Victor's POVLast night was the best night I'd had in two years. Even though I wasn't able to get Emelia to reveal her identity, I knew in my heart that the woman I spoke to was her.But today was a new day. Which meant, I had another opportunity to try and get her to reveal herself to me.Once I was done getting ready for work, I made my way to the office with a new purpose.Today, I intended on sending out an email to The Collective's secretary. With their storefront just opening in two days, I wanted to coordinate a business meeting with their CEO.Hopefully this time, I would see Emelia face-to-face; without the mask. There was no way she'd be able to hide herself this time.Once I'd hit send, it was only just a matter of time. Luckily, I had a lot of other work and several meetings to attend to in preparation for my company's seasonal release. It would keep me busy in the meantime.But as the hours pressed on and I checked my email, I didn't see anything. I felt my heart sink.May

Emelia's POVI leaned back in my chair, basking in the feel of the warm morning sun against my skin. Today was a big day; even though it wasn't the grand opening of The Collective's storefront. Today was supposed to be my meeting with Victor. We were to discuss a potential business agreement and future partnership between our brands. Yet, I had no intention of doing that. Well, I did, but *I* wasn't going to be the one to broker the deal. "I honestly think you should call off the meeting." Alexis shook her almost empty cup of caramel frappe in circles. "I thought you didn't want him to find out about you yet." "I don't," I replied with my eyes closed. "Then... I don't understand why you'd agree to a business meeting with him." I sighed in a joking manner. "We're best friends, I thought you knew all my tricks." I opened one eye to peek over at Alexis whose head was tilted in a puzzled manner. I watched as the gears turned behind her eyes, and then— "OH!" Her blue eyes widened i

Victor's POVFrustration tried to claw its way out of my chest as I sped back to the sanctuary of my office. My fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.I drove the car in complete silence, letting nothing shelter my mind from the storm of my tumultuous thoughts.The meeting was a disaster.Not only were The Collective's proposed terms and conditions near nothing what I'd envisioned a collaboration would actually be, I was more angry with the fact that it wasn't even Emelia who came.That was probably the worst part of it all.I hated how high my expectations were when I should've known better.It's not like I was given a reason to hold her to such estimations.Yet, my heart still raced with the possibility… the hope.Once I made it back to my headquarters and sulked my way up the steps and past the workspace, I b-lined for my office without saying a word to anyone. Silence slowly descended upon the space as I walked by, each step weighted with disap

Lily's POVWho the hell did these people think they were? Barring me from this store like they owned the place? Lowly little security guards, thinking that their words mattered!Did they know that they were messing with Lily Russo? Wife of the most esteemed, billionaire CEO and business tycoon, Victor Russo?I had a RIGHT to be here!I came with a mission, and I had no intentions of being turned away just because "the store wasn't open yet".Pfft!As if that mattered!I need to make amends to Victor. He clearly likes this store enough to keep their business card around.Not to mention, my girls would be so jealous of me getting early entry into such a prestigious store!"Ma'am, the store isn't open yet!" A short, chubby guard put himself in between me and the entrance, blocking the lobby. "You can come back when it opens tomorrow!""No, what I'm going to do is stand RIGHT HERE, until you fetch me the owner of this place! Clearly, my reputation is lost on someone like you." I snorted."

Victor's POVThe rest of my afternoon was spent doing menial paperwork and answering work emails. Of course, none of it was enough to truly take my mind off of the horrible meeting from this morning, but it took the edge off the madness that crept at the edges of my mind.Well, until I received a phone call from Rory."I thought I told you not to call me unless you had something useful." I answered irritably."Already so grouchy, are we?" Rory teased. "Well, you'll be pleased to know that I was able to secure flight logs of those Italian flights I was able to track down. Your precious Emelia was on the first flight that came in."I merely grunted in response."Hm, not exactly the pleased response I was looking for.""Because I already KNOW that she's here." I sighed. "I saw her, at the masquerade ball.""Oh, well I was not made aware of that. Perhaps I would've found better use of my time if you'd communicated better.""Oh, don't tell me that's the only piece of information you were ab
