LOGINAlexis was your typical everyday good girl with excellent grades, a single best friend, an annoying elder brother and a family that loved her to no end. When senior year rolled up, Alexis wasn't looking to expand her small social circle of friends or put herself out there but things are meant to change, after all, change is the only constant thing in life. Paired to do a group assignment with the school's three new mysterious gorgeous looking guys at the start of the term, Alexis is tested in more ways than one. Cheesy pick up lines, rude guys, charming smiles, motorcycle rides, coffee dates and long hours together is all it takes to make her question everything she ever thought she knew. But what happens when she falls for one of them? The one with the dark hair and green eyes? What will she do when he finds out about the secret she's been harbouring all her life? She begins to regret her decision and wish she'd met him long before, but life has its own way of playing with one's feelings. Will her secret break their newly found relationship or will it make it grow stronger?

"Hello, lady. Please let me know whether you've already arrived in Milan because I can't wait to show you the new gowns I've made for you. I am confident you will enjoy them." Javier, my closest buddy and fashion designer, called as I checked into the presidential suite at one of my hotel chain's branches.
"Hello to you too, Javi. To answer your question, I have already arrived in Milan and checked into my hotel, and I can't wait to try the gowns on. I can already tell they're going to be spectacular." With a smile on my face, I responded. Javi is my best friend, who happens to be gay with an enormous and kind heart. "How is your husband? Is he still on his business trip?"
"Josh? He is doing quite well. He's on a business trip because we've been awarded a massive project, and if we do it on time, we'll be famous." He responds cheerfully, which makes me chuckle and roll my eyes. The man is already on the list of the finest fashion designers, but he continuously claims that he will become famous.
"You're already well-known, Javi. Stop acting as though you're still trying to get famous." I was speaking while looking for professional apparel to go to my appointment with the owner of a boating company in Milan. This boating company is capable of supporting the ferry tour site for my hotel over here, which is why I need to conclude this agreement with them as soon as possible before the busy tour season begins.
"Perhaps I keep saying it like this because I aspire to be as famous as you, honeybee." He declared "You own the world's largest hotel chain and are a well-known self-made billionairess. Other hotel owners are already frightened just by the mention of your name since you not only run the world's largest hotel chain but are also as vicious and merciless as the devil."
"Now I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or as an insult," I mumbled, which made him chuckle.
"Baby, take that as a compliment. Consider that a compliment."All right, have a good meeting today and rock like always," he responds. "I'll see you in a few hours." He finished the call with that. I smiled as I rested my phone on the nightstand and gazed out the window of my hotel suite, which was nothing short of delightful and calm. From above, you can see the ocean and a clear sky.
"Miss Costa, I have prepared the bath exactly to your liking. I'm sure you'd like to relax after your long flight." One of my hotel's female employees announced.
"Thank you, Jenna." I thanked her and placed $100 cash in her hand. "Here's a small tip for you. Give it to your daughter."
"Yo... you know I have a daughter? But how?" she was perplexed.
"Let's just say I like to know what's going on in the lives of my employees and do a background check on them," I replied with a wink. Jenna smiled, thanked me, and exited the room as I went to the bathroom, undressed, and immersed in a lukewarm bath with a rose aroma.
After taking a long relaxing bath and getting ready I headed to Milan's number one boating company where my assistant has booked the meeting with the owner. I was so lost in making the notes in my mind when I ran into a man who came running out of nowhere in a hurry as I was making my way inside the building. I was just ready to fall on my face, but two muscular arms stopped that from occurring and held me back.
"I am Sor..." The man came to a halt before he could continue his statement as he stared at me.
"Thank you very much." As my eyes rested on the man who has never left my mind for a single minute in the last five years, I halted in my tracks to thank him. The man I fell in love with at first sight, the man I lost my virginity to, the one for whom I was ready to do everything only to get my heart torn in the most painful way conceivable.
"Carlos?!" I asked surprised.
"Sabrina?!" When he gazed at me with his beautiful brown eyes, the same eyes that grabbed me five years ago, his reaction was the same as mine. The night that resulted in my pregnancy with his child. When I stare into those same eyes after five years, I can't help but feel myself submerge in them and travel down memory lane. The first time we met.
