HEAD OVER HEELS••Luciana••That was how we ended up fifteen minutes late for breakfast.I couldn’t even wear the dress I originally planned because it required too much fitting and adjusting, and after everything that happened earlier in the room, there was simply no time left. My hair was barely cooperating, and I settled for something simpler.Roman stepped out of the room first. I followed shortly after, trying to compose myself as if nothing had happened.Everyone was already seated at the dining table when we arrived.Lorenzo sat at the head of the table as usual, Nadia beside him, Mildred and Theo already deep into quiet conversation. Breakfast had been served neatly, steaming dishes arranged perfectly across the long table.I took the empty chair beside Roman.His hand brushed lightly against mine under the table. We are at breakfast for crying out loud. I avoided looking at him because I knew one glance would expose everything written across my face.Breakfast went on mostly

MY FIRST KISS IS SPECIAL ••Roman••I didn’t expect Luci’s next move.She stayed still for a while, as if she was trying to process the words I had just said. "You are going home for Christmas." Her eyes remained fixed on mine, wide and searching, like she needed confirmation that this wasn’t another teasing promise or something temporary.Then suddenly, like an activated bomb, she jumped on me. She wrapped her arms around me excitedly, wriggling against me as laughter escaped her lips, and the force of her movement sent us both crashing onto the bed. We landed flat, her body on top of mine, our faces only inches apart. The mattress dipped beneath our weight, and for a second everything felt weightless.Then the reality registered. She froze abruptly."Hnm… hmm," she cleared her throat awkwardly. "I was just… sorry… um."She struggled to find words, her confidence suddenly dissolving into shyness. She detached her arms from around me and tried adjusting her position, clearly attemptin

OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS ••Luciana••Christmas came earlier than I expected.I had spent the last two weeks with Roman, attending events together, accompanying him to elegant dinners with families close to the Orlovs. The days moved quickly, almost unfairly so, blending into one another until I barely noticed time passing. One moment it was early December, and the next, Christmas morning was already here.Mildred had explained everything to me beforehand, carefully walking me through how Christmas was always celebrated in the Orlov household. Gifts were shared early in the morning before breakfast, followed by preparations in the grand hall where everyone worked together setting up decorations, arranging food, and organizing the evening Christmas party. According to her, the celebration lasted the entire day, filled with laughter, music, and guests arriving one after another.Knowing myself, I realized there was no way I would comfortably give Roman his presents in front of his entire fam

ANYTHING FOR YOU PRINCESS ••Luciana••I woke up to Roman sitting beside me. I felt a touch on my hand, warm and steady, and the soft scent of tea with honey drifted through the air, gentle and comforting. For a moment, I thought it was a dream, one of those fragile morning illusions that disappear the second reality settles in, until I opened my eyes and saw his face clearly, watching me with a smile that looked almost… peaceful.Roman Orlov was sitting beside my bed, holding my hand, and smiling at me. Wow.I blinked slowly, trying to adjust my vision to the room as sunlight filtered through the curtains in pale golden streaks. I sat up carefully, and the smell of tea with honey became even stronger, wrapping around me like warmth on a cold morning. I turned toward my bedside table and saw it waiting there. Tea and toast arranged neatly on a tray, steam rising softly as though it had just been prepared."I got you breakfast," Roman said."Oh! Thank you." I smiled, still slightly stu

I WANT YOU ••Roman••I am short of words.I don't know whether to be angry or impressed that Luci confronted my father, Don Lorenzo, alone. The thought kept replaying in my head like a stubborn echo that refused to fade. I was shocked when she said it. She can be very daring, bold in ways that surprise even me, but I didn't expect it to reach this extent. This time she truly let her emotions get the best of her, and with my father, emotions are gasoline near fire."You can't just do what you think is right, Luci." I said.Even though it made me annoyed, I tried to control myself. My tone stayed steady, but inside my chest everything felt tight. Anger mixed with worry in a way that made it hard to breathe properly."Relax Roman." She said.I studied her expression carefully. She might be trying to show that she's not bothered about it, wearing that stubborn calm like armor, yet she clearly knew it was out of line. Her shoulders were stiff. Her eyes avoided mine for a second too long.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?••Luciana••"I finally discovered something the good about Sicily." Roman said.His tone carried that lazy victory sound he used whenever he believed he had made a grand discovery about the universe, or at least about my world. His chair creaked slightly as he leaned back, looking far too satisfied with himself for a man who had nearly licked the plates clean.We just finished eating, though we couldn't finish it all but we ate a large portion of it with Roman going wild in the side dishes. It was obvious he enjoyed the meal.He had attacked the table like a general reclaiming lost territory, sampling everything twice and pretending he was only “analyzing flavors.” The empty bowls betrayed him."What do you mean?" I asked.I folded my arms and watched him like a suspicious judge about to reject weak evidence."The food" he said. " It is so good. At least now I know the Sicilians have nice dishes."He nodded as if signing an international treaty of approval."You amus
