Morning After Ache

Elena's POV Sunlight filtered through the curtains that morning, pulling me out of a deep sleep with a dull ache behind my eyes and my whole body feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. I stretched carefully, the silk sheets cool against my bare skin, and noticed right away that Adrian's side of the bed was empty, the covers tossed back like he'd gotten up hours ago. His cologne lingered faintly, mixed with that raw scent of last night's intensity, but I pushed the memories aside because dwelling on it would only make my face burn hotter. Sitting up slow, I winced at the soreness between my thighs, a sharp reminder of how far we'd gone, but instead of spiraling into embarrassment, I grabbed one of his black dress shirts from the chair nearby. It smelled like him, crisp cotton hanging loose with just a few buttons done up, skimming my thighs in a way that felt dangerously short, no underwear because honestly, who could be bothered after all that. Padding barefoot down th

Something Feels Off

Elena's POV It had been two months since Adrian and I had fallen back into this complicated rhythm, and nothing about it felt simple anymore. He had stayed in New York. No more talk of returning to Italy, at least not anytime soon. That decision alone changed everything. It made his presence feel permanent, like he was weaving himself deeper into my life whether I was ready for it or not. We spent nights together sometimes at his mansion, sometimes at mine, drifting between the two places like we were testing how well we fit after everything that had happened. He was still making amends, showing up consistently in that annoyingly reliable way of his. No matter how much of a hard time I gave him and I gave him plenty he never backed down. He just kept trying, patient and steady, like he knew exactly what he had broken and was determined to fix it piece by piece. I wasn’t making it easy for him on purpose. Part of me still wanted him to prove himself more, to earn back the t

When the Truth Finally Hit

Elena’s POVI stayed in the bathroom long enough to start hating the sight of my own face.Pregnant.The word had been sitting in my head like an unwanted guest, smug and impossible to throw out. Every time I tried to tell myself it was stress, or exhaustion, or simply my body being dramatic because it enjoyed ruining my peace, the nausea would come back and ruin that theory too. I pressed my palm against the sink and stared at the mirror, my expression pale and tight and far too aware of the fact that something was not right.“Fantastic,” I muttered to myself. “Just what I needed.”Because of course my life could not be normal for even five minutes.My body had been acting weird all morning, and I had spent the first part of the day pretending it was nothing. That was always my favorite talent, really. Ignore the problem until it got loud enough to slap me in the face. Except this time the problem felt a little too real, a little too close, and a little too terrifying to brush asid

Not Today, Universe

Elena’s POVHappy tears rolled down my cheeks before I could stop them. I turned my face away quickly, trying to pull myself together, because apparently I had turned into the kind of woman who cried in a doctor’s office over the news that she wasn’t pregnant. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.Still, a shaky little laugh slipped out of me anyway. The doctor gave me a polite, understanding smile the kind professionals keep ready for emotional patients and continued explaining everything in that calm, measured tone. Adrian sat right beside me, silent as a statue, his face giving away nothing. As usual. The man could win an award for emotional poker face, and right now I didn’t know whether I wanted to smack him or lean into his shoulder for support.Once the formalities were done and we had all the papers, we left the clinic. The ride home was quieter than I expected. Adrian barely said two words. His hands stayed on the wheel, one of them occasionally flexing like his brain was work

No More Holding Back

Elena’s POVOne Week Later~One week had passed since the pregnancy scare, and I was finally feeling like myself again. No dizziness, no nausea, no waking up wondering if my body was plotting against me. The relief was real. My energy was back, my mood was sharp, and I was more than ready to stop being treated like fragile glass.I had spent the day at the office catching up on everything I’d missed, and when I walked into Adrian’s mansion that evening, the lights were dimmed low and the faint smell of something delicious came from the kitchen. He had cooked again. The man was really embracing this domestic side lately, and part of me loved it while the other part wanted to tease him endlessly for it.I kicked off my heels by the door and padded into the living room. Adrian stood near the window with a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking out at the city lights like he owned them all. Crisp shirt rolled up to his elbows, dark trousers, that perfect posture. He looked ridiculously

