You Would Never Know by KaraJulene

Ignoring the dreariness that followed her, she left everything behind and drowned herself in a lifestyle that consisted of constant jet lag and days of sleepless nights. And deep down, she was aware her only survival mechanism was to run away and not look back, even if all she wanted to do was take one more glance at the one who was deserving of a stargazer, not a withering being with nebulous ideas for salvation. After nearly a decade of evasion, Dali realizes this isn't the place she's supposed to be and decides to take a leap of faith back to where everything started, not knowing that she'd be busy unraveling the web of lies created by the unexpected. Maybe it's because love, lies, and loyalty blend well in high society; you can't even decipher who's a friend and who's a foe.

We destroyed what mattered most, but my deepest regret is how much I hurt her. Every moment of pain I caused haunts me.

She died believing we didn't love her, and that loss left a wound that nothing can ever heal. "Hello, I'm Alessio Bianchi... I'd give anything to have her back, even if it's just in my dreams."

But the thing about hitting rock bottom is, there's nowhere to go but up. Now, I own a multi-billion dollar empire, built from the ground up with my own hands. I'm happy, stronger than ever, and exactly where I want to be. The funniest part? They think I'm dead. "Hey, I'm Valentina Sorrentino... you had your shot-now it's my turn."

"So what, you're talking friends with benefits?" "If you really want to put a label on it," I rolled my eyes and leaned back in my seat. "Think of it as two good friends being there for each other whenever they need to be. I'll be honest, you're the first woman I've met that can match my energy in bed, so I think we owe it to ourselves to... explore each other in the best ways possible." Her smile widened, but she didn't respond right away. Instead, she took another slow sip of her wine, savoring it as she held my gaze. The unspoken challenge hung in the air between us, making it clear that whatever happened next, it was going to be on her terms-and I was more than willing to play along. "Just friends, no strings attached?" "Not unless you like being tied up, Dimples," I chuckled, staring into her captivating eyes. "And trust me, I'd be the best friend in the world." *** Meyson Maddox knew better than to let just any woman get close to him.
