◆ MILES ◆A year earlierIt would take the uninvited prick another minute before he could reach Paul's unit on the top floor, but I couldn't risk it.My skin crawled at the mere thought of having to interact with the guy again. So I rushed out of the crowded living room full of drunks to fulfill a stupid dare, just so I would not have to deal with unnecessary drama tonight. It was my best friend's birthday, and I shouldn't steal the spotlight just 'cause my stubborn ex couldn't take a damn hint. I'd already told my friends not to tell Niccolo I was here and they agreed, but on the condition that I'd finish the dare. It was my turn in the Spin The Bottle game they were trying to kill time with.Quite nervous and gladly alone, I pushed open the door to Paul's bathroom. I thanked my luck when my tired eyes landed on a familiar brunette in dark jeans and a loose sweatshirt. The girl was alone, just reading a book in Paul's bathtub. "Sorry. I didn't—""Hi." The long-haired brunette glance
The Heir's Secret Obsession 34 | Not Dead, Actually
◆ MILES◆Brichese, ItalyI rubbed the grogginess off my tired eyes and sat up against the headboard, ignoring the sleeping naked woman snuggling under my covers. Her arm was loosely draped over my right thigh."Woman" because she told me she was 23, right before I'd asked her if I could buy her a drink. The memory provided some reassurance, somehow relieving the incessant pounding in my skull.We didn't even spend more than ten minutes in that bar outside the bustling city—one of my cousin's highly recommended spots for surreptitious meetups, and, eventually, information-for-money type of transactions.The girl definitely seemed interested in more than a drink on my tab, as far as I could remember. We didn't even have to use codes or anything. Unlike the first time I tried to scout for a willing snitch. She seemed quite familiar with the trade for someone as young as her.

◇ KEL ◇ New York No more modeling. No part-time jobs to secure my savings. No state support (not even a tiny discount off rent and utilities). And definitely no more time for procrastination...They should be enough reasons to motivate me to work my butt off, study all day to get good grades, and make no more excuses. Medical school was definitely not for the faint of heart.It had been a year since I'd lost sleep preparing for an exam that I nearly forgot about the pressure. Plus the steep hospital bills, which my dad's insurance barely even covered. "Strapped for cash" would be a mild way of putting it. As expected, we had to get a loan again to pay off outstanding bills, and the cash I'd spent on tuition was my hard-earned money the past year. Therefore every single cent should not go to waste. Frustratingly, my head couldn't absorb any more medical terminologies. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why my brain just fell into a darn coma. But it had no problem wasting ho

◆ MILES ◆Milan, Italy"What d'you want?"I looked up from my phone. It didn't surprise me to see Paul approaching with a lit cigarette and a snarly frown directed at me. "Did she call you?"

◇ KEL ◇ H. J. School of Medicine - New York "Subdural hematoma, multiple mononeuropathy, nonmalignant neoplasm." I dictated more complicated clinical neurology words to myself as I stepped out the huge doors of the main building. Today's exam had positively turned my exhausted brain into a hotchpotch of medical terms and textbook definitions, and if I hadn't flipped through some pages along the walk to school this morning, I doubted I'd even get past the first half of the exam. I was almost done rechecking my test answers in my aching head when my eyes caught a familiar face. The guy stood alone in the parking lot, leaning against an expensive-looking car the same color as his shiny shoes. My breathing hitched. I almost turned on my heel. My mind just drew a blank. Had he been waiting for me? To collect payment? This soon? Oh crap. I didn't have any money on me. His posture straightened when he raised his arm to wave at me twice. Enzo even smiled. What did he want now? La

◆ MILES ◆A brunch date.With her new number one fan.Sure. Whatever it takes...Suck it up for half an hour or so.Whatever it took to get her attention, I would oblige her willingly. Even if it meant having to sit through an awkward brunch, with her newest admirer showing all the wrong reasons she should hang out with the guy, I would shut up and not complain one bit.Mykaela might walk out on me if I actually said I didn't want Lorenzio Tomassini anywhere near her. The guy even had the entire restaurant closed up just to "get some privacy"...for him, probably, as well as his
The Heir's Secret Obsession 39 | Pain
◇ KEL ◇ 18 minutes had dwindled since Miles excused himself to take a phone call, leaving me alone with Enzo at the dining table, who also got busy with his phone. I waited, and waited. I stared at the end of the hall leading to the comfort rooms. Who was Miles talking to on the phone? Was he alone in the men's room? "Does he think we're dating?" I turned to Enzo. He was squinting at me and grinning lopsidedly, as if genuinely curious or amused by something. The question caught me off-guard, but he seemed rather interested than prying. "Maybe." I looked away and drank some water. "So, he thinks we're on a date?" "I suppose." "Did he ask?" Enzo leaned in. His folded arms rested on the dining table. "Not really." "But what'd he say? Last time you talked over the phone." "That I should stop talking to you." Enzo chuckled. "Fair enough." He drank water from his glass and then kept staring at me. "Would you date him?" He smiled when I kept my lips shut. "If he tells you he wants
