Don't Laugh!

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:His voice was low, calm, unhurried—like a man who had all the time in the world.I stared at him for a moment before taking the headphones from his hand. “Thanks,” I muttered, my voice equally steady.We stood there, watching each other, two strangers who’d just crossed paths in the middle of the night. Something about him unsettled me—no fear, no hesitation. He was too calm, too composed, and that put me on edge.“Didn’t expect anyone out here,” I said finally, breaking the silence.“Same here,” he replied, slipping his hands into his pockets. His lips curved slightly, like he knew something I didn’t. “Nice place you’ve got.”My jaw tightened. “It’s mine.”“I know it's yours, Mr. Vincenzo,” he said smoothly, his voice even, unsettling. “I rented a house here for a year. I was impressed with the architecture—the designs are remarkable. Truly a reflection of a brilliant mind.”“You rented a house here?” My brow arched sharply as I stared at him, disbelief creepin

Mind Games

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:"Good morning, Boss," Evelyn greeted as Venom led her into my office.I glanced up, narrowing my eyes. "So, you didn’t think to mention that one of my properties was rented out in this estate?"Evelyn blinked, clearly caught off guard. "Oh, no, Boss, I did. I had you sign the papers, and I assumed you’d given consent—it's the CEO of Blackthorn Industries who rented the apartment.""CEO of Blackthorn Industries?" I raised an eyebrow, the realization dawning. "The same guy who sent me that invitation?"She nodded, her gaze steady. "Yes, that's him."“Is anything the matter, boss? What's wrong?”I exhaled sharply, irritation bubbling up. "The urge to fire you is getting stronger by the minute. You’re really pushing my limits today."Her eyes widened as I picked up my pen. "Get to work, Evelyn.""Here? Or at the company?" she asked, adjusting her glasses."Seriously?""I'm sorry," she mumbled, quickly heading to her desk."Send me the profile details of this man, al

Is She Capable

Victoria Bella Volkov:I stood next to my grandpa, Charles Arlington, as the shareholders waited. I wasn’t officially part of the company yet, but today, Grandpa was introducing me as something more.Grandpa smiled and spoke with his usual confidence. “Ladies and gentlemen, meet my granddaughter, Victoria Bella Volkov. She’s been away for some time, but I’m proud to announce she will be stepping into the role of Managing Director.”The room was quiet, and all eyes were on us as he made the announcement.“Managing Director?” A skeptical voice cut through the silence. “But Elizabeth has been running the company for years. You’re telling us you’re replacing her with someone we don’t know?”I stood tall, feeling their doubt. They didn’t know me, and I didn’t know them. Their skepticism was understandable, but it still stung.Grandpa spoke up, cutting through the murmurs. “I know this might be unexpected, but Victoria is my only granddaughter. I have every faith she’ll lead this company we

A Lazy Morning

Victoria Bella Volkov:“Was it that stressful?” Vincenzo asked, massaging my legs. I had actually dropped by the house.“Yes, it is. I'm so stressed, and my feet hurt…” I winced softly.“I’m sorry, pumpkin… I’ve got something to show you…” He leaned towards me for a kiss, but I moved my face away, only to see that he was mad.“Are you avoiding me?” he questioned, dragging my feet to the ground. I screamed loudly, accompanied by a laugh.“Hey, that’s unfair! I want to sleep. I have meetings tomorrow with the heads of departments. Honestly, I’m going crazy…”“Is that why you denied me a kiss? Because you’re going crazy?” he asked."Why don’t you entertain me, hmm?” I sighed, dragging my feet toward the kitchen. “I’m sad—so sad—and I don’t even know why. I’m just tired, stressed, and overwhelmed. Thinking about the Washington family and all the work… it’s too much.”Tiger followed close behind, his hands gently massaging my shoulders. It didn’t help.“Still not feeling better?”“No…”“Co

Back To Work!

Victoria Bella Volkov:“What?” I turned to look at him.“That red gown,” he said, stepping forward to pull it off the hanger. “And these.” He handed me a pair of black heels from the shoe rack, along with a matching black bag.I raised an eyebrow. “You’re surprisingly good at this.”“You married a man of many talents,” he said, smirking as he watched me slip into the dress.Once I was dressed, he stepped closer, brushing his fingers lightly over my bare shoulder. “You’re stunning.”“I know,” I said with a playful smile. “You married a gorgeous woman.”“Damn right I did.” His voice dropped as he leaned in, kissing the side of my neck. “I’m a lucky man.”His hand slipped lower, delivering a quick, playful slap to my ass. “And don’t you forget it.”I laughed, swatting him lightly. “Alright, alright, enough of that. I have to go.”After a lingering kiss, I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. Vincenzo had already arranged for Venom to drive me to the company, so I slid into the sleek bla

Die! Die!

