LILIANA

Damian’s hands are everywhere–skimming up and down my back, caressing my thighs, grabbing my ass, thumbs stroking just shy of my panties. He moves like he’s trying to memorize the feel of me.

I move over him just to see what it does to him and how much his self-restraint can take. It’s a dangerous thing to attempt on the plane, but I can’t help myself.

His grip tightens to halt my movement, at the same time that a curse leaves his lips.

“You’re enjoying this too much,” he breathes, touching our foreheads together as he tries to gain control.

I smirk, leaning back in so I can join our lips back together. He captures mine and moves hungrily against me. I press closer, and with slow rolls of my hips, I continue to tease him.

Thread by thread, his restraints begin to snap.

“Liliana…” His voice is wrecked.

“You like it when I do that?”

His fingers dig into my thighs, his response a low, guttural sound from the depths of him. “You know exactly what you’re doing.”

    LILIANAIt’s been a couple of weeks since the grand discovery of Andros as one of the key antagonists and news going around is that he has fled the scene. It’s hard to even imagine him playing a role as a villain. Power sure corrupts.In the meantime, Theodore is showing me the ropes of taking over the company which by the way was going bankrupt before he saved it. Now, the hard part is over, thanks to him. All I have to do is oversee the operations and make sure all is going well.How hard can that be?So everyday until four in the evening, it’s like a simulation using the study as the field. He makes me go through mock reports, financial breakdowns, marketing strategies and internal disputes.I’m learning more than I ever thought I could about a company I used to think was just some bland building with numbers.“Don’t look at me like I’ve just spoken Greek,” Theodore says one afternoon, tossing another thick file onto the table. “Figure it out, Liliana. You have instincts, so use t

    LILIANAThe atmosphere in the car as we head home is so tense that not even the sharpest edge of a sword can cut through. Damian’s words keep replaying in my mind and I manage a look at Theodore who also hasn’t said a word since. “Why didn’t you say so?”His jaw flexes once, before he turns to me. “I didn’t think it was necessary to.”“You didn’t think?” My voice rises a pitch. He raises the window between the driver and us with a button. “Andros, all this time while playing dedicated bodyguard to Damian, killed my niece, and you think your inability to think is an excuse?”“Lil—”“I tried to trust you. I tried not to keep things away from you since we were both victims of the same man and just one simple truth, you held that away from me so you could do what? Protect your brother?”“I’m not protecting my brother.” The passing lights illuminate the angry lines on his face. “He’s dead to me.”I pause. The words take me by surprise.“Because I was sold off to Kyle, he was determined to

    DAMIANThe string quartet plays something that sounds like a mourning in disguise. More like an obituary rendition for my miserable heart. It’s not meant to be, I know. But everything sounds like grief to a man who has lost what matters the most.Liliana’s body is tense in my arms and her spine stiffens. Her shoulders are pulled tight like she’d rather be anywhere else than with me. She cannot even lift her gaze to my face and that tears into my wounds afresh. I don’t blame her. Yet, I can’t let go. I keep my hands resting on the small of her back, trying to remember the warmth of her, and my fingers just keep trembling with the effort.God, what if this is the last time I touch her like this?She’s not putting herself through the punishment of dancing with me. She’s just…enduring.Even if she doesn’t look at me, my eyes cannot seem to leave her face. Six months away from me really worked wonders for her and it makes my heart ache all over again. She’s always been beautiful in this

    LILIANAFrom my peripheral vision, a tall figure walks toward us in a stride I have memorized in the deep, dark recesses of my mind. Some things can never be erased no matter how hard we try. For example, the feel of him stroking inside me, reaching depths I never knew existed. But all of that does not even hold a candle to the ache this man has carved into me by himself. That’s how I’m able to slink out of the chokehold he has on me.By the way, where’s his whore? I don’t see her around trying to ruin anyone’s happiness. It’s like she senses and repels a joyous atmosphere. Selena pulls back and gives me a little spin which, unfortunately, puts me directly in the hands of the man I’ve been fighting to ignore all night. With deft movement, he catches me, pulling me flush to his chest and for a moment, I forget to breathe. He’s not even shameless about the way he looks at me like I’m something essential. Like I might disappear if he dares to blink. The way his gaze doesn’t falter fro

