ENZO’s POV

Survive.

The word wouldn’t leave my head.

I went back to my room after she left. Staring at nothing. That word echoing.

Like being here was killing her.

Like I was killing her. Slowly.

I walked to my desk. Opened the drawer. Pulled out a cigarette.

I’d quit years ago. But I kept a pack. For moments like this.

When the control slipped. Especially when the carefully constructed walls started to crack.

I lit it. Took a long drag.

Let the smoke burn my lungs.

She knew exactly what words

    I took a moment before answering. “After I was adopted, I lived with a woman and her daughter for about two years. Then they had to leave the country, and I was returned to the orphanage.” Daniel’s expression changed. “They couldn’t take you with them?” I shook my head slightly. “Well, it’s complicated.” He nodded, deciding not to push further. “And after that?” “After I turned eighteen, I left the orphanage and started a new life. I became Nina Nyx, a ballet dancer.” His eyes widened. “Wait, what? You became a ballet dancer?” I laughed. “Yes, Danny.” “Wow! That’s incredible. I always knew you were good at dancing, but I never imagined you’d actual

    NINA’s POVThe checkup went better than I expected. The doctor was satisfied with my recovery, although he still advised me to take things slowly and avoid putting too much strain on myself.Enzo had stepped outside to answer a call, leaving me alone in the examination room. I was scrolling through my new phone when the door opened.I looked up, expecting the doctor who had attended to me earlier, but another man walked in, holding a tablet in one hand.He glanced at me, then stopped.“Nina?”I raised my head. “Yes?”He stared at me for another second, a smile slowly spreading across his face.“You don’t remember me?”I studied his face, trying to place him. There was something familiar about his eyes and the shape of his smile, but I couldn’t immediately remember where I’d seen him.“I’m not sure,” I admitted.He chuckled.“It’s me. Daniel.”I blinked.“Daniel?”“Yes.”I stared at him before my mouth fell open.“Oh my God! Daniel? Like Danny?”He laughed. “Yes, Danny.”I couldn’t bel

    I watched Nina walk toward the building until the glass doors swallowed her from view. I stayed in the car for a few minutes, the engine still running, my hands resting loosely on the steering wheel. Bruno glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “Sir, are we heading somewhere?” I didn’t answer immediately. He noticed the hesitation on my face and waited. “No.” I paused. “Actually…” “Sir?” I looked toward the building again, then leaned back against the seat. “How do you think Nina would react if I gave her a proposal?” Bruno blinked. “Sir?” “What proposal?” I hesitated, trying to find the right way to explain it. “I mean…” I rubbed my jaw. “She does seem to still have feelings for me.” Bruno stared at me for a moment. “You mean you want to ask her to be your wife?” “Well, that.” I paused. “But maybe not that fast. A slow step.” “Oh.” Bruno turned slightly in his seat to look at me properly. “You mean girlfriend to fiancée, then wife?” “If

    When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the headache. The second thing was Enzo. He was already dressed, sitting in the chair beside the window, watching me. I blinked a few times before pulling the blanket higher. “Why are you staring at me?” “You got drunk last night,” he said. I frowned, trying to remember exactly how much I had drunk. “Oh.” Enzo stood up. “You don’t need to come to the office today. You need to rest.” I immediately sat up. “Are you firing me for getting drunk after office hours?” He stopped and looked at me as though I’d just accused him of something completely ridiculous. “What? I didn’t say that.” “You basically did.” “I told you to rest.” “And I’m telling you I’m fine.” “You have a headache.” “I’ll survive.” He shook his head, but there was a faint smile on his face. “Fine. Do whatever you want.” “Good.” I pushed the blanket aside and got out of bed. “I’ll get ready in a minute.” Enzo stared at me for a momen

    ENZO's POV I was halfway home when I glanced at the clock on the dashboard. I picked up my phone and called Bruno. “Did Nina get home safely?” “Yes, boss.” I relaxed slightly. “Good.” There was a pause. Then Bruno added, “But she’s been moody since she left the office.” My grip tightened around the steering wheel. “Moody?” “Yes.” “Why?” Another pause. “She saw Dante.” My stomach dropped. “She what?” I pressed harder on the accelerator. Bruno didn’t say anything else. I ended the call and drove faster. By the time I reached the estate, my mind was already running through every possible thing Dante could have said to her. I stepped inside and immediately spotted Rosa. “Where’s Nina?” Rosa turned toward me. “She’s upstairs.” “Did she eat?” “She came back and went straight to her room. She hasn’t come out since.” I didn’t wait for anything else. I took the stairs two at a time and reached her room within seconds. “Nina?” No answer.

    Enzo was standing by the wardrobe, fastening his watch. “Get dressed. We’ll have breakfast downstairs.” I walked over to the dressing table, picked up my hairbrush and began working through my hair. “By the way, Nina.” “Hmm?” “You don’t need to keep working.” I stopped brushing and looked at him through the mirror. “What?” He reached for his jacket, took something from the inside pocket and placed it on the dressing table beside me. A black card. I stared at it, then at him. “Another one?” He gave me a faint smile. “The first one I gave you is probably still sitting somewhere in your handbag. You barely used it.” I picked up the card and turned it between my fingers. “And your solution is to give me another one?” “My solution is to make sure you have everything you need without having to spend your days working in an office.” I raised an eyebrow. “You know, most people actually have to work for a living.” “I’m aware.” “And some of us enjoy having something to do.” He w
