Natalie’s POV

After that post on Instagram, people immediately started speculating, trying to guess who he was.

My DMs exploded with messages. Everyone wanted to know the identity of the mysterious man.

I couldn’t help sending the funniest ones to Luke. One from an old follower nearly made me choke on my coffee:

Girl, you better tell that man you’ve got a wife at home. He better know how to fight.

I laughed out loud before replying:

I can assure you, he knows how to fight. He boxes for fun.

That, of course, only made the comments go even wilder. People were thriving off the chaos. Eventually, I decided to log off before it got overwhelming.

With my phone set aside, I turned to an issue I’d been ignoring for too long: the mole.

Someone had leaked that sketch. I tried backtracking the events of that day, going over every detail in my mind. Although Mrs. Ventmore was beyond irritating, she was good for business. If this wasn’t solved soon, it would reflect badly—on me and on my company.

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 27: The soft launch

    Natalie’s POVAfter my minor flu, I felt better and ready to work again.Luke and I had decided today would be Day 1 of announcing our “relationship.”So, during my lunch break, we went to a fancy hotel for a lunch date. The plan was to be seen in a romantic setup. Tacky… I know but we didn’t really think this part through.I wore a sleek, body-hugging mini dress in a soft beige hue that complemented my skin tone. The design featured an elegant one-shoulder neckline, leaving one shoulder bare while the other was draped in smooth fabric. Delicate ruching ran down one side, cinching the dress to accentuate my curves, while a long, slender panel of fabric cascaded from the gathered seam, adding a touch of movement and drama. The hemline was daringly short, ending high above the knee, and the material clung effortlessly. I paired the dress with strappy nude stilettos.This was the ultimate ‘I’m in a happy relationship’ mini dress.The hotel’s restaurant was located on the third floor, so

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 26: Doctor Romano to the rescue

    Luciano’s POV I rang the doorbell twice then waited. She was probably in bed still. My phone pinged. I took it out while waiting for her to come open the door Nat: the door’s open How did she know it was me? Luke: How’d you know it was me I pulled the door to her apartment open. I didn’t get a response to the text. I made my way inside. “Nat?” I called out as I drop the bags I’m carrying. I made my way up the stairs to her room. She was probably there. I pry the door open but she’s not inside. Then I hear the water. She’s taking a shower. I close the door and make my way downstairs. I open one of the bags and take out the soup and the steamed veggies and put them in the microwave to warm them up. I hear her delicate footsteps approach. “Hey.” She greets me “Hi.” I greet her back.” How’d you know it was me at the door?” I ask her curious. “I figure you wouldn’t take my word for it. You’re stubborn as hell.” She says while drying her hair with a towel I tu

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 25: Easier said, Easier done

    Luciano’s POV my parents were much easier to tell that Nat’s mom. They wouldn’t even be shocked. Why is that? You would ask. Easy. They knew from the beginning. My mom watched me spiral after I found out that she went on a date with some guy in high school. I would come home everyday and I would cry. Or the time when she started dating. That was the worst pain I’d ever experienced. Dad thought it was so funny. He would call me a chicken for watching in the side lines and not actually do anything. He would brag about how he never watched mom get snatched by some guy while he just stood there. So when I rang the doorbell to my parent’s townhouse I wasn’t worried about anything. Mom opened the door.“Figlio mio, it’s been a while since you visited, no?” “I know mom. I promise I’ll visit more often” I say to her as a give her a hug. We both enter and she takes my coat. I make my way to the living room. “You have finally decided to grace us with your present your majest

    We can up with a really great plan to break the news to my mom without it looking suspicious. So right now I was getting ready to go visit her.I called her everyday but today would be the first time I would see her after a little over two months. It would be to tell her the biggest lie of my life. Bigger than when I broke her favourite vase and Luke took the fall. I rarely lied to her so my heart felt heavy Luciano wanted to stay with me until I left but he had to go to a meeting with a shareholders. He could tell I was anxious and honestly if he were here he would be making stupid joke and I would forget all about the lie. Just as I was about to gather my stuff my phone pings. Luke: did you know that cows have best friends. I laughed. Even miles away he still made me laugh. Me: no I did not know that Luke: They even get stressed when separated. Me: I’m stressed right now. I’m having separate anxiety :( Luke: That just means we’re basically emotional livestock s

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 23: The planning

    Natalie’s POVthe door clicked shut behind me with a soft thud that somehow sounded louder than it should have. the silence in my apartment was a relief. A barrier between me and the chaos that occurred today. I peeled my clothes off and made my way towards the bathroom. I twisted the knob to the left. the pipes groaned in protest before the scalding water blasted from the faucet, steam billowing almost instantly against the glass.I stepped into the shower, and the burning water hit my shoulders like a punishment and comfort at the same time. the sting reminded me that I was still here, still breathing.the heat loosened my muscles, but not my thoughts. My forehead found the cool tile wall, and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.I continued to stay in there for another 15 minutes before stepping out.I decided to put aside the mole who leaked my design for now. I think I can only handle one problem at a time, and right now I need to focus on Luke.for now.I put on som
