“You're fucking kidding me, what do you mean you're going to Italy?”

“It sounds stupid, I know”

“It sounds crazy! What you're just going to abandon everything for a couple of weeks —”

“Three months”

“What?”

“I'm going to abandon everything for three months”

“So you're on some love journey or something?”

“Something like that”

“Sharon would never approve”

“Yeah I figured, so I kissed her until she did”

“You're out of your fucking mind”

“I am”

“Promise me one thing Luca”

“Which is?”

“When you've had your fun, when you're done pretending like your relationship is going to last forever, you're going to tell her the fucking truth

So she doesn't fall stupidly in love with you and have her heart shattered to pieces in the next nine months”

“Arman—”

“You're smart, Just fucking come up with a plan to fix everything at the end”

“I will”

“You better”

“Fuck, Arman how long have you been crushing on my wife?”

“I'm not, I'm just speaking from the perspective of a person that isn't crazy and selfish”

Arman walked out, visibly angry. He couldn't understand why Luca would want to make Sharon's healing process longer

Luca was wrong for all the right reasons, but his mind was made up. For the first time, he was making a decision that didn't align with his grandfather's wish, with his family's wish. And he was doing it for love

He walked casually into Sharon's room. And there she was, on her bed. Deciding whether to take a pair of crisp white shorts or a beige pair

Her curls were all over her face, and her eyes were focused on the two shorts she was holding, like she was finding it difficult to decide

He leaned casually on her wall, and watched the smile appear on her face as she realised he had been watching her

But it quickly faded away, and she turned her face to the other side. Still, through the side of her face, just below her freckles,he caught the faint glimpse of a blush

“I didn't know you enjoyed creeping up on people”

“Well it almost always seems like you want me to. Your door is usually open these days”

“Ughhh!”

“You look cute when you're angry”

“What do you want?”

He gave her a quizzical look

It's sort of a weird thing to ask but—

Could you let me do the packing for you?

You could do something else like go to the spa or something. You'd have to go with Arman of course, you need protection—

Sharon stood up from the bed

“Something's fishy, I just don't know what it is—”

She made a gesture with her fingers pointing to her eyes, and then back to him

“I'm watching you”

She grabbed a bag, a pair of slippers and sunglasses

“Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone”

She turned back, just before she reached the door

“And don't touch my underwear!”

A wry smile appeared on Luca's face. That was exactly why he insisted on packing.

God forbid he planned a romantic getaway to Italy, and didn't decide to plan for when she actually fell head over heels

He discovered it accidentally, her secret stash of lingerie. And goodness, she didn't change the location, or lock up the drawer.

The look on her face when she would finally discover that half of what he packed was his hand picked favourites of the little pieces of lace and fabric

He would leave his business in Enya’s supervision. Of course Donald would just mess stuff up. Sharon's family would not be informed until they were on the trip. Arman would supervise the house. Donald would not have a clue

And Sharon

Would probably have the best time of her life—

*********************

Knock

Knock!

Fuck I'm coming!

Knock!

Who the hell is—

Claire's jaw dropped

“Sharon?”

They looked at each other for a time, like they were taking their time to process things

“Claire”

Sharon hugged her, like she had been holding back for a long time

“I missed you you silly girl”

Claire felt weird. She felt somewhat guilty. After everything she had done, Sharon had no hard feelings, no built in malice, no bottled up aggression.

She was just so innocent

And somehow, Sharon looked like a woman who was—

Happy

Odd, for someone who was in an arranged marriage.

“Who's that?”

Claire asked Sharon as she broke the hug. She was pointing at Arman.

Of course she recognised him, he was the dipshit that treated her like an intruder when she went to see Sharon's mother.

“This is Arman, he's—”

Sharon looked at him, and looked back at Claire

“He's my friend, but he's also my bodyguard”

Claire looked at him and scrunched up her face. Their first encounter wasn't very pretty, and Claire didn't plan to forget it anytime soon

Arman looked at her suspiciously. He didn't trust her one bit, Claire knew he didn't trust her.

