Tabitha:

Sunday came around quickly. I stared at the ceiling in Enzo’s room and sighed. It was the best I had felt in days. He had made the weekend so fun and special that I didn’t even want it to end.

I turned my head and watched him at his desk, his computer on, his eyes glued to the screen, scrolling through numbers. He had been up early, and I just wanted to watch him. The way he carried himself, the way he stared at the screen when he was working, made him irresistible. He was perfect.

    Tabitha:Sunday came around quickly. I stared at the ceiling in Enzo’s room and sighed. It was the best I had felt in days. He had made the weekend so fun and special that I didn’t even want it to end. I turned my head and watched him at his desk, his computer on, his eyes glued to the screen, scrolling through numbers. He had been up early, and I just wanted to watch him. The way he carried himself, the way he stared at the screen when he was working, made him irresistible. He was perfect. His phone rang, and he answered it, talking clearly with that commanding voice that he used in the office, the voice that gave me shivers. I had watched him in meetings steal the entire room. Everyone listened to him. How could they not?“...No. Not yet. We will close the Hunchley’s deal on Tuesday. There are some logistics that I need to get out of the way first… Yes… I will make sure that those are delivered and get a message across to Miss Bolden. We should be meeting in the office next week t

    Enzo:She looked so small, so fragile, so… scared. I don’t think I had ever seen her like this, seen her so broken. It broke something in me. It made me hateful and angry at the world. I was facing the same. I could bear it. I was a man after all. I was born and raised to be strong and not care what society thought of me, but she…I caressed her wet face and moved closer to her. …she was just starting life. Twenty-one and still young, still new to this world, still full of hopes and dreams and love, and the world wanted to take it all away from her, wanted to drain her dry just like it drained me. No… I was never going to allow it. She was my life, my light source in this bleak, hopeless life I lived every day. There was no way I was going to allow the world to snuff her out. “Who told you ruined people's lives? Emily?”She nodded, and I sighed. Such a fragile little thing, and the world already wanted to break her. “Do you believe what Emily said?”She said nothing and lowered her

    Tabitha:A chill rippled through my body. I tried to reach for the blanket, but it wasn’t there. In fact… nothing was there. My eyes fluttered open and then closed again. My senses were dull, but in that brief moment, I saw the dimly lit room. The rain was still drumming hard on the windowsill and… there was a pressure… a presence. For a while, I didn't move, I didn’t open my eyes. The presence was still there, still looming, like it was looking right at me. I moved my hand and touched something, and my hand snapped back to my side almost immediately. And then I heard it… that familiar chuckle. “Are you still going to sleep, Princess?”“Enzo?” I opened my eyes and managed a small smile. He looked so handsome in the dim light. His hair was a mess, with a few streaks of grey in the glossy jet black, and he was wearing a shirt that clung so tightly to him that his muscles were on full display. “How long have you been watching me?” I asked weakly, sitting up. A lock of my hair fell on

    Tabitha:I watched his face, how the calmness and warmth on it slowly disappeared and made way for anger that I had not seen before. His hands shook, his face reddened slowly, and I began to regret showing him the video. Maybe I should have kept it to myself. Maybe I should have just let it die down and then go and confront Emily about it later. It was like hours had passed before he set down the phone and looked at me, his face unreadable, except for the slight flash of fury in his eyes.“Tabitha.” He said my name while he inhaled deeply, closing his eyes for a few moments and looking back at me. “What. Happened?”I lowered my head, unsure of where to start. My throat was tight with tears that I had been holding back since I was in the car. Enzo took my hand, and a stray tear fell on the back of his palm. I still didn’t look at him, but his deep voice ran in my head again.“Tabitha. What happened? Why is Emily saying all this? What did you say to her?”I took a deep breath and swal

    Enzo:It took a while before the crowd cleared up. I wasn’t proud of it, but I had to call the police. With the ongoing lawsuit that was against me, they were the people I wanted to speak to the least, but desperate times called for desperate measures. I leaned back into the chair and looked at Tabitha. Her eyes were glued to the screen, and her face was pale. “What happened?” I sat up and reached towards her, but she pulled away immediately and stuffed her phone into her pocket. “N-Nothing. It’s nothing… Just looking at Instagram.”I raised a brow. “But you looked so shocked,” I pressed on. “Yeah. Yeah.” She answered too quickly and tried to force a smile that contorted her whole face. “I was just shocked by the things that people are saying online. It’s just disgusting. Let’s get out.”Before I could get another word out, she opened the car door and hopped out. I shook my head and followed her. This girl still hadn’t learned her lesson. The store was empty, and I took a deep b

    Tabitha:The rest of the day was quiet. Edwardo made breakfast, but I couldn’t help but notice a slight limp in his step. He placed the French toast and berries on the table and smiled stiffly to hide the grimace behind his eyes. What was wrong with him? Was he being abused? Maybe he had bad employers elsewhere, and they were treating him badly. I took a slice of toast, and my face burned with delight. This was amazing! How could anyone treat him badly? He literally made the best food. “Am I supposed to be concerned?"Enzo had stopped eating and was smirking at me. His toast had barely been touched, and I seized the opportunity to steal a slice. The grin and warmth on his face made it all the more worthwhile. “Pilfering toast, are we?” He leaned in, his eyes narrowed, his smile eased up, and I felt my heart stop and start again. My body froze, and I was locked in that familiar sexy stare with him. “Maybe I should put you in cuffs,” he growled under his breath. He reached over and t

    Tabitha:“You.”My body shook with anger. Enzo stepped back, slight worry flickering in his eyes. “What did you do?” I demanded, placing an angry finger on his chest. I couldn’t stop hearing it: Nora crying, her eyes probably red and her voice hoarse. She liked Gregory, and now everything was ruin

    Tabitha:We ate in silence. We sat on chairs facing each other, but the entire time, my head was lowered to my food. Even though we had opened all the windows in the house, there was still the faint smell of burnt broth that would hit my nose from time to time. I couldn’t help but wonder what he w

    Tabitha:I said nothing. The car ride was quiet, and I watched the street lights pass with a blur. My fingers ran lazily across the buttons on the door, and soon I pressed one to lower the window. The evening breeze came in, whipping my hair softly and filling my nostrils with the evening freshness

    Enzo:I couldn’t help myself. I had been talking with Mr. Bolden. We were finishing the discussion about the prototype, and that was when I saw it: Andrew leading Tabitha around the house. My gaze had followed them until I could no longer see either of them as they disappeared behind the house. My
