The old man's words were still bothering my mind until the waiter appeared at my elbow.

"Champagne, ma'am?"

I reached for the glass without thinking, the automatic reflex of someone who needed something to do with her hands at a party where the ground kept shifting beneath her feet. The flute was cold and elegant, and I had very nearly lifted it to my lips when Edris's hand closed around my wrist gently but firmly.

I looked at him.

"Not that one," he said.

His voice was a bit low, but his eyes

    I was standing under the shower when the bathroom door opened. I turned around, already knowing it was Edris, but I still couldn’t help laughing when I saw him.“Oh my God, Edris!” I burst out laughing when I saw him standing there completely naked. He looked at me like there was nothing strange about it and walked toward me.“What?” he asked.“You’re seriously naked?”He laughed and stepped closer. “But this is what you wanted.”I rolled my eyes, still laughing. “Obviously.”“Then why are you acting surprised?”“Because I didn’t think you’d actually walk in here like that, naked,” I said, pointing at his dick.“Well, I’m here now.”He stepped under the shower with me. The warm water poured over both of us, soaking our hair and skin. Water slid down his face, over his neck, and down his chest. My own hair was dripping down my back, and I wiped the water from my eyes.Edris moved closer until his body was pressed against mine.“Still laughing?” he asked.“Hmmm, probably.”His hands set

    “What are you doing?” I asked.“Wait and see,” Edris replied.A lively song suddenly started playing, and I stared at him when he started moving his shoulders to the beat.I burst out laughing. “Edris!”He looked at me innocently. “What?”“Are you actually dancing?”He nodded seriously. “Yes.”I covered my mouth, trying to hold back another laugh. “I can’t believe this.”He walked toward me, still moving to the music. “What’s wrong with my dancing?”“Everything,” I said, laughing.Edris shook his head. “You’re just jealous because I dance better than you.”I stared at him. “You haven’t even seen me dance.”“Exactly, that's why I’m already better.”I couldn’t stop laughing. “You’re so funny.”Edris placed a hand over his chest as if I’d deeply offended him. “Funny? I’m giving you a private performance, and that’s how you repay me?”I laughed. “Private performance? Please stop before I embarrass you.”“You can’t embarrass me,” Edris said confidently.“Are you sure?”“Yeah, very sure.”H

    The room looked nothing like the one I had left earlier.A trail of rose petals led toward the bed, where more petals had been arranged across the white sheets. Four words stood out among them, impossible to miss.I LOVE YOU, JULIANA.Candles were placed around the room, and fairy lights were wrapped around the headboard. A small table waited beside the window with two glasses, a chilled bottle of champagne, and a plate of desserts.I turned around slowly and found Edris standing by the door, watching me with a smile. I stared back at everything in silence. I couldn’t remember the last time someone had put this much thought into making me feel special. My fingers brushed over one of the petals before I asked Edris, “You planned all of this?”Edris replied. “I wanted you to come home to something you’d remember.”I looked back at the bed, then at the flowers surrounding the room. “Why?”Edris walked closer to me. “Because I wanted you to have something beautiful to come back to.”I l

    I woke up to the feeling of being carried. For a few seconds, I didn’t understand what was happening. My eyes were still sleepy, and all I could feel was the gentle movement around me. Then I opened my eyes properly and found Edris looking down at me.“Edris?” I murmured, still half-asleep.He looked down at me with a small smile. “You’re awake.”I blinked and looked around before realizing we weren’t on the yacht anymore. Edris was carrying me toward our villa, and I immediately lifted my head from his chest.“What are you doing?” I asked.“I’m taking you to the room,” Edris replied.I stared at him. “Put me down.”“No, he said, I'm not doing that.”“Edris, I’m awake. You can put me down now.”“I know you’re awake,” he replied, completely unbothered.“Then you can put me down.”Edris shook his head. “No, but you're still feeling sleepy.”I stared at him in disbelief. “I can walk, Edris, I'm not.”“I know you can,” he said, adjusting his hold on me. “But you were sleeping so peacefull

    After lunch, we walked back toward the dock, and Edris stopped at a small stand selling handmade souvenirs. He picked up a little wooden carving and turned it around in his hand.“What do you think?”I leaned closer. “It’s cute.”“Just cute?”“What do you want me to say?”“That it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen.”I laughed. “You’re asking too much.”He bought it anyway and handed it to me. “Then I’ll settle for cute.”I looked at the little carving in my palm and smiled. “You’re getting me too many things.”“That’s how I want it.”“Why?”“Because I like seeing you happy.”I looked at him, and for a moment, I didn’t know what to say. Instead, I slipped my hand into his as we continued toward the dock.By the time we reached the water, Edris was carrying most of the bags while I held onto the few things I had kept for myself. The boat that had brought us earlier was waiting near the dock. One of the men helped us step aboard and took the bags from Edris.I sat down on one o

    I woke up to the smell of coffee drifting into the room. For a few seconds, I stayed under the duvet, trying to remember where I was. Then I remembered the night before and immediately opened my eyes. I didn’t get up immediately. My mind went straight back to everything that had happened between Edris and me the night before. I smiled before opening my eyes. When I did, I saw Edris standing on the terrace with two cups in his hands.He noticed me staring and smiled.“Good morning.”I pushed myself up against the pillows. “You made coffee?”“Yeah, I did.”I took the cup from him. “Maybe you’re not completely useless.”He laughed. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”“Don’t get used to it.”He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me. “Get ready.”I took a sip of coffee. “Huh! For what?”“Today, we’re exploring the island.”I raised an eyebrow. “We’re leaving the resort again?”“Yeah, for a few hours.”I smiled. “And what exactly are we doing today?”“We’ll walk around, eat something,

    “One, two, three.”The camera flashed again, and another round of applause followed almost immediately. I kept the smile on my face even though my cheeks already hurt from forcing it for hours. Around us, guests moved through the grand ballroom laughing, drinking expensive champagne, and celebratin

    I didn’t move, I couldn’t. It felt like I’d been caught red-handed at a crime scene, unsure whether to run or stay where I was. Edris was standing in the doorway as he had always been there for a long time watching, and as if he already knew what I was up to. My fingers tightened around the pho

    I left Edris’s office pretending I was fine, but I wasn’t, not even close.His phone call and that slight change in his expression kept bothering my mind, that wasn’t normal.Nothing about Edris Veltri was normal.We were walking down the hallway when I slowed my steps.“Excuse me.”Edris stopped a

    Edris wrapped his hand around the handle and pulled it out, then said to me,“Finished? If that was enough to make you feel better, then do it again.”Before I could try stabbing him again, something strong hit the back of my head, and I passed out on the floor.The next morning, I woke up expectin
