ELENA

STAY IN CONTROL. I kept repeating the words as I followed Luca’s lead back to the penthouse I had run away from half-broken.

"Welcome to my humble abode," Luca said, his voice smooth and playful as he pushed the door open, stepping aside to let me walk in.

I arched an eyebrow at him, crossing my arms as I stepped over the threshold. "You know I've been here before, right?" I said, giving him a look, watching for any reaction.

Luca smirked, shutting the door behind us with a soft click. "Yeah, yeah," he waved a dismissive hand, "but you stepped in at night and left the next morning. That doesn’t count as a visit, does it?" He walked past me, leading the way into the sitting room, his tone lighthearted but laced with something unreadable.

I hesitated for a brief second before following, my gaze subtly scanning the apartment. It looked the same—clean, modern, and refined, yet something about the air inside felt different this time.

"Please, have a seat... if you wouldn’t mind," Lu

    LUCA ELENA—Just the sound of her name sent bumps crawling on my skin, it made my stomach turn in a dangerously unsettling manner. I didn’t know what it was, but I couldn’t ignore it. I had been with many women before, some elegant, some bold, some utterly predictable. There was always a pattern, a similarity among them. But Elena? She was in a league of her own—unreadable, definitely unpredictable. And the craziest part? I still couldn’t fathom what it was about her that made me lose my sense of reasoning. Maybe it was the way she looked at me as if she wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. As if she saw something beneath my carefully crafted mask. Or maybe it was her presence, calm but sharp, elegant yet unshaken. She wasn’t like the others. And that unsettled me. As a Moretti, as the heir to a mafia empire, I wasn’t supposed to be acquainted with just any woman. Attachments led to vulnerabilities, and vulnerabilities led to bloodshed. I had seen it happen before. But wi

    ELENAIF INDECISIVE WAS A PERSON. "Blue dress, red dress, black dress… which would be perfect?" I muttered, lifting the three dresses as I stood in front of my mirror. My fingers traced the delicate fabric of each one, my mind flickering between choices. They all seemed like perfect choices, yet I was so indecisive. "Wait!" I suddenly said, fixing my eyes on my reflection. "Why do I even care how good I look? Am I trying to impress him?"I scoffed at the thought. No. This wasn't about looking good for Luca. This was about control. This was a way of making him fall into my well-laid-out trap and making sure he never gets out. For that, I have to be just another woman enthralled by his charm, that's the only way this could work.Right? Yet, as I stared at myself, a thousand and one thoughts raced through my head that made it difficult to even listen to myself. I heaved, the words falling off my lips. "Elena… are you sure you can do this?"A ghost from my past clawed its way to the su

    ELENASTEP ON THE BRAKES ALREADY! It felt like everything was moving way too fast, and I just wanted to scream and step on the brakes.But I didn't."Dinner…" I muttered, placing my hand on my chin as if lost in thought. My gaze flickered toward Luca, his expression …waiting.This is what I've been waiting for, for so long now—to find Luca Moretti and bring him down. This was it, right? The start of my revenge, but yet, it still felt overwhelming.I hated to be overwhelmed. After a long pause, I finally nodded. "Alright then… dinner would be fine."For a split second, I saw something flicker across Luca’s face, a hint of satisfaction, maybe even relief. A small smile threatened to break through, but he quickly masked it, clearing his throat as if to compose himself."Mm… mm…" He coughed slightly. "Alright… that’s fine. When though?"I tilted my head, pretending to consider it, though my mind was already set. "Call me or text me, and we’ll talk about it."Luca nodded, his gaze lingeri

    ELENATIME SLOWED.As we stood there, the warm sunlight streaming through the kitchen window, I felt his eyes lock onto mine. The intensity of his gaze sent a shiver down my spine, making my heart stutter in my chest. His fingers tightened around mine, firm but not forceful, and at that moment, I could feel the connection. It mirrored the sparks flickering within me, an undeniable pull that I wasn’t sure I wanted to resist.The air between us thickened, heavy with an anticipation that neither of us dared to acknowledge out loud. Every second stretched, every breath drawn out, as though time itself had paused to witness whatever was happening between us. Then, just as I thought I could break free from the moment, he leaned in. His breath, warm and teasing, ghosted across my ear, sending goosebumps trailing down my skin.“The secret ingredient, my dear, is not what you think,” he murmured, his voice a low rasp.My mind whirled. What did he mean by that? Was he playing with me, or was th

    ELENALOOK AWAY, ELENA!I repeated the words in my head over and over again, yet I couldn't pull my eyes away from his enchanting blue eyes.“Tell me, Elena." He began, leaning fully over the table. “Why did you leave without even the least thing as a goodbye?"I shrugged, pausing briefly to think of an answer other than ‘I regretted sleeping with you’. “What? Was I supposed to dress up in one of your oversized shirts and whip you burnt pancakes?" Avoiding the question was a better resort.“Burnt?" He choked lightly. “Are you that bad?" I scoffed, taking another long sip from my coffee. “Quite shocking, even to me. I never got the hang of it."He nodded lightly. “I can teach you."Cocking my head to the side, I raised my brows. “Oh really?"“Well, that is, if you'd take up the offer. It's free." He added.My lips curled up into a smirk. “And why would you do that?"It was his turn to shrug. “I don't know. If I could sit for hours at the restaurant where you work, waiting for you to s
