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

I woke up more tired than I went to bed last night, it seemed. I didn’t sleep well & I had trouble falling asleep and when I did, I had a lot of nightmares waking me up and then had troubles falling back asleep again. 


I looked exactly how I was feeling; tired, vain and sad. I didn’t eat much, but only drank a big cup of tea and dragged me to work although I wasn’t feeling good today. 


Everyone noticed my pale and shaggy appearance but didn’t comment on it including John and Saira and I was relieved because I didn’t have the strength to explain myself to anyone. 


A few hours of work and then I went to the restroom to freshen up a bit but when I was exiting from it, a big, muscular arm wrapped around me from behind, pulling me into a big, solid body. I wanted to scream but I heard him saying: “Hello, dolcezza (honey)!” followed with a kiss on my cheek.
