ISABELLA’S POVAs I ran out of my room, I bumped into a hard chest and I froze into it. Knowing it would be no one else but Alessandro, “oh sorry I hadn’t seen you come this way...” I quickly mumbled, too embarrassed to look up.“Aren’t you leaving my body? Look, I know I am very handsome and it’s easy to fall in love with me but don’t...” I heard him say. It was then that it occurred to me I was still glued to his body. Shit! I jumped away, totally flushed.“Me? fall in love with you?” I scoffed with disgust.“Should we check?” he dropped shocking me further.Before I could say another word, he had me pinned to the wall and worst of it all, he has his eyes fixed on me all these while. I could have sunk into the ground or probably vanished if I had the power. I was going to act tough and match his gaze without flinching but as I stared right back at him, I realized one shocking fact. I have feelings for him!Once I discovered this, I slipped through under his arms and dashed off with

DOMINIQUE’S POVHearing that boss was going to rescue one of his gang members made me felt bad. He forgot how he was trapped and almost killed by one of them.How could he go knowing his life was at stake? And no matter what I tell him, he was adamant and still went on. But that night he returned safely but not alone.“Dominique, this is Mattia, Mattia, Dominique.” he introduced me to the new guy.The new guy was annoyingly well built too and flashed me a smile which I intentionally ignored.I felt so mad within me that I would have sent a punch across boss’s face if he hadn’t once saved my life.He swore to never let the location of this place be known by another man yet he brings this man. This man could be a trap but he wouldn’t hear of it.“Erm,”The new man was on the verge of starting a new conversation when Alessandro headed in but I quickly started to head inside leaving him standing.“Follow me.” I murmured as I walked past him.I took him to one of the guest rooms, pushed th

WRITER’S POVOutside, the air was brisk and moist. The sun has already begun to set in the sky and inside, on a medium-sized bed lay Isabella. Soft moans at intervals escaped her lips and her snore, light and soft filtered in the room. She felt a sharp pain in her head as she rolled to the other end of the bed. Then she tried to open her eyes but her eyelids felt heavy. She managed to force them open only to be hit by the rays of the sunlight straying into the room.“Aarhg shit...my head...” She groaned as she forced herself to sit up on the bed. She wondered why her head was aching her that much.She felt her throat dry and dragged herself out of bed towards the refrigerator where she took out a bottle of water but as she made to lift the bottle and drink from it, a flash of memory hit her.She froze.“No, that can’t be. What is this...” she reeled back in shock and collapsed to the bed as the memories started to rear up, in fragment until it fully clicked in her head.“Oh no... wha

ALESSANDRO’S POVLike I expected, Isabella didn’t join us for breakfast the next morning after her drunk act. I could imagine her hitting her head on the wall the moment the scene of the night get clear in her head.How could she even let herself drink when even a mere sip is enough to get her drunk.“She was cute though...” a thought popped up in my head. I could still imagine her saying those words. I shook my head to push the thoughts away.“Let her be...” I stopped Dominique from going to bring her to the dining for breakfast.She would have to feel awkward if she came. “Take some food to her, Mattia...”The whole day and the next, she completely avoided me. Then one morning, she suddenly busted into my room as I was stepping out of the washroom.For seconds she stood dazed without saying a word but when she finally jerked back to the moment, she said to me the words I had feared to hear again. I thought she had come to apologize for the night but she had come to confess her feel

ISABELLA’S POVMy stay at the sauna finally came to an end and I got a small place to stay. A studio apartment. Safe to say it was a bit tiny but then it sure suit me at that moment. I only had a few things and just wanted to live quietly until I could afford a bigger place.Thoughts of him kept on intruding my thoughts. I wondered if he searched for me even a tiny little bit. I wondered if he was eating well and sleeping well. I wondered if he had moved on and like always gave no two shits about me and wherever the hell I was.I sighed and elongated my leg further on the tiny mattress.Oh, I missed that big house of his. I get to be in a big bed and eat whatever I want and with people too. But now I was all alone and even though it itched me to get out there and make a new friend or more, I knew I had to stop myself as this was the worst time to let in someone in my life.Next thing to do, I must find a job. I need as many jobs I could take this time. I hoped no one would recognize m