Back in Italy

Adrian’s POV “Hurry up already, Elena. We’re getting late.” I stood at the bottom of the staircase in my New York mansion, checking my watch again. The cars were waiting outside, engines running, and the private jet was scheduled to leave in less than two hours. But this woman was still upstairs, taking her sweet time like we weren’t flying across the ocean today. Her parents had called a few days ago. They missed her badly after two long years of only video calls. Elena hadn’t told them she was staying with me. She knew how much they hated me after that incident. I didn’t blame them. I had given them every reason to. Still, she wanted to surprise them by showing up in Italy, and I wasn’t letting her go alone. Not with the kind of enemies I had. “Elena!” I called again, voice sharper this time. “The plane won’t wait because you’re fixing your hair.” “Five more minutes!” she shouted back, sounding completely unbothered. I exhaled slowly and leaned against the railing. This g

A Day Without Him

Elena’s POVThe first full day back in my parents’ house felt both comforting and strangely foreign.I woke up in my old bedroom, sunlight filtering through the familiar lace curtains. The same bed, the same photos on the wall, the same faint smell of lavender from mom’s favorite detergent. For a moment it felt like the last two years had never happened. Then I remembered I wasn’t a teenager anymore, and the man I was slowly falling for again was somewhere out there doing God-knows-what in his dark world.I stretched and got out of bed, already missing the weight of Adrian’s arm around me from the nights we’d spent together in New York. Pathetic, really. One week of good mornings with him and I was already spoiled.Downstairs, the kitchen smelled like fresh coffee and buttery toast. Mom was at the stove flipping pancakes, and Dad sat at the table reading the newspaper like old times.“Morning,” I said, kissing mom on the cheek before sliding into my usual chair.Mom turned with a br

The Proposal Night

Elena’s POVThe morning started peacefully enough.I was in the kitchen helping Mom with breakfast when the doorbell rang. Dad went to answer it, and a few moments later he walked back in carrying a large, elegant black box with a silver ribbon. His face was already tight with suspicion.“This just arrived for you,” he said, placing the box on the table. “From him.”I knew exactly who “him” was.My heart gave a little jump as I untied the ribbon and lifted the lid. Inside lay the most beautiful evening gown I had ever seen — deep emerald green, silky fabric that shimmered under the light, with delicate lace details along the neckline and sleeves. Beneath it were matching heels, a small jewelry box, and a simple white card.I picked up the card first.Wear this tonight. Be ready at 8. I’ll pick you up.No questions. Just trust me.— AA short laugh escaped me. “Of course he’d say ‘no questions’.”Mom leaned over, eyes widening. “Oh, Elena… that dress is stunning.”Dad, however, didn’t

The Proposal Night (2)

Elena’s POV The ring felt heavy on my finger, but in the best possible way. We were still standing on that beautiful terrace, the lights of the hills twinkling below us. Adrian hadn’t let go of me since I said yes. His arms were wrapped around my waist, forehead resting against mine, like he was afraid I might disappear if he loosened his grip. I pulled back just enough to look at him properly. “You really planned all this? The dress, the dinner, the ring… without giving me even a hint?” A small, rare smile touched his lips. “I wanted it to be a surprise.” “You succeeded,” I muttered, glancing down at the sparkling diamond again. “I feel like I just stepped into one of those romantic movies I used to make fun of.” His hand came up to cup my cheek, thumb brushing slowly across my skin. “You said yes.” “I did.” I bit my lip, trying to keep my voice steady even though my heart was still racing. “Doesn’t mean I’m not going to make you work for it though.” Adrian’s eyes darkened w

The Ring on My Finger

Elena’s POVI stepped inside the house late the next evening, the emerald dress carefully folded in a bag and Adrian’s diamond ring sparkling brightly on my left hand.The lights in the living room were still on. Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch, clearly waiting for me. Mom looked curious and a little worried. Dad looked… well, like Dad — arms crossed, eyebrows already furrowed.“You’re late,” Dad said the moment I closed the door.“I know. Sorry.” I walked over, kissed Mom on the cheek, then gave Dad a quick hug before sitting down on the armchair across from them. “It was a long night… yesterday.”Mom leaned forward, eyes scanning my face. “So? What happened? Where did he take you? You look… different.”I couldn’t stop the small smile that tugged at my lips. I lifted my left hand slowly and let the ring catch the light.Mom gasped. “Elena… is that…?”Dad’s eyes narrowed instantly on the diamond. “What is that?”I took a deep breath. “Adrian proposed yesterday night.”Silence fi
