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 Don Luciano Bianchi, his salt-and-pepper hair slicked back. A half-burnt cigar sits forgotten in the crystal ashtray, smoke curling up.

“I told you to stay in America,” Don Luciano’s voice is calm—but

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    LEARNING HOW HER BRAIN WORKS

    ~LUCAS~I don't know what to say immediately.Not because I don't understand what she's telling me, but because I'm beginning to realize just how much she's been struggling with something most people probably mistake for carelessness.I look at Camilla across the table.Her head is lowered, her fingers are intertwined, and there's a visible tremor in them. A tear has landed on the notebook in front of her, and she's staring at it as though she wishes she could somehow make it disappear."I'm sorry."Her voice breaks, and something tightens in my chest.I don't like seeing her like this.There's something particularly uncomfortable about watching someone struggle to explain a part of themselves they've probably spent a long time being ashamed of. Especially when that person seems convinced that they need to apologize for it.I lean back slightly, studying her.I remember the two lessons we've had so far. The countless times I've caught her staring at something ot

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD

    ~CAMILLA~I take a deep breath as I prepare to reveal to Mr. Lucas, what I usually don't reveal to people.I look at him briefly, then return my attention to the table."I was diagnosed with ADHD."There's silence for a while, and for a moment, I almost wish I hadn't said it.Lucas doesn't immediately respond.I can feel his eyes on me, but I cannot bring myself to look up."I have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder," I explain quietly. "And that's why I get distracted so easily."He remains quiet, so I nervously rub my palms together."I know it probably looks like I'm not interested in what you're saying, but I really am. I promise. It's just that sometimes, I can't control where my attention goes."I glance at him.His expression is difficult to read, so I quickly look away again."Sometimes, I can be reading something, and then I suddenly remember something completely unrelated. Before I know it, I'm thinking about that other thing, and I've forgotten w

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DISTRACTION

    ~CAMILLA~I have never been this determined to study in my entire life.Not even during examination periods.Perhaps that sounds ridiculous, considering how much I complain about my courses and how often Esmeralda has to threaten to stop sharing her answers with me. But today is different.Today, I have a reason to prove myself.And that reason is sitting somewhere in the school building, probably preparing to teach me.Mr. Lucas.Just thinking about him makes me smile, but I quickly shake my head and return my attention to the mirror.No. Not today, Camilla.Today, I'm going to be a very good student.After our first tutoring session, Lucas suggested that we fix our lessons on days when I didn't have lectures. He believed that attending classes throughout the day might be exhausting my brain, making it difficult for me to concentrate during our private sessions.I agreed immediately.And when he checked my timetable, we settled on today.My lecture-free day.

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    MY DIFFICULT STUDENT

    ~LUCAS~I take Camilla's notes from her and open them.The first thing I realize is that I'm going to have to prepare more than I originally planned.I know psychology.Not as deeply as someone studying it, obviously, but I've taken enough related courses and studied enough material over the years to understand the fundamentals.The problem is that Camilla isn't a law student.She's studying psychology, and that means I can't walk into these sessions relying entirely on what I already know.If I'm going to teach her properly, I need to understand what she's being taught, how her department approaches each subject and, more importantly, exactly what her lecturers expect her to know.I glance through her Biological Psychology notes and handouts, and I see topics like Brain structures, The nervous system, Neurotransmitters.I scan the pages again, mentally organizing where I should begin.I make a decision that from now on, I'll read ahead.I'll research her course

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    OUR FIRST LESSON

    ~CAMILLA~For the first time in a long time, I wake up before my alarm.That alone should tell me how excited I am.For a few seconds, I lie beneath my covers, staring at the ceiling while the events of yesterday replay in my mind.My first private tutoring session with Mr. Lucas is today by three o'clock.A smile slowly spreads across my face.I reach for my phone and check the time. I still have more than enough time to get ready, but instead of going back to sleep like I would normally do before, I throw the covers off and sit up.I feel ridiculously happy.I can't remember the last time I was this excited about going to school.Actually, I'm not sure I've ever been this excited about school.Usually, getting ready for lectures involves me dragging myself out of bed, staring at my wardrobe for ten minutes, complaining about how tired I am, and wondering whether I can survive another lecture without falling asleep.Today?I practically bounce out of bed.I head

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    THE MESSAGE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

    ~CAMILLA~The moment the call ends, I lower my phone and stare at the screen with a smile I can't seem to control.Across from me, Esmeralda is already staring at me with her arms folded over her chest.I slowly lift my eyes to hers. "Are you satisfied now?"She raises an eyebrow. "Extremely."I roll my eyes.This girl!!!She followed me all the way back to my apartment purely because she wanted the gist.Apparently, my word wasn't enough when I told her Mr. Lucas had agreed to tutor me.She had spent the entire walk questioning me.‘Are you sure he agreed?’‘Did he actually say he would tutor you?’‘Maybe you misunderstood him.’At one point, I had nearly threatened to leave her on the street.But Esmeralda had refused to let it go.So, just to prove her wrong, I had called Mr. Lucas in front of her and put the call on loudspeaker.And now she had heard him agree with her own ears."He actually agreed," she says again, her eyes widening as if she's still process

  • Triplet Temptation: My stepbrothers are triplets    Say that you need the three of us

    ~ELENA~Vincenzo doesn’t take his eyes off me as he shrugs off his jacket, tossing it carelessly onto my couch in the room.“Stand up,” he orders softly, but there’s no room for disobedience in his tone.My legs feel weak, but I obey, standing slowly from the bed.Riccard

    ~ELENA~The whispers multiply until it feels like the entire hallway has turned into a low hum of excitement.“Who is he? Does anyone know?”“They say he is doing his masters.”“I heard he's transferred.”“Transferred? He looks like he walked straight out of a magazine.”“D

    ~NICO~The moment my fist connects with Alessandro’s jaw, the sound is louder than I expect. A sharp crack that silences even the shrieks around us.He stumbles, spits blood, and collapses onto the floor.The crowd roars….half in shock, half in awe. Phones are out, cap
