Christopher Morris.I was in his arms. His to hold. His to kiss. His to look at. It felt as if my life before him was perfect. Nothing had happened and he was my first."You're beautiful, Aella," I smiled as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear."Why did you believe that it was me?""When you want something so bad, you start to hope everything is similar." I smiled."You-""Mr Morris?" The door opened, I got up, gave a hand to Chris to get up and stood by the table as Mariana waltzed in. "It's very urgent," Chris rolled his eyes."What?""A man walked in and demanded to speak to you," he chuckled."Meetings are scheduled.""He had two men beside him.""So?""With guns," Chris rolled his eyes again. Something in me thought of the possibility of that man being Archer or one of his minions."Where is he?""Right behind the door," he nodded."Name," she looked down on the binder she held in her hands."Archer Bowman," I stilled. Chris looked at me and back at her."Move it to later,"

"It'll be weird to live in the same place since we're dating," he smiled and took a bite of his pizza. Chris took me to one of his favourite pizza places in the world, not too far from his office, and ordered us a giant pizza with pepperoni.Safe to say, I loved it."I think it'll be fun. Since we can see each other whenever," he winked at me, making me smile as I took my last bite."Who was the girl that came down yesterday?" He looked at me smiling."Still jealous about that?" I rolled my eyes. "I told you, I didn't fuck her.""Then what the hell was she doing there?" He took a sip of his wine."One of my escorts," I nodded."I figured. So you wanted to fuck her?""Maybe," I wasn't mad that he wanted that. We weren't together. He had all the rights. But it made me uncomfortable. Maybe slightly irritated on the inside since I wished to be her. "I didn't do it because she wasn't someone I wanted apparently.""So why did she stay?""She was eager to do it but after I refused, she said

I woke up, trying to get out of Chris's grip. There was no way. I gently took one of his hands off me, trying to peel my body off him. His grip only tightened."No, you're staying," I gave up, tilting my head to the side, where his alarm clock was placed. My eyes widened."Chris, It's ten in the morning!" I tried moving out of the bed."So fucking what?" I rolled my eyes."Christopher Morris, I swear to god, let me go!" he chuckled before letting me go. I got out of bed, putting my slippers on, and headed to his bathroom. I felt as if I had been living here for years."I'm your boss if you forgot," I smiled to myself as I sat on the toilet. "I can tell you when to go and not.""I know, but no one knows about us and it looks strange," I heard him chuckle."Angel, just get back to bed. I'll tell Mathew you didn't feel well," I stood up, flushing the toilet before I went towards the sink to wash my hands."How on Earth would you know what happened to me if we're co-workers?""We're datin

A few days laterI lifted my weights in my gym. The pain settled in but faded after I set them down. I grabbed my water bottle, taking two big gulps and swallowing it all. I set the bottle down and got down on the floor to do push-ups. Believe it or not, my favourite part of exercising.I looked in the mirror in front of me as I did them, catching a beautiful girl further behind me. Aella wore a black, satin robe, hiding her perfect body, and leaned against the doorframe. Her eyes were set on my naked back. I smiled and stood up, walking towards her."Thought you were sleeping," I said as I leaned down, brushing my lips against hers. I grabbed her by her ass, lifting her to me. Her legs wrapped around my waist, one hand holding onto me by my neck and the other, threaded in my hair.The past few days, we spent mostly in the apartment, talking, kissing and staring into each other's eyes. She was eager to cook breakfast and I was eager to take her out for lunch and make dinner. I wanted

After trying on two more dresses: a black, satin gown with straps and a black, sequence gown with a deep v cut, a low back and straps, I began putting on the last one.I liked the black, satin one. It really brought out my waist and the back was gorgeous. Chris's thoughts were similar. "You look hot as hell in that one," he said about that one, and "fuck, that is very low cut, but wow, angel, your body is... you're incredible," about the other one.Long story short: he wasn't the one to count on for opinions. However, I liked the praise and compliments. He made me feel special.I put on a stunning, rose gold, tight-fitting, sequence dress, with a criss-cross front, a low cut, as well as a high slit in the front.I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't believe it was me. I've always liked my body. He didn't.Aella, forget him. He's not here. Chris is.I took a deep breath, turning around and looking back to see my back. I loved it. I looked pretty. I actually admired my body for

I stilled. Unable to move. I gripped Chris's hand as hard as I could. He held it."Bowman," Chris greeted. "What an unpleasant surprise," Archer chuckled."I think I might need to borrow you for a second," Nico said and moved around me to Archer. "I'll be right back, Chris," I kept my gaze on Mario's jacket. Still unable to move."They're gone, angel," I looked over at him and nodded. Thanks to Nico, he was gone for at least a moment."What's her name here?" Mario asked."I'm Ella Caddel," he nodded."Chris, can I borrow her for a second?""Can you tell her whatever you need with me here?" He shook his head.Why did he want me?"Figlio, I promise I'll give her back to you," I looked over at Chris."Bene, five minutes. No more," Mario smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder. Chris let go of my hand before I walked away with Mario."I'm guessing you don't really know who I am," he led me into a small balcony that was accessible from the main ballroom.I almost gasped at the view.

We sat on the bench for some time. Barely talking and just being together. I knew that she was legally married. I knew it. And there was not much I could do right now to snatch her away from him forever.I overheard Mario and Aella's conversation. I specifically didn't want him to tell her everything. What happened three years after Paris, was going to be revealed to her by no one other than me. Well... maybe Delilah too."He's in there," she broke off the silence. "Nico helped out," I nodded. Nico took the hint and took Archer out of our view. He was seated five tables away from us and I was glad.Nico was quite literally like my brother. We grew up together. We shared a lot of memories together. And we had an agreement when it came to situations like the previous one.Help each other out in any way possible.I had many of Nico's and my men around the mansion, looking for anything suspicious involving Archer."Maybe we should leave," she lifted her head from my shoulder and looked at

I sat on the stool, waiting for Aella to come back. What happened at the ball will be kept away from my girl for some time.I was an atom away from killing him.Cazzo di merda! I could've killed him.Cazzo ti, Niccolò.The sound of Mathew yelling on the phone disturbed my memories of the fight. I turned around, noticing Delilah stitching up Nico's wounds and Nico, looking through the TV programs, completely unbothered by the stitching.I saw Mathew pacing around, trying to sort out legal issues after tonight. I rubbed my jaw and winced from the pain in my chest.I've gone through much worse pain in my life, that this would seem like a paper cut. But it hurt. Bad.I looked at the clock on the wall, seeing that Aella had been gone for longer than five minutes. I stood up and headed towards the stairs."Fratello, c'è-" [Brother, there's-]"Questo può aspettare," [This can wait,] I walked past him, heading towards my bedroom. I opened the door and saw a man in front of Aella, holding a gu