Flashback:-
Five years ago:-
"Stop drinking like there is no tomorrow, woman. Your father is going to kill me when he finds out that his daughter is drunk and wasted." my best friend Elena ordered as she takes the glass of alcohol from my hands at the bar of the club owned by the Morettis. The richest family alive in the town.
"Maybe, I want to get drunk and wasted because no one is ready to give me a promotion and appreciate my hard work as the men only think that women are useless. I will show the bastards how wrong they are one day." I announced in my drunken state and wobbly legs. I could barely stand after consuming a lot of amount of alcohol "That bastard stole my project file and presented it under his name at the conference meeting today and when I tried to tell the truth to the boss all I got in return were three words "You. are.fired"
"Look, Rina. My best friend. I know you had a bad day today but alcohol is not going to help in any way. It is just going to give you the worst headache in the morning." Elena advised me but I was too far gone to listen to her when the DJ played my favorite song all of a sudden and I can't help but find myself dancing to the beat.
"Ooh! That's my favorite song, Lena. Come and let's dance with me." I announced dragging her on the dance floor with me. She refused and tried to top me but failed and ended up dancing with me on the dance floor. As we both ladies were dancing to the beat I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist from behind and dance with me.
"And, who would you might be to touch me without permission because I don't remember giving you one?" I asked with a raised brow as I turned around only to get frozen in my place and lost in the hazel eyes of the tall man standing in front of me. He was 6'1 in height with a muscular body, dark curly hair, suntanned skin with a lithe physique and I can't help but gulp and feel turned on with only a single glance from this Adonis-looking man.
"What's your name, beautiful?" the tall, hot, and handsome man asked in a seductively low voice.
"Why do you want to know, handsome?" I asked matching his tone.
"So, I can fuck you in more than seven different ways and scream your name out." he replied, " And, besides in order to ask for permission it is necessary to know the name of the person first."
"Well, in that case, you should tell me your name too so I know whose name I have to scream while I come." I played along with him while pulling him closer to me by his collar and grind my front of him like a dance step " And, how sure are you that I am going to tell me your name, handsome?"
"Due to the fact that your panties are damp wet for me right now and only want me." he whispers in my ear as he ran his hands slowly and smoothly on my bare thigh since I was wearing a mini dress " Tell me your name, beautiful and grant me the permission so I can fuck you really hard, fast and rough."
"Sabrina....my name is Sabrina." I replied in uneven breathing " And, yes. I give you permission to touch me and do more than that. Now tell me your name."
"Are you sure?" the man asked, " And, the name is Carlos by the way."
"Yes, I have never been so sure in my life than today," I replied.
"Again, I am asking if you are sure, or is this alcohol talking?" Carlos whispered in my ears "Tell me now, beautiful, because once I get a yes from you I don't think I can stop."
"Yes, and does it matter if it is the alcohol talking or not because we both are drunk right now? Aren't we?" I asked with a grin and grind my breasts to his chest " I want you."
"Let's go!" Carlos replied as he dragged me out of the club in a hurry and drove me to his place where he fulfilled the words he promised me by giving me the best night of my life. The night that left me pregnant with his child, his son Pierre Moretti.
End of Flashback.
"Sabrina...Sabrina? Are you there? Are you okay?" I was brought back from my thought by Carlos's voice who was looking at me with worry in his eyes.
"I....I need to go." I spoke before running away from him. I went into the elevator and headed to the floor where the meeting was held. Thankfully, no one was in the elevator because I was an emotional mess from inside and breathing heavily to calm my nerves. As I was trying to get back to myself, the elevator reached the desired floor I chose to go to and opened. I walked towards the assistant to the CEO and owner of this boating company and asked.
"Hello, I am Sabrina Costa. My assistant booked an appointment for today with the CEO of the company." I informed the assistant. The lady gave me a polite smile and checked into her database for the scheduled appointment.
"Yes, your name is present over here in the database, Miss. Costa. Mr. Carlos Moretti will be seeing you now." the assistant announced making my eyes go wide.
"M...Mr. Carlos Moretti?" I asked shocked.
"Yes, he is the owner of the CEO of C&S boating company." the assistant announced.
"Hello, Sab. Did you miss me?" the door to the CEO's office opened and revealed none other than Carlos standing by the doorway with a sexy grin on his face.
