-SIENNA-

Sister? Will this family nightmare ever end?

"You've got it wrong. I don't have a sister"

"Sienna? Sienna Madsen? Is that you?"

"Please, lady. Just go away. I'm asking politely, but if you insist, I'll call the police."

"I know David Harrington was the worst kind of s.hit. I'm just asking you for half a hour of your time. After that, I promise I'll go away, and you won't ever hear from me again."

"Twenty minutes. After that, I'll make you leave the easy or the hard way. It's your choice."

I pressed the button to open the door downstairs.

"Are you sure about that?" Michelle gave me a questioning look.

"I am not. But as you said, I have to come out of my shell to face my fears. That's the only way to overcome them."

"Okay, I'll message Hank to be on stand by. The cops can take too long to come here, and my giant man is a teddy bear, but he can be truly in

  • Don't fall for your fake husband   Book 2: Chapter 42

    -CHRIS- Snow was falling over New York. I stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, facing Central Park outside, with a glass of whiskey in hand. The park lay beneath a blanket of snow, the bare trees stark against the pristine, powdery ground. It was a beautiful black and white canvas, a painting that my mood wouldn't allow me to enjoy. It was a chill winter's day outside. Though the penthouse heating was on, I still felt colder. This had been my state since returning from the Napa Valley—I felt like a walking corpse, dead inside. I sipped my single malt, hoping the burning sensation going down my throat would somehow warm me. But it didn’t. Nothing can help when you know your heart is about to be torn from your chest. And you'll be the one to do it. Even with my back turned, I sensed Nina's presence instantly. The air felt different, charged with a warm energy. She brightens every room she steps into. I gave her the keys to

    -CHRIS- Returning to the house in Napa Valley where I spent my childhood after such a long time felt strange. Just a few days ago, I left Nina in Italy and flew back to the US. After handling the most pressing issues in New York, it was time to shift my attention to the more significant matters. That means making Nina my wife as soon as possible. When she comes home next week, everything needs to be ready for the proposal. Since the engagement ring plays a very significant part, it needs special attention. And I wanted to give my mom's ring to Nina. That explains why I crossed the country to go back to the house where I grew up, the place I had so many horrible memories. All of my mom's jewelry is securely kept in a safe in our family manor. The house remains untouched, just as she left it, with her clothes still hanging in her closet. My uncle hasn't moved a single item. Although I understand this may not be a weird move, it didn't seem right to touch her personal bel

    *Warning: Explicit content -NINA- My father is a very old school guy. There was no way he'd allow Chris and me to share a bed in his house. Sometimes, I feel he likes to think I'm still a virgin, despite knowing about the whole mess involving the s.ex tape. He placed Chris in the guest bedroom on the opposite side of the house. Ideally, he wanted Chris to stay in the spare room in the storage house outside, but my mom vetoed that idea. Someone had to stop his madness. Now he keeps patrolling the corridors during the night like a freaking prison warder. Chris doesn't mind. He wants to please my father at any cost. It's ridiculous to see how close they are, especially if you consider the intense moments following our arrival in Italy. Now, they often watch soccer games on TV together, share beers or bottles of wine, and even play scopa—a traditional Italian card game that I find incredibly boring. But today is the first day of the year, and I'm on my limit. All I want

    -CHRIS- "You want what?" Alberto's eyes locked onto mine, brimming with fury. "I don't think I heard you right." Holding his gaze, I spoke clearly, "I want to seek your blessing and marry your daughter." From now on, I'll be with Nina, and nothing will ever stop me. With eyes wide open and eyebrows furrowed, he threw his arms up in the air, utterly incredulous. "Ma sei pazzo? Are you crazy?" "Yes, I am. I’m crazy about Nina and I want her to be my wife." I kept my voice steady, so he could be sure how serious I was. Nina's father is a kind and honest man. When you're on his good side, it's fantastic. However, if you cross his family, he becomes like an enraged bear, capable of tearing you apart in an instant. Right now he's terrifying. And I don't care. I want her. I need her. And I'll do everything to make it happen. Even if it means getting punched in the face by a middle-aged Italian. "Let me get this straight. I wel

    -NINA- I'm not a shallow person, but I have to say that dating a billionaire has its perks. You won't need to arrive at the airport hours in advance, there's no hassle with numerous connecting flights, and the level of comfort is simply unbelievable. Plus the privacy. Let's just say, I'm now a member of the mile high group. Chris and I landed in the morning in Florence and took a rental car for a one-hour drive to Montaione, where my family lives. We had barely parked the car outside my parent's house when my mom came rushing in toward us. "Tesoro! Ero in pensiero!*" my mom exclaimed as she pulled me into a tight hug, planting kisses on both of my cheeks. "Let me see you. You look beautiful, Carolina. Your skin is glowing, and I absolutely love your hair longer." "Thanks, mamma. You look great too." I replied, immersing myself in her comforting scent of tomatoes and basil. "Have you seen Chris?" I quickly motioned with my arm towards the direction where he was carry

    -NINA- "I loved this gray tile you chose for our backsplash. I have to say, I had some doubts when you showed me the sample, but now I'm glad you convinced me, Harper." Sienna was leaning over the kitchen counter, running her hand over the tiles on the wall. A few weeks had passed since my return from Austria. Chris and I had an incredible time in Vienna. The city is stunning, a paradise for architectural enthusiasts. We even squeezed in time to enjoy a Mozart concert in the Schönbrunn Palace's Orangery. After our return home, I dove headfirst into my new project at work. It's been a tiring, yet amazing experience. The real challenge has been juggling work and personal life, which involves not just Chris, but also my side project as Sienna's architect. Today Harper and I were visiting Sienna's place. The renovation work was nearly complete, and the space looked stunning. The apartment layout had become much more functional, accentuating the bu
