Julia

…

A flash of lightning filled my room, followed by a thunderous sound that made me sit up immediately in bed. Startled, I looked out the window and saw the violence with which thick raindrops crackled against the transparent glass of my bedroom window. Adrian! I thought when I didn’t find him beside me in bed, and terrified, I looked at the digital clock on the nightstand.

Two in the morning.

“Damn, where are you, Adrian?”

I scolded, jumping out of bed, and a chill ran down my spine at once. Worried, I grabbed my cell phone and called him. A string of calls that stole my peace and brought fear and insecurity. However, he didn’t answer any of my calls. At some point, the doorbell started ringing, making me run anxiously out of the room, and with my heart racing, pouring a drop of relief into my soul, I opened the door full of hope. But confusion overwhelmed me when I found some uniformed, soaked men standing in front of me.

“Mrs. Ricci?” one of them asked in a firm but cautious t

    JuliaHours later…"To the Bennett mansion!" I say as I get into a taxi and put the phone to my ear while rummaging through my bag."Júlia, Paco still hasn’t accepted this situation." Melissa says on the other end of the line."Paco doesn’t have to accept anything that concerns me and Alex, Melissa!" I snap impatiently. "I thought you knew that.""Friend, you know how much he loves Alex. And honestly, I’m worried about you both too."I sigh loudly."You don’t need to worry, Mel. Alex is fine. We’re fine. Mr. Bennett…""Alright, I believe you. But promise me you’ll bail if he does anything to hurt you?""I promise.""We’re here, ma’am!" The taxi driver announces."I adore you, Mel!" I decide to end the conversation."I love you too, friend!""I have to hang up now. And, Melissa?""Yes?""Don’t say anything more about me to Paco.""But, Júlia…""Please, friend!" I hear her heavy breath."Alright." She agrees reluctantly. I end the call and pay the driver. Seconds later, I enter a comple

    JuliaA few days…"Júlia." Mr. Abravanel speaks, entering my office."Mr. Abravanel?" I stand up immediately."I have a big project to start, and I need help. Are you up for joining me on this?""Ah, I don’t know…""Júlia, this will be another project that will make your name shine in the architectural world. And you’re already halfway through Bolt Vitton anyway. You need to start another project soon, and I believe we’ll make a great team. What do you think?" Not knowing what to say, I just mumble. — "How about we go out for lunch? I’ll give you the main details, and you can analyze each one. After that, it’s up to you. How does that sound?" I smile."Alright." He smiles back."Great! Shall I meet you in half an hour?""Of course.""Perfect!""Look at you." Bia hums as she approaches. "Falling under Mr. Abravanel’s spell, huh?""Don’t talk nonsense, Bia. It’s just work," I retort to her insinuations."Just work, huh?" Bia leans a little over my desk, — "Open your eyes, Júlia, Mr. Abr

    Bennett“David!” A joyful, childlike sound fills my living room as I enter the hall of my house, and unexpectedly, Alex Ricci jumps into my arms. Incredibly, feeling the touch of his fingers on my back and shoulders doesn’t make me stiffen, and I remember that’s exactly how I felt with Lina. Alex inspires confidence, calm, and peace in me. And inevitably, the squeeze in my arms.“Hey, big guy!”“Thank you! Thank you for everything!” The boy seems euphoric, and I know exactly why he’s so excited. However, I pretend not to know.“What are you talking about?”“About the toys and games. My room is full of them!” I smile. Something that has become easier to do around him.“Which one did you like the most?”“I liked everything, but I didn’t use the video game.”“Why not?”“Because I want to play with you, of course!” More excited, I put the boy back on the floor, get rid of my tie, roll up my shirt sleeves, and stare at the boy.“Bad idea, Ricci boy, because I’m a beast at video games!” I g

    Bennett“What did you do?” She mutters softly as we walk into the construction site. “What did you do?” Julia asks, freeing herself from my hand that was still holding hers. She stops walking and makes me stop too. “Mr. Bennett, why did you do that? Why did you say we were engaged?”“One question at a time, Ricci,” I growl impatiently. “First, I got rid of that idiot who almost laid a hand on you. And it wasn’t in a positive way. And second, I said we were engaged.”“Yes! And why did you do that?”“Because I made you an offer.”“An offer I haven’t accepted yet!” She retorts, looking furious.“But you will accept,” I reply somewhat arrogantly.“How can you be so sure, Mr. David Bennett?” She grunts. However, I decide to get closer to her. Too close. Still, I don’t let my emotions show. Ricci doesn’t need to know about her power over me… never.“I have, and that’s enough.” She throws me a sarcastic smile.“Mel is right. You’re a damn arrogant man!”“Yeah, maybe I am.”“Okay, let’s say I

    JuliaA few days later……I need you to know three things about me tonight, Julia. One, I’m paying a very high price for this night, so I want everything I’m entitled to with you. Including the damn kiss on the mouth. Two, never say no to me, because that word doesn’t exist in my dictionary. So when I want something, even if you tell me no, I go and take it. And three, never touch me without my permission. In bed, I’m the one who commands and orders, and you just obey me. Any questions?Remembering that Dark Night makes me sigh loudly in agony, and frustration takes over me. I know nothing justifies his rude, rough, and cold behavior toward me, but those scars tell me so much about that man.…I’m tired of you!The anger with which he shouted those words. The strength with which he grabbed my throat, stealing my breath. David Bennett could have killed me at that moment if I hadn’t acted so fast.But who is she? Who hurt him that way, and why did she do that to him?…I’ll destroy her just
