Massimo sat on the sofa as he sipped his whisky. Drinking this early was never a habit, but he was so stressed that he needed to blow off some steam.

His head was filled with so many thoughts. He and Karl had to leave for Paris again because their plan to take down the snake gang didn't go through as planned, so they needed a better strategy, one that wouldn't fail.

Val had called him earlier to inform him that she would be returning today, so he was waiting for her. Just then, in the midst of the silence and chaos, his phone rang, and he let out a loud sigh as he dipped his hand into his pockets.

The bright light reflected on his face, and he stared at the caller ID for a while before answering it.

He brought it closer to his ear, not saying anything. His hand tightened around the phone as his jaw ticked. He dashed out of the house right after that.

    “Mmmh.” Priya pulled away, breathlessly with her hands resting on his firm chest. “No.” She said through pants. “Come on, priya, don't deny yourself…”“I…no Karl, I can't do this. Especially with you.” she got down from the counter as she adjusted her hair. Karl stood there with a creased face. “Especially me? What is that supposed to mean?” Priya breathed out heavily and turned to face him. “Please Karl, we can't be anything. So we can't keep on doing this.”Karl ran his hand through his already messy hair as he let out a frustrated sigh. The air around them suddenly felt thick and awkward. “Are you sure? Because it looks like you want it, but something in you is telling you to deny it. Do you think I'll treat you badly? Come on, Priya, I'd kill for you.” Priya chuckled lightly. “Why would you even do that?” “Because I'm fucking crazy about you Priya, I'd do anything for you to notice me. I'd do anything for you. Just give me a chance and let me prove myself, I swear I'll not d

    “Karl.”Priya pulled back, her palm flattening against his chest as she glanced over her shoulder. “What are you doing? What if Val sees us?”When she looked back at him, she realised he hadn’t been listening at all. His attention was fixed on one thing…her lips.“So what if she does?” he said quietly.Priya stepped away, creating space between them. “This isn’t right, Karl. We shouldn’t be doing this.”He smiled, slow and knowing. “Is that so? Because your eyes are telling a different story. Don’t deny it, Priya.”Her gaze flickered everywhere except his face.“You don’t have to stand out here,” she muttered. “You can go inside.”Karl’s lips curved into a smirk. “Sounds like someone’s worried about me.”She lifted her chin. “I’m not worried about you.”Then she turned and walked away.Karl chuckled softly, watching her retreat.“Did he like it?” Val asked casually, biting into her brownie.“What?” Priya blinked. “Oh…yes. He did.”Val stared at her for a second longer than necessary.

    Priya sat on the sofa, gently squeezing the pillow in her hand and burying her face in it. Flashbacks of the night she kissed Karl replayed in her head and she felt so embarrassed. She couldn't even look at him and just rushed back into the house like a coward. How would she face him now? It would be so awkward. “Oh dear,” she sighed heavily, pouting as her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. She grabbed it as she brought it closer to her ear. “Hello.” “Hello, am I speaking to Miss Priya Singh?” She immediately sat up straight without even realising. “Yes, this is Priya.”“You applied for a job through our website for the cleaner's job at our restaurant, Tasty Bites.” Priya smiled as she nodded, forgetting she was on a phone call. “Yes, I did.”“Unfortunately, the cleaners' spot has been taken, so we can't pick you.” It felt like her whole world shattered as her face dulled. “Oh, is that so?” she said sadly. “However, we have a spot open for waitresses. Will you be intereste

    Massimo pov The idea of meeting her one-on-one disgusted me, but I had to do it anyway. I needed to put her in her place before it was too late. She has had enough fucking fun. Zara was already seated when I arrived. She smiled the moment she saw me, the kind of smile that assumed things hadn’t changed, like we were meeting up for a romantic date. I wonder when she'll wake up and finally realise that we'll never go back to how we were at first, but sadly she has psyched herself not to think like that. “Massimo,” she breathed, standing. “I wasn’t sure you’d come.”I didn’t return the smile. I didn’t lean in. I barely acknowledged the kiss she tried to place on my cheek.“Sit,” I said.Confusion flickered across her face, quickly replaced by delight she clearly misread. She sat, eyes roaming over me like she was starving.“You look good,” she said softly. “I’ve missed you.” Her hand moved slowly as her fingers touched my hand. I stared at it for a minute, my brows furrowing in confu

    “You’re leaving? Why?” Val looked like a wounded puppy as she gazed at her friend. “Is it because of what I said the other time? I'm sorry, I wasn't very considerate and I'm sorry.” Priya shook her head sideways with a smile on her face. “No, I'm not really bothered, and I'm not leaving because of what you said. I'm leaving for myself, I can't rely on you and your husband forever. That would be very selfish of me. I'm not a child, so I need to take care of myself. Karl already found me an apartment. You can come and visit anytime you want.” Val's shoulders fell, and she felt some way about her friend leaving. She somehow felt like it was her fault, that she made her uncomfortable. She looked at her, lips pressing into a thin line, and she nodded in agreement. Although she didn't want her to leave, she had no choice but to accept her decision. At the end of the day, she is her own person who needs to make decisions for herself. “Take care.” was the only thing she managed to say as
