~LUCAS~

I don’t stop walking until I’m outside.

The cool air hits my face, and only then do I realize my hands are clenched into fists.

What the hell was that?

I drag a hand through my hair, breathing hard, and forcing my body to stop shaking.

My goodness! She affects me so much.

I have never been the one to be affected so badly by women.

In fact, I don't really like women and I try my best to avoid them, but none of them have ever affected me like Marcella.

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

    ~LUCAS~I move closer to the table, setting my file down beside Fiorella's.Our hands brush, light, and accidental ... .but enough.She freezes just for a fraction of a second.Then she pulls her hand back like she touched fire.“Careful,” she says coldly. “I believe I made myself clear earlier.”I lean slightly closer, lowering my voice just enough.“You did,” I murmur. “And that wasn’t intentional.”Her eyes flash, but she doesn't step back.Instead, she straightens, lifting her chin slightly.“Then keep it that way.”Her tone is sharp and controlled again.But I can see it now……that tension under her skin, that awareness.She’s not as unaffected as she wants to be.Neither of us is.I glance down at the file she’s holding, forcing my focus back to work.I let my gaze skim over the pages, pretending interest, but every nerve in my body is still aware of her, of the neat annotations in her handwriting, of how precise every detail is, of how she leaves no room

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    BROKEN RULES

    ~LUCAS~Fiorella completely ignores me when she comes to work in the morning like I'm something invisible.Like I don't matter at all.Like yesterday never happened.I almost speak to her, almost ask her how her night was and if she's able to sleep last night.I almost ask her how she's feeling this morning and if she feels better now.But I close my mouth tight when I see she's really sticking to her rules.Fine, if that is what she wants….then I'm going to give it to her.Then I ignore her completely too, without any greeting, or even a word to her.But then, I know deep down that we'll still end up talking to each other before the day ends.At the conference room, I catch her stealing glances at me while still maintaining distance from the corner of my eyes, but I don't really look at her.It's just a matter of time before you speak to me, Fiorella.And even though I expected us to talk before the end of today, I'm surprised when the director announces that Fio

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    OPPOSING COUNSELS

    ~FIORELLA~The morning comes quietly.I wake before my alarm.My eyes open slowly, not with panic, not with fear… but with awareness and control.For a few seconds, I lie still, staring at the ceiling, feeling my breathing….steady, even, mine.No racing pulse, no trembling hands, no nightmare clinging to my skin.Just… silence and strength.A slow breath leaves me as I sit up, pushing the covers away. My body feels… grounded. Like every piece of me has returned to its rightful place overnight.Last night happened…..the fear, the crack, the weakness.But it doesn’t own me.It never will.“I’m fine,” I say under my breath, and this time… I mean it.I swing my legs over the bed and stand with no hesitation, and no lingering.I walk straight into the bathroom.The water runs hot against my skin, steady and controlled, just the way I like it.I stand under the shower longer than usual, letting it wash everything away, not just sweat or sleep, but the remnants of yes

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    I'M NOT COMPLETELY ALONE

    ~FIORELLA~My eyes snap open.The scream tears out of me as I jolt upright so violently my body aches from it.I can’t get enough air.My chest heaves, dragging in sharp, uneven breaths that scrape my throat. My hands fly to my body instantly, trembling, frantic, and searching.There's no blood, no knife, no alley.Just… darkness in the room.I’m in my room.For a few seconds, I don’t trust it.My eyes dart wildly around, my heart still racing like I’m being chased. The familiar outline of my wardrobe stands in the corner. The soft glow of the streetlight leaks through the curtains. My bedside table is exactly where it should be.Everything is still and quiet….too quiet.I swallow hard, my throat dry as sand, and press a shaking hand against my chest.“I’m… here,” I whisper, my voice hoarse and unsteady. “I’m home.”But my body hasn’t caught up yet.My pulse is still pounding violently under my skin, my breaths shallow and fast. I can still feel it…..the cold all

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    AN ATTACK

    ~FIORELLA~Something tells me that Lucas is somewhere in the firm watching me right now.But I don't care about him right now.I just need to get home with no one invading or intruding into my personal space.So I just enter my car without bothering to scan the environment or to confirm that Lucas is really watching.I throw my bag to the back seat, and then I start the car.“Just drive, Fiorella… just drive,” I mutter to myself, gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary.Soon, I'm driving out of the firm, and I'm now on the road.The drive home is a blur.I don’t remember the traffic lights. I don’t remember the turns.I just… arrive at my house.The house greets me with silence….. heavy, suffocating silence.I drop my bag on the table and kick off my heels, the relief almost painful.For a moment, I just stand there in the middle of the living room.I'm alone, completely alone, and the quiet presses in too loud and too much.“Why does it feel like the

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    SHE NEEDS SOMEONE

    ~LUCAS~The door clicks shut behind me, soft, controlled, and final.And for the first time in a long time… I just stand there, not moving, not thinking.Just… standing in the middle of the hallway like an idiot.My jaw tightens slowly, then harder.What the hell was that?Why did she switch up so bad like that??Did it offend her to know that I'm in love with another woman??Wait…. don't tell me she's jealous??A humorless scoff almost leaves me, but I swallow it down, my gaze dropping briefly to the floor before lifting again.People are still moving around… staff rushing, voices low, tension thick from everything that happened outside.But it all sounds distant and muted.Because my head?It’s still in that office with her.Every word she said plays back, sharp and precise.‘You should never have walked into my office without permission.’‘Forget everything that happened today.’‘Don’t ever help me again.’‘You are not allowed to come close to me.’My tongu

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    WHO DID THIS TO YOU??

    ~MARCELLA~The air changes the moment Daddy Vincenzo gives the order.“Kill them.”It’s like the entire room inhales at once…and forgets how to breathe.Fear spreads instantly……thick, suffocating, and alive.I see it in their eyes.Every single one of them.The men who had been

    ~LUCAS~The air in the room changes the moment they step in.It doesn’t just shift….it tightens, like something invisible has wrapped around my throat and started squeezing.My eyes lock on them.Xavier and Albert.For a second… just a second… everything inside me goes st

    The decision is made the moment Albert walks out of that bar.It's not written, but sealed somewhere deep in the cold, calculated part of him that no longer hesitates when it comes to getting what he wants.And because he doesn't rush or act on impulse, he plans every move, every action, every seco
