Milan, Italy.Alina.Bright, white lights come on, blinding my vision.My eyes snap shut, my fingers shielding it from the brightness. I open my eyes to see a lanky man in a grey suit tap on the microphone and anticipation settles in the pit of my stomach as the ceremony begins.He flashes the audience an innocent and sweet smile and I smile back, feeling giddy. “This is going to be great.” I mutter inaudibly, pressing the purse to my body.Every anger I felt on my way here dissipated the moment I stepped inside the room and now I can’t remember anything that transpired.“Thank you for gracing this event with your presence. This wouldn’t have been possible without your unwavering support.” He adjusts his tie, clearing his throat.As he speaks, his eyes dart around the room, sweat beading on his forehead. I can sense the anxiety swimming in his eyes and for some unknown reason, I find my palms sweating. The hall is brimming more than 200 people with different faces and expressions in

Chapter 13Milan, Italy.Alina.My finger hovers over Brielle’s number before clicking on it again, placing it over my ear. It rings for a while and goes into voicemail. A new text from her pings my phone and I rake my fingers through my hair at the content.‘Stop calling. I have no idea where he is.’ I fling the phone onto the bed and puff out an air of frustration, pacing around the room. Ever since my meeting with Jeremy at the café, every attempt to reach him had proven futile. Without hesitation, I pull my top over my head and drop it on the bed, storming into the bathroom. After a while, I step out of the steaming hot shower and dry myself with a towel, motioning up almost instantly.I fish out a black T-shirt from the closet and put it on, not bothering to do my hair. Grabbing my phone and wallet, I dash out of the room, not bothering to look back or lock the door.Anxiety pricks my chest when I descend down the stairs and meet Adrian working shirtless in the dining area, his

Chapter 15Milan, Italy.Alina He places both hands on top of the couch and rests his weight on it, his lips curving into a smirk but the amusement doesn’t reach his eyes. “I didn’t expect you to be back home so early from your father’s, seeing how worked up you were before leaving.”A new wave of anger floods my body and I close my eyes for a second, dragging in large breaths to calm my nerves before opening my eyes.“What the hell did you think you were doing?” I seeth, taking a bold step towards him.He stares deeply into my eyes, unmoving as I try to contain my rage.“Tell me, Adrian. What were you hoping to get? What exactly was that about?!” My voice echoes through the air, the scream piercing every wall in the quiet room.“Did you go to see him?” I scoff, running a hand through my hair. “You know, I used to think that you had so much self respect. That you were such a great person. I’ve been so fucking wrong!”“Did. You. Go. To. See. Him?” He grits out, his jaw clenching so

Chapter 17: AlinaMilan, Italy.A quiet sniffle disturbs the room, a warm body pushing into me from behind, a weight on top of me presses into my waist, leaving me barely enough to breathe.My eyes snap open and I slowly glance down at my body to see a large arm circling me, fingers tightly clutching my shirt. I cock my head over my shoulder to get a glimpse of the creature snoring softly behind me.Clamping my lips shut in order to not wake him up, I try to wiggle my way out of his grip but it proves futile as he pulls me back into him, his arm crawling up my neck.A gasp leaves my lips, my eyes widening when I realize he’s trying to trap me in. I grab his hand and try to peel it off me, my heart racing rapidly when he tightens his grip.As if sensing my uneasiness, he lifts his hands off my body and moves back, the bed dipping with his movement. A soft sigh escapes my lips and I rise up to my feet, placing my palm on my chest to calm my nerves.I glance back at him and immediately r

Chapter 19: Alina Milan, Italy. He calls after me, walking briskly to close the distance between us but I don’t give him a chance. I stomp into the house and rush upstairs, wiping the tears away from my face and sniffing back a snot. “Alina, come on.” His voice rings through the walls of the house again, nearer this time. Before I know what’s happening, a hand clasp around my wrist and pulls me back into a hard body, hugging me tightly from behind. “Let me go.” I grit out, digging my nails into his arms to free myself from his grip. As expected, he doesn’t let go and instead, tightens his hold, placing a gentle kiss in the middle of my head. Another wave of anger crashes through me and I lift my knee, sending it flying into his leg. He hisses in pain and just as I think he’s going to let go, he hauls me up and leads us into the living room, setting me down on the couch, not letting me go. “I know you’re upset and don’t want to talk to me right now, but can I stay with you?
