I stood on shaky legs, my fingers trembling slightly as they gripped the lapel of his suit like it was a lifeline. Giovanni's lips had just left mine, but the heat lingered.

My breath came in soft gasps, my chest rising and falling as I tried to steady myself. He didn't look the least bit moved, his hands still resting possessively at her waist,

"That..." I murmured, eyes flicking to his mouth, "...was intense."

A half smile played on his lips, "I can't wait for the wedding."

My cheeks flushed, but I held his gaze. My fingers reached up, gently swiping at the smudge of my burgundy lipstick staining the corner of his mouth.

Giovanni groaned, his fingers digging into my waist, "I really can't wait," his voice was a low rumble, promising something dark.

The shivers that followed should be forbidden but I couldn't help it. I shouldn't be enjoying it, neither should my body be wanting more,

But why did it feel so good? I could attribute it to being sex starved for so long, and that was

    It was time for the evening's main event, the fundraising presentation. Everyone was already seated and waiting for the presentation. Alyssa stood at the podium, a bright smile now plastered on her face and I was relieved to see that she was better than earlier. I sat beside Giovanni, our fingers laced together. I leaned closer to him and whispered, "You look really handsome tonight." Giovanni smirked, whispering back, "And you're the only reason I came." Giovanni smirked, whispering back, "And you're the only reason I came."My smile bloomed effortlessly. But it disappeared the second I glanced toward the stage. Alyssa was staring straight at me and the look I gave wasn't just cold. It was venomous. I blinked, confused. Then Alyssa began. "Ladies and gentlemen," she said sweetly, her tone smooth, "before we dive into the vision for the Orlando Fund, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the people behind the face of our family." People clapped softly, unsure where she was

    Enzo hesitated, his eyes scanning my face before answering. "I don't know if you'll like it.""Just say it, Enzo." He paused again, then finally said, "It's not Michelle." My heart dropped. "What?" I blinked. "She's clear. I had my guys follow her for days. There's nothing. No suspicious activity, no connections to whoever's been messing with you. If anything, she's just busy trying to book modeling gigs and dodging her debts." I stared at him, stunned. "But she knows things. Things only she could've used to-""I know, but anyone can get that information if they dig well enough." He said gently. "We're down to three people now. Alyssa, Darcy, and a girl who just started working in the kitchen two months ago." I blew out a restricted breath, raking my hands through my hair. It seemed like we were truly hitting a dead end. Alyssa couldn't possibly be the culprit, and neither was Darcy but I couldn't rule them out either. "Okay," I muttered morosely. He placed a hand on my shoul

    The cab rolled to a quiet stop on the edge of a small, private cemetery. I stepped out, confused at first, then my heart sank as recognition hit. It was Dahlia's resting place. I walked forward, as the car sped off into the road, the gravel crunching underneath my feet. I pushed the gate and walked into the cold area, it was almost lifeless and I realized the irony of it. I didn't stop walking until I was in front of a familiar polished headstone nestled beneath a blossoming tree. The sight of my twin name carved into the stone made my throat close up. Dahlia Monroe. Beloved daughter, sister, and friend. A life that was snatched too early. I hadn't been here since the funeral. And I hadn't really said goodbye. I fell to my knees, and sank to the ground, my fingers brushing the cold marble. "I'm sorry I haven't been coming by," I whispered, my voice was trembling. Tears slowly blurred my vision and I couldn't hold them back. "To be honest. I don't know what I'm doing, D," cr

    We were done with the food and moved to decorate the main hall. The chairs and tables were cleared away so it was just a vast space ready to beautified for the gala. It turned out that Cristina actually had a thing for event planning and putting things together. Her obsession with fashion and everything that glittered didn't just end with her clothes. And she wasn't bad company either. She kept cracking jokes that actually made me laugh. "Dahlia, look at this," Cristina called, holding up a bright pink and maroon colored ribbons. "Which one will fit best."I pointed to the maroon. "Looks more mature. The pink is too bright."She looked at it for a moment before nodding. "You're right. Where have you been hiding all this time?" She said with a loud laugh. "You really have excellent taste." José popped in not long after, giving us a quick once-over. "Everything looks good, honey," he said, pressing a kiss on her cheek. "You're working overtime again.""No, I have Dahlia here with me

    I stretched my arms above my head, a lazy yawn slipping from my mouth. Slowly, I turned to my side carefully in order not to wake Giovanni. Giovanni was still fast asleep, laying on his side with an arm tossed over the pillow and his dark hair was tousled and curled at the ends. It made him look innocent. I smiled softly. Last night was perfect. After a brief dinner, we curled up with a mountain of snacks, binged on an old Drew Barrymore rom com, and to my satisfaction, Giovanni had finally admitted that choco mint wasn't a bad flavor for an ice cream. We laughed, kissed, laughed some smoke, and then eventually we had sex. The kind that still left my body tingling till now. I could still feel the pleasant ache between my thighs, a reminder of how he'd claimed me so brutally. With a coy smile, I slipped out of bed and pulled on one of Gio's oversized shirts and the lazy pants I'd shrugged on last night. I swiped my phone from the dresser and stepped out of the room, my thumbs f

    The bathroom echoed with the harsh sounds of me retching into the toilet. My arms trembled as I gripped the porcelain, my stomach twisting for the umpteenth time that day. We had barely made it home before the nausea overtook me again, strongly this time. Anytime I blinked, all I saw was the image of the raincoat figure staring at me. I had no idea where she had gone, and the fear that the culprit could be anyone terrified me. I wrinkled my nose at the sight in front of me, I must've thrown up the entire content of my stomach. I pressed the flush button and rose to my feet, shakily. I headed towards the sink and turned on the tap, cupping cool water into my way. I swished it, rinsing the acidic taste away as my eyes lifted to the mirror. Shit. I'd gotten pale, the bottom of my eyes had a dark shade to them and I looked more tired than I've ever been in years. But something else caught my attention. I looked fuller, more curvier than usual. A hand went to my waist instinctively