N I C KSIX WHOLE MONTHS, that was long how it had been since Alexis passed and each day hurt more than the last. I felt utterly lost without her."Nick hurry up, Kai and Jake are already here and you don't want to be late for your own graduation," mum shouted from the kitchen.I sighed as I took one last look at myself in the bathroom mirror before I made my way to the kitchen."You look so handsome and grown up," mum cooed as I entered the kitchen.I rolled my eyes and joined everyone at the kitchen table and sat down next to Leah. I poured myself some orange juice and placed a few chocolate chip pancakes on my plate."I'm wearing the same outfit I always wear each day except for this stupid cap and gown.""Which I'm totally rocking by the way," Kai beamed as he stuffed mum's chocolate chip pancakes into his mouth and moaned. "I love your cooking Hailee, maybe I should think of moving in with you guys."Jake and I rolled our eyes whi
N I C KAFTER I LEFT, Alexis was dragged on a gurney to the operating room and I prayed-tried to anyway, that all would go well and I'd be able to hold her again in my arms and kiss her once again.Everyone was sitted in the hospital waiting room with gloomy expressions waiting for any type of news-news that wouldn't break them even more than they already were from not knowing."Dude relax," Kai said as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Pacing like that won't do anything other than tire you out."I didn't realise that I had been pacing back and forth until he pointed it out. I sighed and took a seat next to Asher who had his head hung low in his hands."How are you holding up?" I asked him.I honestly need to find something to distract myself otherwise I might just barge in there and see what the hell was happening to her.Asher raised his head and stared at me blankly. "My best friend is in there and I can't do anything but sit here and wai
N I C KI HAD BEEN dreading this moment ever since I knew it was a possibility. I didn't want anything to happen to Leah, she was the only sibling I had left after Kayla passed and she was all mum had. But more importantly, I did not want to have to lose Alexis after I just got her.I had spent a huge amount of time researching SCD and how to treat it but each time it always led to a negative finding. The older you are, the riskier it is to have a successful bone marrow transplant. The odds were against her and that, that just broke me because I loved her. And to make matters worse, I didn't tell her I loved her when she said it to me.Sighing, I opened the door Dr. Dave had pointed me to and saw mum sat next to Leah who was stretched out on the small hospital bed."Hey!""Hey!" Leah smiled, "how's your girlfriend holding up?" she asked.My mum rolled her eyes at her statement. "Stop trying to rail your brother up," she chastised her."Gee I
THERE WAS A loud beeping sound that I kept hearing and I wasn't sure what it was. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn't, it felt like they were glued together with superglue or sewed shut.I tried lifting my hand to rub my eyes but there was someone holding on to it with an iron like grip.Am I dead already? Is this how being dead feels like? This is not the way I wanted to go, my subconscious said.No of course I'm not dead. Because if I was, then I wouldn't be talking to my subconscious right? Right.I pushed myself harder until my eyes finally opened and I looked around to see that I was still in my hospital room. The thing making the beeping noises was the heart monitor I was plugged to. A sigh of relief fell from lips because I wasn't died....yet.I rolled around and saw Nick sleeping on one of the chairs in a very uncomfortable position as he clutched onto my hand with a firm grip. His usually perfect hair looked dishellved and my heart clutched
MY BIGGEST FEAR had come to life and I couldn't move or do anything about it. I was completely frozen on my spot."I'll leave you two to talk things out," Asher said and quickly walked out of the room.Nick was stood by the door the whole time and didn't bother moving. "Why didn't
BEING STUCK IN the hospital for however long I had left was not one of my plans. But more importantly, I hated the fact that I had to be plugged to so many machines just to stay alive.The room I was given was fairly larger than most hospital rooms. It had white walls with a large window ov
THE DRIVE TO the hospital was quiet as neither James nor I had anything to say to each other after that outburst a few minutes ago.I leant my head on the window and watched the trees zoom past us until we pulled up into the very familiar parking lot of the hospital.James turned off
I WALKED TO my dad's office and took in a breathe before I knocked. It left like Deja vu standing in front of a door knocking to explain myself."Come in," dad's voice said from the other side of the door.Slowly, I turned the door knob and opened the office door wide enough before I
