"Stop over-worrying, Clara. You'll be fine." I said as Clara smoothed her peach dress again.

"I don't want to do this. I can't do this. His family are even worse than him; he'll feed me to them, and they'll devour me without thinking." Clara panicked as we walked into the foyer. "I should pretend that I'm sick again. I'm sure I can convince Lorenzo this time. I can say I have the flu or a cold or a brain-eating virus or—"

"Stop." I stood in front of her and grabbed her shoulders. "Overthinking won't help you. Hell, you'll end up more stressed."

"I know, but I just can't help it. You don't know these people. They're vile. Silvano might not acknowledge me, but at least he doesn't insult me. His family, on the other hand..." She muttered and pressed her lips into a thin line.

"I might not know them, but I know the universal rule of all b*tchy people: if you're timid and fearful, they'll finish you. But if you act confident and show them you aren't intimidated, they'll back down. You need

    Logan narrowed his eyes at me, and I smirked. I knew it; he was only pretending to be cool with it."What? Got a problem with that? Didn't you just say it's a good idea she has a boyfriend? The sooner the better, right?" I grinned."You're such a pain in the ass." He grumbled as he glared at me."I won't be if you just admit that you're in love with—""Lorenzo is around.""Really? You're not just saying that to make me stop disturbing you, right? If you’re lying I'll kick your ass into next week." I glared at him."Yes, I'm saying it to make you stop disturbing me, but no, I'm not lying. He's in Pablo's office, but—"Before he could complete his statement, I was already out of the kitchen and made a beeline straight to the office as I grinned like a fool.I slammed the door open, and my heart raced when I saw him."Lorenzo!" I squealed and threw myself on him, giving him a big kiss."Gwendolyn!" Pablo hissed, and I quickly stood up from Lorenzo's lap."I know you're attracted to Raimo

    "I'm back, guys." Gabi grinned as she sat by my side at the VIP lounge. "Oh, you remember us? I thought you forgot that you didn't come to the club with Dexter." I smiled. "Sorry, I didn't mean to, but I got too caught up in our conversation." She blushed. "So what conversation were you two having for the past two hours that you forgot your friends?" I asked as I took a sip of my non-alcoholic drink. "Oh, just random stuff. Nothing really serious, but he did, kind of, ask me out on a date." She said shyly as she pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Aww, a date. Tell me you said yes." Clara squealed. "Well, not exactly." She mumbled. "Why?" I frowned. "He's obviously interested in me, but I don't want to lead him on because, you know, I'm still unfortunately attracted to that asshole." She pouted. "But I told him I'll consider." "Honestly, I think you should go for it. It will make Logan even more jealous, as he should be. You should have seen how pissed he lo

    "I know you don't need me to get anything." Logan scowled as we stepped into the parking lot."Right, but I can't let you stand in the way of the beginning of a blooming romance." I grinned as I leaned against the car."There's no blooming romance between them. He's not her type." He growled."And what exactly is her type?" I rolled my eyes."I don't know, but I know he isn't. He's too... He's too... You know..." He fumbled with his words."No, we don't. I don't see anything bad with him, but I can't say much because we just met. He's not a bad guy, is he? You knew him in high school, right? What was he like?" Clara asked."No, he wasn't a bad kid. He was two years my junior but fairly popular because he was one of the smartest kids in the school; I heard he skipped a year. And he was quite good at football. Trust fund kid but works really hard. The last time I heard of him, which was a year ago, he was working in his father's company and making him proud." Logan shrugged."Smart, har

    The club was in full swing by the time we got there, and Gabi, Clara, and I immediately hit the dance floor to party like crazy. "I'm so glad I came with you guys. I'm having so much fun." Gabi yelled over the loud music as she danced."Of course you are. We're the best people to hang out with." I grinned."Do you think he'll keep staring at us, or rather, Gabi, like that? It's been over twenty minutes." Clara asked, nudging at Logan, who sat at the bar, sipping his drink as he pretended not to be blatantly staring at Gabi like he was waiting for the worst to happen.Even when a couple of girls flirted with him, his gaze hadn't ever left her."Let him stare. I don't give a f*ck. I just want to go crazy." Gabi grinned."He's acting like a creep, though. It's a little bit unnerving; I don't know if his worry over you is cute or crazy." Clara replied."Both. I think I should go tell him to stop staring at us like an idiot. He's literally scaring potential boyfriends away from afa

    "Uh? A dress, obviously." Gabi scowled."Obviously it's a f*cking dress, but why are you in that?" Logan growled."Because I'm going out. You don't expect me to go to the club naked, do you?" She rolled her eyes."For f*ck's sake, no! But you can't go out like that! You're going to change! Right now!" He grabbed her hand and tried to drag her away, but she shrugged him off"You can't tell me what to wear! I don't care if you think I look ugly; I'm still—""I don't think you look ugly; you look hot! F*cking hot!" He hissed, and her eyes widened."You really think so?" She blushed as she held back her smile."Yes, so does—""Careful. Dad's going to have your balls if he hears you say that." Michael teased, walking into the living room. "So what's the hold up? I thought we would have gone by now.""Look at your sister." Logan pointed at Gabi."What?" He asked after staring at her nonchalantly for a few seconds."Can't you see what she's wearing?" Logan scowled."Yes, I can. I

    "So is it too early to ask for that kiss?" Michael asked as he suddenly cornered me as I was on my way to breakfast.“What kiss? Ugh, I don't have time for your bullsh*t this morning, Michael." I frowned as I tried to walk away, but he blocked me."Come on, don't you remember? You said if I could convince Dad to let you have your little girls' fun, I would have a kiss. You can't go back on your promise; I've been thinking about it all night." He pouted."I didn't promise you anything, for f*ck's sake. We agreed to help me, and in return you'd be my bodyguard. That's it. I don't understand what crazy talk you're spitting right now." I growled."Sheesh, take it easy. I was only joking." He chuckled, and I rolled my eyes. He was dumber than I expected if he expected me to believe he was just joking.His creepy, twisted mind actually wished I would kiss him. Eww, I'd rather eat hot coals than even dream of doing that."I've got a lot of things planned for today, so I don't have the patien
