Chapter 1

Zara’s P.O.VThe car didn’t pull up to the entrance I’d seen online.Yes, I research this place up, the second Rosa talked about it. And I was impressed.That was the first sign that my expectations were about to be thrown out the window.Instead of neon lights and a restless crowd, we turned into a narrow side street where the music was only a distant pulse, like a heartbeat behind stone walls. The driver stopped beside an unmarked black door, guarded by two men who looked less like bouncers and more like soldiers.My fingers tightened around my clutch.Rosa stepped out first, perfectly calm, perfectly amused. “Welcome to Italy.” She said, smiling as if this were the most normal thing in the world.I followed her, my heels echoing softly against the cobblestones. Something about the silence made my skin prickle. No shouting. No laughter spilling into the street. One of the men looked us over once, his gaze sharp and unreadable. No questions. No hesitation. He nodded and pulled the d

Chapter 2

Zara POVI grabbed onto his suit, and then his neck, while one of his hand pulling my waist closer to his chiseled strong chest. The other hand, which was on my cheek, descended making a small journey down my neck,His lips locked on mine, in an aggressive manner. My legs were open, his knee pressing right between them, my hand went to his belt buckle to play with.“You’re playing with fire, Zara.”“Maybe I want to be burn, daddy.” His eyes flashed and then I’m being yanked, his hands guiding my legs to lock around his waist. My arms naturally moved to rest on his shoulders for balance, as he carried me to the bed. He dropped me onto the bed, my hair splaying out.“Tell me to stop if you don’t want this, now.” He said, “I do.” As soon as the word leaves my mouth, my cheeks burn with embarrassment. But I’m too horny and drunk to resist this hotness personified.I’m practically on fire at point, to care much.And that was all he needs.I’m unprepared when he grabs the backs of my c

Chapter 3

Zara’s POVI stood there for a long moment, too stunned at his statement to react. Did he just think of me as some random hooks?I was glaring at the room like it had personally betrayed me,the bed was a mess, sheets were twisted and pillows were off the bed. The faint smell of heat and sex lingering in the air, an evidence of myself betrayal.That I had lost control and let some random dude, I didn’t even know his name touch me. I bent down and grabbed my panties from the floor, where it was discarded. Yanking it up my thighs with more force than necessary.My hands trembled with fury as I adjust my dress down my thighs, I reached for my heels, shoved my feet into them without sitting down. I was seconds away from screaming bloody murderer.My gaze locked on the nightstand, I wish it didn’t. The drawer was still open, and the cash he talked about was sitting pretty inside.My chest tightened with more annoyance.“Great, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” I hissed.The sight of t

Chapter 4

Zara’s POV The sharp sound of my phone cut through my sleep, I jerked awake, and sat upright.Headache hit me instantly, very sharp like something had split my skull open from the inside. I groan and press two fingers at each side of my head, squeezing my eyes shut as the room spin slightly as if that would stop the headache.God.My phone kept ringing, I fumbled for it, squinting at the screen through half-open eyes.Mum.I sighed and swiped to answer, clearing my voice to sound awake. “Hi, mom.” I greeted.“Zara!” Her voice came through bright and cheerful, far too energetic for the state I was in. “Did I wake you up?”“No, I was up already.” I lied.“How are you settling in? Italy treating you well?” She laughed softly.“Yeah. It’s… nice. I’m settling in just fine.” I said, leaning my back against the headboard, rubbing my temples.“That’s lovely to hear, darling.” I can hear the relief in her voice. “And Matteo? Is he treating you well?” She asked casually.My stomach tightened j

Chapter 5

Zara POV My breath caught so suddenly it felt like my lungs forgot what they were made to do.There he stood in the kitchen doorway like the space was made for him. He stood tall, broad shoulders that tempts you to lay your head on it, his sharp jaw set in a way that didn’t invite conversation. His eyes…God!Hot chocolate brown zoning out cold steams, calculating. And when they lands on someone, like they are on Rosa, they measure, observe and dismissed you like a trash.My stomach dropped, fingers tightened around the mug in my hands.It was him.The man from the club.The stranger whose touch I could still feel on my skin, the man who had made me feel wanted and then disposable all in one night.The realization sent heat rushing through me, accompanied immediately by humiliation and anger so sharp it made my chest ache.He hadn’t seen me yet.His attention was solely on Rosa, hard.“Rosa,” he said calmly, but there was no affection in his tone whatsoever. “What are you still doin

