The next morning feels heavier than usual.

The house is quiet, but not peaceful — the kind of silence that hides tension beneath it.

I sit at the breakfast table, staring at the untouched cup of coffee in front of me.

Maria moves around the kitchen like always, humming under her breath, but even that feels forced. She keeps glancing toward the hallway like she’s expecting someone to walk in.

He doesn’t.

Ricardo hasn’t shown up. Not a word. Not even a message.

I scroll through my phone again, pretending I’m checking the time. Nothing.

Elena texts me some random meme about school drama, Chiara asks if I’m coming to class, but the one name I want to see isn’t there.

I can still feel him , his touch, his breath, the way his voice went soft when he said my name. It’s like it’s imprinted under my skin. And now… nothing. Like he vanished.

Maria clears her throat softly. “Miss Aurora? Should I bring your plate?”

I blink. “No, I’m fine. I’m not really hungry.”

She hesitates before nodding. “Mr

    The morning light hits different after a night like that.Soft. Golden. Quiet.Almost like the universe is pretending nothing happened.I blink awake to the sound of my alarm, my body still humming with the memory of him. My sheets smell faintly like cologne and something wilder…Ricardo.For a moment, I lie still, staring at the ceiling.Did I dream it?His hands. His voice. The way he whispered my name like it was a sin he wanted to keep repeating.No. I didn’t dream it.He was here.My heart stutters just thinking about it.He came through the window like some kind of trouble I couldn’t resist. Said nothing for a while—just looked at me with those dark eyes, as if I belonged to him. And I didn’t stop him.I should’ve. I didn’t.Now, the memory burns under my skin, impossible to scrub off.The door creaks open suddenly, snapping me back to reality.Maria, the housemaid, pokes her head in. “Miss Aurora? Breakfast is ready.”I sit up quickly, pulling the blanket up to my chest. “I’ll b

    The text leaves my phone before I can stop myself.Look out your window.I don’t know what I expect. Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. But when her light flickers on a few seconds later and I see her shadow move behind the curtain, it’s like every thought I’ve tried to bury claws its way back up.She pulls the curtain aside, and our eyes lock through the glass. Her face is soft, sleepy, confused and still, she looks like the only thing that’s real.“Aurora,” I whisper, barely audible. She shakes her head slowly, mouthing, What are you doing here?I motion for her to open the window. For a heartbeat, she hesitates. Then, with trembling hands, she unlatches it. The sound of the frame sliding open feels louder than it should.“What are you—Ricardo, you can’t be here,” she whispers.I push myself up and climb through before she can stop me. My shoes hit the floor with a dull thud, and for a second, all I can hear is her breathing.She’s in an oversized shirt, her hair loose around her face

    The sunlight cuts through my curtains before I’m ready for it. I pull the blanket higher, pretending the world doesn’t exist. My body feels heavy, like I’ve run miles in a dream I can’t escape.The memories flicker back no matter how hard I try to push them away Ricardo’s breath, his voice, his touch on my body, the way my pulse lost rhythm.I should hate him. Or at least hate myself for letting it happen.Instead, I just feel… hollow.I drag myself out of bed and into the shower, hoping the water will wash it all away. It doesn’t. The heat only brings it back the closeness, the sound of my name on his lips.I grip the edge of the sink and stare at my reflection. My eyes look different, darker. It’s like something shifted inside me last night and I can’t turn it off.“He’s your stepbrother,” I whisper. “Stop this.”My voice shakes.By the time I get to campus, I’m forcing a smile I don’t feel. Chiara waves from across the courtyard, her voice too bright for the ache in my chest.“F

    Three days.That’s how long Aurora had been avoiding me.Three days of cold breakfasts, quiet hallways, and a tension I could feel through the walls of the mansion.She’d stop talking when I entered a room, leave a second before I did, and never look at me long enough for it to mean anything.Tonight, that silence was ending.I stood by the doorway of her room, pretending I wasn’t waiting. We were supposed to go to Matteo’s house—some team party that his father’s staff had set up in their villa outside Palermo. Everyone would be there: Valentina, Dario, the whole loud crowd that called itself a family.And her.The door opened.For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Aurora stepped out in a short black dress that didn’t belong to any world I could protect her from. Her hair was down, soft around her shoulders, eyes lined in a way that made her look older, untouchable.“You’re staring,” she said flatly.“Can you blame me?”“You should stop.”“I’ve tried.”Her mouth tightened, but she br

    Morning came heavy, thick with guilt I couldn’t shake.I stared at my reflection, trying to fix the mess inside me with a brush and concealer. It didn’t work. Nothing could hide the fact that I’d let him kiss me again.Ricardo Falconeri.My mother’s new husband’s son.My stepbrother.Even thinking the word made my stomach twist. I told myself to stop, to forget, but the memory wouldn’t go away, the way he’d pulled me close, the sound of his voice when he called me butterfly.I hated how much I wanted to hear it again.My phone buzzed.Chiara: “Get dressed. We’re going shopping. No excuses.”Elena: “Come with us. You’ve been too quiet lately.”Maybe distraction was exactly what I needed.I grabbed my bag, told my mom I was heading out, and left before Ricardo could show up and make things worse.Chiara was waiting outside the gates, oversized sunglasses and a designer tote that screamed confidence. Elena stood beside her, scrolling through her phone, calm as ever.“There she is!” Chiar
