plush ante\u2013room and looked at the name on the opposite wall spelled out in matt chrome lettering and reeled.<\/p>\n<p><i>Roseca Industries and Philanthropic Foundation.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Renewed horror spread through her. It was only on the plane to Rio de Janeiro, when she\u2019d been reading the extra information on the charity given to her by her boss that she\u2019d become aware that it was part of a much bigger organization. An organization run and set up by Luca Fonseca. The name Roseca was apparently an amalgamation of his father and mother\u2019s surnames. She hadn\u2019t been operating on a pay-grade level that had required her to be aware of this knowledge before now.<\/p>\n<p>Except here she was, outside the CEO\u2019s office, waiting to be called in to see the one man on the planet who had every reason to hate her guts. Why hadn\u2019t he sacked her months ago as soon as she\u2019d started working for him? Surely he must have known? The insidious suspicion took root: perhaps he\u2019d orchestrated this all along, to lull her into a false sense of security before letting her crash spectacularly to the ground?<\/p>\n<p>That would be breathtakingly cruel and yet, this man owed her nothing but his disdain. She owed <i>him<\/i>. Serena knew that there was a good chance her career in fund-raising was about to be over before it had even taken off. And at that thought she felt a spurt of panic mixed with determination. Surely enough time had passed now? Surely even if this was some elaborate revenge cooked up by Luca Fonseca as soon as he\u2019d known she was working for him, she could try to convince him how sorry she was?<\/p>\n<p>But before she could wrap her head around it any further a door opened to her right and a sleek dark \u2013 haired woman dressed in a grey suit emerged.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<i>Senhor<\/i> Fonseca will see you now, Miss DePiero.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Serena\u2019s hands clenched tight around her hand \u2013 bag. She felt like blurting out,<i>but I don\u2019t want to see him!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>But she couldn\u2019t. As much as she couldn\u2019t just flee. The car that had met her at the airport to deliver her here still had her luggage in the boot.<\/p>\n<p>As she stood up reluctantly, a memory assailed her with such force it almost knocked her sideways: Luca Fonseca in a blood \u2013 stained shirt, with a black eye and a split lip. Dark stubble shadowing his swollen jaw. He\u2019d been behind the bars of a jail cell, leaning against a wall, brooding and dangerous. But then he\u2019d looked up and narrowed that intensely dark blue gaze on her, and an expression of icy loathing had come over his face.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d straightened and come to the bars, wrapping his fingers around them almost as if he was imagining they were her neck. Serena had stopped dead, in shock at the battered sight of him. He\u2019d spat out, <i>Damn you Serena DePiero, I wish I<\/i><i>\u2019<\/i><i>d never laid eyes on you.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Miss DePiero? <i>Senhor<\/i> Fonseca is waiting.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The clipped and accented voice shattered Serena\u2019s memory and she forced her feet to move, taking her past the unsmiling woman and into the palatial office beyond.<\/p>\n<p>She hated that her heart was thumping so hard when she heard the door snick softly shut behind her. For the first few seconds she saw no \u2013 one because the entire back wall of the office was a massive window and it framed the most amazingly panoramic view of a city Serena had ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic glinted dark blue in the distance, and inland from that were the two most iconic shapes of Rio de Janeiro; the Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer high on Corcovado. In between were countless other tall buildings right up to the coast. To say that the view was breathtaking was an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>And then suddenly it was eclipsed by the man who moved into her line of vision. Luca Fonseca. For a second, past and present merged and Serena was back in that nightclub, seeing him for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d stood so tall and broad against the backdrop of the dark and opulent place. Still. She\u2019d never seen anyone so still, yet with such a commanding presence. People had skirted around him, men suspicious, envious. Women lustful.<\/p>\n<p>In a dark suit and open \u2013 necked shirt he\u2019d been dressed much the same as other men but he\u2019d stood out from them all by sheer dint of that preternatural stillness and the incredible forcefield of charismatic magnetism that had drawn her to him, before she could stop herself.<\/p>\n<p>Serena blinked. The dark and decadent club faded. She couldn\u2019t breathe. The room was instantly stifling. Luca Fonseca looked different. It took her sluggish brain a second to function enough for her to realise that he looked different because his hair was longer, slightly unruly. And he had a dark beard that hugged his jaw. It made him look even more intensely masculine.<\/p>\n<p>He was wearing a light coloured open \u2013 necked shirt tucked into dark trousers. For all the world the urbane civilised businessman in his domain, and yet the vibe coming from him was anything but civilised.<\/p>\n<p>He crossed his arms over that massive chest and then he spoke. \u2018What the hell do you think you\u2019re doing here, DePiero?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Serena moved further into the vast office, even though it was in the opposite direction she wanted to go. She couldn\u2019t take her eyes off him, even if she\u2019d wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>She forced herself to speak, to act as if seeing him again wasn\u2019t as shattering as it was. \u2018I\u2019m here to start working in the fundraising department for the Global Communities charity.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Not anymore you\u2019re not.\u2019 Fonseca said tersely.<\/p>\n<p>Serena flushed. \u2018I didn\u2019t know you were\u2026involved until I was on my way over here.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fonseca made a small sound like a snort. \u2018An unlikely tale.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s true,\u2019 Serena blurted out. \u2018I had no idea the charity was linked to the Roseca Foundation. Believe me, if I\u2019d had any idea I wouldn\u2019t have agreed to come here.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Luca Fonseca moved around the table and Serena\u2019s eyes widened. For a big man, he moved with innate grace, and that incredible quality of self \u2013 containment oozed from every pore. It was intensely captivating.<\/p>\n<p>He admitted with clear irritation, \u2018I wasn\u2019t aware that you were working in the Athens office. I don\u2019t micro \u2013 manage my smaller charities abroad because I hire the best staff to do that for me, although I\u2019m reconsidering my policy after this. If I\u2019d known they\u2019d hired you of all people, you would have been let go long before now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>His mouth twisted with recrimination, \u2018But I have to admit that I was intrigued enough to have you brought here, instead of just leaving you at the airport until we put you on a return flight.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>So he hadn\u2019t even known she was working for him. Serena\u2019s hands curled to fists at her sides. His dismissive arrogance set her nerves even more on edge.<\/p>\n<p>He glanced at a big platinum watch on his wrist, \u2018I have a spare fifteen minutes before you are to be delivered back to the airport.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Like an unwanted package. He was firing her.<\/p>\n<p>He hitched a hip onto the corner of his desk for all the world as if they were having a normal conversation amidst the waves of tension. \u2018Well, DePiero? What the hell is Europe\u2019s most debauched ex \u2013 socialite doing working for minimum wage in a small charity office in Athens?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Only hours ago Serena had been buoyant at the thought of her new job. A chance to prove to her somewhat over \u2013 protective family that she was going to be fine. She\u2019d been ecstatic at the thought of her independence. And now this man was going to ensure that everything she\u2019d fought so hard for was for naught.<\/p>\n<p>For years, she had been the enfant terrible of the Italian party scene. Frequently photographed with reams of newsprint devoted to her numerous exploits which had been invariably blown out of proportion. Nevertheless Serena knew well there was enough truth behind the headlines to make her feel that ever \u2013 present prick of shame.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Look,\u2019 she said, hating the way her voice got husky with repressed emotion and shock to be facing this blast from her past, \u2018I know you must hate me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Luca Fonseca smiled. But it was hard. \u2018Hate? Don\u2019t flatter yourself DePiero, hate is a very inadequate description of my feelings where you are concerned.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><small>Click to Learn More<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[21],"portfolio_entries":[23],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