Chapter 6

Zara’s POV I didn’t know how long I sat here, frozen. I couldn’t move, my brain find it hard to process what I have done.How he didn’t react, not even a flicker in his eyes. His expression was completely blank just like when he first walked in, no shock, anger or confusion. Hell! Not even recognition.And next thing, he turned and walked away, again making feel foolish and disposable.I stood there, my fingers tightly curled into my palms, my chest was too tight and too hollow at the same time.My cheeks burns embarrassment first, hot and sharp. Then confusion, I had expected him to react at least half of how I did.Shame, slowly and quietly sinking into my bones. I felt guilty in a way I didn’t how to name. I felt guilty toward Rosa, I had unknowingly had sex with her man.But more guilty towards myself, the fact that I had let myself fall into a stranger’s arms so easily.If I hadn’t gone to that club. If I hadn’t let the mask make me reckless enough to sleep with a stranger….I w

Chapter 7

Zara’s POV I opened my eyes this morning feeling light, and ready to start a fresh start. Today is my first day at my new campus in Italy.The clock on the wall shows that it’s still early in the morning, but it’s a perfect time for me to do my routine.I rolled out of bed, and went about my routine, taking my time. I’m not rushing, doing a little girl therapy as I get dressed. I played soft music and did my skin care routine.After I finished dressing up, I headed downstairs to the kitchen to make my morning hot chocolate drink and have breakfast. But the sight in front of me made me stop on track.Matteo sat at the dining table, already dressed in a tailored black suit, crisp and sharp, like he’d stepped straight out of a boardroom. His hair was slightly damp, slicked back neatly like a typical billionaire CEO.He looked devastating attractive.For a split second, I wondered if he had sensed my presence, so I turned and walked away. I don’t want to be in the same space as him right

Chapter 8

Zara’s POVThe hallway smelled like polished marble and something, expensive, and new.My shoes echoed softly against the floor as I followed the middle-aged woman assigned to take me to my lecture hall.She walked ahead of me with the ease of someone who belonged here, heels clicking in steady rhythm, posture straight, shoulders squared.I, on the other hand, felt like a visitor in someone else’s world.My outfit sat perfectly on my body, tailored, crisp, and surprisingly modest but it wasn’t their kind of perfect. I could feel it in the way a few passing students glanced at me and then looked away too quickly, or worse, looked again.The skirt fell a little below my knees, the blazer buttoned properly instead of hanging open, my shirt neatly tucked in. No rolled hems. No loosened ties. No rebellious flair.I suddenly felt overdressed and underprepared all at once.“They’re about to begin, I’ll advise you go in quickly,” the woman said, stopping in front of a tall wooden door with a

Chapter 9

Matteo’s POVThe study remained quiet just like I always liked it to be growing up. Heavy curtains muted the afternoon light, turning the room into a controlled twilight.Dark wood lined the walls, shelves upon shelves of carefully curated volumes, some older than the city itself. The desk before me was spotless except for the files laid open, their contents neat, organized, and almost too damning.Numbers. Names. Routes. Order. I preferred the order.I sat back in my chair, eyes scanning the page without really seeing it. The reports were familiar, too familiar. I could recite the contents from memory if I wanted to. But my mind refused to stay anchored.It had been doing that a lot lately and I didn’t understand why.The faint sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway outside the study. Headed my way. Too fast for the servants, too careless for anyone who actually understood this house.Regardless, I didn’t look up. The door opened without a knock and I didn’t even move. I didn’t nee

Chapter 10

Zara’s POVThe car door opened before I could even change my mind and I just stood there for a brief moment, staring at the black interior like it was a mouth waiting to swallow me whole.Matteo was already inside, seated comfortably, one arm resting against the door, his perfectly tailored suit suddenly catching my attention.Tall, broad shoulders, with a sharp jaw and presence that makes people step back without thinking. And for some damn reason, his eyes hold this coldness that seems to make women lose in them, but totally not me though. And his hair, slightly messy. But tonight it looked a lot different.He didn’t look at me. Didn’t rush me. Didn’t say a word either. That somehow made it worse.I climbed in anyway, smoothing my dress beneath me as the door shut with finality in the air. The car pulled away almost immediately, tires gliding over gravel like this wasn’t the most inconvenient, infuriating situation of my life.Moving to Italy, sleeping with a stranger turns Stepbrot
