Then let's continue to the work.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
My name is Summer Cole,
I am a 20-year-old Italian girl living in Rome.
At the moment I am on the way to my gate at Rome Fiumicino, Rome's biggest airport.
I am leaving this place currently.... 🙂
Since I was a little girl, it was always my dream to visit France, and it's romantic cities.
I left Italy quite a few times, but I never had the chance to visit this incredible city.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Paris.....
The city of love....
The city of culture and art...
I'd love to go to the Louvre and see all those unique masterpieces of arts.
Unfortunately, my journey to Paris has nothing to do with a holiday trip..
Summer Cole ( Fl )
A few months ago, my twin brother Alex disappeared….. 🥺
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Alex life was never easy to begin with. He was always a troublemaker.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
The family's black sheep, if you want to call it like that. 🥲
But it's not his fault to begin with! He just never really found his place in our society...
Everything in my family's life revolves around it. It wasn't easy to see my twin without a direction and a place in life.
He is my soulmate. We are connected and it was so hard to see him struggle. I asked Dad, once to give him a job in our family business, but he just shook his head.
6 months ago in Rome, Italy
I was pleading to dad in his cold aloof office.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Papa, you need to give him a chance 🥺
I looked at dad with hope in eyes for my twin.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
Princess, he is not ready to take his place in the family business.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
He still acts like a kid.
*Stern voice*
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
He doesn't take responsibility for his actions and he always ends up making the wrong decision.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
He never proved himself in front of us and he isn't ready, I will not take any risks. You know how dangerous business is.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
No mistakes are allowed!.
I helplessly looked at Dad with pleading eyes and got angry.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
But Papa give him a chance na!!
*stomps my feet* 😭
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
Daughter!!!
*angered and annoyed*
I said what I needed to say, don't raise your voice at me now go.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 *thinking* I am helpless
*sigh*
And one thing I didn't realise that Alex was hearing our conversation.
Alex Cole (fl twin brother)
*standing outside the door which is opened slightly and overheard their conversation*
Alex Cole (fl twin brother)
💭 I am so worthless. I don't know how to fit into this world.. Wearing their tattoo and being born with their blood.
Alex Cole (fl twin brother)
💭 Doesn't automatically make me one of them.. I need to make him proud 😞 I need to do something I can do....🤔
and back to Summer and her father conversation
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Dad still I think you should give him a chance to prove himself to us.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 I am aware that there's no sense to argue with my father on this subject. When Dad say "daughter", then it's over 🙁
Summer Cole ( Fl )
No more room for the topic so I changed the subject 💭
Summer Cole ( Fl )
And dad is there any news according to the new business in France? 🤨
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
*Sigh*
No, unfortunately, that stubborn man won't let us enter the market there.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
He said something about low quality, I don't understand what happened to our delivery. I told Jane to ship the best quality we had.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
I think there's another reason!
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
Either someone is messing with us in Italy or there's a problem in Paris. There's no other explanation.
Andrea Cole (Fl dad)
But this stubborn Frenchman stopped answering my calls.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 I saw dad getting angry as I felt the matter is puzzled..
Summer Cole ( Fl )
🙄 bad quality? Seriously?
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Never mind it's his loss at some point.
I am sure Jane will find another way to expand our business in France.
Alex Cole (fl twin brother)
💭 there's a problem with the delivery in France?
Alex Cole (fl twin brother)
💭 oh my god 😶 that's my chance, I will help my father expand his business 😃😃😆😆 that will show him what I am capable off!!
Back to the present at the Airport.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I didn't see Alex after that day in my father's office.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
He just disappeared... It took me 6 months to find a trace and when I found the clue.
I was walking towards my room when suddenly my phone ranged making me startled.
I saw the caller ID it was from Shane...
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Ciao Shane? 📲 *talking on call*
Shane evans
📲 Summer! I think Alex went to France...
Summer Cole ( Fl )
*Surprised* what the fuck? France? Why the hell would he go to France without telling anyone?📲
Shane evans
📲 I don't know exactly, but I heard he tried to dig up some information on the wrong people. 🥲🤧
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 It was never easy with Alex, but I really hope he didn't do what I think he was doing.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
📲 Paris?..
Shane evans
📲 yes, I think so, that's where I got the most recent information from.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
📲 okay thank you, Shane, I will call you soon. Let me know if you find something else.
Shane evans
📲 Sure, Ciao Bella!
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Mm Paris, huh?........
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 What do you want in France Alex? We have no business there...
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 There's only one reason why Alex would go to France, and I hope that's not it.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 If he's really that dumb then I am not sure if I will find him alive. 🥲
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I dug up more information and I have been following Alex's trace. There's a big French Mafia called....
Summer Cole ( Fl )
The Red Wolves...
