Devil CEO

given him the opportunity, they would have seen the intelligent guy behind the hard work. But at least the place provides him with medical care, which is a relief because even though he looks like he's not that young anymore. My sister is very similar to me, but at the same time different. She gets attached easily and lets go even more easily. She's eighteen and already has a boyfriend, without my father knowing, of course, or he'll have a heart attack. She says she doesn't love him, that he's still a boy mentally and she wants a man for her life, so in the meantime they enjoy each other.

Around seven o'clock, I take a quick shower without washing my hair because it's clean and has light natural curls, so I start getting ready. I put on a strapless jumpsuit with a sweetheart neckline and a nice waist, a delicate necklace and nude heels to complete the look. I'm more basic and I like versatile pieces like this one. She doesn't spend much and is always well put together. I prefer almost no makeup, I think it's cool but I don't have the patience every day, so I just put some color on my cheeks, a mascara to make it look like I put on makeup and my usual lipstick that makes my lips a little redder as if they were naturally like that. I take a taxi because if I know my friend well I'm going to drink so I won't even think about putting my hands on the wheel today. Learn kids. I arrive giving Hayley's name on the reservation and when I'm directed to the table I almost freak out when I find a tall blond with piercing blue eyes. Chapter 02 - Mr. Ricci? - Miss Stell. - He says as surprised as I am. I sit down so as not to embarrass myself in the fancy restaurant and he still stares at me. - Excuse me, but what are you doing here? - I ask trying not to be indifferent and he smiles. - Hayley. - He just answers. Bitch. I can't believe you did that. - You told me to come at eight, didn't you? - I ask and he nods. - I can't believe it. - I murmur already taking out my cell phone and calling the scoundrel. Oh, how I feel like killing today. - Hayley D'ângelo Hunter. - I say through my teeth. - Apparently you've already arrived at the restaurant. - I hear her laugh. - Enjoy the night. - Why did you do that? - Oh, friend, you need to... - I hear a confused noise and laughter. - David said that if you don't want to listen to live porn, you better turn it off. - How disgusting. - I grimace. - I'll kill you tomorrow. I hang up before hearing inappropriate things and turn to Lucca. - It seems like we fell into a trap. - He looks at me confused. - Hayley isn't coming, in fact she set up this dinner for the two of us. - I explain and he bursts out laughing. - Damn, I owed Hayley for trapping her in the elevator with David. - He explains and I remember that. - At least it was worth it, they came back with everything. - I say happy for both of them. Seeing David sinking every day and Hayley pretending to be happy on the other side of the ocean wasn't cool, but I think it was necessary for them to have a mature relationship today. - True. - Then I'll go for it. - When I was about to get up, he called me. - No. - I look at him. - Since we're here, have dinner with me, princess. Do you have to be so sexy speaking Italian? Lucca is the kind of man who charms you right away. He's gorgeous, tall, with eyes the color of the sea, an eye-catching physique, not to mention the amazing smile he has, and an extraordinary charm. I was enchanted the first time I saw him at work and I was even speechless. Today, I'm getting used to his presence around me and I'm not so silly anymore. - Come on, let me buy you dinner. - He asks and smiles slyly like a good man who knows the weapons he has. - Okay, just because I'm hungry. - I murmur, sitting down again and picking up the menu. - Sure, princess, whatever you want. He knows that his Italian accent makes him irresistible, doesn't he? Of course he must know. If he's not careful, a man like that can easily run me over. We order and I let him choose a good wine since that's not my specialty and let's face it, if the guy comes from the land of wine I'm not stupid enough to not take advantage of the opportunity. - Have you been working for Connor for a while, Olivia? - He asks as soon as our wine is served. My name comes out differently when he says it, it almost comes out too sensual. I sound like a sex freak who associates everything