Hot Chapters

Aria’s Discovery

As I entered back into the boutique, bright chandeliers cast a warm golden glow over the elegant dresses displayed on racks. Rows of gowns in soft pastels and shimmering fabrics lined the walls, the air filled with the scent of expensive perfume. I stood in front of a mirror, smoothing down the pale blue dress I had just tried on. The silky fabric felt cool against my skin, but I couldn’t shake the discomfort twisting in my stomach.

Floral Encounter

Standing at the entrance, framed by the morning light, was Matteo Moretti. He wasn’t alone. Three massive Dobermans flanked him, their sleek black coats gleaming under the fluorescent lights. They stood still, poised, their eyes sharp and alert, exuding the same quiet authority as their owner. Matteo held their leashes effortlessly, as though they weighed nothing.

Mystery Man

He was… tall. Like, ridiculously tall. At least 6’4”, with broad shoulders and a suit that looked like it was made just for him. His black hair was slightly messy, like he had just run his fingers through it, but somehow, it still looked perfect. But it was his eyes that stopped me in my tracks. Deep, piercing blue. The kind of blue that felt like it could see right through you. There was something playful in them, like he was amused by something I didn’t know about.

Realisation

I barely had time to react before she staggered back, her wide eyes locking onto mine like a deer caught in headlights. For a few seconds, she just stood there, her mouth slightly parted, completely mesmerized. And damn, if I wasn’t entertained by it. I took my time studying her, letting my gaze drift over the delicate features, the way her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the faint flush creeping up her neck. She was cute in a way she probably didn’t even realize—completely unaware of the effect she had when she looked at someone like that.

Unexpected News

Instead, she sat across from me at our tiny kitchen table, her perfectly manicured nails tapping against the rim of her coffee cup, and casually announced she was getting married. Married. To Victor Castillo. For a second, I just stared at her, my brain refusing to process what she had just said. Victor Castillo. Victor Castillo. As in, the man who had made my life miserable with his smug little smirks, backhanded compliments, and condescending attitude.