Summer Cole ( Fl )
These are the people my dad and I were talking about the day Alex disappeared.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I found out that he travelled to Paris to meet a rival gang of the loups.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I guess he overheard the conversation between us .......that dumbass... 😑
Summer Cole ( Fl )
After Shane told me that Alex tried to dig up some dirt on the wrong people it hit me like a bag of bricks and made my blood run ice-cold.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Going against such people can cost you, your life....
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I have been investigating the last 2 weeks but lost his trace at a club called "Rouge".
Summer Cole ( Fl )
It's not a secret on to whom this club belongs to and the only way to find more clues about his disappearence is to walk into the wolves den..
*facepalms*
Summer Cole ( Fl )
So yeah, that's where I am going currently....
Principessa
After boarding the plane, Summer finds her seat and looks out of the window thinking about things helplessly.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 Now I am on my way to France. I need to find Alex and bring him back home.
*sigh*
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I am curious as to how things will go in Paris.....
Paris, the city of love….. Where you will see people in love, the city of light...the city of art..
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I wish I could visit it for those reasons, but I am on a mission now haa.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I will find Alex, and bring him back and I won't let him down anymore. Mostly many people don't understand the bond between twins.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Taking my twin away from me would be the most hurtful thing anyone can go through.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I don't feel whole anymore without him...😞
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 I am not really fond of taking off and boarding planes, so I just watch out the window and let myself get lost in the breathtaking view.
Just as I thought I will get some information but as I check my phone there's no messages.
I just packed the most important things I will go to shopping tomorrow haa no other choice especially when you are in a city with fashion and culture.
I made my way out of the airport and hailed the car waiting for me.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Hotel Le Palais Rouge s'il vous plait.
After I gave my destination, the driver left the airport.
Welles
How was your flight Principessa Mia?
(Note:- Principessa Mia= Princess mía)
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Welles 😁 I forgot that seats in public airplanes are so tiny and stiff.
Welles
Pfft somethings never change, you will always be a principessina.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Heyy what was that supposed to mean?
*pouts angryly*
Welles
Hey, hey 😂 I am just joking, don't bite my head off!
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Pfft, 🤭 I could never you are the hero of my childhood.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
You can joke about almost everything with me!
Welles
*Gaze soften*
I missed you Principessa!
Summer Cole ( Fl )
*smiles brightly* I missed you too Welles.
My smile fade suddenly and I became vulnerable.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I wished we could have meet under different circumstances Welles.
*with slow voice*
Welles
We will, don't worry... You will find Alex soon, take his ass back to Rome and come back for a little visit.
Welles
Your niece is always looking for you.
Well Aura wasn't really my niece, but Welles was more an older brother to me than a cousin. That's why his daughter Aura knows me as her auntie.
Welles left 6 years ago. He was my childhood best friend. One day at a club in Rome, we met Madeleine, his wife. Welles was a player, if someone would write a book about player lifestyle…
Welles would be the role model. Thinking about this made me chuckle. But when he laid his eyes for the first time on his wife, on the beautiful French girl, he fell hard
She was on her Graduation trip from high school, Madeleine was 18 year old that time, after some months of endlessly long calls. Welles decided to leave Italy.
Seeing him leave was really hard for me as we were really very close, but I am happy that he found his soulmate.
Aura was born 2 years after that. And surely family means everything to us that's why Welles decided that our family business is too dangerous, it's not a life for Madeleine and Aura, so they never came back.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I miss her too. I will visit as soon as it's safe for all of us.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
You left Italy for a reason and I won't bring my business to your door.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
You already did enough for me. You found Alex's trace for me.
*eyes soften*
Welles
Don't worry, Summer, you will always be my Principessa even after I left Italy back then. When you need help, tell me, I won't let you down.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 I am very happy I have people like Welles around me, it feels good to be around him again.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 like that we started to have some chitchat and we reached the hotel.
The car pulls to a stop in front of an impressive building.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Merci merci Welles. (merci= thank you)
Summer Cole ( Fl )
See you soon.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Be safe and give Madeleine and Aura a kiss from me.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I will be in contact soon. If you have any news make sure to e-mail me.
He winks at me in the back mirror and I leave the car. I made my way to the hotel lobby as I was fully exhausted.
It was quite a fine building. The floor and columns are made from the most expensive Italian marble it made me happy.
The hall is frame with exotic palms, it gives you an exclusive holiday feeling... I saw the receptionist at the end of the hall and started walking..
A huge black reception desk with a marble countertop is placed at the end of the lobby...the receptionist looks up from her computer and smiles at me broardly.
Receptionist
Welcome to le Palais rouge, How can I help you Madame?
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Umm I need a room for tonight...
Receptionist
Do you have a reservation?
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Sadly the trip wasn't planned so, no reservation.
