A knock on my office door startled me and I looked up just in time to see the last person I expected at my workspace.

"Hello, dolcezza. How's your day going?" He invited himself in without asking me anything as I knew he rendered me speechless from the unexpected appearance he made of himself at my office. He settled down comfortably on the couch and smiled softly at me like we were in a healthy, happy relationship and he just came here to give his lover a surprise visit! Damn him…

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked coldly and he shook his head in amusement.

"Last time after you asked the same question, I made love to you on your couch!" He winked at me.

"Isabella, a hard-working businesswoman who wants nothing more but to get rid of her past....


Alexander, an arrogant billionaire who wants nothing more but to make Isabella never forget her past!"

Mister Insistent

The next morning when I woke up, I was alone in bed and I wondered for a while if I had dreamed about him coming to sleep with me last night. 


But when I got out of my room after freshening up, I saw Alexander sitting on the couch reading a magazine while sipping coffee while James was nowhere to be seen. 


“Good morning.” I greeted and he turned his head towards me and smiled softly as our eyes met. 


“Good morning, bellissimo (beautiful). You slept well?” He asked and I nodded, then passed him to get to the kitchen but he stopped me. 


“Sit down, I’ll prepare a delicious breakfast for both of us.” He offered while standing up after putting away the magazine. 


“Haven’t you eaten yours already?” I was confused as he was already sipping on his coffee when I emerged from the room. 


He shook his head, with a smile. “I was waiting for you to wake up. I only drank the coffee, not eaten anything yet.” I pursed my lips, disapprovingly.
