We’re all currently seated in Kiki’s living room. Kiki's gaze darts between Luca and me, her eyes narrowing like a hawk zeroing in on prey. My focus remains fixed on my fidgeting fingers. As my nails click nervously against the armrest, anxiety gnaws at my stomach. Luca sits majestically, his posture regal. His eyes gleam with overflowing confidence. The dim lighting accentuates his chiseled features. My heart skips a beat, as his gaze locks onto mine. "Why is she so important to you?", Kiki asks, her voice laced with skepticism and concern. Luca turns to her raising a brow, as if questioning her nosiness. I sense a flicker of irritation in his eyes, but it vanishes quickly. "I care for all my employees,", he says. My eyes shoot up to meet his eyes. I almost laughed at how much he’s trying to sound sincere. And I know that Kiki sees past his act too. She raises an eyebrow. "This level of closeness is a bit creepy,", she state, her words hanging in the air. I fiddle wit

I flee to the restroom, my face burning with embarrassment. The media frenzy outside continues, disregarding her interruption. What’s worse is that Luca joined the crowd of people to actually see the truth for himself. And the look of disappointment on his face is the last thing I expect to see. As I run off, the cameras shutter endlessly, mocking me. I burst through the door, the distant hum of conversation constantly reminding me of my failure. I listen as everyone congratulates Rachel, their laughter echoing in my head. I collapse onto the toilet seat, seeking refuge from all the chaos. I bury my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking uncontrollably as tears stream down my face. I thought that taking Luca’s offer and signing my soul away would be the end of my problems. However, it’s just the start. But even my time alone couldn’t last longer than a moment. I hear heels clicking on the tile floor and I instantly quiet down my sobs. The scent of Rachel's perfume wafts through

Jamie's gaze locks onto me, his eyes narrowing. My lips wobble as I try to find words to redeem myself. But none comes. All that makes it out of my mouth is a puff of air. I look down at Sandy, her own hooded eyes looking back at me. Kiki is frozen in her spot, dumbfounded by her own recklessness. “Boss? What do you mean “boss”?”, Jamie asks, surprise, curiosity and suspicion swirling in his voice. A hint of betrayal flickers across his face. And I know that I’m in deep trouble. But it’s too late to go back now. It’ll be futile to come up with any other lies. Kiki and I exchange knowing glances. The silence grows, irking the man even more. "I’m asking you a question!!”, Jamie explodes, firmness edging his tone. Kiki's jumps in her place. This is the first time she’s ever heard him sound so angry. It’s scary, truly. My cheeks flush scarlet, and my gaze falls to the floor. Not one of us is eager to open up first. Kiki glances nervously around the room before pacing to his sid

I blink, my eyes widening in bewilderment, as Luca's scorching gaze lingers on my lips. I feel angered that he still desires me. I blink down at him, unable to decipher the emotion swirling in his eyes. The familiar chill in his eyes has melted, replaced by an unnerving intensity. I feel trapped. Yet, somehow I’m drawn to this unfamiliar vulnerability. Is this the same man that often stares back at me with cold, empty eyes? The man gazing into my eyes, isn’t the same man I met a few days ago. Is it pity? Guilt? I don’t want to be the one to find out. Desperately, I push against his chest. However, Luca's arms envelop me. His hands clasp behind my back, locking me in place. “Where do you think you're going?", he whispers hoarsely. His face burrows into my neck. I can feel his warm breath dancing across my skin. I scrunch my face, squirming against his unyielding grip. But he doesn’t budge. After struggling for a few seconds, I give up. My hands fall limply to my side in defe

3RD PERSON’S POV “What did you say?”, Stella asks, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. Her lips still burn from Luca’s scorching kiss. Her face falls as she glares at Luca, hoping to find a hint of a joke in his eyes. But there’s none. Stella’s hand presses against his chest as she pushes herself off him. Luca’s sad eyes follow her movements as he sits upright. Stella shakes her head in denial, her tongue darting out to wet her lips. She doesn’t know how to feel about his sudden indirect confession. Had he always treated her unfairly knowing that he felt something for her? Or was it an act to cover up for himself? This new information is overwhelming, she would need time to herself. “Stella, listen to me”, Luca’s hand grabs her wrist. However, Stella gently pulls her hand away. She backs away from him, the lines on her forehead deepening. Luca instantly gets the message. She doesn’t want to deal with the issue now. “What are you saying? This isn’t supposed to happe
