NICCOLO''Lucy? Oh God!'' Ria's honey brown widened in realization. ''You are going to track back to the accident she got into? But she said that it was ruled out as an accident. How will you find anything?''''You can find anything if you have enough money and power. Now why don't you leave it to me and stop spying?'' I said, trying to ignore how close we are.I can clearly see the finger prints on her jaw turning into a nasty bruise and the cut on her lip with dried blood. I clenched my jaw and looked into her eyes. They seem to be calculating something.''Oh, I will. When you say what you are hiding or should I say who? Who is that Moretti that ordered the accident to happen? You may not know the reason, but you do know that person. After all, he is family. Right?''The air crackled with tension as her piercing gaze bore into mine. I can tell her who that person is, but it isn't my decision alone. So I tried to dodge her question for now.''I'll tell you soon when I gather enough i

LUCYI gasped out loud, snapping my eyes open. My whole body is sweaty and my heartbeat rings in my ears. I can't believe I had a sex dream. I could still feel his lips on every inch of my body.I shudder at the thought.I miss him so much. We rarely see each other in the office as he had back-to-back meetings this week. It sucks that we don't spend some quality time together. That's why I decided that it was time to tell the kids about my relationship with Alex. I'll tell them this evening.I stretched and quickly got out of bed. I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth and made my way to the kitchen, where the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air.Gemma greeted me with a warm smile."Good morning, Gemma," I said, returning the smile. "I hope you've prepared something delicious for breakfast."Gemma chuckled, her eyes twinkling with affection. "Of course, dear. I know how much your boys love pancakes. They're waiting for you at the table."After a quick breakfast

ALEXAs the last dish was put away, Vicky hopped up from his chair, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Let's watch a movie! I want to watch a sci-fi movie!" His voice filled the room with enthusiasm, and I couldn't help but chuckle at his eagerness.Jay looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Really? Sci-fi? Can't we watch something more exciting?"Vicky stuck out his tongue playfully. "Come on, Jay! Sci-fi is awesome! There are spaceships and aliens and cool gadgets!"Lucy interjected with a gentle smile. "Well, I think sci-fi sounds like a great choice, boys. Let's find a movie that we can all enjoy."We made our way to the living room, transforming it into a cozy haven for our movie night. Pillows and blankets were arranged on the couch, creating a warm nest where we could all cuddle together. The room was filled with anticipation as Lucy found a sci-fi film that seemed suitable for our afternoon entertainment.As the movie began, I settled comfortably on the couch, with Jay sittin

LUCYIt feels hot in here, wherever I was. My eyes felt heavy as I tried to open them. I squinted my eyes and blinked slowly a few times before opening them again. When I tried to stir, I couldn't move my body. Confused, I looked down and found myself entangled with Alex. Last night's memory zapped into my brain, making me flush like a tomato.I'm only in my bra and Alex is in his boxers. His hands were wrapped around me, with his head buried between my breasts and our legs tangled inside the sheets. His thigh is directly in contact with my lower region, making it pulse with life.A smile tugged my lips as I took in our position. I have never cuddled with anyone intimately before but I'm loving this. Sure, it's not as comfortable as cuddling with my pillows, but I can't deny the fact that I just had one of my best sleeps.Gently untangling myself, I slipped out of bed and reached for my oversized T-shirt. I slipped it over my head and wore my panties before padding silently across the

ILARIAI woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep. I sighed and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. As I got out of bed, I realized I was only wearing a tank top and panties. I shrugged, thinking it was just me. The coolness of the marble floor sent shivers up my spine as I made my way to the kitchen.As I rummaged through the refrigerator, searching for a late-night snack, a sudden movement caught the corner of my eye. Startled, I turned around, only to find myself face to face with Niccolo. His presence sent a jolt through me, and I quickly pulled the tank top down, attempting to cover myself."What the hell, Ria? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Niccolo's voice was laced with annoyance, but I could see a glimmer of something else in his eyes.I narrowed my gaze at him, my own frustration mixing with the undeniable attraction that pulsed between us. "You should learn to knock, Niccolo. This is my temporary place to stay, remember?"He scoffed,
