YULIAThe purchase of the jewelry went smoothly; she bought two rings, both for Alexander. She couldn’t stop admiring the ring as Alessandro drove back home. She wondered if Alexander would love the ring she got for him. She pushed the ring into the shopping bag and looked out the window.She had bought it with his money, after all. He was going to accept it whether he liked it or not, especially since Alessandro said Alexander does not wear birthstone rings. She couldn’t wait to see the look on his face.As soon as the car came to a halt in front of the building, she grabbed the bag and hurried inside the house without waiting for Alessandro. She rushed up the stairs, even though the stairs were farther than the elevator. It didn’t matter since she was using the stairs already.She turned the doorknob as soon as she got to the door. Inside her room, Mocha was looking at her and meowing softly.She stroked the cat. “Did you miss me?”Soon, she was pulling out the bags and inserting her

YULIAAlexander took his seat beside her, and they began eating in silence. After a few minutes of eating in silence, Sofia eventually came up with something to talk about.“Where did you go for business?"Alexander peered at her. "In Germany, I went for an exchange.”“What exchange?” She asked. “You wouldn’t want to know about it, and I am not ready to share it with you.”“That’s fine. It’s not like we know each other.”That was the truth; she knew everything she could probably know about Alexander, but now that he had changed, She wondered if she knew anything about him.“Yeah.” He agreed. “You know a lot about me, but I don’t. Alessandro knows a lot about you; how come you both were friends?”She shrugged before answering. “We met in college; we were course mates and partners, and we were practically neighbors since we didn’t live in the college dorms.”"Interesting. How happy were you then that you were friends with my brother?”She shot him a glare, but on second thought, the gl

PADRINO Alessandro raised his brow at Alexander immediately after he heard Sofia's words. Alexander's brows creased as he stared at her. He closed the door and walked over to the other side. He sat in front of the sterling and glanced at Alessandro."You can drive in that, right?""Yeah," Alessandro replied.Alexander closed the car door and ignited the engine. He drove off and headed home. Yulia didn't say anything about the drive, and Alexander had nothing to say either.On getting home, Alexander parked the car, and before he could step out to open the door for Yulia, She had already stepped out of the car."I will get changed." She murmured before hurrying into the house.Alexander walked behind her and watched her climb the stairs. He entered his room and took his seat in front of his large monitor. He wondered what had happened in Yulia's past; he wanted to ask her, but she was still not ready to speak about it. She had mentioned that her sister was the one who made her father

YULIAAfter changing into something casual, she walked out of the room and headed outside. Alessandro was already waiting for her; he was putting on a red shirt and black pants. He turned to look at her as soon as she descended the stairs.“Let’s go.” He muttered.He led the way for her, and she got in the car with him. Alessandro ignited the engine and drove out of the building. They spoke about random stuff until they arrived at their destination.For the next five hours, Sofia called out to Alessandro and bombarded him with questions. He spoke to her when she was having a manicure; he was like her shadow and got her anything she wanted. By the time they were done, Alessandro was already drained, and Sofia seemed to notice it.“Are you alright?” Sofia asked. “Do you want to stop by for a cup of coffee?”They were in the car, and Alessandro was driving them home. Sofia, on the other hand, was admiring her fingernails. It was painted bright white and blue, a combination of Alexander’s

YULIA & PADRINO She slipped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Turning on the shower, she let the water cascade over her, feeling it beat against her skin. She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down after the intense experience she had just had. She had allowed him to do whatever he wanted; she grabbed his soap and rubbed it against her skin. Soon after she was done bathing, she picked up a towel from where she had taken the other one from another time. She wrapped it around herself and walked out of the bathroom. Alexander was already dressed and sitting in front of his computer when she walked into the room. He looked up at her for three seconds before averting his gaze. She raised an eyebrow and then walked over to the dress that was laid out on the bed. “I will have to get dressed in my room.” She mumbled. She glanced at the bed; the bed had been so big that they hadn’t pushed off the clothes from the bed during their dirty play. As she spoke, he could
