41--That same night--“You went too far, Alec!” Mona followed her husband into the living room, anger boiling within her.Alec didn’t turn around. He just walked straight to the bar car and poured himself a scotch, as if he needed the alcohol to deal with the storm his wife was about to unleash on him for something he was right about.Was he wrong for wanting the best for both his sons?“I said what needed to be said, Mona,” he replied flatly, taking a long drink from the crystal glass. “You’re just too soft with the boy,” he added when he pulled the glass away from his lips.“What needed to be said?” Mona’s voice rose. “You humiliated the boy, Alec. At what was supposed to be a nice family dinner with the Andramos.”“What was so wrong about what I said?” Alec kicked back the rest of the scotch then turned to face her, his expression hard as he placed the cup down. “The boy is twenty-four, dammit. All he does is gallivant round the country playing concer

“Mona, you’re being dramatic.” “Am I?” she laughed, but not the kind of laughter that came when you heard a funny joke. This…this was a bitter one that meant, she couldn’t believe the ludicrousness of her husband’s words. “Because it sounds to me like you’ve already decided which son gets the girl and which one gets cast aside. Like they’re products on a shelf.” Rosette's voice cut through, sharp and cold. “Louisa is not a prize to be won, Alec. She’s a person who can make her own choice, and so are your sons. Louisa will make her own choice when she’s ready.” “Of course she will,” Alec said quickly. “I’m not suggesting otherwise. I’m merely pointing out that one choice makes more sense than the other. For everyone involved.” “I’ll have to stop you there, Alec,” Nikolo said, his voice acid. “Since I agree that a marriage between our families would be beneficial, I won’t bargain my daughter's happiness.” “You people are twisting my wo

LOUISALast night was certainly a rollercoaster of events, and as usual, since I couldn’t sleep, I spent half of it talking to my stuffed pet, Monsieur.I barely made it through the first thirty minutes in Professor Aquila’s lecture on diplomatic negotiation, and if I weren’t so tired, I would have been ogling him from here. He was just thirty-two, but was already a Professor. Hot and smart.Okay, maybe I had a little energy in me to ogle the man.“Rough night?” Allya leaned over and whispered to me.I didn’t look at her. Just kept my eyes on my laptop screen where I’d typed exactly three words of notes: Multilateral trade agreements.That was twenty minutes ago.“I’m fine,” I whispered back to her as quietly as I could because Professor Aquila’s gaze kept sweeping across the lecture hall every once in a while. I quickly typed another word to at least give off the impression that I was physically present and paying attention, when I wasn’t actually. At t

LOUISA Salako was just a short drive to Silas’ office. Papa got me this Porsche for my twentieth birthday after I com,plained about not being a baby that needed to be driven around town. I was old enough to have my own ride.I’d just pulled into the underground parking lot when my phone buzzed again. But it wasn’t Silas.‘Sorry about last night, Lis.’- Kyler.I didn’t realize I was smiling at my screen until the phone buzzed in my hand again. ‘I know you don’t like it when I fight with Silas…’ I stared at the screen again, suddenly all that pent-up anxiety was starting to leave my body, but I still had a lot of conflicted emotions. One, I was glad to hear from him, and two, I was still feeling guilty for not standing up for him last night.I brought my thumb to my lips again and started chewing on my nail. There goes my topcoat.‘Are you okay?’ I finally typed back, because that was the most important question right now. I had a feeling I knew wher

“Hello to you too…” I grinned, biting my lip to hide the giddy laugh bubbling on my lips.Silas’s thumb brushed across my bottom lip, which felt sensitive to the touch, as he gently tugged it from my teeth. “Don’t hide that smile from me, Princess.”, he murmured, his voice low and rough in a way that made my stomach flip. He looked like he walked out of the business section of a fashion catalogue. Three-piece suit with a striped vest on. His silver hair was still styled in place, and his glasses looked crooked, probably because he smashed his lips into mine.“Bossy much?” I teased, though my voice came out breathier than I wanted it.“You have no idea.” he leaned in to steal another kiss as his eyes studied my face closely before landing on my lips. “Strawberry?”“Peach.”, I smirked and he nodded. He stepped back, finally releasing me, and I immediately missed the warmth of his hands. My wrist tingled where he’d grabbed me.“Sorry,” he apologized with a

