before heading out of the cabin. Following the spiral staircase, I came up to the upper sun deck, holding the railing for support as the wind blew through my hair. “And right here we have the birthday girl!” Ella squealed as she approached me, her left hand draped on my waist while her other hand held up her phone in front of us as a video was recording. “Hi,” I smiled, waving at the camera. “Happy birthday, sis. I love you so so much.” “Thank you,” I blushed as she kissed my cheek before turning to face the camera once more. “She's the best sister in the whole world and I'm so lucky she's mine,” She said and I saw some heart emojis go up on her phone. “Awwn,” I dramatically placed a hand on my chest. “That's really sweet. I'

TESSAOh. My. God.Was I dreaming?“Did I like my—?” I blinked rapidly, trying to register his question as I walked back to the windows. I had no idea I was holding my breath till my chest started to feel tight, but even at that, I feared to make even the faintest sound.I couldn't believe my eyes. “Leonardo… what's this?” I asked, my voice still hoarse from sleep as I flattened my palms on the window, my eyes still glued to the massive yacht floating on the ocean. He chuckled, the deep sound resonating through the phone speakers and sending tingles through my body. “It's my queen's birthday. I can't be there with you, but it doesn't mean I can't give you the best day,” he said, his voice smooth, making my knees weak.My heart felt full, excitement and longing crashing together in my chest. My eyes stung a bit at the sides. I'd never had anyone do something this grand for me. But Leonardo was really going out of his way to make so many experiences really special for me.“Leonardo…,”

TESSA My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sunlight spilling in through the full length windows that gave an exceptional view of the ocean below. The sounds of the ocean crashing against the shore and the melodic chirping of the birds filled the air, rhyming with the serene contentment I felt within. A wide smile made its way to my lips as memories of last night resurfaced in my mind. I bit on my lower lip to try to contain the excitement that flooded my chest. Everything felt perfect. Him, me, what we had between us— whatever that was, it was intoxicating. Never in a million years would I have allowed myself to be bold and daring in the way that I was last night but with him, things felt easier. He brought out a different version of myself. He made me feel okay with a lot of things, always taking what he wanted, but putting my needs and comfort first and I loved every second of it. I loved how I wasn't scared or ashamed to explore certain aspects of my life. It was ver

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.

TESSA It felt so good to be home. Home. A sudden calm filled my distraught thoughts as the elevator doors opened. I helped Leonardo into the penthouse, my mind returning to that night before his accident. How disregarded I felt as he walked out after I'd poured out all my emotions to him. We st

LEONARDO I couldn't breathe. The ropes bit into my skin as I thrashed to free myself, but the harder I fought, the deeper I sank in these endless waters. I tried to yell for help but all that came out were sounds muffled by the waters. I couldn't hold on any longer. The surface seemed so far

TESSA“Is–is that blood on your shirt?” Panic rose in my chest as I stared at him. Red stains splattered across his shirt.I raised my eyes to meet his. They were dark, void of any emotion. I desperately prayed for it not to be what I was thinking but a deeper part of me knew exactly what it was.M

TESSAI didn't answer, not because I didn't want to stay, but because I was scared. Because anything I said right now could break either of us. But the look on his face as he thought I was repulsed by him was even more heart wrenching.“No,” I said quickly, squatting in front of him. “No, I don't
