ALEX''I'm going to invite Lucy and Nat to my birthday party''''Don't you fucking dare Sam'' Monica said, glaring at her.Here we go again!''Why the fuck you are so against it, Monica?'' Sam asked, glaring back.''Yeah, why?'' I kicked Rocco's leg when he asked that.One thing I got to know from years of friendship is that, never, I repeat, never get in the middle of a girl's argument.Thankfully, they are both busy glaring at each other to notice us.We do this shit twice or thrice a month according to our schedules. This time it's my place. I live in a separate house, apart from my family.When I say family, it means the whole family.My grandmother died before I was born, so it's just my grandpa Adriano, his first son, a.k.a my father Gilbert, his second son Gino, my uncle and his wife Melissa, along with their daughter Karina, that's our grandma's name, live in our family house, but I moved out as soon as I joined college.His third and precious child, my aunt Giada and her husb

LUCY ''How is everything Ria?'' I asked her on the phone while going through my wardrobe. Sam invited me and Nat to her birthday party! She even asked me to bring the kids. I still don't know how she knows about Jay and Vicky. I'm assuming it's either Mr. Agosti or Mr.Ganovese was the one who told her. Yeah, he is not Hottie anymore. It's been more than a week since he came to my home. Things were awkward afterwards. I tried to speak to him many times during office hours, but he chose to ignore me. I was so hurt that I almost cried! So, now back to Ria. As we planned, I booked her a room in NewView! She is staying there from today for two weeks. Hope she finds something against Moretti's! ''Everything is okay. The room is so beautiful! The view from the balcony is awesome.'' She sounds excited. ''I'm glad you like it! But please be careful, if you ever have the slightest doubt that you are in danger, just run from there, OK?'' ''Okayyy'' she said in a sing-song voice. I rolle

LUCY Nat freaked out when I said I have a date and told me I was finally living a life. I rolled my eyes. Dramatic much? When I told my monkeys, Jay smiled and told me to enjoy myself, while Vicky begged me to take him along. It took a lot of time for us to convince him and he finally calmed down when Nat said they would have an indoor date while I was gone. It's still noon and the clock is not ticking fast enough. One minute it feels like I only have 5 hours and the next second it feels like I still have 5 hours. Urghhh. Right now, Nat is going through my closet, trying to find the perfect outfit for today's date. She was doing that for the past 30min and still didn't find anything. According to her and I quote '' Mr. Hottie will definitely take me to a grand place and all I have is grandma's clothes'' I rolled my eyes and decided to message Hottie. Me : Where are we going? I don't want to get underdressed or overdressed. I still didn't get a reply even after waiting for 5

LUCY''He is just so hot, like he came out directly from the magazine. I mean how is that even possible?'' Beatrice, Alex's new assistant, said, shaking her head.It's been a few days since our date and I miss him like hell. We barely get any time to meet and I almost regret taking my old job back. Almost.But he always makes sure to call me though, atleast once a day. Sometimes he comes to our floor to meet Rocco, in excuse to see me. And sometimes, I go to his office, using some excuses like getting his signature or giving him some files, like right now.''Yes, I agree. I can go in now?'' I asked her impatiently, giving her a forced smile.''Uh-ah, not so soon. I know what you are doing, Lucy. You come here every chance you get and you wont even let me, his assistant, to take those files to him'' she gave a knowing look and continued. ''No offense honey, but he is out of our league. I tried flirting with him on my second day and almost lost my job. He literally said 'Ms. Calvo, I do

ILARIA Pain shot up through my arm but I didn't budge. The physical pain I'm enduring right now is nothing compared to the pain I feel emotionally. ''I told you to stop talking about my sister. You have a problem with me stalking you? Then tell me what I need to know! WHO.KILLED.MY.SISTER?'' I asked, glaring at him. To my surprise, he smiled at me amusingly while rubbing his jaw, which, by the way, wasn't even damaged a bit. Which made me more annoyed. ''Did I crack a joke?'' I asked, raising my eyebrows, deadpanned. His smile became a full blown laugh."No. It's just, you never fail to amaze me. First you tried to stalk me, but failed. I know, beginner's mistakes. Now you even dared to punch me and injured yourself in the process. I can't wait to see what else you'll do next.'' My cheeks flushed with embarrassment. ''Stop diverting the question and answer it! I bet you know what happened to her, right? How she was starved? Raped? Huh? Were you there while she was suffering?'' I s
