ANMELDENThe way Luci switched from calling Roman to Rom. Aww🥹
I OWN YOU••Luciana••Marco Valerio. The name rang in my mind like a bell, loud and unsettling.I remembered the accident that took Andrian and gave me this scar at the side of my stomach. It was the Valerios who were behind it, the ones who tried to destroy Roman. This man, the one responsible for so much pain, was at the core of all the tension.As soon as Roman heard the name, I saw his reaction shift. His body stiffened, and his shoulders tensed. His eyes burned with an intensity I hadn’t seen before. His anger was palpable.Vikoz and Theo returned to our booth. "They’re gone now," Theo said, his voice low but steady.Roman’s gaze didn’t falter. He kept his eyes on the door where they had just left. His voice was sharp when he spoke. "Who allowed them in?" he demanded."They're new security guards. Just on shift," Vikoz explained. "They claimed not to notice anything off about those guys. That’s why they let them in."Roman’s eyes narrowed, a sign that his patience was running thi
SON OF A BITCH••Luciana••For a whole week, there was nothing but continuous celebration. The New Year festivities took over, and I didn’t even realize how fast time had passed until the second week. Everything went back to normal so abruptly, like it had all been a dream. I was finally in a routine, even though I wasn't exactly sure how to handle the shift in my life.The second night after I returned from Sicily, I had gathered the courage to tell Damian about what happened between Roman and me. His reaction was typical, he squealed, excited to squeeze out every single detail. I wanted to strangle him from the phone. There's no way I was telling him about how Roman’s touch made me feel, or how he had been gentle with me in ways I’d never imagined. He was a dreamer if he thought I would share such intimate things with him.As usual, Damian took the opportunity to lecture me on everything, from how I should take things slow with Roman, to how often we should be intimate, and how to
FALLING ••Roman••I can’t tell what Luci did to me, but I know that what we had tonight is something I’ve never experienced before. The sex was different, she responded to my touch in a way that felt like a revelation. Her moans weren’t too loud or too low; they were just the right sounds to drive me crazy. Every time her body moved, every time she gasped or arched her back, I was more certain: this was the best night of my life.It wasn’t just the pleasure, though; it was her. The way she opened up to me, the trust in her eyes. I’d never known anything like it. There was this rawness, but it wasn’t weakness. No, it was strength in its most beautiful form. And it was all for me.Luci was more than just a woman to me now; she was my everything.••Luciana••The sound of clattering woke me from my sleep, pulling me out of the dreamlike haze. I rubbed my eyes, trying to adjust to the light in the room. Roman was standing at the edge of the room, his back facing me. And, of course, as us
I WANT YOU••Luciana••"Are you sure, Luci?" He asked quietly.My voice trembled slightly. There was a nervousness I couldn’t shake off, but at the same time, there was this undeniable pull, a fire burning between us that I had never felt before. He had this way of looking at me that made my insides flutter, like I was the only thing that mattered in the world at that moment.Roman’s hand rested gently on my elbow as he sat me down on the bed, his eyes locked on mine. "We don’t have to do this if you’re not ready," he said softly, his voice low, as if the weight of the moment was sinking into him as well. "I want this to be right for you, Luci, not just because I want it. It’s about us, and I need you to be completely ready."I swallowed hard, my heart racing in my chest. The air between us felt thick with tension, a shared understanding that this was no ordinary moment. It was more than just a physical connection, it was about trust, vulnerability, and the bond we had built over time
TAKE ME UPSTAIRS ••Luciana••"I love you Luci."With those three words, my breath was knocked right out of me. The smile I had faded, not out of negativity, but shock. It wasn’t the kind of surprise I expected, but it still left me speechless."What?" I asked, my eyes wide, the sound of fireworks echoing in the background.He brought his forehead close to mine until they were gently touching. "I love you," he repeated softly, without breaking eye contact, his voice steady and genuine."You do?" I whispered, still unable to fully process what he had just said. I had only seen happy tears in movies, and now, here I was, experiencing it myself. The weight of his words was so powerful, so real, that the tears started flowing.It was all too much. Roman, the man who had once been my reluctant partner in a forced marriage, had now become my perfect love. And in that moment, everything shifted.12:00 AM on January 1st— my life had just turned into a beautiful fairytale."I love you too," I
HAPPY NEW YEAR••Luciana••I arrived at the Orlov's house a few minutes past 4 PM, just in time for New Year's Eve. The whole house was filled more than I had ever seen before.Theo had come to pick me up from the airport, filling me in with details about the events going on in the house. Roman was too occupied to come himself, so I was left to handle things on my own.As I walked through the house, I noticed it was decorated beautifully. I didn’t recognize many of the faces, but a few of them waved or acknowledged my presence. They might have known me from the past events I'd attended as Roman's wife, but I couldn’t place them.I made my way upstairs to change before joining the party. In the six days I had spent in Sicily, I couldn’t stop wondering what our new life would be like now that Roman and I had crossed the line. There were still so many questions, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to find all the answers.I took a last look at myself in the mirror, adjusting my diamond jewe
