Crumb of Destiny

He was the man New York couldn't stop talking about -
Leonardo DeLuca.
Billionaire. Perfectionist. The kind of man who made silence feel like a statement.
Cold to the world, but warm where it mattered - his family.
Then came the rain.
A broken schedule, a wrong turn, and a little bakery on Willow Street.
That's where he met Emilia Hart -
pastry student, part-time worker, full-time whirlwind.
Flour on her cheeks, dreams in her eyes, and a heart too strong to break.
He lived in skyscrapers.
She lived in recipes.
He spoke contracts; she spoke sugar.
But destiny doesn't ask for permission -
it spills coffee, ruins suits, and rewrites lives.
He wasn't looking for love.
She wasn't looking for trouble.
But fate?
It had already set the oven timer.
Because sometimes love doesn't arrive with roses -
it comes with rain, a crooked smile,
and the taste of lemon tarts that linger long after goodbye.

My first love
I took a deep breath. "I know you know," I said. My voice was barely a whisper. The words felt huge in the quiet room. Luca tilted his head. "Know what, Iris?" His eyes searched my face. "My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known.
