LEO... I woke up in the late afternoon. Couldn't sleep the entire night thinking about the ridiculous shit I did in the club. I fucking kissed her! Her soft lips felt like cotton candy, and her soft berry scent was delicious... Since the day I met her, I wanted to kiss her and finally, I did, but... Now I want more even though it happened at a crucial moment, I couldn't stop thinking the feeling of her! That woman was insanely climbing all over my thoughts! After that kissing incident, I kept myself shut to not do something more crazy. Though I don't know how long I could maintain this peace. Every time I think of her, my imagination runs wild and the effect is clear under my trousers! Sigh... Sitting on the bed, I looked around. Lily was nowhere to be seen. Wait... Where is she? It's Sunday today and she's still out for work? Such a pathetic life of a reporter! That woman really does not care about her safety, does she? What if she faces sort of the same troubles? I'm not beside
LILY... I yawned, stretching my hands and fluttered my eyes open. The narrow ray of light was entering through the little window of my room. I smiled. It's a good and very free morning of my life. I couldn't help the grin broke on my lips... So refreshing to think that I kicked out a huge toxicity of my life! Sooo Good! Fluttering my eyes again, I looked at the small window. But, why does it feel so close this morning? I mean, sleeping on the couch, this window is a bit away from me, isn't it? Or, was I wrong? As if to answer my question, something firm wrapped around my waist, making me confused as well as alert... "Good Morning..." A deep husky tone muttered beside my ear. Fuck! I immediately jumped out of bed only to fall on my butt "AaGh!" I cried out and looked at the intruder only to gasp in agony, "Leo!" His bluish-green gaze was on me, frowning. "What stunt are you playing this morning?" He asked in a groggy voice, turning me dumbfounded. "I am playing!?" I barked at h
LILY... "He has been stabbed over 15 times. The killer might hate him so much. His neighbour felt something was wrong and went to check. Sigh... The poor woman must be in trauma after the scene." Max said. "Umm... Anything else?" I asked, Sitting in the opposite of his desk. "I mean, who could be the killer? Any hint?" Max shook his head. "Not yet." He looked around before lowering his tone, "And you must not be too curious about this matter. He was involved in the politician murder case and now this happened. It's dangerous, Lily." Closing my notebook, I chuckled. "Are you seeing me after danger the first time?" He sighed, narrowing his eyes, "Better my name is not connected to this case. Inspector Brian was my senior and this is morally a crime for me to share any inside news with you. But..." He let out a helpless huff. "What could I do? You're a friend I couldn't deny." "You're an amazing friend both personally and professionally." I stood up. "I'll leave now." "Hmm, don't

Victoria's POVOh no, no, no! Shit! I glanced at my wristwatch and then at the lengthy line of traffic in front of the signal ahead. It seemed the whole of New York was at a standstill.“Sir, can you tell me how long it will take?” I asked the driver.The man shook his head. “I don’t know, madame. It seems it will take a long time,” he replied in a thick French accent.Fuck! Why is it always me facing such tragedies? I needed to reach the birthday celebration before 6 p.m., and it was 5:50.Oh lord! I had no choice. After paying the cab’s fare, I took a deep breath, quickly exited the taxi, and rushed down the street. I loved my husband so much and would do anything for him, including rush like mad, so I wouldn’t be late for his grandmother’s seventieth birthday.My husband and I had been living together for three years, and I had been suppressing my personality just to be with him. But I took a pregnancy test the week before and was expecting a baby! I couldn’t wait to tell him the go
I’dhad enough. I pulled my arm from Gina’s grip and ran out of the hotel to headback to the mansion. And for once, I didn’t look back. ThoughI had been married to Alessandro for three years, I’d never felt like a part ofthe Devonte family. Meanwhile, I had left my family and even changed my surnameto be a simple girl for Alessandro. In turn, he never cared nor stood up for mewhen his family members disrespected and insulted me, when they referred to me asa nobody and called me names. Throughit all, I never revealed my real identity because I didn’t want to gain Alessandro’slove just because my last name was Edwards, just because I was heiress to theE. Shine Jewelers fortune, one of the most famous designed brands in the world.No, I wanted him to love me for me. SoI never complained. Instead, I let my tears fall silently, always hopingAlessandro would one day change and accept me as his wife. Yet he neverappreciated me.Itried to be everything to him, too. But it seem
Victoria’sPOVWiththe beeping sounds of sensors in my ears, my eyes opened. I looked around, feelingdisoriented. Then I saw my brother, Antonio, sitting on the couch next to me. “A–Antonio...”Herushed to me. “Victoria, are you all right? Let me call for the doctor.”Ashort while later, Antonio let out a breath of relief as the doctor announced mypregnancy and said I wasn’t in danger.“Areyou going to continue to suffer with that family?” he asked, shaking his head.“Why don’t you come home with me this time? I’ve missed you, sister.”TearsI’d held for three years flowed as I nodded with sorrow and guilt. “I’m sorry Iwas too willful before. B–but how did you find me?”“Someonesent me a message and told me you were in trouble in Devonte’s place,” Antonioanswered. “I knew how Alessandro’s family treated you. I rushed to the mansion.I should have never let you stay with them. But now, I can take revenge for youand help you raise your child.”Ishook my head. “Please don’t le
ALESSANDROPOVAnalarm rang annoyingly beside my head, and I angrily slammed the buzzer. Due toa disciplined life since childhood, I’d always been an early riser. So the hournor the alarm would typically bother me. But I’d spent the night tossing andturning, thinking about Victoria. I’d only slept an hour, two tops. Why I can’t stop thinkingabout her? I shook my head in frustration. Rubbing my face, I steppedout of bed and went to my closet to get my things for the office. There I wasconfronted with another reminder as Victoria’s colorful clothes hung as ifmocking me. Though she was an introvert, she had an unpredictable personalityand loved vibrant clothes and makeup. Still, she always presented herself asladylike.Ishook my head again, frustrated that I still couldn’t get her out of my mind. Witha sigh, I focused on my side of the closet. Everything remained the same asalways, except there was no ready for me—one of the maid’s tasks. I frowned at heroversight. Maybe i
