~ELENA~

I stand in front of my open suitcase, numb fingers folding clothes I don't even see. Every sound in the house feels heavier than usual ... .the ticking clock, the muffled footsteps, the creak of wood that had witnessed too many secrets.

I try not to think. Not to think of my new school I'm going to miss because I'm going into hiding. I try not to think of my friends, Valentina and Gianna, that I may never see again as Lorenzo has forbidden us not to step into Flor

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    A DAY OF HAPPINESS, A PASSIONATE KISS

    ~LUCAS~Ever since I admitted to Camilla that I'm attracted to her and that she's become a very important person, I've been relieved.The fact that we both agreed to take things slow brings joy in my heart because we now have an understanding and we can still be in each other's spaces without feeling awkward and tense.When I asked Camilla if she knew Marcella, I wished she actually knew her for a moment….and it's because of the possibility of finally getting answers to the questions that have haunted me for years.If Camilla knew her, perhaps she could tell me how to contact her and then I would get my answers.But Camilla insisted she didn’t know Marcella personally, and although I didn't believe her and had every reason to feel disappointed, something strange happened.I wasn't disappointed at all and it's because I have Camilla now. The sweet, caring, kind, and playful Camilla. My best friend.The semester has officially come to an end, and with it, my for

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    MY SAFE SPACE

    ~CAMILLA~The silence between us stretches even after I take a seat across Lucas.He is still looking at me, his expression unreadable, and for one terrible moment, I wonder if I've made a mistake by bringing up the kiss.I shift in my seat, clasping my hands together to keep myself from fidgeting. “Why are you doing this to us?”His eyebrows draw together slightly. “Doing what?”“This.” I gesture helplessly between us. “The distance. The way you barely look at me anymore unless you're explaining something, and how every conversation feels like we're both trying so hard not to say the wrong thing.”His expression changes, and I swallow the lump forming in my throat.“Did I do something wrong?” I ask quietly. “Camilla, no.” His response comes immediately. “You haven't done anything wrong.”“Then why does it feel like you're trying to push me away again?” I ask, remembering the first time he gave me distance too.He looks down at his hands, and the sight of hi

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION

    ~CAMILLA~I kissed Lucas.I actually kissed Lucas.The realization keeps repeating itself in my head as I stare at him, my lips still tingling from the kiss we just shared.I don't know which part is more unbelievable: the fact that I kissed the man I've been secretly falling in love with, or the fact that he kissed me back.And, God, did I enjoy it.I enjoyed the warmth of his lips against mine, the way his fingers held mine against his cheek, and the tenderness with which he looked at me before our mouths met.I enjoyed how naturally I leaned into him, as though some part of me had been waiting for that moment long before either of us dared to acknowledge it.And the most embarrassing part? I wanted more.Even after we pulled apart, even as I looked into his eyes and realized what we'd just done, a part of me wanted to close the distance again.I wanted to kiss him until I forgot every reason I shouldn't want him.I wanted to know what it would feel like to be

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    OUR FIRST KISS

    ~LUCAS~I'm having a trauma triggered panic attack in the presence of Camilla.My heart is pounding so hard that I can hear it in my ears.I can't stop shaking.The room feels smaller, the air heavier, and the rain outside seems to be growing louder with every passing second."Lucas?"Camilla's voice reaches me from somewhere far away.I can't answer. I can't even look at her.My arms wrap around my body, my hands gripping my upper arms as though I can somehow hold myself together by force.Another crack of thunder makes me flinch violently."Lucas?"She's beside me now. I can see her moving in the corner of my vision, but I can't make myself focus on her."Lucas, look at me."I try…. I swear I try, but all I can see is my mother standing in the rain.All I can hear is the storm that swallowed the last moments of her life.My breathing becomes more erratic, each attempt to draw air leaving me more frightened than the last, and feeling like the terrified boy

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    THE STORM

    ~LUCAS~By Thursday evening, Camilla and I are more than determined to prepare for her next exam.She is sitting across from me at the table, surrounded by her notes, textbooks, and the color-coded flashcards she's prepared for her third paper.Her first two examinations were on Monday and Tuesday, and I still haven't forgotten what happened after she finished writing them.On Monday evening, I was reviewing some case notes when my doorbell rang.I'd barely opened the door before Camilla came flying into my apartment."Lucas!"I had just enough time to recognize her face before she threw her arms around me and practically jumped against my body.I stumbled backward, catching her instinctively before either of us could lose our balance."Whoa! Camilla!""I did it!"She was laughing so hard that I could barely understand her."Did what?" I ask."I wrote my paper! And I knew the answers!" She pulled back just enough to look at me, her face glowing with excitement. "L

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    I'M SORRY, MARCELLA

    ~CAMILLA~"Marcella Nico?"The moment Lucas's eyes widen, I realize what I've done.Oh, God.What have I just done?For a second, I forget how to breathe. I can only stare at him, watching the surprise on his face slowly give way to suspicion as he leans forward."How do you know her?" he asks. "Camilla, what exactly do you know about Marcella Nico?"My heart pounds against my ribs.I have never been particularly good at hiding things from people who know me well, and judging by the way Lucas is looking at me, he is already beginning to suspect that there's more to my question than simple curiosity.I force myself to smile. "Know her? I don't know her personally.""Then how did you know her name?" He asks."Well..." I look down briefly, pretending to think. "I came across her on Instagram once. I remember seeing her pictures, and I was surprised by how much she looked like me. I thought it was such an unusual resemblance that I remembered her name."It's a lie.

    ~ELENA~Nico's lips graze my cheeks…almost a kiss.Almost.And then the gym door swings open.“Damn!” We both exclaim.Riccardo walks in, towel over his shoulders. He pauses, eyes flicking between our too-close bodies.“Everything okay here??” He asks, voice neutral, but b

    Alessandro stands in the middle of his father’s office, tall and impassive, hands in his pockets, face unreadable. His black shirt clings to his frame, sleeves rolled to the elbows, veins prominent, tattoos peeking at his wrists. The room is thick with tension.Behind the heavy mahogany desk sits
