Revenge Is Mine 24: False Alarm
Chiara MorettiI stood frozen my fingers gripping my phone so tightly my knuckles turned completely white.The screen had already gone dark, but the words were burned into my retinas. My heart was hammering against my ribs, I stared at the door separating me from the hallway. Was he out there right now? How could he possibly know where I was?Suddenly, the doorknob turned and the door swung open. I let out a loud, terrified gasp, my legs instantly giving out as I stumbled backward in panic. My heel caught on the edge of the rug, and I was falling, bracing myself for the hard impact of the floor.But the impact never came.A pair of strong arms shot out, wrapping securely around my waist and pulling me flush against a hard chest. "Chiara!" Alessandro's voice was sharp, laced with concern.I clamped my hands onto his forearms, my breath coming out in short, panicked ragged gasps. I looked up at him, my eyes wide and wild. He was looking down at me, his brows furrowed deeply, his entire
Revenge Is Mine 23: Coastal Escape
Chiara MorettiThe coastal villa was nothing short of a hidden paradise.When the car finally rolled to a stop, the sound of the engine was immediately replaced by the soothing crash of the ocean waves. I stepped out of the vehicle and closed my eyes, taking in a deep, long breath. The salty air was warm and refreshing, completely different from the suffocating, smog-filled air of the city."Do you like it?"I opened my eyes and turned to see Alessandro walking around the car. He had already taken off his tie, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone. The ocean breeze caught his hair, making him look wilder, more relaxed."Like it?" I smiled, looking at the massive white villa sitting perfectly on a cliff above the private beach. "It is breathtaking, Alessandro. It feels like a completely different world.""That is exactly the point," he said, returning my smile. "No business, no stress. The real world doesn't exist out here."We went inside, and the interior of the villa was just
Revenge Is Mine 22: Armor And Escape
Chiara MorettiThe door of my office clicked shut, leaving me completely alone in the room. For a long moment, I stood there, staring down at the hundreds of scattered documents on the floor. Slowly, the adrenaline that had been keeping me upright began to recede. It drained out of my veins like water, leaving behind a bone-deep exhaustion. My chest heaved as I let out a long, shaky breath, the silence of the room ringing in my ears.Marco had laughed.I walked over to my desk and hit the intercom button. "Clara," I said."Yes, Signora Marino?" Her voice filled the room."Send in the cleaning staff to clear my floor, please. And then, I need you to connect me directly to the head of the financial department.""Right away."Less than a minute later, the phone on my desk beeped. I picked it up, "Signora Marino, how can I help you?" the head of finance asked."I need a complete lockdown on the Moretti Holdings acquisition funds," I ordered, "Every single euro allocated for that deal is
Revenge Is Mine 21: Accusations
Chiara MorettiMarco stood frozen in the center of the room, he looked ridiculous. Dozens of papers from the file I'd thrown were stuck to his navy suit, and hundreds more were scattered across the floor like a blanket of white snow. His mouth was hanging open, his eyes wide and blinking rapidly as he tried to process the fact that the "composed" Viviana Marino had just turned into a hurricane."Viviana," he finally stammered, his voice thin and shaky. He held his hands up in a defensive gesture. "I... I don't understand. What is this? What are you talking about?""Don't you dare play dumb with me!" I snapped, taking a predatory step toward him. "I was at the Gala, Marco. I stood there while a man with dead eyes told me a very interesting story about fifty million euros."The blood drained from Marco's face so fast he looked like a ghost. He tried to speak, but only a dry, clicking sound came out of his throat. "I know exactly what you did," I hissed, I was close enough now to see th
Revenge Is Mine 20: Setup
Chiara MorettiMy knuckles were completely white. I was gripping the edge of the cocktail table so hard that my fingers were cramping, but I couldn't let go. I was trying desperately to pull enough oxygen into my lungs, my chest heaving.The ballroom around me was still buzzing with laughter, the clinking of champagne glasses, and the soft melodies of the string quartet. Nobody else had noticed a thing."Chiara."The voice cut through the ringing in my ears.A hand pressed flat against my lower back. I flinched instantly, spinning around, but my racing heart immediately slowed the second I saw him.Alessandro.He stepped right into my personal space, his tall frame blocking me from the view of the rest of the room. He took one look at my pale face, my wide eyes, and the way my hands were trembling against the tablecloth, and his expression instantly darkened."What happened?" Alessandro demanded, his eyes quickly scanned the crowd around us, looking for a threat. "Who spoke to you?"I
Revenge Is Mine 19: Trapped
Chiara MorettiMy feet felt like they were cemented to the floor. I was completely, utterly paralyzed.Julian’s fast, excited voice was still buzzing next to me, but it sounded like he was underwater. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the man walking through the crowd. People were unknowingly stepping out of his way, parting like the Red Sea, subconsciously moving away from the dark, heavy aura he carried with him.He didn't look at anyone else. His completely blank, dead eyes were locked entirely on me. "So, if you just look at the quarterly projections..." Julian was still saying, completely clueless. He finally stopped talking and frowned, noticing that I had gone completely rigid. "Miss Marino? Is everything alright?"Julian followed my gaze.The moment Julian saw the tall, dark-haired man stopping just a few feet away from us, all the color instantly drained from his face. The cheerful, eager tech guy vanished. Julian swallowed hard, his throat bobbing visibly.Julian just quic
