“Ana,” Hugo said. And somehow, tonight, my name sounded different on his lips.I kissed his mother on the cheek, complimented the mansion’s interior, and spoke with his father about Italian paintings.I answered sharp questions with calm smiles and graceful arguments.Even when his younger sister asked, with thinly veiled sarcasm, whether I knew how to cook,I replied with a lighthearted story about kitchens and a digital food start-up.And so, the evening flowed on.They couldn’t help but like me. And Hugo… couldn’t hide his fascination. I caught his gaze more than once— When I laughed, When I explained my market research, When his mother touched my arm and said,“You know, you have a presence that feels… just right for this family.”I leaned against the balcony railing, breathing in the night air tinged with the scent of pine. The city lights shimmered below like stars spilled across the earth.Then came footsteps—too composed for a man in a suit—drawing closer, until the air around

Two days after that kiss, the world was still in an uproar.But I remained silent.I let the media spiral into madness, let the name Ana top the search trends, let gossip analysts dig into a past they didn't know—and would never find.Hugo had vanished for two days.No messages. No calls. Nothing.I should’ve felt relieved.But instead, it made everything feel even heavier.Hugo was a man full of surprises. And when he went quiet... it meant he was planning something.And I was right.At eight in the evening, Holly walked into my apartment with a wary expression. In her hand, a tablet—already streaming a live broadcast.“Ana, look at this.”Live coverage is underway on a leading business news channel. A lavish conference room, the camera fixed on an empty podium.Then, Hugo stepped out from behind the curtain—black suit, dark gray tie, and a gaze sharp enough to cut through glass.The commentator's voice echoed:“Today, at the main corporate conference of Max, Hugo Maximiliano Cassila

His lips claimed mine in a dominating, unyielding kiss. Firm. Possessive. It wasn’t tender. It wasn’t passionate. It was a declaration. A statement. A conquest.Camera flashes exploded around us like fireworks. Reporters shouted over one another, microphones pointed at us like weapons.I didn’t kiss him back. But I didn’t pull away either. Because my body froze. Because for all my intent plans of destruction, I hadn’t prepared for what it would feel like—to be touched like this, in front of the world, by the man I was supposed to hate. The man who once laughed at my pain. The man who now held me as if I belonged to him.Silently, I tasted bitterness.My first kiss …Not born of love. Not born of sincerity. But stolen by the manipulation of a man I utterly despised. He took it without permission. Without remorse.And the worst part? The world believed I wanted it.When he pulled away, Hugo turned back to the cameras. His breath was steady. His voice, unwavering: “The official engagemen

The next morning, Hugo arrived earlier than I expected.I hadn’t even finished fixing my hair when I heard a soft knock on my hospital room door. Before I could answer, the door opened—and there he was, walking in with that signature overconfidence that always seemed a little too much for someone who was, ultimately, only human.He carried two cups of coffee in take-away holders that looked far too aesthetic for something meant to be disposable, along with two still-warm chocolate croissants in a chic Parisian-style paper bag. And—of course—he brought his usual infuriating aura, the kind that was impossible to ignore no matter how hard one tried. He entered the room like a lead actor who knew, without a doubt, that the spotlight was his. And damn it, it was.“Good morning, favorite patient,” he greeted lightly, with that half-smile of his that was far too lethal for this early in the day. “Ready to be released from this white prison?”I shot him a sharp look. “I’m not imprisoned. I’m

"Am I really that handsome?" Hugo asked, still staring at his phone screen, though the corner of his lips curled into that annoyingly smug smile.I immediately turned my gaze to the window, then the IV drip, then the sterile white hospital wall that suddenly seemed oddly captivating. As if the pale paint could somehow save me from the flush of embarrassment creeping up my neck."Who was staring at you?" I muttered quickly, far too defensive to sound casual. And way too flustered to be a coincidence.Hugo chuckled softly. "I could feel it, you know. That stare. Like a laser burning into the side of my face. Intense. Warm. A little threatening, too."Damn. I had been staring too long."I was just thinking," I said, fiddling with the blanket in a poor attempt to look busy. "And your head just happened to be in my line of sight. Not my fault you sat there.""Oh," he said, as if the thought had just occurred to him. "So this is a seat placement issue?"He stood up with theatrical flair, dr

Hugo smiled as he pulled a chair closer and sat beside the wheeled bed that cradled my body."I'm here because I want to be. It's my duty to stay by my fiancée’s side."His voice was calm, gentle—almost too soft for someone like him.I turned my gaze toward the window. The silhouettes of trees swayed quietly under the autumn breeze. Dry leaves danced in the air’s delicate current, and for a moment, I wanted to leap from that window. To fall into a world that didn’t know me. A world without Hugo in it.“I don’t need you here,” I said, still looking outside.“But I’ll stay anyway,” he replied, quick and firm.A bitter smile tugged at my lips.If only you had done this five years ago, when I first woke up from that cursed night.If only you had stayed when all the strands of hair I once took pride in began to fall, leaving me bare and broken.If only you hadn’t turned away and left me to face those days alone.If only… then maybe today, I would’ve chosen to share this bed with you.To le
