Lillian hurried to the top of the stairs and slammed the bedroom door behind her. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly. She locked the door and pressed her back against it, sliding down until she sat on the floor with her knees to her chest.The image burnt behind her eyelids. Giorgio's lifeless eyes stared at the ceiling, and Alex standing over him looked calm and calculating.Her hands shook as she buried her face in them. The man whom she thought was a changed man. Whom she felt safe with just murdered someone.Tears rolled down her cheeks, soaking her palms. She had known Alex to be dangerous. From the moment they met: his ammunition, his bodyguards and the call.“Clean it up,” Alex ordered his men and went into the mansion. Life is going on as if nothing had happened.But everything had changed.A soft knock at the door made her flinch."Lillian." Alex's voice called out."Open the door."No.There was silence in the room. Then the knob rattled gently, testing the lock. He co

Lillian’s POV:I woke up this morning when the morning sun rays through the light curtain of the hotel rested on my face. My head throbbed lightly when I remembered the incident of yesterday.The kids are with me and Alex. I sat upright with my eyes wide open and filled with embarrassment. How did that happen?One moment, we were standing close to each other, and the next minute, we were caressing each other like never before.Alex’s lips were on mine. It was warm and cold at the same time. This was supposed to be a contract. I was supposed to be his worker, but now everything seems to be changing.I remembered that I had to go downstairs for breakfast, and I was filled with regret. I couldn't face him. Not yet…I dragged myself out of bed, and I glanced at the clock. It was still early, but I needed to do something to distract myself.Packing? Yes, that would help. I pulled my suitcase from the corner and unzipped it. Clothes tumbled out in a heap. Many more dresses for dinners, jean

THE CONFESSIONThe word slipped out of Lilian’s mouth and fell into the room like a broken glass. Jessie looked at her in disbelief. Everywhere went silent immediately. They were seated beside each other facing the television. Lillian nodded her head, “Yes, Jessie. I kissed Alex.”Jessie froze.Not in a calm way. Her eyes widened in disbelief at first, then her lips parted as if she wanted to laugh it off. To say Lillian was joking, but she had always seen it coming. Jessie waited for Lillian to tell her it was a lie. But Lilian said nothing else. Her silence confirmed everything.Jessie stood up so fast from the chair, “You… what?” Jessie asked slowly.Lilian swallowed and inhaled deeply. “We kissed.”Jessie stared at her as if she were looking at a stranger. She couldn’t believe that Lillian would do such a thing so soon. "Wow," Jessie exclaimed. “Just wow, Lillian.”“It wasn’t planned,” Lilian rushed to speak up. “I didn’t go looking for it. It just happened."“Stop.” Jessie li

Dinner at Alex’s place is exactly what everyone would expect from a guy with too much money and so much drama.The restaurant was breathtaking with all the bulbs and chandeliers glowing. The waiters moved swiftly and quietly as they carried out their duties especially when the owner of the restaurant is hosting a private dinner.The restaurant was filled with people of high profile who make things happen. The likes of politicians and business men who spent the night trading secrets over expensive old wine. Lillian sat next to Alex looking incredibly hot in her dress, but she stayed still. Her hands were in her laps. She nodded politely with little fake smiles when spoken to. Alex on the other hand was losing his mind. He wasSupposed to be networking bit he couldn't stop staring at her. Every time she leaned forward or shifted in her seat, his eyes drifted. He hated himself for paying close attention to her. He was a man who was always in control and let the ladies trip for him but

The club was filled with deep, rhythmic bass music that crawled under the skin before Lillian and Alex stepped in, but the moment they did, everything changed.It wasn't just the music or the blinking lights that painted the room with different colours. It was them. Lillian could feel all the eyes on them as she and Alex stepped into the building. Her heels clicked against the floor, and she straightened her posture. She lifted her chin, which made her look confident. She was wearing a short glittering white dress which revealed her curves and her legs. Beside her was Alex, who was dressed in a black suit with no tie; the top buttons of the shirt were undone, and his sleeves were slightly lifted with his hair styled to perfection. Alex’s shoulders were high as if he carried everyone in the room. Which didn't stop Lillian from noticing the way people became quiet and respected him. It was just like every other night. A few men nodded and whispered as they passed. Some ladies stare