Sharon took Claire's hand in her right, and Arman's in her left

And put them together

Claire, meet Arman

Arman, meet Claire

You two could be friends too

They shouted simultaneously

“Hell no!—”

ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY HUSBAND CHAPTER 58
I felt his eyes move from my face,to my neck, to my cleavage. The robe did what it could—I could feel the heat rising inside of me. He wanted me, I could see it in his eyes. But I had to resist him, I mean we had barely even spent a day.If I was going to make it through in one piece, I needed to get him off my mind. That was the problem precisely. He was Luca Pavilochenki—“Ciao Bella signora!”I looked around for the owner of the squeaky voice, but I couldn't find himThen I looked down. He was standing between us, looking at me like I was the most fascinating thing in the world He was missing a few teeth, probably six or seven years old. And then I remembered the chorus that morning. Could he be one of them?“Well hello”I said, wondering if he had been there the whole time. If he had watched me and Luca grow awkward. But wait, he didn't understand English.I heaved a sigh of relief as I patted him on the headHe smiled at me, his missing teeth making him all the more cuteThen h
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY HUSBAND CHAPTER 57
Welcome to Italy!The air hostess’ words filtered through space Sharon's mind was far away. Her and Luca hadn't seen each other for hours. No texts, not calls, nothing.He seemed to respect her privacy a little too much She was scared, scared of opening up a wound that didn't properly heal in the first place. She was scared of letting him know about her tragic past, scared letting him see what she had been hiding Nobody knew, not even Claire So she pushed him away—And gosh, she didn't even mean to But like he said, they were strangers.They landed in a private jet terminal in Florence, and walked into the VIP Like strangers, who met by chance on the plane—Immediately they filed the necessary paperwork, they were both met by two tour guides. Their luggage was taken to their respective places of residence It was evening, they were both tired, and things weren't quite settled between them The night was cold, and even the warmth of Italy couldn't shield herSharon looked at h

Sharon's fork fell to the floorHer eyes went blank, and her face was frozen in expression “Sharon I—”“Leave”“What?”“I'm not comfortable— around you”At that moment, Luca realised he had stepped on uncharted territory. Sharon never spoke to him about her nightmares, never gave him an explanation for her post traumatic responsesHe always suspected something, but he never gave in to his curiosity. Never asked, never pried, never raised questions And now, he just ruined a genuine moment, hopefully the first of many to come—By stating that she had a traumatic childhood Luca slowly stood up, with his head bowed “Sharon”“Don't fucking call me that. You're a stranger to me, remember?”Sharon had never spoken to him like that before. Infact she hardly defied him. He usually had his way, somehow. But he was beginning to realise that he hadn't touched the tip of the iceberg And winning her trust, her heart—Was still an abstract thought. One moment he felt like he was making progres

“Hey”“Riann”“Huh?”“Do you usually fall asleep on strangers?”Sharon became aware of her surroundings, and yes, she was sleeping on him Still, she had no idea how she got into that position, since she had been sitting opposite him “I'm sorry”She said, standing up quickly. Like he was the plague“I don't mind, really”She went back to her initial sitting position “No thanks”“Are you hungry Bella?”“No”Sharon folded her arms around her waist, but she couldn't stifle the sound of her stomach growling Luca gave her a comical smile “Will you eat with me?”Sharon sighed. She knew where it was going. He would offer to feed her during the course of their meal, and hold her in a romantic position. And slowly, she would desire his touch, his affection And eventually, they would do it again, and again, and Sharon would slowly fall in love—“No, I don't dine with strangers”Luca pressed a small bell and two waiters walked in with trays of food“It's okay, I'll leave the room for you t

“We will now take off, I urge you to sit tight and make yourselves comfortable”The cheesy voice of the air hostess echoed through Sharon smiled slightly She sat on a plush white cushion, a table was set in front of her with various appetizersLuca was in another room, keeping his word to make things appear like they met on the tripIt was delusional, but cuteTheir first encounter was terrible, their second, even worseAnd now they were just supposed to forget everything, the doubt, the uncertainty, all of itIt was like—A fresh start A sort of do over.They never got to discover anything about each other before they were married, never courted, never had genuine moments Their marriage was like a death sentence, a cross they had to carry, a burden they were straddled with Maybe if they had met under normal circumstances, maybe if they weren't forced into a union, things would've been different For Sharon, it was going to be a journey of self discovery. She was twenty three yea
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY HUSBAND CHAPTER 53
“You look beautiful”Sharon turned to see Luca standing behind her. He was wearing a plain black shirt, with black pants and loafers. His lips were curled slightly into a smile His eyelashes fanned his deep blue eyes, and his hair was messed up perfectly, adding to his sheer beauty His presence sent shivers through her, and when their eyes met, for a moment, just a moment, they shared something beautiful.It was a fragile feeling, still in it's foetal state. And Sharon wasn't willing to accept it for what it was Not yet—“Thank you”Her eyes slowly darted back to the mirror, and she continued to adjust the band on her hairHe walked closer, so that could hear his breathing behind her, and feel the vibrations in his chest as he spoke “Leave it”“What?”He looked at her from the mirror.“I like your hair free”His hands moved to her head, and slowly, he loosened the bun she was trying so hard to achieve. He used his fingers to straighten them out, and paused for a moment to admire
