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

“Yes, far far away from me.” I clearly saw a flash of pain in Alexander’s eyes but in my complete rage of anger, I ignored it completely. I only focused on evening out my breathing. 


Alexander only stood in front of me for long moments, staring into my eyes. It hurt me to look at him, but I didn’t give in. “Come out for dinner with me tonight.” He said, completely surprising me. 


I looked at him as if he completely lost it. “Are you for real right now?” I asked him, not hiding my growing anger. I leveled him with my gaze but he didn’t back down. He even lifted his head up higher. I smiled a fake, huge smile, filled with sarcasm. “What game are you playing now, Alex?” I asked him tiredly. 


He stepped closer to me and lifted his hand up, nearing it to my cheek but I backed away from him again. He didn’t have the right to touch me again & I wasn’t also prepared to feel his gentle touch again. 


“I’m not playing any games, Bella.” He said gently.
