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

It was one of a Sunday morning and I was sitting on my couch, drinking a hot cup of fresh coffee along with checking my emails and also waiting for Saira to wake up. She stayed with me last night and we watched a movie together. I couldn’t remember the last time I have slept in. Every time I tried, I just ended up laying there, staring up at the ceiling. 


Yeah, I’m pathetic but I can’t do anything about it! 


Today was the last day of the week I gave myself to wait for his return but after tonight, I’ll never give him a thought or even hope for anything. 


My phone alerted me about a message I received. I opened up the text which came from Jan. He wrote to me that he’s flying in the evening and I told him that I’ll be at the airport, to see off. I smiled after sending him the message. 


“Why are you smiling?” Saira asked out of nowhere and I jumped. When the hell did she come out? 


“Oh, nothing. I was just texting Jan, he’s going back in the evening.” I told her & she sighed.