with that. Oh, but come on, finding someone nice is hard. - Marco was still at the company a long time ago. - I'm talking about the older Connor. Shortly after his wife died he retired, leaving his children in charge and for about three years he's been traveling more than at home. - How did it start? He asks interestedly and that's why we were able to have a relaxed conversation where we talked about ourselves, but about our professional lives, and in fact he made me feel free to say whatever I wanted. He wasn't the type of guy who talks and talks, brags all the time and doesn't even give us the opportunity. It's more of a monologue than a dialogue. - Aurora is... wow, I don't even know how to say it. - He sighs and I see his eyes shine. - She changed my world and turned it upside down, but in a good way, you know. Mi piccola is the most important person in my life, I do everything for her. At no point did he mention the little one's mother and I didn't even dare to ask even though I was curious about it. I let him talk about his adventures with the little one and we ended up talking about Samuel too and I realized that the blond really does have an uncle's affection for him which makes me happy. Lucca insisted on paying the bill and like a complete gentleman he opened the car door for me. If anyone says that I sighed alone in the car while he turned around, I'll say it's a lie. - It's delivered. - I said as I stopped the car in front of my building while I took off my seatbelt. - The night wasn't bad. - I joke and he smiles. - See you later. - Wait. - He holds my arm and looks at me. - Can we go out again? He asks and I hold my breath and without even knowing the reason I answer. - I don't think so, good night Lucca. This time he lets me go, but before I do, I hear hi

time he lets me go, but before I do, I hear him say that it's not over yet, but I don't turn around to say anything. I just leave without looking in his direction and go up the three flights of stairs. As soon as I get in, I close the door and lean against it, closing my eyes. Why the hell didn't you accept to go out with him, woman? I shake my head, agreeing with my thoughts, and go to the bedroom. I take off my clothes, leaving only my underwear on, and put on the shirt of some ex who stayed here. I brush my teeth, tie my hair up, and snuggle into the sheets, still wondering the same thing.

Why the hell didn't I accept that invitation? Lucca is hot, attentive, has a nice conversational style, and isn't immature like these young guys. I think his thirty-five years of experience helps. He's a great father, and from what Hayley has told me, he's a guy who values ​​his family, which really attracts me. But while he has all the good sides, he also tends towards the bad. Lucca Ricci is like an Italian tractor that will run over me and crush me easily if I let it, and really? I don't know if I'm ready for this whole hurricane. Chapter 03 - I still find this story surreal. - Dafne murmurs, still in shock, just as I agree. We are sitting on a couch on the deck of Hayley's house. The subject made me delay my plans to kill her, but I haven't forgotten yet. - Don't even tell me. - She says and takes a sip of wine. - This is very surreal. Until yesterday I thought I didn't have any relatives, by blood ties I mean because family already has too many people. She dramatizes but smiles. I know how deep down she always wanted this, a full house, people who love her. I'm extremely happy for her. - And this new news? I'm eating myself up with curiosity. - There are two of us, Dafne, the woman won't tell us anything. - I affirm, seeing Hayley smile mischievously. - They'll know soon, all that's left is for Ben to arrive. Soon I hear a shout in a voice very familiar to me. - Family. ●●● - I'm going to cry. - I say, receiving support from Dafne, who is tougher but I know she's emotional. My friend is getting married, I'll be a bridesmaid and Jacey is crying over Hayley's declaration. This is too much for my poor heart. Amidst the congratulations, I hug the couple, leaving a message for the groom who at the moment I forgot is also my boss, who cares, leaving an insinuation that I know how to hide a body doesn't hurt. I catch a glimpse of Lucca next to Hayley and the moment her gaze met mine, a smile blossomed on her lips. I take a deep breath and head inside the house, I need a second. I sit on the