Lisa Mathew worked as a receptionist in a 3-star hotel. She cherished this job very much as a widow with a six-year-old-son. One day, she met a dashing hot guest name Augustus Carlos. She didn't recognize that he was the new boss of their hotel. All her colleagues believed she had annoyed their new big boss and would be fired. But Augustus weirdly forgave her and promoted her as the vice manager?!! More astonishing, the man said he had a secret crush on her for over six months and proposed. But she had never met him before. She should refuse, but her mouth had already spoken "Yes"....
It's the starting of the month of October. It's usually warm in daytime and cold at night in Rome, Italy. A beautiful woman with the height of 5'9 ft was jogging in Villa Ada Park. She used to come here since her husband died and her life became a mess. She kept herself locked and started to get depressed. When her best friend, Sasha saw her like this, she took her to Villa Ada Park to cheer her and encourage her to start her life again. Not for her but for her son.
Then, she started to walk in that park every morning and slowly her mind started getting clear and she started to look for job. As she was young, when she got married. She didn't have any qualification to apply for job. But, by her appearance she looked well qualified. The way she spoke to people impressed them immediately. She didn't have any choice for job so she applied for receptionist in many hotels, restaurants and parlors. She was not really confident about getting a job. But, one day out of the blue, after a month of her interview. She has been called from a Hotel named Hotel Colosseum, a 3 star hotel. Asking her to start the job as a receptionist.
It was totally unexpected for her, she said yes immediately and started her job as a receptionist, two months ago. It was not a big salary but at least she has taken a first step towards her new life. As usual, she was jogging in high spirits without noticing a powerful gaze on her.
From the last 3 months, that gaze was constantly on her. But she never looked at him as if he's invisible for her. He had been exercising in this park for long time. But, nobody was able to get his attention except her. When he first saw her, she was so skinny, pale and looked pitiful sitting on the bench, thinking of something and crying for half an hour. He used to see her crying quietly but never tried to console her. He wanted her to come over from it. And one day, he saw her walking instead of sitting at her regular place. She was walking with headphones on, still not interacting with people. But at least, she is not crying now. He used to follow her for walk.
As usual, she didn't notice him at all. After exercise, she turned all sweaty and her skin became red like a tomato. For other woman, being sweaty means ugly but she looked more beautiful after being exhausted. Now, her skin is not pale anymore. It's getting her colour back and though now her body shape is also going back to normal. After finishing her walk, she gets back to her home. And he headed back to his home. He didn't follow her after that, he just used to see her in the morning at the park. It's the main purpose of his to come to this park. He didn't follow her further nor did he know her name at all.
...
After Lisa Mathew reached her home, she took shower, ate breakfast, and headed to the Hotel in her working clothes. When she reached hotel, everyone was discussing something and suddenly one of her colleague pulled her and told her the shocking news.
"Hey, do you know that owner of Hotel caught red-handed by his wife. She has taken everything from him. He is left with this hotel only and he's going to sell it to survive. I don't know if new owner would bring his own staff or let us continue this job.?" After listening to it, she got really nervous. It's just been two months, she started her job and now someone can kick her out just like this. Just when she was feeling grateful, Life again shows her there is no peace without any hardships..
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her colleague pulled her back by saying, "See, your newcomer but still you feel disappointed and what about us.? We have been working for more than 5 years. I swear, if they kick us out. We are going to protest about it." As she said it, other colleague also nodded in agreement. As Lisa had just started this job, she never gossiped about her colleague. And never got herself in the work politics. She managed an apologetic smile to her colleagues and went straight to her desk.
Till afternoon, she did her work ignoring the gossips around her. While she was working with her head down, a man tap on the desk. She looked up and saw a man wearing black colored suit and black sunglasses looked like a spy or serial killer. "Hello.! How can I help you.?" She asked politely. "Hello.! I forget my card inside the presidential suite. Can I get another one.?" He asked with a straight face. She searched in her computer for presidential suite to verify the man before handing key. She saw that it was booked by the name of Augustus Carlos.
So, she asked him, "Are you Mr. Augustus Carlos.?"
He replied, "No" She said, "I'm sorry sir, the suite is booked by the name of Augustus Carlos. I can only hand him the card not anyone else except him."
"What.?" The man got angry and shocked. "Do you know who I am.?" He asked.
Lisa gave him a polite smile and said calmly, "Sorry sir, Rules Policy." While the man was staring at her, a hand approached from behind him calmly said in a low voice, "Go, I'll handle this." Lester saw his boss and a look of fear appeared on his face. He tried to apologize to him because that Stupid woman is not handing him card. His boss would think of him as useless man, who couldn't even bring a room card for him.
He ignored Lester and stand in front of desk. "Hello.! I am Augustus Carlos." Lisa looked at him from her screen. His face looked like mixed-race, she couldn't tell if he was Italian or American. His body looked well built in his three piece dark blue suit, long legs and cheetah like physique. He was about 6'3 ft tall. He was wearing blue colored branded glasses in which she can see her face. After taking a close look at him, she asked. "Hello.! Mr. Augustus can I see your i. d please.?" Augustus looked at her with admiration and there was a slight light in his eyes, he immediately think of something and said, "Well, I forget my i. d in my room with my card."
"Sorry sir, Rules Policy. I need to see your i. d." She said apologetically. "Why do you think I would pretend as Mr. Augustus Carlos.?" He asked curiously. "I don't know, sir." Lisa said. "Maybe he is a famous man. What do you think.? Ms. Lisa Mathew.?" He asked teasingly.
"Sir, I can't comment on this. It's rules policy even if man is famous or not I have to follow the policy." She said in a serious professional tone. "How about this. You come with me and I'll show you my i. d card I left in my room." He offered. She hesitated then said, "Ok sir." "Great" As he was about to enter in lift. He signaled Lester not to follow. Lester stopped and turned away from elevator.
After the door closed, Lester said to himself, "What's wrong with the boss.? Just now when he told me he forgot his card. He was so angry. Before stepping out of the car, he has send me to bring the key and now suddenly his mood changed. And he's happily heading in elevator with the receptionist, when he can call the manager for card and get her fired." He scratched his head and looked at the front desk astonishingly.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare.

She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
