~LUCAS~

I shouldn’t have said all that to Stella.

The thought doesn’t come gently. It hits me like something thrown straight at my head….sharp, unexpected, impossible to ignore.

It lingers for half a second longer than I want it to… before I shove it away.

Because the truth?

I don’t regret it enough.

Not enough to wish I could take it back. Not enough to feel guilty.

Stella deserved every single word.

Every. Single. One.

Still… the look on her face when I said it…the way

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    AN ATTACK

    ~FIORELLA~Something tells me that Lucas is somewhere in the firm watching me right now.But I don't care about him right now.I just need to get home with no one invading or intruding into my personal space.So I just enter my car without bothering to scan the environment or to confirm that Lucas is really watching.I throw my bag to the back seat, and then I start the car.“Just drive, Fiorella… just drive,” I mutter to myself, gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary.Soon, I'm driving out of the firm, and I'm now on the road.The drive home is a blur.I don’t remember the traffic lights. I don’t remember the turns.I just… arrive at my house.The house greets me with silence….. heavy, suffocating silence.I drop my bag on the table and kick off my heels, the relief almost painful.For a moment, I just stand there in the middle of the living room.I'm alone, completely alone, and the quiet presses in too loud and too much.“Why does it feel like the

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    SHE NEEDS SOMEONE

    ~LUCAS~The door clicks shut behind me, soft, controlled, and final.And for the first time in a long time… I just stand there, not moving, not thinking.Just… standing in the middle of the hallway like an idiot.My jaw tightens slowly, then harder.What the hell was that?Why did she switch up so bad like that??Did it offend her to know that I'm in love with another woman??Wait…. don't tell me she's jealous??A humorless scoff almost leaves me, but I swallow it down, my gaze dropping briefly to the floor before lifting again.People are still moving around… staff rushing, voices low, tension thick from everything that happened outside.But it all sounds distant and muted.Because my head?It’s still in that office with her.Every word she said plays back, sharp and precise.‘You should never have walked into my office without permission.’‘Forget everything that happened today.’‘Don’t ever help me again.’‘You are not allowed to come close to me.’My tongu

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    FIORELLA'S RULES

    ~FIORELLA~“Why do you even care?” I ask Lucas, my voice quieter now… but sharper in a different way. “I mean….why did you stand up for me back then? It's not like we're close or something.”He doesn’t answer immediately.And for a second…I think he won’t.Then…..“Because,” he says slowly, “you have Marcella's face, and because of that….I don't want them hurting you because in my mind, I see Marcella being hurt instead of you.”I blink twice.And am I really feeling a tiny bit of hurt??Wait ... .did I really think he stood up for me because it's me?? Because he did it for me?I laugh at my stupid self inwardly.Oh com'on Fiorella…. how could you think that?It's not like we both are close or something for him to risk himself defending and protecting me out there.I let out a dry laugh.“The lady you mistook me for?” I ask.“Yes,” he replies.“What's the full name of this Marcella you keep talking about, and who is she to you??” I ask.“Marcella Nico,” he says

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE??

    ~FIORELLA~I hate that he’s here.No… that’s not true.I hate what his presence is doing to me.The air in my office feels different now, heavier, like it’s pressing against my chest and making it harder to breathe. Or maybe that’s just me. Maybe it’s everything I’ve been holding in finally deciding it’s had enough.Lucas hasn’t moved.He’s still standing by the door, watching me like he’s trying to figure something out… like I’m something that doesn’t quite make sense to him.And I don’t like that.I don’t like being seen.Not like this.And no…. I'm not hugging him.The silence is very awkward, and tense.“You must have something to say, right??” I force out, my voice tighter than I want it to be. “Or are you just going to stand there and stare?”It comes out sharp, edged, controlled.It's familiar and safe, but it doesn’t feel as strong as it usually does.His gaze doesn’t waver.If anything, it deepens.He keeps staring at me for a while, and then he finally

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    I'M FIGHTING MYSELF

    ~LUCAS~The drive back to the firm is quieter than it should be, and that alone irritates me.My mind doesn’t shut up.It replays everything…..the crowd, the chaos, her hand in mine, the way she looked at me.The way she held on.I grip the steering wheel tighter than necessary.This is exactly why I don’t get involved.Because now?Now she’s in my head, and I don’t like it.Not one bit. I’m already expecting things to have calmed down at the court with security in place, order and normalcy restored.But the moment my car slows to a stop, I know that’s not the case.There’s a crowd now in front of the law firm, and not just a small one.It’s worse than the one at the court, and they're louder and restless.Press, journalists and reporters, shouting over each other like they’re waiting for something… or someone.My jaw tightens.You’ve got to be kidding me.I cut the engine and step out, shutting the door harder than necessary.The noise hits immediately.The qu

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    ANOTHER COMMOTION

    ~FIORELLA~The car comes to a smooth stop in front of the firm, and before Matteo can even step out, I’m already reaching for the door.I need distance from everything.The door opens, and the moment my heels hit the pavement, I straighten instinctively, my spine aligning, my shoulders pulling back into that familiar, unshakable posture.Control.I step out like nothing happened.Like I wasn’t just clawed at by a mob.Like my pulse isn’t still slightly uneven.Like Lucas’ voice isn’t still echoing somewhere deep in my chest.“I’ll get your bags, ma’am,” Matteo says quickly from the driver’s seat.I don’t look back.“Mm,” I respond faintly, already moving.The glass doors of the firm slide open the second I approach, and the cool, polished interior greets me like a second skin.The law firm is safe, structured, controlled and perfect.But I barely take three steps inside before…..“Miss Fiorella!”“Congratulations!”“You did it!”The sudden burst of voices hits m

    ~LUCAS~The air in the room changes the moment they step in.It doesn’t just shift….it tightens, like something invisible has wrapped around my throat and started squeezing.My eyes lock on them.Xavier and Albert.For a second… just a second… everything inside me goes st

    ~MARCELLA~Lucas is in danger.“No!” I suddenly shout, my voice cracking as I push myself to my feet. “You’re not touching him!” The room goes still. Xavier raises a brow. “And how exactly are you going to stop me?” he asks softly. I step forward despite the fear cl

    ~MARCELLA~I just got home not quite long from a breakfast date with Lucas.Lucas had free lessons today, and I…I decided to skip classes to go on a breakfast date with him.I got a message from Stephanie in the car on our way back home asking that we have lunch together becau

    The decision is made the moment Albert walks out of that bar.It's not written, but sealed somewhere deep in the cold, calculated part of him that no longer hesitates when it comes to getting what he wants.And because he doesn't rush or act on impulse, he plans every move, every action, every seco