couch, throwing my head back and soon a little hand takes mine. - Are you sad, auntie? - She exclaims, looking at me curiously and smiling, pulling him onto my lap. - I'm very, very happy, and you, kitty? - Ben's mania that I've picked up. - I'm very happy. - She says, opening her hands to show how happy she is, making me laugh. - Sam. - I hear the cry of a not very delicate little voice and soon I see the owner smiling when she finds him. - Aurora, I'm so happy. - He repeats smiling but I see the girl's blue gaze waver, those eyes, just like her father's. Stop thinking about it crazy. - What is it Aurora? - He gets off my lap and takes her little hand. - Nothing. - Is everything okay, dear? - I ask, getting close to them and she looks up sadly. - Will I have a mommy one day like Sam has a daddy? - She says hopefully and I swallow hard. I'm definitely not the best person for this situation, but I need to comfort this little one. - Come here, little one. - I call her and she smiles out of nowhere, making me frown. - Daddy calls me that. - She says as she approaches, standing in front of me and I take her hands, caressing them. - You know, Aunt Olivia doesn't have a mommy either. - I take a deep breath to be able to continue. - I grew up without one and even so I'm very happy with my daddy, just like you are. - I love daddy. - He smiled. - And he loves you too, you don't need to be sad about not having a mommy if you have a daddy who loves you, okay. - That's it Aurora, don't be sad. - Sam tries to help. - Now. - I pull both of their waists throwing them on top of me and tickling them listening to their laughter. - Pa... for auntie. - He asks breathlessly and I stop following them laughing. - How about some candy? - I ask and they get up excitedly running outside, but before I get a tight hug from the little girl who leaves without saying anything making me smile. - Thank you. - I hear his voice and jump with my hand on my heart. - Christ, men don't scare me like that. He smiles and walks until he sits next to me leaving the trail of his woody scent in the air. - I didn't mean to, sorry and thank you... you know, for the words. - You're welcome. - I whisper scared. - Have you been listening for a long time? He nods letting me breathe a sigh of relief. I don't like talking about this part of my life. - The invitation is still valid. - She says and I roll my eyes. - Oh Lucca. - I get up and run away. I literally run away like a frightened animal arriving at the outside area to hear Dafne's speech. - Oh my God, do you really flirt with everyone? - She asks, looking at Ben who only knows how to laugh. - If there's a skirt, he'll hit on it. - I say, sitting next to her and Hayley, opposite the men who are drinking beer and playing with the children in the other corner. Jacey and Marco talk while David and Lucca, who has already returned, play with their children, but soon the four of them are involved in the same thing. - Hey, I'm not like that, Olivia. - She shouts for attention and I roll my eyes. - You... - I look at the children and don't curse. - Your anal orifice, that's a lie, Benjamin, this week alone I've been rejected three times by you, three. - I speak louder, the last one showing with my fingers. - And I love you for that. - Leaves a kiss on my cheek and stands up before I land the slap. - Violent. - She screams. - Big baby. - I retort. - Miss Stell. - Scoffs. - Scoundrel. - Hottie. - You... - The kids. - She ends the argument and still smiles. I snort and take the blonde's glass, drinking it in one go. - They look like siblings who fight all the time. - She says looking between the two of us. - Almost like that. - I disdain. - We need to schedule a girls' night. - Hayley proposes. - That's right, I need that. - Was dinner that bad? - She asks with a mischievous grimace line

trying to focus my mind but nothing works. The week is almost ending and only God knows how I have held on until today, I am almost unbearable, I can't handle myself and I don't even know why. Or maybe I do and I want to keep him well hidden. I clear my thoughts, seeing that I've been idle for too long. Today is girls' night, so let's go, without forgetting to hope that we don't screw up. ●●● - ? - I ask. We're at Open Life. Okay, no one came looking for a man, but this place is familiar, which makes us feel at ease. - At the beach house. - She says and takes a sip of her drink.

