Kai’s POV

I was supposed to be focused on work, but my mind kept wandering back to last night with Amelia. I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t focus on work. My thoughts kept drifting back to her, and I found myself smiling for no reason at all. I glanced at the time—still hours until midnight, when I promised to pick her up again.

Screw it. I reached for my phone, scrolling to her name and hitting call before I could second-guess myself.

The phone rang a few times before she picked up. "Hey," she said, her voice soft and warm, just hearing it made my heart do this stupid little flip.

“Hey,” I replied, smiling. “What are you up to?”

There was a pause, and I could hear her shifting around on the other end of the line. "Not much, just reading books to kill time. You?"

“I should be working,” I said with a chuckle, “but I can’t stop thinking about you.”

I could hear the smile in her voice when she responded, "Really? It's not e

    3 years laterKai’s POVThe steam from the shower clung to the room as I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel loosely tied around my waist. Moscow’s skyline stretched beyond the window, glowing faintly in the cold night.I grabbed the hairdryer from the dresser, plugging it in with one hand while running the other through my wet hair. Just as I was about to start, a knock came at the door.I paused, glancing at the clock. It was late, too late for room service or staff. My jaw tightened as I set the dryer down and walked to the door.Opening it slightly, I saw a blonde woman standing there with a cleaning trolley. Her red lipstick stood out against her pale skin, and her blue eyes had a sharpness that didn’t match the cheerful uniform she wore.“Dobryy vecher,” she said with a polite smile.“Speak English,” I said curtly, already annoyed.Her smile faltered for half a second before she switched to English, her accent thick. “Do you need cleaning services?”I frowned. “This room was cl

    Amelia’s POVI woke up to the feeling of a cold, hard surface beneath me. My head pounded, and my body felt heavy as though I had been dragged through a storm. Blinking against the dim light filtering into the room, I sat up slowly, my muscles screaming in protest.The room was unfamiliar—gray walls, a single chair, and a bed that looked like it had seen better days. There were no windows, just a dim bulb hanging from the ceiling. Panic surged over me as the events from earlier came flooding back: the rushed packing, the knock on the door, my mother crumpling to the floor, the sharp pain in my neck.My mother.I shot to my feet, ignoring the dizziness that followed. My breath came in shallow gasps as I rushed to the door, yanking on the handle. It didn’t budge. I pulled harder, using all my strength, slamming my fist against the unyielding wood.“Let me out!” I screamed, “Where’s my mom? Let me out!”I continued struggling with the door, my heart hammering in my chest. Then a voice ra

    Kai's POVThe dining table felt more like a prison. Anastacia sat beside me, her perfectly manicured hand resting too close for comfort on the table. Her perfume, an overpowering mix of vanilla and roses, made my stomach churn. I clenched my jaw, silently counting down the seconds until I could escape this nightmare.Across from me, the grand double doors opened, and my father, Don Alessandro, entered with his usual air of authority. His smile was deceptively warm as he took his seat at the head of the table.“Good evening,” he said, his tone laced with the expectation of respect.Anastacia returned his smile. “Good evening, Don Alessandro.”I barely acknowledged him, keeping my eyes on the untouched plate in front of me. Silence filled the room, broken only by the sound of cutlery against plates as we ate. The weight of my father’s presence pressed down on me, suffocating.Finally, he broke the silence. “So, Anastacia,” he began, his deep voice commanding attention, “when do you thin

    Amelia POVThe morning light filtered through my curtains, stabbing at my already pounding head. I groaned, pressing a hand to my temple. I had woken up like this for the past three days—miserable, exhausted, and completely heartbroken.Three days. That was how long it had been since Kai broke up with me. Three of the worst days of my life.I still didn’t understand why he ended things so suddenly. One moment, we were fine—well, as fine as we could be with everything going on—and the next, he was telling me it was over. Just like that. No explanation that made sense.My eyes burned, still swollen from crying all night. I hadn’t slept much, and when I did, I’d wake up feeling even worse. My body felt like it was falling apart, but I kept telling myself it was just the stress, the heartbreak.I dragged myself out of bed, deciding I needed to shower. Maybe the water would wash away some of this heaviness. But as soon as I stood, a wave of nausea hit me out of nowhere. My stomach churned

    Kai’s POVI sat in my office, staring at files spread across my desk, the weight of unanswered questions gnawing at me. Why did my father kill Vladimir? What was their relationship? Each clue I found led to more confusion. My phone buzzed. I grabbed it instantly, hoping it was a text from Amelia’s mom. Nothing. Just a useless notification. I needed her final decision, needed to know where this was all heading. A knock on the door pulled me from my spiralling thoughts. Before I could respond, the door creaked open, and my therapist walked in, clipboard in hand and an expression that promised yet another uncomfortable session. “Can I come in?” He asked with a bright smile as he stood by the door awaiting my approval“I mean, you’re already in, so you can as well come have a seat” I answered. I had invited him back again just few months after I fired him, but this time, I did it on my own free will, Natasha did not have to pester me about how my mental health has gotten worse over the p

    Amelia's POV“ uhmm... why do you think she wouldn’t want to celebrate it?” Kai asked after a while“She has never celebrated it, she doesn’t even like talking about him. After my father’s death, she didn’t even bother getting the police involved or even conducting any investigation to get justice for him. I don’t know why, but it’s unfair, and I really want to get justice for him even though it’s been over a decade since his death” I said“How did he die?” Kai asked again“He was murdered but I really want to know if his killers were sent by someone or acting independently. And what ever the case is, I want everyone involved in the death of my father to pay for their crime. I don’t care what it takes me, I’ll definitely get just for him” I said. Silence stepped in as soon as I said that, Kai did not say anything for a while, it was as though he was thinking about what I had just said. “I’ll support you in whatever way I can” he said, giving me a smile that didn’t quite reach his eye
