Chapter 18: Seductive Nature

"I never thought meeting with the Largos would come to an end," Henna exclaimed, loosening the tight ponytail that held her vibrant red hair in place. It cascaded around her shoulders in a beautifully messy fashion.

Stepping into the Romano office, I couldn't help but notice that it remained exactly as I had left it the day before - elegant and serene.

"Let's pick up where we left off, without any interruptions from Pavi this time," Henna said, gracefully reclining on the couch. She resembled a Greek goddess, effortlessly beautiful. "Although, I must admit, I do enjoy watching him squirm when things don't go his way."

In the midst of the chaos and paparazzi that surrounded our contract signing, I had completely forgotten about Pavi's romantic involvement with the Romanos. My mind had been preoccupied with flashes of cameras and the constant buzz of attention.

"Ladies, the signing is currently being broadcasted," Nicolai announced, entering the room and making his way to the large windows. His opulent fur coat trailed behind him as he walked.

I joined Nicolai by the windows, and on every screen, images and videos of me signing the contract with the Romanos filled the headlines. "Malta: Gene.Co's Angelic Melodies Soon to be Heard" and "The New Blind Mag?" were just a few of the headlines expressing the world's excitement for my upcoming endeavors. Little did they know, I had more in store than just singing.

"You look absolutely stunning up there," Henna remarked, handing me a glass of champagne while her arm wrapped around my waist.

"And the whole world knows it!" Nicolai chimed in, his hand gently caressing my arm. "I bet Luigi realizes how lucky he is."

Their beauty and allure left me mesmerized. How could they have been romantically involved with someone as disturbing as Pavi? Perhaps they had come to their senses quickly?

"I have some news," I said, trying to regain my focus. It had been an exhausting 24 hours, but I hoped that this would mark the end of it all.

Henna grabbed my hand, sensing my seriousness, and guided me to the couch. We sat down together, and I took a deep breath. It was time to take down Gene.Co.

I explained Amber's plans with her new pills and the Grave Robbers' involvement in the whole scheme. She intended to expand the Zydrate business and further corrupt people's addictions with her new drug. I pulled out the baggie of pills from my bra.

Henna quickly snatched the pills from me to examine them, while Nicolai slinked over and took a seat beside me on the couch. Both of their eyes lit up with excitement.

"I must admit, Amber's plan is quite remarkable ," Nicolai said as Henna handed him the bag.

"But knowing her, she'll probably consume them all before they even hit the streets," Henna scoffed, rolling her eyes and taking a sip of her drink.

"Have you tried any, Malta?" Nicolai asked, his eyes fixated on mine, curiosity gleaming within them.

"No, I wanted to give them to you," I replied honestly. Should I have tried one myself? I couldn't deny the thought of temptation. The thought of taking one and forgetting everything had crossed my mind since discovering them.

"You've done remarkably well! I can't believe you found all this in just a day," Nicolai praised, focusing his attention on the bag. "I'm amazed you had the self-control not to try one. I surely wouldn't have."

"Maybe we can," Henna suggested, her touch electric as she placed her hand on my leg. I couldn't help but notice the desire hidden behind her gaze as she lingered on my lips. "There's enough in there to take down Gene.Co and satisfy our curiosity."
