~MARCELLA~

I’ve never been good at standing still after humiliation.

Scratch that! I have never been humiliated before.

And I really do not like how humiliation feels.

It clings. It crawls under my skin. It makes my palms itch and my throat burn and my eyes sting in a way I absolutely refuse to acknowledge.

So when Stephanie reaches for my arm, I pull away.

Not because of her.

Because if I let her touch me right now, I might fall apart.

“I’m fine,” I say quickly, though m

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    MARCELLA'S CONTROL

    ~MARCELLA~I am in school very early today because I want to avoid all the attention and to avoid meeting Lucas out in the open.And then, he walks in, and the moment he walks into the class…my world tilts.Everything inside me breaks.It’s not dramatic from the outside. No one would notice. No one ever does.But inside me?Everything fractures at once.My chest tightens so hard it almost hurts, like my heart recognizes him before my mind can even catch up. My fingers twitch on the pen I’m holding, and for one reckless second—just one—I almost stand up.He looks the same.Of course he does.Effortlessly put together, that quiet, dangerous confidence wrapped around him like it belongs there.I almost run to him.I almost throw everything away.Because God… I miss him.I miss the way his presence fills a room. The way everything feels sharper, louder, more alive when he’s around. I miss the tension, the chaos, the pull I never asked for but couldn’t escape.I miss

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THE NEW VERSION OF MARCELLA

    ~LUCAS~It's another joint class today, and as I am preparing myself to go to school today, I am also bracing myself to confront Marcella when I see her.The last time we saw was three days ago…when she told me she's done chasing me.And God! I miss her like hell!So today, I'm looking forward to seeing her beautiful face again.I decided to leave very early for school because I want to avoid watching students and their already frustrating reactions.And it's one of the best decisions I ever made in my life as I arrived at school.It's quiet….too quiet.There is no cheering crowd or Marcella around to start fake dating.Everything is peaceful and calm.I walk into the class and stop walking immediately when I see her.Marcella…. sitting in class in her usual seat.The same place, same posture, same perfectly straight back, legs crossed neatly, pen resting between her fingers.Everything looks the same.But it isn’t.Because I know something is wrong the second I s

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THE REAL MARCELLA

    ~LUCAS~“Lucas, that's a wrong order.”I blink and look down.I stare at the cup in my hand like it personally offended me.“That was supposed to be a caramel latte,” Daniel adds, watching me.I glance at the label again.Americano.Right.“Yeah,” I mutter, already dumping it out. “Got it.”First mistake.Fine…..whatever.It happens.I start over, forcing my attention back to the machine, to the rhythm I’ve done a thousand times before.Grind. Steam. Pour.Except halfway through, my phone buzzes.My head snaps toward it instantly.Too fast. Too eager.Daniel notices. I can feel it.I ignore him, grabbing my phone from the counter, my chest tightening slightly as I check the screen.Nothing.Just a notification from some random app.Not her.Of course not her.A quiet, almost irritated breath leaves me as I drop the phone back down.Focus.I need to focus.But it’s like my brain didn’t get the memo.Because a second later, I’m staring at the milk frothing o

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THIS ISN'T OVER

    ~LUCAS~I still remain frozen.I still don’t move.Not when she walks away.Not when her heels echo down the hallway like each step is carving something out of my chest.I just… stand there.Like an idiot.Like someone who just got hit by something he didn’t see coming—even though every sign was right in front of him.She said she’s done chasing me.The words replay in my head, over and over again, each time hitting harder than the last.Done.Marcella Nico… done chasing me.A humorless breath leaves my lips.That shouldn’t bother me this much.It shouldn’t feel like something just shifted in a way I can’t control anymore.But it does.God, it does.I drag a hand through my hair, exhaling slowly, trying to steady whatever the hell is happening inside my chest.It feels… wrong.Everything feels wrong.The hallway still feels too quiet. Too empty.Like something that was just here… something loud, chaotic, alive… just disappeared.And I didn’t stop it.I didn

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    MY SWEET BEST FRIEND

    ~MARCELLA~I don’t look back, but I can feel it though.The weight of his eyes on me.The way the air behind me feels thicker, like something is trying to pull me back… like he’s trying to pull me back without actually moving.But I don’t stop.I can’t.Because if I do…if I give myself even a second…I know I’ll break.And I refuse to break in front of Lucas.Not again.Not for him.My heels click against the tiled hallway, sharp and steady, echoing louder than they should. Each step feels forced, like I’m dragging myself forward when every part of me is screaming to turn around.He likes me.A shaky breath slips past my lips.God.Of all the things he could’ve said… that is what he chooses now?After confusing me.After pushing me away.After making me feel like I imagined everything between us.Now he likes me?I let out a quiet, bitter laugh under my breath.“Of course you do,” I murmur to myself. “Of course you do now.”But it’s not funny.Because the worst pa

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    SHE'S DONE CHASING ME

    ~LUCAS~“Then why did you tell me to forget everything?” Marcella asks.My expression shifts, and I don’t answer her.Not because I don’t have an answer.But because every possible answer sounds like a confession I’m not ready to make.The silence stretches between us, thick and suffocating. I can feel her eyes on me….waiting, searching, demanding something real for once.And God… I want to give it to her.I want to tell her everything.That I told her to forget because I was scared.That I pulled away because I already like her too much.That every time I look at her, I feel like I’m reaching for something I was never meant to have.But instead, I clench my jaw.“Lucas.”Her voice is softer now, but somehow that makes it worse.I exhale slowly, dragging a hand through my hair, buying time I don’t deserve.“It’s complicated,” I finally say.The moment the words leave my mouth, I already know I’ve messed up.Her expression changes instantly.Not dramatic
