The Unexpected Encounter

“What do you want?” Marcello asked coldly, his hand still resting on the open car door.“Get in the front. I’m not your personal chauffeur,” Sam muttered, his patience wearing thin.“Hmm. All right.” Marcello pretended to think it over, clearly enjoying the chance to provoke him. He closed the door and headed for the front seat.Once they were both settled in, Sam pulled away, accelerating hard as he gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He tried to keep his irritation from showing, but he was clearly failing.Having Marcello tag along on what was supposed to be a private evening with his girlfriend was already getting on his nerves.But what truly bothered him was the growing suspicion that Marcello might be far more important in Monica’s life than a mere bodyguard should be. He couldn’t shake this feeling, and he could only hope it was all in his head.Monica grabbed the door handle to steady herself. “Sam, slow down a little.”“Put your seat belt on,

He swallowed nervously before turning his attention back to his colleague. Forcing a smile, he tried to appear as casual as possible. Fortunately, Monica’s table was far enough away from his that she wouldn’t be able to overhear their conversation.“Emanuele!” he greeted him, getting to his feet and offering his hand. “What a coincidence!”“A good one or a bad one?” Emanuele teased, a grin spreading across his face.“Definitely a good one.”Without waiting to be invited, Emanuele pulled out the chair opposite him and took a seat. Meanwhile, Marcello remained standing for a moment, inwardly cursing his luck.“What’s with you, man? Why are you still standing? Or don’t you want me sitting with you?” Emanuele said.“Of course I do. What are you talking about?” Marcello replied quickly.His gaze instinctively drifted back to Monica, and, much to his dismay, she was still watching him with the sharp, unwavering eyes of a hawk.He couldn’t figure out what had suddenly sparked her curiosity,

Your Sharp Tongue Is Back

By eight-thirty that evening, Monica was pacing restlessly around her room, calling Sam yet again.He had promised to be at the mansion by eight, just as they had agreed, but he still hadn’t shown up. She was calling him for the fifth time now, and he still wasn’t answering.With an impatient sigh, she walked over to her vanity and took one last look at herself in the mirror before picking up her handbag and heading downstairs. As she reached the sitting area, she spotted Rosa nearby.“Rosa, have you seen my mother?” she asked as she approached the maid.“She’s outside, ma’am.”“Do you know where she went?”“No, ma’am. I don’t.”“Alright.”Rosa gave her a respectful nod and returned to her duties.Monica walked over to one of the armchairs and took a seat, then pulled her phone from her handbag and called Sam again. This time, however, his phone was turned off.She slowly lowered it from her ear and stared at it in disbelief, only one question running through her mind.Had he turned o

A strained smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he said nothing. What could he possibly tell her? Could he really admit the truth, that he had done it only to make Sam jealous? Could he confess that, from this moment on, he intended to do everything he could to tear her relationship with Sam apart?He wanted Sam to start suspecting that there was something between him and Monica, something deep and undeniable, something he would never be able to erase from Monica’s heart, no matter how hard he tried.He wanted him to realize that his place in Monica’s heart was slowly disappearing, and that he was the one replacing him.He wanted him to suspect that he and Monica were having an affair.As much as Marcello knew how wrong and malicious his intentions were, he couldn’t see any other way. Monica clearly had no intention of leaving Sam, despite what she felt for Marcello. And it was just as clear to him that she cared far too much about Sam’s feelings, even at the expense of her o

“I still can’t believe I’m sitting in the back row,” Monica muttered as she settled into the seat beside Marcello. She turned to him with an annoyed look. “This is all your fault.”He turned toward her, their eyes meeting. “Oh, God. You really are sticking to that, aren't you?” he said, a faint, teasing smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Though I’m just as determined not to argue with you. There’s no point when all it does is drain my energy.”She gave him a sarcastic pout before looking straight ahead once more. Reaching into the box in her lap, she picked up a kernel of popcorn and popped it into her mouth.“The popcorn here is actually good. Why didn’t you get a box?”“I’m not much of a fan. Besides, I usually don’t eat anything past seven.”“To stay healthy or to keep your weight in check?”“Both.”“That’s so boring. Eating is one of the best pleasures in life. How can you deprive yourself like that?”He raised his eyebrows, genuinely amused. “That’s unexpected. I didn’t th
