Massimo pov

I didn't know how to behave or how to calm down. My mind was racing with thoughts. What could be going on with her? Fuck, they better not touch her. I clasped my hands together as I tapped my feet nervously on the floor.

My phone rang and I pulled it out. Father's name was on the caller ID. I hesitated for a moment, not wanting to answer it, but I did anyway. I pressed the phone to my ear and remained silent as I waited for him to speak.

“Pierre is ready to work with us, I need you here by six am tomorrow.”

“I can't,” I said firmly, and there was a long pause before Father spoke.

“It's not a request.” His voice was laced with anger.

“I'm not your puppet, go find your favourite son to attend your meetings since he's so important to you.” I shot back at him. There was a loud silence, before his voice cut through.

“If you're not here by six tomorrow morning, you'll not like what…”

“Do your worst,” I said, disconnecting the line and tossing the phone away. I can't handle

    Valeria pov “Zayn, what are you doing here?”“I could ask you the same. It almost looks like the universe wants us to meet so badly.” I rolled my eyes at his corny jokes. “I love it when you do that. It reminds me of…” “Zayn.” My voice was firm as I cut him off. He gave me a mischievous smile. “I missed you, don't you miss me?” he bit his lip seductively. I sighed heavily. “I don't.” I looked around, hoping Massimo wasn't around. I wouldn't want him to see me with Zayn. “That's harsh, I still miss you, though.” “Am I supposed to be glad? Why don't you go to whatever meeting you have here?”“How can I go when you're right in front of me?” I pinched the skin in between my brows. “Zayn, please. I don't have time for this.”“Come on, Ria, I just want to talk to you. Just 5 minutes.”“I don't have five minutes to spare.”“How about 4? 3? 2? 1.”“1 minute, that's all.” We walked to a less open area. “I'm listening,” I said sternly as I crossed my hands on my chest. “You've become s

    Valeria povThe apartment Karl brought me felt cold and empty. Mostly because it was snowing in Paris, and Massimo had still not returned. I was starting to feel restless. I paced up and down in the room. I was in a basic top, and draped around me was the bed cover. I didn’t want to wear anything else. What at all could be happening right now? Karl also rushed out earlier and hasn't returned since. What is even happening? I'm still wondering why Massimo brought me along this time around. He always did things solo or went with Karl. Is there another motive for bringing me along?My mind went back to Zayn. “Oh for fucks sake, why do I keep thinking about him?”“Thinking about who?” I jumped, startled at the deep voice that echoed in the room. I turned around, and it was Massimo; he looked terrible yet hot at the same time.My eyes scanned his body. He had bruises…and blood? My heart skipped a beat, and I dropped my blanket as I rushed to his side. He had blood on his arm. I grabbed i

    Valeria pov “Take him away.” They pushed Massimo into the car, and he gave Karl a look before entering. I turned to Zayn, who looked shocked to see me. They drove away, leaving us standing there confused. “Valeria, please get in the car, and let's go.” “Do you know this guy, Ria?” I tucked my hair behind my ear, I was so confused at this point. And Zayn spawning out of nowhere was never on my bingo card. “Ria?” “Zayn, I know him. Why are you here?” “I've been living in Paris ever since I left America. You didn't know that?”I shook my head no. “Valeria.” Karl's voice was firm. I know he's just doing his job because Massimo would flip if he saw me speaking to Zayn. “Zayn, I need to go. I'm swamped.” “Well, can I at least get your number? It's been so long. I miss you. ” I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Zayn….I'm married.” There was a long pause, and he ran his hand through his hair frantically. He scoffed. “Wow…that's…congratulations.”“Thanks.”“Is he the one who just go

    Valeria pov I opened my eyes slowly and realised that everywhere was quiet. I peeped through the window, and it was night. Massimo had fallen asleep. I needed to pee, so I got up slowly, making sure not to wake him up. Karl was also asleep as I walked by him. I stood up quietly, taking slow steps so the floor wouldn’t creak, but then…I heard a sound. A small voice.It floated from behind me, soft but sharp enough to make every hair on my body rise.My heart thudded hard, and I froze.No… That couldn’t be real.I swallowed and forced myself to keep walking, but the voice came again…louder this time, clearer, like it was right behind my ear.It was a woman's voice. Oddly familiar and eerie. I stopped. My chest tightened as I slowly turned around.And that’s when I saw her.A woman stood in the dim corner of the jet cabin, half swallowed by shadows. I couldn’t see her face, just the silhouette of her body. Still… stiff… watching.Massimo was asleep only a few steps away from her.My

    Valeria pov I hopped off Massimo’s bed and went straight to my room. He did it again. This is not the first time he has left me hanging. Why does he always do this? Why does he start when he knows he's not going to finish?Does he think I'm some toy he can play around with? Fuck him. All I could feel right now was anger. Why do I always let him get his way? I'm such an idiot. It was the next morning and I was petting Penny. She was wagging her tail happily as I gave her treats. I heard Massimo and Karl talking, but I didn't bother turning. Karl sped past me and I just continued petting Penny. I felt a presence behind me but I didn't want to look back. “Val.” Massimo’s deep voice echoed in my ear. “Mmh?” I still didn't look back. “Look at me when I'm talking to you.” “I look at who I want to, when I want to.” I spat as I stood my ground. He made his way to stand in front of me and I finally looked up at him. “Get dressed.” I slowly stood up. “Do not boss me around, I am not your

    Massimo pov It was so difficult keeping my hands off Val, I was holding myself back. Her almond eyes stared into mine, processing everything I said like a good girl. Her chest went up and down as she took in sharp breaths. “So you can feel this?” Her hand went under my shirt, and she rested her palm on my bare chest. Her hand was warm and so inviting. I let out an involuntary sigh as I enjoyed her touch. “Yes,” I whispered, and she looked up at me. “Why didn't you ever tell me about this?” I remained quiet for a while before I finally spoke. “I hate talking about it, I hate that I have it, and I hate that I have to deal with it.”“I'm sorry.”“You did nothing wrong, Val. Don't apologise.”She bit her lower lip as she stared at me through her lashes, and that did something to me. She grabbed my hand and pressed my palm on her boobs. I swallowed as I watched her. My hand worked its way around her boobs. It was so firm and perky. I squeezed lightly, adding the other hand and cupping t