Victoria Bella Volkov;I was still figuring out the category. Should we focus on luxury, practicality, or a mix of both? These decisions felt endless, but they had to be made.I sighed and leaned back in my chair. The list of employees who weren’t meeting expectations sat on my desk. I planned to let some of them go. There was no room for people who couldn’t keep up.The interns, on the other hand, had done well. Most of their reports were detailed and on time. Maybe it was time to promote one of them to show others what I valued.My phone buzzed. I reached for it, expecting a notification or email. Instead, I saw a message:"Hey Victoria, I have something about your parents I want to show you. But you must come alone."I stared at the screen, frowning. My parents? What could anyone possibly know about them now?The first thing that came to mind was: Who is this?I typed quickly, keeping it short."Who are you?"I hit send and waited. The seconds stretched longer than usual, my mind r

make it look like an accident

Victoria Bella Volkov:I was freaking out, my hands trembling as I crouched beside Marianne’s body. She wasn’t breathing, her face was covered in blood. My mind raced as I stood there, staring at the mess I had made. “Dammit,” I muttered under my breath, clenching my fists. My car had hit her so hard, she hadn’t stood a chance. I backed up, glancing around nervously. The road was deserted, the warehouse looming in the distance. There were no witnesses—at least, not yet. I couldn’t let anyone find out about this. My hands were shaking as I climbed back into the driver’s seat. I started the engine and reversed the car slightly, just enough so her body slumped to the ground with a sickening thud. “Ahh…” I groaned, stepping out of the car again. I crouched beside her, staring at her limp form. My heart pounded in my chest as I whispered, “What do I do? Think, Bella…think.” I started pacing, biting my lip until it hurt. Memories of us as kids suddenly flooded my mind. I remembere

Let's Be Friends

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“You want some tea?” I asked, looking at her, but she just shook her head.“Bella, you've not had anything since yesterday… Come on…” I coaxed, trying to be patient. She’d been in a haze, her mind clearly elsewhere, and I hated seeing her like this.“I can't. I can't eat, neither would I even take a drink,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, the words laced with frustration. “I still see her smirk. It feels like he’s watching me... I fell into a trap!” LittleMouse’s hands trembled slightly as she spoke, and I pulled her into my arms without thinking.I knew exactly how this felt—the way she was blaming herself. The way she couldn’t let go of the fear, the confusion. It wasn't her fault. She had been manipulated, played by someone I should've taken care of the moment I knew they existed. That idiot had crossed a line, even after I sent him a clear message to stay away from her.“You can stay home today. You don't have to go anywhere...” I said softly

Your Mad Mother

Victoria Bella Volkov:“Grandpa, you made this? For me?” I held up the soft, hand-knitted sweater he handed over. It was warm, cozy, and smelled faintly of lavender, just like his study.He chuckled, his wrinkled face lighting up with pride. “Of course, Bella. Only the best for my little sunshine.”I slipped it on, feeling the warmth—not just from the fabric but from the love it was made with. “Grandpa… you’re the sweetest!” I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug.He patted my back, but his voice softened. “This is nothing, Bella. If only…” He trailed off, his words hanging in the air like an unfinished melody.I knew where his thoughts were going. “Grandpa, don’t,” I said, pulling back and looking him in the eye. “Don’t go there. I’m here, and that’s what matters.”His eyes glistened as I kissed his cheek. “You’re right, my dear. I’m just an old man with too many memories.”I smiled, changing the subject. “So, what’s this I hear about you meeting Mr. Roberto?”“Oh, t

You're Crazy!

Victoria Bella Volkov:I leaned back in my chair, flipping through the pad Ashley had handed me. A small smile tugged at my lips as I admired the numbers.“This is really good,” I said, almost to myself. “Honestly, I didn’t realize I’d made such a big difference.”Ashley leaned on the desk, grinning. “You’re underselling yourself. If you hadn’t set the example, none of this would’ve happened. The board is thrilled, and with the new wine line launching soon? It’s a massive win.”“Mm, I’ll take your word for it,” I said, scribbling a quick note. “By the way, I’m starving. Can you get someone to bring me a cold cappuccino and a burger? I think better on a full stomach.”Before Ashley could answer, a sharp knock interrupted us.“Come in,” I said, glancing at the door.A young man stepped inside, his face pale and his hands fidgeting nervously. “Ma’am, there’s a... problem downstairs.”Ashley straightened, her brows knitting together. “What kind of problem?”He shifted on his feet, avoidin
