"Stop over-worrying, Clara. You'll be fine." I said as Clara smoothed her peach dress again."I don't want to do this. I can't do this. His family are even worse than him; he'll feed me to them, and they'll devour me without thinking." Clara panicked as we walked into the foyer. "I should pretend that I'm sick again. I'm sure I can convince Lorenzo this time. I can say I have the flu or a cold or a brain-eating virus or—""Stop." I stood in front of her and grabbed her shoulders. "Overthinking won't help you. Hell, you'll end up more stressed.""I know, but I just can't help it. You don't know these people. They're vile. Silvano might not acknowledge me, but at least he doesn't insult me. His family, on the other hand..." She muttered and pressed her lips into a thin line."I might not know them, but I know the universal rule of all b*tchy people: if you're timid and fearful, they'll finish you. But if you act confident and show them you aren't intimidated, they'll back down. You need

"Lorenzo!" A woman squealed the moment Lorenzo and I stepped into what looked like a very exclusive-looking club. Her curvy figure swayed as she sashayed towards him, and she threw her arms around him."I—""You're getting too comfortable with me, Sylvia." Lorenzo growled, glaring down at her without reciprocating her hug, and she jumped away from him."I'm sorry; it’s just it has been a while since I saw you and I've missed you so much. Haven't you missed me?" She said softly, pushing her blonde hair over her ear and batting her eyes at him. "I've been thinking of you. Of us. You—""There's no us, Sylvia. There never was one, so stop feeding your delusions." He hissed, and she flinched."I... I-I t-thought we had... we were..." She stuttered, but his harsh glare dried the rest of her words.Were they in a situationship or something? It seemed like she thought she had something with him, but he wasn't on the same page with her.My gaze flickered between the two of them, and I pursed m

#Day 3#I pushed my hair behind my ear as I walked to one of the private VIP booths, and I let out a shaky breath.Damn, first days at a new job can be a b*tch.It wasn't like I was doing anything other than talking and maybe a little flirting here and there. Honestly, the job was almost too easy to be real.I had spent the previous day on the sidelines watching my coworkers talk with patrons and learning how the job worked.It had looked easy seeing it from afar, but being pushed into the spotlight sent all my nerves flying in a frenzy.And it didn't help that someone requested me yesterday. Yesterday! I was practically not doing anything, but I still caught someone's eye.With the way Sylvia was excited and nervous, it was someone really important, VIP of VIP it seemed. Of course she moved it to when I actually started the job, which led me to the situation I currently was in.And to my ‘luck’, the patron had requested a private booth. I was going to be f*cking alone in a secluded p

"I'm not in trouble, am I?" I asked as I shut the door of the car and strapped in my seat belt."Why would you think that?" Lorenzo asked as the car purred to life and he drove off."Because you could have sent someone else to come to pick me up, but you didn't. Were you afraid that I would have run away and you lost the deal, or did you just miss me?" I grinned."The deal was you and Clara escaping; if only you left, it doesn't count. And why would I miss you? You've been a thorn in my side since we met." He said, completely focused on the road."Come on, don't be shy. According to a certain someone, you've been talking quite fondly about me." I wiggled my brows at him."What nonsense has Pablo been spewing now?" He groaned.How did he know I had spoken with Pablo? Didn't know, didn't care. He probably had cameras watching me, or Sylvia had reported my every move to him."Well, it's not nonsense if he was saying the truth. Was he rig

"You b*tches thought you were smart, huh?" Marco smirked as he leaned against one of the five cars that blocked the entrance of the subway station.I scowled and glowered at the cocky bastard.Ugh, of all the people under Lorenzo, it had to be the cockroach that found us. Couldn't any other person be smart enough to discover our moves? How dumb were the others if he was the only one that could trace us?"Why did it have to be Marco?" Clara hissed, clicking her tongue. Good to know she was just as pissed as I was."Should we make a run for it?" She whispered."No. They would catch us, and I don't want to give him the thrill of us being the prey and he being the hunter. I'm sure he would jerk off to that." I mumbled."What are you two b*tching about? Hope you aren't planning to run because I'm going to have one helluva time hunting you down. If you beg, I can give you a head start." He grinned, and I almost rolled my eyes.Like I was go
