FAZER LOGINI was thankful to Magnus for lightening the mood. After he admitted that he missed me, he quickly changed the topic. I appreciated that because I wasn’t ready to talk about the past. The only reason I was still going along with him was because he was kind, and he used to be my best friend before we got into a relationship. I missed that version of us, back when he treated me like a princess.But to be honest, a part of me still wanted to ask what I did to make him stop loving me. I also wanted to know why Tito suddenly turned his back on Papa when they used to be close. Tito couldn’t be reached anymore when Papa needed help. Even Magnus stopped contacting me. We moved on without ever knowing why they suddenly left. But now, everything was fine. We survived without them, so maybe knowing their reason didn’t matter anymore.After he finished eating, he invited me to come with him. He had a party to attend and offered to take me along. I refused because I still needed to go back to the c
There was only a small issue that needed to be fixed at the venue, and it could have been handled over a call, but I still decided to go there myself.When I arrived at the Imperial Hotel, the manager immediately assisted me. It only took us fifteen minutes, and the problem was resolved. I even tried to keep the manager talking so I could stay a little longer, but since he had work to do, he eventually left me.I walked around the venue to check everything. They were decorating since there was an event there the next day. A lot of people were moving around, and I blended in with them.“Excuse me, what event is happening here tomorrow?” I asked someone I passed by who was holding flowers.She was a bit startled. “There’s a wedding tomorrow, Ma’am.”She left right after answering me. I continued walking around the venue just to kill time. When I had seen everything, I decided to leave. Some people were already looking at me, probably wondering what I was doing there.I was about to walk
I immediately opened the car door as soon as he parked in front of the house. I didn’t want him to know where I live. But I forgot that he had already found out the first time he drove me home. So even if I stayed quiet, he already knew where to go.I also took my suitcase down myself as soon as I got out. He tried to help, but I had already brought it down by the time he reached me. My lips pressed tightly as I felt his heavy stare. I refused to look at him. I was annoyed just thinking that he would probably go to his woman afterward, and I didn’t want him going there. I’m so petty. I have no right to be mad, but I am.“Thank you.” I looked at him for a few seconds before avoiding his gaze again. “I’ll go inside. I want to see my family.”His eyes narrowed, but he didn’t say anything. I took my suitcase and immediately stepped inside the small gate of our house. He didn’t get back into his car. I would have heard it if he did, but I didn’t hear anything. My body wanted to turn back,
I didn’t understand why he was angry. I should be the one who’s mad because of the texts I saw from his Analise, and now he’s suddenly upset?“I was going to ask if you had an extra suitcase because my things wouldn’t fit in mine.”“Come here, Seraphina,” he said darkly.I shifted my weight. I was angry because of what I read, but I also knew I had no right. He’s not even my boyfriend.“Do you have an extra suitcase?” I tried to change the subject. I didn’t want to go closer. Why would I? There’s already a baby waiting for him.He sighed in annoyance and walked toward me. I wanted to leave, but I got nervous under his stare.“What is it?” he asked softly, watching me closely. He probably noticed I wasn’t okay.I looked away. I didn’t know what to say. How pathetic to be upset just because I found out he already has a baby. The heck. If he was really just playing with me, he would probably laugh at me. Maybe he’d tell me we had nothing, so why was I mad? I had no right. I did this to m
Our days in Italy flew by so quickly. I still managed to do some sightseeing. Shopping wasn’t all we did. I went to different places with Alaric too. I even did what Serenity asked because she wouldn’t stop messaging me for pictures.Serenity:You’ve been in Italy for so long and you still haven’t sent any pictures! What now, sis???Serenity:Don’t be selfish! It’s just pictures!Those were just some of her messages when I hadn’t sent photos of the places I visited. So when I got fed up, I finally sent them. You’d think she was the one who actually went to Italy!I also supervised work online. Sara and the others were the ones going out or contacting people we needed for the upcoming charity event. And after what happened between Alaric and me, he wasn’t always angry with me anymore. I don’t know if it was because of the sexual tension we almost crossed, or if he just had another reason to be kinder—but either way, I didn’t mind.I wrinkled my nose in frustration. I was trying to clos
I moaned when Alaric’s tongue slipped into my mouth. At first, it was just a shallow kiss, but it quickly deepened. I didn’t even realize he was already on top of me. One of his hands was planted beside me, balancing his weight so he wouldn’t crush me. The other rested on my lower thigh. He simply pushed aside the bathrobe I was wearing and immediately grabbed my thigh. He spread it apart and positioned himself between them. Exactly how I had imagined it.He quickly reached my most private place since I wasn’t wearing anything underneath the bathrobe. I hadn’t even bothered to put on underwear. He chuckled when he felt how wet I was.“Fuck, Seraphina,” he muttered harshly.His lips trailed down to my neck. Still not satisfied, he untied the bathrobe and opened it, leaving me completely naked in front of him. The hand that had just been between my thighs moved upward. He ran it over my stomach and toward one of my breasts. The sensation of his touch made me shiver with anticipation.“A
Alaric immediately rushed to me. I couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into tears. Maybe because of the pressure and the pain in my right hand. Even more when I saw him approach me with anger written all over his face.“You couldn’t even do a small thing without causing trouble,” he said irritabl
After we finished eating, we went back to the suite. I originally planned to take a walk, even just around the hotel, but after seeing Magnus, I lost all motivation. Alaric got busy with several calls. From what I could hear, he was dealing with a businessman here.I locked myself in the room. No m
I ended the call after snapping back at my boss. But a few minutes later, fear crept in when I realized what I had just done. He’s my boss—but he’s also a CEO! His family is powerful!I covered my face with a pillow and screamed.“Are you crazy, Seraphina? You’re exactly like your grandfather!” I s
The next morning, if Serenity hadn’t woken me up, I wouldn’t have woken up at all. Mom hadn’t planned on waking me, so Serenity did instead. It was strange—on days she doesn’t have school, she usually wakes up at noon. But today, she was up early.“Sis, don’t forget to send me the pictures,” Sereni
