Stolen Glances

Sofia’s POV The next morning felt different. Not because anything had changed on the surface. The city was still the same, my office still stood tall and imposing as ever. The staff still moved around with the same urgency, the same discipline, the same quiet respect whenever I walked past. But something inside me had shifted. Something I couldn’t undo even if I wanted to. I stepped out of my car with my usual composed expression, my heels clicking softly against the marble floor as I walked into Esteban Global. Heads turned, greetings followed, and I responded with the same calm authority I always carried, but beneath it all, there was a quiet awareness lingering in the back of my mind. Matteo! Just the thought of his name was enough to make my chest tighten, and I had to caution myself before stepping into the elevator. The doors closed, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to exhale. Last night replayed in my head in flashes. The conversation, the tension,

Isabella’s Alliance

Lucia’s POV The private villa loomed before us, I followed my father’s car down the winding driveway, my pulse quickening with every turn. I had never felt anticipation quite like this, not even in the most daring of my plans. Tonight, we were stepping into territory that demanded complete ruthlessness. Inside, Isabella waited in the grand living room, her posture impeccable, her expression as cold and measured as a serpent ready to strike. She didn’t rise to greet us, didn’t bother with pleasantries, and it made me wonder if she's the same girl I knew desperate for attention. I can't tell what it is but her confidence was somehow intimidating. Her gaze flicked between my father and me with sharp precision, assessing, calculating. Her presence was heavy, suffocating, yet there was an undeniable magnetism in the way she carried herself, the kind that made it impossible to look away. “You should sit,” she commanded without preamble, her voice low and edged with authority. The

The sabotage

Sofia’s POVThe moment Sylvia walked into my office, I knew something was terribly wrong. It wasn’t just the look on her face, it was the way her steps faltered slightly as she approached me, like she wasn’t sure how to say what she had to say.My heart tightened immediately.“Ma’am…” her voice came out strained, and she clutched the tablet in her hands like it was the only thing holding her together. “There’s a situation in IT. They need you right now.” She spilled.I didn’t waste a second asking questions. I stood up instantly, my chair scraping slightly against the floor as I moved, and followed her out of the office. The walk down the corridor felt longer than usual, heavier, like something unseen was pressing down on my chest with every step I took.By the time we reached the IT department, I could already feel the tension in the air, the entire room was in chaos.Engineers moved frantically from one system to another, their voices overlapping, their faces tight with urgency.

Matteo’s investigation

Matteo’s POV I knew it the moment I saw the report. Something about it didn’t sit right with me, not just because my name was on it, or because my credentials were used. But because the entire thing felt too perfect. Like someone had taken their time to build a story that would be impossible to question. I sat in my office, staring at the digital logs displayed on the screen in front of me, my jaw clenched tightly as my mind worked through every possibility. My name, access, system, everything pointed directly at me just like the last time, and yet I knew, without a single doubt, that I had nothing to do with it. I leaned back slightly, running a hand through my hair as I exhaled slowly. “This is a another setup,” I muttered under my breath. There was no other explanation. And if someone had gone this far to frame me, then this was not just about the company anymore. This was about Sofia! That thought alone made something dark settle inside my chest, I didn’t waste time. Wi

The trap

Matteo’s POVI sat alone in my office long after everyone had left, the silence wrapping around me heavily. The city lights filtered in through the glass walls, casting faint reflections across my desk. Everything looked normal on the surface, but nothing felt the same anymore.I leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the laptop sitting in front of me. That same laptop Isabella had touched countless times.The same one she had used under the guise of loyalty while quietly destroying everything behind my back.My jaw tightened as her face flashed through my mind.I exhaled slowly and dragged my fingers through my hair, forcing myself to remain calm. Anger would not solve this. Rage would only make me careless, and I could not afford to make a mistake now.Not when I was this close. If Isabella thought she was clever, then she had clearly underestimated me.I leaned forward and opened the laptop, staring at the screen as a plan formed fully in my mind. If she wanted information so b

Confrontation

Matteo’s POVThe morning came with a strange kind of stillness, the kind that settled deep in my bones and refused to leave. I had not slept, not even for a second. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing over and over again. Isabella, standing in my office smiling, and betraying me again without hesitation.I stood by the window of the conference room, my hands tucked into my pockets as I stared out at the city below. Cars moved, people walked, and life continued as though nothing had happened.But for me, everything had shifted. I inhaled slowly, then exhaled, forcing my expression back into something calm, and controlled.There was no room for emotion now, not when this moment required absolute precision. A soft knock came from the door right on time.“Come in,” I said, my voice steady, almost detached.The door opened gently, and Isabella stepped in, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. She looked exactly the same as she always did, perfectly composed,

Isabella’s Arrest

Matteo’s POVThe moment I opened the door, the air in the corridor felt different, heavier, as though the entire building could sense what was about to happen. The two officers standing outside stepped forward immediately, their expressions firm and unreadable as they entered the conference room without hesitation.Behind me, Isabella’s sobs grew louder, more frantic, as reality finally settled in.“No… no, please… Matteo, please don’t do this. Please…” her voice trembled as she shook her head repeatedly, her entire body already giving in to panic.I stepped aside, creating space for the officers, my gaze fixed straight ahead. I refused to look at her again. I had seen enough.“Miss Isabella Romano, you are under arrest for corporate espionage, conspiracy to commit fraud, and conspiracy to attempted murder.” one of the officers began, his voice steady and authoritative as he approached her, and her sobs turned into broken gasps.“No… no, that’s not true… I didn’t…” she tried to speak

Isabella’s confession

Isabella’s POVThe cold room felt smaller than it actually was. I sat across the metal table, my hands resting in front of me as the cuffs pressed into my skin. My shoulders ached from the tension I had been carrying for hours, maybe days. I had lost track of time the moment those doors closed behind me.The fluorescent lights above flickered faintly, casting a harsh glow over everything. And the few days I had spent here made me realize there was no softness or comfort here. Just cold walls and colder reality.I could feel it settling in. This was real, and there was no waking up from this.My reflection stared back at me from the dark glass across the room, and for a moment, I didn’t recognize the woman sitting there. My mascara had run down my face, my eyes swollen from crying, my lips dry and trembling.I looked completely ruined.A door creaked open, and I flinched at the sound, my head snapping up instinctively. I looked up at the door with the last shred of hope left in me.Tw

Lucia’s Arrest

Lucia’s POVThe knock on my door came too early, loud and forceful. It shattered the silence of my penthouse like a gunshot, dragging me out of a restless sleep. I groaned softly, my head throbbing as I sat up slowly on the bed, the silk sheets slipping down my body as confusion clouded my thoughts.For a brief moment, I thought I was dreaming, but then the knock came again, harder and more aggressive this time. Whoever was at that door was not leaving anytime soon.My brows furrowed as irritation replaced my sleepiness, and I jumped out of bed, adjusting the thin silk robe wrapped around my body. My hair was a mess, my face bare, but I didn’t care. Whoever had the audacity to wake me up at this hour was going to regret it.I walked towards the door, already preparing the words I was going to use to tear into whoever stood at the door, but the moment I pulled the door open, everything changed.My eyes widened in shock, and I froze.Police!Not one, or two, but several of them, armed