    DAMIANLiliana still detests me.She looks at me with so much animosity that breaks and terrifies me, shaking me to my core. She looks at me, but sees past and over me. She’s broken. She wants nothing to do with me. She’s angry. And that’s my fault. Without a single doubt. All I ask however, is how to make up for every single one of my mistakes. I can’t take her silence. I can’t take fucking take it. My gaze strays to the newly wedded, dancing couple in the center of the floor while all I truly care about is the drink in my hand. Until, the woman of my dreams walks in like she did when my men brought her bound to my basement, upending my world and the walls I’ve built around me.I have to talk to her. Maybe she’ll realize then how the power she wields over me. Or how I’m scared of this distance between us. Or how I’m going insane with the need to touch her. Maybe she’ll realize how I want to spend the rest of my days at her feet being a fucking simp for her.Groveling.Worshipping.

    LILIANAI never thought I’d say this but here I am in front of a grand reception hall with dignitaries lining throughout the entirety of the place. It’s teeming with security teams, flashy cars, dazzling women and men in dapper suits.Everyone is dressed to kill. Unfortunately, so am I.Theo steps out of the car to open the door for me, holding a hand out as I carefully make sure I don’t trip on this dress he picked out for me. He does have quite the taste, I give him that.Our invitation cards are scanned when we get to the entrance and just before we get in, I turn my head just in time to see a figure watching in the darkness. Theo tugs my hand, bringing me to the awareness of my surroundings as we step into the room. The figure is forgotten the next instant.The moment I walk in, it feels like I’ve walked straight into a fairytale. Soft golden lights trickle down from crystal chandeliers like melted stars, casting everything in a dreamy glow. The air smells of roses and something s

    LILIANA“Are you busy?” Theodore says from the door, looking at the diary in my hand with interest. “You’ve been holed up with that book for weeks now. Sure it’s still nothing?”I close the book and sigh, despite the terrible wave of sadness that rolls over me. “It’s just…” The words get stuck.I’ve read the book to a point of obsession, as though thumbing through the pages over and over will make me feel closer to my Lajla. It does. Only alongside it comes the ache that is now ripping through my chest, carving a hole everytime.Arbana deserves worse than death for the decline of her daughters. His gaze softens. “Since you returned, you’ve been avoiding all forms of interactions with me and I understand why. But if you need someone to talk to, I’m around the corner.”The door clicks softly as he leaves and guilt swirls. I’ve judged him even after listening to his side of the story. Six months ago when I returned, I wasn’t expecting to hear his open confessions like that.I knew somet

    TRIGGER WARNING ⚠ LAJLA/STELLEZAThe man called Kyle hands the phone back to me with a smirk and leans back in his seat. “There. He should be fine now.”Just as I try to call Damian quickly, Nicolo pulls the phone out of my hands and slips it into his pocket, grinning. “Where were we?”Hysteria climbs steadily, heating my skin and nearly sending me into a craze. “You cannot do this! You cannot touch me without consent. You do know you're a notable individual and you know what that spells for your reputation.”“Wrong, bella. It’s not rape if we have your consent.” Immediately he says those words, something sharp pricks my neck, leaving before I get the chance to grip it. “What was that?” I rub the spot and bring my fingers to my face. There’s nothing. “What have you done to me, you bastard?”“Wait a while, bellisima,” Nicolo leers while fucking me with his eyes. “A few seconds more.”They’re all watching me with an anticipation that sickens me, waiting for some reaction. I pause to o

    LAJLA/STELLEZA“Have you seen your brother?” I ask the moment I spot Zoran in the reserved room of his club. He’s not alone. His friends also flank both sides of him as they drink and discuss. Judging by their stance and the atmosphere, it is the right timing.He nods, smiling at me. “He had to handle business and told me to tell you to give him a few hours.”Sadness settles around me at the news. Business kept him away from me for two weeks and now he’s gone off on another round. As if reading my mind, Zoran approaches me, gentle in his stride as he leads me to another secluded area that is off limits.“It’s just business he has to handle. I promise you he’ll be back before you know it. Some things have been tampered with in his absence and he’s working to tie up loose ends.” His phone pings on cue. “Oh look, he just asked if you’ve arrived.”That seems to settle my worries only a little but not completely erase it. “I’ll just wait then.”“Sure you don’t wanna join me and my friends?