I think it's our room. - I already told Dave that I want something small, at the beach. Meghan said that if I just say what I want, she'll do it. Meghan is the one who was with David at the restaurant, a big mess of misunderstandings that made her end the day with a beautiful diamond on her finger. - I'm here. - She throws herself into the empty chair, panting, and we laugh. - Late, but I'm here. Filipo is a piece of work. He looks like an angel, as Hayley calls him. He's new, but sometimes he has some deep conversation. - Mi piccolo? - She asks. - With Aurora and the men at Lucca. What's the reason for the delay? - He smiles mischievously and looks over my shoulder where we all turn to see Jack with his shirt half wrinkled. - Fuck. - Daphne screams, getting attention. - I can't believe it, you deserve an award, no, you deserve the whole Oscar. - We burst out laughing. - And what about him leaving the next day? - I ask and he scoffs. We're gossips who know about everyone's business. - He was late and when he came home at night he found the note he left on the pillow but it ended up in the middle of the sheets. - I'm still perplexed. - Daphne says. - Says he's good in bed? - He's a god in bed. - Admit it. - Holy shit. - Hayley screams and fans herself. - A double round of tequila here. - She asks the waiter and we laugh. - I need karaoke. - I say out of nowhere and they look at me like I'm crazy. - What? I need to let off steam. - I know a better way. - I almost turn into the exorcist girl and look at my friend who raises her hands in surrender. - The one who spoke is no longer here. - I can do it. - Dafne says excitedly, downing the liquid in the glass and already standing up. - How? - I think Filipo doesn't know that her cousin is the owner. - My love. - She smiles smugly. - I can do everything and I also rule this shit here. - She winks and walks away shaking her hips. I don't even want to imagine the shit we're going to do when fifteen minutes later I see some guys inventing a karaoke in a corner with two microphones. Christ. We have a drunk Hayley and Dafne sharing the microphone and Filipo and I dancing and singing almost screaming next to them while Camila Cabello's Liar invades the place. I think Dafne's cousin is going to want to kill us tomorrow. - They're watching, I feel it (hey) I know I shouldn't stay (yeah, yeah) I picture your hands on me (I think I wanna let it happen) But what if you kiss me? (Yeah) And what if I like it? And no one sees it They're watching, I feel it I know I shouldn't stay I picture your hands on me (I think I wanna let it happen) But what if you kiss me? What if I like it? And no one is watching I dance sensually with a Filipo who says he's alerting the damn security guard so the night ends in hot sex. When the song ends and along with it the laughter of the two, Filipo and I turn to see what scared them. - Holy shit. - Dafne screams and laughs again. - Cool fuck. - Hayley whispers, unable to hide her smile. We approach them, the four of us forming a shield. - Who told them? - I ask from the corner. - I'm sure it was Jack. - She murmurs. We have Benjamin laughing like crazy, Jacey clearly enjoying the situation, David furious with his arms crossed and a huge pout. And finally, a blond Italian who doesn't take his eyes off mine. - Where's Samuel? - I hear Hayley ask. - With Aurora and Lucca's mother. - Then they start a conversation in my ear. - I want one too. - Ben exclaims like a child and grabs the microphone with Jacey jumping on it right after giving me a kiss on the forehead. - I choose. - He says. - I'm going too.. We even stop breathing when Hayley is thrown on her fiancé's shoulders and I see her laughing and giving us a thumbs up. - Lucca, can Sam spend the night there? - Sure. - She answers Dave. - You're going to get a violent pent-up today. - Dafne screams when she sees him walking away and at that moment we become the main attraction of the place. - I'm going to go. - But already Olivia? - Fuck you Ben. - I'm going to fuck you. - She jokes and I roll my eyes. - Still grumpy. - I'll go. - I grab my purse and wave goodbye with my back turned. Chapter 05 - It was you, wasn't it? - I mumble to Jack who smiles at the corner of his mouth. - I don't know anything. I laugh in disbelief, leaving the place walking along the sidewalk and trying to find a car to take me home. - I didn't know you were that much fun. I scusi. - She says when she sees that I'm scared as usual. - Only sometimes. - I answer. - Do you want a ride? - She asks with her hands in her pants pocket. I look around and see that it's already late. I shrug, it'll save me at least. I tell myself that this is the only reason I accepted Lucca Ricci's ride. The walk was silent with only the car's sound on low. But I was comfortable like this. - Can I ask you a question? - She says as soon as she stops in front of the building and I wave. - Go out with me Olivia? - Lucca.. - I mumble and he shakes his head, stopping me from continuing. - Why don't you accept going out with me? Explain it to me. Damn, you didn't like that dinner, is that it? Give me a reason, something. - I don't even know. - I scream defeated and throw my head back against the car seat, closing my eyes. Fuck, I don't know, and that sucks because I'm not like that. - Olivia. - He murmurs. I feel his fingers run over my chin, making me open my eyes and look back at him. - I'm not a kid like you're used to, Olivia. I'm thirty-five years old, a father, a grown man saying he wants to go out with you, that he wants you. He sighs and I feel my cheek heat up against his hand. - You say you don't want to go out with me, but every time we meet, there's this tension in the air. If you s