I am not going to tell anyone, that I was planning to come here. It would just leave too many traces and bring up questions that I am not willing to answer just yet.
Receptionist
Sorry ma'am but you cannot stay here without a reservation, there's a huge event planned at the hotel and the guests are starting to arrive.
Receptionist
The hotel is fully booked.
The receptionist really thinks she has some guts...
I dare her to repeat her eye rolling behaviour towards me in a different situation.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Maybe my trip wasn't planned but I won't accept another accomodation in Paris.
After a few seconds pass, someone approaches me from behind.
The one and only- pt1
After few seconds pass, someone approaches from behind...
Kylian Marchant
Is there any problem here?
Now there's a handsome man in front of me. His whole body is covered with tattoos. The most striking tattoo is the skull tattoo on his chest.
As far as I can see it's framed with two stars. He has black hair. His eyes are ice blue, and they look at me expecting to give an answer to his question.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Look, I really need a room. I am so exhausted from my trip. I really don't want to search for another hotel. This hotel was recommended by a good friend of mine.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I neither have the power, nor the nerves to check another hotel...
*says with a low tone*
Summer Cole ( Fl )
And this receptionist of yours here doesn't even want to check her computer to see if there's anything free for tonight.
Kylian Marchant
Cecile will you please check if there are any rooms free for the night?
The receptionist starts checking the computer.
Receptionist
There is only one room free for the next 3 nights, the presidential suite.
Receptionist
It costs 2,500 dollar per night.
*rolls her eyes*
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Did you see her rolling her eyes at me again? 💭 😒
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 I don't know how these people can have staff like her at the welcome desk.
Kylian Marchant
My apologies....
But before he can even finish his sentence...
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Perfect! I will take that. 😊
Summer Cole ( Fl )
You can take the amount directly from my account.
I gave her my account to withdraw the cash.
Kylian Marchant
Wonderful! I am glad we could solve this issue, Miss....
Kylian Marchant
Furthermore, I am sorry the incident..
Kylian Marchant
She just forgot that the suite is just booked from Monday on. This evening drinks at the hotel bar are on my us tonight.
Kylian Marchant
Cecile (the receptionist) let the barkeeper know that Miss Cole will not be charged tonight.
Receptionist
Of course Mr. Marchant.
Receptionist
I have informed the bar staff just now.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Thank you Mr....
Kylian Marchant
Marchant, Kylian Marchant.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Thank you Mr. Marchant.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I am exhausted.. I am relieved I can take break from my trip now.
Kylian Marchant
That's what we are here for. I leave you to it now!
Saying so he walked away.
Receptionist
Here's your reservation confirmation. You will get final invoice on the check-out.
Receptionist
I have also given you the key card to your room. Take the elevator on the left and hold your key card to the magnetic field. After this press the bottom for top floor.
Receptionist
The Presidential suite is at the end of the hallway.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Okay got it. Thank you Cecile!
I hate people like her. They judge people based on their clothes, age or gender. What's more for me is that these gold diggers change their behaviour in a heartbeat.
They find out you are powerful or that you are rich and suddenly they smile and kneel at your presence?
Why ? I never understood. Anyways I picked up my bags and walked to the elevator. I did what I was told to.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
💭 Mm Kylian Marchant, He is Hades cincoln right-hand man.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
That's pretty interesting I wasn't expecting to meet one of them so soon. 💭
By the way, Cole isn't my real last name I use it whenever I am out to keep my real name as a secret.
I just don't like to draw attention to who I am.
My older brother Jane always says it's too obvious and too dangerous But I don't care.
Tonight I plan on fully enjoying, let's go and take a nap now. I rushed out of the elevator without caring about the surroundings. And as a result I bumped into something hard and almost fell on the floor.
My sunglasses fell off my face and landed across the floor. Two strong hands gripped my hips to save me from falling.
Summer Cole ( Fl )
Ohh my god, I am so sorry!!
Summer Cole ( Fl )
I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!
I wanted to know who I bumped into ans who saved me at the last second. So my eyes started to wander.
This man has expensive shoe taste, his leather boots are covered with rivets made of pure gold. My eyes trailed up his leg. The ripped jeans pull tight around his legs.
My gaze wander higher... A tattoo peeks out of his sleeve…he wears a velvet suit covered in deep red. He is well-trained, and his abs play beneath his shirt. The chest I bumped into was rock hard and his grip was strong.
I caught a glimpse of his tattoo.... it's a skull with two stars..the exact tattoo I saw on Kylian in the lobby.
His beard is well trimmed and I see a scar on his right eye. He has full sensual lips. I catch myself wondering how soft and full lips would feel on mine...
When I finally meet his eyes, I am shocked. His red eyes are watching me closely. In front of me is standing the one and only.....
