They should never have met.
Each one of them lived in different parts of the world. She lived in the light, an ordinary existence while he kept to the shadows, the underworld.
But one fate encounter brought them together and no matter how hard the...

Sighing I place Maximus's finished suit on the table, my eyes burned from staying up late to get it done. I have never finished a suit so quickly but it was as if I was possessed to get his done.
To see him or to get him out of my life? I know which answer I should say but I know it's the opposite of what it should be.
Hearing the chime, I knew that it was Maximus. Walking to the front I see him walking in, the look of him took my breath away. The man oozed confidence, sex appeal and danger. Three things you only hear about but something I have never seen; not till he came barreling into my life.
I tried to keep my distance, to be careful but maybe everyone is right. Maybe I could take some time to have some fun, fun with no strings pulling in my business. What better time to cut loose then with a man like Maximus, a man who would be a once in the lifetime type of man and know how to make my time with him worth it.
"Buongiorno Bella." His deep voice made me shiver while I plastered, hopefully, a soft smile and one that didn't show how he made me shiver at the sight and sound of him. A professional smile, not one that gave away I was thinking about using him for his body.
"Mr. Sorrentino. I can bring the suit to you or it's in the back if you want to make sure it fits correctly." I answered, proud at myself for keeping my voice polite.
Maximus playfully rolled his eyes. "Stella, Mr. Sorrentino is my older brother Lorenzo, not I. You don't have to be formal with me."
Not answering I lead him into the back, picking up the finished suit and handed it to him.
Clearing my throat, I busied myself while he checked the final result. "It is better quality than any other suits I have at home. I trust your skill to not have to try it on. Plus, if I don't like it, it gives me a reason to come back."
I nodded and hid a smile at his compliment to my work.
Slowly turning to him I found Maximus carefully watching me. "Have I offended you Stella?"
"No." My voice was high, too high to be considered polite and one that obviously said I was hiding something.
A slow grin spread over his face, his body taking a slow step towards me. "Ah, are you trying to make sure you don't seduce one of your customers?"
"Maximus." I said slowly watching his body come closer.
He raised a brow. "Oh, its Maximus again, is it?"
"I'm not interested in anything Maximus. Right now, I'm trying to learn how to run the family business to the best I can, hire more staff and design my own clothing. You are, well you would be a distraction." I said stepping back, my but hitting the table keeping me in front of him.
