~LUCAS~

I feel like something heavy is pressing against my skull… like I’m being dragged up from the bottom of a deep, suffocating ocean where everything is cold, silent, and endless.

It feels like I’ve been down there for hours, days, maybe longer.

Then something shifts….a flicker, a pull, and suddenly, I'm rising.

Fighting my way back.

The first thing I feel is pain….not sharp or sudden.

But deep… aching… spreading through every inch of my body like it has settled into my bones and made a home
Jessy May

Sweethearts, as we all know, Lucas' roommate's name is Albert, and we also have Albert Morrison, the Mafia heir. So to avoid confusion and mistaking them for the same person, I decided to use Albert, Lucas' roommate's other name "Fred"

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    HE'S A THREAT

    ~LUCAS~By the time evening rolls in, the office begins to empty one by one.Chloe leaves too, waving at me.I hear the other colleagues leaving too, and I'm sure Fiorella must have left too.Voices fade, and lights dim until it's just me, and the sound of typing again.Again, the door opens quietly.“Mr. Lucas?”I don’t need to look up this time to know it's Chloe again.“Hmm?”“Why are you still here?” she asks.I glance at the clock briefly to see it's late, but not late enough.“I should be asking you that,” I tell her. “I thought you left already. Why are you back again?”“I figured out you might still be at work, so I came to convince you to go home,” she replies.“I still have a lot to do,” I reply simply, eyes already back on the screen.“You can continue tomorrow,” she says gently, stepping closer. “You’ve already done so much today.”Not enough.“Not yet.”She hesitates for a while before speaking again.“I can stay,” she offers softly. “Just for a l

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    MAKING PREPARATIONS

    ~FIORELLA~The door closes behind me soft, controlled and final.And still, I don’t move.My hand remains on the handle a second longer than necessary, fingers tightening slightly against the cool metal.My pulse is steady, too steady, and too deliberate.Like my body is trying to prove something my mind already knows isn’t true.I inhale slowly, then exhale in composure…. always composure.I step into the hallway, heels clicking against the polished floor in precise, measured rhythm. Each step is calculated. Each movement is intentional and untouchable.That’s what they see.That’s what I’ve built.And I don’t let anyone take that from me.Not clients.Not opponents.And certainly not him….Lucas.The name lingers longer than it should.Annoyingly so.I tighten my grip around the file in my hand.I need to focus and work, that's what matters.Not the way his voice dropped when he spoke to me.Not the way he looked at me like he wasn’t intimidated.Not the way he s

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

    ~LUCAS~I move closer to the table, setting my file down beside Fiorella's.Our hands brush, light, and accidental ... .but enough.She freezes just for a fraction of a second.Then she pulls her hand back like she touched fire.“Careful,” she says coldly. “I believe I made myself clear earlier.”I lean slightly closer, lowering my voice just enough.“You did,” I murmur. “And that wasn’t intentional.”Her eyes flash, but she doesn't step back.Instead, she straightens, lifting her chin slightly.“Then keep it that way.”Her tone is sharp and controlled again.But I can see it now……that tension under her skin, that awareness.She’s not as unaffected as she wants to be.Neither of us is.I glance down at the file she’s holding, forcing my focus back to work.I let my gaze skim over the pages, pretending interest, but every nerve in my body is still aware of her, of the neat annotations in her handwriting, of how precise every detail is, of how she leaves no room

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    BROKEN RULES

    ~LUCAS~Fiorella completely ignores me when she comes to work in the morning like I'm something invisible.Like I don't matter at all.Like yesterday never happened.I almost speak to her, almost ask her how her night was and if she's able to sleep last night.I almost ask her how she's feeling this morning and if she feels better now.But I close my mouth tight when I see she's really sticking to her rules.Fine, if that is what she wants….then I'm going to give it to her.Then I ignore her completely too, without any greeting, or even a word to her.But then, I know deep down that we'll still end up talking to each other before the day ends.At the conference room, I catch her stealing glances at me while still maintaining distance from the corner of my eyes, but I don't really look at her.It's just a matter of time before you speak to me, Fiorella.And even though I expected us to talk before the end of today, I'm surprised when the director announces that Fio

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    OPPOSING COUNSELS

    ~FIORELLA~The morning comes quietly.I wake before my alarm.My eyes open slowly, not with panic, not with fear… but with awareness and control.For a few seconds, I lie still, staring at the ceiling, feeling my breathing….steady, even, mine.No racing pulse, no trembling hands, no nightmare clinging to my skin.Just… silence and strength.A slow breath leaves me as I sit up, pushing the covers away. My body feels… grounded. Like every piece of me has returned to its rightful place overnight.Last night happened…..the fear, the crack, the weakness.But it doesn’t own me.It never will.“I’m fine,” I say under my breath, and this time… I mean it.I swing my legs over the bed and stand with no hesitation, and no lingering.I walk straight into the bathroom.The water runs hot against my skin, steady and controlled, just the way I like it.I stand under the shower longer than usual, letting it wash everything away, not just sweat or sleep, but the remnants of yes

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    I'M NOT COMPLETELY ALONE

    ~FIORELLA~My eyes snap open.The scream tears out of me as I jolt upright so violently my body aches from it.I can’t get enough air.My chest heaves, dragging in sharp, uneven breaths that scrape my throat. My hands fly to my body instantly, trembling, frantic, and searching.There's no blood, no knife, no alley.Just… darkness in the room.I’m in my room.For a few seconds, I don’t trust it.My eyes dart wildly around, my heart still racing like I’m being chased. The familiar outline of my wardrobe stands in the corner. The soft glow of the streetlight leaks through the curtains. My bedside table is exactly where it should be.Everything is still and quiet….too quiet.I swallow hard, my throat dry as sand, and press a shaking hand against my chest.“I’m… here,” I whisper, my voice hoarse and unsteady. “I’m home.”But my body hasn’t caught up yet.My pulse is still pounding violently under my skin, my breaths shallow and fast. I can still feel it…..the cold all

    ~LUCAS~The box is the first thing I notice when I wake up.It's there…. right where I left it before going to bed last night.Like it knows I haven’t made peace with myself yet.It's pushed neatly against the wall like it hasn’t been silently haunting me all night. Like

    ~MARCELLA~For a moment, I don’t move.Not because I can’t, but because my body hasn’t caught up with what just happened.Lucas Santis walks away from me like I’m nothing more than noise he’s finally learned to tune out. His steps are fast. Purposeful. He doesn’t look back

    ~LUCAS~I shouldn't let Marcella distract me, I tell myself.So I sit up straight, clear my throat and take a deep breath.I start listening to Dr. Raymond again, not until her foot nudges mine under the desk again.I stiffen.She leans closer, her voice barely a breath.“Y
