We landed in Paris beneath a sky softened by pale gray clouds, the kind that seemed to blur the sharp edges of the city and give everything a quiet, distant beauty that most people would have found enchanting.

For many, arriving in Paris would have meant excitement, romance, and wonder but for me, it meant work, another schedule and another role to perform.

  • Saved by Sin   Chapter 15

    The next morning arrived with a quiet heaviness that lingered in my chest the moment I opened my eyes, as though the weight of everything I had learned—and everything I still did not understand—had followed me into sleep and refused to leave. For several minutes, I remained lying still, staring at the ceiling as my thoughts slowly gathered themselves into something sharper, something more focused. There was no more room for hesitation, no more space for doubt because I needed the truth and there was only one person who could give it to me, James Lewis. I reached for my phone, my fingers hovering over his contact for a brief moment as a quiet tension settled in my chest. Calling him felt like crossing a line I could not uncross, like stepping into something that would change everything I thought I knew about my life. Still—I pressed the call button. The line barely rang before he answered. “Miss Smith?” His voice came through immediately, laced with concern that sounded far

    We landed in Paris beneath a sky softened by pale gray clouds, the kind that seemed to blur the sharp edges of the city and give everything a quiet, distant beauty that most people would have found enchanting. For many, arriving in Paris would have meant excitement, romance, and wonder but for me, it meant work, another schedule and another role to perform. The days that followed passed in a continuous rhythm of flashing cameras, carefully arranged fittings, long hours beneath artificial lighting, and conversations that revolved endlessly around perfection, presentation, and image. I moved through it all with the practiced ease that had become second nature to me, smiling when required, speaking when necessary, and carrying myself with the calm confidence expected of someone known to the world as Bella Smith. And yet, despite everything, my mind was never truly present. It remained elsewhere… Caught in a moment that refused to release me. Milan. The restaurant. The gun. And

    The soft vibration of my phone against my palm pulled me away from the restless thoughts circling endlessly in my mind, and when I lowered my gaze to the screen, the name displayed there made something inside my chest tighten almost instantly. Michael. Of course it was him. For a brief moment, I considered ignoring the call entirely, letting it ring until it stopped so I could pretend that I did not have the energy to deal with him, but I already knew that avoiding him would only delay the inevitable. With a quiet exhale, I answered. “Yes, Uncle,” I said, forcing my voice to remain steady despite the tension slowly building inside me. “I heard what happened,” he said without hesitation, his tone carrying a carefully measured concern that felt almost too controlled to be genuine. “Are you alright?” I leaned back slightly in my seat, letting my gaze drift across the wide airport terminal stretching out before me. The space was filled with movement, with travelers walking i

    The moment Carlo spoke his name, everything changed. It was subtle at first, but I could feel the shift in the air. A quiet ripple moving through the restaurant that only those paying close attention would notice but I could feel it. The space around us tightened, as if something invisible had wrapped itself around the room, pulling everything into a fragile, dangerous stillness. People were staring, not openly, not boldly but carefully and cautiously. It was the kind of glances people gave when they sensed danger but did not want to be seen acknowledging it. Conversations softened into murmurs, the soft clinking of cutlery slowed, even the waiters moved differently now, their steps more careful, their eyes lowered, as if instinctively trying to avoid drawing attention. They knew or at least… they felt that something was wrong and whatever was happening at this table was not ordinary. And somehow, I was at the center of it. Ugh… I sat frozen in my chair, my fingers resti

    For several long seconds, he did not answer my question. Instead, he simply stared at me. It wasn’t casual, nor polite but with an intensity that made the air between us feel heavier with every passing moment. It was unsettling… The kind of stare that did not just look at you, but seemed to see through you, as though searching for something buried beneath the surface. I shifted slightly in my seat, my fingers tightening unconsciously around the fork in my hand. “What…?” I began, unable to hold his gaze without speaking. “Your eyes…” His voice cut through my words smoothly, low and steady, forcing me into silence before I could even finish my sentence. I froze… My eyes? I blinked, confused, waiting for him to continue. “They remind me of someone,” he said after a brief pause, his gaze never leaving mine. “A young kid.” The words hung strangely between us. A young kid…? For reasons I could not explain, something inside my chest tightened and I did not understand

    Ring… Ring… Ring… The sharp sound of my phone cut through the quiet of the room, echoing far too loudly for my already aching head. Ring… Ring… Ring… “Ugh..” I groaned softly and shifted deeper into the soft mattress, pulling the pillow over my head in a desperate attempt to block out the noise. Ring… Ring… Ring… Why is it still ringing? The sound drilled into my skull, making the dull throbbing behind my eyes even worse. I squeezed my eyes shut and buried my face deeper into the pillow. Just… five more minutes but the ringing did not stop. It continued relentlessly, vibrating against the wooden surface of the bedside table like a reminder that the world outside my bed refused to give me peace. Then I heard the door open then soft footsteps followed. Bethany… I did not need to look to know it was her. The faint scent of her perfume reached me as she crossed the room, and a moment later the ringing stopped. “Hello?” Her voice was calm, professional. I stayed sti