“It’s not my fault you’re always so busy with work.” I missed when we used to just hang out and be stupid teenagers. Now, Silas was an important businessman with lots of business responsibilities. And Kyler had his music…and I had…a marriage alliance to look forward to…Wait…did I even want to get married now?Without realizing it, my brows knitted together as I fought the urge to chew on my nails. I really needed to work on this habit.“What’s the matter, princess?” Silas’s voice cut through my thoughts and I turned to look at him. His eyes were focused on the road, but I could still feel his gaze on me. I brushed off my thoughts with a laugh as I leaned my head back against the seat.“It’s nothing, just thinking.” I shrugged.“You and the word thinking, being used in the same sentence scares me.” he joked and I rolled my eyes. “Ugh, you jerk.”“Hah. Just kidding. So, what are you thinking about, hm?”I contemplated telling him what was on my mind, but then again, I didn’t want to

47 Silas was right, it’s been a while since we hung out like this. Just enjoying each other’s company like when we were back in high school. But, as fun as it was, we had to call it a day. He had work and…I, apparently have the rest of the day off since our Professor’s wife went into labour. We were still laughing about something stupid when we stepped out of Bruno’s into the warm afternoon sun. I stretched with a loud yawn, my tummy pleasantly full from both the food and the good company. “Wanna hold my hands?” Silas said as he held out his hand to me, and I gave his outstretched hand a sideways glance, then back to his face to see if he was serious. He was. “What are we? Five?” I scoffed. But he still held out his hand to me with a patient smile on his handsome face. “I know you want to, just--” “Lou?” Lou? I froze mid-step, my brows knitting together at the familiar nickname. The only one who ever ca

I felt bad about sending Silas away. But, as I said, I wasn’t that same little girl who needed to be protected all the time. Even though I appreciated how much he cared.When I turned back to Ace, he was looking at me with an unreadable expression. And I frowned, crossing my arms over my chest.“Well?”“So,” he started. “You guys dating now?”And just like that, whatever nervousness I felt was replaced with annoyance and a smidgen of irritation.“What do you want, Ace?” Maybe this was a bad idea.Ace cleared his throat, then scratched the back of his neck. Shifting his weight between each leg like he was no more uncomfortable than I was. “I just.. wanted to talk. You know, we didn’t really get to the other night.”“Because there was nothing to talk about?” I eyed him. Still trying to reconcile the man before me now, with the same man from three years ago. “Besides, we---you, broke up with me. Over text.” I deadpanned.“I know. I just--” He ran a

“What the fuck man?! I didn’t even touch her--”“I don’t want to see your face around here ever again,”Silas said, his voice deadly calm even though his chest was heaving and his knuckles turning red.Ace spit blood onto the pavement, his eyes wild. “What? You think because you people got money you can look down on me? Screw you, Konstantino.”“You had money too,” Silas said, pulling me to his side., “You wasted it on partying and women. You had your chance to walk away, but you grabbed her. So now you get to leave with a broken jaw instead.’“You’re both fucking crazy,” Ace snarled, backing towards his car. “She’s not even worth this. Trust me man.”Silas moved forward fast, and I had to hold him back, both hands on his chest. I never realised just how trully strong Silas was. It took everything I had to just stop him from taking one more step forward. Even then, I think a part of his just realized he would have throttled me to the ground if he didn’t stop hims

SILASEven after she left, I still stood in the underground parking garage.My hand throbbed--a dull, insistent ache that radiated from my knuckles up through my wrist. I brought my hand up and then flexed my fingers. It hurt, but it was a small price to pay if it meant I got to punish whoever made Louisa cry. Or even tried to touch her.My eyes moved past my bruised knuckle to the Rolex strapped to my wrist. It was 4:00PM. A long way from closing time. I was supposed to be in a meeting with contractors in thirty minutes. But did I really have the strength to sit through one of those right now?I pulled out my phone and dialed Marcus, my assistant.“Mr. Konstantinos,” he answered on the first ring. As if he were already expecting it to be me. “I was just about to head to the conference room to set up--“Cancel it,” I said, already walking towards my car.“Sir? But--”“Did I stutter, Marcus?”“No sir.”Rescheduled it. Tomorrow if possible. I’m
