~FIORELLA~

I am in my office right now, and I should be working.

I am working.

The file in front of me is open, my pen moving, my posture perfect….controlled, composed, untouchable.

But my mind?

It’s not here.

It keeps replaying him.

The way he stood in that courtroom like he belonged there.

Like he’d always belonged there.

The way his voice dropped when he said “they knew”....calm, firm, lethal.

The way the room shifted toward him.

The way I…..

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    DRUNK FIORELLA

    ~LUCAS~Her lips crash into mine.And for a second, just a second, it’s soft and uncertain. Like she doesn’t fully know what she’s doing.Like I still have time to stop this.But I don’t.Because the moment I feel her, something in me snaps completely.I kiss her back, not gently, not carefully.But like I’ve been holding something back for far too long without realizing it.My hand tightens instinctively around her waist, pulling her closer, steadying her….but also keeping her there. Her fingers clutch my jacket harder, like I’m the only thing keeping her upright, and maybe I am.Her lips move against mine again, slower this time, warmer… and I feel it everywhere.God.This is wrong.She’s drunk, and I’m not sober enough.This shouldn’t be happening.But none of that matters when she tilts her head slightly, when her breath brushes against my skin, when her body presses closer like she belongs there.Like she fits there.My mind starts to blur at the edges.

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THE KISS

    ~LUCAS~Time passes, but I don’t know how much.The drinks keep coming.She keeps sipping, slow and careful at first, then less careful.I notice it before she does.The slight sway in her stance.The way her words take just a fraction longer to come out.The way her eyes linger a little too long on things.She’s getting drunk.And somehow…So am I.Not completely, but enough.Enough to feel lighter and looser.And that’s when it hits me that she's about to lose her balance.My hand moves before I even think about it, gripping her arm just as she stumbles slightly.Her body leans into mine, softer than I expected, and warmer than I should notice.Yeah.She’s drunk.And there’s no way in hell she realizes how obvious it’s becoming.My eyes flick around the room instinctively.People are starting to loosen up too.Soft music is playing, people swaying slowly, laughter rising, conversations blending into something warmer, messier, louder.There are too many eyes, a

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    I LIKE THIS VERSION OF HER

    ~LUCAS~I don’t realize how long I’ve been standing here…staring at her…until something shifts in my peripheral vision.The corner of my eyes catches a familiar figure watching us, and I know instantly that it's Chloe.My eyes flick toward her instinctively, and sure enough….she’s already looking straight at me.Not subtly either.Her gaze is direct, and intentional.Like she’s been waiting for the exact moment I’d notice.And the second I do…her lips curve slightly.It's an invitation.She wants to come over.I can see it in the way she shifts her weight, the way her fingers tighten around her glass, the way her eyes flick—just briefly—to Fiorella…then back to me.Her eyes are calculating and hesitating because she can't come over.Not while I’m standing here.Not while I’m with her.I exhale slowly, dragging my gaze away from Chloe, but the awareness doesn’t leave.It lingers, and pulls at me.Because normally, I would go over.I’d walk up to her, say somethi

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    PARTY TENSION

    ~LUCAS~It feels like I'm staring at Marcella.My chest tightens in a way I don’t like, something sharp and unexpected cutting through my calm as I stare harder, trying to find something—anything—that proves me wrong.But there’s nothing.Nothing.Even the way she holds herself…that quiet dominance, that effortless control, that look in her eyes like the entire room exists beneath her…Marcella.“Lucas?”I blink.Charlotte’s voice snaps me out of it slightly, but not enough.Not nearly enough.Because she’s still there, and I’m still staring.I drag in a slow breath, forcing my body to move again, to walk forward like a normal person, even though nothing about this feels normal anymore.The room is loud—soft jazz humming in the background, glasses clinking, people laughing, but it all fades into a dull, distant noise in my ears.Because somehow, she’s the only thing my brain is registering.Like everything else has blurred out just to make her clearer.And I hat

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    EXACTLY MARCELLA

    ~FIORELLA~“Oh my goodness! Isn't he so handsome??” Charlotte says.“Who, Charlotte??” I ask.“Over there,” she replies, and nudges me to look toward the direction that she's looking at.And I immediately regret looking, because I see Lucas walking into the dinner party.I quickly scoff and look away.Handsome my foot!“Why the reaction, Fiorella?” Charlotte asks, almost teasing. “Don't you think he's handsome?”“He's not handsome,” I reply bluntly.“Oh my! You must really be blind not to see how handsome he is,” she says freely. “Or is it just your dislike for your new partner that is making you not acknowledge his beauty?”I don't reply her, and I scoff again.But then, I decide to get a good look at him.I look at him…. really look at him.For the first time since I met Lucas, I'm really looking at him now and taking every details, both facially and bodily.At six foot five, he towers above most people. He has black wavy hair that straightens toward the nap

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    IT'S PARTY TIME

    ~FIORELLA~The first two days pass exactly the way I expected them to…..loud, overly cheerful, and unnecessarily dramatic.The moment that official announcement was made, the entire firm shifted into something I barely recognize. People suddenly have more energy than usual, conversations are louder, laughter comes easier, and every break turns into a discussion about outfits, drinks, music, and who’s bringing who.It’s exhausting.I sit at my desk on the second day, flipping through a file with precise, controlled movements when some conversations drift to my ears.“I heard they hired a live band this time.”“No way, really? That’s so extra.”“And the catering……oh my God, it’s from that five-star place! I can't really remember the name.”I roll my eyes without even looking up.Of course it is.Because nothing in this firm can ever be done halfway.Everything has to be exaggerated.Even a simple dinner turns into an event.My pen taps once against the paper bef

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    TOO HOT TO BE BORING

    ~MARCELLA~I take one slow step closer to him, letting the bass roll through my body.I stop just close enough for him to smell my perfume—warm, sweet, dangerous.Up close, he’s even better. Sharp jaw. Long lashes. Lips that look like they’ve never learned how to beg. Calm

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    LEAVING FOR BELLIAGO

    ~ELENA~“Help!” I cry out in tears. “Somebody please help!”The sound of my own voice echoes back to me, useless.A man slams the door shut. The engine roars.And just like that, they’re gone.Two of my daughters.Gone.I crawl after them, knees scraping against metal and s

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    AN ATTACK

    ~ELENA~“Get the babies now!”Something in my tone snaps them into motion. Valentina reaches for one baby. Gianna scoops up another. I clutch the third to my chest, heart racing.Vincenzo appears instantly. “What is it?”“I don’t know,” I whisper. “But something’s wrong.”He stu

    ~TWENTY TWO YEARS LATER~ ~MARCELLA~I weave my way onto the dance floor with Stephanie, my best friend, finding the beat as I sway my hips and lose myself in the groove, erupting loud cheering noises from the hungry crowd whose hungry eyes are ravaging all over my body.I'm
