“Hey Chrissy, I’m going to order breakfast. Are you good with just some Special K and fresh fruit?” I ask her through the door. “Yeah, that’s cool with me. Can you get some pulpy orange juice, too, please?” “Okay, you going to be long, or is it okay to place the order now?” She slightly opens the door with her phone pressed against her chest and pops her head out. “I’m just going to have a quick shower. I’ll wash my hair when we get back home.” “Okay, I’ll make the call now. Do you need me to pack anything while I wait?” “Umm... You wouldn’t mind just throwing everything into my suitcase, will you?” “I wouldn’t have asked if I did.” I cock my brow at her, smiling. “Yeah, yeah.” She laughs closing the door and I hear her speaking on the phone to Conrad in a muffled tone. Turning away and hearing enough of their conversation. I go into the kitchen and order our breakfast then I walk around the suite making sure everything is in place and I haven’t left any of our belongings lyin

A knock resonates through our hotel suite, and I glance up at the clock on the wall. Somehow, forty minutes have managed to pass by in what feels like twenty. I pull the door open, and I’m greeted by a man dressed in an all-black, expensive looking suit. “Miss. Maddison?” He asks me as he removes his sunglasses from his face and tucks them into the breast pocket of his jacket. “Let me guess. You're with Luca?” I ask, unimpressed, contemplating if all his men are dressed like they belong in the Mafia. Hmm… I wonder if they have to personally purchase their suits or if there is a one-time uniform allowance given to them. “That’s correct. My name is Anton.” He straightens his spine and puts his hands behind his back. “At ease soldier.” I lightly chuckle and open the door wider, gesturing for him to come in. “May I inquire who will be driving the car back?” I ask as I go to retrieve the keys on the dining room table. “Derry is waiting down bottom. He has strict instructions to brin

It surprisingly takes me only thirty minutes to unpack my things. After I shove my bags back into the bottom of my closet, I go into the kitchen and check the fridge and cupboards. I want to make something for dessert to make the dinner feel less formal and more of a social gathering.I pull out my homemade cookbook, made up of recipes I got from G****e that just happened to be a tasteful success. A chocolate banoffee pie screams out to me as I flip through the book. It only takes thirty-five minutes to make and sets within an hour and a half. That leaves plenty of time to set before we are to sit and eat dinner. ***I finish cleaning up, and there’s a knock at the door. To my surprise, I am greeted by Cullums' presence as I open the door.Trying to keep the shock out of my voice, “Cullum, is everything okay?” I ask him and invite him inside.“Yes, everything is fine, Miss. Maddison.”I quickly pop my head outside and take a brief look to see if he brought someone with him before shut

As promised, Luca arrived to pick me up two hours later. Right on time, neither a second early nor a minute late. He couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue as he watched me climb into the Beast with the box that had dessert inside of it. I smirked and playfully teased him, letting him know that he would have to wait until dessert to uncover the surprise. I was captivated by one of his enchanting smiles that I seldom witnessed. Upon our arrival at his penthouse, I promptly placed the dessert in the refrigerator. Luca went to freshen up and change into something more relaxed. I notice a bottle of wine resting on the bench. I retrieve two wine glasses from the cupboard, uncork the bottle, and carefully pour the glasses halfway before taking them into the living room, delicately placing them on the coffee table. “Do you think you should be drinking, Vanessa?” I feel his breath on my nape. I slowly turn around and face him. “I’m sorry,” I say as I scrunch my nose up at him. “I saw th

I faintly hear a conversation being held in the Italian tongue as I slowly awake and groggily sit up on the sofa, stretching my sleepy limbs. Shit, I must have dozed off. “You're awake.” A chirpy voice pipes up. “Hmm?” I stand up and turn around. There, I am met with two sets of eyes. One belonging to Luca and the other… Rosalia? I gasp. She's more beautiful than I could have imagined. “Aunty, Vanessa?” The young lady walks towards me with a friendly smile on her face. “Rosalia?” I know who she is because she holds a striking resemblance to Celeste. Gorgeous! “Si, I hope we did not wake you from your nap. But, I'm glad that you’re finally awake!” She throws her arms around me and squeezes the near life out of me, making me laugh. “I am so sorry, I don’t remember falling asleep,” I say sheepishly as my cheeks slightly start to turn pink. Rosalia starts to pull back from our hug, but I hold on to her a bit tighter, stopping her. “I have so many years to catch up on with hug

I step into the kitchen and begin to rinse the dinner plates in the sink, carefully placing them into the dishwasher. My thoughts start to wander, and I find myself reflecting on Rosalias' words. Imagine how different life would be if Celeste were here. Would she and Giovanni have ended up getting married and having more children? Would I have a spouse by now, and what career path would I have pursued? Would our parents still be happily married and more involved in our lives? There are countless possibilities for the directions our lives could have taken. Strong hands firmly hold my hips as my back presses against a solid chest. Luca gently brushes my hair aside and plants a tender kiss on my neck. “What is wrong, cara mia?” He whispers in my ear. His warm breath plagues my skin with goosebumps. “I’m fine.” I sigh, unwilling to offer more of an explanation. Liar, liar pants on fire… “Then why have you been scrubbing the same plate for the last five minutes.” He murmurs bef

There's nothing more fear-inducing than the anticipation of receiving the test results. It feels like an eternity has passed while I've been waiting in Keris' office, even though it's only been a mere ten minutes. The most intense ten minutes I have ever experienced. I found the experience of waiting for my exam results to be quite intense. I couldn't help but constantly refresh my email page, dreading the moment when the results would finally appear, confirming my passing grade. I can't say that I'll be devastated if the test turns out to be positive this time around. I can handle this. I now have friends who will support me. What's that African proverb again? 'It takes a village to raise a child.' I may not have a village behind me, but I definitely have some incredible friends. What a foolish phrase anyway. Why would anyone require a village to raise a single child? I begin to contemplate the significance of the saying and ultimately conclude that newborns are fundamental

I exit the room and make my way down to the hospital lobby area. “Nessa?” A familiar voice calls out. I turn around and see Sanz standing in the corner with another man. I give him a little wave, and he walks over to me. “Is everything okay?” He asks, his voice full of concern with his eyes matching. “Yeah. I was just visiting a friend.” I shamelessly lie to him. “What are you doing here?” My gaze drifts to the man he was with earlier. “That’s Carlos.” Sanz smiles, wagging is brows in a frenzy wave. “He’s an ER doctor, and… I've been seeing him for the past couple of days.” A sly smile crosses his face, and he winks at me. “You’re gay?” I whisper, my voice full of shock. “I’m Bi. I'm kind of a greedy prick.” He adds with a smile filled with pride. “I had no idea!” I lowly exclaim. “No one ever does. It's so much fun gorging everyone’s reaction the first time I tell them.” He snickers. “He’s very good-looking.” The words leave my mouth before I’m able to stop them. “You w
