Enzo Romano POVI ran out of the restaurant and into the street like the ground was on fire under my feet. The night air was cold. It slapped my face hard. I searched for her with wild eyes, catching every shadow, every small move. I did not care if fans saw me like this. I did not care if someone took a picture. I only cared about one thing. Finding her.I walked for almost five minutes, calling her name with a broken voice that kept getting stuck in my throat. When I felt eyes turning toward me, I pulled a mask over my face. Soft whispers. Slower footsteps behind me.“Damn it… where are you, Celine?” I muttered under my breath. My voice came out rough and torn, like an invisible hand was squeezing my chest.The streets were almost empty because it was late. Neon lights flickered and reflected on the wet asphalt. The wind whistled between the tall buildings. The silence should have helped me focus. Instead, it made the fear louder.I closed my eyes and leaned against a wall. My heart

Celine POVEnzo Romano lay down beside me on the bed. The sheets felt cold between us, keeping a careful space. We covered our tired bodies. I turned on my side and gave him my back. I heard his soft, bitter sigh. It carried a sad smile, like he wanted so badly to pull me into his arms and make me sleep against his chest.I curled my fist under the pillow. He shook his head and turned too, giving me his back. After a long, exhausting day, he drifted off fast."No… please! Stay away… I’m begging you… don’t touch me, please!"The scream tore out of my shaking chest. Even though he sleeps like a rock, my desperate voice woke him up at once.My body twisted like I was fighting death itself. Cold sweat covered my skin and soaked into my clothes, smelling like pure fear. Enzo froze for a second as he watched me. Then he moved quickly. He slid closer until he was right behind me. Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me tight against him, burying me in his warmth. I felt

Celine POVWe arrived at the hotel. Enzo Romano handed the keys to the staff member at the door. It was twelve midnight.Tomorrow would be a very busy day. Filming, training, and a lot of other plans.We walked through the hallway between the rooms, and what surprised me was Enzo Romano walking with me all the way to my room door."So... good night?" I asked, looking at him in confusion. He stared into my eyes with a strange side smile."I wanted to talk to you for a bit," he said quietly, biting his lip."Okay..." I said as I opened the door and stepped inside. He followed me in.I closed the door, and he stayed frozen in his place."What do you want to talk about?" I asked, staring at him.He said nothing. He suddenly pushed me against the wall and crashed his lips onto mine. His hands grabbed both of my wrists and pinned them above my head as he kissed me with raw hunger and need.At first, I was shocked. My eyes went wide at his bold reaction. So this was what he wanted to talk ab

Seline Montgomery POVThe biting cold crept through my coat, but it wasn’t as cold as the tone that sliced through my ears. "Is your journey with Enzo over? Now you’re trying to get rid of his love."Those were Michael’s words, his hands shoved into his pants pockets, the air around him freezing my lungs with the sharpness of his stance.I remembered our last encounter. I was in a position I couldn’t envy; my heart pounded against my ribs. I stayed silent, and then Michael moved suddenly. He stood right in front of me, his scent of fine tobacco wrapping around me, shaking my body with his deep, commanding voice: "You found your father’s assistant, didn’t you, Seline?"I sighed and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to catch my ragged breath. Michael already knew about Manteo! Electricity coursed through my numb fingers as he continued, his voice sharp and cutting: "Were you coming close to me because you doubted me? You sly little thing."A trembling, faint smile curved my lips. I took a s

Celine Montgomery POVI woke up to a rough texture wrapped around my palm. A familiar heat spread through my cold skin. I opened my eyes slowly to the faint light peeking through the silk curtains. He was there. Michael. I felt my tears carving a bitter path down my cheeks. I could taste the salt in the back of my throat. My mind was a messy maze where words just got lost.My hand jerked in his grip as a choked sob tore through my chest. My whole body Shook. Michael looked up at me. His voice was soft and full of kindness as it flowed over me."Are you awake, Celine?"My voice came from deep inside me, broken by a cry that rocked my soul. I whispered to him."Yes, Michael. I don't remember anything. What happened?"He moved closer. He used his thumb to wipe away a stubborn tear that fell onto my pillow. He spoke quietly."It is nothing, my little pup. You just got tired, and I brought you here."Fire suddenly exploded in my brain. The image of that man started haunting me. I gripped t
