~2018~He threw the papers at me and I gasped in shock. "What is this?" I asked in surprise, adjusting the covers over my body."Divorce papers. Our deal is over."Alarm bells rang in my ears just then. Was he kidding? Hadn't we gone past this phase?"But-""But what? You thought you could rope me in by seducing me?""Seducing you?" I was still trying to understand what was going on. How did seduction come into the picture? One minute we were cuddled up in bed after having a good time and the next thing, he was saying this. It was unbelievable."Xander I thought we were getting along, what's wrong?" I asked him in the softest tone I could muster. Maybe he had hit his head somewhere, or he was probably just messing with me."I don't want to be with you anymore. We had a deal, I'm not in love with you so you should leave." He looked dead serious."What?" I said, trying to reach for his hand. He stepped back and never in my life have I felt so small after that moment when he gave me a l

Settling in was not much of a hassle. Malik had outdone himself with the apartment and Arya's room was one of a kind. He made it all so much easier. He was such a blessing. "Thank you so much. I love it here," I sighed as I plopped into my new comfy couch. "I love Arya's room too, you really outdid yourself on that one."He grinned, "I told you to leave it to me." "I'm glad I did." I smiled back. He pulled me up and held me in his arms and nuzzled my cheeks. I took a step back when I realized he was about to kiss me. "Malik..." I called out knowingly. We had talked about this."She's asleep." He pointed out, referring to my daughter."I know but she could wake up anytime soon.""She's three, she would not even understand what's going on." He insisted."Kids of these days?" I scoffed. "Don't be silly," I said and walked into the kitchen to see if I could whip up something for both of us."I already ordered. Thought you'd be too tired to cook." He announced as he followed me closely.

~A couple of hours earlier~"Baby?" I knocked on the bathroom door slightly."I'll be out in a minute." She yelled from inside."We're going to be late." I reminded her."I promise we won't."I sighed. Whenever she promised like that, I just knew it was a done deal. We were definitely going to be late.I rubbed my palms over my velvet tux jacket. There were no creases but out of habit, I did that a lot even as I flexed my muscles in front of the mirror. The way Tasha dragged me to these red carpet events these days was becoming alarming. Ever since we got engaged, it was from showing up at one event to the other. I was doing this to make her happy but at some point I was going to let her know that I was sick of it. Today it was some black tie event hosted by an old friend of hers and even when I asked her if it was necessary we attend, she said she just wanted to me to go with her everywhere because she needed to show off her man. I shook my head and wondered what it would be like

"You have a visitor ma'am."That was the first thing I heard the moment I walked into the office that morning."Who is it?" I asked."Um he's what we call a VIP client." Chloe said in an exaggerated whisper."Okay." I said and let her take Arya.I walked into my office and was met with the whiff of a very familiar cologne. I paused. No way. It couldn't be.He turned away from the floor to ceiling window and faced me. "Hello Olive," I stood there, frozen, nervous, entranced by the sight of him.Girl, snap out of it! I yelled in my head. My face held a composed smile as I said, "Mr Giovanni. What are you doing here?"He smirked, "Formal are we?"I said nothing to him as I walked over to my desk, watching as he in turn walked to the chair in front of me."Miss Moretti, you look amazing." He complimented me."I know." Came my clipped response.He chuckled. My heart lurched. I had not heard that deep dark chuckle in so long."It's been a while." He said."Yes it has. What are you doing

~2018~My hands were sweaty. I had rubbed them on the white satin dress I had on, over and over but no, they just got sweatier - the result of nervousness."Why am I doing this?" I asked myself as I looked into the mirror in front of me. This was such a bad idea. I should have run off when I had the chance but I was so lackadaisical about it and now the day was here. I reread his text, 'Don't show up or you'll regret it'. I gulped as my heart raced once again. His warning was clear but did I listen? No. I had promised his grandmother that I would go through with this just to make her happy. Now I was not sure if this was so much of a good idea. "Ready?""Yes." I sighed and took my brother's hand. I was so glad he flew in to walk me down the aisle. As the only family I had, it was heartwarming to see him come through on the one day I needed him the most. I was going to be in a room full of strangers, so it was comforting to have him here. "You look so beautiful." His smile was warm

The wedding reception went by in a whorl. There was eating, drinking, a little bit of dancing. All this was because we had a long table where everyone dined and wined. My greatest surprise was the fact that we had to leave as soon as dinner was over. I had no idea where we were going but my luggage was soon hoisted and taken into the vehicle that would lead us to God knows where.I hugged my brother and Nonna so tight as I waved at the others whom I barely knew as we left. Xander had been grumpy all day so it was in my best interest to avoid asking him questions. We boarded his private jet and according to the pilot we were heading for Los Angeles. That was when I remembered that he actually lived in America and not in Italy with his Nonna. So I was moving to another country entirely without any form of preparedness. I sure did a great job at being oblivious. I dozed off as soon as the plane ascended, only to wake up a couple of hours later and see him on his laptop, doing a video

~ 2018 ~The next day afternoon, I heard the doorbell ring. Out of habit, I got up to answer it although it had already been attended to before I made it downstairs. Still curious, I wanted to see who it was.There I saw this tall, slender and curvy brunette with luscious waves sitting in the living room. Her caramel skin shone against mine that looked so dull. I wondered what her skincare was. She was dressed to kill. If I wore those sort of heels, I would most probably twist my ankle after two steps."Hello, you must be Olive." She smiled at me. I could smell the fakeness of her smile from a mile away. It oozed.I responded with a clipped, "Hi. Who are you?"She smiled again, "I see Xander hasn't told you about me yet.""Nope." I enunciated."I'm Tasha, his girlfriend." She had a wry smile on as she said that."Xander has a girlfriend?" I asked, trying to connect the dots and know why I had to marry him if he had someone in his life already."Yes he does. You must be the new wife. I
