✦ MASSIMO ALESSANDRO ✦
The rain hammered the villa windows like it wanted in. Massimo sat in his study, glass of scotch in hand, surrounded by men discussing power and legacy. But his mind wasn’t there. It was on her. His brother’s fiancée. The woman he’d wanted from the moment their eyes met at dinner. He hadn’t touched her — but every time she was near, something inside him snapped awake. Then the door opened. She walked in — calm, bold, wearing a satin robe that wasn’t hers. The room fell silent. Massimo raised two fingers. “Gentlemen,” his secretary said, “Signore Alessandro will speak with you shortly.” They left. She stepped closer. Her legs flashed beneath the robe. Her eyes burned. “You interrupted my meeting,” Massimo said quietly. “I found something more important,” she said. “If this is about him—” “He’s cheating on me,” she said. No tears. Just truth. Then she added, steady and clear: “Marry me instead.” Silence. Massimo stood. His chest rose slow.
