I didn’t think.

That was the truth of it. No calculation. No pause. No weighing of consequences. I was standing there in the blue light of the jellyfish tank, she was looking up at me, the distance between us was small, and I just closed it.

I kissed her.

It lasted maybe three seconds.

By the fourth, I knew I had made a mistake.

Not even because of Aria, not immediately. But her stillness told me everything I needed to know. She hadn’t leaned in. She hadn’t pulled away. She had ju

    0117~Pierre~I didn’t think.That was the truth of it. No calculation. No pause. No weighing of consequences. I was standing there in the blue light of the jellyfish tank, she was looking up at me, the distance between us was small, and I just closed it.I kissed her.It lasted maybe three seconds.By the fourth, I knew I had made a mistake.Not even because of Aria, not immediately. But her stillness told me everything I needed to know. She hadn’t leaned in. She hadn’t pulled away. She had just… received it. Like someone trying to understand what had just happened rather than being part of it.That alone should have been enough.I didn’t even get to finish that thought.Something hit me from the side.Not a casual shove. A real push, deliberate, meant to move me. I stumbled, my shoulder hitting the glass of the tank, and I barely had time to turn before the punch landed.It was clean.I’ll give him that.Luca Moretti knew how to throw a punch, and I wasn’t about to pretend otherwise

    0116~Aria~The dress was deliberate.Not in an obvious way. But I had chosen it intentionally. A navy wrap dress. Something that worked at a desk, at lunch, anywhere in between. Heels that were professional enough for the office but still good enough for wherever the afternoon might go.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself.This was fine.This was a woman going to lunch with a friend, then going back to work. Nothing more. Nothing complicated.The fact that I had taken a little longer than usual to get ready did not mean anything.It did not.I could have told Luca to take the afternoon off.My father would not have questioned it. He had done it before. He would do it again. I knew that. I had actually stood there, in front of my wardrobe, thinking about it. Thinking about picking up my phone and asking Céline to pass along the message.That Luca was not needed until later.I had almost done it.Then I put the phone down.Because I was not going to arrange my life aro

    0115~Aria~I did not like it.That was the simplest way to put it. I did not like it, and I could not change it. So I did what I had been doing all week. I took it, folded it up neatly, and placed it in the same mental space where I kept every other thing I did not like but had no control over. Then I moved forward.Shanghai was an opportunity. A serious one. The kind that came from people who had been watching quietly and had decided that Santoro Enterprises was worth their time. I was not going to let something personal, something messy and unresolved, interfere with what Shanghai represented.I got dressed.Structured. Clean. Professional. The version of me that walked into rooms and got things done without hesitation. Céline had already sent the morning brief before seven, which meant she had been working since six. That alone told me I had made the right decision hiring her.When I stepped into the corridor, Luca was there.I did not slow down. I walked past him like he was part

    0114~Aria~"Father?"I was already pushing the covers off before Céline could even finish speaking. My feet hit the floor as panic rose sharply in my chest. "What happened to my father?""Nothing, nothing, Ms. Santoro." Her voice came quickly this time, almost tripping over itself. "He is fine. He is completely fine. Please calm down."I froze.The movement stopped all at once, like my body had been interrupted mid-command. I sat down slowly on the edge of Josie's bed, my heart still racing, still trying to catch up with what I had just heard. The room was dim, the early morning darkness pressing in, and my breathing felt uneven, like it needed time to settle."He is fine?" I asked again, quieter this time."He is fine," Céline repeated. "I am so sorry. I should have said that first. I did not mean to scare you."Beside me, Josie had woken up. She was watching me closely, her eyes alert, trying to read my expression, trying to decide if she needed to get up or stay where she was.I l

    0113~Aria~A week.Seven full days of routine. Wake up early. Dress. Work. Come back late. Sleep. Repeat.I threw myself into it completely.Not just to avoid things, even though part of it was that. But also because the work actually needed me. And I had the focus to give. The two came together in a way that made sense.The results started showing.Céline noticed before I did. She didn’t say much, she rarely did, but I saw the small tick marks she placed next to certain figures in the reports. That quiet satisfaction she got when things were moving in the right direction.It was working.The field work was the best part.Getting out of the office helped. Being on-site, seeing things directly, the hotel developments, the logistics hubs, the vineyard. Pierre’s team was ahead of projections and needed oversight. Real oversight, not just numbers on a screen.Walking through it all with Céline beside me felt… efficient. She was always prepared. Always one step ahead. Documents ready befo

    0112~Luca~The drive back felt like punishment.Aria sat in the back seat, quiet the entire time. Not the kind of silence you ignore. The kind you feel. Heavy. Intentional.She didn’t look at me once. Her eyes stayed fixed on the window like there was something out there worth more than anything inside the car.There was one moment.Our eyes met in the mirror.Just briefly.She looked away immediately. Like holding it for even a second longer would have cost her something.“Thank you, Mr. Moretti.”Mr. Moretti.I felt it again.She had been calling me Luca since the first week. The shift had happened so naturally back then I hadn’t even noticed when it stuck.Now it was gone.Replaced with that. Formal. Distant. Final.A door closing in four syllables.I pulled into the estate and she was out of the car before I had fully stopped. Same as the morning. Clean. Efficient. Like she had already decided how this was going to go and was following through without hesitation.I watched her wa

    0043~Aria~Pierre.I let the name sit for a second. Just a second."Interesting name," I said.He raised an eyebrow slightly. Still with that unhurried quality, like the supermarket aisle and everything in it was operating on his schedule rather than anyone else's."And yours?" he asked. "Or shoul

    0021~ Aria ~The words hung between us, heavy and intoxicating, making every nerve ending in my body light up with anticipation. I could already feel myself getting wet, my body responding to the dark promise in his voice with embarrassing immediacy.Yes. God, yes.But then his expression shifted.

    0013~ Aria ~I woke up sore.Not the pleasant, lingering ache of a good workout, but the deep, bone-deep soreness that came from being bent into impossible positions and fucked with relentless intensity. My thighs protested when I shifted in bed. My hips felt bruised. And there was a tenderness be

    0007 ~ Luca ~In my adjoining room, I paced like a caged animal.This was insane. All of it. I was supposed to be controlled, professional, above base urges.Instead, I was completely obsessed with my boss's daughter. Couldn't think straight when she was near. And tomorrow night, I'd have to watch
